背景:大家都在说Skywalking Agent实现的核心原理就是Java Agent+字节码操作。但是这两者是如何起作用的,一直比较模糊,所以通过这篇博客来记录一下解疑答惑的过程。

通过这篇博客应该可以解答如下几个问题:

  1. Skywalking具体使用什么来操作字节码;
  2. Skywalking的插件是怎么开发的;
  3. Skywalking是怎么让插件生效的;

ByteBuddy入门

ByteBuddy封装了一系列API来轻松创建一个agent,下面通过AgentBuilder来创建一个简单的agent:假设我们定义了一个注解ToString,我们匹配所有标注@ToString的类,修改toString方法,让其返回"transformed"。

public class ToStringAgent {
  public static void premain(String arguments, Instrumentation instrumentation) {
    new AgentBuilder.Default()
        .type(isAnnotatedWith(ToString.class))
        .transform(new AgentBuilder.Transformer() {
      @Override
      public DynamicType.Builder transform(DynamicType.Builder builder,
                                              TypeDescription typeDescription,
                                              ClassLoader classloader) {
        return builder.method(named("toString"))
                      .intercept(FixedValue.value("transformed"));
      }
    }).installOn(instrumentation);
  }
}
  • type 接受 一个ElementMatcher 匹配 ToString注解
  • transform 接受AgentBuilder.Transformer 来描述修改逻辑,每有一个类加载时,触发transformer逻辑,对类进行匹配和修改。
  • installOn ,将修改,应用到instrumentation中。

自定义Skywalking插件

1、引入依赖

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>

                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

2、编写插件定义

public class ToStringInstrumentation extends ClassInstanceMethodsEnhancePluginDefine {
    @Override
    protected ClassMatch enhanceClass() {
        // 指定想要监控的类
        return NameMatch.byName("java.lang.String");
    }

    @Override
    public ConstructorInterceptPoint[] getConstructorsInterceptPoints() {
        return new ConstructorInterceptPoint[0];
    }

    @Override
    public InstanceMethodsInterceptPoint[] getInstanceMethodsInterceptPoints() {
        // 指定想要监控的实例方法,每个实例方法对应一个InstanceMethodsInterceptPoint
        return new InstanceMethodsInterceptPoint[]{
            @Override
                public ElementMatcher<MethodDescription> getMethodsMatcher() {
                    // 实例方法名称
                    return ElementMatchers.named("toString");
                }

                @Override
                public String getMethodsInterceptor() {
                    // 该实例方法的监控拦截器类名全路径
                    return "com.itmuch.skywalking.plugin.tostring.ToStringInterceptor";
                }

                @Override
                public boolean isOverrideArgs() {
                    return false;
                }
        };
    }

    @Override
    public StaticMethodsInterceptPoint[] getStaticMethodsInterceptPoints() {
        // 指定想要监控的静态方法,每一个方法对应一个StaticMethodsInterceptPoint
        return new StaticMethodsInterceptPoint[0];
    }
}

3、编写拦截器

public class ToStringInterceptor implements InstanceMethodsAroundInterceptor {
    @Override
    public void beforeMethod(Class aClass, Method method, Object[] argumentsTypes, Class<?>[] classes, MethodInterceptResult methodInterceptResult) {
        System.out.print("在toString之前执行beforeMethod方法");
    }

    @Override
    public Object afterMethod(Class aClass, Method method, Object[] objects, Class<?>[] classes, Object o) {
        return o + "在toString之后执行afterMethod";
    }

    @Override
    public void handleMethodException(Class aClass, Method method, Object[] objects, Class<?>[] classes, Throwable throwable) {
        System.out.print(throwable.getMessage());
    }
}

上面的操作步骤完全仿照Skywalking源码中的插件的定义。

使用的哪种字节码操作框架

首先找到入口类premain-class
apm-sniffer/apm-agent/pom.xml:

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <!-- javaagent对应的premain方法 -->
        <premain.class>org.apache.skywalking.apm.agent.SkyWalkingAgent</premain.class>
        
        <can.redefine.classes>true</can.redefine.classes>
        <can.retransform.classes>true</can.retransform.classes>
        <shade.net.bytebuddy.source>net.bytebuddy</shade.net.bytebuddy.source>
        <shade.net.bytebuddy.target>${shade.package}.${shade.net.bytebuddy.source}</shade.net.bytebuddy.target>
    </properties>

