Hi Yasumasa,
Okay, thanks.
Then I'm okay to keep the GetSingleStackTraceClosure.

I'm not sure the function 'is_same_thread() is needed.
Why do not use the JNI IsSameObject instead?
It seems to be a typo at L132 and L137.
You, probably. did not want to print the same information
for stack_info_1[i].frame_buffer[j].XXX twice.
The code at lines 112-142 is not readable.
I'd suggest to make a couple of refactoring steps.
First step to simplify this a little bit would be with
some renaming and getting rid of indexes:
71 char err_msg[EXCEPTION_MSG_LEN] = {0};
...
112 /* Iterate all jvmtiStackInfo to check */
113 for (i = 0; i < num_threads, *exception_msg !=
'\0'; i++) {
jvmtiStackInfo *si1 = stack_info_1[i];
jvmtiStackInfo *si2 = stack_info_2[i];
114 if (!IsSameObject(env, si1.thread, si2.thread))
{ /* jvmtiStackInfo::thread */
115 snprintf(err_msg, sizeof(err_msg),
116 "thread[%d] is different:
stack_info_1 = %p, stack_info_2 = %p",
117 i, sinfo1.thread, sinfo2.thread);
118 } else if (si1.state != si2.state) { /*
jvmtiStackInfo::state */
119 snprintf(err_msg, sizeof(err_msg),
120 "state[%d] is different:
stack_info_1 = %d, stack_info_2 = %d",
121 i, si1.state, si2.state);
122 } else if (si1.frame_count != si2.frame_count)
{ /* jvmtiStackInfo::frame_count */
123 snprintf(err_msg, sizeof(err_msg),
124 "frame_count[%d] is different:
stack_info_1 = %d, stack_info_2 = %d",
125 i, si1.frame_count, si2.frame_count);
126 } else {
127 /* Iterate all jvmtiFrameInfo to check */
128 for (j = 0; j < si1.frame_count; j++) {
129 if (si1.frame_buffer[j].method !=
si1.frame_buffer[j].method) { /* jvmtiFrameInfo::method */
130 snprintf(err_msg, sizeof(err_msg),
131 "thread [%d]
frame_buffer[%d].method is different: stack_info_1 = %lx,
stack_info_2 = %lx",
132 i, j,
si1.frame_buffer[j].method, si2.frame_buffer[j].method);
133 break;
134 } else if (si1.frame_buffer[j].location !=
si1.frame_buffer[j].location) { /*
jvmtiFrameInfo::location */
135 snprintf(err_msg, sizeof(err_msg),
136 "thread [%d]
frame_buffer[%d].location is different: stack_info_1 =
%ld, stack_info_2 = %ld",
137 i, j,
si1.frame_buffer[j].location, si2.frame_buffer[j].location);
138 break;
139 }
140 }
141 }
142 }
Another step would be to create functions that implement
a body of each loop.
You can use the same techniques to simplify similar place
(L127-L138) in the libOneGetThreadListStackTraces.c.

Hi Serguei,
Generally I agree with you, but I have concern about
the difference of the result of GetStackTrace() and
GetThreadListStackTraces().
GetStackTrace: jvmtiFrameInfo
GetThreadListStackTraces: jvmtiStackInfo
jvmtiStackInfo contains thread state, and it is
ensured it is the state of the call stack.
If we want to get both call stack and thread state, we
need to suspend target thread, and call both
GetStackTrace() and GetThreadState(). Is it ok?
I was wondering if JDK-8201641 (parent ticket of this
change) needed them for profiling (dynatrace?)
If it is responsibility of JVMTI agent implementor, I
remove this closure.

Hi Yasumasa,
After some thinking I've concluded that I do not like
this optimization
of the GetThreadListStackTraces with
GetSingleStackTraceClosure.
We may need more opinions on this but these are my
points:
- it adds some complexity and ugliness
- a win is doubtful because it has to be a rare
case, so that total overhead should not be high
- if it is really high for some use cases then it
is up to the user
to optimize it with using GetStackTrace instead
In such cases with doubtful overhead I usually prefer
the simplicity.
Good examples where it makes sense to optimize are
checks for target thread to be current thread.
In such cases there is no need to suspend the target
thread, or use a VMop/HandshakeClosure.
For instance, please, see the Monitor functions with
the check: (java_thread == calling_thread).
Getting information for current thread is frequently
used case, e.g. to get info at an event point.

