Seen this in many configurations in current testing:

$ build/linux-x86_64-server-fastdebug/images/jdk/bin/java -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -Xmx2g -XX:+UseLargePages -XX:LargePageSizeInBytes=1g -XX:+UseParallelGC

Bisection points to JDK-8272807.

I believe this is due to LargePages allocation failure. The new pretouching code still rounds down to still-large page size, which touches memory out of heap bounds. This looks to be a problem with Parallel GC (and maybe others), not G1.

See, adding this assert:

    for ( ; true; cur += page_size) {
      assert(cur >= start, "sanity: " PTR_FORMAT " in " PTR_FORMAT " ... " PTR_FORMAT, p2i(cur), p2i(start), p2i(end));
      Atomic::add(reinterpret_cast<int*>(cur), 0, memory_order_relaxed);
      if (cur >= last) break;
    }

...crashes with:

# Internal Error (/home/shade/trunks/jdk/src/hotspot/share/runtime/os.cpp:1766), pid=4062942, tid=4062944
