Hi,

Testing found a bug in the original webrev. Namely, when clearing out a pending exception and returning null in the JVMCI ..._or_null stubs, the JavaThread::_vm_result field was not being set to NULL. I've addressed this in v2 of the webrev:

Relative diff for bug fix:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-// Manages a scope in which a failed heap allocation will throw an exception.
-// The pending exception is cleared when leaving the scope.
+// Manages a scope for a JVMCI runtime call that attempts a heap allocation.
+// If there is a pending exception upon closing the scope and the runtime
+// call is of the variety where allocation failure returns NULL without an
+// exception, the following action is taken:
+//   1. The pending exception is cleared
+//   2. NULL is written to JavaThread::_vm_result
+//   3. Checks that an OutOfMemoryError is Universe::out_of_memory_error_retry().

I also took the opportunity to factor out negative array length checking:

>>>>>> A major design point of Graal is to treat allocations as non-side effecting to give more freedom to the optimizer by reducing the number of distinct FrameStates that need to be managed. When failing an allocation, Graal will deoptimize to the last side effecting instruction before the allocation. This mean the VM code for heap allocation will potentially be executed twice, once from Graal compiled code and then again in the interpreter. While this is perfectly fine according to the JVM specification, it can cause confusing behavior for JVMTI based tools. They will receive 2 ResourceExhausted events for a single allocation. Furthermore, the first ResourceExhausted event (on the Graal allocation slow path) might denote a bytecode instruction that performs no allocation, making it hard to debug the memory failure.

>>>>>> Instead, the proposed solution introduces a new _in_retryable_allocation thread-local. This way, only the entry points and allocation routines that raise an exception need to be modified. Failure is communicated back to the new entry points by throwing a special pre-allocated OOME object (i.e., Universe::out_of_memory_error_retry()) which must not propagate back to Java code. Use of this object is not strictly necessary; it is introduced to highlight/document the special allocation mode.
