> **Background:**
>
> `ConstantPoolCache::walk_entries_for_initialization()` is called by `ConstantPoolCache::remove_unshareable_info()` to restore the CpCache to the state immediately after the class has been rewritten by the Rewriter (which happens during the class linking phase). In most part, this means the `ConstantPoolCacheEntry`'s need to be zeroed. However, the `_f2` fields of some of the entries are initialized to be non-zero by the Rewriter and must be preserved.
>
> The reason `walk_entries_for_initialization()` exists is that after `Rewriter::rewrite()` has finished, some information about what is stored inside the CpCache is discarded (e.g., `Rewriter::_invokedynamic_references_map`). As a result, we cannot easily determine which entries has a `_f2` field that need to be preserved. We must walk all the bytecodes in all the methods of this class to recompute this information.
>
> This is awkward and time consuming. It also needs to be updated if the `Rewriter` ever changes.
>
> Also, for future optimizations, we may need to pre-resolve a subset of the CpCache entries during CDS dump time. Trying to make that work alongside `walk_entries_for_initialization()` seems too complicated.
>
> **Fix:**
>
> Store a copy of the CpCache after rewritting. Use this to revert the CpCache's state inside `ConstantPoolCache::remove_unshareable_info()`.
