Adding serviceability-dev mailing list. It would be good to have this
reviewed by the JVMTI experts also to make sure all cases are covered.

The flags -agentlib and -agentpath are to run JVMTI (native) agents,
and Agent_OnLoad is an entrypoint in native agent library.
The '-agentlib' and '-agentpath' options are used to load and execute
a native library via the Agent_OnLoad() entry point. However, the
agent does not have to use JVM/TI (it could be pure JNI):

$ java -help

    -agentlib:<libname>[=<options>]
                  load native agent library <libname>, e.g. -agentlib:hprof
                  see also, -agentlib:jdwp=help and -agentlib:hprof=help
    -agentpath:<pathname>[=<options>]
                  load native agent library by full pathname

The '-javaagent' option is used to load and execute a Java agent:

    -javaagent:<jarpath>[=<options>]
                  load Java programming language agent, see
java.lang.instrument

so I agree that the option is misnamed (a bit), but the reasons
needed to be clarified.

Serguei, Dan,

Thanks for taking a look.

I think the option name is correct but the comment for
Threads::create_vm_init_agents() is incorrect as I believe it will start
both Java native agents. Otherwise, my new tests won't work.

Below is my understanding:

In thread.cpp:

3697 if (Arguments::init_agents_at_startup()) {
3698 create_vm_init_agents();
3699 }

init_agents_at_startup() checks if the _agentList is empty in arguments.hpp:

static bool init_agents_at_startup() { return
!_agentList.is_empty(); }

In arguments.cpp, entries will be added to the _agentList during the
parsing of the -agentLib, -agentPath, and -javaagent arguments. See
lines around 2463-2502.
For the -agentLib and -agentPath args, the _agentList will be populated
via the add_init_agent() function. For the -javaagent, the _agentList
will be populated via the add_instrument_agent() function.

So in create_vm_init_agents(), it will just loop through the _agentList
and starts all the agents. There's a check for
!agent->is_instrument_agent() at line 4092 which is for not allowing any
JVMTI (native) agent to be run during dump time.

One more reply to Serguei's comment below...

thanks,
Calvin

It is not clear from scratch how these two values can be different at
line 1350. At least, some comment explaining it is needed.
The value retrieved from the archive header could be different from the
run time setting.
I will add a comment.

Threads::create_vm_init_agents() is incorrect as I believe it will
start both Java native agents. Otherwise, my new tests won't work.
It works because there is the system JVMTI (native) agent library
libinstrument.so that is supporting java agents.
It means that new option first impacts native agents and transitively
java agents as well via the libinstrument.so.

Dan already asked the question about your original reasoning/intention.
If your intention is to control java agent only then the fix is wrong as
the real impact is much bigger.
If you wanted to control all the agents then the new option name is
misleading.

Hi Calvin,
Post by Calvin Cheung
Serguei, Dan,
Thanks for taking a look.
I think the option name is correct but the comment for
Threads::create_vm_init_agents() is incorrect as I believe it will
start both Java native agents. Otherwise, my new tests won't work.
It works because there is the system JVMTI (native) agent library
libinstrument.so that is supporting java agents.
It means that new option first impacts native agents and transitively
java agents as well via the libinstrument.so.
Dan already asked the question about your original reasoning/intention.
If your intention is to control java agent only then the fix is wrong
as the real impact is much bigger.
If you wanted to control all the agents then the new option name is
misleading.
The intention of this change is:

Disallow all use of native and java agents by default. -- using agents
during dump time will cause undesirable side effects and make the CDS
archive unsuitable for production environments.

However, for testing CDS itself, we want to use the Java agent (to run
arbitrary Java code during dump time, such as causing GC at specific times).

As a result, what we are doing is:

    + Always disallow non-Java agents.
    + Allow java agents only if AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is specified.

I think we should clean up the bug title and description if necessary.
However, the behavior of this patch is what we want. And I think the
naming of the AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent option is correct (as least in
the sense of "anything not explicitly allow are strictly forbidden" :-)

Thanks

init_agents_at_startup() checks if the _agentList is empty in
 static bool init_agents_at_startup()      { return
!_agentList.is_empty(); }
In arguments.cpp, entries will be added to the _agentList during the
parsing of the -agentLib, -agentPath, and -javaagent arguments. See
lines around 2463-2502.
For the -agentLib and -agentPath args, the _agentList will be
populated via the add_init_agent() function. For the -javaagent, the
_agentList will be populated via the add_instrument_agent() function.
So in create_vm_init_agents(), it will just loop through the
_agentList and starts all the agents. There's a check for
!agent->is_instrument_agent() at line 4092 which is for not allowing
any JVMTI (native) agent to be run during dump time.

