Hi All,
I would like to ask for review of JDK-8009204
<http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8009204>
Description of the problem:
jstack() returns corrupted method signatures on Solaris. The issue can be
easily reproduce using the following DTrace script:
dtrace -x jstackstrsize=2048 -Z \
-n 'hotspot_jni$target::: /0/{}' \
-n 'syscall::write:entry /pid==$target/{jstack(1024)}' \
-c 'java -version'
With Java 6, the output is roughly:
java/io/FileOutputStream.writeBytes([BII)V
java/io/FileOutputStream.write([BII)V
java/io/BufferedOutputStream.flushBuffer()V
java/io/BufferedOutputStream.flush()V
java/io/PrintStream.write([BII)V
With Java 7 and Java 8, the output is roughly:
java/io/FileOutputStream.riteBytes
java/io/FileOutputStream.rite
java/io/BufferedOutputStream.lushBuffer
java/io/BufferedOutputStream.lush
java/io/PrintStream.rite
Evaluation:
The problem is caused by SymbolTable changes JDK-6990754. jhelper.d was never
updated with changes for CPSlot, so the low bit of the address of the Symbol is
set, which causes the off by 1-ness of the output. The klass name uses a
untagged constant pool entry, which is why it doesn't have the problem in the
output. There is a very similar bug JDK-7019165 reported against pstack output
and the proposed fix is basically backport of JDK-7019165 to jhelper.d.
Webrev:

I tested the fix using above D-script on latest JDK 8 and JDK 7u sources.
Thanks,
