Happy hacking!

We are pleased to announce the release of IcedTea 2.3.1 [*], based on OpenJDK7 u6.

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK using Free Software build tools, along with additional features such as a PulseAudio sound driver and support for alternative virtual machines.

This 2.3.1 release includes a fix for the zero-day issue that arose this week:

Security releases for the previous release branches, 2.1 & 2.2, will follow shortly.

We believe that the 2.3.1 release takes IcedTea to the level of Oracle’s proprietary 7u6 binaries, being based on the latest contents of the OpenJDK u6 Mercurial repositories.

In addition, IcedTea includes the usual IcedTea patches to allow builds against system libraries and to support more estoric architectures.

As detailed in a previous blog, Zero is again supported again in this release, by the use of the older HotSpot from IcedTea 2.1 when building with --enable-zero.

Patches are welcome; please contact the mailing list (distro-pkg-dev at openjdk.java.net) and/or file bugs under the appropriate component.

[*] Note that IcedTea 2.3.0 ended up as a forest-based release only, as the need for a security update become apparent before a matching IcedTea release could be made.

Full details of the release can be found below.

Happy hacking!

As some people may have noticed in the release notes of the last IcedTea release (2.2), Zero has become broken. This is because Zero does not yet support some of the changes made in HotSpot 23 and later. Chris Phillips and Andrew Haley at Red Hat, now joined by Roman Kennke as well, are hard at work on fixing this as quickly as possible. In the interim, we’re providing a temporary solution which will at least get Zero working again, if not with all the new features of HotSpot 23 & 24.

In this changeset, I updated IcedTea to download the HotSpot from the 2.1 branch instead, when Zero is enabled. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work out of the box. Although HotSpot is designed to be backwards compatible with older JDKs, the reverse is not true, so a number of backports were necessary to get it working. Namely:

While the first three were fairly obvious (the build fails because it can’t link against JVM_SetNativeThreadName), the String issue resulted in quite a bit of debugging as the JDK would build, but crash immediately on initialisation, which turned out to be when it was creating String instances for properties using the platform character set.

You can try out Zero now by checking out IcedTea7 HEAD and building using the --enable-zero option. You should end up with something like:

java version "1.7.0_06"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3pre+r7d3000c44b3b+)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Zero VM (build 22.0-b10, interpreted mode)

It was able to build itself and passed most HotSpot jtreg tests (available by make check-hotspot). The ones that didn’t pass timed out, presumably due to Zero’s slow speed. So Zero will work again in 2.3, using this support, and hopefully in the future, we’ll be able to have Zero on more recent HotSpot versions.

Footnote: I’ve just found out, via a blog linkback, that Slackware package IcedTea. Always good to know where our work ends up!

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK using Free Software build tools, along with additional features such as a PulseAudio sound driver and support for alternative virtual machines.

The IcedTea 2.1.1 & 2.2.1 release updates our OpenJDK7 support to include the latest security updates just released:

We believe that the 2.2.1 release takes IcedTea to the level of 7u5, including both the changes in the public OpenJDK7 repository for u4 and the security updates, which is what we believe u5 is comprised of[*].

In addition, IcedTea includes the usual IcedTea patches to allow builds against system libraries and to support more estoric architectures.

Please note that support for alternative VM solutions (CACAO, Shark, Zero) may be lacking in this release. Specifically, Zero/Shark are known not to work with the 2.2 release series. Patches are welcome; please contact the mailing list (distro-pkg-dev at openjdk.java.net) and/or file bugs (http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla) under the appropriate component.

[*] It is difficult to make authoritative statements about u5 as the release is proprietary. Oracle still do not provide GPL binaries based on OpenJDK.

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK6 using Free Software build tools, along with additional features such as a PulseAudio sound driver and support for alternative virtual machines.

A new set of security releases is now available:

  • IcedTea6 1.10.8
  • IcedTea6 1.11.3

All updates contain the following security fixes:

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK using Free Software build tools, along with additional features such as a PulseAudio sound driver and support for alternative virtual machines.

The IcedTea 2.2 release updates our OpenJDK7 support to include the latest updates in u4 (http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u4/).

We believe that this 2.2 release takes IcedTea beyond u4. In addition to the changes in the public OpenJDK7 repository for u4, we also include a number of additional
fixes:

  • Don’t create debuginfo files if not stripping.
  • Generalise ucrypto cryptography tests.
  • Skip wrap mode tests if wrap mode is not available.
  • Zero fails to build in hsx22+, fix for hsx22 after runs gamma OK, hsx23 still nogo.
  • Support systems with outdated versions of gio 2.0.
  • Turn off strict aliasing for ExtensionSubtables.cpp (now S7171223 in OpenJDK8)

In addition, IcedTea includes the usual IcedTea patches to allow builds against system libraries and to support more estoric architectures.

