SOE (of the Java exception kind) is not specially handled right now. I think 
the same rule applies there: we can't unwind or return to native frames (at 
least not without some guidance from the user).

I've filed an issue here to capture some of the discussion:

I don't see a way to reliably handle async exceptions purely with `try/catch`. 
In the end, there's always a safepoint poll right before returning from a 
method where new exception can be installed. So, there's always a small chance 
present to observe a pending exception on VM side irrespective of how hard you 
try on Java side.

As an alternative solution, exception handling for upcalls can be handled by 
another upcall (into catch handler when pending exception is encountered). As a 
bonus, it allows to handle repeated exceptions. In the worst case, it would 
manifest as a hang (when async exceptions are continuously delivered). Still, 
some special handling is needed for stack overflow errors. (Not sure how those 
are handled now. Are they?)

My understanding is that if they materialize while we're executing the upcall 
Java code, if that code has a try/catch block, we will go there, rather than 
crash the VM.

In other words, IMHO the only problem with async exception is if they occur 
_after_ the Java user code has completed, because that will crash the Java 
adapter, this preventing it from returning to native call cleanly.

So, either we disable async exceptions during that phase (e.g. after user code 
has executed, but before we return back to native code), or we just punt and 
stop. Since this seems like a corner^3 case, and since there are also other 
issue with upcalls that can occur if other threads do not cooperate (e.g. an 
upcall can get stuck into an infinite safepoint if the VM exits while an async 
native thread runs the upcall), and given that obtaining a linker is a 
restricted operation anyway, I don't think we should bend over backwards to try 
to add 1% more safety to something that's unavoidably sharp anyways.

Okay, I see. I think I acted a little too hastily on this yesterday.  I'll 
revert the change that uses this blocking mechanism.

The stack more or less looks like this during an upcall:


| ---
|  |
| ---
| <1: user define try block with exception handler (maybe)> |
| ---
| <2: user code start> |
| ---
| <3: method handle impl frames 1> |
| ---
| <4: upcall wrapper class with fallback handler 1> |
| ---
| <5: method handle impl frames 2> |
| ---
| <6: upcallk stub with fallback handler 2> |
| <7: unknown native code>
| ---
|  |


I think there are several options to address async exceptions:
1. Do nothing special for async exceptions. i.e. if they happen anywhere 
between 1. and 6. they will up in one of the fallback handlers and the VM will 
be terminated.
2. Block async exceptions in all code up from 6.
3. Somehow only block async exceptions only between 6. and 1. 
I think that is possible by changing the API so that the user passes us a 
method handle to their fallback exception handler. We would need 2 methods for 
blocking and unblocking async exceptions from Java. Then we could disable async 
exceptions at the start of 6. enabled them at the start of the try block in 4. 
(around the call to user code), and disable them at the end of this try block. 
Then finally re-enable them at the end of 6. If an exception occurs in the try 
block in 4., delegate to the user-defined exception handler (but use the VM 
terminate strategy as a fallback for when another exception occurs). The other 
problem I see with that is that to make that fast enough (i.e. not incur a 
~1.5-2x cost on call overhead), we would need compiler intrinsics for the 
blocking/unblocking, and in the past we've been unable to define 'critical' 
sections of code like that in C2 (it's an unsolved problem at this point).

NoAsyncExceptionDeliveryMark is not for general use! There is no provision for 
blocking async exceptions when running user-defined Java code. 
NoAsyncExceptionDeliveryMark was purely for protecting "system Java code".

Is it possible for these upcalls to be nested? If yes, we could add a boolean 
to context to avoid unsetting the flag in those nested cases. And now that I 
think we should probably add that check in NoAsyncExceptionDeliveryMark too if 
we allow broader use of this flag. David added the NoAsyncExceptionDeliveryMark

Oh nice! I was just thinking that the only possible way out of this conundrum

If you want to avoid processing asynchronous exceptions during this upcall you 
could block them (check NoAsyncExceptionDeliveryMark in JavaThread::exit()). 
Seems you could set the flag in ProgrammableUpcallhandler::on_entry() and unset 
it back on ProgrammableUpcallhandler::on_exit(). While that flag is set any 
asynchronous exception in the handshake queue of this thread will be skipped 
from processing. Maybe we should add a public method in the JavaThread class, 
block_async_exceptions()/unblock_async_exceptions() so we hide the handshake 
implementation.

