Jan, is bug 1093573 a likely regressor?

> Jan, is bug 1093573 a likely regressor?

For this testcase it is, but the underlying problem is older. Very nasty and serious bug:

(1) We have an Ion IC stub that calls the exception handler (after it does a callWithABI that fails).
(2) HandleException calls EnsureExitFrame for each frame.
(3) HandleException triggers a GC.
(4) Due to (2), the GC does not mark the Ion IC stub code and it's freed.
(5) HandleException returns to garbage.

This might be responsible for some of our JIT top crashes, not sure.

I'm working on a patch that moves the call to the exception handler to the "exception tail" JitCode. That fixes the problem because this thing is never collected. It's also nicer because we generate less JIT code.
Keywords: sec-critical
Attached patch PatchSplinter Review
Moves the callWithABI to the shared exception tail stub as described in comment 3.

[Security approval request comment]
> How easily could an exploit be constructed based on the patch?
Not easy, problem is not obvious from the patch.

> Do comments in the patch, the check-in comment, or tests included in the patch paint a bulls-eye on the security problem?
No.

> Which older supported branches are affected by this flaw?
Assuming all branches.

> Do you have backports for the affected branches? If not, how different, hard to create, and risky will they be?
Should be easy to backport.

> How likely is this patch to cause regressions; how much testing does it need?
Unlikely; safe patch.
