Hi all,
Can I have a couple reviews for this fix for:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027675
Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sjohanss/8027675/webrev.00/
Summary:
When doing permgen removal we had to change the way classes were marked
and handled in the GC. When doing this we ended up doing some things a
little less efficient than before. The regression is easy to reproduce
and when doing a JFR recording we can see that we now spend more time in
both the mark and adjust phase.
To improve the mark phase:
* Enabled the calls to follow_klass to be inlined.
* Reduce the extensive amount of calls to follow_class_loader in
follow_klass and instead just mark the klass holder (the class loader or
the java mirror) for the given klass.
To improve the adjust phase:
* All calls to adjust_klass have been removed since this is already
handled by processing the ClassLoaderDataGraph.
Testing:
* Manually ran SPECjbb2005 to verify fixing the regression
* JPRT for functional sanity testing
* Nashorn tests to stress anonymous classes
Thanks,
StefanJ
