Summary of problem
Javacore generation with kill -3 completely freezes JVM on 8.0.7.10 onwards for process with high number of threads
The HMC Next product moved from 8.0.7.6 to 8.0.7.10 and this problem started. In the product test environment, every time a javacore is generated using kill -3, the Java process completely hangs, and absolutely no response or movement within the JVM.
As the Issue is on high priority and as the hang occurs during javacore generation which is the basic functionality we expect getting more similar issues from other customers as well starting from Java 8.0.7.10.
@tajila@pshipton Could you please consider providing a command line option so that the resolving of function name can be disabled/enabled?
From service perspective, this new option is needed because :
Resolving the function names at least are time consuming and could be problematic (just like this current issue).
Most customers do not care about the function names in the native stack trace
We only care about the native stack trace function names to resolve crash issues and hangs in native stack traces.
We have the nativeDecoder to get the information from the generated javacore file or native stderr messages.
We can use gdb/gcore to obtain the information if necessary.
We do not have this information in Javacore files for so many years.
Thanks in Advance for all your help on this issue!
