11772

17.12.0.0

Zing tools do not work with an OEM license because the entry point JAR file is loaded by bootstrap.

12010

17.11.1.0

ZVM garbage collector related process abort at C [libjvm.so+0x29672c] GPGC_Layout::addr_to_BasePageForSpace.

10064

17.10.0.0

ZVM crashed due to incorrect deoptimization in clone intrinsic implementation.

11612

17.06.2.0

A bug in a function call in the optimized intrinsic code for AES.

Too many recompilations on a particular method results in the same being marked "do not-compile any longer".

4702

17.03.0.0

Use of the OnOutOfMemoryError flag triggers a crash.

8298

16.12.3.0

New generation relocation aborts can lead to Java heap live set growth. This affects ZVM versions 16.01.0.0 through ZVM 16.12.2.

9463

16.12.3.0

Frequent New GC cycles can lead to Java heap live set growth. When the New GC intercycle time is lower than the promotion threshold, objects can be retained in the new generation causing a growth in the live set. This affects ZVM versions 15.09.0.0 through ZVM 16.12.2.

7911

16.12.2.0

Crash with the following problematic frame: C [libjvm.so+0x38d1c2] jvmti_GetTime+0x62.

9050

16.12.2.0

On some RHEL 5 systems, where the command: find /sys/devices/system/cpu -name thread_siblings produces a list of files that is in descending numerical order by a CPU directory name, ThreadOpt will exit with an IndexOutOfBoundsException.

9086

16.12.1.0

Applications can hang when ZVM runs with the Falcon compiler.

8655

16.12.0.0

Crash due to usage of the +UseFastJNIAccessors option. The option has not been implemented yet. To avoid crashing the option marked as unchangeable.

6520

16.12.0.0

No timestamp generated with the +PrintGCDetails option alone on command line causes gcLogAnalyser "unable to read".

8561

16.10.1.0

ZVM can exit due to code cache exhaustion by Java monitors. Applications which make heavy use of Java monitors either due to lock contention or wait/notify mechanisms, can potentially see a high footprint related to monitors in the code cache.

8224

16.10.0.0

A stray C2 thread is running at 100% CPU without making any forward progress.

8071

16.07.1.0

C-Heap Leak happens in raw-monitor creation. RawMonitors are leaking semaphore objects which are eagerly created during VMLock creation.

The fix includes releasing sem_t objects and calling sem_destroy.

7756

16.07.1.0

ZVM crashes with the following problematic frame: [libjvm.so+0x318ab3] java_lang_Class::as_klassOop(oopDesc*)+0x23.

2820

16.07.1.0

Nashorn benchmark stalls after encountering data error processing profile log error (error: 101) while running Nashorn benchmarks with ReadyNow enabled. The fix adds supports for dealing with Nashorn and eliminates this issue.

4758

16.07.0.0

Additional control flags introduced to prevent startup crashes due to usage of ProfileLogIn. Following are those control flags: * ProfileUsePersistedInstructionData * ProfileProactivelyCompileC1 * ProfileProactivelyCompileC2

4811

16.07.0.0

jstat -profile (and -profileerrors) returned unresolved symbols when ProfileLogIn is not specified. The fix now ensures that zeros will be printed instead of unresolved symbols.

5803

16.07.0.0

Wrong class was being loaded only when using the ProfileLogIn profile. The fix implements safe mode for ReadyNow to avoid an improper speculative load that might produce a misleading and worrisome report.

6300

16.07.0.0

Removed non-relevant data from graphs (Old Gen Collector: App Threads Delay and Pages Promoted).

6778

16.07.0.0

ReadyNow failed to recognize the generated Lambda classes as generated. The fix implements safe mode for ReadyNow to use when ReadyNow’s generated class heuristics do not work for a class generator.

7422

16.07.0.0

Enabling ProfileLiveObjects seems to increase GC cycle durations significantly. The fix implements an improved hash function along with few other optimizations resulting in reduced GC cycle durations.

