Refer PMR:45143,227,000 for more details | | Cause | Jit failure within the method readStringOrIndirection it's cause was with the Server JIT of 131_05. | | Solution | The situation was not resolved by the signal handler. The problem has arisen through a JIT failure as the location of the problem is JITted code and an hs_err file has been thrown. Note, this file
correctly attributes the event as a signal 11.
The problem has exercised a JIT fault. Unfortunately, the pstack has little more information to
provide in context of this failure, although it does identify the fault occurred within the method readStringOrIndirection() - so no need for obtaining PrintCompilation either.
There were a number of JIT issues being experienced with the Server JIT through 131_05 until 131_08 although I believe we have gained a fair degree of stability with 131_09 and 131_10 which are technically almost identical. I understand the customer has experienced this failure only once so far: its cause was with the Server JIT of 131_05.
Given the expressed reluctance by the customer to consider use of Client JIT or set further diagnostic options, I am unclear whether the customer wishes to pursue this issue currently. A brief review of
their patches suggests they are reasonably current. Should this problem prove deterministic and cause trouble for their environment the remedy would be to adopt a more current JDK in the first instance, and nothing less than 131_09 is my recommendation.
If this is a new JIT fault (and I have little information to determine that currently) then we would have to pursue this with the current JDK 131_10.
Options:- Upgrade to latest JDK
- Consider use of Client JIT or set further diagnostic options.
