This library is placed in the xawt subdirectory of jre/lib/$arch on
POSIX systems, so it isn't found automatically when third-party
libraries which depend on it are loaded. The simplest way to ensure
that it's found seems to be to just load it when the VM starts up.
In order to calculate the initial stack map of GC roots for an
exception handler, we do a logical "and" of maps across all the
instructions contained in the try block for that handler. This is
complicated by the presence of jsr/ret instructions, though, because
instructions in a subroutine may have multiple maps associated with
them corresponding to all the paths from which execution might flow to
them.
The bug in this case was that we were using an uninitialized map in
our calculation, resulting in a map with no GC roots at all. By the
time the map was initialized, the damage had already been done. The
solution is to treat an uninitialized map as if it has roots at all
positions so that it has no effect on the calculation until it has
been initialized with real data.
Hi,
I did some more tests with my x86 QNX Avian port and found one major problem
in Avian VM while trying to run Apache Ivy. The problem manifests as
follows:
1. MySystem::Thread X is created, during its creation pthread mutex and
conditional variable are initialized
2. Program runs for some time
3. MySystem Thread X is disposed, it's memory is freed (during garbage
collection I guess)
4. Program runs for some time
5. MySystem::Thread Y is created in exactly the same memory address as
MySystem::Thread X disposed in step 3 (I suppose that's due to the way
memory allocator works in Avian)
6. During MySystem::Thread Y creation pthread mutex and conditional variable
initialization fail silently with EBUSY. QNX documentation says it means
"The given mutex was previously initialized and hasn't been destroyed."
which is correct, because it's exactly in the same memory address as mutex
and conditional variable of MySystem::Thread X and they haven't been
destroyed during MySystem::Thread X disposal
Fortunately solution for this is easy, see the attached patch. Now Apache
Ivy works without any problems.

Some OSes (notably, Windows CE) restrict the size of the call stack
such that recursive compilation of branch instructions can lead to
stack overflow in methods with large numbers of such instructions. In
fact, a worst-case method could even lead to overflow when the stack
size limit is relatively generous.
The solution is to convert this recursion into iteration with an
explicit stack to maintain state about alternate paths through each
branch.
This package name must match the URL protocol we use for loading
embedded resources, but OpenJDK's URL class won't tolerate underscores
in a protocol name. Also, I had not updated the names of the native
methods in avian.avianvmresource.Handler, leading to
UnsatisfiedLinkErrors when they were called.
Commit c918cbc added a reference to ensure
sun.misc.Unsafe.getLongVolatile could be implemented efficiently on
32-bit platforms, but I forgot to update bootimage.cpp to account for
it.
Commit c918cbc added this reference to ensure
sun.misc.Unsafe.getLongVolatile could be implemented efficiently on
32-bit platforms. However, I neglected to ensure the reference was
updated to point to the final class instance instead of the temporary
one used in parseClass. This led to extra memory usage and
inconsistent locking behavior, plus broken bootimage builds.
If we don't clear these references, we risk finalizing objects which
can still be reached by one of the special reference types.
It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. We need to visit finalizable
objects before visiting weak references, since some of the weak
references and/or their targets may become reachable once the
finalizable objects are visited. However, that ordering means we have
no efficient way of distinguishing between objects which are reachable
from one or more normal GC roots and those which are only reachable
via the finalization queue. The solution is to clear all weak
references to finalizable objects before visiting them.
The original stub implementation just echoed back its argument, but
that confused URLClassLoader when dealing with sealed JARs --
returning a non-null value for a non-system class from
JVM_GetSystemPackage made URLClassloader think it had already loaded a
class from a package which was supposed to be sealed, resulting in
SecurityExceptions which ultimately triggered NoClassDefFoundErrors.
The solution is to only return non-null values for actual system
classes.
We weren't wrapping exceptions thrown by invoked methods in
InvocationTargetExceptions in JVM_InvokeMethod or
JVM_NewInstanceFromConstructor. Also, JVM_GetCallerClass is supposed
to ignore Method.invoke frames when walking the stack.
My earlier fix (f8e8609) was almost -- but not quite -- sufficient.
It asked the heap to mark the dead fixies too early, so some of them
were marked dead even though they ultimately survived, causing us to
clear weak JNI references when we shouldn't.
