java对象头

1）对象头：包括标记字段和类型指针两部份内容：

1)Mark Word(标记字段)：用于存储运行时对象自身的数据。
	1>占用内存大小与虚拟机位长一致，在运行期间，考虑到JVM的空间效率，Mark Word被设计成为一个非固定的数据结构，以便存储更多有效的数据。
	2>存储运行时对象自身的数据：
	
		哈希码(hash)
		GC分代年龄(age)
		锁标识位(lock)：
			00	轻量级锁
			01	偏向锁
			10	重量级锁
		偏向锁标识位(biased_lock)
			0	无锁
			1	偏向锁
		偏向线程ID(JavaThread*)
		偏向时间戳(epoch)
	
	3>Mark Word里存储的数据会随着锁标志位的变化而变化，即不一样的锁状态，存储着不一样的数据：
	
		锁状态	    存储内容				 锁标识位            偏向锁标识位(是不是偏向锁)
		-------- ------------------------------            --------            --------
		无锁状态	    哈希码、GC分代年龄				01			0
		偏向锁	    线程ID、偏向时间戳、GC分代年龄		        01			1
		轻量级锁	    指向栈中锁记录的指针				00			无
		重量级锁	    指向monitor的指针				10			无
		GC标记		无					11			无

2)Class Metadata Address(类型指针)：指向对象的类元数据(方法区的Class数据)，虚拟机经过这个指针肯定该对象是哪一个类的实例。

2）实例数据：

存放类的属性数据信息，包括父类的属性信息，若是是数组，则还包括了数组的长度。

3）对齐填充：

因为虚拟机要求对象起始地址必须是8字节的整数倍，填充数据不是必须存在的，仅仅是为了字节对齐。

4）hotspot/src/share/vm/oops/markOop.hpp 源码中的说明：

// The markOop describes the header of an object.
//
// Note that the mark is not a real oop but just a word.
// It is placed in the oop hierarchy for historical reasons.
//
// Bit-format of an object header (most significant first, big endian layout below):
//
//  32 bits:
//  --------
//             hash:25 ------------>| age:4    biased_lock:1 lock:2 (normal object)
//             JavaThread*:23 epoch:2 age:4    biased_lock:1 lock:2 (biased object)
//             size:32 ------------------------------------------>| (CMS free block)
//             PromotedObject*:29 ---------->| promo_bits:3 ----->| (CMS promoted object)
//
//  64 bits:
//  --------
//  unused:25 hash:31 -->| unused:1   age:4    biased_lock:1 lock:2 (normal object)
//  JavaThread*:54 epoch:2 unused:1   age:4    biased_lock:1 lock:2 (biased object)
//  PromotedObject*:61 --------------------->| promo_bits:3 ----->| (CMS promoted object)
//  size:64 ----------------------------------------------------->| (CMS free block)
//
//  unused:25 hash:31 -->| cms_free:1 age:4    biased_lock:1 lock:2 (COOPs && normal object)
//  JavaThread*:54 epoch:2 cms_free:1 age:4    biased_lock:1 lock:2 (COOPs && biased object)
//  narrowOop:32 unused:24 cms_free:1 unused:4 promo_bits:3 ----->| (COOPs && CMS promoted object)
//  unused:21 size:35 -->| cms_free:1 unused:7 ------------------>| (COOPs && CMS free block)
//
//  - hash contains the identity hash value: largest value is
//    31 bits, see os::random().  Also, 64-bit vm's require
//    a hash value no bigger than 32 bits because they will not
//    properly generate a mask larger than that: see library_call.cpp
//    and c1_CodePatterns_sparc.cpp.
//
//  - the biased lock pattern is used to bias a lock toward a given
//    thread. When this pattern is set in the low three bits, the lock
//    is either biased toward a given thread or "anonymously" biased,
//    indicating that it is possible for it to be biased. When the
//    lock is biased toward a given thread, locking and unlocking can
//    be performed by that thread without using atomic operations.
//    When a lock's bias is revoked, it reverts back to the normal
//    locking scheme described below.
//
//    Note that we are overloading the meaning of the "unlocked" state
//    of the header. Because we steal a bit from the age we can
//    guarantee that the bias pattern will never be seen for a truly
//    unlocked object.
//
//    Note also that the biased state contains the age bits normally
//    contained in the object header. Large increases in scavenge
//    times were seen when these bits were absent and an arbitrary age
//    assigned to all biased objects, because they tended to consume a
//    significant fraction of the eden semispaces and were not
//    promoted promptly, causing an increase in the amount of copying
//    performed. The runtime system aligns all JavaThread* pointers to
//    a very large value (currently 128 bytes (32bVM) or 256 bytes (64bVM))
//    to make room for the age bits & the epoch bits (used in support of
//    biased locking), and for the CMS "freeness" bit in the 64bVM (+COOPs).
//
//    [JavaThread* | epoch | age | 1 | 01]       lock is biased toward given thread
//    [0           | epoch | age | 1 | 01]       lock is anonymously biased
//
//  - the two lock bits are used to describe three states: locked/unlocked and monitor.
//
//    [ptr             | 00]  locked             ptr points to real header on stack
//    [header      | 0 | 01]  unlocked           regular object header
//    [ptr             | 10]  monitor            inflated lock (header is wapped out)
//    [ptr             | 11]  marked             used by markSweep to mark an object not valid at any other time
//
//    We assume that stack/thread pointers have the lowest two bits cleared.
