JDK-6958952 - Infinite loop in PhaseGVN::optimize
Description
C2 compiler enters an infinite loop consuming all native heap and finally
crashes. This is reproducible with 6u13+ including 6u18b02. 6u01 does
not have this bug. The issue hence was introduced after 6u01 but before 6u14.

This bug is reproducible with a non-trivial test case from a customer.
When running a 6u18b02 fastdebug we get an assertion:

#  Internal Error (/BUILD_AREA/jdk6_18/hotspot/src/share/vm/opto/phaseX.cpp:1015), pid=23563, tid=1911593872
#  Error: assert(loop_count < K,"infinite loop in PhaseIterGVN::transform")
#
# JRE version: 6.0_18-b02
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (16.0-b09-fastdebug mixed mode linux-x86 )

I attach hotspot.log and hs_err_pid23563.log

PUBLIC COMMENTS Problem: There is ideal transformation ping-pong between AddPNode::Ideal() for raw pointer and CastX2PNode::Ideal() transformation which reconstruct raw AddP node again with the same input SubI(#0, Phi). Solution: Avoid transformation in CastX2PNode::Ideal() if input is SubI node and its in(1) is ConI(#0).
