IJ07440: JVM CRASH IN JIT-COMPILED CODE DUE TO MISSING TYPE CHECK

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Message: Segmentation error.
  .
  Stack Trace:
  One method that is known to hit this problem is
  org/apache/webbeans/container/InjectionResolver.implResolveByTyp
  e()
  .
  

Local fix

• The problem can be avoided by passing
  -Xjit:disableLoopVersioner,disableLoopAliasRefiner,disableOpts={
  loopSpecializer} for Java 8, or
  -Xjit:disableLoopVersioner,disableOpts={loopSpecializer} for
  Java 7.1, 7.0, or 6.1. These options are likely to degrade
  performance, but they can be limited to problematic methods.
  

Problem summary

• The JIT compiler can hoist loads from memory out of a loop. Such
  a load may require a dynamic type check to establish that it is
  safe to perform. In certain cases the compiler could omit a
  necessary type check, producing output code that is not type
  safe. This problem is more likely to occur when running with
  -Xtune:virtualized.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JIT compiler has been modified to generate the necessary
  type checks in these cases.
