From 99699e0dc141409de1adbf1234e5fc56928e2ce3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaroslav Bachorik Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 17:35:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/53] Add vthread-context-cascade chaos antagonist; default MALLOC_CHECK_/MALLOC_PERTURB_ for glibc test runs Antagonist races tracer-style context propagation against virtual-thread carrier churn to target the ContextStorageMode.THREAD stale-carrier use-after-free. Since such heap corruption manifests silently until an unrelated later allocation, also turn on glibc's own corruption checks by default for chaos runs and ddprof-test suites (skipped on musl and whenever a sanitizer/allocator already owns malloc via LD_PRELOAD).

Each "chain-of-operations" (a synthetic distributed trace) is minted once with a stable + * {@code traceId}/{@code localRootSpanId} and an initial set of custom context attributes — this + * is the {@link ContextFrame} that a real tracer would carry inside a {@code Continuation} or + * wrapped {@code Runnable} across an async boundary. Every hop (a new virtual thread) then + * mimics {@code AgentScope} semantics explicitly: + * + *

    + *
  1. on entry, activate the propagated frame — the thread's first action ({@code + * setContext} + replaying every custom attribute), pushing it onto a locally tracked + * context stack; + *
  2. run a handful of synchronous nested "sub-operations", each activating a new child frame + * (new span id, rewritten attributes — the high context-change-rate dimension) and pushing + * it, sleeping briefly to force the virtual thread off its current carrier before writing + * again, then unwind by popping and re-activating the frame underneath — i.e. restoring + * the previously active context, exactly as {@code Scope.close()} does; + *
  3. fan out to child virtual threads, handing them the current frame to propagate (the chain + * continues on a new thread/carrier); + *
  4. on exit, pop the frame it activated on entry and restore whatever was logically + * "underneath" it (empty, since this is a fresh virtual thread). + *
+ * + *

A second, independent driver ({@link #pinningChurnLoop()}) continuously pins short-lived + * virtual threads to their carrier (a {@code synchronized} block held across a blocking sleep) + * across a rotating set of monitors, forcing the JDK's virtual-thread scheduler to spin up extra + * compensating carrier platform threads while the pins are held. + * + *

Targets: {@code com.datadoghq.profiler.OtelContextStorage}'s {@code ContextStorageMode.THREAD} + * fallback (the default on JDK 21+ without {@code --add-exports + * java.base/jdk.internal.misc=ALL-UNNAMED}). Under that mode the {@code DirectByteBuffer} conduit + * for a virtual thread's OTEL context is cached in a plain {@code ThreadLocal} the first time the + * thread writes context, bound to whichever carrier happened to be mounted at that moment; the + * conduit wraps memory embedded directly inside that carrier's native {@code ProfiledThread} + * (see {@code threadLocalData.h}), which is {@code delete}d — a real {@code free()} — the moment + * the carrier's JVMTI {@code ThreadEnd} fires. The nested-op loop in {@link #runCascadeNode} races + * this cheaply: write, force a short real unmount via {@link #forceUnmount}, write again — if the + * virtual thread was remounted elsewhere, the second write lands on the stale buffer. + * + *

Catching genuine memory reuse (not just misattribution) needs the original carrier + * to actually be torn down first. The JDK's default virtual-thread scheduler is a + * {@code ForkJoinPool} built with {@code corePoolSize=0} and a 30s keep-alive (see + * {@code java.lang.VirtualThread#createDefaultScheduler()}) — every carrier, not just + * compensating ones, is reaped after 30s with nothing runnable. {@link #driverLoop} therefore + * runs a duty cycle: a short active burst (cascades, pin churn, and a batch of long-sleeping + * {@link #runStaleBufferRacer} threads) followed by a quiet phase with no new work, long enough + * for carriers to actually go idle and exit. Each racer writes context once, sleeps past the + * 30s keep-alive, then writes again on the far side of the quiet phase — by then its original + * carrier is very likely gone, and under sustained allocation churn from the rest of the harness + * its freed {@code ProfiledThread} memory may already belong to a different, live carrier. + * + *

Reflectively detects {@code Thread.ofVirtual()} (Java 21+); gracefully no-ops on older + * runtimes.

