28 // Terminology used within this source file:
29 //
30 // Card Entry: This is the information that identifies whether a
31 // particular card-table entry is Clean or Dirty. A clean
32 // card entry denotes that the associated memory does not
33 // hold references to young-gen memory.
34 //
35 // Card Region, aka
36 // Card Memory: This is the region of memory that is assocated with a
37 // particular card entry.
38 //
39 // Card Cluster: A card cluster represents 64 card entries. A card
40 // cluster is the minimal amount of work performed at a
41 // time by a parallel thread. Note that the work required
42 // to scan a card cluster is somewhat variable in that the
43 // required effort depends on how many cards are dirty, how
44 // many references are held within the objects that span a
45 // DIRTY card's memory, and on the size of the object
46 // that spans the end of a DIRTY card's memory (because
47 // that object, if it's not an array, may need to be scanned in
48 // its entirety, when the object is imprecisely dirtied. Imprecise
49 // dirtying is when the card corresponding to the object header
50 // is dirtied, rather than the card on which the updated field lives).
51 // To better balance work amongst them, parallel worker threads dynamically
52 // claim clusters and are flexible in the number of clusters they
53 // process.
54 //
55 // A cluster represents a "natural" quantum of work to be performed by
56 // a parallel GC thread's background remembered set scanning efforts.
57 // The notion of cluster is similar to the notion of stripe in the
58 // implementation of parallel GC card scanning. However, a cluster is
59 // typically smaller than a stripe, enabling finer grain division of
60 // labor between multiple threads, and potentially better load balancing
61 // when dirty cards are not uniformly distributed in the heap, as is often
62 // the case with generational workloads where more recently promoted objects
63 // may be dirtied more frequently that older objects.
64 //
65 // For illustration, consider the following possible JVM configurations:
66 //
67 // Scenario 1:
68 // RegionSize is 128 MB
69 // Span of a card entry is 512 B
70 // Each card table entry consumes 1 B
71 // Assume one long word (8 B)of the card table represents a cluster.
72 // This long word holds 8 card table entries, spanning a
73 // total of 8*512 B = 4 KB of the heap
74 // The number of clusters per region is 128 MB / 4 KB = 32 K
75 //
76 // Scenario 2:
77 // RegionSize is 128 MB
78 // Span of each card entry is 128 B
79 // Each card table entry consumes 1 bit
80 // Assume one int word (4 B) of the card table represents a cluster.
81 // This int word holds 32 b/1 b = 32 card table entries, spanning a
82 // total of 32 * 128 B = 4 KB of the heap
83 // The number of clusters per region is 128 MB / 4 KB = 32 K
84 //
85 // Scenario 3:
86 // RegionSize is 128 MB
87 // Span of each card entry is 512 B
88 // Each card table entry consumes 1 bit
89 // Assume one long word (8 B) of card table represents a cluster.
90 // This long word holds 64 b/ 1 b = 64 card table entries, spanning a
91 // total of 64 * 512 B = 32 KB of the heap
92 // The number of clusters per region is 128 MB / 32 KB = 4 K
93 //
94 // At the start of a new young-gen concurrent mark pass, the gang of
95 // Shenandoah worker threads collaborate in performing the following
96 // actions:
97 //
98 // Let old_regions = number of ShenandoahHeapRegion comprising
99 // old-gen memory
100 // Let region_size = ShenandoahHeapRegion::region_size_bytes()
101 // represent the number of bytes in each region
102 // Let clusters_per_region = region_size / 512
103 // Let rs represent the ShenandoahDirectCardMarkRememberedSet
104 //
105 // for each ShenandoahHeapRegion old_region in the whole heap
106 // determine the cluster number of the first cluster belonging
107 // to that region
108 // for each cluster contained within that region
109 // Assure that exactly one worker thread processes each
110 // cluster, each thread making a series of invocations of the
111 // following:
112 //
113 // rs->process_clusters(worker_id, ReferenceProcessor *,
114 // ShenandoahConcurrentMark *, cluster_no, cluster_count,
115 // HeapWord *end_of_range, OopClosure *oops);
116 //
117 // For efficiency, divide up the clusters so that different threads
118 // are responsible for processing different clusters. Processing costs
119 // may vary greatly between clusters for the following reasons:
120 //
121 // a) some clusters contain mostly dirty cards and other
122 // clusters contain mostly clean cards
123 // b) some clusters contain mostly primitive data and other
124 // clusters contain mostly reference data
125 // c) some clusters are spanned by very large non-array objects that
126 // begin in some other cluster. When a large non-array object
127 // beginning in a preceding cluster spans large portions of
128 // this cluster, then because of imprecise dirtying, the
129 // portion of the object in this cluster may be clean, but
130 // will need to be processed by the worker responsible for
131 // this cluster, potentially increasing its work.
132 // d) in the case that the end of this cluster is spanned by a
133 // very large non-array object, the worker for this cluster will
134 // be responsible for processing the portion of the object
135 // in this cluster.
136 //
137 // Though an initial division of labor between marking threads may
138 // assign equal numbers of clusters to be scanned by each thread, it
139 // should be expected that some threads will finish their assigned
140 // work before others. Therefore, some amount of the full remembered
141 // set scanning effort should be held back and assigned incrementally
142 // to the threads that end up with excess capacity. Consider the
143 // following strategy for dividing labor:
144 //
145 // 1. Assume there are 8 marking threads and 1024 remembered
146 // set clusters to be scanned.
147 // 2. Assign each thread to scan 64 clusters. This leaves
148 // 512 (1024 - (8*64)) clusters to still be scanned.
149 // 3. As the 8 server threads complete previous cluster
150 // scanning assignments, issue each of the next 8 scanning
151 // assignments as units of 32 additional cluster each.
152 // In the case that there is high variance in effort
153 // associated with previous cluster scanning assignments,
154 // multiples of these next assignments may be serviced by
155 // the server threads that were previously assigned lighter
156 // workloads.
157 // 4. Make subsequent scanning assignments as follows:
158 // a) 8 assignments of size 16 clusters
159 // b) 8 assignments of size 8 clusters
160 // c) 16 assignments of size 4 clusters
161 //
162 // When there is no more remembered set processing work to be
163 // assigned to a newly idled worker thread, that thread can move
164 // on to work on other tasks associated with root scanning until such
165 // time as all clusters have been examined.
166 //
167 // Remembered set scanning is designed to run concurrently with
168 // mutator threads, with multiple concurrent workers. Furthermore, the
169 // current implementation of remembered set scanning never clears a
170 // card once it has been marked.
171 //
172 // These limitations will be addressed in future enhancements to the
173 // existing implementation.

