It's sufficient if an event object escapes to another method

Some more feedback:
Rename event jdk.CertChain to jdk.CertificateChain
Rename event jdk.X509Cert to jdk.X509Certificate
Rename field certChain to certificateChain.
Rename field serialNum to serialNumber
all above done.
Rename field algId to AlgorithmicId or AlgorithmicID
maybe "algorithm" works here also ?
Rename @Label("Ciphersuite") to @Label("Cipher Suite")
Rename @Label("Cert Chain") to @Label("Certificate Chain")
Rename @Label("Property Name") to "Name" or "Key" if that makes sense
in the context?
Rename @Label("Property Value") to "Value".
Put events in a subcategory, i.e @Category({"Java Development Kit",
"Security"})
done.
Make classes final.
done. I had thought that the JFR mechanism required non-final classes.
What is the unit of the key in X509Certificate event? Bits? If that is
the case, use @DataAmount(DataAmount.BITS)
Yes - it's essentially the bit length of the keys used. Let me look into
that annotation usage.
@Label("Serial numbers forming chain of trust") should not be a
sentence. How about "Serial Numbers"?
I think the tests are hard to read when two things are tested at the
same time. It is also likely that if a test fail due to logging
issues, it will be assigned to JFR because of the test name, even
thought the issues is not JFR related.
I think we're always going to have some ownership issues when tests
serve a dual purpose. I still think it makes sense to keep the test
logic in one place. Any failures in these tests will most likely be
owned by security team. (moving the tests to security directory is also
an option)
If you want to reuse code between tests, I would put it in testlibrary.
Let me check if there's any common patterns that could be added to the
testlibary.
Thanks,
Sean.

Thanks for the update Erik. By default I'm proposing that the new JFR
Events and Logger be disabled. As a result the event class shouldn't
escape. If performance metrics highlight an issue, we should revisit.
regards,
Sean.

Hi Sean,
I may reply in several replies.
PKIXMasterCertPathValidator.java
--------------------------------
+ CertChainEvent cce = new CertChainEvent();

+ String c = reversedCertList.stream()
+ .map(x -> x.getSerialNumber().toString(16))
+ .collect(Collectors.joining(", "));
+ EventHelper.commitCertChainEvent(cce, c);
+ }
No matter the event or the JFR mechanism is enabled or not, the
above code will create a new instance. Is the return value of
cce.isEnabled() dynamically changed or static?
This is a requirement from the JFR framework. All their
event.isEnabled calls are instance methods and follow a similar
pattern. The JFR team assure me that the JIT can optimize away such
calls.
The JIT will most likely not be able to optimize if the event class
escapes.
From a JFR perspective, this would be the preferred layout:
EventA eventA= new EventA();
eventA.value = this.value;
eventA.commit();
and then do logging separately:
System.Logger.log(DEBUG, this.value)
With this layout, the JIT will remove the allocation and dead store.
If it is expensive to gather the data for the event, like the
CertChainEvent above, the following pattern should be used.
EventB eventB= new EventB ();
if (eventB.shouldCommit()) {
eventB.value = calculateValue();
eventB .commit();
}
If JFR is not enabled, shouldCommit returns false and the JIT should
be able to remove the allocation. This will be best from a
performance point of view, and also in my opinion from a maintenance
and readability perspective. Others may disagree.

Is there a need to support both logging and JFR? I'm new to
record events. I did not get the point to use both.
I was initially hoping to concentrate on just JFR events but I got
strong feedback to also consider use of Logger (esp. in cases where
the jdk.jfr module is not available)

Sean.

Erik,
I rebased the patch with TLS v1.3 integration today. I hadn't
realized how much the handshaker code had changed. Hopefully,
I'll get a review from security dev team on that front.
Regards the JFR semantics, I believe the edits should match
majority of requests . I still have a preference for the test
infra design for these new logger/JFR tests used in version 1 of
webrev. I think it makes sense to keep the test functionality
together - no sense in separating them out into different
components IMO. Also, some of the edits to the JFR testing were
made to test for the new dual log/record functionality. I might
catch up with you tomorrow to see what the best arrangement would
be.

