The test fails with a VirtualMachineError during VM startup because a code cache size of 3 MB is not enough to store the c2i/i2c adapters:

This also affects compiler/profiling/spectrapredefineclass/Launcher.java. Tests were added with JDK-8040237, I don't see why such a small code cache would be required. Similar problems showed up before (JDK-8152456) but were not fixed.

The only other test that runs with such a small code cache size is SmallCodeCacheStartup and there we expect VirtualMachineErrors to happen and ignore them. The test should use a larger code cache.