263 // effectively manages access to multiple possible underlying
264 // remembered set implementations, including a traditional card-table

267 // The API services represent a compromise between efficiency and

270 // Multiple GC threads that scan the remembered set
271 // in parallel. The desire is to divide the complete scanning effort
272 // into multiple clusters of work that can be independently processed
273 // by individual threads without need for synchronizing efforts
274 // between the work performed by each task. The term "cluster" of
275 // work is similar to the term "stripe" as used in the implementation
276 // of Parallel GC.
277 //
278 // Complexity arises when an object to be scanned crosses the boundary
279 // between adjacent cluster regions. Here is the protocol that we currently
280 // follow:
281 //
282 // 1. The thread responsible for scanning the cards in a cluster modifies
283 // the associated card-table entries. Only cards that are dirty are
284 // processed, except as described below for the case of objects that
285 // straddle more than one card.
286 // 2. Object Arrays are precisely dirtied, so only the portion of the obj-array
287 // that overlaps the range of dirty cards in its cluster are scanned
288 // by each worker thread. This holds for portions of obj-arrays that extend
289 // over clusters processed by different workers, with each worked responsible
290 // for scanning the portion of the obj-array overlapping the dirty cards in
291 // its cluster.
292 // 3. Non-array objects are precisely dirtied by the interpreter and the compilers
293 // For such objects that extend over multiple cards, or even multiple clusters,
294 // the entire object is scanned by the worker that processes the (dirty) card on
295 // which the object's header lies. (However, GC workers should precisely dirty the
296 // cards with inter-regional/inter-generational pointers in the body of this object,
297 // thus making subsequent scans potentially less expensive.) Such larger non-array
298 // objects are relatively rare.
299 //
300 // A possible criticism:
301 // C. The representation of pointer location descriptive information
302 // within Klass representations is not designed for efficient
303 // "random access". An alternative approach to this design would
304 // be to scan very large objects multiple times, once for each
305 // cluster that is spanned by the object's range. This reduces
306 // unnecessary overscan, but it introduces different sorts of
307 // overhead effort:
308 // i) For each spanned cluster, we have to look up the start of
309 // the crossing object.
310 // ii) Each time we scan the very large object, we have to
311 // sequentially walk through its pointer location
312 // descriptors, skipping over all of the pointers that
313 // precede the start of the range of addresses that we
314 // consider relevant.
315
316
317 // Because old-gen heap memory is not necessarily contiguous, and
318 // because cards are not necessarily maintained for young-gen memory,
319 // consecutive card numbers do not necessarily correspond to consecutive
320 // address ranges. For the traditional direct-card-marking
321 // implementation of this interface, consecutive card numbers are
322 // likely to correspond to contiguous regions of memory, but this
323 // should not be assumed. Instead, rely only upon the following:
324 //
325 // 1. All card numbers for cards pertaining to the same
326 // ShenandoahHeapRegion are consecutively numbered.
327 // 2. In the case that neighboring ShenandoahHeapRegions both
328 // represent old-gen memory, the card regions that span the
329 // boundary between these neighboring heap regions will be
330 // consecutively numbered.
331 // 3. (A corollary) In the case that an old-gen object straddles the
332 // boundary between two heap regions, the card regions that
333 // correspond to the span of this object will be consecutively
334 // numbered.
335 //
336 // ShenandoahCardCluster abstracts access to the remembered set
337 // and also keeps track of crossing map information to allow efficient
338 // resolution of object start addresses.
339 //
340 // ShenandoahCardCluster supports all of the services of
341 // DirectCardMarkRememberedSet, plus it supports register_object() and lookup_object().
342 // Note that we only need to register the start addresses of the object that
343 // overlays the first address of a card; we need to do this for every card.
344 // In other words, register_object() checks if the object crosses a card boundary,
345 // and updates the offset value for each card that the object crosses into.
346 // For objects that don't straddle cards, nothing needs to be done.

