Hi,
Please review this JDK-10 fix for JDK-8185103. The problem occurred
because classes were being put on the fixup_module_field_list before
their mirror field was set. If a (different) thread called method
patch_javabase_entries() before the class's mirror field was set then
this would cause a SIGSEGV because patch_javabase_entries() eventually
calls obj_field_put() which tries to dereference the class's mirror field.
This change fixes the problem by setting the class's mirror field before
putting the class on the fixup_module_field_list.
Open Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~hseigel/bug_8185103/webrev/index.html
JBS Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8185103
The fix was tested with the JCK Lang and VM tests, the JTreg hotspot,
java/io, java/lang, java/util and other tests, the co-located NSK tests,
and with JPRT.
Additionally, the fix was tested by temporarily adding a
naked_short_sleep(50) to method initialize_mirror_fields() shortly after
it put a class on the fixup_module_field_list. The sleep was added in
order to enhance the likelihood of patch_javabase_entries() being called
before the class's mirror field got set. Without the fix, the
TestThreadDumpMonitorContent.java test and the test reported in
JDK-8183309 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8183309> reliably
got the reported SIGSEGVs. With the fix, the tests passed.
Thanks, Harold
