> The recent patch #23866 makes calling `ClassValue::remove()` from 
> `ClassValue::computeValue()` end up in infinite loops while fixing the stale 
> value risk from the method.
> 
> The proposed fix is to preserve the stale value risk fix, and update the 
> remove-from-compute behavior from the original designated no-op behavior to 
> throwing an exception, as the original behavior conflicts with the stale 
> value fix.
> 
> The implementation track the owner thread in promises (accessed in locked 
> section); as a result, we can fail-fast on recursive removals from 
> `computeValue`. I did not choose to use `ThreadTracker` as it is designed for 
> single tracker and multiple threads, while this case here sees often just one 
> thread, and the threads outlive the promise objects.
> 
> Also updated the API specs for `remove` to more concisely describe the memory 
> effects. Please review the associated CSR as well.

 - Major typo
 - Use identity of thread, some optimizations for single thread case
 - Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/openjdk/jdk into 
fix/classvalue-compute-remove
 - Track threads on the promise for cheap reentrancy checks
 - 8351996: Alternative way to ensure no stale values for ClassValue::remove
