During this time, the Java frames are not changing, so it seems like it doesn't matter if the freeze/copy happens immediately or after we unwind the native frames and enter the preempt stub. In fact, it seems like it could be more efficient to delay the freeze/copy, given the fact that the preemption can be canceled. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/21565#issuecomment-2439180320
