Hi Andrew.  Unfortunately, the test and the code that is calling 
JavaThread::pd_get_top_frame() are all closed.  Does aarch64 have an 
tests that exercise JavaThread::pd_get_top_frame()?  To test, you need 
to suspend a thread, check if the thread state is _thread_in_Java, get 
the context, call pd_get_top_frame(), then try to walk the stack.

Or to get a deterministic way to test, I think you could insert illegal 
instructions in strategic places where the anchor frame is being set up 
(set_last_Java_frame() and C2 CallRuntimeDirect) and then call 
pd_get_top_frame() in the signal handler, try to walk backwards a few 
frames, patch the illegal instruction with a NOP, and return.
