 76  * Classes to support access to production performance data
 77  *
 78  * The PerfData class structure is provided for creation, access, and update
 79  * of performance data (a.k.a. instrumentation) in a specific memory region
 80  * which is possibly accessible as shared memory. Although not explicitly
 81  * prevented from doing so, developers should not use the values returned
 82  * by accessor methods to make algorithmic decisions as they are potentially
 83  * extracted from a shared memory region. Although any shared memory region
 84  * created is with appropriate access restrictions, allowing read-write access
 85  * only to the principal that created the JVM, it is believed that the
 86  * shared memory region facilitates an easier attack path than attacks
 87  * launched through mechanisms such as /proc. For this reason, it is
 88  * recommended that data returned by PerfData accessor methods be used
 89  * cautiously.
 90  *
 91  * There are three variability classifications of performance data
 92  *   Constants  -  value is written to the PerfData memory once, on creation
 93  *   Variables  -  value is modifiable, with no particular restrictions
 94  *   Counters   -  value is monotonically changing (increasing or decreasing)
 95  *
 96  * The performance data items can also have various types. The class
 97  * hierarchy and the structure of the memory region are designed to
 98  * accommodate new types as they are needed. Types are specified in
 99  * terms of Java basic types, which accommodates client applications
100  * written in the Java programming language. The class hierarchy is:
101  *
102  * - PerfData (Abstract)
103  *     - PerfLong (Abstract)
104  *         - PerfLongConstant        (alias: PerfConstant)
105  *         - PerfLongVariant (Abstract)
106  *             - PerfLongVariable    (alias: PerfVariable)
107  *             - PerfLongCounter     (alias: PerfCounter)
108  *
109  *     - PerfByteArray (Abstract)
110  *         - PerfString (Abstract)
111  *             - PerfStringVariable
112  *             - PerfStringConstant
113  *
114  *
115  * As seen in the class hierarchy, the initially supported types are:
116  *
117  *    Long      - performance data holds a Java long type
118  *    ByteArray - performance data holds an array of Java bytes
119  *                used for holding C++ char arrays.
120  *
121  * The String type is derived from the ByteArray type.
122  *
123  * A PerfData subtype is not required to provide an implementation for
124  * each variability classification. For example, the String type provides
125  * Variable and Constant variability classifications in the PerfStringVariable
126  * and PerfStringConstant classes, but does not provide a counter type.
127  *
128  * Performance data are also described by a unit of measure. Units allow
129  * client applications to make reasonable decisions on how to treat
130  * performance data generically, preventing the need to hard-code the
131  * specifics of a particular data item in client applications. The current
132  * set of units are:
133  *
134  *   None        - the data has no units of measure
135  *   Bytes       - data is measured in bytes
136  *   Ticks       - data is measured in clock ticks
137  *   Events      - data is measured in events. For example,
138  *                 the number of garbage collection events or the
139  *                 number of methods compiled.
140  *   String      - data is not numerical. For example,
141  *                 the java command line options
142  *   Hertz       - data is a frequency
143  *
144  * The performance counters also provide a support attribute, indicating
145  * the stability of the counter as a programmatic interface. The support
146  * level is also implied by the name space in which the counter is created.
147  * The counter name space support conventions follow the Java package, class,
148  * and property support conventions:
149  *
150  *    java.*          - stable, supported interface
151  *    com.sun.*       - unstable, supported interface
152  *    sun.*           - unstable, unsupported interface
153  *
154  * In the above context, unstable is a measure of the interface support
155  * level, not the implementation stability level.
156  *
157  * Currently, instances of PerfData subtypes are considered to have
158  * a life time equal to that of the VM and are managed by the
159  * PerfDataManager class. All constructors for the PerfData class and
160  * its subtypes have protected constructors. Creation of PerfData
161  * instances is performed by invoking various create methods on the
162  * PerfDataManager class. Users should not attempt to delete these
163  * instances as the PerfDataManager class expects to perform deletion
164  * operations on exit of the VM.
165  *
166  * Examples:
167  *
168  * Creating performance counter that holds a monotonically increasing
169  * long data value with units specified in U_Bytes in the "java.gc.*"
170  * name space.
