Hi all,
Please review this implementation of nmethod barrier for x86_32 platforms.
x86_32 implementation mirrors x86_64's. The only difference is where it
reads nmethod disarmed value.
Unlike 64-bits, 32-bits platform does not have a dedicated register for
current thread. So that it is cheaper to read disarmed value from global
location than from per-thread GC data.
Currently, only Shenandoah GC uses the implementation for its concurrent
class unloading. This implementation, along with Shenandoah concurrent
class unloading, has been baked in shenandoah/jdk repo for some time
now, they are ready for integration.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8230765
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~zgu/JDK-8230765/webrev.01/
Test:
hotspot_gc with x86_64 and x86_32 JVM on Linux
Submit test.
Thanks,
-Zhengyu