The existing code did not handle static field lookups for
synchronization on 32-bit systems, which is necessary because such
systems generally don't support atomic operations on 64-bit values.
Recent versions of IcedTea will not run unless libjvm.so exports this
symbol. The quick fix is to provide a stub which just always returns
-1 to indicate an error. I'll leave a proper implementation for when
we need to support an app that actually uses this function.
My earlier commit to allow detaching the main thread (1f1c3c4) seems
to have caused subtle stability problems
(e.g. https://groups.google.com/group/avian/msg/d2c797c0dcf925c3), so
for now we'll just ignore that operation, which leaks a bit of memory
but should be harmless otherwise.

My earlier attempt (fa5d76b) missed an important detail, and somehow I
forgot to test the 32-bit OpenJDK build which made that omission
obvious. Here's the fix.
resolveClass was correctly respecting throw_ == false if the requested
class was not found, but it still threw an exception if e.g. the
superclass was missing. Now we catch such exceptions and return null
as appropriate.
Some apps refuse to run if Runtime.maxMemory returns a value that's
"too small", so our stub implementation returning zero was not
sufficient. Now we return the actual heap size limit in bytes.
sun.misc.Launcher has its own idea about what the application
classloader should be, but we need to override it with the system
classloader created by the VM. This is achieved by running
Launcher.getLauncher (which has the side effect of setting
Thread.contextClassLoader) and then overriding it.
When I originally implemented DetachCurrentThread, I assumed it didn't
make sense for the main thread to detach itself from the VM, and I was
concerned that allowing it might cause problems for any other threads
still attached. However, detaching the main thread is allowed by the
JNI spec as of Java 2, and OpenJDK's java command does this just
before calling DestroyJavaVM. Therefore, this commit ensures that the
VM doesn't abort if the main thread is detached.
We weren't adding entries to the frame map for calls to the instanceof
thunk when compiling methods. However, that thunk may trigger a GC,
in which case we'll need to unwind the stack, which will lead to a
crash if we don't have a frame map entry for that instruction.
Java requires that NaNs be converted to zero and that numbers at or
beyond the limits of integer representation be clamped to the largest
or smallest value that can be represented, respectively.
Our implementation uses Object.wait(long) to implement Thread.sleep,
which had the side effect of interpreting zero as infinity. However,
for Thread.sleep, zero just means zero. I assume that doesn't mean
"don't sleep at all", though, or else the app wouldn't have called
Thread.sleep in the first place, so this patch sleeps for one
millisecond when zero is passed -- just enough to yield the processor
for a bit. Thread.yield might be a better choice in this case, but I
assume the app would have called that directly if that's what it
wanted.
This led to fixed-position objects being considered unreachable when
they were actually still reachable, causing global weak JNI references
to be cleared prematurely, most notably leading to crashes in AWT
buffered image code.
This commit also fixes a field offset calculation mismatch in
bootimage.cpp relative to machine.cpp.
OpenJDK 7 has refactored this code relative to OpenJDK 6, and now
FontManager is an interface, with SunFontManager providing a (partial)
implementation.
On the ARM platform, Avian compiled to use OpenJDK gets this error on
startup:
java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError: no zip in java.library.path
at java/lang/ClassLoader.loadLibrary (line 1860)
at java/lang/Runtime.loadLibrary0 (line 845)
at java/lang/System.loadLibrary (line 1084)
at java/lang/System.initializeSystemClass (line 1145)
Using strace shows why:
[pid 22431]
stat64("/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-armhf/jre/lib/i386/libzip.so",
0xbee377e0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
The attached patch uses "arm" instead of "i386" in that path. This fixes the
problem.
Linux, FreeBSD, and QNX all use ELF, so no need to distinguish between
them when generating object files. To avoid confusion, I've switch
from using operating system names to using binary format names where
applicable.
When we skip a single-precision register to ensure a double-precision
load is aligned, we need to remember that in case we see another
single-precision argument later on, which we must backfill into that
register we skipped according to the ABI.
This ABI's calling convention passes arguments and returns results
using VFP registers, so we need to tweak vmNativeCall to match it.
Thanks to Damjan Jovanovic for pointing this out and providing an
initial patch.
The existing code handled such odd switch statements correctly in the
JIT case, but did the wrong thing for the AOT case, leading to an
assertion failure later on.
