> Long time ago as part of JEP284: New HotSpot Build System this fix was applied to jdk9 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152666
> At that time it was decided to lower optimisation level for unsafe.cpp from O2 to O1 only for clang on Macosx.
> 
> I suppose it was done due to issues in Set/Get<Object> helper functions where too optimistic optimisations were eliminating some null pointer checks. it was probably a clang bug.
> That issue could be checked with test jdk/test/sun/misc/CopyMemory.java.
> 
> I believe that workaround (going from O2 to O1) produced this issue - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8234963 (Thread.getStackTrace is slow with clang).
> JDK-8234963 can only be seen on mac with libjvm compiled by clang.
> 
> Here I propose the patch which eliminates that workaround for clang 8+.

> I have tested clang versions 8/9/9.1/10, all of them showed good results:
> 1) CopyMemory test passes fine on 11/14/15.
> 2) jdk11/jdk14 passed tck. Regression testing were good as well. jdk15: no new failures in tck.
> 3) The testRandom "benchmark" from 8234963 shows great improvements on my machine, going down from ~200 seconds to ~150 seconds (the newer clang the better result). For comparision, gcc built libjvm for jdk11 shows ~130 seconds on my machine.