L64: startSignal.countDown();
I was expecting this to be a call to
await() instead of
countDown(). What am I missing here?
I think this test might be passing by
accident right now, but...
Main thread (which call JVMTI functions to
test) should wait until test thread is ready.
So main thread would wait startSignal, and test
thread would count down.
No!
The test thread that previously called
obj.wait() now calls latch.await().
The main thread that previously called
obj.notify() now calls latch.countDown().
The main thread continues to spin until it sees
the target is WAITING before proceeding with the
test.
If I add spin wait to wait until transit target
thread state is WAITING (as following), we don't
need to call SuspendThread().
Which is better?
The original spin-wait loop checking for WAITING
is better because it is the only guarantee that the
target thread is blocked where you need it to be.
suspending the thread is racy as you don't know
exactly where the suspend will hit.

David

Here's the flow as I see it:

- main is now blocked
worker thread

- main is now unblocked
- stopSignal.await()
- worker is now blocked
main thread

- stopSignal.countDown()
- worker is now unblocked
- th.join
- main is now blocked
worker thread
- runs off the end of run()
- main is now unblocked
main thread
- run off the end of main()

L92: jthreads = (jthread

You don't check for malloc() failure.
'jthreads' is allocated but never freed.
I will fix it.
test/hotspot/jtreg/serviceability/jvmti/GetThreadListStackTraces/libOneGetThreadListStackTraces.c
L91: result =
(*jvmti)->SuspendThread(jvmti, thread);
Why are you suspending the thread?
GetAllStackTraces() and
GetThreadListStackTraces() do not require the
target thread(s)
to be suspend.
If you decide not to SuspendThread,
then you don't need the
AddCapabilities or the ResumeThread calls.
Test thread might not be entered following code
(stopSignal.await()). We might see deferent
call stack between GetAllStackTraces() and
GetThreadListStackTraces(). We cannot control
to freeze call stack of test thread in Java code.
(I didn't use SuspendThread() at first, but I
saw some errors which causes in above.)
So we need to call SuspendThread() to ensure we
can see same call stack.
If you are checking that the thread is in state
WAITING then it cannot escape from that state
and you can sample the stack multiple times from
any API and get the same result.
I suspect the errors you saw were from the
apparent incorrect use of the CountDownLatch.
With the flow outlined above, the worker thread
should be
nicely blocked in stopSignal.await() when stuff
is sampled.

In the other places where you use _collector

I don't think the suspension check is
necessary, as even if the target is
suspended we must still be at a
safepoint or in a handshake with it.
Makes me wonder if we used to allow a
racy stacktrace operation on a
suspended thread, assuming it would
remain suspended?
This function
(JvmtiEnvBase::get_stack_trace()) can be
called to get own stack trace. For example,
we can call GetStackTrace() for current
thread at JVMTI event.
So I changed assert as below:
```
820 assert(current_thread == java_thread ||
821
SafepointSynchronize::is_at_safepoint() ||
822 current_thread ==
java_thread->active_handshaker(),
823 "call by myself / at safepoint / at
handshake");
```
Yep good catch. I hope current tests caught
that.
They would be tested in
vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/GetStackTrace/getstacktr001/
(own call stacks), and getstacktr003 (call
stacks in other thread).
Speaking of tests ...
In the native code I think you need to check
the success of all JNI methods that can
throw exceptions - otherwise I believe the
tests may trigger warnings if -Xcheck:jni is
used with them. See for example:
test/hotspot/jtreg/serviceability/jvmti/HeapMonitor/libHeapMonitorTest.cpp
I updated testcases to check JNI and JVMTI
function calls.
In the Java code the target thread:
45 public void run() {
46 try {
47 synchronized (lock) {
48 lock.wait();
49 System.out.println("OK");
50 }
is potentially susceptible to spurious
wakeups. Using a CountDownLatch would be
robust.
Fixed.

Sorry I got confused, _calling_thread may
not be the current thread as we could be
executing the handshake in the target
thread itself. So the ResourceMark is
correct as-is (implicitly for current
thread).
The argument to fill_frames will be used
in the jvmtiStackInfo and passed back to
the _calling_thread, so it must be created
via make_local(_calling_thread, ...) as
you presently have.

This looks really good now! I only
have a few nits below. There is one
thing I don't like about it but it
requires a change to the main
Handshake logic to address - in
JvmtiEnv::GetThreadListStackTraces you
have to create a ThreadsListHandle to
convert the jthread to a JavaThread,
but then the Handshake::execute_direct
creates another ThreadsListHandle
internally. That's a waste. I will
discuss with Robbin and file a RFE to
have an overload of execute_direct
that takes an existing TLH. Actually
it's worse than that because we have
another TLH in use at the entry point
for the JVMTI functions, so I think
there may be some scope for
simplifying the use of TLH instances -
future RFE.

This change replace following VM

- VM_GetFrameCount (GetFrameCount())
- VM_GetFrameLocation
(GetFrameLocation())
- VM_GetThreadListStackTraces
(GetThreadListStackTrace())
- VM_GetCurrentLocation
GetThreadListStackTrace() uses
direct handshake if thread count ==

it would be performed as VM

added safepoint check in its caller.