New `_ut.cpp` files are + auto-discovered by the test glob (`doc/build/NativeBuildPlugin.md:365`). + +**Exit criteria:** flag parses, subsystem starts/stops cleanly, one green gtest, no +JVMTI capability or callback changes yet. + +### Phase 1 — JVMTI wiring: GC signal + tag lifecycle + +**Goal:** get a cheap "a GC just happened" signal into `ReferenceChainTracker`, and +confirm tag assign/clear/resolve works end-to-end, before any BFS logic exists. + +- `can_tag_objects` and `can_generate_garbage_collection_events` are **already + requested** unconditionally at `vmEntry.cpp:477,484` — no capability changes needed. +- Add a `GarbageCollectionStart` callback. Today only `GarbageCollectionFinish` is wired + (`vmEntry.cpp:502`, pointing at `LivenessTracker::GarbageCollectionFinish`); the + `GarbageCollectionStart` slot in the same `jvmtiEventCallbacks callbacks` struct is + currently unset. Add + `callbacks.GarbageCollectionStart = ReferenceChainTracker::GarbageCollectionStart;` + next to the existing line, and a `GarbageCollectionFinish` counterpart that chains to + `ReferenceChainTracker::GarbageCollectionFinish` *in addition to* the existing + `LivenessTracker` call (both subsystems need the Finish event; do not clobber the + existing registration — dispatch to both from a single trampoline function, or check + whether the callback table supports only one function pointer per event and wrap it if + so — verify current single-slot behavior against `vmEntry.cpp` around line 502 before + writing this callback, since only one function pointer wins today). +- Per the design doc's corrected mechanism, this callback does **only** the same + cheap thing `LivenessTracker::onGC()` does today (`livenessTracker.cpp:415-426`): + bump an atomic epoch/"GC happened" flag. It must **not** call `SetTag`/`GetTag`/ + `FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` — those are JVMTI Heap-category functions, + disallowed inside this callback per the JVMTI spec (cited in the design doc's + Triggering section). Enforce this with a comment and, if feasible, a debug-only assert + that no Heap-category call happens on this call stack. +- Event enablement: follow `LivenessTracker::start()`'s lazy-enable pattern + (`livenessTracker.cpp:194-196`) — call `SetEventNotificationMode(JVMTI_ENABLE, ...)` + for both `JVMTI_EVENT_GARBAGE_COLLECTION_START` and `_FINISH` only when + `ReferenceChainTracker::start()` runs with the flag on, not unconditionally at agent + init. +- Add a minimal tag helper: `SetTag(obj, next_tag())` / `GetTag` / clear-on-abandon + (`SetTag(obj, 0)`, per the design doc's Termination section). No frontier/table logic + yet — this phase just proves tag round-tripping survives a GC (write a gtest that + allocates an object, tags it, forces a GC, and confirms the tag is still readable via + `GetObjectsWithTags`). + +**Exit criteria:** GC-start/finish signal increments a counter; a tagged object's tag +survives a GC; no Heap-category JVMTI call happens inside either callback (verified by +code review, not just tests, since this is a spec violation with no runtime crash signal +on most JVMs). + +### Phase 2 — Frontier metadata table (the `LivenessTracker`-pattern reuse) + +**Goal:** build the tag-indexed slot table that stores `(parent_tag, referrer_klass, +depth)`, before any BFS logic uses it, so it can be tested in isolation. + +- Per the design doc's "Frontier metadata storage" section, model this directly on + `LivenessTracker`'s `TrackingEntry` (`livenessTracker.h:21-30`) and its CAS-based + slot allocation / doubling resize (`livenessTracker.cpp:213-278,362-403`) and + `SpinLock` locking (`livenessTracker.h:46`, `spinLock.h`). Key structural difference: + the index is the **tag value itself** (assigned sequentially by this subsystem when a + frontier object is first tagged), not a `jweak`-derived slot. +- New struct, e.g. in `referenceChains.h`: + ```cpp + typedef struct FrontierEntry { + jlong parent_tag; + jclass referrer_klass; // or a resolved klass-name id, see below + u32 depth; + u8 state; // FRONTIER | EXPANDED | EDGE | ABANDONED — see Phase 3 + } FrontierEntry; + ``` + Do **not** store a live `jclass`/`jobject` reference in the table — per the design + doc's non-retention property, storing a strong reference here would defeat the whole + point of using non-retaining tags. Store a resolved class-name string/symbol id + (interned once, e.g. via this codebase's existing dictionary/symbol-interning + mechanism — reuse it rather than adding a second string table; identify the exact + class to reuse during this phase, e.g. `Dictionary`/`SymbolTable` if one already + exists in `ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/`) instead of a class handle. +- Do **not** copy `LivenessTracker`'s sizing formula (`max_heap / sampling_interval`, + `livenessTracker.cpp:152-176`) — the design doc explicitly flags this as + non-transferable (Open Question 2). Phase 2 should take an explicit capacity + parameter (wired from the Phase 0 config flag) rather than deriving one, leaving the + actual default to Phase 5's measurement work. Reuse the doubling-resize mechanics, + not the sizing heuristic. +- Concurrency: a single agent thread drives BFS expansion (Phase 3), but table reads may + race against tag-cleanup happening from an abandonment path. Reuse `SpinLock`'s + shared/exclusive split (as `LivenessTracker` does) rather than inventing new locking. +- gtest coverage: insert/lookup/resize/clear round-trip, concurrent insert-while-resize + (mirroring whatever concurrency tests `livenessTracker_ut.cpp` already has, if any — + check and match its style), and a "capacity exhausted" path that reports (not crashes) + per the design doc's frontier-size-cap requirement. + +**Exit criteria:** table supports insert/lookup/clear/resize under concurrent access, +verified by gtest; no BFS logic yet. + +### Phase 3 — Single-pass bounded BFS engine (no persistence across passes yet) + +**Goal:** implement one BFS pass from GC roots to a fixed budget, using +`FollowReferences` (or `IterateThroughHeap` if that fits the referrer-only requirement +better — decide based on which JVMTI call actually gives referrer-class information at +lowest overhead; `FollowReferences` is the design doc's stated choice, mirroring JFR's +leak profiler, so start there) — but treat it as a