The first part is done as part of // a normal GC cycle when objects are marked or evacuated. At this time a check is // applied on each object to check if it is a candidate for deduplication. If so, the // object is placed on the deduplication queue for later processing. The second part, // processing the objects on the deduplication queue, is a concurrent phase which // starts right after the stop-the-wold marking/evacuation phase. This phase is // executed by the deduplication thread, which pulls deduplication candidates of the // deduplication queue and tries to deduplicate them. // // A deduplication hashtable is used to keep track of all unique character arrays // used by String objects. When deduplicating, a lookup is made in this table to see // if there is already an identical character array somewhere on the heap. If so, the // String object is adjusted to point to that character array, releasing the reference // to the original array allowing it to eventually be garbage collected. If the lookup // fails the character array is instead inserted into the hashtable so that this array // can be shared at some point in the future. // // Candidate selection // // An object is considered a deduplication candidate if all of the following // statements are true: // // - The object is an instance of java.lang.String // // - The object is being evacuated from a young heap region // // - The object is being evacuated to a young/survivor heap region and the // object's age is equal to the deduplication age threshold // // or // // The object is being evacuated to an old heap region and the object's age is // less than the deduplication age threshold // // Once an string object has been promoted to an old region, or its age is higher // than the deduplication age threshold, is will never become a candidate again. // This approach avoids making the same object a candidate more than once. // // Interned strings are a bit special. They are explicitly deduplicated just before // being inserted into the StringTable (to avoid counteracting C2 optimizations done // on string literals), then they also become deduplication candidates if they reach // the deduplication age threshold or are evacuated to an old heap region. The second // attempt to deduplicate such strings will be in vain, but we have no fast way of // filtering them out. This has not shown to be a problem, as the number of interned // strings is usually dwarfed by the number of normal (non-interned) strings. // // For additional information on string deduplication, please see JEP 192, // http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/192 // #include "memory/allocation.hpp" #include "oops/oop.hpp" #include "runtime/atomic.hpp" class OopClosure; class BoolObjectClosure; class ThreadClosure; class outputStream; class G1StringDedupTable; class G1GCPhaseTimes; // // Main interface for interacting with string deduplication. // class G1StringDedup : public AllStatic { private: // Single state for checking if both G1 and string deduplication is enabled. static bool _enabled; // Candidate selection policies, returns true if the given object is // candidate for string deduplication. static bool is_candidate_from_mark(oop obj); static bool is_candidate_from_evacuation(bool from_young, bool to_young, oop obj); public: // Returns true if both G1 and string deduplication is enabled. static bool is_enabled() { return _enabled; } // Initialize string deduplication. static void initialize(); // Stop the deduplication thread. static void stop(); // Immediately deduplicates the given String object, bypassing the // the deduplication queue. static void deduplicate(oop java_string); // Enqueues a deduplication candidate for later processing by the deduplication // thread.
