Summary: In C2 add software membar after load from Reference.referent field to prevent commoning of loads across safepoint since GC can change its value. In C1 always generate Reference.get() intrinsic.

Summary: A referent object that is only weakly reachable at the start of concurrent marking but is re-attached to the strongly reachable object graph during marking may not be marked as live. This can cause the reference object to be processed prematurely and leave dangling pointers to the referent object. Implement a read barrier for the java.lang.ref.Reference::referent field by intrinsifying the Reference.get() method, and intercepting accesses though JNI, reflection, and Unsafe, so that when a non-null referent object is read it is also logged in an SATB buffer.

Summary: C1 with profiling doesn't check whether the MDO has been really allocated, which can silently fail if the perm gen is full. The solution is to check if the allocation failed and bailout out of inlining or compilation.
