Hi,

I uploaded new webrev. Could review again?

This function (JvmtiEnvBase::get_stack_trace()) can be called to get own stack trace. For example, we can call GetStackTrace() for current thread at JVMTI event.
So I changed assert as below:

```
  820   assert(current_thread == java_thread ||
  821          SafepointSynchronize::is_at_safepoint() ||
  822          current_thread == java_thread->active_handshaker(),
  823          "call by myself / at safepoint / at handshake");
```


Thanks,

Yasumasa

There is one thing I don't like about it but it requires a change to the main Handshake logic to address - in JvmtiEnv::GetThreadListStackTraces you have to create a ThreadsListHandle to convert the jthread to a JavaThread, but then the Handshake::execute_direct creates another ThreadsListHandle internally. That's a waste. I will discuss with Robbin and file a RFE to have an overload of execute_direct that takes an existing TLH. Actually it's worse than that because we have another TLH in use at the entry point for the JVMTI functions, so I think there may be some scope for simplifying the use of TLH instances - future RFE.
