JVM SIGSEGV in vframe::java_sender via allocation-profiler JVMTI GetStackTrace on a virtual thread (JDK 25, Alpine/musl) — regression in 1.62.0 (1.60.1 OK)

Bắt đầu với hs_err_pid1.log đính kèm và truy vết đường đi của allocation profiler qua Profiler::recordJVMTISample, ObjectSampler::recordAllocation và JVMTI GetStackTrace trên các virtual thread. So sánh hành vi giữa các phiên bản tracer 1.60.1 và 1.62.0 trên JDK 25 với Alpine/musl; hoàn tất khi allocation profiling không còn tạo ra SIGSEGV đã được báo cáo.

hs_err_pid1.redacted.log

Tracer Version(s)

1.62.0 (crashes). Reverting to 1.60.1 resolves it — so this is a regression introduced between 1.60.1 and 1.62.0.

Java Version(s)

OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-25.0.1+8 (build 25.0.1+8-LTS), linux-amd64

JVM Vendor

Eclipse Adoptium / Temurin

OS / Environment

Alpine Linux v3.22 (musl libc), QEMU 4 cores / 11G, container -Xmx6g, G1 GC. Spring Boot 4.0.6 app, virtual threads in use. Continuous profiler enabled (native ddprof, allocation profiling on).

Bug Report

After upgrading the agent to 1.62.0, the JVM hard-crashes (SIGSEGV, is_crash) intermittently — ~10 min after startup under normal traffic. The crash is in the Datadog allocation profiler: on a sampled allocation it calls JVMTI GetStackTrace, and walking a virtual thread's frames segfaults inside vframe::java_sender().

This appears to be a sibling of #9830 but on a different stackwalk path: #9830 was the async/ASGCT path (vframeStreamForte::forte_next), mitigated by -Ddd.profiling.ddprof.cstack=vm (default since 1.55.0). This one is the JVMTI GetStackTrace path used by the allocation sampler on virtual threads, which cstack=vm does not appear to cover (we are on 1.62.0, well past that default, and still crashing).

si_code: 128 (SI_KERNEL), si_addr: 0x0; the faulting thread is a virtual-thread carrier (ForkJoinPool-1-worker), _thread_in_vm. The ArrayList.grow / QueryExecutorImpl.processResults Java frames are just the innocent allocation being sampled (no large allocation — verified, the underlying collection is small).

Workaround: downgrade to 1.60.1 (clean). We expect DD_PROFILING_ALLOCATION_ENABLED=false (or DD_PROFILING_DDPROF_ENABLED=false, given musl) would also avoid it.

I can attach the full hs_err_pid1.log (and the .jfr) if useful.
