Plug the more specialized async profiler engine - #113

Conversation
Out-of-process eBPF unwinding can't walk HotSpot JIT frames without -XX:+PreserveFramePointer, so JIT Java frames on an attached JVM often show as [unknown]. As an alternative, delegate Java stacks to async-profiler, which uses AsyncGetCallTrace in-process and needs no frame pointers. - java/async_profiler.rs (new): `find_asprof()` (locates asprof via $ASPROF, $PATH, common install dirs), and a `Session` that attaches `asprof -d <secs> -e cpu -o collapsed -f <tmp> <pid>` for the profiling window, then reads and re-roots the folded output. async-profiler's collapsed format matches profile-bee's, so merging is a splice; `reroot_line` prefixes each stack with a `process (pid)` root. Unit-tested. - CLI: `--java-engine <ebpf|async-profiler>` (default ebpf). - bin: `maybe_start_async_profiler()` gates on the flag + a JVM `--pid` + `--time` + an available asprof, starts the session concurrently with eBPF collection, and — since `--pid` already scopes eBPF to the one process — replaces that run's eBPF stacks with async-profiler's folded output. Falls back to eBPF stacks (with a logged reason) when prerequisites are unmet. Scope: batch (collapse/svg/json) output only; single-PID replacement. Streaming/ serve/TUI and multi-process merge are follow-ups. Builds; 4 unit tests pass; fmt/clippy clean. Live end-to-end demo against a JVM next.
…r-pid)
Generalize --java-engine async-profiler from single --pid to system-wide.
- Without --pid, discover every JVM (discover_jvm_pids) and attach async-profiler
to each; per-JVM attach failures just keep that process's eBPF stacks.
- New async_profiler::{folded_line_pid, merge_system_wide}: attribute each eBPF
folded line to a process via the `(pid)` in its --group-by-process root, drop
the lines of every successfully-attached JVM, and splice in async-profiler's
re-rooted output. Native processes and unattachable JVMs keep eBPF stacks.
- bin: `start_async_profiler` returns a plan (sessions + system_wide flag);
`merge_async_profiler` drains sessions and merges. System-wide mode force-
enables --group-by-process (so eBPF roots carry the pid for matching) and
disables profile-bee's own JVM auto-discovery (so both don't attach the same
JVMs via jcmd/perf-map).
- Single --pid remains a full replacement (eBPF already scoped to that process).
8 unit tests pass (added folded_line_pid + merge_system_wide coverage);
fmt/clippy clean. Live system-wide demo next.
No more manual install. If `asprof` isn't found via $ASPROF/$PATH/common install roots, the pinned official async-profiler release for the host arch (x86_64 x64 / aarch64 arm64) is downloaded, SHA-256-verified against a pinned digest, and cached under $XDG_CACHE_HOME|$HOME/.cache/profile-bee on first use. Nothing unverified is executed; offline hosts can still set $ASPROF or pre-place the binary in the cache. - java/async_profiler.rs: `ensure_asprof()` (async: reqwest download, sha2 verify, flate2+tar extract) and `asprof_path()` (sync resolver incl. cache). Pinned async-profiler 4.5 + per-arch SHA-256. - bin: resolve the asprof binary once up front via `ensure_asprof().await` (before eBPF setup) and thread the path into `start_async_profiler`. - deps: add `tar`, `sha2` (reqwest + flate2 already present). - Version 0.3.22 -> 0.3.23 across workspace crates. - Docs: README (feature bullet + limitation note), CHANGELOG (v0.3.23), CLI help, and module docs updated for auto-download. Build + 6 unit tests pass; fmt/clippy clean. Live download+attach test next.
The auto-download cached asprof under $HOME/.cache, which is /root/.cache when profile-bee runs via sudo — root-only (0700). async-profiler injects libasyncProfiler.so into the *target* JVM, which then dlopens it as its own (non-root) uid and fails: "libasyncProfiler.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied", so every attach exited 255 and fell back to eBPF. - Cache under a world-readable location (`/var/tmp/profile-bee`, override `$PROFILE_BEE_CACHE`) instead of $HOME/.cache. - After extraction, chmod the tree world-readable/traversable (a+rX) defensively against a restrictive umask. - Docs updated (module, CHANGELOG). Re-tested end to end: fresh download → verify → cache → attach → the JVM's stacks come from async-profiler with 0 unknown (`GcBurn.main` named); idle JVM with no samples gracefully keeps eBPF. Cache verified world-readable.
…ess) Add connect (15s) + total (120s) timeouts to the asprof download so a host without GitHub egress fails fast into the eBPF fallback rather than hanging the profiling run on a stuck connection. Validated on an aarch64 fleet host: the stress JVM (running as ec2-user, non-root) attached via the world-readable cache and resolved 47,185 frames with ~0.01% unknown.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds the experimental ChangesAsync-profiler Java engine
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This change adds async-profiler collection but currently retains filesystem path vulnerabilities that can redirect cache permission changes or profiler output, while native OTLP mode can silently omit Java stacks, non-TUI builds may fail, and sampling durations can become inconsistent. The security issues are high impact and the remaining correctness problems can affect production results, so the PR should not merge until they are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Session::startlaunches async-profiler without-i. async-profiler 4.5 therefore uses its 10 ms default interval (100 Hz), while eBPF usesopt.frequency(99 Hz by default).collapse_to_pprofdeclares the pprof period fromopt.frequency, so merged async-profiler counts have incorrect period metadata.

