JVMTI Profiler in TPTP 4.6

1. Introduction
---------------
This package contains the JVMTI-based Data Collector for TPTP.
It includes call-graph, heap and thread data collectors built on top of a 
simplified interface for developing Java agents for JVMs that implement the Java 
Virtual Machine Tools Interface (JVMTI).
This file describes the dependencies, environments, and procedures necessary to 
compile and test the JVMTI Agent and SDK libraries on Windows and Linux 
platforms.

2. Installing the Package
-------------------------
The package is included with the New Technology Agent Controller installation.
The java Profiler runtime is contained in the 
(<AC_HOME>\plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler) directory.

3. Running the JVMTI Agent
--------------------------
* Running from the command line (Standalone Mode)
The Java Profiler can be used as a standalone application to collect 
profiling data info a file. The data emitted by the Profiler complies with the 
XML4Profiling Java Trace Model Specification. The output file can be imported to 
the Eclipse workbench using the import profiling file option available in TPTP.

The Java Profiler can be launched from the command line by typing the following
command at the prompt:

java -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent[:help|<global options>];
     <profiler>[:<profiler options>] <Java Class>

Where:
  help ? displays a brief usage message. For example,
  java -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:help;CGProf

  <options> - comma-separated command line options, provided as name-value pairs.
              Both global and profiler-specific options are supported. 
   
  Supported global options:
    server=standalone|enabled|controlled ? specifies the profiler’s operation mode. 
                                           Refer to the online documentation
                                           for a detailed description of these
                                           operation modes.
    file=<file> - specifies the trace data output file name. If this option is 
                  omitted, the output will be written to a file named 
                  trace.trcxml in the current directory. Only applicable when 
                  server=standalone.
    filters=<file> - specifies the filters definition file. If this option is 
                     omitted, the profiler will look for filter definitions in 
                     a file named filters.txt in the current directory 
                     (if such file exists). 
                     Only applicable when server=standalone. 
    profiler=<file> - specifies the profiling options file. If this option is 
                      omitted, the profiler will look for profiling options in 
                      a file named jvmti.pro in the current directory 
                      (if such file exists). 
                      Only applicable when server=standalone.
    api=true|false - Whether to enable the Profiler API or not. Default is false.
                     The Profiler API feature is fully supported by the 
                     Heap and Thread profilers. The feature is partially 
                     supported by the Execution Time profiler (CGProf). See the
                     CGProf section below for more information.
    stackmap=true|false - Whether to recalculate the StackMapTable attribute of
                          instrumented methods. 
                          Use only when experiencing verification errors in 
						  Java 1.6+. Default is false.
    format=binary|xml - Output trace format. Default is xml.
    
  <profiler> - the profiler to launch:
    CGProf ? execution time analysis
    Supported options:
      execdetails=true|false - whether to collect execution flow information 
                               (true) or only method execution statistics (false).
                               Default is true
      * NOTES: 
      (1) CGProf supports the Profiler API feature only when the 
          "execdetails=true" option is used. CGProf will ignore Profiler APIs 
          when "execdetails=false".
                               
    HeapProf ? memory analysis
    Supported options:
      allocsites=true|false - whether to collect information on the location
                              (method and line number) where objects were
                              allocated (true) or not (false).
                              Default it false
	  heapInstanceData=true|false - whether to enable heap instance data 
	  						  collection.
	  						  Default is false
                              
    ThreadProf ? thread analysis
    Supported options:
      contanalysis=true|false - whether to collect lock usage information
                                for thread contention analysis.
      maxstackdepth=<number of frames> - limit the size of the stack trace
                                         reported by the profiler.

  <Java Class> - the Java class to execute


To run the Java Profiler according to whether environmental variable PATH(Windows)/
LD_LIBRARY_PATH(Linux) is available on your system:
(1) Avaliable
  (1.1) In standalone mode
   a) Add profilers path info into environmental variable:
     (Windows)Set PATH=<<Agent Controller Home>>\plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler;%PATH%
     (Linux)export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<<Agent Controller Home>>/plugins/org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   b) Execute any of the following commands:
   On Windows:
   CPU Profiling (call-graph):
   java -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone;CGProf <<Your
   Application to profile>>

   Heap Profiling:
   java -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone;HeapProf <<Your
   Application to profile>>

   Thread Profiling:
   java -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone;ThreadProf <<Your
   Application to profile>>

   On Linux:
   CPU Profiling (call-graph):
   java '-agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone;CGProf' <<Your
   Application to profile>>

  (1.2) In enabled or controlled mode
   a) Add profilers path and agent controller library info into environmental variable:
     (Windows)Set PATH=<<Agent Controller Home>>\plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler;<<Agent Controller Home>>\bin;%PATH%
     (Linux)export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<<Agent Controller Home>>/plugins/org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler:<<Agent Controller Home>>/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   b) Execute any of the commands as in (1.1) just replace 'server=standalone' with 'server=enabled' or 'server=controlled'.
   
 

(2) Not avaliable
   Because profilers you use are agent controller contains, you should use -agentpath and environmental variable setting is not needed.

   On Windows:
   CPU Profiling (call-graph):
   java -agentpath:<<Agent Controller Home>>\plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler\JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone;CGProf <<Your
   Application to profile>>

   Heap Profiling:
   java -agentlib:<<Agent Controller Home>>\plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler\JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone;HeapProf <<Your
   Application to profile>>

   Thread Profiling:
   java -agentlib:<<Agent Controller Home>>\plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler\JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=standalone;ThreadProf <<Your
   Application to profile>>

   On Linux:
   CPU Profiling (call-graph):
   java '-agentpath:<<Agent Controller Home>>\plugins\org.eclipse.tptp.javaprofiler\libJPIBootLoader.so=JPIAgent:server=standalone;CGProf' <<Your
   Application to profile>>

 

In all of the examples above, the profiling output will be written to a file 
named trace.trcxml in the current directory.

NOTE: On Linux, make sure to surround the entire –agentlib argument with single 
quotes (as shown above). Otherwise, the Linux shell may interpret the ; 
preceding CGProf as a command terminator and the Java application will not be 
executed.

* Running from the command line, to be discovered by the Eclipse Workbench 
(Enabled or Controlled modes)

Repeat the steps for running the Profiler in standalone mode and change the 
command line as shown below:

java -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=enabled;CGProf <<Your 
Application to profile>>

or 

java -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=controlled;CGProf <<Your 
Application to profile>>

* Running from the Workbench (Controlled Mode)
This mode is used by the Eclipse Client to launch an Application under the 
profiler.
java.exe -agentlib:JPIBootLoader=JPIAgent:server=controlled;CGProf <<Your 
Application to profile>>
