當java虛擬機啟動的時候,會啟動很多內部的線程,這些線程主要在thread.cpp裡的create_vm方法體裡實現
而在thread.cpp裡主要起了2個線程來處理信號相關的
- JvmtiExport::enter_live_phase();
-
- // Signal Dispatcher needs to be started before VMInit event is posted
- os::signal_init();
-
- // Start Attach Listener if +StartAttachListener or it can't be started lazily
- if (!DisableAttachMechanism) {
- if (StartAttachListener || AttachListener::init_at_startup()) {
- AttachListener::init();
- }
- }
1. Signal Dispatcher 線程
在os.cpp中的signal_init()函數中,啟動了signal dispatcher 線程,對signal dispather 線程主要是用於處理信號,等待信號並且分發處理,可以詳細看signal_thread_entry的方法
- static void signal_thread_entry(JavaThread* thread, TRAPS) {
- os::set_priority(thread, NearMaxPriority);
- while (true) {
- int sig;
- {
- // FIXME : Currently we have not decieded what should be the status
- // for this java thread blocked here. Once we decide about
- // that we should fix this.
- sig = os::signal_wait();
- }
- if (sig == os::sigexitnum_pd()) {
- // Terminate the signal thread
- return;
- }
-
- switch (sig) {
- case SIGBREAK: {
- // Check if the signal is a trigger to start the Attach Listener - in that
- // case don't print stack traces.
- if (!DisableAttachMechanism && AttachListener::is_init_trigger()) {
- continue;
- }
- // Print stack traces
- // Any SIGBREAK operations added here should make sure to flush
- // the output stream (e.g. tty->flush()) after output. See 4803766.
- // Each module also prints an extra carriage return after its output.
- VM_PrintThreads op;
- VMThread::execute(&op);
- VM_PrintJNI jni_op;
- VMThread::execute(&jni_op);
- VM_FindDeadlocks op1(tty);
- VMThread::execute(&op1);
- Universe::print_heap_at_SIGBREAK();
- if (PrintClassHistogram) {
- VM_GC_HeapInspection op1(gclog_or_tty, true /* force full GC before heap inspection */,
- true /* need_prologue */);
- VMThread::execute(&op1);
- }
- if (JvmtiExport::should_post_data_dump()) {
- JvmtiExport::post_data_dump();
- }
- break;
- }
- default: {
- // Dispatch the signal to java
- HandleMark hm(THREAD);
- klassOop k = SystemDictionary::resolve_or_null(vmSymbolHandles::sun_misc_Signal(), THREAD);
- KlassHandle klass (THREAD, k);
- if (klass.not_null()) {
- JavaValue result(T_VOID);
- JavaCallArguments args;
- args.push_int(sig);
- JavaCalls::call_static(
- &result,
- klass,
- vmSymbolHandles::dispatch_name(),
- vmSymbolHandles::int_void_signature(),
- &args,
- THREAD
- );
- }
- if (HAS_PENDING_EXCEPTION) {
- // tty is initialized early so we don't expect it to be null, but
- // if it is we can't risk doing an initialization that might
- // trigger additional out-of-memory conditions
- if (tty != NULL) {
- char klass_name[256];
- char tmp_sig_name[16];
- const char* sig_name = "UNKNOWN";
- instanceKlass::cast(PENDING_EXCEPTION->klass())->
- name()->as_klass_external_name(klass_name, 256);
- if (os::exception_name(sig, tmp_sig_name, 16) != NULL)
- sig_name = tmp_sig_name;
- warning("Exception %s occurred dispatching signal %s to handler"
- "- the VM may need to be forcibly terminated",
- klass_name, sig_name );
- }
- CLEAR_PENDING_EXCEPTION;
- }
- }
- }
- }
- }
可以看到通過os::signal_wait();等待信號,而在linux裡是通過sem_wait()來實現,接受到SIGBREAK(linux 中的QUIT)信號的時候(關於信號處理請參考筆者的另一篇:Java 中關於信號的處理在Linux下的實現 http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-01/51212.htm),第一次通過調用 AttachListener::is_init_trigger()初始化attach listener線程,詳細見2.Attach Listener 線程。
- 第一次收到信號,會開始初始化,當初始化成功,將會直接返回,而且不返回任何線程stack的信息(通過socket file的操作返回),並且第二次將不在需要初始化。如果初始化不成功,將直接在控制台的outputstream中打印線程棧信息。
- 第二次收到信號,如果已經初始化過,將直接在控制台中打印線程的棧信息。如果沒有初始化,繼續初始化,走和第一次相同的流程。
