Issue

jstack -F can be used in some circumstances to force a thread dump from a JVM in situations where the normal jstack invocation would fail, because the JVM is stalled.

However, in some Linux systems jstack -F fails with an exception similar to the following

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to deduce type of thread from address 0x00007fe4000ab000 (expected type JavaThread, CompilerThread, ServiceThread, JvmtiAgentThread, or SurrogateLockerThread)
