Comments
ILW => HMM => P2 Impact: High, assert or guarantee. Likelihood: Medium, happens every run for this test but not seen elsewhere. Workaround: Medium, turning of large pages avoids the issue.

Turns out this is reproducible on Linux as well, if turning on large pages. But this goes the other way around as well, turning of large pages on solaris is a workaround.

Same test failed on a guarantee when running a product build on solaris-x64. # # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (psYoungGen.cpp:649), pid=19978, tid=8 # guarantee((HeapWord*)from_end >= from_space()->top()) failed: from end moved into live data # # JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0-b114) (build 1.8.0-ea-b114) # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.0-b58-internal-201311061601.sjohanss.hsx-gc mixed mode solaris-amd64 compressed oops) # Core dump written.
