用实例讲讲什么是Java agent
引言
在本篇文章中，我会通过几个简单的程序来说明agent的使用，最后在实战替换我会通过asm字节码框架来实现一个小工具，用于在程序运行中采集指定方法的参数和返回值。有关asm字节码的内容不是本文的重点，不会过多的分解，不明白的同学可以自己的Google下。
简介
Java代理提供了一种在加载字节码时，对字节码进行修改的方式。他共有两种方式执行，一种是在main方法执行之前，通过premain来实现，另一种是在程序运行中，通过attach api来实现。
在介绍agent之前，先给大家简单说下一个Instrumentation。它是JDK1.5提供的API，用于拦截类加载事件，通过字节码进行修改，它的主要方法如下：
public interface Instrumentation {
//注册一个转换器，类加载事件会被注册的转换器所拦截
void addTransformer(ClassFileTransformer transformer, boolean canRetransform);
//重新触发类加载
void retransformClasses(Class<?>... classes) throws UnmodifiableClassException;
//直接替换类的定义
void redefineClasses(ClassDefinition... definitions) throws ClassNotFoundException, UnmodifiableClassException;
}主要
premain是在main方法之前运行的方法，也是最常见的agent方式。运行时需要将agent程序打包成jar包，并在启动时添加命令来执行，如下文所示：
java -javaagent:agent.jar=xunche HelloWorld
premain共提供以下2种重载方法，Jvm启动时会先尝试使用第一种方法，若没有会使用第二种方法：
public static void premain(String agentArgs, Instrumentation inst);
public static void premain(String agentArgs);一个简单的例子
下面我们通过一个程序来简单说明下premain的使用，首先我们准备下测试代码，测试代码比较简单，运行main方法并输出hello world。
package org.xunche.app;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}接下来我们看下agent的代码，运行premain方法并输出我们预期的参数。
package org.xunche.agent;
public class HelloAgent {
public static void premain(String args) {
System.out.println("Hello Agent: " + args);
}
}为了能够使agent能够运行，我们需要将META-INF / MANIFEST.MF文件中的Premain- Class为我们编写的agent路径，然后通过以下方式将其打包成jar包，当然你也可以使用idea直接替换jar包。
echo 'Premain-Class: org.xunche.agent.HelloAgent' > manifest.mf
javac org/xunche/agent/HelloAgent.java
javac org/xunche/app/HelloWorld.java
jar cvmf manifest.mf hello-agent.jar org/接下来，我们编译下并运行下测试代码，这里为了测试简单，我将编译后的类和agent的jar包放在同级目录下
java -javaagent:hello-agent.jar=xunche org/xunche/app/HelloWorld可以看到输出结果如下，agent中的premain方法有延续main方法执行
Hello Agent: xunche
Hello World稍微复杂点的例子
通过上面的例子，是否对agent有个简单的了解呢？
下面我们来看一个稍微复杂点，我们通过agent来实现一个方法监控的功能。思路大致是这样的，若是非jdk的方法，我们通过asm在方法的执行入口和执行出口处，植入几行记录最佳的代码，当方法结束后，通过合并来获取方法的耗时。
首先还是看下测试代码，逻辑很简单，main方法执行时调用say Hi方法，输出hi，xunche，并随机睡眠中断。
package org.xunche.app;
public class HelloXunChe {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
HelloXunChe helloXunChe = new HelloXunChe();
helloXunChe.sayHi();
}
public void sayHi() throws InterruptedException {
System.out.println("hi, xunche");
sleep();
}
public void sleep() throws InterruptedException {
Thread.sleep((long) (Math.random() * 200));
}
}接下来我们替换asm来植入我们自己的代码，在jvm加载类的时候，为类的每个方法加上统计方法调用耗时的代码，代码如下，这里的asm我使用了jdk自带的，当然你也可以使用官方的asm类库。
package org.xunche.agent;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.*;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.commons.AdviceAdapter;
import java.lang.instrument.ClassFileTransformer;
import java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation;

