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) |