The '-agentlib' and '-agentpath' options are used to load and execute
a native library via the Agent_OnLoad() entry point. However, the
$ java -help
    -agentlib:<libname>[=<options>]
                  load native agent library <libname>, e.g.
-agentlib:hprof
                  see also, -agentlib:jdwp=help and

                  load native agent library by full pathname

                  load Java programming language agent, see

The intention of this change is: <br>
<br>
Disallow all use of native and java agents by default. -- using
agents during dump time will cause undesirable side effects and
make the CDS archive unsuitable for production environments. <br>
<br>
However, for testing CDS itself, we want to use the Java agent
(to run arbitrary Java code during dump time, such as causing GC
at specific times). <br>
<br>
As a result, what we are doing is: <br>
<br>
    + Always disallow non-Java agents. <br>
    + Allow java agents only if AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is
specified. <br>
<br>
I think we should clean up the bug title and description if
necessary. However, the behavior of this patch is what we want.
And I think the naming of the AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent option
is correct (as least in the sense of "anything not explicitly
allow are strictly forbidden" :-) <br>

Hi Serguei,

I've updated the webrev based on your suggestions:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ccheung/8201375/webrev.01/

Files changed since last time:
thead.cpp - your suggestion below
filemap.cpp - added a comment
DumpWithJavaAgent.java - some @ tag cleanup
DumpWithJvmtiAgent.java - some @ tag cleanup and added another test
scenario (-agentlib without AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent)

Hi Calvin,

It looks good in general.

New comment does not help much:

1362 // Java agents are allowed during run time. Therefore, the
following condition is not
1363 // checked: !_allow_archiving_with_java_agent &&
AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent
1364 if (_allow_archiving_with_java_agent && !AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent) {
1365 FileMapInfo::fail_continue("The setting of the
AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is different "
1366 "from the setting in the shared archive.");
1367 return false;
1368 }

There is a need to mention that the the _allow_archiving_with_java_agent
was set at the shared archive dump time while theAllowArchivingWithJavaAgent
is the option passed to the current run.

Hi Calvin,
Post by Calvin Cheung
Serguei, Dan,
Thanks for taking a look.
I think the option name is correct but the comment for
Threads::create_vm_init_agents() is incorrect as I believe it
will start both Java native agents. Otherwise, my new tests won't
work.
It works because there is the system JVMTI (native) agent library
libinstrument.so that is supporting java agents.
It means that new option first impacts native agents and
transitively java agents as well via the libinstrument.so.
Dan already asked the question about your original
reasoning/intention.
If your intention is to control java agent only then the fix is
wrong as the real impact is much bigger.
If you wanted to control all the agents then the new option name
is misleading.
Disallow all use of native and java agents by default. -- using
agents during dump time will cause undesirable side effects and
make the CDS archive unsuitable for production environments.
However, for testing CDS itself, we want to use the Java agent (to
run arbitrary Java code during dump time, such as causing GC at
specific times).
    + Always disallow non-Java agents.
    + Allow java agents only if AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is
specified.
I think we should clean up the bug title and description if
necessary. However, the behavior of this patch is what we want. And
I think the naming of the AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent option is
correct (as least in the sense of "anything not explicitly allow
are strictly forbidden" :-)
Thanks

In arguments.cpp, entries will be added to the _agentList during
the parsing of the -agentLib, -agentPath, and -javaagent

For the -agentLib and -agentPath args, the _agentList will be
populated via the add_init_agent() function. For the -javaagent,
the _agentList will be populated via the add_instrument_agent()

So in create_vm_init_agents(), it will just loop through the

!agent->is_instrument_agent() at line 4092 which is for not

The '-agentlib' and '-agentpath' options are used to load and execute
a native library via the Agent_OnLoad() entry point. However, the

There is a need to mention that the the _allow_archiving_with_java_agent
was set at the shared archive dump time while
theAllowArchivingWithJavaAgent
is the option passed to the current run.
How about the following comment?

// Java agents are allowed during run time. Therefore, the following

In arguments.cpp, entries will be added to the _agentList
during the parsing of the -agentLib, -agentPath, and -javaagent
arguments. See lines around 2463-2502.
For the -agentLib and -agentPath args, the _agentList will be
populated via the add_init_agent() function. For the
-javaagent, the _agentList will be populated via the
add_instrument_agent() function.
So in create_vm_init_agents(), it will just loop through the
_agentList and starts all the agents. There's a check for
!agent->is_instrument_agent() at line 4092 which is for not
allowing any JVMTI (native) agent to be run during dump time.

and Agent_OnLoad is an entrypoint in native agent library.
The '-agentlib' and '-agentpath' options are used to load and execute
a native library via the Agent_OnLoad() entry point. However, the

    -agentlib:<libname>[=<options>]
                  load native agent library <libname>, e.g.
-agentlib:hprof

Hi Calvin,
It seems the option name AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is not right.

