9 <h1>Compiler replay</h1> |
|
10 <p> |
|
11 The compiler replay is a function to repeat the compiling process from a crashed java process in compiled method<br> |
|
12 This function only exists in debug version of VM |
|
13 </p> |
|
14 <h2>Usage</h2> |
|
15 <pre> |
|
16 First, use SA to attach to the core file, if succeeded, do |
|
17 hsdb> dumpreplaydata <address> | -a | <thread_id> [> replay.txt] |
|
18 create file replay.txt, address is address of Method, or nmethod(CodeBlob) |
|
19 hsdb> buildreplayjars [all | boot | app] |
|
20 create files: |
|
21 all: |
|
22 app.jar, boot.jar |
|
23 boot: |
|
24 boot.jar |
|
25 app: |
|
26 app.jar |
|
27 exit SA now. |
|
28 Second, use the obtained replay text file, replay.txt and jar files, app.jar and boot.jar, using debug version of java |
|
29 java -Xbootclasspath/p:boot.jar -cp app.jar -XX:ReplayDataFile=<datafile> -XX:+ReplayCompiles .... |
|
30 This will replay the compiling process. |
|
31 |
|
32 With ReplayCompiles, the replay will recompile all the methods in app.jar, and in boot.jar to emulate the process in java app. |
|
33 |
|
34 notes: |
|
35 1) Most time, we don't need the boot.jar which is the classes loaded from JDK. It will be only modified when an agent(JVMDI) is running and modifies the classes. |
|
36 2) If encounter error as "<flag>" not found, that means the SA is using a VMStructs which is different from the one with corefile. In this case, SA has a utility tool vmstructsdump which is located at agent/src/os/<os>/proc/<os_platform> |
|
37 |
|
38 Use this tool to dump VM type library: |
|
39 vmstructsdump libjvm.so > <type_name>.db |
|
40 |
|
41 set env SA_TYPEDB=<type_name>.db (refer different shell for set envs) |
