Hi Coleen,

Is it ok to end up missing some CompiledMethodLoad events? The spec says:

"Sent when a method is compiled and loaded into memory by the VM. If it is unloaded, the CompiledMethodUnload event is sent. If it is moved, the CompiledMethodUnload event is sent, followed by a new CompiledMethodLoad event. Note that a single method may have multiple compiled forms, and that this event will be sent for each form. "

So a method was still "compiled and loaded into memory", right? We just didn't get the event out before it was too late. Is the CompiledMethodUnload still sent?

Yes, the CompiledMethodUnload event would be sent for this.

My first version of my change reported the event without the extra information (inlining and some code blob address location maps).  Maybe that would be better.   Here it is and tested successfully with the testcase that crashed.

    No comments.

src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmtiExport.cpp
    L2132:   // It's not safe to look at metadata for unloaded methods.
    L2133:   if (nm->method() == NULL) {
    L2134:     return NULL;
        nit - The comment is about why we're returning NULL early so
        perhaps the comment should be inside the if-statement (between
        L2133 and L2134).

        In the previous version (01) you checked (!nm->is_alive()) in a
        different place. That function is defined:

          bool  is_alive() const { return _state < unloaded; }

        And states like unloaded are defined like this:

  enum { not_installed = -1, // in construction, only the owner doing the construction is
                             // allowed to advance state
         in_use        = 0,  // executable nmethod
         not_used      = 1,  // not entrant, but revivable
         not_entrant   = 2,  // marked for deoptimization but activations may still exist,                              // will be transformed to zombie when all activations are gone          unloaded      = 3,  // there should be no activations, should not be called, will be                              // transformed to zombie by the sweeper, when not "locked in vm".          zombie        = 4   // no activations exist, nmethod is ready for purge
  };

        so by switching to (nm->method() == NULL) you are going more
        directly to whether there is useful data available, but it
        might be racier. I'm not sure at which state nm->method()
        starts to return NULL. I'm also not sure if nm->method() can
        return NULL for any of the earlier states, e.g., not_used.

        I agree with your earlier comment that nm->is_alive() seems
        safer. Your call on which to use.

Thumbs up. My only non-theory comment is a nit so I don't need to
see a new webrev.

The more I look at this code, the more problems I see. get_and_cache_jmethod_id() will send back a jmethodID from when the method was live.  But like the class unloading event, a user cannot trust that the Method* in the jmethodID points to anything valid.

So the spec for CompiledMethodLoad event should say for the method, like the CompiledMethodUnload event: Compiled method being unloaded. For identification of the compiled method only -- the class may be unloaded and therefore the method should not be used as an argument to further JNI or JVMTI functions.

Or we don't send the event like 01.  Either one doesn't crash.

Thanks,
Coleen


thanks,

Chris
