The test that I wrote for Virtual Thread support (see [JDK-8336845](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8336845)) triggers various crashes even without Virtual Threads. The problem is that null fields in scalarized returns are not zeroed which makes the GC very unhappy. This affects both x86 as well as AArch64. I added a targeted regression test for this scenario.
I then noticed that the code that handles oop fields in scalarized returns at safepoints does not correctly handle the case when a value object is returned both in scalarized form **and** as oop: https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/blob/b2e518b7cf85527b90f34ba63bf5a1b775430cd0/src/hotspot/share/runtime/safepoint.cpp#L793-L803 I fixed this as well, see changes in `InlineKlass::returned_inline_klass`. While testing this fix, I found more issues on AArch64. After debugging for a few days straight, I found multiple issues and filed [JDK-8365996](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8365996) as a follow-up. For now, I disabled the test on AArch64.
