8233913: Remove implicit conversion from Method* to methodHandle Summary: Fix call sites to use existing THREAD local or pass down THREAD local for shallower callsites. Make linkResolver methods return Method* for caller to handleize if needed. Reviewed-by: iklam, thartmann, hseigel

// The dictionary in each ClassLoaderData stores all loaded classes, either
// initiatied by its class loader or defined by its class loader:
//
//   class loader -> ClassLoaderData -> [class, protection domain set]
//
// Classes are loaded lazily. The default VM class loader is
// represented as NULL.

// The underlying data structure is an open hash table (Dictionary) per
// ClassLoaderData with a fixed number of buckets. During loading the
// class loader object is locked, (for the VM loader a private lock object is used).
// The global SystemDictionary_lock is held for all additions into the ClassLoaderData
// dictionaries.  TODO: fix lock granularity so that class loading can
// be done concurrently, but only by different loaders.
//
// During loading a placeholder (name, loader) is temporarily placed in
// a side data structure, and is used to detect ClassCircularityErrors
// and to perform verification during GC.  A GC can occur in the midst
// of class loading, as we call out to Java, have to take locks, etc.
//
// When class loading is finished, a new entry is added to the dictionary
// of the class loader and the placeholder is removed. Note that the protection
// domain field of the dictionary entry has not yet been filled in when
// the "real" dictionary entry is created.
//
// Clients of this class who are interested in finding if a class has
// been completely loaded -- not classes in the process of being loaded --
// can read the dictionary unlocked. This is safe because
//    - entries are only deleted at safepoints
//    - readers cannot come to a safepoint while actively examining
//         an entry  (an entry cannot be deleted from under a reader)
//    - entries must be fully formed before they are available to concurrent
//         readers (we must ensure write ordering)
//
// Note that placeholders are deleted at any time, as they are removed
// when a class is completely loaded. Therefore, readers as well as writers
// of placeholders must hold the SystemDictionary_lock.

// Certain classes, such as java.lang.Object and java.lang.String,
// are "well-known", in the sense that no class loader is allowed
// to provide a different definition.
//
// Each well-known class has a short klass name (like object_klass),
// and a vmSymbol name (like java_lang_Object).
//
// The order of these definitions is significant: the classes are
// resolved during early VM start-up by resolve_well_known_classes
// in this order. Changing the order may require careful restructuring
// of the VM start-up sequence.
