Hi David,

Thank you for your detailed review. Please review a new version of the fix that 
includes
the changes you suggested:
- ThreadTableCreate_lock scope is reduced to cover the creation of the table 
only;
- ThreadTableCreate_lock is made _safepoint_check_always;

Okay.

- ServiceThread is no longer responsible for the resizing of the thread table, 
instead,
   the thread table is changed to grow on demand by the thread that is doing 
the addition;

Okay - I'm happy to get the serviceThread out of the picture here.

- fixed nits and formatting issues.

Okay.

The change also includes additional optimization for some callers of 
find_JavaThread_from_java_tid()
  as Daniel suggested.
Not sure it's best to combine these, but if they are limited to the
changes in management.cpp only then that may be okay.

The additional optimization for some callers of find_JavaThread_from_java_tid() 
is
limited to management.cpp (plus a new test) so I left them in the webrev  but
I also could move it in the separate issue if required.

I'd prefer this part of be separated out, but won't insist. Let's see if Dan or Serguei have a strong opinion.

I had to leave this code unchanged since it turned out the threadObj is null
when VM is destroyed:
V [libjvm.so+0xe165d7] oopDesc::long_field(int) const+0x67
V  [libjvm.so+0x16e06c6]  ThreadsSMRSupport::add_thread(JavaThread*)+0x116
V  [libjvm.so+0x16d1302]  Threads::add(JavaThread*, bool)+0x82
V  [libjvm.so+0xef8369]  attach_current_thread.part.197+0xc9
V  [libjvm.so+0xec136c]  jni_DestroyJavaVM+0x6c
C  [libjli.so+0x4333]  JavaMain+0x2c3
C  [libjli.so+0x8159]  ThreadJavaMain+0x9

This is actually nothing to do with the VM being destroyed, but is an issue with JNI_AttachCurrentThread and its interaction with the ThreadSMR iterators. The attach process is:
- create JavaThread
- mark as "is attaching via jni"
- add to ThreadsList
- create java.lang.Thread object (you can only execute Java code after you are attached)
- mark as "attach completed"

So while a thread "is attaching" it will be seen by the ThreadSMR thread iterator but will have a NULL java.lang.Thread object.

We special-case attaching threads in a number of places in the VM and I think we should be explicitly doing something here to filter out attaching threads, rather than just being tolerant of a NULL j.l.Thread object. Specifically in ThreadsSMRSupport::add_thread:

if (ThreadTable::is_initialized() && !thread->is_attaching_via_jni()) {
  jlong tid = java_lang_Thread::thread_id(thread->threadObj());
  ThreadTable::add_thread(tid, thread);
}

Note that in ThreadsSMRSupport::remove_thread we can use the same guard, which covers the case the JNI attach encountered an error trying to create the j.l.Thread object.

src/hotspot/share/services/threadTable.cpp
71     static uintx get_hash(Value const& value, bool* is_dead) {

The is_dead parameter still bothers me here. I can't make enough sense
out of the template code in ConcurrentHashtable to see why we have to
have it, but I'm concerned that its very existence means we perhaps
should not be trying to extend CHT in this context. ??

My understanding is that is_dead parameter provides a mechanism for
ConcurrentHashtable to remove stale entries that were not explicitly
removed by calling  ConcurrentHashTable::remove() method.
I think that just because in our case we don't use this mechanism doesn't
mean we should not use ConcurrentHashTable.

Can you confirm that this usage is okay with Robbin Ehn please. He's back from vacation this week.

I would still want to see what impact this has on thread
startup cost, both with and without the table being initialized.

I run a test that initializes the table by calling ThreadMXBean.get 
getThreadInfo(),
starts some threads as a worm-up, and then creates and starts 100,000 threads
(each thread just sleeps for 100 ms). In case when the thread table is enabled
100,000 threads are created and started  for about 15200 ms. If the thread table
is off the test takes about 14800 ms. Based on this information the enabled
thread table makes the thread startup about 2.7% slower.

That doesn't sound very good. I think we may need to Claes involved to help investigate overall performance impact here.

Webrev: https://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dtitov/8185005/webrev.04/
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8185005

No further code comments.

I didn't look at the test in detail.

Thanks,
David

The initialization allows the created but unpopulated, or partially
     populated, table to be seen by other threads - is that your intention?
     It seems it should be okay as the other threads will then race with the
     initializing thread to add specific entries, and this is a concurrent
     map so that should be functionally correct. But if so then I think you
     can also reduce the scope of the ThreadTableCreate_lock so that it
     covers creation of the table only, not the initial population of the table.
I like the approach of only initializing the table when needed and using
     that to control when the add/remove-thread code needs to update the
     table. But I would still want to see what impact this has on thread
     startup cost, both with and without the table being initialized.

