Summary -- changed the tests from (mis)using

  * @requires vm.flavor != "minimal"

to

  * @modules java.instrument

... to be consistent with other jvmti tests.

That seems like an invalid precondition to me. It would have been somewhat valid in the Compact Profiles world when we did not provide "java.instrument" in the profiles which supported MinimalVM, but you can define a minimal VM in a build that still has all modules available. I don't think building the minimal VM makes any changes to the supported modules.

Also AIUI the @modules statement simply adds the necessary command-line args to use the java.instrument module (if present), it doesn't ensure that the listed module has to be present.

It does in fact ensure that:

"Otherwise, a test will not be run if the system being tested does not contain all of the specified modules."

http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/tag-spec.html

But as I said the module could be present in a JRE but you are still using the MinimalVM.


Hi David,

As I mentioned above, I am following the same rule as other jvmti tests, which only use "@modules java.instrument" and do not check whether the VM is minimal. E.g.,

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/file/4d36e29a5410/test/hotspot/jtreg/serviceability/jvmti/GetObjectSizeClass.java


Sure but I contend those tests are wrong and the tests you are changing are right (or more right given common test configurations).

If I understand correctly, you're saying someone can build a minimal JDK (configure --with-jvm-variants=minimal), and then try to add the java.instrument module to it. I.e., adding the following module to your JDK (with jlink, or by hand).

Just build a JDK with multiple VMs present.

But this module has a native library, libinstrument.so, which requires JVMTI to be present in libjvm.so. E.g.:

     jvmtiEnv *
     retransformableEnvironment(JPLISAgent * agent) {
     ....
         jnierror = (*agent->mJVM)->GetEnv( agent->mJVM,
                                    (void **) &retransformerEnv,
                                    JVMTI_VERSION_1_1);

So if you try to run the CDS JVMTI test cases, it will be executed (because your JDK says "I have java.instrument") and the test finds out that your JDK's java.instrument module isn't working properly. So the test is doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

The whole point of the @requires is to not waste time and resources running a test on a platform that cannot run the test successfully.

So the fully correct solution could be to have both settings:

@requires vm.flavor != "minimal"
@modules java.instrument

if you require both a VM that supports JVM TI and you need a JRE that includes the java.instrument module. But that assumes your test does need java.instrument. Not all JVM TI tests need java.instrument, but all instrumentation tests depend on JVM TI. Just looking at the first three of tests in your webrev I don't see any dependency on java.instrument - they are CDS only tests as far as I can see and so require a VM with CDS which means not a Minimal VM - though perhaps it is sufficient to have the

@requires vm.cds

in those cases?

For the other JVM TI related tests using -javaagent they probably need both @requires and @module.

You can disable JVMTI with "configure --disable-jvm-feature-jvmti". So checking for vm.flavor != "minimal" is not sufficient.

Similarly, "@requires vm.cds" doesn't guarantee that JVMTI is supported.

Maybe we should have a new VM prop so we can do

@requires vm.jvmti
@modules java.instrument

I would argue that this is better than before (which would exclude the test when the libjvm.so is a minimal build, and would will not detect such a mis-configured java.instrument module.)
