I think it would not help that much. Note that when replacing VM_SetFramePop with a direct handshake
you could not just execute VM_EnterInterpOnlyMode as a nested vm operation [1]. So you would have to
change/replace VM_EnterInterpOnlyMode and I would have to adapt to these changes.
Also my first impression was that it won't be that easy from a synchronization point of view to
replace VM_SetFramePop with a direct handshake. E.g. VM_SetFramePop::doit() indirectly calls
JvmtiEventController::set_frame_pop(JvmtiEnvThreadState *ets, JvmtiFramePop fpop) where
JvmtiThreadState_lock is acquired with safepoint check, if not at safepoint. It's not directly clear
to me, how this has to be handled.
So it appears to me that it would be easier to push JDK-8242427 after this (JDK-8238585).

Would be interesting to see how you handled the issues above :)
Thanks, Richard.

Hi Richard,
I will send review request to replace VM_SetFramePop to handshake in early next week in JDK-8242427.
Does it help you? I think it gives you to remove workaround.
(The patch is available, but I want to see the result of PIT in this weekend whether JDK-8242425 works fine.)
Thanks,
Yasumasa
