PR21020: reorganize data passing abi for java method parameters

Under a new ABI, all java object types are supported for passing to
java-method probes, by converting them all within the JVM to strings.
The systemtap script side now gets $argX being all utf-char-pointers,
which are loaded into script-side string variables with synthetic
user_string_warn() function calls.

A backward compatibility ABI is preserved in the java helper class
as well as the translator, under --compatible=3.0.

The java testsuite is drastically simplified (and execution time
shortened) to one class.  These now test string and object passing
too, with it and stapbm extended to be able to locate the HelperSDT
jar / .so files within the systemtap installation $prefix.  This way,
the system /usr/lib/jvm/.... path does not need to be populated just
for stap tests to run.  (We should sometime extend the tests to cover
all the argument arities, but eyeballing looks OK for now.)

on RHEL7.  This patch adds a few little fixes making the feature
work on RHEL6 and Fedora19+ systems.  Changes:

configure.ac: Make the dracut bin dir configurable at the configure
  time.  This is because of Fedora systems that have the dracut binary
  located in /usr/bin rather than /sbin which is the typical location
  for RHEL.  Also mark initscript/99stap/{install,check} as AC config
  files.
initscript/99stap/{install,check}.in: These files are bodies of the
  install() and check() functions defined in module-setup.sh extracted
  into standalone executable shell scripts. The older dracut shipped
  with RHEL6 expects these bits right there.
initscript/99stap/start-staprun.sh: Don't create the pid file at this
  stage.  This script runs very early at the "cmdline" dracut hoo time.
  At this time, RHEL7 systems offer writable /run directory, so that
  the pid file can be stored there, but RHEL6 systems do not have a
  writable place like that.  Rhel6 only has /dev writable at that
  stage, but misusing /dev for the pid file purposes wouldn't be clean.
  So we use a mechanism based on /proc cescribed below instead.
initscript/systemtap.in:  Don't move over any pid files from
  /var/run/systemtap, because we stopped creating pid files at the
  boot time per above.  Instead we use stap -E to add a probe
  advertising the running service in /proc/systemtap.

7 years agoIntroduce runtime optimizations for statistical computations per PR10234.
Martin Cermak [Wed, 5 Oct 2016 06:59:42 +0000 (08:59 +0200)]
Introduce runtime optimizations for statistical computations per PR10234.

This update improves the performance of systemtap runtime statistical
computations by optimizing out unneeded parts of the __stp_stat_add()
function.  It is based on parametrizing and inlining it.  The stap
translator now generates _stp_stat_add(), or _stp_pmap_add_*() calls
that have additional "optimization" parameters respective to stats
in use for given global.  GCC uses this for optimizing the inlined
__stp_stat_add() calls.

The optimization effect significantly depends on compiler version,
platform architecture, and the stat operators being used for given
global.  At the moment, the available stat operators are @count,
@sum, @min, @max, @avg, and @variance. The most computionally
expensive is @variance.  The effect of optimizing @variance is
significant.  Other stat operators are computionally chap and so
the effect of their optimizations is relatively low.

Using gcc-6.2.1-1.fc26.x86_64, the @count, @sum, @min, and @max
optimizations brings approximately 8% run time shrinkage. The
@variance optimization shrinkage is up to 70% using this compiler.
For other architectures, namely for power, the optimization is less
effective.

runtime/map-gen.c: Pass the additional optimization parameters through
the map API generator macros.
runtime/map.c: Modify _new_map_set_stat() to accept optimization
        additional parameters.

PR20423: tweak error message generation for case without e->components[]

... e.g. a case where a C function returns a struct, $return would
trigger the "... is being accessed instead of member" message, but the
operative tok* is the e node, not a member of the empty
e->components[].
