[jdk11u-dev] RFR: 8251945: SIGSEGV in PackageEntry::purge_qualified_exports() [v5]

[Zhengyu Gu]

> I would like to fix the crash in openjdk 11u.
> 
> The crash is caused by racy installing new CLD in ClassLoaderDataGraph::add_to_graph().
> 
> The method first creates new ClassLoaderData, and in its constructor, it creates unnamed module entry and installs it in java_lang_Module oop.
> 
> Then add_to_graph() tries to install newly created CLD to java_lang_ClassLoader oop via CAS. If it loses race, then it deletes new CLD and returns existing one.
> 
> But at this point, java_lang_Module oop still points module entry that is already freed.
> 
> The fix I am purposing is to borrow ClassLoaderDataGraph_lock from JDK-8210155, but only uses it to prevent racing installing CLD and new CLD is still published via CAS to avoid needing additional patches.
> 
> Test:
>  - [x] hotspot_runtime
>  - [x] hotspot_gc
>  - [x] vmTestbase_vm_gc

  Change ClassLoaderDataGraph_lock to _safepoint_check_always to be consistent with later version
