Description
The fix for 8003421 moved protection_domain and signers out of InstanceKlass and into the JavaMirror but there's no SA code that knows how to get these things out of the mirror now.   There's a hprof dumper in the SA that dumps null for these fields in order to not break hprof format.

Also signers might be taken out of the VM entirely so you'd have to do something else with that later.
Comments
I don't think you should fix this unless there's a need for debugging signers and protection domain for sustaining.

ILW=MMH=P3. This is a regression in SA.
