Dear Stefan,
Thanks a lot! I agree with you to decouple the heap inspection code with GC's.
I will start from your POC code, may discuss with you later.
BRs,
Lin

Hi Lin,
I took a look at this earlier and saw that the heap inspection code is
strongly coupled with the CollectedHeap and G1CollectedHeap. I'd prefer
if we'd abstract this away, so that the GCs only provide a "parallel
object iteration" interface, and the heap inspection code is kept elsewhere.
I started experimenting with doing that, but other higher-priority (to
me) tasks have had to take precedence.
I've uploaded my work-in-progress / proof-of-concept:
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/8215624/webrev.01.delta/
https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stefank/8215624/webrev.01/
The current code doesn't handle the lifecycle (deletion) of the
ParallelObjectIterators. There's also code left unimplemented in around
CollectedHeap::run_task. However, I think this could work as a basis to
pull out the heap inspection code out of the GCs.
Thanks,
StefanK

I would say the faster the heap inspection does, the shorter the mutator be blocked. This is parallel iteration for jmap is necessary.
>> > I think the parallel heap inspection should be applied to all kind of heap. However, consider the heap layout are different for GCs, much time is required to understand all kinds of the heap layout to make the whole change. IMO, It is not wise to have a huge patch for the whole solution at once, and it is even harder to review it. So I plan to implement it incrementally, the first patch (this one) is going to confirm the implemention detail of how jmap accept the new option, passes it to attachListener of the jvm process and then how to make the parallel inspection closure be generic enough to make it easy to extend to different heap layout. And also how to implement the heap inspection in specific gc's heap. This patch use G1's heap as the begining.
>> > This patch actually do several things:
>> > 1. Add an option "parallelThreadNum=<N>" to jmap -histo, the default behavior is to set N to 0, means let's JVM decide how many threads to use for heap inspection. Set this option to 1 will disable parallel heap inspection. (more details in CSR: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8239290)
>> > 2. Make a change in how Jmap passing arguments, changes in http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~lzang/jmap-8214535/8215624/webrev_01/src/jdk.jcmd/share/classes/sun/tools/jmap/JMap.java.udiff.html, originally it pass options as separate arguments to attachListener, this patch change to that all options be compose to a single string. So the arg_count_max in attachListener.hpp do not need to be changed, and hence avoid the compatibility issue, as disscussed at https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/serviceability-dev/2019-March/027334.html
>> > 3. Add an abstract class ParHeapInspectTask in heapInspection.hpp / heapInspection.cpp, It's work(uint worker_id) method prepares the data structure (KlassInfoTable) need for every parallel worker thread, and then call do_object_iterate_parallel() which is heap specific implementation. I also added some machenism in KlassInfoTable to support parallel iteration, such as merge().
