are disabled if JVMCI compiler is used (JDK-8218025
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8218025>) The JVMTI
|can_pop_frame| and |can_force_early_return| capabilities are

the corresponding functionality (|PopFrame| and
|ForceEarlyReturnXXX| functions) is not available to JVMTI
agents. This issue is being fixed via JDK-8218885
