RFR: JDK-8152690: main thread does not have native thread name

Hi Yasumasa,

Thanks for persevering with this to get it into the current form. Sorry 
I haven't been able to do a detailed review until now.

I agree we do not need to abort if an exception occurs (and in fact I 
don't think an exception is even possible from this code), but we should 
ensure any pending exception is cleared before any futher JNI calls 
might be made. Note that NULL_CHECK is already used extensively 
throughout the launcher code - so if this usage is wrong then it is all 
wrong! More on this code below ...

Please add a comment to the method now that you removed the internal 
comment:

// Sets the native thread name for a JavaThread. If specifically
// requested JNI-attached threads can also have their native name set;
// otherwise we do not modify JNI-attached threads as it may interfere
// with the application that created them.

---

jdk/src/java.base/share/classes/java/lang/Thread.java

Please add the following comments:

+            // Don't modify JNI-attached threads
              setNativeName(name, false);

+ // May be called directly via JNI or reflection (when permitted) to
+ // allow JNI-attached threads to set their native name
  private native void setNativeName(String name, boolean 
allowAttachedThread);

---

jd/src/java.base/share/native/libjli/java.c

328 #define LEAVE() \
329     SetNativeThreadName(env, "DestroyJavaVM"); \

I was going to suggest this be set later, but realized we have to be 
attached to do this and that happens inside DestroyJavaVM. :)

+     /* Set native thread name. */
+     SetNativeThreadName(env, "main");

The comment is redundant given the name of the method. That aside I'm 
not sure why you do this so late in the process, I would have done it 
immediately after here:

  386     if (!InitializeJVM(&vm, &env, &ifn)) {
  387         JLI_ReportErrorMessage(JVM_ERROR1);
  388         exit(1);
  389     }
  +       SetNativeThreadName(env, "main");


+ /**
+  * Set native thread name as possible.
+  */

Other than the as->if change I'm unclear where the "possible" bit comes 
into play - why would it not be possible?

1705     NULL_CHECK(cls = FindBootStrapClass(env, "java/lang/Thread"));
1706     NULL_CHECK(currentThreadID = (*env)->GetStaticMethodID(env, cls,
1707                                      "currentThread", 
"()Ljava/lang/Thread;"));
1708     NULL_CHECK(currentThread = (*env)->CallStaticObjectMethod(env, cls,
1709 
currentThreadID));
1710     NULL_CHECK(setNativeNameID = (*env)->GetMethodID(env, cls,
1711                                     "setNativeName", 
"(Ljava/lang/String;Z)V"));
1712     NULL_CHECK(nameString = (*env)->NewStringUTF(env, name));
1713     (*env)->CallVoidMethod(env, currentThread, setNativeNameID,
1714                            nameString, JNI_TRUE);

As above NULL_CHECK is fine here, but we should check for and clear any 
pending exception after CallVoidMethod.

One thing I dislike about the current structure is that we have to go 
from char* to java.lang.String to call setNativeName which then calls 
JVM_SetNativeThreadName which converts the j.l.String back to a char* ! 
Overall I wonder about the affect on startup cost. But if there is an 
issue we can revisit this.

Thanks,
David
