25// Introduction:
26//
27// The RedefineClasses() API is used to change the definition of one or
28// more classes. While the API supports redefining more than one class
29// in a single call, in general, the API is discussed in the context of
30// changing the definition of a single current class to a single new
31// class. For clarity, the current class is will always be called
32// "the_class" and the new class will always be called "scratch_class".
33//
34// The name "the_class" is used because there is only one structure
35// that represents a specific class; redefinition does not replace the
36// structure, but instead replaces parts of the structure. The name
37// "scratch_class" is used because the structure that represents the
38// new definition of a specific class is simply used to carry around
39// the parts of the new definition until they are used to replace the
40// appropriate parts in the_class. Once redefinition of a class is
41// complete, scratch_class is thrown away.
42//
43//
44// Implementation Overview:
45//
46// The RedefineClasses() API is mostly a wrapper around the VM op that
47// does the real work. The work is split in varying degrees between
48// doit_prologue(), doit() and doit_epilogue().
49//
50// 1) doit_prologue() is called by the JavaThread on the way to a
51//    safepoint. It does parameter verification and loads scratch_class
52//    which involves:
53//    - parsing the incoming class definition using the_class' class
54//      loader and security context
55//    - linking scratch_class
56//    - merging constant pools and rewriting bytecodes as needed
57//      for the merged constant pool
58//    - verifying the bytecodes in scratch_class
59//    - setting up the constant pool cache and rewriting bytecodes
60//      as needed to use the cache
61//    - finally, scratch_class is compared to the_class to verify
62//      that it is a valid replacement class
63//    - if everything is good, then scratch_class is saved in an
64//      instance field in the VM operation for the doit() call
65//
66//    Note: A JavaThread must do the above work.
67//
68// 2) doit() is called by the VMThread during a safepoint. It installs
69//    the new class definition(s) which involves:
70//    - retrieving the scratch_class from the instance field in the
71//      VM operation
72//    - house keeping (flushing breakpoints and caches, deoptimizing
73//      dependent compiled code)
74//    - replacing parts in the_class with parts from scratch_class
75//    - adding weak reference(s) to track the obsolete but interesting
76//      parts of the_class
77//    - adjusting constant pool caches and vtables in other classes
78//      that refer to methods in the_class. These adjustments use the
79//      SystemDictionary::classes_do() facility which only allows
80//      a helper method to be specified. The interesting parameters
81//      that we would like to pass to the helper method are saved in
82//      static global fields in the VM operation.
83//    - telling the SystemDictionary to notice our changes
84//
85//    Note: the above work must be done by the VMThread to be safe.
86//
87// 3) doit_epilogue() is called by the JavaThread after the VM op
88//    is finished and the safepoint is done. It simply cleans up
89//    memory allocated in doit_prologue() and used in doit().
90//
91//
92// Constant Pool Details:
93//
94// When the_class is redefined, we cannot just replace the constant
95// pool in the_class with the constant pool from scratch_class because
96// that could confuse obsolete methods that may still be running.
97// Instead, the constant pool from the_class, old_cp, is merged with
98// the constant pool from scratch_class, scratch_cp. The resulting
99// constant pool, merge_cp, replaces old_cp in the_class.
100//
101// The key part of any merging algorithm is the entry comparison
102// function so we have to know the types of entries in a constant pool
103// in order to merge two of them together. Constant pools can contain
104// up to 12 different kinds of entries; the JVM_CONSTANT_Unicode entry
105// is not presently used so we only have to worry about the other 11
106// entry types. For the purposes of constant pool merging, it is
107// helpful to know that the 11 entry types fall into 3 different
108// subtypes: "direct", "indirect" and "double-indirect".
109//
110// Direct CP entries contain data and do not contain references to
111// other CP entries. The following are direct CP entries:
112//     JVM_CONSTANT_{Double,Float,Integer,Long,Utf8}
113//
114// Indirect CP entries contain 1 or 2 references to a direct CP entry
115// and no other data. The following are indirect CP entries:
116//     JVM_CONSTANT_{Class,NameAndType,String}
117//
118// Double-indirect CP entries contain two references to indirect CP
119// entries and no other data. The following are double-indirect CP
120// entries:
121//     JVM_CONSTANT_{Fieldref,InterfaceMethodref,Methodref}
122//
123// When comparing entries between two constant pools, the entry types
124// are compared first and if they match, then further comparisons are
125// made depending on the entry subtype. Comparing direct CP entries is
126// simply a matter of comparing the data associated with each entry.
127// Comparing both indirect and double-indirect CP entries requires
128// recursion.