452 // mutator copy-on-first-access promotion. Background GC
453 // threads will update the object_starts array by post-
454 // processing the contents of retired PLAB buffers.
455 // 3. The bet is that these costs are paid relatively rarely
456 // because:
457 // a) Most objects die young and objects that die in young-gen
458 // memory never need to be registered with the object_starts
459 // array.
460 // b) Most objects that are promoted into old-gen memory live

500 // 2. Post-process the contents of GCLAB buffers to register the
501 // objects allocated therein. Allow one GC thread at a
502 // time to do the post-processing of each GCLAB.
503 // 3. Since only one GC thread at a time is registering objects
504 // belonging to a particular allocation buffer, no locking
505 // is performed when registering these objects.
506 // 4. Any remnant of unallocated memory within an expended GC
507 // allocation buffer is not returned to the old-gen allocation
508 // pool until after the GC allocation buffer has been post
509 // processed. Before any remnant memory is returned to the
510 // old-gen allocation pool, the GC thread that scanned this GC
511 // allocation buffer performs a write-commit memory barrier.
512 // 5. Background GC threads that perform tenuring of young-gen
513 // objects without a GCLAB use a CAS lock before registering
514 // each tenured object. The CAS lock assures both mutual
515 // exclusion and memory coherency/visibility. Note that an
516 // object tenured by a background GC thread will not overlap
517 // with any of the clusters that are receiving tenured objects
518 // by way of GCLAB buffers. Multiple independent GC threads may
519 // attempt to tenure objects into a shared cluster. This is why
520 // sychronization may be necessary. Consider the following
521 // scenarios:
522 //
523 // a) If two objects are tenured into the same card region, each
524 // registration may attempt to modify the first-start or
525 // last-start information associated with that card region.
526 // Furthermore, because the representations of first-start
527 // and last-start information within the object_starts array
528 // entry uses different bits of a shared uint_16 to represent
529 // each, it is necessary to lock the entire card entry
530 // before modifying either the first-start or last-start
531 // information within the entry.
532 // b) Suppose GC thread X promotes a tenured object into
533 // card region A and this tenured object spans into
534 // neighboring card region B. Suppose GC thread Y (not equal
535 // to X) promotes a tenured object into cluster B. GC thread X
536 // will update the object_starts information for card A. No
537 // synchronization is required.
538 // c) In summary, when background GC threads register objects
539 // newly tenured into old-gen memory, they must acquire a
540 // mutual exclusion lock on the card that holds the starting
541 // address of the newly tenured object. This can be achieved
542 // by using a CAS instruction to assure that the previous
543 // values of first-offset and last-offset have not been
544 // changed since the same thread inquired as to their most
545 // current values.
546 //
547 // One way to minimize the need for synchronization between
548 // background tenuring GC threads is for each tenuring GC thread
549 // to promote young-gen objects into distinct dedicated cluster
550 // ranges.
551 // 6. The object_starts information is only required during the
552 // starting of concurrent marking and concurrent evacuation
553 // phases of GC. Before we start either of these GC phases, the
554 // JVM enters a safe point and all GC threads perform
555 // commit-write barriers to assure that access to the
556 // object_starts information is coherent.
557
558
559 // Notes on synchronization of register_object():
560 //
561 // 1. For efficiency, there is no locking in the implementation of register_object()
562 // 2. Thus, it is required that users of this service assure that concurrent/parallel invocations of
563 // register_object() do pertain to the same card's memory range. See discussion below to understand
564 // the risks.
565 // 3. When allocating from a TLAB or GCLAB, the mutual exclusion can be guaranteed by assuring that each
566 // LAB's start and end are aligned on card memory boundaries.
567 // 4. Use the same lock that guarantees exclusivity when performing free-list allocation within heap regions.
568 //
569 // Register the newly allocated object while we're holding the global lock since there's no synchronization
570 // built in to the implementation of register_object(). There are potential races when multiple independent
571 // threads are allocating objects, some of which might span the same card region. For example, consider
572 // a card table's memory region within which three objects are being allocated by three different threads:
573 //
574 // objects being "concurrently" allocated:
575 // [-----a------][-----b-----][--------------c------------------]
576 // [---- card table memory range --------------]
577 //
578 // Before any objects are allocated, this card's memory range holds no objects. Note that:
579 // allocation of object a wants to set the has-object, first-start, and last-start attributes of the preceding card region.
580 // allocation of object b wants to set the has-object, first-start, and last-start attributes of this card region.
581 // allocation of object c also wants to set the has-object, first-start, and last-start attributes of this card region.
582 //
583 // The thread allocating b and the thread allocating c can "race" in various ways, resulting in confusion, such as last-start
584 // representing object b while first-start represents object c. This is why we need to require all register_object()
585 // invocations associated with objects that are allocated from "free lists" to provide their own mutual exclusion locking
586 // mechanism.