Discussed this with Maurizio as well. 

My understanding is as follows:
1. Async exceptions are installed into a thread's `pending_exception` field by 
handshake at a safepoint
2. From there they are "thrown" (I guess during the same safepoint?), in which 
case we either end up in a user-defined exception handler (higher up the 
stack), in our Java fallback exception handler (print stack trace and 
terminate), or in this fallback exception handler (print and terminate).
3. If we end up in this exception handler it means the async exception was 
installed somewhere outside of our Java exception handler and "thrown" from 
there. However, it also means that the Java code we were calling into completed 
abruptly.
4. We've previously established that we have no way of signalling to the native 
code that is calling us that something went wrong, and so the only safe option 
is to terminate, as to not leave the application in an inconsistent state.

As a consequence, I don't think we have much choice in the case of async 
exceptions if we get here. Silently clearing them seems like it will leave the 
program in an inconsistent state (since we unwound some frames), so we have to 
terminate I think.

(@dholmes-ora is my understanding of async exceptions in point 1. and 2. 
correct here?)

Done. Moved constructor logic into a `compute` method, and added a static 
helper that constructs a ComputeMoveOrder, calls `compute`, and then returns 
the moves.

@iwanowww Thanks for the review! I've addressed most comments already, but will 
have to think a bit on how to handle the asynchronous exceptions issue.

I've cleaned up the spaces and capitalization here a bit.

Good catch. Seems like a merge artifact maybe. Removing them seems to be fine.

I'll try migrating to `GrowableArray`

I went with `parse_register_array` (since it's also used for return registers)

Hmm, it doesn't look like having x64 specific header files is support by the 
CPU_HEADER macros. Will stick to the shared header file for x86_32 and x86_64 
for now.

We have an exception handler in Java as well, so this code is only a fail safe. 
But, I think in the case of asynchronous exceptions this might be problematic 
if the exception is discovered by the current thread outside of the Java 
exception handler, turned into a synchronous exception and then we get here and 
call `ProgrammableUpcallhandler::handle_uncaught_exception` and then crash. Or 
if the asynchronous exception is discovered in 
`ProgrammableUpcallHandler::on_exit` (where there is currently an assert for no 
exceptions).

I think you're right that, in both of those cases, if the exception is 
asynchronous, we should just ignore it.

Good points, I think we can just rename this class to `ComputeMoveOrder` at 
this point.

The call that is being processed here is `linkToNative`, and that call is not 
inlined, so reporting an inlining failure seems correct. We still go through 
the method handle trampoline stub which loads the actual target from the 
NativeEntryPoint (`jump_to_native_invoker` in methodHandles_x86.cpp).

It's potentially faster here to generate a runtime call to the underlying 
invoker/downcall stub if the NativeEntryPoint is constant (i.e. avoid the 
lookup through NEP in the MH trampoline), but I hadn't gotten to investigating 
that yet.

Some of it is discussed here: https://github.com/openjdk/panama-foreign/pull/617

Essentially, it is to avoid accidentally inheriting behavior from BufferBlob 
which we don't want. Also, BufferBlob currently expects a fixed-sized header 
(`sizeof(BufferBlob)`), while OptimizedEntryBlobs has fields, so we'd have to 
pass the real header size to the `BufferBlob` constructor, which is a bit messy.

It felt better to just cleanly break away from BufferBlob.

Ok. I think I used `char*` to try and avoid a potential strict-aliasing 
violation, but I don't think we compile with that turned on any ways.

Will change it to `address` (for x86 too)

Maybe use `address` instead of `char*`?

Time for a cleanup? `64 bit` vs `64bit`, `abi`, `Aarch64`.

src/hotspot/cpu/aarch64/macroAssembler_aarch64.cpp line 5547:

> 5545:   } else if (dst.first()->is_stack()) {

Obsolete? Remove?

Can you elaborate, please, how it is expected to work in presence of 
asynchronous exceptions? I'd expect to see a code which unconditionally clears 
pending exception with an assertion that verifies that the exception is of 
expected type.
