Issue/Introduction

Using an installation of JBOSS EAP 7.2.6 Liferay Portal using Java OpenJDK 11.0.9+11 with garbage collector Z GC.

 

If the DX APM agent release 20.6 is active the portal crashes after some time

Console log shows the following

Cause

The hs_err_pid file shows

failure occurs when compiling an agent class

however the agent class is not the true cause - the issue is in the JVM compiler / Z GC option and the fact that it is an agent class compilation that fails is not significant

 

 

Resolution

 
Background research and found evidence of a few bugs reported causing JVM crashes during code compilation whilst Z GC is enabled.
 
Using the following JVM argument  -XX:-SplitIfBlocks prevented the crash
