The proposal is to encapsulate the nmethod mark for deoptimization logic in one place and only allow access to the `mark_for_deoptimization` from a closure object:
```C++
class DeoptimizationMarkerClosure : StackObj {
public:
virtual void marker_do(Deoptimization::MarkFn mark_fn) = 0;
};
This closure takes a `MarkFn` which it uses to mark which nmethods should be deoptimized. This marking can only be done through the `MarkFn` and a `MarkFn` can only be created in the following code which runs the closure.
```C++
{
NoSafepointVerifier nsv;
assert_locked_or_safepoint(Compile_lock);
marker_closure.marker_do(MarkFn());
anything_deoptimized = deoptimize_all_marked();
}
if (anything_deoptimized) {
run_deoptimize_closure();
}
This ensures that this logic is encapsulated and the `NoSafepointVerifier` and `assert_locked_or_safepoint(Compile_lock)` makes `deoptimize_all_marked` not having to scan the whole code cache sound.
The exception to this pattern, from `InstanceKlass::unload_class`, is discussed in the JBS issue, and gives reasons why not marking for deoptimization there is ok.
An effect of this encapsulation is that the deoptimization logic was moved from the `CodeCache` class to the `Deoptimization` class and the class redefinition logic was moved from the `CodeCache` class to the `VM_RedefineClasses` class/operation.
Testing: Tier 1-5
