perf(runtime): resolve Array.prototype.map's result header past 64 elements (−54%) - #10577
proggeramlug wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…ements Array.prototype.map's plain-result fill used the once-resolved-header fast path (fill_resolved_array_slot) only for a source of at most 64 elements; longer sources fell back to note_array_slot, which re-classifies the result's ownership/forwarding through clean_arr_ptr on every element (array_numeric_layout) and unconditionally pays layout_note_slot. The result pointer is re-derived from its own GC root immediately before either helper runs, with no intervening allocation or safepoint, so fill_resolved_array_slot's contract holds regardless of length -- the 64-element split was scope, not a correctness boundary. Also drops a redundant raw ptr::write of the mapped value that ran right before both branches; both helpers perform their own (possibly canonicalized) store of the same slot, so it was always immediately overwritten. a.map(x => x + v) over a 16-vs-80-element number[]: 450.8 -> 206.1 instructions per element (-54.3%), measured as the marginal per-call cost difference of two probes differing only in element count (control (loop80-loop16)/64 ~0 in both arms).

Correct the collection timing description.
The callback allocates heavily and can trigger collection during cb_site.call. After the callback returns, js_array_map re-derives result from result_rooted and calls fill_resolved_array_slot without another callback or fixture-controlled allocation. The fixture cannot force collection between result re-derivation and the store.
Update the fixture comment and changelog to describe collection as occurring before result-pointer re-derivation. Remove the claim that the fixture collects between header resolution and storage.

a.map(x => x + v)over anumber[]cost 451 instructions per element; node does it in 7.6. That was the worst ratio in the engine at 56×.451 → 206 per element, −54.3%. The callback body is only 3.5% of that profile — dispatch was never the problem. Array bookkeeping was.
The fast path already existed, capped at 64 elements
js_array_mapcalledfill_resolved_array_slotonly when the source had at most 64 elements; longer sources fell back tonote_array_slot, which re-classifies the result's ownership and forwarding throughclean_arr_ptron every element and unconditionally payslayout_note_slot. Profiled, those two were 22.3% (array_numeric_layout) and 18.8% (layout_note_slot) of the loop — 41% between them.The cap was scope, not a correctness boundary.
fill_resolved_array_slot's contract is that the head be a live, non-forwarded pointer re-derived with no intervening allocation or safepoint. In this loopresult = result_arr(&result_rooted)re-reads the GC root immediately aftercb_site.call(...)returns — the only point at which the callback can allocate or collect — and immediately before the helper runs, with nothing between them. That holds on every iteration regardless of length.Crucially the fast path is not missing any collector work at scale: it retires the dense raw-f64 claim when the mapped value is not a number, notes the layout unless provably elidable, and emits the old→young edge through
runtime_write_barrier_slotwhen the result is in old-gen and the child is not scalar. A result past the born-old threshold storing a pointer is therefore covered exactly as the slow path covered it.It also drops a raw
ptr::writeof the mapped value that ran immediately before both branches — both helpers perform their own, possibly canonicalising, store of that same slot, so the earlier write was always immediately clobbered.Measurement
(map80−map16)/64(loop80−loop16)/64c8cf450563)Per-element cost is the difference of two probes that differ only in element count, taken within each binary, so driver dispatch and code layout cancel before the arms are compared. N=20000, median of 7.
Validation
test_gap_array_map_resolved_fill_scale.ts(new), built to attack the hoisting risk rather than confirm the happy path: sources on both sides of the old 64-element boundary and past the ~2048-element / 16 KB born-old threshold; callbacks returning non-numeric values (string, object,undefined, boolean) so the numeric proof is exercised and refused; a callback that allocates heavily mid-map; one that pushes to the source; one that truncates it mid-map; sparse, holey and all-holes sources; a frozen source; an object-identity payload; and a plain numeric control. Byte-identical to node 26.5.1.PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1: both exit 0, output matches node,dangling=0,missing_rewrites=0, and 20,104 / 20,123 copying minors — non-zero, so the instrument was live rather than silently idle.RUSTFLAGS=-D warnings cargo check -p perry-runtime --all-targetsclean; fmt, file-size cap, test registration, andgc_store_site_inventory.py(plus its--self-test) all pass.cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --lib: 3,999 passed, 2 failed — both verified pre-existing.iter_methods.rsalone was reverted to unmodifiedmainand those two tests re-run: they fail identically. They assertdebug_assert!-gated behaviour, and plaincargo test --releasebuilds withdebug-assertions = false, so the bodies they depend on are compiled out. Unrelated to this change.Not done
The result array's numeric-layout flag is left unset going forward by both the old and the new fast path — a pre-existing property of
js_array_map, out of scope here.The two sub-changes were not isolated with a separate differential build; the −54.3% is their combined effect.
