fix(runtime): root event/listener dispatch copies across moving GC - #10606
proggeramlug wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Several event/listener dispatch loops clone listener callbacks and/or call arguments into plain Rust locals (a Vec<Listener>, a Vec<f64>, or a raw array pointer), then call into user code that can allocate and trigger a moving minor collection, then reuse those unrooted copies for the next listener. Root every such copy through a RuntimeHandleScope and re-read the current (possibly relocated) value before each dispatch, instead of trusting the pre-call copy. Reproduced at crates/perry-runtime/src/node_stream_event_emitter.rs's emit_stream_event/call_listener_args (the path `class X extends EventEmitter` actually dispatches through): a 3-listener emitter whose second listener allocates heavily segfaults dereferencing the third listener's stale closure pointer, reliably, with no GC env knobs. Gone under PERRY_GEN_GC=0 (full mark-sweep, non-moving). Under PERRY_GC_DIAG=1 PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1 the from-space quarantine reports the exact fault: a retired-from-space deref of a GC_TYPE_CLOSURE object, matching a symbolized backtrace through js_native_call_value <- call_listener_args <- emit_stream_event. The same pattern is fixed at the four other sites an earlier code-read audit named: perry-stdlib's events.rs (js_event_emitter_emit/emit0, dispatch_error_monitor, emit_meta_event), domain.rs (emit_domain_event), worker_threads/worker_surface.rs (stream_emit_event), and events/warnings.rs (emit_warning). events.rs's own asynchronous dispatch branch already rooted its callback/receiver/ args via js_async_resource_run_in_async_scope; the synchronous branch did not, which is the same finding by construction, independent of the runtime repro.

Root listener snapshots before removing once listeners and use refreshed handles.
remove_once_listeners emits removeListener through emit_meta_event. When that event has listeners, emit_meta_event dispatches user JavaScript through emit_stream_event and js_native_call_value. The callback can allocate and move values in monitor_snapshot or snapshot before their handles are created. The later loops can then call stale callback bits.
The function also reads the unrooted stream, event, and args locals after creating handles. Use stream_h, event_h, and refreshed arg_handles for every post-scope read.
Create monitor_handles and listener_handles before their respective remove_once_listeners calls. Pass each callback through its handle when dispatching.

Root listener callbacks before allocation and error-monitor callbacks.
In emit_meta_event, snapshot and listener_arg remain unrooted when js_string_from_bytes can trigger moving GC. The later root_listener_callbacks call can then root stale callback addresses from snapshot.
On the "error" path, js_event_emitter_emit and js_event_emitter_emit0 call dispatch_error_monitor after copying the main listener snapshot but before creating the scope and rooting that snapshot. dispatch_error_monitor invokes user callbacks and roots only its own snapshot. A collection there can leave the main snapshot stale, so the later call_emitter_listener calls can dispatch retired callback pointers.
Create the scope and root listener_arg and the main listener callbacks before these allocation and callback operations. Read callbacks through their handles at dispatch time.

Root the saved implicit receiver across each callback. In both emit_warning and stream_emit_event, js_implicit_this_set returns the prior receiver into a bare f64 before js_native_call_value invokes user code. A moving collection during that callback can make the saved value stale. Restore IMPLICIT_THIS from a RuntimeHandleScope handle in both paths.

Root each callback before native dispatch.
callback is copied into an unrooted f64 at Line 402. js_native_call_value can allocate (via js_array_alloc and js_array_push_f64 before it extracts the closure pointer at Line 107) and trigger moving collection. arr_h keeps the array alive, but collection moves the callback entry itself. The local copy callback becomes stale. A listener that allocates causes the next iteration to dispatch to stale pointer bits.
The repository's rooting contract requires this. The comparable dispatch site buffer_receiver.rs:66-70 explicitly roots the callback with scope.root_nanbox_f64(*callback), and its comment at Lines 59–65 states: "Closures are non-movable, so an unrooted one is swept in place mid-loop and the next dispatch calls freed memory."
Root callback after reading it from arr_h, then pass callback_h.get_nanbox_f64() to js_native_call_value. Refresh the callback from arr_h at the start of each iteration.

407, In the callback dispatch loop, root each callback immediately after reading
it from arr_h using scope.root_nanbox_f64, and pass the rooted handle’s value to
js_native_call_value. Refresh the callback from arr_h at the start of every
iteration so callbacks remain valid across allocations and garbage collection.

