The serial benchmark in SPECjvm2008 crashes because of a missing C2 load barrier in java.io.ObjectStreamClass.writeNonProxy().

ObjectStreamClass.writeNonProxy() calls ObjectStreamClass.getSerialVersionUID(), which gets inlined. ObjectStreamClass.getSerialVersionUID() calls suid.longValue(), which also gets inlined and where suid is a java.lang.Long reference member of ObjectStreamClass. The load of suid is not followed by a load barrier.
