Description
==============================================================================
Unexpected Error
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internal Error at coalesce.cpp:298, pid=21640, tid=21651
assert(false) failed: attempted to spill a non-spillable item: 59: testN_mem_reg0, ireg = 13, spill_type: PhiInputSpillCopy

Do you want to debug the problem?

To debug, run 'gdb /proc/21640/exe 21640'; then switch to thread 21651 (0x0000000000005493)
Enter 'yes' to launch gdb automatically (PATH must include gdb)
Otherwise, press RETURN to abort...

test case is attached. Ran with:

java -XX:-TieredCompilation -XX:-BackgroundCompilation -XX:-UseOnStackReplacement -XX:CompileOnly=SubsumingLoads::test -XX:CompileCommand=quiet -XX:CompileCommand=dontinline,SubsumingLoads::not_inlined -Xmx1024m SubsumingLoads
Comments
Fix Request: I'm in the process of backporting this fix to 8u as one of our customers hits it. So it seems like a good candidate for a backport to 11u as well. The fix is fairly low risk as it detects a rare condition and rather than make the VM fail, it reattempts compilation with an optimization disabled. The fix was pushed to the current jdk development repo almost 2 months ago and no follow up issues were found. The fix itself includes a regression test. The patch applies cleanly.

ILW = Crash during compilation in register allocator (bailout in product builds), rare but reproducible with test, disable compilation = MMM = P3

Could be the same issue as JDK-8206345.
