SUGGESTED FIX interfaceSupport.hpp: // Another special case for nmethod_entry_point so the nmethod that the // interpreter is about to branch to doesn't get flushed before as we // branch to it's interpreter_entry_point. Skip stress testing here too. + // Also we don't allow async exceptions because it is just too painful. #define IRT_ENTRY_FOR_NMETHOD(result_type, header) result_type header { nmethodLocker _nmlock(nm); ! ThreadInVMfromJavaNoAsyncException __tiv(thread); __ENTRY(result_type, header, thread) #define IRT_END }

EVALUATION This is caused by posting an async exception during the interpreter runtime entry point: InterpreterRuntime::nmethod_entry_point(). This is an especially troublsome entry point because we look to be be called from the interpreter because of the return pc but the frame can be a call_stub, c2i, or interpreter frame. If it is a call_stub when the async exception is installed we will unwind the frame improperly and corrupt the SP. ###@###.### 2004-06-03