single, non-resumable pass for this +phase, i.e. defer cross-pass frontier persistence to Phase 4. This isolates "does the +BFS/EdgeStore logic work at all" from "does resumption work," per the design doc's own +staging of Approach B before its incremental refinement. + +- Thread: an agent-owned thread, not a JVM mutator. Reuse the `attachThread`/ + `detachThread` pattern (`vmEntry.h:191-197`) exactly as `J9WallClock` does + (`j9WallClock.cpp:46,53-57,81`) for `pthread_create`/`pthread_kill`/`pthread_join` + lifecycle, and `VM::attachThread("java-profiler ReferenceChains")` for + `AttachCurrentThreadAsDaemon`. Confirm during implementation whether this thread needs + a real `JNIEnv*` at all (JVMTI heap-walk calls take a `jvmtiEnv*`, not `JNIEnv*`) — if + no JNI call is made from this thread (e.g. class-name resolution can go through + `jvmtiEnv->GetClassSignature` instead of a JNI call), prefer the lighter-weight + `BaseWallClock`-style thread with no JNI attach (`wallClock.cpp:317-331`), matching the + design doc's own note that this avoids unnecessary JNI dependency. +- Implement the `jvmtiHeapCallbacks`/`jvmtiHeapReferenceCallback` needed by + `FollowReferences`, filtering to tagged frontier objects and recording + `(referrer_klass, parent_tag, depth)` into the Phase 2 table when an edge is + discovered. Respect the design doc's Algorithm steps 1-4 (seed from roots, resolve + live tagged objects, expand up to a fixed per-pass budget, tag newly discovered + objects) — but for this phase, run to completion or hop-cap within one pass (no + persist-and-return yet). +- EdgeStore construction: walk `parent_tag` links from a target sample's tag back to a + root-reachable entry, per the design doc's Data Structures section, to produce the + final referrer-type chain. +- Enforce the hop cap (design doc: mirror the ~200/100-100 JFR precedent, but tunable + via Phase 0's flag) directly in the callback — abort expansion past the cap rather + than discovering-then-discarding. +- gtest coverage: build a small live-object graph in a test JVM (via JNI from the test), + run a pass, and assert the reconstructed referrer-type chain matches the known graph + shape. Use `livenessTracker_ut.cpp`'s fixture style as a template. + +**Exit criteria:** a single bounded BFS pass correctly reconstructs a referrer-type +chain for a small synthetic object graph, with a hop cap enforced. + +### Phase 4 — Incremental resumption across passes + +**Goal:** the actual "chosen design" novelty — persist frontier state across passes so +no single pass needs to cover the whole search. + +- Persist the Phase 2/3 frontier state in agent-owned native memory (not thread-local + scratch, per the design doc's Algorithm step 5) so a later pass — potentially + triggered by a different invocation of the BFS thread's main loop — can resume from + where the last one left off. +- Wire the Phase 1 GC-signal (epoch counter) as the trigger to schedule the next pass: + the BFS thread's main loop wakes (timer-driven, matching `BaseWallClock`'s + `pthread_kill(WAKEUP_SIGNAL)` wake mechanism) when either a fixed cadence elapses or + the GC-epoch counter has advanced since the last pass, per Open Question 5's two + candidate policies — implement both behind the Phase 0 flag's sub-options so this can + be measured rather than guessed (see Phase 5). +- Implement resolve-or-drop for frontier objects at the start of each resumed pass + (design doc Algorithm step 2): a tag that no longer resolves via `GetObjectsWithTags` + is dead and its subtree is pruned for free — no extra bookkeeping. +- Implement the full Termination section from the design doc: + - Hop cap (already enforced per-pass in Phase 3; confirm it also holds across + resumed passes, i.e. `depth` in `FrontierEntry` must carry over correctly). + - Passes-per-search / wall-clock TTL cutoff. + - Frontier-size/memory cap — stop admitting new entries once hit, mark the search + abandoned/truncated rather than silently dropping. + - Explicit abandoned-search reporting (no silent truncation) — this needs a + reporting surface; see Phase 6 for the JFR event that carries this signal. + - Tag release on abandonment/completion (`SetTag(obj, 0)` for every tag the search + owns) before its table entries are freed — verify no tag leak across repeated + abandoned searches via a longevity gtest (run N searches to abandonment, assert + `GetObjectsWithTags` count returns to baseline). + +**Exit criteria:** a search that would exceed one pass's budget correctly resumes across +multiple passes and still reconstructs the right chain; an abandoned search cleans up +its tags completely (no leak). + +### Phase 5 — Tuning and cutover from placeholders + +**Goal:** replace every "TBD, needs measurement" placeholder from Phase 0-4 with a real +default, per Open Question 2 in the design doc. + +- **Harness**: drive this with the repo's existing `java-performance-investigator` + agent/workflow (JMH-benchmark design + async-profiler validation), not an ad-hoc + script — it already owns "design/validate a benchmark, run it, profile it, interpret + results" for this codebase. Build a synthetic heap-graph generator (extend the + Phase 3 test graph rather than writing a second one) parameterized by size, fan-out, + and chain depth, so the same generator seeds both the benchmark and the Phase 3/4/7 + tests. +- **Heap-shape matrix**: at minimum, cross {narrow-deep chain, wide-shallow fan-out, + mixed} × {G1, ZGC} × {small (~256MB live set), large (~4GB live set)} — collector + choice matters here because the transparent-safepoint cost `FollowReferences`/ + `IterateThroughHeap` incurs is collector-dependent (per the design doc's Triggering + section citing per-collector `VM_Operation` assert sites). Shenandoah is a stretch + goal, not a blocker, if the matrix above already shows a consistent trend. +- For each cell, measure and record: per-pass wall-clock pause distribution (p50/p99), + passes needed to reach a target sample at various depths, and frontier-table peak + occupancy — from these, pick: per-pass budget (edge count vs. time slice), hop cap + default, passes/TTL abandonment cutoff, frontier-size/memory cap, and the frontier + table's initial capacity and growth ceiling (this subsystem's analog of + `MAX_TRACKING_TABLE_SIZE`, `livenessTracker.h:39`, but derived from the graph-search + model, not the allocation sample-rate model). +- **Decision rule, not just data**: a placeholder only counts as "resolved" once a + specific value is chosen and the measurement that justified it is written down (see + Exit criteria) — collecting numbers without picking a default does not close this + phase. +- Resolve Open Question 3 (one search per sample vs. batched multi-target BFS sharing a + frontier) empirically if time permits; otherwise ship the simpler one-search-per- + sample model first and note batching as explicit future work, consistent with the + design doc's non-goals framing (don't silently expand scope). +- Resolve Open Question 5's pass-scheduling policy with a real cost model: using the + same harness/matrix above, measure safepoints/second and per-pause duration at the + candidate cadence, and compare the resulting p99 pause against a single-pass + (non-incremental) run covering the same total work. The design doc's claim is a + latency-*distribution* win, not a total-STW win — so the bar to clear is "p99 pause + drops materially versus the single-pass baseline," not "aggregate STW improves" (it + is expected to be flat or worse, per the design doc's Cost/benefit summary). If the + measured p99 does *not* improve, that is a real signal to revisit the incremental + design, not a result to explain away. + +**Exit criteria:** every placeholder default is backed by a measurement, documented in +this plan (add a short "Tuning results" appendix) or in the design doc's Open Questions +section (mark each resolved with the chosen value and evidence). + +### Phase 6 — Reporting surface (JFR event) and public exposure + +**Goal:** make discovered chains (and abandoned searches) visible to consumers. + +- Follow the existing `ObjectLivenessEvent`/`datadog.HeapLiveObject` pattern exactly: + - `Event` subclass in `event.h` (cf. `ObjectLivenessEvent`, `event.h:83-90`) holding + the reconstructed chain (e.g. an ordered list of referrer-klass ids/names, target + sample identity, depth reached, resolved/abandoned status). + - New `T_xxx` id in `jfrMetadata.h` (cf. `T_HEAP_LIVE_OBJECT = 105`, + `jfrMetadata.h:60`). + - Schema block in `jfrMetadata.cpp` (cf. lines 174-186) — likely two event types: + one for a successfully reconstructed chain, one for an abandoned/truncated search + (per the design doc's explicit "no silent truncation" requirement — this needs its + own visible signal, not a reused success-event with a null field). + - `Recording::recordXxx` writer in `flightRecorder.cpp`/`.h` (cf. + `recordHeapLiveObject`, `flightRecorder.cpp:1914-1934`), plus a boolean setting + event following `writeBoolSetting(buf, T_HEAP_LIVE_OBJECT, "enabled", ...)` + (`flightRecorder.cpp:1142`). + - Every field/comment in the new event's JFR label/description must describe only + what the code actually produces (referrer-type sequence, best-effort, historical — + per the design doc's Correctness Note) — do not word it as an exact/complete + retainer path. +- Decide (does not block Phase 0-5) whether any Java-side API surface is needed beyond + "the JFR event exists and can be read by existing tooling," or whether this is + JFR-only like `LivenessTracker`'s output. Default to JFR-only unless a concrete + consumer requires a Java API — keep scope minimal per this codebase's stated + allocation-free/minimal-surface preference. + +**Exit criteria:** a successfully reconstructed chain and an abandoned search each +produce a distinct, correctly labeled JFR event; existing JFR tooling in this repo can +read both. + +### Phase 7 — End-to-end test and documentation + +- Java-side integration test modeled on + `ddprof-test/src/test/java/com/datadoghq/profiler/memleak/LivenessTrackingTest.java` + (`AbstractProfilerTest` subclass, `@RetryingTest`, JFR-parsing assertions via + `JfrLoaderToolkit`) — construct a live object graph with a known referrer-type chain + to a GC root, enable the new flag, and assert the emitted JFR event's chain matches. +- Add a second test exercising the abandonment path (e.g. artificially tiny hop cap or + frontier-size cap) asserting the abandoned-search event fires instead of silent + truncation. +- Update the design doc's Open Questions section to mark every question resolved with + its shipped value (cross-reference Phase 5), and add a short "Implemented" status + note at the top of the design doc pointing at this plan and the shipping flag name. + +**Exit criteria:** CI-green end-to-end test for both the success and abandonment paths; +design doc and this plan cross-reference the final shipped state. + +## Open items to resolve before starting Phase 1 + +These are implementation-plan-level details the design doc doesn't pin down and which +block Phase 1/2 specifics — resolve during Phase 0/1, not before, since they need a +quick look at current code rather than up-front research: + +1. **Single vs. multi-callback slot**: confirm whether `jvmtiEventCallbacks` allows + only one function pointer per event (it does — it's a flat struct with one field per + event type) and design the `GarbageCollectionFinish` trampoline so both + `LivenessTracker` and `ReferenceChainTracker` get the signal without one subsystem's + future removal silently breaking the other's wiring. +2. **Class-name interning**: identify whether an existing symbol/string dictionary in + `ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/` should be reused for `referrer_klass` storage in + `FrontierEntry` (Phase 2) instead of a bespoke string table or a raw `jclass` — avoid + inventing a second interning mechanism if one already exists (e.g. this codebase's + existing class-name dictionary used for stack-trace symbolization). +3. **`FollowReferences` vs. `IterateThroughHeap`**: Phase 3 should do a short spike + comparing which JVMTI call gives referrer-class info most cheaply for this + referrer-type-only use case before committing — the design doc assumes + `FollowReferences` (mirroring JFR) but doesn't rule out `IterateThroughHeap` being + cheaper for a referrer-type-only (not identity-level) use case. + +## Non-goals (carried over from the design doc, restated for implementers) + +- No exhaustive all-GC-roots search, no field-level chains, no GC-internal-closure + hooks, no `ParallelObjectIterator` use — none of these should appear as incidental + scope creep in any phase above.

