fix(runtime): root call-argument lists across the allocations that can move them - #10587

Conversation
…n move them #10532 removed the argument-count ceilings on dynamic calls, but two flows in that path held GC values in plain Rust locals across an allocation: - Reflect.apply rebinds a concise-method callee's captured `this`, which CLONES the closure -- the one shape rebind_explicit_this allocates for. The callee, receiver and every argument sat in plain locals across that clone. - CreateListFromArrayLike's array-like path allocates an index-key string per element (and can run a getter), with the source object and previously-read elements sitting in plain locals across it. - A (...fixed, ...rest) body that also synthesizes `arguments` builds TWO arrays; the second allocation could move the first, which the bundler then handed the callee by its pre-move address. Root only where a collection is actually possible: a new rebind_explicit_this_allocates predicate (kept in sync with rebind_explicit_this's clone shape by a same-file test) lets the common non-cloning Reflect.apply path skip rooting entirely, and only the cloning shape takes the rooted slow path. value_can_move() skips rooting immediate values (numbers, undefined/null, etc.) in the array-like path. A first cut of this rewrite rooted unconditionally and cost Reflect.apply +38.8% instructions; this version measures near zero (see perf table in the PR). Adds gc/collection_points.rs (named, test-only collection points so a rooting regression test can arm a copying minor at a specific allocation inside one call) and gc/tests/runtime_roots/call_argument_lists.rs, which reproduces all three flows and asserts the callee observes post-collection addresses. Recovered from a mirror after the original build host was destroyed mid-validation; re-verified (apply, build, new tests, cargo fmt, lint gates) from scratch on a fresh clone.

…lists CodeRabbit review of #10587: create_list_from_array_like's value_can_move only recognized NaN-boxed (POINTER_TAG/STRING_TAG/BIGINT_TAG) values as movable. Some closures (the Promise executor's resolve/reject, from js_promise_new_with_executor) and some TypedArray/Buffer pointers on certain platforms are handed through as a raw pointer bitcast to f64 -- no NaN-box tag, top16 == 0 -- rather than POINTER_TAG-boxed (see the existing comments in object/native_call_method/handle_methods.rs and value/dynamic_object.rs for the established precedent). Such a value read out of an array-like object's indexed property and copied bare into the local out Vec was invisible to value_can_move, so a collection triggered by a later index's key-string allocation could move it while it sat unrooted. value_move_kind now also recognizes a raw heap-pointer-shaped bit pattern via the existing addr_class::is_plausible_heap_addr predicate, and roots it through RuntimeHandleScope::root_heap_word_u64 (the raw-aware HeapWord slot -- root_nanbox_f64's Nanbox slot only rewrites tagged bit patterns and would silently do nothing for a raw one). Also extends the test-only collection_points harness with arm_collection_point_after(site, skip), so a test can put the forced collection on a LATER loop iteration than the first -- needed here because the one-shot arm firing on the very first iteration meant every element was always read fresh post-collection, never exercising the "already read, then a later allocation moves it" window the fix protects. New test: array_like_argument_lists_root_raw_untagged_heap_pointer_elements, proven to fail against the previous commit's create_list_from_array_like and pass with this fix.

On the Both measured workloads pass real arrays, which take the fast-path branch before ever reaching This repo has been bitten by exactly that before: at To settle it rather than argue it, the technique that cancels partition noise is a differential probe: build two probes that differ only in iteration count inside each binary, difference them, and validate with a bare-loop control. That isolates per-iteration cost from whole-binary layout. Alternatively, re-measure both arms at I'd treat the number as unexplained-but-probably-artifact, not as a regression blocking this PR. Flagging it here so it's on the record either way. |