The flags -agentlib and -agentpath are to run JVMTI (native) agents,
and Agent_OnLoad is an entrypoint in native agent library.
So, I'm thinking if it'd make sense to rename the option to

  AllowArchivingWithNativeAgent or

It is not clear from scratch how these two values can be

Hi Calvin,
It looks good in general.
1362 // Java agents are allowed during run time. Therefore, the
following condition is not
1363 // checked: !_allow_archiving_with_java_agent&&
AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent
1364 if (_allow_archiving_with_java_agent&&
!AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent) {
1365 FileMapInfo::fail_continue("The setting of the
AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is different "
1366 "from the setting in the shared archive.");
1367 return false;
1368 }
There is a need to mention that the the
_allow_archiving_with_java_agent
was set at the shared archive dump time while
theAllowArchivingWithJavaAgent
is the option passed to the current run.
How about the following comment?
// Java agents are allowed during run time. Therefore, the
following condition is not
// checked: (!_allow_archiving_with_java_agent &&
AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent)
// Note: _allow_archiving_with_java_agent is set in the shared

Serguei, Dan,
Thanks for taking a look.
I think the option name is correct but the comment for
Threads::create_vm_init_agents() is incorrect as I believe it
will start both Java native agents. Otherwise, my new tests
won't work.
It works because there is the system JVMTI (native) agent
library libinstrument.so that is supporting java agents.
It means that new option first impacts native agents and
transitively java agents as well via the libinstrument.so.
Dan already asked the question about your original
reasoning/intention.
If your intention is to control java agent only then the fix is
wrong as the real impact is much bigger.
If you wanted to control all the agents then the new option
name is misleading.
Disallow all use of native and java agents by default. -- using
agents during dump time will cause undesirable side effects and
make the CDS archive unsuitable for production environments.
However, for testing CDS itself, we want to use the Java agent
(to run arbitrary Java code during dump time, such as causing GC
at specific times).
+ Always disallow non-Java agents.
+ Allow java agents only if AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is
specified.
I think we should clean up the bug title and description if
necessary. However, the behavior of this patch is what we want.

is correct (as least in the sense of "anything not explicitly

I'm not sure that a Java agent can exist without the presence of the
backing native agent. For JLI/JPLIS, you have both the Java agent part
and the native agent that supports the Java agent.

So if you're truly disallowing non-Java agents, I'm not sure how that
Java agent can run without the backing native agent. However, this area
may have evolved since I last worked on it...

Hi Calvin,
Post by Calvin Cheung
Serguei, Dan,
Thanks for taking a look.
I think the option name is correct but the comment for
Threads::create_vm_init_agents() is incorrect as I believe it will
start both Java native agents. Otherwise, my new tests won't work.
It works because there is the system JVMTI (native) agent library
libinstrument.so that is supporting java agents.
It means that new option first impacts native agents and
transitively java agents as well via the libinstrument.so.
Dan already asked the question about your original reasoning/intention.
If your intention is to control java agent only then the fix is
wrong as the real impact is much bigger.
If you wanted to control all the agents then the new option name is
misleading.
Disallow all use of native and java agents by default. -- using
agents during dump time will cause undesirable side effects and make
the CDS archive unsuitable for production environments.
However, for testing CDS itself, we want to use the Java agent (to
run arbitrary Java code during dump time, such as causing GC at
specific times).
    + Always disallow non-Java agents.
    + Allow java agents only if AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is specified.
I think we should clean up the bug title and description if
necessary. However, the behavior of this patch is what we want. And I
think the naming of the AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent option is correct
(as least in the sense of "anything not explicitly allow are strictly
forbidden" :-)
I'm not sure that a Java agent can exist without the presence of the
backing native agent. For JLI/JPLIS, you have both the Java agent part
and the native agent that supports the Java agent.
So if you're truly disallowing non-Java agents, I'm not sure how that
Java agent can run without the backing native agent. However, this area
may have evolved since I last worked on it...
Dan
Hi Dan,

You're correct that Java agents are implemented on top of native agents.
However, Java agents expose a more restricted set of capabilities than
the native agents. Since our CDS test only needs to use the
instrumentation provided by Java agents, it's safer to allow only Java
agents.

I should have said "forbid the direct use of native agents via the
-agentlib and -agentpath command-line options".

Thanks

'AllowArchivingWithAgent' is also one of the earlier suggested naming (I
voted for it :)). I think it servers the purpose better. We mainly want
a diagnosis flag that allows us to use a JVMTI agent at CDS dump time
for testing purpose only. Even for the 'allowed' usage, it may not have
a complete support for all cases (so a diagnosis flag is needed to turn
on the mode).

212 _allow_archiving_with_java_agent = AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent; ...
1350 if (_allow_archiving_with_java_agent &&
!AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent) { 1351 FileMapInfo::fail_continue("The
setting of the AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent is different " 1352 "from
the setting in the shared archive."); 1353 return false; 1354 } The
_allow_archiving_with_java_agent is initialized with the
AllowArchivingWithJavaAgent at line 212.
It is not clear from scratch how these two values can be different at
line 1350. At least, some comment explaining it is needed.
Thanks,

Adding serviceability-dev mailing list. It would be good to have
this reviewed by the JVMTI experts also to make sure all cases are
covered.