public class TimeAgent {
public static void premain(String args, Instrumentation instrumentation) {
instrumentation.addTransformer(new TimeClassFileTransformer());
}
private static class TimeClassFileTransformer implements ClassFileTransformer {
@Override
public byte[] transform(ClassLoader loader, String className, Class<?> classBeingRedefined, ProtectionDomain protectionDomain, byte[] classfileBuffer) {
if (className.startsWith("java") || className.startsWith("jdk") || className.startsWith("javax") || className.startsWith("sun") || className.startsWith("com/sun")|| className.startsWith("org/xunche/agent")) {
//return null或者执行异常会执行原来的字节码
return null;
}
System.out.println("loaded class: " + className);
ClassReader reader = new ClassReader(classfileBuffer);
ClassWriter writer = new ClassWriter(reader, ClassWriter.COMPUTE_FRAMES | ClassWriter.COMPUTE_MAXS);
reader.accept(new TimeClassVisitor(writer), ClassReader.EXPAND_FRAMES);
return writer.toByteArray();
}
}
public static class TimeClassVisitor extends ClassVisitor {
public TimeClassVisitor(ClassVisitor classVisitor) {
super(Opcodes.ASM5, classVisitor);
}
@Override
public MethodVisitor visitMethod(int methodAccess, String methodName, String methodDesc, String signature, String[] exceptions) {
MethodVisitor methodVisitor = cv.visitMethod(methodAccess, methodName, methodDesc, signature, exceptions);
return new TimeAdviceAdapter(Opcodes.ASM5, methodVisitor, methodAccess, methodName, methodDesc);
}
}
public static class TimeAdviceAdapter extends AdviceAdapter {
private String methodName;
protected TimeAdviceAdapter(int api, MethodVisitor methodVisitor, int methodAccess, String methodName, String methodDesc) {
super(api, methodVisitor, methodAccess, methodName, methodDesc);
this.methodName = methodName;
}
@Override
protected void onMethodEnter() {
//在方法入口处植入
if ("<init>".equals(methodName)|| "<clinit>".equals(methodName)) {
return;
}
mv.visitTypeInsn(NEW, "java/lang/StringBuilder");
mv.visitInsn(DUP);

}
@Override
protected void onMethodExit(int i) {
//在方法出口植入
if ("<init>".equals(methodName) || "<clinit>".equals(methodName)) {
return;
}
mv.visitTypeInsn(NEW, "java/lang/StringBuilder");

mv.visitMethodInsn(INVOKEVIRTUAL, "java/io/PrintStream", "println", "(Ljava/lang/String;)V", false);
}
}
}的上述代码略长，ASM的部分可以略过。我们通过instrumentation.addTransformer注册一个转换器，转换器重写了变换方法，方法入参中的classfileBuffer表示的是原始的字节码，方法返回值表示的是真正要进行加载的字节码。
onMethodEnter方法中的代码含义是调用TimeHolder的start方法并初始化当前的方法名。
onMethodExit方法中的代码含义是调用TimeHolder的成本方法并合并当前的方法名，并打印成本方法的返回值。
下面来看下TimeHolder的代码：
package org.xunche.agent;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class TimeHolder {
private static Map<String, Long> timeCache = new HashMap<>();
public static void start(String method) {
timeCache.put(method, System.currentTimeMillis());
}
public static long cost(String method) {
return System.currentTimeMillis() - timeCache.get(method);
}
}至此之后，agent的代码编写完成，有关asm的部分不是本章的重点，日后再单独推出发表有关asm的文章。后的代码是怎样的。可以看到，与最开始的测试代码排序，每个方法都加入了我们统计方法耗时的代码。
package org.xunche.app;
import org.xunche.agent.TimeHolder;
public class HelloXunChe {
public HelloXunChe() {
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
TimeHolder.start(args.getClass().getName() + "." + "main");
HelloXunChe helloXunChe = new HelloXunChe();
helloXunChe.sayHi();
HelloXunChe helloXunChe = args.getClass().getName() + "." + "main";
System.out.println(helloXunChe + ": " + TimeHolder.cost(helloXunChe));
}
public void sayHi() throws InterruptedException {
TimeHolder.start(this.getClass().getName() + "." + "sayHi");
System.out.println("hi, xunche");
this.sleep();
String var1 = this.getClass().getName() + "." + "sayHi";
System.out.println(var1 + ": " + TimeHolder.cost(var1));
}
public void sleep() throws InterruptedException {
TimeHolder.start(this.getClass().getName() + "." + "sleep");
Thread.sleep((long)(Math.random() * 200.0D));
String var1 = this.getClass().getName() + "." + "sleep";
System.out.println(var1 + ": " + TimeHolder.cost(var1));
}
}代理基础
上面的premain是通过agetn在应用启动前，对字节码进行修改，来实现我们想要的功能。实际上jdk提供了attach api，通过这个api，我们可以访问已经启动的Java进程。并通过agentmain方法来拦截类加载。下面我们来通过实战来具体说明下agentmain。
实战
本次实战的目标是实现一个小工具，其目标是能远程采集已经在运行中的Java进程的方法调用信息。听起来像不像BTrace，实际上 BTrace也是 这么实现的。只不过因为时间关系，本次的实战代码写的比较简陋，大家不必关注细节，看下实现的思路就好。
具体的实现思路如下：
agent对指定类的方法进行字节码的修改，采集方法的入参和返回值。并通过socket将请求和返回发送到服务端
服务端通过attach api访问运行中的Java进程，并加载agent，使agent程序能对目标进程实施
服务端加载agent时指定需要采集的类和方法
服务端开启一个端口，接受目标进程的请求信息
老规矩，先看测试代码，测试代码很简单，每隔100ms运行一次sayHi方法，并随机随身睡觉。
package org.xunche.app;
public class HelloTraceAgent {
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
HelloTraceAgent helloTraceAgent = new HelloTraceAgent();
while (true) {
helloTraceAgent.sayHi("xunche");
Thread.sleep(100);
}
}
public String sayHi(String name) throws InterruptedException {
sleep();
String hi = "hi, " + name + ", " + System.currentTimeMillis();
return hi;
}
public void sleep() throws InterruptedException {
Thread.sleep((long) (Math.random() * 200));
}
}接下看agent代码，思路同等监控方法耗时差不多，在方法出口处，通过asm植入采集方法入参和返回值的代码，并通过发件人将信息通过socket发送到服务端，代码如下：
package org.xunche.agent;
import jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.*;

