High CPU Utilization

On Linux

A native process takes high cpu utilization.

1. decide which thread takes the high cpu. -  ps -o thcount -p pid/ ps -mLF -p pid  -> get the cpu time and pid for that thread

2. find out what's that thread doing - get the thread stack.

 gdb - pid

input ->　all thread apply bt

the bt command will ouput the stack, which would tell you what's the thread doing

misc:

(gdb) info thread

(gdb) info proc

 (gdb) info proc all

ll /proc/32193/task/ -> get the thread ids for process 32193

 cat /proc/32193/maps ->get  process memory map

A java process takes high cpu utilization

1. decide which native thread is taking high cpu, by launching 'top -H -p pid' / or using 'ps -mLF -p pid'

2. convert the native thread to hex

3. Dump the java vm to produce the javacore.txt

4. Associate by the native thread, and look at what that thread is doing

on Windows

A native process takes high cpu utilization

1. Use 'Perfmon' tool to add counters of threads for this process(thread id, processor time)

2. Export the logs to .csv format

3. Analyze the generated logs. Find out which thread is taking high cpu & what's its according Thread ID(virtual ID and system overal thread id)

4. Use tool - Debug Diagnostic tool to catch a dump file.

5. Use Debug Diagnostic tool to analyze all threads' tasks they were doing. The output html file will give each stack and the according thread id

e.g.

Thread 13 - System ID 7916

Entry point	mozcrt19!endthreadex+a0
Create time	11-12-23 22:35:09
Time spent in user mode	0 Days 00:00:00.00
Time spent in kernel mode	0 Days 00:00:00.00

This thread is not fully resolved and may or may not be a problem. Further analysis of these threads may be required.

Function	Source
ntdll!KiFastSystemCallRet
ntdll!NtWaitForSingleObject+c
kernel32!WaitForSingleObjectEx+a8
kernel32!WaitForSingleObject+12
nspr4!PR_Wait+ed
xul!mozilla::layers::ThebesLayer::GetType+23ff
xul!gfxPattern::gfxPattern+1d96
nspr4!PR_WaitCondVar+1cd
mozcrt19!endthreadex+106

Java process takes high cpu

The same methodology applies to Java process 

1. Use perfmon tool to find out which thread is taking high cpu and find out its native thread ID

2. Get a javacore.txt file to associate with the native thread ID. See the stack to detect what is it doing - root of the high cpu

Memory leak / Handle leak

on Windows(mem leak and handle leak)

1. Use Debug Diagnostic Tool to monitor the leaking process for a period

2. Use debug diagnostic tool to open and analyze the user.dmp. The output html file will give the summary about the memory / handle leaks. As well, it will tell you which module and even which function did that.

On Linux (only memory leak

, as well as illegal memory operation, error releasing mem, uninitialized memory usage -- focus on Heap, but not stack  )

1. Use valgrind tool to start the debugged process, with correct parameters.

e.g.  valgrind --trace-children=yes --tool=memcheck --log-file=/tmp/val.log --leak-check=full ./processCmd

2. Would print the exact code line if we compile the source code with -g

3. Focus on malloc/free, new/delete, new []/delete[]; focus on Heap memory.

misc : valgrind is included in some linux distro .. such as RHEL.
