JDK-8007037 - JSR 292: the VM_RedefineClasses::append_entry() should do cross-checks with indy operands
Description
The RedefineClasses merges constant pools in the VM_RedefineClasses::merge_constant_pools().
If an entry in new version of the class does not match an entry in the old version, it is appended
by the call to the append_entry() function.
This function must also support the invokedynamic kinds of entries:
  JVM_CONSTANT_MethodType
  JVM_CONSTANT_MethodHandle
  JVM_CONSTANT_InvokeDynamic
Comments
7u60-critical-request justification: This bug fix is better to be in the release because it is a part of the JSR-292 support in the JVMTI HotSwap API (includes RedefineClasses, RetransformClasses and PopFrame). This bug is one of 12 bug fixes that depend on each other and must be integrated in the order: https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-7194607 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8005128 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8006542 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8006546 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8006731 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8008511 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8007037 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8014288 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8013945 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8014052 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-7187554 https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-8023004 All the fixes above have been already integrated into the JDK 8 and tested in the hotspot-rt nightly for several months. Risk: low The fixes touch the JVMTI HotSwap API that includes RedefineClasses, RetransformClasses and PopFrame. The risk is only to introduce regressions in this part of the JVMTI implementation. This impacts only the debugging and profiling tools that use the JVMTI HotSwap feature. There are very small chances for regressions to sneak into the class file constant pool processing and method handles implementation. Webrevs and reviewers: The 7u60 webrevs location is: http://javaweb.sfbay.sun.com/java/svc/ss45998/webrevs/2013/hotspot/7u_port/ The fixes above were already passed the review process before integration into JDK 8. The reviewers were: twisti, jrose, coleenp, dholmes, etc. The 7u60 edition of fixes must be reviewed at least by jrose and twisti. Level of effort: All fixes need a secondary review phase after rebase from jdk8 to 7u60 repository. Testing coverage: The folllowing test suites must be run to ensure correctness of the fixes: JTREG tests: com/sun/jdi, java/lang/instrument NSK tests: vm.mlvm.testlist, nsk.jvmti.testlist, nsk.jdi.testlist, nsk.jdwp.testlist Result of not integrating: The users will not be able to use HotSwap technology for debuging and profiling Java code that depends on the JSR-292 implementation. In that case the integration of these fixes will have to be requested/escalated in 7 updates by the tool vendors and/or customers.