找到了入口类SkyWalkingAgent,那来看看他的源码:

public static void premain(String agentArgs, Instrumentation instrumentation) throws PluginException {
        final PluginFinder pluginFinder;
        try {
            //1、初始化一些核心配置
            SnifferConfigInitializer.initializeCoreConfig(agentArgs);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // try to resolve a new logger, and use the new logger to write the error log here
            LogManager.getLogger(SkyWalkingAgent.class)
                    .error(e, "SkyWalking agent initialized failure. Shutting down.");
            return;
        } finally {
            // refresh logger again after initialization finishes
            LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(SkyWalkingAgent.class);
        }

        try {
            //2、加载插件
            pluginFinder = new PluginFinder(new PluginBootstrap().loadPlugins());
        } catch (AgentPackageNotFoundException ape) {
            LOGGER.error(ape, "Locate agent.jar failure. Shutting down.");
            return;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error(e, "SkyWalking agent initialized failure. Shutting down.");
            return;
        }

        //3、初始化字节码操作框架ByteBuddy
        final ByteBuddy byteBuddy = new ByteBuddy().with(TypeValidation.of(Config.Agent.IS_OPEN_DEBUGGING_CLASS));

        AgentBuilder agentBuilder = new AgentBuilder.Default(byteBuddy).ignore(
                nameStartsWith("net.bytebuddy.")
                        .or(nameStartsWith("org.slf4j."))
                        .or(nameStartsWith("org.groovy."))
                        .or(nameContains("javassist"))
                        .or(nameContains(".asm."))
                        .or(nameContains(".reflectasm."))
                        .or(nameStartsWith("sun.reflect"))
                        .or(allSkyWalkingAgentExcludeToolkit())
                        .or(ElementMatchers.isSynthetic()));

        JDK9ModuleExporter.EdgeClasses edgeClasses = new JDK9ModuleExporter.EdgeClasses();
        try {
            agentBuilder = BootstrapInstrumentBoost.inject(pluginFinder, instrumentation, agentBuilder, edgeClasses);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error(e, "SkyWalking agent inject bootstrap instrumentation failure. Shutting down.");
            return;
        }

        try {
            agentBuilder = JDK9ModuleExporter.openReadEdge(instrumentation, agentBuilder, edgeClasses);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error(e, "SkyWalking agent open read edge in JDK 9+ failure. Shutting down.");
            return;
        }

        if (Config.Agent.IS_CACHE_ENHANCED_CLASS) {
            try {
                agentBuilder = agentBuilder.with(new CacheableTransformerDecorator(Config.Agent.CLASS_CACHE_MODE));
                LOGGER.info("SkyWalking agent class cache [{}] activated.", Config.Agent.CLASS_CACHE_MODE);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                LOGGER.error(e, "SkyWalking agent can't active class cache.");
            }
        }

        agentBuilder.type(pluginFinder.buildMatch())
                //4、重点:描述如何修改字节码
                    .transform(new Transformer(pluginFinder))
                    .with(AgentBuilder.RedefinitionStrategy.RETRANSFORMATION)
                    .with(new RedefinitionListener())
                    .with(new Listener())
                    .installOn(instrumentation);

        try {
            ServiceManager.INSTANCE.boot();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            LOGGER.error(e, "Skywalking agent boot failure.");
        }

        Runtime.getRuntime()
                .addShutdownHook(new Thread(ServiceManager.INSTANCE::shutdown, "skywalking service shutdown thread"));
    }

通过上面编号3处的代码可以看到使用的是ByteBuddy字节码操作框架。

如何修改字节码

我们都知道通过Javaagent来修改字节码离不开ClassFileTransformer,同样的ByteBuddy也根据transform来描述如何修改字节码,如上面的编号4处的代码。

private static class Transformer implements AgentBuilder.Transformer {
        private PluginFinder pluginFinder;

        Transformer(PluginFinder pluginFinder) {
            this.pluginFinder = pluginFinder;
        }