171  *
172  *   PerfLongCounter* foo_counter;
173  *
174  *   foo_counter = PerfDataManager::create_long_counter(JAVA_GC, "foo",
175  *                                                       PerfData::U_Bytes,
176  *                                                       optionalInitialValue,
177  *                                                       CHECK);
178  *   foo_counter->inc();
179  *
180  * Creating a performance counter that holds a variably change long
181  * data value with units specified in U_Bytes in the "com.sun.ci
182  * name space.
183  *
184  *   PerfLongVariable* bar_variable;
185  *   bar_variable = PerfDataManager::create_long_variable(COM_CI, "bar",
186 .*                                                        PerfData::U_Bytes,
187  *                                                        optionalInitialValue,
188  *                                                        CHECK);
189  *
190  *   bar_variable->inc();
191  *   bar_variable->set_value(0);
192  *
193  * Creating a performance counter that holds a constant string value in
194  * the "sun.cls.*" name space.
195  *
196  *   PerfDataManager::create_string_constant(SUN_CLS, "foo", string, CHECK);
197  *
198  *   Although the create_string_constant() factory method returns a pointer
199  *   to the PerfStringConstant object, it can safely be ignored. Developers
200  *   are not encouraged to access the string constant's value via this
201  *   pointer at this time due to security concerns.
202  *
203  * Creating a performance counter in an arbitrary name space that holds a
204  * value that is sampled by the StatSampler periodic task.
205  *
206  *    PerfDataManager::create_counter("foo.sampled", PerfData::U_Events,
207  *                                    &my_jlong, CHECK);
208  *
209  *    In this example, the PerfData pointer can be ignored as the caller
210  *    is relying on the StatSampler PeriodicTask to sample the given
211  *    address at a regular interval. The interval is defined by the
212  *    PerfDataSamplingInterval global variable, and is applied on
213  *    a system wide basis, not on an per-counter basis.
214  *
215  * Creating a performance counter in an arbitrary name space that utilizes
216  * a helper object to return a value to the StatSampler via the take_sample()
217  * method.
218  *
219  *     class MyTimeSampler : public PerfLongSampleHelper {
220  *       public:
221  *         jlong take_sample() { return os::elapsed_counter(); }
222  *     };
223  *
224  *     PerfDataManager::create_counter(SUN_RT, "helped",
225  *                                     PerfData::U_Ticks,
226  *                                     new MyTimeSampler(), CHECK);
227  *
228  *     In this example, a subtype of PerfLongSampleHelper is instantiated
229  *     and its take_sample() method is overridden to perform whatever
230  *     operation is necessary to generate the data sample. This method
231  *     will be called by the StatSampler at a regular interval, defined
232  *     by the PerfDataSamplingInterval global variable.
233  *
234  *     As before, PerfSampleHelper is an alias for PerfLongSampleHelper.
235  *
236  * For additional uses of PerfData subtypes, see the utility classes
237  * PerfTraceTime and PerfTraceTimedEvent below.
238  *
239  * Always-on non-sampled counters can be created independent of
240  * the UsePerfData flag. Counters will be created on the c-heap
241  * if UsePerfData is false.
242  *
243  * Until further notice, all PerfData objects should be created and
244  * manipulated within a guarded block. The guard variable is
245  * UsePerfData, a product flag set to true by default. This flag may
246  * be removed from the product in the future.
247  *
248  * There are possible shutdown races between counter uses and counter
249  * destruction code. Normal shutdown happens with taking VM_Exit safepoint
250  * operation, so in the vast majority of uses this is not an issue. On the
251  * paths where a concurrent access can still happen when VM is at safepoint,
252  * use the following pattern to coordinate with shutdown:
253  *
254  * {
255  *   GlobalCounter::CriticalSection cs(Thread::current());
256  *   if (PerfDataManager::has_PerfData()) {
257  *     <update-counter>
258  *   }
259  * }

869  *    static PerfCounter* my_time_counter = PerfDataManager::create_counter("my.time.counter", PerfData::U_Ticks, CHECK);
870  *    static PerfCounter* my_event_counter = PerfDataManager::create_counter("my.event.counter", PerfData::U_Events, CHECK);