- Around line 465-469: Update the async-profiler duration guard around opt.time
to treat Some(0) the same as None: emit the existing fallback warning and return
None so eBPF collection continues until Ctrl-C. Only positive durations should
be converted to u64 and passed to Session::start.
- Around line 687-689: Restrict the AsyncProfiler setup around
JavaEngine::AsyncProfiler to documented batch mode, or return a clear error for
unsupported combinations such as --tui, --serve, --flush-interval, and raw-only
operation. Prevent those modes from disabling auto_java, forcing
group-by-process, or calling ensure_asprof().
In `@profile-bee/src/java/async_profiler.rs`:
- Around line 58-65: Harden cache handling in cache_dir(), asprof_path(), and
ensure_asprof() by atomically creating the cache root, rejecting symlinked or
foreign-owned path components, and rejecting writable components/files before
any cached asprof binary is returned or executed. Apply the same ownership,
writability, and symlink validation to the resolved asprof file, while
preserving normal use of trusted cached binaries.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 121: Update the async-profiler engine README bullet to state that
auto-download occurs only when no usable binary is found in $ASPROF, $PATH,
/opt/async-profiler, /usr/local/async-profiler, or the cache, matching the
lookup behavior of asprof_path.

- bin: only run the async-profiler setup (force --group-by-process, disable
profile-bee's Java auto-discovery, resolve/download asprof) in a supported
batch mode. --tui/--serve/--flush-interval/raw-only now warn and fall back to
eBPF instead of silently disabling Java naming or downloading a binary unused.
- bin: require a *positive* --time; `--time 0` (run-until-Ctrl-C) has no fixed
window for async-profiler's fixed-duration attach, so fall back to eBPF.
- async_profiler: harden the auto-download cache (default under world-writable
/var/tmp). `is_trusted_cache_path` requires every component from the cache root
to the binary to be a non-symlink, owned by root or the current euid, and not
group/other-writable; enforced when returning a cached asprof and around
extraction (root normalized to 0755 and re-checked; refuse a planted/foreign
cache) — so root never executes an attacker-planted asprof/libasyncProfiler.so.
- async_profiler: Session::start takes an interval; pass `-i {1e9/frequency}`ns
so async-profiler's sampling rate matches the eBPF --frequency.
- README: state auto-download only triggers when no usable asprof is found in
$ASPROF/$PATH//opt/async-profiler//usr/local/async-profiler/cache.
Build, 6 unit tests, fmt, clippy clean.

- Around line 694-695: Update the async-profiler activation gate around
async_profiler_active to exclude native OTLP collection when both the OTLP
endpoint and symbol-server options are configured, preventing the asprof engine
from being selected there. Preserve auto_java for this fallback path and leave
other batch-collection eligibility behavior unchanged.
- Line 694: Define an `is_tui` local with cfg-gated initialization so non-`tui`
builds do not reference the absent `Opt::tui` field, then use `is_tui` in the
`ap_batch_supported` expression while preserving the existing behavior when the
`tui` feature is enabled.

- Line 201: Validate the cache root and every parent component before the
permission update in the async profiler setup, ensuring user-created symlinks
such as the cache path or its parent chain are rejected or handled safely.
Perform this validation before the existing std::fs::set_permissions call on
root, while preserving the intended cache-directory setup behavior.
- Around line 293-294: Replace the predictable temp-path setup around the
async-profiler output with a securely generated unique file created using
exclusive, no-follow semantics and owned by the profiling user; pass that path
to asprof and retain the resulting file for finish to read, removing the
pre-delete flow involving output and remove_file.
- Line 292: Update Session::start so the async-profiler duration passed through
-d matches the eBPF sampling window exactly; do not round sub-second millisecond
values up to an extra second. Either reject --time values that are not whole
seconds before starting both profilers, or use a duration representation that
preserves matching millisecond precision across Java and eBPF.

…mp file, -d precision - bin: exclude native-OTLP export (otlp feature + endpoint + symbol-server, non-serve/tui) from the async-profiler engine — it uses the collect_raw path the merge doesn't wire into; keeps profile-bee's own Java naming for that export. Also alias `is_tui` under `#[cfg(feature = "tui")]` so the batch-gate compiles with --no-default-features (Opt::tui is tui-feature-gated). - bin: require a whole-second --time for async-profiler (its `-d` is integer seconds); a sub-second remainder would make the async-profiler window longer than the eBPF window, so reject and fall back to eBPF instead of rounding up. - async_profiler(cache): reject a symlinked/foreign-owned cache root *before* set_permissions (which follows symlinks) — chmod'ing an attacker-planted symlinked root would alter its target. - async_profiler(temp): replace the predictable `probee-asprof-<pid>.folded` + pre-delete with a /dev/urandom-named file created O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW (mode 0666 so the target JVM's uid can write it), retrying on collision — no reuse of a pre-planted file/symlink at a guessable path. Builds (default + --no-default-features), 6 unit tests, fmt/clippy clean.
…ble name)
The prior change pre-created the -f output with O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW, but
async-profiler creates the output file itself and refused the pre-existing file
("Could not open output file", exit 200), so every attach failed. async-profiler
also writes it as the *target* JVM's uid, so we can't pre-create it exclusively.
- Use an unpredictable path (128 bits of /dev/urandom in the name) that
async-profiler creates itself. Unguessable, so a pre-planted file/symlink at
that path isn't feasible; we never open/create/stat it ourselves, so no symlink
is followed on our side.
- finish() now removes the temp output on all paths (including errors), no leak.
Re-validated: single --pid attach → 404 frames, 0 unknown, GcBurn.main named, no
leftover temp file; whole-second --time guard and batch/OTLP gating still hold.