import java.security.ProtectionDomain;
public class TraceAgent {
public static void agentmain(String args, Instrumentation instrumentation) throws ClassNotFoundException, UnmodifiableClassException {
if (args == null) {
return;
}
int index = args.lastIndexOf(".");
if (index != -1) {
String className = args.substring(0, index);
String methodName = args.substring(index + 1);
//目标代码已经加载，需要重新触发加载流程，才会通过注册的转换器进行转换
instrumentation.addTransformer(new TraceClassFileTransformer(className.replace(".", "/"), methodName), true);
instrumentation.retransformClasses(Class.forName(className));
}
}
public static class TraceClassFileTransformer implements ClassFileTransformer {
private String traceClassName;

public TraceClassFileTransformer(String traceClassName, String traceMethodName) {
this.traceClassName = traceClassName;
this.traceMethodName = traceMethodName;
}
@Override
public byte[] transform(ClassLoader loader, String className, Class<?> classBeingRedefined, ProtectionDomain protectionDomain, byte[] classfileBuffer) {
//过滤掉Jdk、agent、非指定类的方法
if (className.startsWith("java") || className.startsWith("jdk") || className.startsWith("javax") || className.startsWith("sun")
|| className.startsWith("com/sun") || className.startsWith("org/xunche/agent") || !className.equals(traceClassName)) {
//return null会执行原来的字节码
return null;
}
ClassReader reader = new ClassReader(classfileBuffer);
ClassWriter writer = new ClassWriter(reader, ClassWriter.COMPUTE_FRAMES | ClassWriter.COMPUTE_MAXS);
reader.accept(new TraceVisitor(className, traceMethodName, writer), ClassReader.EXPAND_FRAMES);
return writer.toByteArray();
}

MethodVisitor methodVisitor = cv.visitMethod(methodAccess, methodName, methodDesc, signature, exceptions);
if (traceMethodName.equals(methodName)) {
return new TraceAdviceAdapter(className, methodVisitor, methodAccess, methodName, methodDesc);
}
return methodVisitor;
}
}

}

public void visitLocalVariable(String name, String description, String signature, Label start, Label end, int index) {
for (int i = 0; i < this.lvtSlotIndex.length; ++i) {

this.parameterNames[i] = name;
}
}
}

return aType == Type.LONG_TYPE || aType == Type.DOUBLE_TYPE;
}

return (access & 8) > 0;
}
}