All but one test is passing. The failure is due to the fact that QNX
doesn't (in general) support calling fork(2) from a multithreaded
process. Thus, we'll need to use spawn instead of fork/exec on QNX,
which I'll attempt in a later commit.

4512a9a introduced a new ArgumentList constructor which was handling
some types incorrectly (e.g. implicitly converting floats to
integers). This commit fixes it.
We were assuming the array element size was always the native word
size, which is not correct in general for primitive arrays, and this
led to wasted space at best and memory corruption at worst.
The compiler was failing to freeze the source site containing the
value of the second word in a multi-word move, leading to mis-compiled
code in some cases.
Our Thread.getStackTrace implementation is tricky because it might be
invoked on a thread executing arbitrary native or Java code, and there
are numerous edge cases to consider. Unsurprisingly, there were a few
lingering, non-fatal bugs revealed by Valgrind recently, one involving
the brief interval just before and after returning from invokeNative,
and the other involving an off-by-one error in x86.cpp's nextFrame
implementation. This commit fixes both.
sun.misc.Unsafe now has two native getByte methods: one which takes a
long and another which takes an Object and a long. Thus, we need to
decorate each version with its parameter signature so we don't
accidentally call the wrong one at runtime.
As of the latest code from the jdk7u-dev Mercurial repository,
java.lang.String no longer has offset or length fields. Instead, the
content fits exactly into the backing char array, so offset is
implicitly zero and length is the length of the array. The VM
previously relied on those fields being present, whereas this commit
handles the case where they are not.
In addition, I've made some changes to openjdk-src.mk to ensure that
we can build against both a stock OpenJDK 7 and an IcedTea-patched
version.
If a class references a field or method as static and we find it's
actually non-static -- or vice-versa -- we ought to throw an error
rather than abort.
The usage statement for the bootimage-generator now looks like this:
build/linux-x86_64-bootimage/bootimage-generator \
-cp <classpath> \
-bootimage <bootimage file> \
-codeimage <codeimage file> \
[-entry <class name>[.<method name>[<method spec>]]] \
[-bootimage-symbols <start symbol name>:<end symbol name>] \
[-codeimage-symbols <start symbol name>:<end symbol name>]
The first problem was that, on x86, we failed to properly keep track
of whether to expect the return address to be on the stack or not when
unwinding through a frame. We were relying on a "stackLimit" pointer
to tell us whether we were looking at the most recently-called frame
by comparing it with the stack pointer for that frame. That was
inaccurate in the case of a thread executing at the beginning of a
method before a new frame is allocated, in which case the most recent
two frames share a stack pointer, confusing the unwinder. The
solution involves keeping track of how many frames we've looked at
while walking the stack.
The other problem was that compareIpToMethodBounds assumed every
method was followed by at least one byte of padding before the next
method started. That assumption was usually valid because we were
storing the size following method code prior to the code itself.
However, the last method of an AOT-compiled code image is not followed
by any such method header and may instead be followed directly by
native code with no intervening padding. In that case, we risk
interpreting that native code as part of the preceding method, with
potentially bizarre results.
The reason for the compareIpToMethodBounds assumption was that methods
which throw exceptions as their last instruction generate a
non-returning call, which nonetheless push a return address on the
stack which points past the end of the method, and the unwinder needs
to know that return address belongs to that method. A better solution
is to add an extra trap instruction to the end of such methods, which
is what this patch does.
For some reason, Cygwin's MinGW-W64 compilers end up pulling in our
version of process.h from unistd.h. That doesn't really make sense --
it should use the one from the sysroot, but we can work around it by
just not including unistd.h, since it's not needed on Windows anyway.
OpenJDK is huge, so building a bootimage out of the whole thing (as
opposed to an app shrunk using ProGuard) requires a lot of space.
Note that we still can't handle this on ARM or PowerPC due to a
limitation in the compiler, but we don't expect people to ship
binaries with the entire OpenJDK class library anyway, so it shouldn't
be a problem in practice.
If we don't initialize that at our first opportunity, it's possible
we'll run out of memory later and exit silently instead of printing
the error and returning a nonzero exit code.
It seems that GCC 4.6.1 gets confused at LTO time when we take the
address of inline functions, so I'm switching them to non-inline
linkage to make it happy.

