[DRLVM][GC] Let's switch back to GCv4.1 --> Re: [snapshot] Freezing the code for Milestone build?

After some remote exploration on the testing machine, I realized the
reason why I couldn't reproduce it in my local machines. It's because
we need some trick to let the 32-bit application to run with 1.5GB
heap size. Without the trick, a normal build can only permit maximal
900MB heap size.

This means GCv5 was not thoroughly tested with 1.5GB heap size yet. I
will learn from Sergey on how to build DRLVM for 1.5GB heap size and
go more testing then after.

Thanks,
xiaofeng

Ok, thanks Xiao-Feng.  At least we learnt a bit more about GCv5, and we
can put it back in after this build is completed.

Aleksey, this is COOL! Will follow your instruction to build it.

Re: [DRLVM][GC] Let's switch back to GCv4.1 --> Re: [snapshot] Freezing the code for Milestone build?

Posted by Aleksey Shipilev <al...@gmail.com>.
Hi, Xiao-Feng!

I will explain the trick "How to get DRL VM acquire >1Gb of heap".

The problem is predefined base address in some of the libraries: they
are going to load at predefined location in system memory thus causing
fragmentation of possible heap space. Since there are problems on
allocating non-continuous heap, there's no possibility to allocate big
chunk of memory. So we will need to relocate some libraries to another
location.

This time we have only by-hand solution, which could be
machine-dependent. The idea is simple: try to allocate as much as we
can and see what blocks us. I've used the simple test:

	public class HeapTest {

		public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
			System.out.println("HeapTest started");
			System.in.read();
		}

	}

Then I run this test with max of possible heap:

	harmony-hdk-r532358/jdk/jre/bin/java -Xms900M -Xmx900M
-XX:vm.dlls=gc_gen.dll -XX:gc.use_large_page=true HeapTest

...and see the DLL distribution across the memory: you could use
ProcessExplorer from SysInternals.com to obtain that list. I have this
picture:

	Name		Base		Size
	unicode.nls	0x260000	0x16000

Let's try to merge these chunks together. We will use the editbin
utility from MS Platform SDK. I checked that editbin is on my $PATH
and then run the following script:
	
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE java.exe

	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84000000 hythr.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84500000 hysig.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84550000 hyprt.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84600000 hyzlib.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84650000 hytext.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84700000 vmi.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84750000 hyluni.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84800000 hyarchive.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84850000 hynio.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x84900000 hycharset.dll

	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x85500000 gc_cc.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x85500000 gc_gen.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x85600000 harmonyvm.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x86100000 zlib1.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x86200000 em.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x86300000 jitrino.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /rebase:base=0x87000000 hysecurity.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /REBASE:BASE=0x87030000 icuuc34.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /REBASE:BASE=0x87100000 icudt34.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /REBASE:BASE=0x87200000 icuin34.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /REBASE:BASE=0x87300000 icuin34.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /REBASE:BASE=0x87400000 icuin34.dll
	editbin /LARGEADDRESSAWARE /REBASE:BASE=0x87500000 ICUInterface34.dll

either on jre/bin and jre/bin/default directories.

The idea is simple too: we are moving the libraries at the end of
memory and base them there. Note that this script is really OS/build
dependent since the initial distribution is unknown.

After applying these transformations I was able to run the test again
with larger heap:

	$ harmony-hdk-r532358/jdk/jre/bin/java -Xms1700M -Xmx1700M
-XX:vm.dlls=gc_gen.dll -XX:gc.use_large_page=true  HeapTest
	GC use large pages.
	HeapTest started

Horray! Then I make sure that it worked out fine:

Hopefully, my script will work OOB. If there any problems, we will try
to reiterate the moving one more time on another addresses. Note that
relocating of MS Windows system libraries is the challenge (and one
could consider this unfair) - since Windows will try to fight you :)

Finding the bugs and fixing them only makes the software better

Hope we will get gcv5 back soon.

I've switched it back. Thanks, xiaofeng
