Hi, Please review the fix for JDK-8133070:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~xuelei/8133070/webrev.00/ In (Open)JDK 6, EC cipher suites get supported by Java. However, there is no default EC provider in JDK 6 at that time. In order to support third part's EC algorithm JCE provider dynamically, it is hard-coded to check the cipher suite availability dynamically for EC algorithms in SunJSSE provider. Here is an example update in CipherSuite.java for the checking: - static final boolean DYNAMIC_AVAILABILITY = false; + static final boolean DYNAMIC_AVAILABILITY = true; The dynamically checking impacts the performance significantly as: 1. the check of the availability is expensive as it involves crypto operations. 2. a cache is used to maintain the availability of bulk ciphers in order to mitigate the #1 performance impact. However, access and update to the cache need to be synchronized. 3. in order to support dynamically checking, the cache may be cleared if a particular cipher is not found or a new SSLContext is generated. As bring the performance impact of #1 back again. Later, AEAD algorithm is defined by Java. The same mechanism is used to support AEAD ciphers. Now, EC and GCM algorithms are supported in JDK crypto providers. The hard-coded checking can get improved. This fix updates: 1. remove the dynamically checking of cipher suite availability. 2. remove the cipher suite availability cache accordingly (need no synchronization accordingly) 3. other updates that impact by the availability checking. The performance improvement is tested with the following simple case. Run the following code 1000, 2000, 3000 times in single thread mode and measure the millisecond for each: --------- String[] cipherSuites = {"TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256"}; for (int i = 0; i < loops; i++) { // loops: 1000, 2000, 3000 SSLEngine engine = SSLContext.getDefault().createSSLEngine(); engine.getEnabledCipherSuites(); engine.getSupportedCipherSuites(); } --------- The milliseconds for each test case (less is better) look like: loops | old | fixed ---------+---------+---------- 1000 | 2736 | 735 ---------+---------+---------- 2000 | 3718 | 746 ---------+---------+---------- 3000 | 4750 | 765 ---------+---------+---------- This fix improves the performance. The existing regression testing get passed. No new regression test is planned as this is a performance enhancement fix. Thanks, Xuelei
