This sounds like a question that could be answered by the folks on  
hotspot-compiler-...@openjdk.java.net.

G'Day dtrace-discuss,

I saw an opportunity to demo DTrace recently, but jstack() for the Oracle JVM 
keeps returning incomplete stacks. I've tried a number of different JDK 
versions from 6 to 8, and options including libdtrace_forceload.so. Anyone know 
of a JDK version or workaround that does jstack() reliably?

# dtrace -n 'profile-99 /execname == "java"/ { @[jstack(100, 8000)] = count(); 
}'

A flame graph based on this output is more than 50% stacks like this. It looks 
a lot like omit frame pointer optimization, but there is no 
-XX:-omit-frame-pointer option I can find. :-)

I can use other profilers, but wanted to give DTrace a shot at this. Thanks,

Brendan
