Error description

  • Error Message: A SIGSEGV/GPF is raised by the Java JIT run-time
    library code that manages code caches. This crash only occurs if
    the JVM is running on a 64-bit x86-based processor.
    .
    Stack Trace: TR_MCCCodeCache::replaceTrampoline
    TR_MCCManager::replaceTrampoline
    mcc_replaceTrampoline

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • On x86-64, if a JIT-compiled method calls an interpreted method,
    the JIT compiler generates a special data structure in the
    current code cache. If another code cache becomes current before
    the compilation has completed, the data structure in the
    original current code cache becomes obsolete, and future
    searches for this data structure in the current code cache will
    fail, which will cause the JVM to crash.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    7.0.0 SR3
    6.0.1 SR4
    5.0.0 SR15
    .
    The JIT compiler has been modified to re-reserve space for a new
    data structure for the interpreter dispatch if it detects that
    the current code cache has been switched.
    

Temporary fix

  • N/A
