All Renaissance benchmarks can run fine on JDK17 with C1 only by passing -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1.

On JDK20, this leads to a StackOverflowError on several Spark benchmarks from Renaissance (like als or movie-lens).

Reproduces consistently on Linux or Mac using JDK 20.0.1+4

NOTE: JDK21 cannot be used since Apache Spark (used by this benchmark) isn't yet compatible with the latest JDK: https://github.com/renaissance-benchmarks/renaissance/issues/370

Renaissance benchmark suite: https://renaissance.dev/download

Command line:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1 -jar renaissance-0.14.1.jar -r 30 als

Output:

Using Spark's default log4j profile: org/apache/spark/log4j-defaults.properties
NOTE: 'als' benchmark uses Spark local executor with 12 (out of 12) threads.