129//
130// Fortunately, the recursive combinations are limited because indirect
131// CP entries can only refer to direct CP entries and double-indirect
132// CP entries can only refer to indirect CP entries. The following is
133// an example illustration of the deepest set of indirections needed to
134// access the data associated with a JVM_CONSTANT_Fieldref entry:
135//
136//     JVM_CONSTANT_Fieldref {
137//         class_index => JVM_CONSTANT_Class {
138//             name_index => JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8 {
139//                 <data-1>
140//             }
141//         }
142//         name_and_type_index => JVM_CONSTANT_NameAndType {
143//             name_index => JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8 {
144//                 <data-2>
145//             }
146//             descriptor_index => JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8 {
147//                 <data-3>
148//             }
149//         }
150//     }
151//
152// The above illustration is not a data structure definition for any
153// computer language. The curly braces ('{' and '}') are meant to
154// delimit the context of the "fields" in the CP entry types shown.
155// Each indirection from the JVM_CONSTANT_Fieldref entry is shown via
156// "=>", e.g., the class_index is used to indirectly reference a
157// JVM_CONSTANT_Class entry where the name_index is used to indirectly
158// reference a JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8 entry which contains the interesting
159// <data-1>. In order to understand a JVM_CONSTANT_Fieldref entry, we
160// have to do a total of 5 indirections just to get to the CP entries
161// that contain the interesting pieces of data and then we have to
162// fetch the three pieces of data. This means we have to do a total of
163// (5 + 3) * 2 == 16 dereferences to compare two JVM_CONSTANT_Fieldref
164// entries.
165//
166// Here is the indirection, data and dereference count for each entry
167// type:
168//
169//    JVM_CONSTANT_Class               1 indir, 1 data, 2 derefs
170//    JVM_CONSTANT_Double              0 indir, 1 data, 1 deref
171//    JVM_CONSTANT_Fieldref            2 indir, 3 data, 8 derefs
172//    JVM_CONSTANT_Float               0 indir, 1 data, 1 deref
173//    JVM_CONSTANT_Integer             0 indir, 1 data, 1 deref
174//    JVM_CONSTANT_InterfaceMethodref  2 indir, 3 data, 8 derefs
175//    JVM_CONSTANT_Long                0 indir, 1 data, 1 deref
176//    JVM_CONSTANT_Methodref           2 indir, 3 data, 8 derefs
177//    JVM_CONSTANT_NameAndType         1 indir, 2 data, 4 derefs
178//    JVM_CONSTANT_String              1 indir, 1 data, 2 derefs
179//    JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8                0 indir, 1 data, 1 deref
180//
181// So different subtypes of CP entries require different amounts of
182// work for a proper comparison.
183//
184// Now that we've talked about the different entry types and how to
185// compare them we need to get back to merging. This is not a merge in
186// the "sort -u" sense or even in the "sort" sense. When we merge two
187// constant pools, we copy all the entries from old_cp to merge_cp,
188// preserving entry order. Next we append all the unique entries from
189// scratch_cp to merge_cp and we track the index changes from the
190// location in scratch_cp to the possibly new location in merge_cp.
191// When we are done, any obsolete code that is still running that
192// uses old_cp should not be able to observe any difference if it
193// were to use merge_cp. As for the new code in scratch_class, it is
194// modified to use the appropriate index values in merge_cp before it
195// is used to replace the code in the_class.
196//
197// There is one small complication in copying the entries from old_cp
198// to merge_cp. Two of the CP entry types are special in that they are
199// lazily resolved. Before explaining the copying complication, we need
200// to digress into CP entry resolution.
201//
202// JVM_CONSTANT_Class and JVM_CONSTANT_String entries are present in
203// the class file, but are not stored in memory as such until they are
204// resolved. The entries are not resolved unless they are used because
205// resolution is expensive. During class file parsing the entries are
206// initially stored in memory as JVM_CONSTANT_ClassIndex and
207// JVM_CONSTANT_StringIndex entries. These special CP entry types
208// indicate that the JVM_CONSTANT_Class and JVM_CONSTANT_String entries
209// have been parsed, but the index values in the entries have not been
210// validated. After the entire constant pool has been parsed, the index
211// values can be validated and then the entries are converted into
212// JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedClass and JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedString
213// entries. During this conversion process, the UTF8 values that are
214// indirectly referenced by the JVM_CONSTANT_ClassIndex and
215// JVM_CONSTANT_StringIndex entries are changed into symbolOops and the
216// entries are modified to refer to the symbolOops. This optimization
217// eliminates one level of indirection for those two CP entry types and
218// gets the entries ready for verification. During class file parsing
219// it is also possible for JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedString entries to be
220// resolved into JVM_CONSTANT_String entries. Verification expects to
221// find JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedClass and either JVM_CONSTANT_String or
222// JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedString entries and not JVM_CONSTANT_Class
223// entries.
224//
225// Now we can get back to the copying complication. When we copy
226// entries from old_cp to merge_cp, we have to revert any
227// JVM_CONSTANT_Class entries to JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedClass entries
228// or verification will fail.
