your patch doesn't work !

the array is still allocated as an classical array in the constructor.

cheers,

Hi,

please review the following patch for bug 8005873.

*Problem*
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8005873

The test creates multiple threads (~500) that repeatedly execute invokeExact on a method handle referencing a static method. The call to invokeExact is performed through an optimized inline cache (CompiledStaticCall) that points to the LambdaForm generated for the method handle. The IC is first set to interpreted code by CompiledStaticCall::set_to_interpreted(...) but soon updated to refer to the compiled version of the lambda form (-Xcomp).

Because tiered compilation is enabled, the VM decides to compile the LambdaForm at a different level and sets the old version to not-entrant. The next call through the IC therefore triggers a re-resolving of the call site finally performing a Java upcall to java.lang.invoke.MethodHandleNatives::linkMethod(...) (see call sequence [1]). A *new* LambdaForm is returned and CompiledStaticCall::set_to_interpreted(...) is executed again to update the IC. The assert is hit because the callee differs.

The problem is that there are multiple LambdaForms created for the same invokeExact instruction. Caching in the Java runtime code should guarantee that only one LambdaForm is created and reused. Instrumenting Invokers::invokeHandleForm(...) shows that almost all requests result in a cache miss and return a new LambdaForm.

This behaviour is caused by a race condition in Invokers::invokeHandleForm(...). Threads may initially see a cache miss when invoking MethodTypeForm::cachedLambdaForm(...), then create a new LambdaForm and call MethodTypeForm::setCachedLambdaForm(...) to update the cache without checking it again. In a high concurrency setting, this leads to multiple LambdaForms being created for the same invokeExact instruction because the cache entry is overwritten by multiple threads.

*Solution*
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anoll/8005873/webrev.00/

An AtomicReferenceArray is used to cache the LambdaForms and .get(...) and .compareAndSet(...) are used to retrieve and update the cache entries. This allows only one thread to set the LambdaForm that is then being used by all instances of the invokeExact.

*Testing*
- Failing test (vm/mlvm/meth/stress/jni/nativeAndMH)
- Nashorn + Octane
- JPRT

Many thanks to Christian Thalinger and Vladimir Ivanov!

Best,
Tobias
