Hi Ioi,

We seem to have lost core-libs-dev so I added them back.

A couple of minor follow ups.

Just the delta from the previous round of review:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iklam/8046070-cds-cleanup-v3_delta_from_v2/

JDK changes:

URLClassLoader.java:

belong on definePackageInternal, not defineClass ??
Yes, this is a little confusing since the comment is lacking context ... I will try to reword it.

hotspot changes:

hotspot/src/share/vm/classfile/classLoader.cpp

The scoping of the ResourceMark doesn't look right:

 592   // Iterate over class path entries
 593   for (int start = 0; start < len; start = end) {
594 while (class_path[end] && class_path[end] != os::path_separator()[0]) {
 595       end++;
 596     }
 597     EXCEPTION_MARK;
 598     ResourceMark rm(THREAD);
 599     char* path = NEW_RESOURCE_ARRAY(char, end-start+1);
 600     strncpy(path, &class_path[start], end-start);
 601     path[end-start] = '\0';
 602     update_class_path_entry_list(path, false);
 603 #if INCLUDE_CDS
 604     if (DumpSharedSpaces) {
 605       check_shared_classpath(path);
 606     }
 607 #endif
 608     while (class_path[end] == os::path_separator()[0]) {
 609       end++;
 610     }
 611   }

Doesn't the RESOURCE_ARRAY need to be freed within the ResourceMark block?

I want the path to be freed after each iteration of the "for" loop. Is this the right way to do it? I though the path will be freed once "rm" falls out of scope, which happens after each iteration of the "for" loop is finished.

src/share/vm/runtime/arguments.cpp

3340 // This causes problems with CDS, which requires that all directories specified in the classpath
3341 // must be empty.

Should that be "must not be empty"? Or did you mean directory names?

As mentioned by Jiangli, we want the directory to be empty, so no classes will be loaded from them at run-time.

A little history:

CDS supports only loading classes from JAR files. This way, we can check if a JAR file has been modified using its timestamp and size. If the JAR file has been modified, the JVM will declare the CDS archive out of date and refuse to use it. This way, we can ensure that the set of loadable classes for our ClassLoader will not change between dump-time and run-time.

Directories are more problematic than JAR files -- there's no easy way to check if a class file has been added or deleted (unless you do an expensive directory scan). So since JDK 1.5 we have forbidden the use of non-empty directories for CDS.

Empty directories have been allowed since JDK 1.5, probably because the development JDK builds includes $JAVA_HOME/somewhere/classes in its bootclasspath. We are just carrying this vestige forward, although I am thinking of filing a bug to get rid of it.

src/share/vm/runtime/javaCalls.cpp

+     // may cause undesriable side-effect in the class metadata.

Typo: undesriable; also side-effects

Fixed.

Hi Folks,

Please review the following clean up and refactoring of the CDS code,
for JDK9

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~iklam/8046070-cds-cleanup-v2/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8046070

Summary of fix:

    Clean up and refactor the Class Data Sharing (CDS) code, including:

    + Improve archive integrity checking
    + Support bytecode verification during archive dumping time
    + Allow the user to configure the CDS class list and archive file.
    + Allow future extension of the CDS class loading mechanism.

Tests:

    JPRT
    UTE (vm.runtime.testlist, vm.quick.testlist,
vm.parallel_class_loading.testlist)
    Various adhoc SQE tests on Aurora
    JCK

Thanks
- Ioi