The JRE lib dir for OpenJDK 7 on OS X seems to be just "lib", not
e.g. "lib/amd64" by default, so we use that now. Also, the default
library compatibility version for libjvm.dylib is 0.0.0, but OpenJDK
wants 1.0.0, so we set it explicitly.
If we clear Thread::flags before releasing the thread mutex and
re-acquiring the monitor mutex, it's possible that we will be notified
between the release and re-acquire, which will confuse us later if we
try to wait on the same monitor again such that we well not remove
ourselves from the wait list because we think we've been removed by
the notifier.
The solution is to wait until we've acquired both mutexes before we
clear Thread::flags.
We've already been handling this case in arm.cpp and powerpc.cpp, but
apparently we've never hit this code path in x86.cpp before. Indeed,
I've been unable to come up with a Java source code test that hits it;
it's only come up in Scala-generated bytecode.
Scala occasionally generates exception handler tables with interval
bounds which fall outside the range of valid bytecode indexes, so we
must clamp them or risk out-of-bounds array accesses.
Since we use Thread::code to store a reference to either the method to
be invoked or the current bytecode being executed depending on the
context, we must be careful to switch it back to the bytecode of the
exception handler if an exception is thrown while invoking a method
(e.g. an UnsatisfiedLinkError).
There was a subtle bug in that we were not considering alignment
padding for fields defined in superclasses when calculating field
offsets for a derived class when the superclass(es) were visited by
the bootimage generator before the derived class.
Floats are implicitly promoted to doubles when passed as part of a
variable-length argument list, so we can't treat them the same way as
32-bit integers.
Apple's linker tends to remove functions which are never called, which
is not what we want for e.g. vmPrintTrace, since that function is only
intended to be called interactively from within GDB.
My previous attempt wasn't quite sufficient, since it was too late to
call join on a thread which had already exited given the code was
written to aggressively dispose of system handles as soon as the
thread exited. The solution is to delay disposing these handles until
after we're able to join the thread.
The bug here is that when a thread exits and becomes a "zombie", the
OS resources associated with it are not necessarily released until we
actually join and dispose of that thread. Since that only happens
during garbage collection, and collection normally only happens in
response to heap memory pressure, there's no guarantee that we'll GC
frequently enough to clean up zombies promptly and avoid running out
of resources.
The solution is to force a GC whenever we start a new thread and there
are at least N zombies waiting to be disposed, where N=16 for now.
We never define atomicCompareAndSwap64 for ARM or PowerPC, and
apparently only very recent ARM chips support it, so we must fall back
to synchronization-based emulation.
There were a couple of problems with the Avian_sun_misc_Unsafe_park
implementation in classpath-openjdk.cpp. First, the wait time should
be interpreted as milliseconds if absolute, but as nanoseconds
otherwise, whereas we were treating it as milliseconds in both cases.
Second, there was no mechanism to exit the while loop after the
specified time; the only way we could exit was via an unpark or
interrupt.
There was a subtle race condition in the VM shutdown process such that
a System::Thread would be disposed after the System instance it was
created under has been disposed, in which case doing a virtual call to
System::free with that instance would potentially cause a crash. The
solution is to just call the C library version of free directly, since
that's all System::free does.
On Ubuntu 11.10, the optimized build was breaking, apparently because
it was eliminating most of the symbols defined in assembly code
(e.g. vmJump) as unreachable when linking libjvm.so, which left
avian-dynamic unlinkable due to an unresolved symbol.
The solution in this commit is to export makeSystem and makeFinder
from libjvm.so rather than build redundant versions of finder.cpp and
posix.cpp/windows.cpp into avian-dynamic like we've been doing. This
avoids the whole problem of vmJump reachability and reduces the size
of avian-dynamic at the same time.
This commit also turns off LTO for the avian-dynamic link since we get
odd undefined symbol errors about libc-defined symbols otherwise.
This may merit future investigation, but avian-dynamic is so small and
simple that there's no need to optimize it anyway.
Until now, the bootimage build hasn't supported using the Java
invocation API to create a VM, destroy it, and create another in the
same process. Ideally, we would be able to create multiple VMs
simultaneously without any interference between them. In fact, Avian
is designed to support this for the most part, but there are a few
places we use global, mutable state which prevent this from working.