No single column dominates the decision; see the per-approach rationale below for why B was chosen despite not scoring highest on every column. + +\* This 3/5 reflects only the single-pass BFS sketched at selection time. The "Chosen +design" section below replaces that sketch with an incremental, resumable BFS +(JVMTI-tag-based frontier persistence across GC cycles, an agent-thread-driven pass that +gets its safepoint transparently from the JVMTI heap-walk call it makes, GC-callback +signaling, and explicit termination/tag-cleanup bookkeeping), which is materially more +complex than this score suggests — closer to 4/5 in implementation and maintenance +effort. The score is left unchanged above (it documents the state of the comparison at +decision time) rather than retroactively edited. + +### A — Full reverse-reachability walk (rejected) + +Safepoint length scales with live-set size regardless of how the walk is triggered. +Modern regionalized collectors (G1, Shenandoah) rarely perform a true full-heap walk +during ordinary major GCs, so "ride an already-paid pause" is not a reliable amortization +strategy. Cost is fundamentally at odds with the "short safepoint" constraint. + +### B — Bounded BFS-from-roots (chosen) + +Mirrors OpenJDK's own `jdk.OldObjectSample` leak-profiler implementation +(`src/hotspot/share/jfr/leakprofiler/chains/{edgeStore,bfsClosure,dfsClosure}.cpp`): +a `VM_Operation`-driven BFS from GC roots, retaining only edges on the frontier toward a +small, fixed sample set, with a hard hop cap (HotSpot itself caps chains at ~200 hops, +split 100/100 from leaf and from root). We can go cheaper than JFR because only the +**referrer class**, not object identity or field name, is needed — the `EdgeStore` +degenerates to `(referrer_klass, parent_tag, depth)` records, where `parent_tag` links +each record back to the record that discovered it, enabling chain reconstruction. + +Adopting this pattern is a re-scoping of proven, shipping HotSpot code, not a novel +algorithm design. + +### C — GC mark/copy closure piggyback (rejected) + +Investigated specifically for G1 and ZGC on the premise that per-edge referrer +information is already available inside the collector's own marking/evacuation closures +(`G1ParCopyClosure::do_oop_work`, ZGC's `ZMarkConcurrentRootsIteratorClosure` / +load-barrier closures), so recording it would cost nothing beyond what the GC already +pays. + +Rejected because there is no stable, externally reachable hook into these closures: + +- They are internal, template-instantiated C++ classes compiled into `libjvm.so` at + HotSpot build time — not a registrable/pluggable extension point. +- This differs categorically from `VMStructs`-style introspection already used in this + codebase (`ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/hotspot/vmStructs.cpp`), which reads VM state + passively via an officially exported offset table. Intercepting a GC closure's + *behavior* would require either shipping a patched OpenJDK build (a fork/maintenance + commitment far beyond anything in this codebase) or binary-patching unversioned, + per-build-mangled function addresses — not shippable across JDK point releases. + +A related idea — using HotSpot's internal `ParallelObjectIterator` +(landed via [JDK-8322043](https://www.mail-archive.com/serviceability-dev@openjdk.org/msg12977.html), +used by `VM_HeapDumper` to partition heap regions across GC worker threads for parallel +heap dumping) to shrink Approach B's safepoint by parallelizing the walk — was also +investigated. Same verdict: it is an internal C++ class, not exposed via JVMTI, with no +stable ABI for an attached agent to call. Symbol-sniffing internal HotSpot functions *is* +an established pattern in this codebase (`VMStructs::findHeapUsageFunc`, +`vmStructs.cpp:489-509`), but that precedent covers a single leaf virtual method with a +value/POD-ish return; `ParallelObjectIterator` is a multi-class subsystem that coordinates +the VM's own GC worker threads under safepoint control — an order of magnitude larger +fragility surface, with a much higher blast radius if a layout assumption is wrong (GC +worker-thread coordination corruption vs. a bad JMX stat). Not pursued as a launch +requirement; revisit only if Approach B's single-threaded pause proves to be a measured +bottleneck, and treat it as an isolated, heavily version/flag-gated fast path with +automatic fallback — never a dependency. + +## Chosen design: incremental, resumable bounded BFS + +A single-pass bounded BFS still means one pause sized to whatever budget is configured. +The refinement below spreads that budget across multiple short passes instead of one +contiguous one, trading a possibly-higher *aggregate* STW total for a much better +*latency distribution* — no single long tail pause. + +### Why the frontier can survive across passes: JVMTI object tags + +The obstacle to pausing and resuming a BFS is that the frontier (the worklist of +not-yet-expanded objects) is normally a set of raw addresses, and a moving/compacting GC +between passes can relocate or collect any of them. + +JVMTI object tags solve this: + +- Tags are identity-based and GC-move-transparent — a tagged object can be re-resolved + after a GC regardless of where it moved. +- Tags are **non-retaining** — tagging does not keep an object alive. This is a *new* + subsystem dependency, not a reuse of one: the existing live-object sampler + (`LivenessTracker`, `livenessTracker.cpp`) does not use JVMTI tags at all — it + correlates sampled objects via JNI weak global references (`NewWeakGlobalRef`) held in + its own index table with its own locking and GC-triggered cleanup + (`livenessTracker.cpp:327-357`, `:53-70`). Non-retention is a property both mechanisms + happen to share, not evidence that this reuses proven infrastructure. +- **Investigated replacing tags outright with `LivenessTracker`'s weak-ref + index-table + pattern — resolved as "adopt the table pattern, keep the tags."