Thank you so much! This is probably very helpful. I had planned to do some experiments on my own, but I was too busy with other issues.
I wonder if we really need memory barriers. The Java threads get suspended before we take a sample, right? So, I think the suspension mechanism should already prevent reordering of memory accesses.
I'll try it on PPC64 as soon as I find some time.
