> JDK-8364343 upgraded the virtual thread transition management to be 
> independent of JVMTI. We can update java_lang_Thread::async_get_stack_trace 
> to use it and remove the suspend + retry code from Thread.getStackTrace.
> 
> A summary of the changes:
> 
> - java_lang_Thread::async_get_stack_trace is changed to use the new handshake 
> op so it can be called to get the stack trace of a started thread in any state
> - Thread::getStackTrace is changed to use async_get_stack_trace for all cases
> - The SUSPENDED substate in VirtualThread is removed
> - JVM_CreateThreadSnapshot is changed to be usable when JVMTI is not compiled 
> in
> - ThreadSnapshotFactory::get_thread_snapshot is changed to not upcall to 
> StackTraceElement to complete the init of the stack trace
> 
> The changes mean that Thread::getStackTrace may be slower when sampling a 
> virtual thread in transition. This case should be rare, and it isn't really a 
> performance critical op anyway. I prototyped use a spin loop and an 
> increasing wait time in MountUnmountDisabler::disable_transition_for_one to 
> avoid the wait(10) but decided to leave it out for now. Future work may 
> examine this issue as there may be other cases (with JVMTI) that would 
> benefit from avoiding the wait.
> 
> A future PR might propose to change Thread.getStackTrace to use 
> ThreadSnapshot and allow java_lang_Thread::async_get_stack_trace be removed. 
> This requires more extensive changes to ThreadSnapshotFactory to reduce 
> overhead when only the stack trace is required.
> 
> Testing: tier1-5.  The changes has been already been tested in the loom repo 
> for a few months.
