Make the root map an object
--------------------------- Key: RVM-522 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/RVM-522 Project: RVM Issue Type: Wish Components: Infrastructure: Build, MMTk Reporter: Ian Rogers Fix For: 1000 Currently the root map is paged into memory and accessed using addresses [1]. There doesn't seem to be a good reason why the root map couldn't be represented using a byte array and held in the data image, which imo would be more in the spirit of a Java-in-Java VM. It would require allocating and creating the root map at the end of writing the boot image in memory and then having an extra copy of the root map into the boot image once it was computed. We already do a similar job for the boot record. It needs to be at the end of the image as we don't know its length.

It was separated as a conscious design decision. I'm not going to die in a ditch over this, but it seemed to me that it is a special case, just as the code arrays are. 1. The root map is metadata; it describes the boot image. 2. Nor do we ever access it as a Java object because we can't afford the array bounds check. 3. Finally it is very large, with its size proportional to the boot image. None of these things make it *difficult* to implement within the boot image, but they may explain why I wanted to keep it separate. If this is a high priority for someone and they wish to reimplemented within the boot image, and do so without incurring performance overheads (due to array bounds checks, for example), that's OK with me. It's not the top of my priority list though, and it it is certainly not the way it is through laziness or lack of TLC; it was done that way deliberately. > Make the root map an object > --------------------------- > > Key: RVM-522 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/RVM-522 > Project: RVM > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Infrastructure: Build, MMTk > Reporter: Ian Rogers > Fix For: 1000 > > > Currently the root map is paged into memory and accessed using addresses [1].

Everything in the code image is an object, they have headers, lengths, we can manipulate them and pass around their object references. The data image is similar except you need two sets of glasses to look at the JTOC. For native code we can inspect it using a library like bfd (this would be nice for more verbose native stack traces). The root map on the other hand is only intelligible to the scan boot image code. If we wanted to inquire about the root map over say a JDWP debug connection, this wouldn't be possible. Currently the root map is only accessible through raw address accesses to memory, the main other place we have to handle data like this is JNI, but that was out of our hands. > Make the root map an object > --------------------------- > > Key: RVM-522 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/RVM-522 > Project: RVM > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Infrastructure: Build, MMTk > Reporter: Ian Rogers > Fix For: 1000 > > > Currently the root map is paged into memory and accessed using addresses [1].
