the fix I would have liked to avoid - apparently hotspot internally does nested locking during class init, which can lead to deadlocks such as described in http://ternarysearch.blogspot.ru/2013/07/static-initialization-deadlock.html. Actually, it's not a regular deadlock since core dumps still list the threads as runnable, althouth it doesn't seem to be a livelock either. In any case, it can be simulated by nested locking and clinit execution, and it is such a serious defect that we want to be able to catch it. The general mechanism is to replace the disparate (but properly ordered) direct clinit calls of the generic ClassInfo.initializeClass() with a single sythetic method that includes all required locking (bottom up), clinit calls / class status change (top down), and unlocking (top down). We also need to add a synthetic insn to defer changing the class status of classes that don't have clinits(), or otherwise the correct lock/unlock order will not amount to anything if the hierarchy is entered through one of the clinit-absent classes. Now we get proper deadlocks if there are concurrent cyclic dependencies during class resolution. However, this can be such a state exploder that we certainly don't want this as the default behavior, especially since it probably is hotspot specific. Nested class init locking is therefore controlled by jvm.nested_init and respective jvm.nested_init.include/exclude options. Added a NestedInitTest to demonstrate use. Thanks to Lilia Abdulina for bringing this long forgotten issue up
In the wake of nested locks, there were a number of cases to fix that implicitly relied on absent clinits because clients were not properly checking for re-execution (most notably java.util.Exchanger). This mostly came in through MJIEnv.newObject/ElementInfo. We might turn ClinitRequired into a handled exception at some point, to catch such cases during compilation.
Added a UnknownJPFClass exception (in analogy to ClinitRequired), to make clients aware of failed class load attempts/reasons.
fixed Exchanger peer, which was not giving up the lock when timing out. This is an example of a lockfree wait op that can time out. Basically, ThreadInfo.isWaiting() needs to be complemented by a isWaitingOrTimedOut(), and ElementInfo.notifies0() has to be aware of it
fixed NPE when setting report.probe_interval in tests, which was missing that it had to create a stat object
