Dean,

src/java.base/share/classes/java/security/AccessController.java:
+    /**
+     * Internal marker for hidden implementation frames.
+     */
+    /*non-public*/
+    @Target(ElementType.METHOD)
+    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
+    @interface Hidden {
+    }

You declare @Hidden, but then map it to _method_Hidden along with @Hidden from java.lang.invoke.LambdaForm.

What do you think about moving LambdaForm.Hidden to jdk.internal.vm.annotation instead and share among all usages?

Best regards,
Vladimir Ivanov

This change implements AccessController.doPrivileged in Java.  This gives a performance improvement while also being useful to Project Loom by removing the Java --> native --> Java transition.  One reason doPrivileged has historically been in native is because of the need to guarantee the cleanup of the privileged context when doPrivileged returns.  To do that in Java, the information that AccessController.getContext needs is pushed onto the Java stack as arguments to a method that getContext will recognize during its stack walk.  This allows us to remove the native privileged stack while guaranteeing that the privileged context goes away when the method returns.

Tested with tier1-tier3 hotspot and jdk tests and JCK api/java_security tests.  For the first few rounds of testing, I kept the old native privileged stack and compared the results of the old and new implementations for each getContext call, which did catch some early bugs.  The changes were also examined by internal security experts and run through additional internal security tests.

The improvement on this [1] doPrivileged microbenchmark is approximate 50x.

There is no attempt to optimize getContext() or security permission checks in this change, however, this is intended to be a first step towards other possible improvements, for example those proposed here [2].
