摘要： A method, apparatus and computer instructions for hardware assist for autonomically patching code. The present invention provides hardware microcode to a new type of metadata to selectively identify instructions to be patched for specific performance optimization functions. The present invention also provides a new flag in the machine status register (MSR) to enable or disable a performance monitoring application or process to perform code-patching functions. If the code patching function is enabled, the application or process may patch code at run time by associating the metadata with the selected instructions. The metadata includes pointers pointing to the patch code block code. The program code may be patched autonomically without modifying original code.

摘要： A method and system for tracing profiling information using per thread metric variables with reused kernel threads is disclosed. In one embodiment kernel thread level metrics are stored by the operating system kernel. A profiler request metric information for the operating system kernel in response to an event. After the kernel thread level metrics are read by the operating system for a profiler, their values are reset to zero by the operating system kernel. The profiler then applies the metric values to base metric values to appropriate Java threads that are stored in nodes in a tree structure base on the type of event and whether or not the kernel thread has been reused. In another embodiment non-zero values of thread level metrics are entered on a liked list. In response to a request from a profiler, the operating system kernel reads each kernel thread's entry in the linked list and zeros each entry. The profiler can then update the intermediate full tree snapshots of profiling information with the collection of non-zero metric variables.

摘要： A method, apparatus and computer instructions for application based tracing and for normalization of processor clocks in a symmetric multiprocessor environment. By deliberately establishing a large skew among processor clocks, it is possible to perform application based tracing by directly using the processors. In addition, the identity, time stamp, and drift information of each processor may be used to create a time library. The time library is used to adjust a measured time to execute a program or software routine. The adjusted time is a normalized time that is statistically more accurate than the measured time alone. The adjusted time is then reported as the time to execute the program or software routine.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for autonomically counting selected branch instructions executed in a processor to improve branch predictions. Counters are provided to count branch instructions that are executed in a processor to collect branch statistics. A set of branch statistics fields is allocated to associate with a branch instruction. When a program is executed, the stored statistics allows the program to look at the branch statistics in the counter to perform branch prediction. Hence, a user may use branch statistics values from the hardware counter to perform analysis on application code.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for processing instructions. Responsive to receiving an instruction for execution in an instruction cache in a processor in the data processing system, a determination is made as to whether an indicator is associated with the instruction and whether the instruction is of a certain type within a range of instructions. An interrupt is generated if the indicator is associated with the instruction and the instruction is of the certain type within the range of instructions.

摘要： A method and system for determining the memory utilization of a heap are provided. With the method and system, object allocations and optionally, possible memory freeing events are used to initiate a mark-and-count operation. The mark-and-count operation marks the live objects and maintains a running count of their memory bytes allocated to the live objects, referred to as a live count. The execution of the mark-and-count operation may be dependent upon various criteria including thresholds, functions of the live count, peak live counts, number of memory bytes allocated since a previous mark-and-count operation was performed, and the like. In addition to the live count, a peak live count may be obtained and updated as new peak live counts are identified. When the peak live count is updated, additional information may be obtained via a heap dump, arcflow tree, or the like.

摘要： A method and system for profiling a program using periodic trace sampling is provided. During the execution of the program, sample-based profiling of the executing program is performed—for a predetermined period, a profiler performs trace processing for the program, after which the profiler pauses and does not perform trace processing for a predetermined period or only performs lightweight processing for a predetermined period. The periods controlling the profiler may be selected by a user, and the periods may be measured by temporal or non-temporal metrics. The user may also specify parameters that are used to filter events so that profiling is performed only for specified threads or methods. The profiler cycles through these periods, during which selected events are processed to generate a profile of the execution flows within the program. For each sample period, a tree data structure is generated in which nodes of the tree data structure represent the routines of the program that execute during the sample period, as may be indicated by entry and exit events caused by the execution of the routines. At the start of each sample period, execution flow information may be used to create an initial tree data structure. When the execution of the program is complete, the tree data structures from each sample period are merged into a resulting tree data structure.

摘要： A user may specify a vector of metrics to be used while profiling a program. The vector of metrics may optionally be thread-relative. In response to a notification of an occurrence of the current event, a thread-relative elapsed metric is computed by: determining a current thread; retrieving a stored reference metric for the preceding event of the current thread; obtaining a current reference metric; and computing the thread-relative elapsed metric as a difference between the current reference metric and the stored reference metric. In order to prevent the generation of redundant metric information, the information associated with the vector of metrics maybe placed into the trace records in several different space-saving formats.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a system, method and instructions for handling path flow exception and finalization processing in an object oriented programming language. Initially, each instrumentation method is checked for a code to indicated an exception being thrown. A hook is inserted before the exception code and identifies the method throwing the exception. Methods must also be checked for exception tables. When an exception table is found, then a hook is inserted at the entry point of each exception handler for every entry in the exception table. This hook identifies the method which catches the exception.
