Description
We've seen this with Shenandoah but is not shenandoah specific:

Comments
The bug also exists in 8u. The code was in hotspot/src/share/vm/c1/c1_LIRGenerator.cpp before reshuffling. Added "Affects Versions: 8".

Fix request This fixes the intermittent failures in code miscompiled by C1 when running with collectors that care about Reference.get loads (G1, Shenandoah, maybe ZGC). It is usually a dumb non-luck that register corruption does not lead to observable crashes. Patch applies semi-cleanly, because the non-patched line in the same block changed one argument from T_METADATA to T_OBJECT, compare these side by side: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8211231/8211231-12.patch http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8211231/8211231-11u.patch

Test cases that involve register allocation are usually hard to write. So I don't think a test case is doable.

ILW = H(crash in compiled code) L(rare) M(disable compilation) = P3 Any possible regression test case!?
