Issue Description
JDK-8358535

Performance Regression in java.lang.ClassValue::get


JDK-8351996 updated ClassValue in JDK 25 to make it more robust in various threading conditions. Unfortunately, this update caused ClassValue.get to run more slowly after a call to ClassValue.remove. Most applications do not use ClassValue directly, but libraries which call both ClassValue.get and remove may be affected by the slowdown. An example of a library affected by the slowdown is the standard library in Scala 2.12. The slowdown is fixed in in JDK-8358535.
