This + ensures that subsequent `SAVE_IMPORT` reads get the real libc function pointers + rather than the PLT resolver. + +2. **`SAVE_IMPORT(func)`** — reads the resolved GOT entry for each symbol from the + profiler library's own import table and stores it in the corresponding + `_orig_` static pointer. + +3. **`detectNestedMalloc()`** — probes whether the platform's `calloc` implementation + calls `malloc` internally (as musl does). If so, `calloc_hook` and + `posix_memalign_hook` are replaced with dummy variants (`calloc_hook_dummy`, + `posix_memalign_hook_dummy`) that forward to the originals without recording, to + prevent double-accounting. The dummy hooks preserve the caller frame pointer so + that the actual call site is not obscured. + +4. **`patchLibraries()`** — iterates over all currently loaded native libraries and + writes the hook addresses into each library's GOT, under `_patch_lock`. + `_patched_libs` is a monotonic counter so that already-patched libraries are + skipped on subsequent calls. + +`_initialized` is set to `true` after the first successful `initialize()` call. +`patchLibraries()` is called again on every subsequent `start()` to pick up any +libraries loaded between profiler sessions. + +--- + +## Dynamic Library Handling + +When the application calls `dlopen`, the profiler's `dlopen_hook` (installed as a +GOT hook for `dlopen`) calls `MallocTracer::installHooks()` after the library is +loaded: + +```cpp +// profiler.cpp +void* Profiler::dlopen_hook(const char* filename, int flags) { + void* result = dlopen(filename, flags); + if (result != NULL) { + Libraries::instance()->updateSymbols(false); + MallocTracer::installHooks(); + } + return result; +} +``` + +`installHooks()` calls `patchLibraries()` only if `_running` is `true`, so newly +loaded libraries are automatically hooked without requiring a profiler restart. + +--- + +## Sampling + +Allocation recording is gated by a byte-level counter using +`Engine::updateCounter()`: + +```cpp +// engine.h — lock-free CAS loop +static bool updateCounter(volatile u64& counter, u64 value, u64 interval) { + if (interval <= 1) return true; // nativemem=0: record every allocation + while (true) { + u64 prev = counter, next = prev + value; + if (next < interval) { + if (__sync_bool_compare_and_swap(&counter, prev, next)) return false; + } else { + if (__sync_bool_compare_and_swap(&counter, prev, next % interval)) return true; + } + } +} +``` + +`_allocated_bytes` is the shared volatile counter; `_interval` is set from +`args._nativemem`. A sample is recorded only when `updateCounter` returns `true` +(i.e. the counter crosses an `_interval` boundary). Multiple threads compete via CAS +so no mutex is needed for the counter itself. + +Free events bypass the counter — every free is always recorded (unless `nofree` is +set), because omitting frees would make leak detection impossible. + +--- + +## Stack Trace Capture + +### Why `CSTACK_VM` is needed + +The malloc hooks execute on the calling thread with no signal context (`ucontext == +NULL`). Native stack unwinding via frame pointers or DWARF requires a signal context +as the starting point, so neither `CSTACK_DEFAULT` nor `CSTACK_FP` can produce +useful traces for malloc events. + +`CSTACK_VM` uses HotSpot's `JavaFrameAnchor` (lastJavaPC / lastJavaSP / lastJavaFP) +to walk Java frames, and falls back to `__builtin_return_address` for the native +portion. This works correctly from inside a malloc hook because the anchor is set +whenever the JVM has transitioned from Java to native. + +### Default stack mode + +`CSTACK_VM` is the global default (`arguments.h`). On a HotSpot JVM with VMStructs +available this gives the best stack traces for all profiling modes. If VMStructs are +not available, `profiler.cpp` downgrades to `CSTACK_DEFAULT` at startup: + +```cpp +} else if (_cstack == CSTACK_VM) { + if (!VMStructs::hasStackStructs()) { + _cstack = CSTACK_DEFAULT; + Log::warn("VMStructs stack walking is not supported …"); + } +} +``` + +### Code path in `recordSample` + +```cpp +// profiler.cpp line 839 +if (event_type == BCI_NATIVE_MALLOC && _cstack >= CSTACK_VM) { + // walkVM starts from callerPC()/callerFP() and walks native frames + // until it reaches the thread's JavaFrameAnchor for Java frames. + int vm_frames = StackWalker::walkVM(ucontext /*NULL*/, frames + num_frames, + max_remaining, _features, + eventTypeFromBCI(event_type), + lock_index, &truncated); + num_frames += vm_frames; +} +``` + +`getNativeTrace` returns 0 immediately for `_cstack >= CSTACK_VM` (line 316), so +native frames from `walkFP`/`walkDwarf` are not collected — `walkVM` is the sole +source of both native and Java frames for malloc events. + +--- + +## JFR Event Format + +Two new event types are defined in `jfrMetadata.cpp` under the +`Java Virtual Machine / Native Memory` category: + +### `profiler.Malloc` (`T_MALLOC`) + +| Field | Type | Description | +|-------|------|-------------| +| `startTime` | `long` (ticks) | TSC timestamp of the allocation | +| `eventThread` | thread ref | Thread that performed the allocation | +| `stackTrace` | stack trace ref | Call stack at the allocation site | +| `address` | `long` (address) | Returned pointer value | +| `size` | `long` (bytes) | Requested allocation size | + +### `profiler.Free` (`T_FREE`) + +| Field | Type | Description | +|-------|------|-------------| +| `startTime` | `long` (ticks) | TSC timestamp of the free | +| `eventThread` | thread ref | Thread that performed the free | +| `stackTrace` | stack trace ref | Always null (0) — see Limitations | +| `address` | `long` (address) | Pointer being freed | + +Both event types are written by `Recording::recordMallocSample()` in +`flightRecorder.cpp`, which selects the type by inspecting `event->_size`: + +```cpp +buf->putVar64(event->_size != 0 ?

Reentrant allocation calls would result in double-accounting. + +When `recordMalloc` calls into the profiler (stack walking, JFR buffer writes), any +allocations made by the profiler itself will re-enter the hooks. Because those +internal allocations call `_orig_malloc` directly (not the hook), there is no +infinite recursion, but they may be double-counted as application allocations. +Leak detection is unaffected: the same address being recorded multiple times is +handled correctly by the tracking logic. + +**Hooks are never uninstalled.** `stop()` only sets `_running = false`. The GOT +entries remain patched for the lifetime of the process. After stopping, every +malloc/free incurs the overhead of one function-pointer indirection plus a volatile +bool read, which is negligible in practice. Uninstalling hooks safely would require +iterating all libraries again under `_patch_lock`, which is deferred. + +**`nativemem=0` records every allocation.** When `_interval == 0`, +`updateCounter` returns `true` on every call (the `interval <= 1` fast path). This +is intentional for 100% sampling but can produce very high event volumes. + +**No stack traces on free events.** `call_trace_id` is always 0 for `profiler.Free` +events. The `stackTrace` field is present in the JFR metadata but will always resolve +to a null reference. + +**HotSpot / Linux only for full stack traces.** `CSTACK_VM` requires +`VMStructs::hasStackStructs()`, which is only true on HotSpot JVMs on Linux. On other +platforms the profiler falls back to `CSTACK_DEFAULT` and malloc events will have +empty stack traces.
