I think that deserves another seperate PR after this one? I see the robot is trying to link backporting PRs with the original issue. So it might not be a good idea to put serveral seperate fixes together into one backporting PR.

But the following two changes included in this PR are kind of special as they are needed for a successfull build/bootcycle:
  8282306: os::is_first_C_frame(frame*) crashes on invalid link access
  8282477: vmassert(_last_Java_pc == NULL, "already walkable"); fails with async profiler
