Fix signedness error of max LOS size in C2 (backport #348)#350
Merged
Conversation
The `PlanConstraints::max_non_los_default_alloc_bytes` constant is a `usize` and can be `usize::MAX` for some plans including NoGC. The C2 code erroneously considered it signed and did signed comparison against object sizes. Consequently, when allocating dynamically sized arrays, the C2-generated code always goes to the slow path. It slows down certain workloads (such as hsqldb and luindex in DaCapo 2006) by 20% in total time. We fix this bug by always performing 64-bit unsigned comparison.