** The pattern cannot + fully substitute for tags: `FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` (the calls that + actually discover a frontier object's referrers) can filter/report against a *tagged* + object set natively; a JNI weak-ref table has no hook into that machinery, so the + frontier-discovery step would still need tagged objects regardless of what stores the + metadata. What the investigation *does* carry over: `LivenessTracker`'s proven + `TrackingEntry`-style slot table — CAS-based index allocation, a signal-safe `SpinLock` + (`spinLock.h`), doubling-resize, and GC-epoch-triggered cleanup + (`livenessTracker.cpp:152-176`, `:213-278`, `:369-409`) — is a better-precedented design + for the frontier's *metadata* storage than inventing one from scratch, since a JVMTI tag + is a single `jlong` with no room for `(parent_tag, referrer_klass, depth)` on its own. + Recommendation: use the tag as an index into a `TrackingEntry`-style table (fields: + `parent_tag`, `referrer_klass`, `depth`) rather than encoding all three into the tag + value or a from-scratch hashmap. See "Frontier metadata storage" below and Open + Question 4. +- Non-retention gives incremental resumption a useful side effect for free: if a frontier + object dies between passes, it simply fails to re-resolve on the next pass. That branch + of the search is pruned automatically, with no extra liveness bookkeeping required. + +### Data structures + +- **Frontier**: a set of `(tag, parent_tag, referrer_klass, depth)` records. `tag` is the + JVMTI tag assigned to a not-yet-expanded object; `parent_tag` links back for chain + reconstruction; `depth` supports the hop cap. +- **EdgeStore**: accumulates `(referrer_klass, parent_tag, depth)` per discovered edge for + objects that are on a path toward a target sample. Keyed by tag, not address — + degenerate relative to JFR's `EdgeStore` since object identity/field names are not + required, but it retains the same `parent_tag` linkage field as the Frontier so a chain + can be walked back from a target sample to a root by following `parent_tag` across + EdgeStore records. + +### Frontier metadata storage: reusing `LivenessTracker`'s table pattern + +A JVMTI tag is one `jlong` — it can identify a frontier object and make it visible to +`FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap`, but it cannot itself hold the three fields +(`parent_tag`, `referrer_klass`, `depth`) each Frontier/EdgeStore record needs. Two ways +to close that gap were considered: + +1. Build a bespoke hashmap keyed by tag value, from scratch. +2. Reuse `LivenessTracker`'s existing slot-table design (`livenessTracker.h:21-30` + `TrackingEntry`, `livenessTracker.cpp:152-176` sizing, `:213-278`/`:369-409` CAS slot + allocation and doubling resize, `spinLock.h`'s signal-safe `SpinLock`), using the tag + value as the slot index instead of a `jweak` as the identity handle. + +(2) is the better-precedented choice — it's shipping code, already exercises the exact +"per-slot payload, GC-cycle-driven cleanup, contention-safe locking" shape this needs — +provided the sizing formula is **not** copied as-is. `LivenessTracker` sizes its table +from `max_heap / sampling_interval` (a flat allocation-sample rate, +`livenessTracker.cpp:152-176`, capped at `MAX_TRACKING_TABLE_SIZE = 262144`, +`livenessTracker.h:39`); a BFS frontier's width is driven by per-hop fan-out in the object +graph, not by an allocation rate, and multiple concurrent searches (one per live-heap +sample being chased, see Open Question 3) each need their own capacity — the existing +formula does not transfer and a new one is an open question (folded into Open Question 2). + +### Algorithm + +1. Seed the frontier from GC roots (first pass) or from the persisted frontier + (resumed pass). +2. Resolve currently-live tagged frontier objects. Objects that fail to resolve are + dropped (dead — free pruning). +3. Expand the frontier up to a fixed per-pass budget (edge count or time slice). +4. Newly discovered objects are tagged and added to the frontier for the next pass. +5. Persist the frontier (native memory owned by the agent, not thread-local scratch) and + return control to the VM. +6. Repeat until: a target sample is reached, the hop cap is hit, or a per-search + abandonment limit (see Termination) is exceeded. + +### Triggering passes: resolved — the profiler never schedules its own safepoint + +Investigated whether pass-continuation work could ride the JVMTI +`GarbageCollectionStart`/`GarbageCollectionFinish` callbacks — the same callback this +codebase already uses to call `_heap_usage_func` (`vmStructs.cpp`) — instead of each pass +paying for its own safepoint. + +**Correction to an earlier framing in this doc**: a pass does not run "inside a dedicated +`VM_Operation::doit()`" that the profiler constructs — HotSpot's `VM_Operation`/ +`VMThread::execute()` machinery is internal, unexported C++ with no agent-facing entry +point; nothing outside HotSpot can submit one. What actually happens, confirmed against +`src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmtiTagMap.cpp` and `jvmtiEnv.cpp`: +`SetTag`/`GetTag` need no safepoint at all — they take only a `MutexLocker` over a +JVM-internal "hot lock" on the tag map. `FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` **do** +bring the VM to a safepoint, but the JVM does this internally and transparently +(`VM_HeapWalkOperation`/`VM_HeapIterateOperation`, dispatched via +`VMThread::execute()` *inside* HotSpot's own implementation of those calls) the moment an +ordinary attached agent thread calls them — the calling thread simply blocks until the +walk finishes. A pass is therefore: an agent-owned, already-attached thread (the same kind +`LivenessTracker` already runs on, see `livenessTracker.cpp:303-409`) calling +`FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` directly; the safepoint is a side effect of that +call, not something the profiler builds or schedules. + +**Confirmed the VM is genuinely at a safepoint (all mutators stopped) for the full +duration of both callbacks**, on every collector: + +- JVMTI spec: *"This event is sent while the VM is still stopped... the event handler + must not use JNI functions and must not use JVM TI functions except those which + specifically allow such use (see the raw monitor, memory management, and environment + local storage functions)."* +- openjdk/jdk source: delivery is synchronous on the VMThread + (`src/hotspot/share/prims/jvmtiExport.cpp:2752-2790`, comment *"this event is posted + from VM-Thread"*); every call site is inside a safepoint-executing `VM_Operation::doit()`, + backed by explicit asserts — e.g. Parallel GC's + `assert(SafepointSynchronize::is_at_safepoint())` (`gc/parallel/psScavenge.cpp:305-306`), + G1's `assert_at_safepoint_on_vm_thread()` (`gc/g1/g1VMOperations.cpp:141-157`), + Shenandoah and ZGC wrapping the same `SvcGCMarker` only inside their respective + `VM_Operation`/`VM_ZOperation::doit()` paths. Stable JDK 11 → mainline, across + Serial/Parallel/G1/Shenandoah/ZGC. + +**But this does not make the GC-triggered callback itself usable as the execution vehicle +for a pass.