7434

16.07.0.0

The default value of MlockLevel has been changed to 1 from 0: * MlockLevel=0 – do not attempt any mlocks * MLockLevel=1 – quietly attempt to mlock libjvm.so

7451

16.07.0.0

Crash with the following problematic frame: StubRoutines::find_SEGV_continuation_address.

7654

16.07.0.0, 16.01.7.0

Resolving an orphaned FinalLive objects through JNI weak handle during ConcurrentRefProcessing could lead to the following crash: guarantee(loop_count < size) failed: should have found the relocation record

7422

16.01.7.0

Enabling ProfileLiveObjects seems to increase GC cycle durations significantly. The fix implements an improved hash function along with few other optimizations resulting in reduced GC cycle durations.

5547

16.01.7.0

When running on some Cassandrs nodes, the following enexpected error has been detected: guarantee(GPGC_Marks::is_any_marked_strong_live(obj)) failed: NewGen oop at final clear not strong live

6907

16.01.6.0

aCrash due to an internal error:

guarantee(loop_count < size) failed: should have found the relocation record

The fix ensures that a class of a Java object is treated as StrongLive even if that object is itself only FinalLive. This guarantees that the classes of FinalLive objects cannot be orphaned before the StrongLive mark-through of FinalLive referents, and will ensure their relocation.

6058, 6108

16.01.5.0

High GC pauses due to JVM code being paged out. The fix introduces a new command-line option MlockLevel, which can be tuned. If the flag is set without a value, the default ensures no page JVM code page-outs. The option specifies one of four mlock strategies: . Do not attempt any mlock (EARLY) . mlock libjvm.so text region (LATE) . mlockall (EARLY) . mlockall (LATE)

Example: use -XX:+MlockLevel=1001 to attempt strategy 1 while reporting verbosely. This option should be used only with guidance of Azul Support.

6258

16.01.5.0

A random error code is being returned from the JDK method: java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences.lockFile0().

6436

16.01.5.0

In ZVision, clicking on the tty_lock entry in zvision → threads → contention causes a crash.

6631

16.01.5.0

+MinimizeJNICriticalLock causes an IllegalArgumentException in java.util.zip.Deflater.deflate.

6898

16.01.5.0

Nginx-Clojure does not work with Zing because the linker option -Wl,-soname,libjvm.so has not been passed and the libjvm.so library cannot be found.

7071

16.01.5.0

Zing VM can crash at very early stages due to lack of system resources.

6542

16.01.3.0

Applications that use large chunks(>100s of MBs) of DirectByteBuffer could potentially face high TTSP times in New/OldGC pause3 because of the deallocation of these buffers.

6791

16.01.3.0

NullPointerException caused by wrong code generated from C2.

6938

16.01.3.0

Thread.sleep can sleep ~30% longer than specified when the Intel pstate driver is enabled. The pstate driver can be disabled to workaround this problem with older ZVMs.

You can determine whether the pstate driver has been enabled by checking /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver for the string “intel_pstate”.

6956

16.01.3.0

A race condition in CodeCache::GPGC_unlink can cause a crash when there are multiple GenPauselessOldThreads. This affects ZVM versions 16.01.0.0, 16.01.1.0, and 16.01.2.0. For these ZVMs, the workaround is to set -XX:GenPauselessOldThreads=1 but this can cause a spike in Old GC cycle times for applications with a large live set.

6736

16.01.2.0

Fatal error in native method: JDWP PushLocalFrame: Unable to push JNI frame, jvmtiError=AGENT_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY(188).

6124

Memory-tracking functions to record the use of the native memory. For more details, see the Native Memory Tracking section of the Zing 16.01.0.0 User Guide.

5478

16.01.0.0

As of ZVM 14.09.0.0, a difference in the version of libstdc on the system and the libstdc version that is statically linked into libjvm could cause a crash due to malloc corruption.

5626

16.01.0.0

The printir compiler command dumps out C2 node IR phase by phase for a specific Java method.
