Please, review the fix for:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8025841
Open webrev:

Summary:
The fix contributed by Oleg Mazurov to improve profiling data quality.
It moves the "vtable stub" dynamic code notification to the right place.
I've already reviewed the fix, and it looks good to me.
Bug report description:
"JVMTI_EVENT_DYNAMIC_CODE_GENERATED for "vtable stub" gets scheduled
when
a new chunk of memory for subsequent vtable and itable stubs is
allocated.
That chunk is uninitialized (contains zeros or garbage) although
due to the fact
that the actual event delivery is deferred, at least one vtable
comes out right.
This event should describe an individual vtable/itable stub (base
address and size)
and only after it's been created (memory is actually populated with
code).
Where VM diagnostic messages about vtable/itable stubs are issued upon
-XX:+PrintAdapterHandlers appears exactly the right place for JVMTI
events as well.
Getting vtables/itables right is important in the context of
performance analysis as
that dynamically generated code may accumulate quite noticeable CPU
time
(especially itabes), sometimes larger than the actual Java methods
called."
Testing:
Oleg tested it in the Oracle Studio Performance Analyzer environment.