** The "functions which specifically allow such use" are exactly two: +`Allocate` and `Deallocate` (the entire **Memory Management** category). `SetTag`, +`GetTag`, `GetObjectsWithTags`, `FollowReferences`, and `IterateThroughHeap` are all in +the **Heap** category, which is *not* on that allowlist — calling any of them from inside +`GarbageCollectionStart`/`Finish` is exactly what the restriction forbids. The spec's own +prescribed escape hatch — notify a raw monitor from the callback, do the real work on a +separate agent thread — doesn't preserve "the pass rides the GC's own pause" property +either: the woken agent thread runs after the GC's collection pause has already ended +(mutators resumed), so calling `FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` there triggers a +**new**, separate safepoint of its own (per the corrected mechanism above) rather than +reusing the GC's. + +The only way to fold the tag/walk work into the GC's own STW window would be to bypass +the official JVMTI entry points and reach into HotSpot's internal `JvmtiTagMap` directly +via symbol-sniffing — reintroducing exactly the fragility class already rejected for +Approach C (unversioned internal C++ state, no stable ABI). Doing that here would undo +the reason C was rejected. + +**Conclusion: "no new marginal safepoints" is not achievable while staying within +official JVMTI usage.** Each pass still triggers its own safepoint — transparently, via +whichever agent thread calls `FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` for that pass, not +via anything the profiler schedules itself. The GC callbacks remain useful only as a +low-cost *signal* ("a GC just happened, a pass may be worth running soon") — not as the +execution vehicle for the pass itself. This does not change the core incremental design +(frontier persistence via JVMTI tags, self-pruning of dead branches, per-pass budget) — +it only removes the "zero marginal safepoints" claim from the cost/benefit case. The +design's actual value remains what it was framed as: trading one long pause for several +short, independently-triggered ones — a latency-distribution improvement, not a +total-STW reduction. + +### Termination and abandonment + +Because passes are spread across a mutating heap, a search that never reaches a root or +the hop cap could otherwise persist indefinitely, accumulating abandoned frontier state +across GC cycles. Required cutoffs: + +- Hop cap (as in Approach B's single-pass form). +- A hard cap on passes-per-search or wall-clock TTL from first observation (value TBD — + see Open Question 2). +- Explicit reporting of abandoned searches (no silent truncation) so this shows up as a + measurable "chain not found within budget" outcome rather than being indistinguishable + from "no chain exists." +- Tag release: on abandonment or completion, every JVMTI tag this search assigned to + frontier/`EdgeStore` objects (`SetTag(obj, 0)`) must be cleared before the search's + state is discarded. Without this, an abandoned search leaves its tags in place + indefinitely, directly aggravating the tag-table sizing/contention risk raised in + Open Question 4. +- A hard cap on frontier size (record count or native-memory footprint). The hop cap and + pass/TTL cap bound how *long* a search runs, but not how *wide* the frontier can grow + within that time — a wide fan-out graph could accumulate an unbounded number of + `(tag, parent_tag, referrer_klass, depth)` records before either cutoff is hit. When + the cap is reached, stop admitting new frontier entries for that search and report it + as an abandoned/truncated search (value TBD — see Open Question 2). + +### Correctness note: chains are historical, not a single consistent snapshot + +A chain built across multiple passes stitches together `"A referenced B"` facts observed +at different points in time, not one frozen graph. For the stated purpose — explaining, +by referrer type, what typically retains this class of surviving object — this is +sufficient, and is not meaningfully weaker than a single-pass walk: GC roots (e.g. thread +stack frames) are themselves a live-changing set across a single pause's boundary, so +"one true snapshot" is already an approximation in the single-pass case. Any +documentation or output surface built on this must describe results as an **observed** +retaining path, not a claim about the object's current exact retention state. + +### Cost/benefit summary + +- **Does not reduce total STW time.** Each safepoint/callback entry pays fixed + synchronization overhead; K short increments likely sum to equal or *more* aggregate + pause time than one contiguous walk covering the same work. +- **Improves latency distribution.** No single long tail pause — the thing most likely to + actually affect deployed application health (p99 latency, heartbeat timeouts), even + when total accumulated pause-ms is flat or slightly worse. + +## Non-goals + +- Exhaustive paths to all GC roots. +- Field-level or object-identity-level chains (referrer *type* only). +- Any GC-internal-closure hook (Approach C) or internal parallel-iteration API use as a + launch dependency. + +## Open questions before implementation + +1. ~~Confirm `GarbageCollectionStart`/`GarbageCollectionFinish` callback timing relative to + safepoint release.~~ **Resolved** (see Triggering section): the callback is genuinely + at a safepoint, but the JVMTI Heap-category functions needed to do frontier work + (`SetTag`/`GetTag`/`FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap`) are not in the callback's + allowed function set. Each pass instead triggers its own safepoint transparently, via + whichever agent thread calls `FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` for that pass — + the profiler never constructs a `VM_Operation` itself (see correction in Triggering + section). The "no new marginal safepoints" framing is dropped; the design's value is + latency distribution, not total-STW reduction. +2. Choose per-pass budget defaults (edge count vs. time slice), hop cap, the + passes-per-search/wall-clock TTL abandonment cutoff, and the frontier-size/memory cap + (see Termination and "Frontier metadata storage") — needs measurement against + representative heap shapes and per-hop fan-out, not a guess; `LivenessTracker`'s + flat-sample-rate sizing formula does not transfer to a graph-search frontier. + **Not resolved — provisional defaults only, no measurement has occurred.