StackWalker::getInstance is currently specified to check for StackFramePermission("retainClassReference“) due to an early review feedback . Given it has only one target, it’s overkill to define a specific permission type for stack walking use. This patch proposes to replace the StackWalker permission check with RuntimePermission("getStackWalkerWithClassReference”) and remove StackFramePermission class.
