Hi Roman,
A few comments on the SA changes:
==> Could you please add the following lines in
src/jdk.hotspot.agent/share/classes/sun/jvm/hotspot/HSDB.java from line
1120 onwards to avoid the "[Unknown generation]" message with hsdb while
displaying the Stack Memory for a mutator thread ?
else if (collHeap instanceof ShenandoahHeap) {
ShenandoahHeap heap = (ShenandoahHeap) collHeap;
anno = "ShenandoahHeap ";
bad = false;
}
==>
src/jdk.hotspot.agent/share/classes/sun/jvm/hotspot/tools/HeapSummary.java
The printGCAlgorithm() method would need to be updated to read in the
UseShenandoahGC flag to avoid the default "Mark Sweep Compact GC" being
displayed with jhsdb jmap -heap.
==>
src/jdk.hotspot.agent/share/classes/sun/jvm/hotspot/gc/shared/GCName.java
Could you please add "Shenandoah" to the GCName enum list ?
==>
src/jdk.hotspot.agent/share/classes/sun/jvm/hotspot/gc/shared/GCCause.java
Could you please update the GCCause enum values to include these:
_shenandoah_stop_vm,
_shenandoah_allocation_failure_evac,
_shenandoah_concurrent_gc,
_shenandoah_traversal_gc,
_shenandoah_upgrade_to_full_gc,
==> share/classes/sun/jvm/hotspot/runtime/VMOps.java
It would be good to add 'ShenandoahOperation' to the VMOps enum (though
it is probably not in sync now).
Thank you,
Jini.
