Stress testing of the AsyncGetCallTrace() interface has exposed an
intermittent guarantee failure:

# guarantee(get_thread() == thread, "must be the same thread, quickly")
# Error ID : src/share/vm/runtime/threadLocalStorage.cp, 66

The AsyncGetCallTrace() specific portion of the failure is tracked by
the following bug id:

4822846 4/4 AsyncGetCallTrace: guarantee(get_thread() == thread, "must be the
            same thread...

This same guarantee failure can be triggered by calling JNI GetEnv()
and that failure mode is tracked by this bug.

When the WatcherThread exits, the ThreadLocalStorage reference for
exiting WatcherThread is set to NULL. However, a JNI GetEnv() call
causes the cached thread info to be refreshed and we fail the guarantee.
I don't have a java_g cmd stack trace for this crash.

The failure reproduces with a less informative message with the java cmd:

# Error ID: 5448524541442C4F43414C33544F524147450E4350500042

The ErrorID maps to: threadLocalStorage.cpp, 66

Here is a snippet of the stack trace for the java cmd crash:

I've attached a complete stack trace for a java crash with JDK1.4.1
and the attached test program (PepTest run) as threads.log.18. Here
is part of the stack trace for the main thread which was exiting:

Some additional variations on the race have shown up during Java2Demo
stress testing. complete stack traces are attached

JNI GetEnv() calls src/os/solaris/vm/thread_solaris.inline.hpp:
ThreadLocalStorage::thread(). If the thread is not in the cache, it
calls ThreadLocalStorage::get_thread_via_cache_slowly() which calls
ThreadLocalStorage::get_thread_slow(). The thread value we get back
fails the guarantee() call.

Here is a snippet of the stack trace:

The complete stack trace is attached as threads.log.65. For the above
guarantee failure, the message usually fails to print. I have seen
SIGBUS, SIGILL and SIGSEGV during the print attempt.

In this example, JNI GetEnv() gets SIGILL. Here is a snippet of the
stack trace:

In this example, we receive the SIGPROF signal while we are executing
