we have seen several crashes on several platforms after this change was pushed.

This backport uses a different JfrStackFrame constructor (which was probably unused before):
JfrStackFrame::JfrStackFrame(const traceid& id, int bci, int type, int lineno) :
  _method(NULL), _methodid(id), _line(lineno), _bci(bci), _type(type) {}

It sets _method to NULL!

Should probably be:
JfrStackFrame::JfrStackFrame(const traceid& id, int bci, int type, int lineno, const Method* method) :
  _method(method), _methodid(id), _line(lineno), _bci(bci), _type(type) {}

and:
_frames[count] = JfrStackFrame(mid, bci, type, lineno, method);
