Error description

  • Error Message: JVM crashes with segmentation error
    vmState=0x0005ff05 on x86 platforms
    .
    Stack Trace: TR_J9VM::getResolvedVirtualMethod
    TR_ResolvedJ9Method::getResolvedVirtualMethod
    CollectImplementors::visitSubclass

    TR_X86TreeEvaluator::performCall
    .
    This problem only occurs on systems using the x86 architecture.
    

Local fix

  • The problem can be avoided with the Java option
    -Xjit:disableInvariantArgumentPreexistence
    Note that this may affect performance.
    

Problem summary

  • During a method compilation, if new classes are loaded during
    the compilation process, the JIT compiler can crash because it
    will receive inconsistent answers from the query asking if a
    virtual method is overriden.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The JIT compiler has been updated to handle the inconsistency
    caused by classes loading during compilation process.
    .
