> This pull request mitigates failures in memory stress tests that check the stack trace of an `OutOfMemoryError` for certain expected entries.
> 
> The stack trace of an OOME will [not be allocated once all preallocated OOMEs are used up](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3d5eeac3a38ece4a23ea6da2dfe5939d64e81cea/src/hotspot/share/memory/universe.cpp#L722). If the only heap allocations performed in stressful conditions are those of the stress test, then the [4 preallocated OOMEs](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/f1d0e715b67e2ca47b525069d8153abbb33f75b9/src/hotspot/share/runtime/globals.hpp#L800) would be sufficient. However, it's possible for VM internal allocations to also occur during stressful conditions, especially in `-Xcomp` mode. For example, [CompileBroker::compile_method](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3d5eeac3a38ece4a23ea6da2dfe5939d64e81cea/src/hotspot/share/compiler/compileBroker.cpp#L1399) will try to resolve the string constants in the constant pool of the method about to be compiled. This can fail as shown here:

> These internal allocations can occur before the allocations of the test and thus use up the pre-allocated OOMEs. As a result, the OOMEs triggered by the stress test may end up throwing the [default, shared OOME instance](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/3d5eeac3a38ece4a23ea6da2dfe5939d64e81cea/src/hotspot/...

 - don't perform XX actions for OOME when in scope of an InternalOOMEMark
 - rename SandboxedOOMEMark to InternalOOMEMark