** The + implementation currently ships explicitly-labeled "provisional default pending Phase 5 + empirical tuning" constants (`arguments.h`: `DEFAULT_REFERENCE_CHAINS_HOP_CAP = 200`, + citing this doc's own JFR ~200-hop/100-100 precedent; `DEFAULT_REFERENCE_CHAINS_BUDGET + = 1000`; `DEFAULT_REFERENCE_CHAINS_TTL_MS = 60000`; `DEFAULT_REFERENCE_CHAINS_FRONTIER_CAP + = 65536`, sized as a fraction of `LivenessTracker::MAX_TRACKING_TABLE_SIZE` rather than + derived from any BFS-specific measurement; plus `referenceChains.h`'s + `FrontierTable::INITIAL_TABLE_CAPACITY = 1024` and + `ReferenceChainTracker::PASS_CADENCE_NS` = 1 s). These let the subsystem run and be + tested end-to-end, but none are backed by a benchmark against this codebase — do not + describe them as measured. The real resolution path is + [LiveHeapReferenceChains-BenchmarkPlan.md](LiveHeapReferenceChains-BenchmarkPlan.md), + which specifies the JMH/async-profiler matrix and decision rule Phase 5 still needs to + execute; this question stays open until that plan is actually run. +3. Decide the sample-batching policy: one incremental search per live-heap sample, or + batched multi-target BFS sharing a single frontier walk (batching amortizes better but + couples unrelated samples' termination conditions together). + **Shipped, but not in either form this question anticipated.** The implemented + `ReferenceChainTracker::runPass()` (referenceChains.cpp) does not target any sample at + all: it runs a single, singleton-owned search that walks the whole root-reachable graph + (bounded by the hop/budget/frontier caps) with no per-sample seeding. Reconstructing a + chain for a specific tag is a separate, read-only step (`buildChainEvent(target_tag, ...)`) + applied after (or during) that one shared search - closer in spirit to "batched" (one + frontier walk can answer for many targets) than "one search per sample", but arrived at + by omission (no target-sample feed exists yet, see the Implementation status note above + and the implementation plan's Phase 7 report) rather than a deliberate batching design. + Whether this generalizes to true multi-target batching (explicit seeding from multiple + samples, coordinated termination) is still open and deferred, consistent with this + question's original framing. +4. ~~Decide whether the frontier should use JVMTI object tags at all, or adopt + `LivenessTracker`'s weak-ref + index-table pattern instead.~~ **Resolved** (see + "Frontier metadata storage"): tags stay, because `FollowReferences`/ + `IterateThroughHeap` need tagged objects to filter/report frontier membership and a + weak-ref table has no hook into that machinery — but the per-tag *metadata* + (`parent_tag`, `referrer_klass`, `depth`) should be stored in a + `LivenessTracker`-style slot table (tag value as index) rather than a bespoke + structure, reusing its proven `SpinLock`/CAS-allocation/resize code. Remaining open + item: the table-sizing formula, folded into Open Question 2. +5. Decide the actual pass-scheduling policy now that GC callbacks can only be a signal, + not a vehicle: e.g. a background agent thread woken by the GC-callback signal that + then calls `FollowReferences`/`IterateThroughHeap` for the next pass (paying its own + transparent safepoint), vs. a fixed-cadence timer independent of GC activity. Needs a + cost model for how many such safepoints per second are acceptable before this stops + being "more palatable" than one larger pause. + **A decision shipped, but not the cost-modeled one this question asks for.** + `ReferenceChainTracker::shouldRunPass()` (referenceChains.cpp) combines both candidates + rather than choosing between them: it triggers a pass when the GC-finish epoch has + advanced since the last pass, *or* a fixed `PASS_CADENCE_NS` (1 second, explicitly + labeled provisional in `referenceChains.h`) has elapsed, whichever comes first. No + safepoints-per-second/per-pause-duration measurement backs the 1-second cadence value - + it was chosen only so an idle search still makes progress without polling tightly. The + cost model this question actually asks for is still open, deferred to Phase 5's + benchmark plan ([LiveHeapReferenceChains-BenchmarkPlan.md](LiveHeapReferenceChains-BenchmarkPlan.md)), + which has not been run.

If a candidate object is pre-tagged via +`SetTag` *before* the walk reaches it, `*tag_ptr` is already non-zero when the callback fires for +it, so the `*tag_ptr == 0` branch is skipped entirely — the real referrer edge (`parent_tag`, +`depth`) is never recorded, and the object is silently treated as if it were already a +previously-discovered, root-level entry. Reconstructing a chain from that tag would report an +empty/root chain regardless of the object's actual retention path — wrong, not just imprecise. + +The fix is simpler than the original proposal, not more complex: `runPass()` already walks and +tags the **entire** root-reachable graph unconditionally (design doc's Implementation status +note: *"it runs a single, singleton-owned search that walks the whole root-reachable graph... +with no per-sample seeding"*).

The cost-modeled "how many safepoints/sec is + acceptable" question this Open Question originally asked for is answered structurally (the + controller widens cadence exactly when passes are running long relative to the configured + ceiling) rather than by a specific measured number — that number is still a + [LiveHeapReferenceChains-BenchmarkPlan.md](LiveHeapReferenceChains-BenchmarkPlan.md) item.

Adds regression test coverage for release-failure and negative-value option paths. Verified via the full ddprof-lib gtestDebug suite (149/149 tasks, 57/57 referenceChains_ut tests).

Gate on a new is_epoch_owner check instead (true once per genuinely new GC epoch, forced or not), so a forced sweep still folds a sample using an already-cached klass id. resolveKlassId() (a real Class.getName() Java upcall) still only runs on the organic path - that part was a legitimate hot-path cost concern, just misdescribed as a JVMTI safety requirement.
