RFR(S) 8238585: Use handshake for JvmtiEventControllerPrivate::enter_interp_only_mode() and don't make compiled methods on stack not_entrant

Hi Vladimir and Serguei,

thanks for looking at the change!

The enhancement was tested running the JCK and JTREG tests which include many JVMTI, JDI and JDWP tests.

To see if the tests cover this part of the JVMTI implementation I had removed the deoptimization of
compiled frames on stack. I found that e.g. the following test covers this:

  vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/events/EM02/em02t012

The test

  vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/hotswap/HS202/hs202t002/hs202t002.java

triggers the guarantee

 238 void JvmtiThreadState::invalidate_cur_stack_depth() {
 239   guarantee(SafepointSynchronize::is_at_safepoint() ||
 240     (JavaThread *)Thread::current() == get_thread(),
 241     "must be current thread or at safepoint");
 242 
 243   _cur_stack_depth = UNKNOWN_STACK_DEPTH;
 244 }
 245 

because with the enhancement invalidate_cur_stack_depth() gets called by the VMThread executing the
new handshake. So this is covered as well.

Thanks again for reviewing.

Do I need more reviews or are your reviews enough to push the enhancement?

Best regards,
Richard.

Hi Richard,

It looks good to me.
I can't comment on compiled methods non-entrancy.

What exact tests do you run to verify the fix?

Thanks,
Serguei
