Summary: Do not install async exceptions at_safepoint for each bytecode.

I'm still not certain that we have to go this far to solve this problem, but it does sound like a relatively simple solution provided there are no unintended consequences.

See CR for a lot more details.  This change calls a new InterpreterRuntime::at_safepoint_async_safe() which installs the async exception in the interpreter at backward branches and returns.  This uses safepoint polling code in the interpreter for each platform.  These changes (cross) compile on platforms that Oracle doesn't support but I don't know if they work.

I'm not convinced the platform specific changes are necessary, because calls to the runtime from many bytecodes will install the async exception, so it's essentially installed "enough" for this deprecated feature.  I tested the changes with *and* without the platform specific changes with no failure, which included the jdb, jdi and jvmti serviceability tests.

I don't understand what you mean here. If the whole basis of this fix is "don't install async exceptions other than at backward branches and returns" then how is that implemented without the changes in the interpreter code?

If this can be fixed just by adjusting the actual monitor code then I would much prefer that. It took me a while to get my head around the dispatch changes in interpreter code and even then I don't see how those changes only impact backward branches and returns ??


This change also makes InterpreterRuntime::monitorexit a JRT_LEAF bytecode. The code to check for exceptions is outside the runtime call. I ran the JCK vm and lang tests on this change with no failure.

Tested with tier1-6.

./cpu/x86/interp_masm_x86.cpp

It took me a long time to figure out how the new logic worked compared to the old logic. Even then I'm unclear about the effective recursive dispatch path: dispatch_base(generate_poll=true) -> dispatch_via -> dispatch_base(generate_poll=false) - does it work okay with VerifyActivationFrameSize? It seems a rather convoluted way to effectively just execute:

 858   lea(rscratch1, ExternalAddress((address)table));
 859   jmp(Address(rscratch1, rbx, Address::times_8));

How were you able to drop this code:

791   if (elem == NULL || h_obj()->is_unlocked()) {
792     THROW(vmSymbols::java_lang_IllegalMonitorStateException());
793   }

?
 and this:

798 #ifdef ASSERT
799   thread->last_frame().interpreter_frame_verify_monitor(elem);
800 #endif

?