        /**
         * 转换方法
         * @param builder
         * @param typeDescription 要被修改的Class类型
         * @param classLoader
         * @param module
         * @return
         */
        @Override
        public DynamicType.Builder<?> transform(final DynamicType.Builder<?> builder,
                                                final TypeDescription typeDescription,
                                                final ClassLoader classLoader,
                                                final JavaModule module) {
            //1、找到typeDescription要被哪些插件增强
            List<AbstractClassEnhancePluginDefine> pluginDefines = pluginFinder.find(typeDescription);
            if (pluginDefines.size() > 0) {
                DynamicType.Builder<?> newBuilder = builder;
                EnhanceContext context = new EnhanceContext();
                for (AbstractClassEnhancePluginDefine define : pluginDefines) {
                    //2、使用插件增强
                    DynamicType.Builder<?> possibleNewBuilder = define.define(
                            typeDescription, newBuilder, classLoader, context);
                    if (possibleNewBuilder != null) {
                        newBuilder = possibleNewBuilder;
                    }
                }
                if (context.isEnhanced()) {
                    LOGGER.debug("Finish the prepare stage for {}.", typeDescription.getName());
                }

                return newBuilder;
            }

            LOGGER.debug("Matched class {}, but ignore by finding mechanism.", typeDescription.getTypeName());
            return builder;
        }
    }

重点看看编号2处的代码如何用插件增强目标类。

public DynamicType.Builder<?> define(TypeDescription typeDescription, DynamicType.Builder<?> builder,
        ClassLoader classLoader, EnhanceContext context) throws PluginException {
        //1、插件的全路径名
        String interceptorDefineClassName = this.getClass().getName();
        //2、要被增强类的全路径名
        String transformClassName = typeDescription.getTypeName();
        if (StringUtil.isEmpty(transformClassName)) {
            LOGGER.warn("classname of being intercepted is not defined by {}.", interceptorDefineClassName);
            return null;
        }

        LOGGER.debug("prepare to enhance class {} by {}.", transformClassName, interceptorDefineClassName);
        WitnessFinder finder = WitnessFinder.INSTANCE;
        /**
         * find witness classes for enhance class
         */
        //3、一些插件需要依赖一些外部的类,他会找是否有对应依赖的类,如果没有就直接 return null,不再去修改字节码了
        String[] witnessClasses = witnessClasses();
        if (witnessClasses != null) {
            for (String witnessClass : witnessClasses) {
                if (!finder.exist(witnessClass, classLoader)) {
                    LOGGER.warn("enhance class {} by plugin {} is not working. Because witness class {} is not existed.", transformClassName, interceptorDefineClassName, witnessClass);
                    return null;
                }
            }
        }
        //4、一些插件需要依赖一些外部的方法,他会找是否有对应依赖的方法,如果没有就直接 return null,不再去修改字节码了
        List<WitnessMethod> witnessMethods = witnessMethods();
        if (!CollectionUtil.isEmpty(witnessMethods)) {
            for (WitnessMethod witnessMethod : witnessMethods) {
                if (!finder.exist(witnessMethod, classLoader)) {
                    LOGGER.warn("enhance class {} by plugin {} is not working. Because witness method {} is not existed.", transformClassName, interceptorDefineClassName, witnessMethod);
                    return null;
                }
            }
        }

        /**
         * find origin class source code for interceptor
         */
        //5、真正的增强
        DynamicType.Builder<?> newClassBuilder = this.enhance(typeDescription, builder, classLoader, context);

        context.initializationStageCompleted();
        LOGGER.debug("enhance class {} by {} completely.", transformClassName, interceptorDefineClassName);

        return newClassBuilder;
    }

上面编号5处的方法才是真正的增强逻辑,继续跟进去看看。

protected DynamicType.Builder<?> enhance(TypeDescription typeDescription, DynamicType.Builder<?> newClassBuilder,
        ClassLoader classLoader, EnhanceContext context) throws PluginException {
        //1、增强静态方法
        newClassBuilder = this.enhanceClass(typeDescription, newClassBuilder, classLoader);

        //2、增强实例方法
        newClassBuilder = this.enhanceInstance(typeDescription, newClassBuilder, classLoader, context);

        return newClassBuilder;
    }

这里分两个步骤,增强静态方法和增强实例方法,这里以编号2处的举例,继续跟进去。

private DynamicType.Builder<?> enhanceInstance(TypeDescription typeDescription,
        DynamicType.Builder<?> newClassBuilder, ClassLoader classLoader,
        EnhanceContext context) throws PluginException {
        //1、构造器拦截点,在执行构造器之前也有可能会执行其他逻辑来增强构造方法
        ConstructorInterceptPoint[] constructorInterceptPoints = getConstructorsInterceptPoints();
        //2、实例方法拦截点,对实例方法的增强
        InstanceMethodsInterceptPoint[] instanceMethodsInterceptPoints = getInstanceMethodsInterceptPoints();
        String enhanceOriginClassName = typeDescription.getTypeName();
        boolean existedConstructorInterceptPoint = false;
        if (constructorInterceptPoints != null && constructorInterceptPoints.length > 0) {
            existedConstructorInterceptPoint = true;
        }
        boolean existedMethodsInterceptPoints = false;
        if (instanceMethodsInterceptPoints != null && instanceMethodsInterceptPoints.length > 0) {
            existedMethodsInterceptPoints = true;
        }