229//
230// It is important to explicitly state that the merging algorithm
231// effectively unresolves JVM_CONSTANT_Class entries that were in the
232// old_cp when they are changed into JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedClass
233// entries in the merge_cp. This is done both to make verification
234// happy and to avoid adding more brittleness between RedefineClasses
235// and the constant pool cache. By allowing the constant pool cache
236// implementation to (re)resolve JVM_CONSTANT_UnresolvedClass entries
237// into JVM_CONSTANT_Class entries, we avoid having to embed knowledge
238// about those algorithms in RedefineClasses.
239//
240// Appending unique entries from scratch_cp to merge_cp is straight
241// forward for direct CP entries and most indirect CP entries. For the
242// indirect CP entry type JVM_CONSTANT_NameAndType and for the double-
243// indirect CP entry types, the presence of more than one piece of
244// interesting data makes appending the entries more complicated.
245//
246// For the JVM_CONSTANT_{Double,Float,Integer,Long,Utf8} entry types,
247// the entry is simply copied from scratch_cp to the end of merge_cp.
248// If the index in scratch_cp is different than the destination index
249// in merge_cp, then the change in index value is tracked.
250//
251// Note: the above discussion for the direct CP entries also applies
252// to the JVM_CONSTANT_Unresolved{Class,String} entry types.
253//
254// For the JVM_CONSTANT_{Class,String} entry types, since there is only
255// one data element at the end of the recursion, we know that we have
256// either one or two unique entries. If the JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8 entry is
257// unique then it is appended to merge_cp before the current entry.
258// If the JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8 entry is not unique, then the current entry
259// is updated to refer to the duplicate entry in merge_cp before it is
260// appended to merge_cp. Again, any changes in index values are tracked
261// as needed.
262//
263// Note: the above discussion for JVM_CONSTANT_{Class,String} entry
264// types is theoretical. Since those entry types have already been
265// optimized into JVM_CONSTANT_Unresolved{Class,String} entry types,
266// they are handled as direct CP entries.
267//
268// For the JVM_CONSTANT_NameAndType entry type, since there are two
269// data elements at the end of the recursions, we know that we have
270// between one and three unique entries. Any unique JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8
271// entries are appended to merge_cp before the current entry. For any
272// JVM_CONSTANT_Utf8 entries that are not unique, the current entry is
273// updated to refer to the duplicate entry in merge_cp before it is
274// appended to merge_cp. Again, any changes in index values are tracked
275// as needed.
276//
277// For the JVM_CONSTANT_{Fieldref,InterfaceMethodref,Methodref} entry
278// types, since there are two indirect CP entries and three data
279// elements at the end of the recursions, we know that we have between
280// one and six unique entries. See the JVM_CONSTANT_Fieldref diagram
281// above for an example of all six entries. The uniqueness algorithm
282// for the JVM_CONSTANT_Class and JVM_CONSTANT_NameAndType entries is
283// covered above. Any unique entries are appended to merge_cp before
284// the current entry. For any entries that are not unique, the current
285// entry is updated to refer to the duplicate entry in merge_cp before
286// it is appended to merge_cp. Again, any changes in index values are
287// tracked as needed.
288//
289//
290// Other Details:
291//
292// Details for other parts of RedefineClasses need to be written.
293// This is a placeholder section.
294//
295//
296// Open Issues (in no particular order):
297//
298// - How do we serialize the RedefineClasses() API without deadlocking?
299//
300// - SystemDictionary::parse_stream() was called with a NULL protection
301//   domain since the initial version. This has been changed to pass
302//   the_class->protection_domain(). This change has been tested with
303//   all NSK tests and nothing broke, but what will adding it now break
304//   in ways that we don't test?
305//
306// - GenerateOopMap::rewrite_load_or_store() has a comment in its
307//   (indirect) use of the Relocator class that the max instruction
308//   size is 4 bytes. goto_w and jsr_w are 5 bytes and wide/iinc is
309//   6 bytes. Perhaps Relocator only needs a 4 byte buffer to do
310//   what it does to the bytecodes. More investigation is needed.
311//
312// - java.lang.Object methods can be called on arrays. This is
313//   implemented via the arrayKlassOop vtable which we don't
314//   update. For example, if we redefine java.lang.Object.toString(),
315//   then the new version of the method will not be called for array
316//   objects.
317//
318// - How do we know if redefine_single_class() and the guts of
319//   instanceKlass are out of sync? I don't think this can be
320//   automated, but we should probably order the work in
321//   redefine_single_class() to match the order of field
322//   definitions in instanceKlass. We also need to add some
323//   comments about keeping things in sync.
324//
325// - set_new_constant_pool() is huge and we should consider refactoring
326//   it into smaller chunks of work.
327//
328// - The exception table update code in set_new_constant_pool() defines
329//   const values that are also defined in a local context elsewhere.
330//   The same literal values are also used in elsewhere. We need to
331//   coordinate a cleanup of these constants with Runtime.
