This change uses a claim token to allocate multi dimensional arrays rather than holding MultiArray_lock around metaspace allocation. We can't hold a mutex around metaspace allocation because it can create an OOM object and it can also call into JVMTI for a resource exhausted event. Also, we were creating mirrors and more metadata arrays while holding this lock. See the bug for more details and other ideas considered and rejected.
Tested with tier1-7. ------------- Commit messages: - Some more cleanups, and make token really recursive. - 8308745: ObjArrayKlass::allocate_objArray_klass may call into java while holding a lock Changes: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17660/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.org/?repo=jdk&pr=17660&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8308745 Stats: 156 lines in 10 files changed: 90 ins; 17 del; 49 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17660.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.org/jdk.git pull/17660/head:pull/17660 PR: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/17660