Most notably, the bootimage is modified in-place at runtime, so the
best we can do without extensive changes is to clean up the bootimage
when the VM is destroyed so it's ready for later instances. Hence
this commit.
Ultimately, we can move towards a fully reentrant VM by making the
bootimage immutable, but this will require some care to avoid
performance regressions. Another challenge is our Posix signal
handlers, which currently rely on a global handle to the VM, since you
can't, to my knowledge, pass a context pointer when registering a
signal handler. Thread local variables won't necessarily help, since
a thread might attatch to more than one VM at a time.
When the fourth argument is a 64-bit value on the Apple ARM ABI, it is
passed half by register and half on the stack, unlike on Linux where
it is passed entirely on the stack. The logic to handle this in arm.h
was flawed, and this commit fixes it.
This reverts commit 88d614eb25.
It turns out we still need separate sets of thunks for AOT-compiled
and JIT-compiled code to ensure we can always generate efficient jumps
and calls to thunks on architectures such as ARM and PowerPC, whose
relative jumps and calls have limited ranges.
Now that the AOT-compiled code image is position-independent, there is
no further need for this distinction. In fact, it was harmful,
because we were still using runtime-generated thunks when we should
have been using the ones in the code image. This resulted in
EXC_BAD_ACCESS errors on non-jailbroken iOS devices.
It seems that the Apple iOS Simulator's stat implementation writes
beyond the end of the struct stat we pass it, which can clobber
unrelated parts of the stack. Perhaps this is due to some kind of
header/library mismatch, but I've been unable to track it down so far.
The workaround is to give it 8 words more than it should need, where 8
is a number I just made up and seems to work.
This avoids the requirement of putting the code image in a
section/segment which is both writable and executable, which is good
for security and avoids trouble with systems like iOS which disallow
such things.
The implementation relies on relative addressing such that the offset
of the desired address is fixed as a compile-time constant relative to
the start of the memory area of interest (e.g. the code image, heap
image, or thunk table). At runtime, the base pointer to the memory
area is retrieved from the thread structure and added to the offset to
compute the final address. Using the thread pointer allows us to
generate read-only, position-independent code while avoiding the use
of IP-relative addressing, which is not available on all
architectures.
This fixes a number of bugs concerning cross-architecture bootimage
builds involving diffent endianesses. There will be more work to do
before it works.
Some apps and libraries may generate recoverable SEH exceptions on
Windows, in which cases we don't want to waste time and disk space
generating memory dumps.
This monster commit is the first step towards supporting
cross-architecture bootimage builds. The challenge is to build a heap
and code image for the target platform where the word size and
endianess may differ from those of the build architecture. That means
the memory layout of objects may differ due to alignment and size
differences, so we can't just copy objects into the heap image
unchanged; we must copy field by field, resizing values, reversing
endianess and shifting offsets as necessary.
This commit also removes POD (plain old data) type support from the
type generator because it added a lot of complication and little
value.
On Windows, some versions of Git automatically translate Unix line
endings to Windows line endings, which can break the build unless we
treat carriage returns as whitespace when parsing.
Previously, we returned immediately from Monitor.wait if we found we
had been interrupted, but this caused deadlock when waiting to enter
the exclusive state, since we never released Machine::stateLock to
allow active threads to transition into the idle state. This commit
ensures that we at least briefly release the lock without actually
waiting in that case.
We must throw an AbstractMethodError when such a call is executed (not
when the call is compiled), so we compile this case as a call to a
thunk which throws such an error.
Singletons may have embedded object references, and if they are
allocated at fixed memory locations (e.g. if they are larger than
64KB), they must have object masks so the garbage collector knows were
to find said references.
We can't reduce a conditional branch to an unconditional jump unless
both arguments to the comparison are constants *and* those constants
have been resolved. The latter may not be true in the case of a
bootimage build.
We had be using System::Monitor::wait to block threads internally in
the VM as well as to implement Object.wait. However, the interrupted
flag should only be cleared in the latter case, not the former. This
commit adds a new method and changes the semantics of the old one in
order to acheive the desired behavior.
This was causing 8-byte SSE-to-SSE moves involving registers
xmm8-xmm15 to be misencoded on x86_64, leading to incorrect code
generation in methods with lots of local variables of type double.
