Seems okay. Someone from serviceability should give their opinion on the content.

I do not understand the use case that this additional information solves for, nor does the bug provide any further enlightenment, I think this ER requires more rationale to motivate its inclusion.

I do not understand the use case that this additional information solves for, nor does the bug provide any further enlightenment, I think this ER requires more rationale to motivate its inclusion.

Currently the info about the JVMTI agents in the hserr/hsinfo is not good. You might see them in the so/dll list and maybe command-line output but this is far from ideal. A little separate section gives more clarity.
Bad JVMTI agents (and even good ones) can influence what is going on at runtime so that info should be present.

TheRealMDoerr

Nice enhancement! Could you add an example output to the description, please?

Looks fine, two bikeshedding nits.

I approve now, up to you if you take my suggestions.

+      const char* instrumentinfo = agent->is_instrument_lib() ? "instrumentlib" : "";
+      const char* loadinfo = agent->is_loaded() ? "loaded" : "not loaded";
+      const char* initinfo = agent->is_initialized() ? "initialized" : "not initialized";


I would just print these as flags, its clearer and simpler to print. E.g.

"myagent path: mylib.so dynamic:1 loaded:1 instrument_lib:0 initialized:1 xxx options xxx"

+  while (it.has_next()) {
+    const JvmtiAgent* agent = it.next();
+    if (agent != nullptr) {
+      if (first_agent) st->print_cr("JVMTI agents:");


if no agents are loaded, I would print "JVMTI agents: none" unconditionally. Makes it more obvious than just a missing entry; that could be also an error.

MBaesken · 2024-12-13T15:51:37Z

Nice enhancement! Could you add an example output to the description, please?

Currently it looks like this

JVMTI agents:
asyncProfiler path:none, loaded, initialized   options:start,flat=10000,interval=50us,traces=1,event=wall,loglevel=none

(example is from a JVM started with async-profiler : images/jdk/bin/java -agentlib:asyncProfiler=start,flat=10000,interval=50us,traces=1,event=wall,loglevel=none .... )

MBaesken · 2024-12-13T15:57:31Z

Maybe after the while loop something like this ?

  bool first_agent = true;
  while (it.has_next()) {
      ...
  }
  **if (first_agent) st->print_cr("JVMTI agents: none");**

You can do it before the loop:

if (it.has_next()) {
  st->print_cr("JVMTI agents:");
} else {
  st->print_cr("JVMTI agents: none");
}

and get rid of first_agent variable

MBaesken · 2024-12-16T08:13:50Z

When printing 'JVMTI agents: none' , should I maybe better iterate JvmtiAgentList::all() to get the xrun agents as well and be sure that there are really none ?
Unfortunately JvmtiAgentList::all() is private , any objections making it public ? Otherwise we probably need to call 2 iterations (agents() and xrun_agents()).

TheRealMDoerr

LGTM.

MBaesken · 2024-12-16T14:32:54Z

Hi Martin, David, Thomas, thanks for the reviews !

(should we consider adding the JVMTI agent output to jcmd too as a separate command/option? (but not in this change) )

Assume a customer uses a tool like the async profiler and causes a JVM crash by doing that. A supporter looks at the hs_err file and wonders about what might have happened. Such a hint would be very helpful.

I was referring to the suggestion that there should be a jcmd to emit
agent info ... I dont see that as useful

MBaesken · 2024-12-16T18:22:19Z

jcmd to emit agent info

Okay, then let's avoid adding it to jcmd; for hserr/hsinfo adding the info is more important.

My idea was that currently we can do 'data dump' and 'load agents' with jcmd

JVMTI.agent_load
JVMTI.data_dump

So for completeness, when you offer loading agents, it might be useful to be able to show the current agents with the same tool jcmd. But on the other hand you are probably correct that this new option might not be used a lot so it is maybe not worth the effort.

Since we already have VM.info jcmd, which after your patch already shows jvmti info, a separate command would be redundant, no?
