/*
 * Classes to support access to production performance data
 *
 * The PerfData class structure is provided for creation, access, and update
 * of performance data (a.k.a. instrumentation) in a specific memory region
 * which is possibly accessible as shared memory. Although not explicitly
 * prevented from doing so, developers should not use the values returned
 * by accessor methods to make algorithmic decisions as they are potentially
 * extracted from a shared memory region. Although any shared memory region
 * created is with appropriate access restrictions, allowing read-write access
 * only to the principal that created the JVM, it is believed that a the
 * shared memory region facilitates an easier attack path than attacks
 * launched through mechanisms such as /proc. For this reason, it is
 * recommended that data returned by PerfData accessor methods be used
 * cautiously.
 *
 * There are three variability classifications of performance data
 *   Constants  -  value is written to the PerfData memory once, on creation
 *   Variables  -  value is modifiable, with no particular restrictions
 *   Counters   -  value is monotonically changing (increasing or decreasing)
 *
 * The performance data items can also have various types. The class
 * hierarchy and the structure of the memory region are designed to
 * accommodate new types as they are needed. Types are specified in
 * terms of Java basic types, which accommodates client applications
 * written in the Java programming language. The class hierarchy is:
 *
 * - PerfData (Abstract)
 *     - PerfLong (Abstract)
 *         - PerfLongConstant        (alias: PerfConstant)
 *         - PerfLongVariant (Abstract)
 *             - PerfLongVariable    (alias: PerfVariable)
 *             - PerfLongCounter     (alias: PerfCounter)
 *
 *     - PerfByteArray (Abstract)
 *         - PerfString (Abstract)
 *             - PerfStringVariable
 *             - PerfStringConstant
 *
 *
 * As seen in the class hierarchy, the initially supported types are:
 *
 *    Long      - performance data holds a Java long type
 *    ByteArray - performance data holds an array of Java bytes
 *                used for holding C++ char arrays.
 *
 * The String type is derived from the ByteArray type.
 *
 * A PerfData subtype is not required to provide an implementation for
 * each variability classification. For example, the String type provides
 * Variable and Constant variablility classifications in the PerfStringVariable
 * and PerfStringConstant classes, but does not provide a counter type.
 *
 * Performance data are also described by a unit of measure. Units allow
 * client applications to make reasonable decisions on how to treat
 * performance data generically, preventing the need to hard-code the
 * specifics of a particular data item in client applications. The current
 * set of units are:
 *
 *   None        - the data has no units of measure
 *   Bytes       - data is measured in bytes
 *   Ticks       - data is measured in clock ticks
 *   Events      - data is measured in events. For example,
 *                 the number of garbage collection events or the
 *                 number of methods compiled.
 *   String      - data is not numerical. For example,
 *                 the java command line options
 *   Hertz       - data is a frequency
 *
 * The performance counters also provide a support attribute, indicating
 * the stability of the counter as a programmatic interface. The support
 * level is also implied by the name space in which the counter is created.
 * The counter name space support conventions follow the Java package, class,
 * and property support conventions:
 *
 *    java.*          - stable, supported interface
 *    com.sun.*       - unstable, supported interface
 *    sun.*           - unstable, unsupported interface
 *
 * In the above context, unstable is a measure of the interface support
 * level, not the implementation stability level.
 *
 * Currently, instances of PerfData subtypes are considered to have
 * a life time equal to that of the VM and are managed by the
 * PerfDataManager class. All constructors for the PerfData class and
 * its subtypes have protected constructors. Creation of PerfData
 * instances is performed by invoking various create methods on the
 * PerfDataManager class. Users should not attempt to delete these
 * instances as the PerfDataManager class expects to perform deletion
 * operations on exit of the VM.
 *
 * Examples:
 *
 * Creating performance counter that holds a monotonically increasing
 * long data value with units specified in U_Bytes in the "java.gc.*"
 * name space.
 *
 *   PerfLongCounter* foo_counter;
 *
 *   foo_counter = PerfDataManager::create_long_counter(JAVA_GC, "foo",
 *                                                       PerfData::U_Bytes,
 *                                                       optionalInitialValue,
 *                                                       CHECK);
 *   foo_counter->inc();
 *
 * Creating a performance counter that holds a variably change long
 * data value with untis specified in U_Bytes in the "com.sun.ci
 * name space.
 *
 *   PerfLongVariable* bar_varible;
 *   bar_variable = PerfDataManager::create_long_variable(COM_CI, "bar",
.*                                                        PerfData::U_Bytes,
 *                                                        optionalInitialValue,
 *                                                        CHECK);
 *
 *   bar_variable->inc();
 *   bar_variable->set_value(0);
 *
 * Creating a performance counter that holds a constant string value in
 * the "sun.cls.*" name space.
 *
 *   PerfDataManager::create_string_constant(SUN_CLS, "foo", string, CHECK);
 *
 *   Although the create_string_constant() factory method returns a pointer
 *   to the PerfStringConstant object, it can safely be ignored. Developers
 *   are not encouraged to access the string constant's value via this
 *   pointer at this time due to security concerns.
 *
 * Creating a performance counter in an arbitrary name space that holds a
 * value that is sampled by the StatSampler periodic task.
 *
 *    PerfDataManager::create_counter("foo.sampled", PerfData::U_Events,
 *                                    &my_jlong, CHECK);
 *
 *    In this example, the PerfData pointer can be ignored as the caller
 *    is relying on the StatSampler PeriodicTask to sample the given
 *    address at a regular interval. The interval is defined by the
 *    PerfDataSamplingInterval global variable, and is applyied on
 *    a system wide basis, not on an per-counter basis.
 *
 * Creating a performance counter in an arbitrary name space that utilizes
 * a helper object to return a value to the StatSampler via the take_sample()
 * method.
 *
 *     class MyTimeSampler : public PerfLongSampleHelper {
 *       public:
 *         jlong take_sample() { return os::elapsed_counter(); }
 *     };
 *
 *     PerfDataManager::create_counter(SUN_RT, "helped",
 *                                     PerfData::U_Ticks,
 *                                     new MyTimeSampler(), CHECK);
 *
 *     In this example, a subtype of PerfLongSampleHelper is instantiated
 *     and its take_sample() method is overridden to perform whatever
 *     operation is necessary to generate the data sample. This method
 *     will be called by the StatSampler at a regular interval, defined
 *     by the PerfDataSamplingInterval global variable.
 *
 *     As before, PerfSampleHelper is an alias for PerfLongSampleHelper.
 *
 * For additional uses of PerfData subtypes, see the utility classes
 * PerfTraceTime and PerfTraceTimedEvent below.
 *
 * Always-on non-sampled counters can be created independent of
 * the UsePerfData flag. Counters will be created on the c-heap
 * if UsePerfData is false.
 *
 * Until further noice, all PerfData objects should be created and
 * manipulated within a guarded block. The guard variable is
 * UsePerfData, a product flag set to true by default. This flag may
 * be removed from the product in the future.