Please note support for alternative VM solutions (CACAO, Shark, Zero) may be lacking in this release. Specifically, Zero/Shark are known not to work with
HotSpot 23, the version included in this release. Patches are welcome; please contact the mailing list (distro-pkg-dev@openjdk.java.net) and/or file bugs (http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla) under the appropriate component.

Full details of the release can be found below.

Happy hacking!

The IcedTea project provides a harness to build the source code from OpenJDK6 using Free Software build tools, along with additional features such as a PulseAudio sound driver and support for alternative virtual machines.

A new set of releases is now available for IcedTea6, which uses OpenJDK6 as its base:

  • IcedTea6 1.10.7 (based on OpenJDK6 b22)
  • IcedTea6 1.11.2 (based on OpenJDK6 b24)

Full details of each release can be found below.

PLEASE NOTE: With this release, the 1.9 series is now NO LONGER SUPPORTED, in a general push to reduce the release support burden to two releases per JDK release (6, 7, 8). We strongly recommend that you upgrade to a new release series; either of the two above for OpenJDK6. Alternatively, make the jump to OpenJDK7 with 2.0.1, 2.1.0 or 2.2.0 (to be released shortly).

The following results are for IcedTea 6 & 7 using the NSS provider but without the hardware AES support enabled. It turns out that testing this scenario doesn’t require changing the NSS code; you merely need to set the environment variable NSS_DISABLE_HW_AES=1.

There is still a noticeable improvement using the NSS provider, but not as significant as when AES is handled in hardware. This does, however, mean that enabling NSS as the primary provider should show a benefit on all installs, not just ones with hardware AES.

I also found today that Oracle have enabled this provider with a priority of 2 on Solaris builds from jdk7u4 on; see bug 7088989 and this commit. Priority 1 is given to a proprietary provider, com.oracle.security.ucrypto.UcryptoProvider, the source of which is not included in OpenJDK.

These were run about the same time as the last set, but didn’t have time to write them up last week.

So 7 with NSS seems to be faster than 6 with NSS, especially with the larger block sizes. Not too surprising, given it has a newer version of HotSpot.

OpenJDK has long had provision for cryptography support via NSS using the provider sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11, but I get the impression it isn’t widely used or even known about. It requires some configuration to setup, as the OpenJDK build doesn’t look for NSS and the provider thus has to be manually configured with the location of the library. In September 2009, I added support to IcedTea to automate a lot of this, so you can now pass –enable-nss to the build and it will detect NSS and set it up in ${java.home}/jre/lib/security/java.security. I know Matthias Klose (doko) has used this, as he did further work on it within IcedTea, and I believe it may be enabled in Debian and/or Ubuntu builds. It’s also available (via USE=”nss”) in Gentoo, and it all three distros, it can be used to make elliptic curve cryptography available; this was the original motivation for adding support as noted in PR356.

Over the last week or so, we at Red Hat have been looking at whether using this NSS provider as the primary provider (i.e. listing it as number one in the java.security file) provides a performance advantage, specifically as concerns AES and the fact that newer chips have AES instructions which are supported by assembly code in NSS. We wrote a little test case which runs a number of encryption and decryption cycles (we ran with 20,000) and measures the average number of nanoseconds take to encrypt or decrypt each byte, and the amount of MB/s overall. We ran this on both IcedTea6 & IcedTea7 builds with and without the NSS provider enabled at the top priority. The results are below. The ns/byte figures are rounded to two decimal places. Tests were run on a 2.7GHz Intel Xeon E5-2680 machine with hardware AES instructions and 4 processors with 8 cores each, giving 32 cores, each with 20MB L3 cache.

There’s clearly a significant improvement when using the NSS provider on a machine with AES instructions. We still need to run more tests to see what the improvement (if any) is when using NSS without AES instructions. As an aside, an early version of the test didn’t show as significant an increase, instead more like a 1.6x speedup. We believe this was down to several issues:

  1. The entire process was being measured, including setup of the cipher, not just the encryption.
  2. The use of System.currentTimeMillis() rather than nanoseconds
  3. The use of doFinal where it returns a new array, rather than reusing the old one, thus creating significant garbage.
