      Description

        We encountered a failure in testing:

        # Internal Error (/home/jenkins/workspace/nightly/jdk-jdk/src/hotspot/share/asm/register.hpp:141), pid=15470, tid=15611
        # assert(a != b && a != c && a != d && b != c && b != d && c != d) failed: registers must be different: a=0x0000000000000000, b=0x0000000000000000, c=0x000000000000000b, d=0x000000000000000a

        It seems to appear very rarely. The failure is that both newval and oldval are the same register (rax). I believe this could be problematic and lead to misbehavior because the retry-loop would reuse newval, but that has (potentially) been clobbered by the preceding failed CAS.

        I couldn't reproduce it locally, yet.

        I suspect a fix might be to declare newval as TEMP in shenandoah_x86_64.ad, this should preserve it across the instruction.
