From 5e5a11dcbd83e17ccd5c8e0c7c4f2cd9e364814c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaroslav Bachorik Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 18:31:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/28] fix: free line number tables while class pins held (PROF-14545) cleanupUnreferencedMethods() was called after finishChunk() released GetLoadedClasses pins. If a JVM freed JVMTI-allocated line number table memory on class unload, the subsequent jvmti->Deallocate in SharedLineNumberTable::~SharedLineNumberTable() would hit freed memory. Move the cleanup call into finishChunk() before releasing class pins so Deallocate always runs while the corresponding class is still loaded.

This test reproduces the crash scenario: + *

    + *
  1. A dynamically-loaded class with line number tables appears in profiling stack traces
    2. + *
  2. All references to the class and its class loader are dropped
    3. + *
  3. The JVM is encouraged to GC and unload the class (System.gc())
    4. + *
  4. AGE_THRESHOLD+1 dump cycles are triggered to age the method out of the method_map
    5. + *
  5. cleanupUnreferencedMethods() must not SIGSEGV when freeing the line number table
    6. + *
+ * + *

Bug: {@code MethodInfo::_line_number_table->_ptr} held a raw pointer to JVMTI-allocated + * memory returned by {@code GetLineNumberTable}. When the underlying class was unloaded, the JVM + * freed that memory, leaving {@code _ptr} dangling. The crash manifested when + * {@code MethodInfo::getLineNumber(bci)} dereferenced the freed memory while + * {@code writeStackTraces} iterated traces that still referenced the now-unloaded method + * (a peer manifestation of PROF-14545, which crashes inside + * {@code SharedLineNumberTable::~SharedLineNumberTable} via {@code Deallocate}). + * + *

Test scenario (timing-sensitive — catches the bug aggressively under ASan): + *

    + *
  1. Aggressively profile a dynamically-loaded class so its methods land in many CPU samples. + * Each sample creates an entry in {@code call_trace_storage} and a {@code MethodInfo} entry + * in {@code _method_map} that holds a {@code shared_ptr}.
    2. + *
  2. Drop all strong references to the class and its loader; encourage unloading via + * {@code System.gc()} until the {@code WeakReference} is cleared.
    3. + *
  3. Immediately dump — within the same chunk if possible — so the freshly-unloaded method's + * traces are still in {@code call_trace_storage} when {@code writeStackTraces} runs.
    4. + *
  4. The lambda inside {@code processCallTraces} resolves the unloaded method via + * {@code Lookup::resolveMethod} and calls {@code MethodInfo::getLineNumber(bci)} on a + * {@code MethodInfo} whose {@code _line_number_table->_ptr} was freed by the JVM → + * SIGSEGV without the fix.
    5. + *
+ * + *

With the fix (PROF-14547), {@code SharedLineNumberTable} owns a malloc'd copy of the entries + * (the JVMTI allocation is deallocated immediately at capture time inside + * {@code Lookup::fillJavaMethodInfo}), so {@code _ptr} stays valid regardless of class unload. + * + *

Limitations: + *

    + *
  • Not authored "blind" — the implementation existed before the test was written.
    • + *
  • Without ASan/UBSan, the freed JVMTI region may still hold plausible bytes at read time + * and the test will report green even on a buggy binary. ASan/UBSan builds are the + * authoritative signal here.
    • + *
  • Class unload is JVM-discretionary; if the {@code WeakReference} doesn't clear within + * the deadline the test {@code assumeTrue}-skips rather than passing spuriously.
    • + *
  • {@code mcleanup=false} is set deliberately so a SIGSEGV here is unambiguously the + * PROF-14547 read path, not the PROF-14545 cleanup path covered by + * {@code CleanupAfterClassUnloadTest}.

Signal handlers and JNI writers write to the active buffer lock-free. The dump/stop paths call rotate() before lockAll() so the standby buffer holds a stable snapshot for writeCpool()/writeClasses(); clearStandby() frees old-active memory and resets counters after the dump completes. Removes _class_map_lock, classMapSharedGuard(), classMapTrySharedGuard(), tryLockSharedBounded() and BoundedOptionalSharedLockGuard — all of which existed solely to protect Dictionary reads from concurrent clear() calls. Fixes aarch64 regression where tryLockSharedBounded(5) spuriously failed under heavy wall-clock load, causing class lookups to return -1 and corrupting JFR recordings.

For pure wall-clock profiling, all class name inserts happen via fillJavaMethodInfo() into the standby (id=0 slot) and never reach the active dict — so the counter is 0 on both HotSpot and J9. The regression for this path is that MethodSample events are generated, which verifyEvents() already checks.

Walkvm lookups remain best-effort against the active buffer; a proper fix requires pre-populating via JVMTI ClassPrepare. Simplify TripleBufferRotator: drop _recent_ptr, recent(), advanceRecent(). The third buffer's only remaining role is a grace-period delay before clearing, which is enough on its own to keep the lock-free clear safe against in-flight JNI lookups.
