Greetings,
I have a "fix" for a long standing race between JVM shutdown and the
JVM statistics subsystem:
JDK-8049304 race between VM_Exit and _sync_FutileWakeups->inc()
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8049304
Webrev URL: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dcubed/8049304-webrev/0-jdk9-hs-rt/
Testing: Aurora Adhoc RT-SVC nightly batch
Aurora Adhoc vm.tmtools batch
Kim's repro sequence for JDK-8049304
Kim's repro sequence for JDK-8129978
JPRT -testset hotspot
This "fix":
- adds a volatile flag to record whether PerfDataManager is holding
data (PerfData objects)
- adds PerfDataManager::has_PerfData() to return the flag
- changes the Java monitor subsystem's use of PerfData to
check both allocation of the monitor subsystem specific
PerfData object and the new PerfDataManager::has_PerfData()
return value
If the global 'UsePerfData' option is false, the system works as
it did before. If 'UsePerfData' is true (the default on non-embedded
systems), the Java monitor subsystem will allocate a number of
PerfData objects to record information. The objects will record
information about Java monitor subsystem until the JVM shuts down.
When the JVM starts to shutdown, the new PerfDataManager flag will
change to false and the Java monitor subsystem will stop using the
PerfData objects. This is the new behavior. As noted in the comments
I added to the code, the race is still present; I'm just changing
the order and the timing to reduce the likelihood of the crash.
Thanks, in advance, for any comments, questions or suggestions.
Dan