Hi Sean,
Some of the changes in the webrev belongs to JDK-8203629 and
should be removed for clarity.
Some initial comments:
default.jfc, profile.jfr:
The events should not have control="enable-exceptions". The
purpose of the control attribute is so to provide parameterized
configuration of events for JMC. As it is now, the security
events will be enabled when a user turns on the exception events.
Makes sense. I'll remove that parameter.
X509CertEvent:
You should use milliseconds since epoch to represent a date
instead of a string value, i.e.
@Label("Valid From")
@Timestamp(Timestamp.MILLISECONDS_SINCE_EPOCH)
public long validFrom;
@Label("Valid Until")
@Timestamp(Timestamp.MILLISECONDS_SINCE_EPOCH)
public long validUntil;
The CertificateValidity class operates on Date Object values.
I'll work with the Date.getTime() method then (and update the
Logger formatting)
This following annotation adds little value
@Description("Details of Security Property")
I would either remove the annotation, or provide information
that helps a user understand the event. For instance, what is
X509, and what kind of certificates are we talking about?
Yes - that looks like the wrong Description. I'll review all of
these fields.
@Category("Java Application")
I'm a bit worried that we will pollute the "Java Application"
namespace if we add lots of JDK events in that category. We may
want to add a new top level category "Java Development Kit",
analogous to the "Java Virtual Machine" category, and put all
security related events in subcategory, perhaps called "Security".
Yes - Open to suggestions. "Security" sounds like a good
suggestion.
@Label("X509Cert")
The label should be human readable name, with spaces, title
cased etc. I would recommend "X.509 Certificate". In general,
avoid abbreviations like "certs" and instead use labels such as
"Certificate Chain". The label should be short and not a full
sentence.
For details see,
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/jdk/jfr/Label.html
I think it would be good to separate testing of JFR and logging
into different files / tests. I would prefer that the test name
is the same as the event prefixed with "Test", i.e
TestX509CertificateEvent, as this is the pattern used by other
JFR tests.
I'll take a look at that pattern again. I've separated out the
current tests into an (a) outer test to analyze the logger
output and (b) the inner test which checks for JFR correctness.
I did include extra logic to make sure that the EventHelper
configuration was working correctly. "Events.assertField" looks
very helpful. Thanks for the pointer.
Let me take on board the suggestions below and get a new webrev
out on Tuesday.
regards,
Sean.
I reworked one of the tests to how I like to see it:
/*
* @test
* @key jfr
* @library /test/lib
* @run main/othervm
jdk.jfr.event.security.TestX509CertificateEvent
*/
public class TestX509CertificateEvent {
private static final String CERTIFICATE_1 = "...";
private static final String CERTIFICATE_2 = "...";
public static void main(String... args) throws
CertificateException {
Recording r = new Recording();
r.enable(EventNames.X509Certificate).withoutStackTrace();
r.start();
CertificateFactory cf =
CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
cf.generateCertificate(new
ByteArrayInputStream(CERTIFICATE_1.getBytes()));
cf.generateCertificate(new
ByteArrayInputStream(CERTIFICATE_2.getBytes()));
// Make sure only one event per certificate
cf.generateCertificate(new
ByteArrayInputStream(CERTIFICATE_1.getBytes()));
cf.generateCertificate(new
ByteArrayInputStream(CERTIFICATE_2.getBytes()));
r.stop();
List<RecordedEvent> events = Events.fromRecording(r);
Asserts.assertEquals(events.size(), 2, "Expected two
X.509 Certificate events");
assertEvent(events, "1000", "SHA256withRSA",
"CN=SSLCertificate, O=SomeCompany",
"CN=Intermediate CA Cert, O=SomeCompany",
"RSA", 2048);
assertEvent(events, "1000", "SHA256withRSA",
"CN=SSLCertificate, O=SomeCompany",
"CN=Intermediate CA Cert, O=SomeCompany",
"RSA", 2048);
}
private static void assertEvent(List<RecordedEvent> events,
String certID, String algId, String subject,
String issuer, String keyType, int length) throws
Exception {
for (RecordedEvent e : events) {
if (e.getString("serialNumber").equals(certID)) {
Events.assertField(e, "algId").equal(algId);
...
return;
}
}
System.out.println(events);
throw new Exception("Could not find event with Cert ID:
" + certID);
}
}
The reworked example uses the Events.assertField method, which
will give context if the assertion fails. Keeping the test
simple, means it can be analyzed quickly if it fails in
testing. There is no new test framework to learn, or methods to
search for, and it is usually not hard to determine if the
failure is product, test or infrastructure related, and what
component (team) should be assigned the issue. The use of
EventNames.X509Certificate means all occurrences of the event
can be tracked done in an IDE using find by reference.
Thanks

Following on from the recent JDK-8203629 code review, I'd like
to propose enhancements on how we can record events in
security libs. The introduction of the JFR libraries can give
us much better ways of examining JDK actions. For the initial
phase, I'm looking to enhance some key security library events
in JDK 11 so that they can be either recorded to JFR, logged
to a traditional logger, or both.
Examples of how useful JFR recordings could be can be seen here :
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coffeys/event_snaps/X509Event_1.png
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coffeys/event_snaps/securityProp_1.png
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coffeys/event_snaps/securityProp_2.png
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coffeys/event_snaps/TLSEvent_1.png
securityProp_2.png gives an example of how the JFR recording
can be queried to quickly locate events of interest (in this
case, code setting the jdk.tls.* Security properties). I still
need to clean up the TLSEvents testcase to improve test
coverage and hope to do that in coming days.
