Running the following code:

public class Test {

     static final MethodHandle MH_m;

     static {
         try {
             MH_m = lookup().findStatic(MyInterface.class, "m", MethodType.methodType(void.class));
         } catch (ReflectiveOperationException e) {
             throw new BootstrapMethodError(e);
         }
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
         for (int i = 0; i < 20_000; i++) {
             payload();
         }
     }

     static void payload() throws Throwable {
         MH_m.invokeExact();
     }

}

interface MyInterface {
     static void m() {}
} 

With `-Xbatch -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=3` fails with the assertion from the title in c1_GraphBuilder::profile_call.

The MethodHandle is significant here since known_holder in the assert is null with a regular call to a static interface method.