Summary
Follow-up to #10532 (landed in v0.5.1592). That PR removed the argument-count
ceilings on dynamic calls, but review afterward found three GC-managed
argument-list flows in the new/touched code that held values in plain Rust
locals across an allocation that can move them:
Reflect.apply's rebind. A concise/object-literal-method callee readsits captured
thisfrom a reserved slot, soReflect.applyrebinds it tothe explicit receiver — and for exactly that callee shape, the rebind
clones the closure. The callee, the receiver and every argument sat in
plain locals across that allocation.
CreateListFromArrayLike's array-like path (alsoReflect.apply, whenthe third argument is not itself an array). It allocates an index-key string
per element and can run a getter, with the source object and the elements
already read sitting in plain locals across both.
argumentsdual-array bundler. A(...fixed, ...rest)bodythat also uses the synthesized
argumentsobject builds two arrays; thesecond allocation could move the first, and the callee was handed the first
array's pre-move address.
None of the three needs GC stress to matter in principle — an allocation
landing in the wrong window is a correctness bug regardless of how rarely it
fires — but they only surface under a moving collection at that exact point,
which is why they read as edge cases rather than as reproducible crashes.
Root cause
crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy.rs,call_with_this_and_args(called fromjs_reflect_applyviacrates/perry-runtime/src/proxy/reflect_misc.rs):called
crate::closure::rebind_explicit_this(f, this_arg)unconditionally,with
f,this_argandargs: &[f64]all live as plain locals/slicethrough it.
crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy.rs,create_list_from_array_like: readvalue.to_bits()into a rawobj_ptronce, before the per-index loop, thenreused that same (potentially stale) pointer on every iteration while
allocating an index-key string per element.
crates/perry-runtime/src/closure/registry.rs,dispatch_rest_bundled:called
build_rest_arrayfor the rest array, then (when applicable) calledit again for the
argumentsarray, and handed the callee the firstf64's pre-second-call value.Fix
rebind_explicit_this_allocates(closure/dispatch/bound.rs): a newpredicate that answers, without allocating, whether
rebind_explicit_thiswould clone for a given target — true for exactly oneshape (non-arrow closure, reserved
thiscapture slot, rebindable). Asame-file test (
rebind_predicate_tests) asserts it agrees with whatrebind_explicit_this's clone actually does, on every shape the cloneearly-outs on.
call_with_this_and_argsasks first. The common case (arrow, plainfunction, bound function, non-closure value) takes the unchanged,
allocation-free
dispatch_with_explicit_thispath. Only the one cloningshape takes a new
#[cold]call_rooted_across_rebind, which roots thereceiver and every argument in a
RuntimeHandleScope, performs therebind, and re-reads the (possibly-moved) arguments out of the handles
before dispatching.
js_reflect_applyitself now roots the callee and the receiver acrosscreate_list_from_array_like(which can allocate and run a getter)before either reaches
call_with_this_and_args.create_list_from_array_like: roots the source object across the loop;re-derives
obj_ptrfrom the (possibly-refreshed) handle on everyiteration instead of reusing a value read once before the loop started.
Only elements a moving collection can actually relocate
(
value_can_move: pointer/string/BigInt) get a handle — numbers,booleans,
undefined/nullare immediate values a collection cannottouch, so an all-primitive argument list pays one scope and a tag check
per element, nothing more.
dispatch_rest_bundled: both arrays are now built frombuild_rest_array_rootedover handles the surrounding scope already holds,so the rest array's handle survives the
argumentsarray's allocation andis re-read from the handle afterward, rather than handed to the callee by
its pre-allocation value.
A first cut of this fix rooted unconditionally on every
Reflect.applycalland cost +38.8% instructions on a
Reflect.applymicrobenchmark. Thisversion's whole point is rooting only where a collection is actually
possible — see Performance below for the number that replaces that regression.
Tests
crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/runtime_roots/call_argument_lists.rs(new, 3 tests). Each test arms a named collection point
(
crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/collection_points.rs, new — test-onlyinfrastructure that runs one copying minor the next time a specific,
named call site is reached, since an allocation-trigger test cannot aim a
collection at one allocation inside one call) at the exact allocation the
fix now roots across, then asserts the callee observed the
post-collection addresses, not the pre-collection ones — plus a premise
assertion that a collection genuinely ran and something genuinely moved, so
the test cannot pass vacuously:

still be there)

the existing gap tests' shapes, not a dedicated new getter-reentrancy case.
Recovery note
This fix was originally developed, tested and staged for commit on a
per-hour build host that was shut down mid-validation (owner action, not an
incident) before it could be pushed. It survived as an applied, uncommitted
tree in a session scratchpad mirror. This PR is that same patch, re-applied
to current
main, and completely re-validated from scratch on a freshclone: re-built, all tests re-run, lint re-run (and two new, genuine lint
findings from the recovery — the
gc_runtime_root_holdersclassification anda
raw_handle_debtrefactor — fixed in this pass, since they did not existwhen the patch was first staged), and the performance A/B re-measured.
Part of #10532 (that issue's own scope — arity ceilings — is already fixed
and merged; this is additional rooting hardening found in review of that
change, not a re-opening of it).
