From fd5f7984168e29df883e6208a5c098e245c65c6f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaroslav Bachorik Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2026 19:38:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 01/33] Fix GetLineNumberTable JVMTI memory leak MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fix 1.2GB memory leak in SharedLineNumberTable destructor by adding proper null checks and error handling for JVMTI Deallocate calls. Root cause: SharedLineNumberTable destructor was not properly deallocating JVMTI-allocated line number tables. Customer production NMT data showed 1.2GB leak from 3.8M GetLineNumberTable allocations. Changes: - Add null pointer checks for _ptr and jvmti before deallocation - Add error handling for Deallocate failures - Add defensive cleanup in fillJavaMethodInfo for buggy JVMTI impls Test: GetLineNumberTableLeakTest validates memory plateaus during steady state with profiler restarts (+1KB vs +20MB leak without fix). See doc/nmt-jvmti-memory-leak-investigation.md for full analysis. πŸ€– Generated with Claude Code Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/flightRecorder.cpp | 59 ++- ddprof-test/build.gradle | 25 +- .../memleak/GetLineNumberTableLeakTest.java | 415 ++++++++++++++++++ .../profiler/util/NativeMemoryTracking.java | 218 +++++++++ 4 files changed, 701 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) create mode 100644 ddprof-test/src/test/java/com/datadoghq/profiler/memleak/GetLineNumberTableLeakTest.java create mode 100644 ddprof-test/src/test/java/com/datadoghq/profiler/util/NativeMemoryTracking.java diff --git a/ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/flightRecorder.cpp b/ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/flightRecorder.cpp index 392290899..9f55839fa 100644 --- a/ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/flightRecorder.cpp +++ b/ddprof-lib/src/main/cpp/flightRecorder.cpp @@ -43,10 +43,23 @@ static const char *const SETTING_RING[] = {NULL, "kernel", "user", "any"};

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Revert GetClassMethods fix - required for AGCT profiling Revert previous commit that skipped GetClassMethods for JDK 9+. GetClassMethods must be called to preallocate jmethodIDs for AsyncGetCallTrace (AGCT), which operates in signal handlers where lock acquisition is forbidden. Root cause of 9.2GB memory growth: - AGCT requires jmethodIDs to be preallocated before profiling - GetClassMethods triggers JVM-internal jmethodID allocation - These persist until class unload (necessary for AGCT correctness) - High class churn = high jmethodID memory usage - This is NOT a fixable leak - it's inherent to AGCT architecture Failed fix broke profiling: - CpuDumpSmokeTest and WallclockDumpSmokeTest failed - Stack traces incomplete (missing method information) - AGCT couldn't identify methods without preallocated jmethodIDs Solution: Accept as cost of signal-safe profiling. Customers can: 1. Reduce class churn (cache generated classes, minimize proxies) 2. Monitor NMT Internal category growth 3.

      Without cleanup: _method_map grows unboundedly (1.2 GB over days in production) - *

      With cleanup: Methods unused for 3+ chunks are removed, memory stays bounded + *

      Memory Tracking: + *

        + *
      • NMT Internal: Tracks profiler's own malloc allocations (MethodInfo, map nodes) + *
      • RSS (Resident Set Size): Tracks total process memory including JVMTI allocations + *
      • JVMTI memory (GetLineNumberTable) is NOT tracked by NMT - only visible in RSS + *
      • TEST_LOG shows destructor calls deallocating JVMTI memory + *
      + * + *

      Expected results: + *

        + *
      • WITHOUT cleanup: method_map grows unbounded (~300k methods generated, ~30k captured) + *
      • WITH cleanup: method_map stays bounded at ~300-500 methods (age-based removal) + *
      • RSS savings: At least 10% reduction with cleanup (JVMTI memory freed) + *
      • NMT savings: Small (only MethodInfo objects, ~1-2%) + *
      • TEST_LOG shows "Cleaned up X unreferenced methods" and "Deallocated line number table" + *