Not sure it's best to combine these, but if they are limited to the
     changes in management.cpp only then that may be okay. It helps to be
     able to focus on the table related changes without being distracted by
     other optimizations.

The revised version seems better in that regard. But I still have a
     concern, see below.

Yes but why? Why can't this table be grown on demand by the thread that
     is doing the addition? For other tables we may have to delegate to the
     service thread because the current thread cannot perform the action, or
     it doesn't want to perform it at the time the need for the resize is
     detected (e.g. its detected at a safepoint and you want the resize to
     happen later outside the safepoint). It's not apparent to me that such
     restrictions apply here.

Ok. > Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dtitov/8185005/webrev.03 Some specific code comments: src/hotspot/share/runtime/mutexLocker.cpp + def(ThreadTableCreate_lock , PaddedMutex , special,
     false, Monitor::_safepoint_check_never);
I think this needs to be a _safepoint_check_always lock. The table will
     be created by regular JavaThreads and they should (nearly) always be
     checking for safepoints if they are going to block acquiring the lock.
     And it isn't at all obvious that the thread doing the creation can't go
     to a safepoint whilst this lock is held.
--- src/hotspot/share/runtime/threadSMR.cpp Nit: 618 JavaThread* thread = thread_at(i); you could reuse the new java_thread local you introduced at line 613 and
     just rename that "new" variable to "thread" so you don't have to change
     all other uses.
628 } else if (java_thread != NULL && ... You don't need to check != NULL here as you only get here when
     java_thread is not NULL.
755 jlong tid = SharedRuntime::get_java_tid(thread);
       926     jlong tid = SharedRuntime::get_java_tid(thread);
I think it cleaner/better to just use jlong tid = java_lang_Thread::thread_id(thread->threadObj()); as we know thread is not NULL, it is a JavaThread and it has to have a
     non-null threadObj.
--- src/hotspot/share/services/management.cpp 1323 if (THREAD->is_Java_thread()) {
     1324           JavaThread* current_thread = (JavaThread*)THREAD;
These calls can only be made on a JavaThread so this be simplified to
     remove the is_Java_thread() call. Similarly in other places.
--- src/hotspot/share/services/threadTable.cpp 55 class ThreadTableEntry : public CHeapObj<mtInternal> {
        56   private:
        57     jlong _tid;
I believe hotspot style is to not indent the access modifiers in C++
     class declarations, so the above would just be:
55 class ThreadTableEntry : public CHeapObj<mtInternal> {
        56 private:
        57   jlong _tid;
etc. 60 ThreadTableEntry(jlong tid, JavaThread* java_thread) :
       61     _tid(tid),_java_thread(java_thread) {}
line 61 should be indented as it continues line 60. 67 class ThreadTableConfig : public AllStatic {
        ...
        71     static uintx get_hash(Value const& value, bool* is_dead) {
The is_dead parameter still bothers me here. I can't make enough sense
     out of the template code in ConcurrentHashtable to see why we have to
     have it, but I'm concerned that its very existence means we perhaps
     should not be trying to extend CHT in this context. ??
115 size_t start_size_log = size_log > DefaultThreadTableSizeLog
       116   ? size_log : DefaultThreadTableSizeLog;
line 116 should be indented, though in this case I think a better layout
     would be:
115 size_t start_size_log =
       116       size_log > DefaultThreadTableSizeLog ? size_log :
     DefaultThreadTableSizeLog;
131 double ThreadTable::get_load_factor() {
       132   return (double)_items_count/_current_size;
       133 }
Not sure that is doing what you want/expect. It will perform integer
     division and then cast that whole integer to a double. If you want
     double arithmetic you need:
return ((double)_items_count)/_current_size; 180 jlong _tid;
     181     uintx         _hash;
Nit: no need for all those spaces before the variable name. 183 ThreadTableLookup(jlong tid)
       184     : _tid(tid), _hash(primitive_hash(tid)) {}
line 184 should be indented. 201 ThreadGet():_return(NULL) {} Nit: need space after : 211 assert(_is_initialized, "Thread table is not initialized");
       212   _has_work = false;
line 211 is indented one space too far. 229 ThreadTableEntry* entry = new ThreadTableEntry(tid,java_thread); Nit: need space after , 252 return _local_table->remove(thread,lookup); Nit: need space after , Thanks,
