Use ThreadLocal to setup protection longjmp buffer and fix jmp_buf chaining by zhengyu123 · Pull Request #615 · DataDog/java-profiler

zhengyu123 · 2026-06-24T20:23:52Z

What does this PR do?:
This PR intents to resolve some of mysterious crashes seen in later releases, e.g. PROF-15206, although, it might not actually solve this particular problem, but I believe it should have positive impact - Cloude and I believe that overwriting JavaThread's exception field is dangerous, in fact, overwriting any JVM data structures are dangerous, because the writes can result in races and readers may see wrong values, that can lead to crashes.

Before introducing Thread Local Handshake in JVM, thread object is usually only read by 'current` thread, so it is relative safe to alter, then restore values inside signal handler, but not any more - a thread may be able to read other thread's states before it decides how to proceed the handshake, so it may read wrong values.

This PR:
Avoid altering JavaThread for jmp_buf
Uses a thread local for storing longjmp buffer and eliminates the dependency on overwriting JavaThread's exception field, so

Avoiding other thread reads wrong value of the exception field.
longjmp now protects all threads, not just JavaThread - should improve stability.

Chaining jmp_buf
A none signal based sampler can be interrupted by signal based sampler. Therefore, there may be multiple walkVM() calls on stack, each of them sets up a protection jmp_buf for stack walk, the jmp_bufs need to be chained to ensure to jump back to expected location.

Motivation:
Improve profiler's stability.

Additional Notes:
In additional, exception field only exists in JavaThread, but detection code in Profiler is somewhat questionable, especially, for the subclasses of JavaThread

How to test the change?:

CI tests
New unit tests

A few minor/clarifying comments. Otherwise good to go.

…from deleted thread.h to threadLocalData.h PR #615 (origin/main) renamed thread.cpp to threadLocalData.cpp and deleted thread.h, absorbing ProfiledThread into threadLocalData.h. Our branch had modified thread.h to add per-thread JFR-inflight tracking. Resolution: - Delete thread.h (accept deletion from main) - Port _registry_head/_registry_lock static members to threadLocalData.h - Port _jfr_inflight/_registry_next instance members to threadLocalData.h - Port enterJfrInflight/exitJfrInflight/jfrInflight methods to threadLocalData.h - Port forEachRegistered/registryInsert/registryRemove declarations to threadLocalData.h - Update signalInflight.cpp to include threadLocalData.h instead of thread.h - threadLocalData.cpp already has implementation (correctly auto-merged)