Summary
Event/listener dispatch loops across several runtime and stdlib sites clone listener
callbacks and/or call arguments into plain Rust locals, then call into user code that
can allocate and trigger a moving minor collection, then reuse those unrooted copies
for the next listener. Root every such copy through a
RuntimeHandleScopeandre-read the current (possibly relocated) value before each dispatch, instead of
trusting the pre-call copy.
Correction to the issue as filed: #10600 named four
perry-stdlibsites from acode-reading audit and asked for confirm-or-refute before any fix. That audit's
pattern is right, but its primary site is wrong:
class X extends EventEmitter(and every Node stream class, since streams are EventEmitters) dispatches through
crates/perry-runtime/src/node_stream_event_emitter.rs, not throughperry-stdlib/src/events.rs's handle-tableEventEmitterHandle. That stdlib path isonly reached by a bare
new EventEmitter()when theperry-ext-eventswell-knownbinding isn't linked — which it always is in a standard build, so in practice the
subclass path is the one real programs hit. This PR fixes both.
Confirmation (before any fix)
Repro:
class Bus extends EventEmitter {}, 3 listeners, the second of which allocates~6000 small objects, dispatched 300 times (this is now
test-files/test_gap_10600_event_emitter_dispatch_rooting.ts).PERRY_GEN_GC=0(full mark-sweep, non-moving): succeeds 3/3runs, output byte-identical to Node. This isolates the bug to the moving collector.

--debug-symbols, gdb) confirms the fault site:js_native_call_value<-call_listener_args<-emit_stream_event. The instrumentarmed at the default
PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE_DEPTH(4) — no escalation needed;the stale use happens within the same dispatch loop as the collection, not hundreds
of cycles later.
perry-stdlib/src/events.rs'scall_emitter_listeneralready disagrees with itself. Its asynchronous branch(
async_resource_handle != 0) opens aRuntimeHandleScopeand roots the callback,receiver, and argument array via
js_async_resource_run_in_async_scope; itssynchronous branch calls
js_native_call_valuewith the same values completelyunrooted, same function, same file, same requirement.
Root cause
A "listener snapshot" (a
Vec<Listener>/Vec<f64>/raw array pointer, taken oncebefore a dispatch loop so a
once-listener removed mid-dispatch doesn't affect theemit already in progress) is a plain Rust local, not a GC root. The live listener
storage each snapshot is cloned from is rooted (a registered scanner rewrites it
in place on every collection) — it's specifically the ephemeral clone, held across
multiple potentially-allocating listener calls, that goes stale.
Fix
Five sites, same pattern: root every value that must survive across the dispatch loop
through one
RuntimeHandleScope, and read the handle's current value at each callsite instead of the snapshot's.
crates/perry-runtime/src/node_stream_event_emitter.rs:emit_stream_event— theprimary, demonstrated site. Roots
stream,event,args, and both theerror-monitor and main listener snapshots.
crates/perry-stdlib/src/events.rs: added aroot_listener_callbacks()helper(
Listener.callbackis a raw, untagged heap pointer, so it usesroot_heap_word_u64_slice, notroot_nanbox_f64_slice— the raw-aware slot PRfix(runtime): root call-argument lists across the allocations that can move them #10587 needed for the same reason). Applied to
js_event_emitter_emit,js_event_emitter_emit0,dispatch_error_monitor, andemit_meta_event(
newListener/removeListenerinternal events — same shape, not previously named).crates/perry-stdlib/src/domain.rs:emit_domain_event— roots the (alreadynanboxed) listener values and args.
crates/perry-stdlib/src/worker_threads/worker_surface.rs:stream_emit_event—roots
this, the listener array's own raw pointer (a stale copy here corrupts everysubsequent read, not just one listener), and
arg.crates/perry-stdlib/src/events/warnings.rs:emit_warning— single dispatch call,lower-confidence risk (no loop, so it needs
js_native_call_value's own internalpreamble to allocate before dereferencing the callee, which I could not demonstrate),
fixed anyway since it's cheap and the issue named it explicitly.
Deliberately not fixed:
worker_surface.rs'sstream_remove_listenerholds a rawarray pointer across an internal
js_array_push_f64loop with no user callbackinvolved — a different, unconfirmed risk class (an internally-triggered allocation,
not a dispatch-to-user-code allocation) outside this issue's framing. Noted, not fixed.
Tests
