Motivation:
When attempting to flamegraph netty w/ epoll it was noticed the stacks are lost going from
java to epoll lib.
Modifications:
added the -fno-omit-framepointer flag to compiler flags to ensure the fp is kept intact
Result:
Flamegraphs will now show native code in the same stack as java code using perf-java-flames
Motivation:
The previously generated manifest causes a parse exception when loaded into an Apache Felix OSGI container.
Modifications:
Fix parameter delimiter and unbalanced quotes in manifest entry. Suffixed with asterisk so the bundle is resolved on other architectures as well even if native libs won't be loaded.
Result:
Bundle will load properly in OSGI containers.
Motivation:
The build generates a OSGi bundle with missing Bundle-NativeCode manifest entry.
Modifications:
Add missing manifest entry.
Result:
Be able to use transport-native-epoll in osgi container.
Motivation:
epoll_wait accepts a timeout argument which will specify the maximum amount of time the epoll_wait will wait for an event to occur. If the epoll_wait method returns for any reason that is not fatal (e.g. EINTR) the original timeout value is re-used. This does not honor the timeout interface contract and can lead to unbounded time in epoll_wait.
Modifications:
- The time taken by epoll_wait should be decremented before calling epoll_wait again, and if the remaining time is exhausted we should return 0 according to the epoll_wait interface docs http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/epoll_wait.2.html
- link librt which is needed for some platforms to use clock_gettime
Result:
epoll_wait will wait for at most timeout ms according to the epoll_wait interface contract.
Motivation:
Currenlty, netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is not packed as OSGi bundle
and thus not working in OSGi environment.
Modifications:
In netty-transport-native-epoll's pom.xml added configuration
to attach manifest to the jar with a native library.
In netty-common's pom.xml added configuration instruction (DynamicImport-Package)
to maven bnd plugin to make sure the native code is loaded from
netty-transport-native-epoll bundle.
Result:
The netty-transport-native-epoll-*-linux-x86_64.jar is a bundle (MANIFEST.MF attached)
and the inluced native library can be successfuly loaded in OSGi environment.
Fixing #5119
Motivation:
Before release 4.1.0.Final we should update all our dependencies.
Modifications:
Update dependencies.
Result:
Up-to-date dependencies used.
Motivation:
As we now can easily build static linked versions of tcnative it makes sense to run our netty build against all of them.
This helps to ensure our code works with libressl, openssl and boringssl.
Modifications:
Allow to specify -Dtcnative.artifactId= and -Dtcnative.version=
Result:
Easy to run netty build against different tcnative flavors.
Motivation:
transport-native-epoll has its pom.xml encoding attribute set to ISO-8859-15. Because
of this gradle, and other dependency management systems, can't correctly resolve this
library from wherever it happens to be published.
Modifications:
netty/transport-native-epoll/pom.xml had its xml encoding changed to UTF-9
Result:
Gradle, and other dependency management systems, will now be able to correctly resolve this module.
Motivation:
We should fail the build on warnings in the JNI/c code.
Modifications:
- Add GCC flag to fail build on warnings.
- Fix warnings (which also fixed a bug when using splice with offsets).
Result:
Better code quality.
Motivation:
The latest netty-tcnative fixes a bug in determining the version of the runtime openssl lib. It also publishes an artificact with the classifier linux-<arch>-fedora for fedora-based systems.
Modifications:
Modified the build files to use the "-fedora" classifier when appropriate for tcnative. Care is taken, however, to not change the classifier for the native epoll transport.
Result:
Netty is updated the the new shiny netty-tcnative.
Motivation:
We not set any optimization flag when compile native transport
Modification:
Add -O3 to CFLAGS to have GCC do optimizations
Result:
Ship optimized native code