        /**
         * nothing need to be enhanced in class instance, maybe need enhance static methods.
         */
        if (!existedConstructorInterceptPoint && !existedMethodsInterceptPoints) {
            return newClassBuilder;
        }

        /**
         * Manipulate class source code.<br/>
         *
         * new class need:<br/>
         * 1.Add field, name {@link #CONTEXT_ATTR_NAME}.
         * 2.Add a field accessor for this field.
         *
         * And make sure the source codes manipulation only occurs once.
         *
         */
        if (!typeDescription.isAssignableTo(EnhancedInstance.class)) {
            if (!context.isObjectExtended()) {
                newClassBuilder = newClassBuilder.defineField(
                    CONTEXT_ATTR_NAME, Object.class, ACC_PRIVATE | ACC_VOLATILE)
                                                 .implement(EnhancedInstance.class)
                                                 .intercept(FieldAccessor.ofField(CONTEXT_ATTR_NAME));
                context.extendObjectCompleted();
            }
        }

        /**
         * 3、enhance constructors 增强构造方法
         */
        if (existedConstructorInterceptPoint) {

看到上述编号5的时候是不是就觉得熟悉了,这不就是ByteBuddy创建agent的代码吗,按照这个逻辑InstMethodsInter这个类就是委托类,他里面的intercept方法才是真正增强/代理的核心。

@RuntimeType
    public Object intercept(@This Object obj, @AllArguments Object[] allArguments, @SuperCall Callable<?> zuper,
        @Origin Method method) throws Throwable {
        //1、要增强的对象
        EnhancedInstance targetObject = (EnhancedInstance) obj;

        MethodInterceptResult result = new MethodInterceptResult();
        try {
            //2、在真正方法调用之前进行增强
            interceptor.beforeMethod(targetObject, method, allArguments, method.getParameterTypes(), result);
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            LOGGER.error(t, "class[{}] before method[{}] intercept failure", obj.getClass(), method.getName());
        }

        Object ret = null;
        try {
            if (!result.isContinue()) {
                ret = result._ret();
            } else {
                //3、真正的方法调用
                ret = zuper.call();
            }
        } catch (Throwable t) {
            try {
                //4、真正的方法调用之后处理异常
                interceptor.handleMethodException(targetObject, method, allArguments, method.getParameterTypes(), t);
            } catch (Throwable t2) {
                LOGGER.error(t2, "class[{}] handle method[{}] exception failure", obj.getClass(), method.getName());
            }
            throw t;
        } finally {
            try {
                //5、真正的方法调用之后进行增强
                ret = interceptor.afterMethod(targetObject, method, allArguments, method.getParameterTypes(), ret);
            } catch (Throwable t) {
                LOGGER.error(t, "class[{}] after method[{}] intercept failure", obj.getClass(), method.getName());
            }
        }
        return ret;
    }

那这里会问这个interceptor到底是什么呢,往回跟踪代码

InstanceMethodsInterceptPoint[] instanceMethodsInterceptPoints = getInstanceMethodsInterceptPoints();

for (InstanceMethodsInterceptPoint instanceMethodsInterceptPoint : instanceMethodsInterceptPoints) {
                String interceptor = instanceMethodsInterceptPoint.getMethodsInterceptor();

看到这个getInstanceMethodsInterceptPoints是不是又很熟悉呢,这其实就是我们上面自定义插件的时候实现的ClassInstanceMethodsEnhancePluginDefine里面的方法。

那现在问题清楚了,总的来说可以用下面的图描述:

skywalking agent docker部署_apache

总结

其实Skywalking只是通过ByteBuddy修改字节码,在目标方法前后执行增强代码,但是具体增强的逻辑还是在各自的插件里面定义。只能感叹插件机制真强大。
