> We can shrink nmethod entry barriers to 4 instructions (from 8) using conditional trap instructions. Some benchmarks seem to show very small improvements. At least the code size reduction is an advantage.

Martin Doerr has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes brought in by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains two additional commits since the last revision:
