Please review the fix for JDK-8210926. This is a bug in the CDS code
that's exposed by JvmtiEnv::GetLoadedClasses(), and can be manifested in
different failures with the following tests:
com/sun/jdi/ClassesByName2Test.java
vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/allocation/AP11/ap11t001/TestDescription.java
runtime/RedefineTests/ModifyAnonymous.java
webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jiangli/8210926/webrev.00/
bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8210926
SystemDictionary::add_to_hierarchy() sets a InstanceKlass init_state to
‘loaded’ right before it is added to the the SystemDictionary.
JvmtiEnv::GetLoadedClasses() retrieves loaded classes’ (InstanceKlasses
in 'loaded' state and arrays) mirrors (Class objects). At CDS dump time,
a InstanceKlass::_init_state is reset back to 'loaded' state before
writing out the archived data. At runtime during loading of a shared
class, there is a 'brief' moment JvmtiEnv::GetLoadedClasses() in another
thread could see a shared class in ‘loaded’ state without mirror. NULL
mirror is not the only issue, other fields of the shared InstanceKlass
may not be setup properly before SystemDictionary::add_to_hierarchy().
To fix the issue, we need to reset to _init_state to 'allocated' state
before writing out the archived classes at dump time.
Verified the fix with running ClassesByName2Test.java using mach5
(thanks Chris for providing the reproducible case). Tested with tier1 -
tier3 in both default CDS mode and no CDS mode.
Thanks,
Jiangli
