Current CompileTask:
C2:    403    2             compiler.c2.TestRemoveMemBarPrecEdge::test (24 bytes)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
java -XX:-TieredCompilation compiler.c2.TestRemoveMemBarPrecEdge 

The fastdebug build produces this error:
#  Internal Error (/scratch/jenkins/workspace/8-2-build-linux-x64-sans-NAS/jdk8u401/683/hotspot/src/share/vm/opto/compile.cpp:1301), pid=761334, tid=0x00007f03213a6700
#  assert(tn->in(0) != NULL) failed: must have live top node

The production build produces SIGSEGV :

#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f57d52d2a11, pid=762090, tid=0x00007f57c6748700
