Ludovic Henry has refreshed the contents of this pull request, and previous
commits have been removed. The incremental views will show differences compared
to the previous content of the PR. The pull request contains five new commits
since the last revision:
- Disable checks in FrameParser when known to be safe
- Allow AsyncGetCallTrace and JFR to unwind stack from vtable stub
The program is the following:
```
import java.util.function.Supplier;
public class Prof2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var rand = new java.util.Random(0);
Supplier[] suppliers = {
() -> 0,
() -> 1,
() -> 2,
() -> 3,
};
long sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i >= 0; i++) {
sum += (int)suppliers[i % suppliers.length].get();
}
}
}
```
The results are as follows:

We attribute the vtable stub to the caller and not the callee, which is
already an improvement from the existing case.
- Allow AsyncGetCallTrace and JFR to unwind stack from nmethod's prolog
When sampling hits the prolog of a method, Hotspot assumes it's unable
to parse the frame. This change allows to parse such frame on x86 by
specializing which instruction it's hitting in the prolog.

The program is as follows:
```
import java.util.function.Supplier;
public class Prof2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
var rand = new java.util.Random(0);
Supplier[] suppliers = {
() -> 0,
() -> 1,
() -> 2,
() -> 3,
};
long sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i >= 0; i++) {
sum += (int)suppliers[i % suppliers.length].get();
}
}
}
```
We see that the results are particularely useful in this case as the
methods are very short (it only returns an integer), and the probability
of hitting the prolog is then very high.
- Allow AsyncGetCallTrace and JFR to walk a stub frame
When the signal sent for AsyncGetCallTrace or JFR would land on a stub
(like arraycopy), it wouldn't be able to detect the sender (caller)
frame because `_cb->frame_size() == 0`.
Because we fully control how the prolog and epilog of stub code is
generated, we know there are two cases:
1. A stack frame is allocated via macroAssembler->enter(), and consists
in `push rbp; mov rsp, rbp;`.
2. No stack frames are allocated and rbp is left unchanged and rsp is
decremented with the `call` instruction that push the return `pc` on the
stack.
For case 1., we can easily know the sender frame by simply looking at
rbp, especially since we know that all stubs preserve the frame pointer
(on x86 at least).
For case 2., we end up returning the sender's sender, but that already
gives us more information than what we have today.
The results are as follows:
- Baseline:

(t 98.8,s 0.0) java.lang.StringBuilder::append
(t 0.9,s 0.0) java.lang.StringBuilder::delete
The program is as follows:
```
public class Prof1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
sb.append("ab");
sb.delete(0, 1);
}
System.out.println(sb.length());
}
}
```
We now account for the arraycopy stub which is called by
AbstractStringBuilder::ensureCapacityInternal. It was previously ignored
because it would not know how to parse the frame for the arraycopy stub
and would fall in the AGCT::Unknown Java[ERR=-5] section.
However, it still isn't perfect since it doesn't point to the arraycopy stub
directly.
- Extract sender frame parsing to CodeBlock::FrameParser
Whether and how a frame is setup is controlled by the code generator
for the specific CodeBlock. The CodeBlock is then in the best place to know
how
to parse the sender's frame from the current frame in the given CodeBlock.
This refactoring proposes to extract this parsing out of `frame` and into a
`CodeBlock::FrameParser`. This FrameParser is then specialized in the
relevant
inherited children of CodeBlock.
This change is to largely facilitate adding new supported cases for
JDK-8252417
like runtime stubs.
