Summary

Every inline-cache site codegen emits owned a [12 x i64] zeroinitializer global: 96 B of __bss per site whether or not the program ever executed it. On the Claude Code bundle that is 262k caches, 25 MB of zero-fill, and 18.7 MB dirty resident memory at idle (#9708), because a page is dirtied by the first cache touched on it and the few thousand hot sites are scattered across all of them.

This PR takes the issue's direction 1: a site now owns an 8-byte pointer slot, @perry_ic_N = private global ptr null, and the cache words are allocated per used site.

  • Runtime — new object/field_get_set/ic_slot.rs. pic_slot_resolve(slot) returns the site's cache, allocating it from a 64 KiB zeroed bump arena on the first priming miss and publishing it with a compare-and-swap (two perry/thread agents racing on one site agree on one cache); pic_slot_peek is the atomic read for entries that only inspect. Every IC entry now takes the slot's address: js_object_get_field_ic{,_miss,_overflow_load}, js_put_value_set_ic_miss (+ a way index instead of a pointer into the cache), js_put_value_set_ic_poly_tail, js_put_value_set_dyn_ic{,_miss}, js_object_get_symbol_property_ic_miss, js_object_get_symbol_then_field_ic_miss, js_value_length_property_ic_f64, js_packed_arraylike_index_get, js_object_own_method_cache_miss. Each resolves the slot only at its prime point, so a miss that cannot prime (proxy / string / small-handle receiver, missing key, accessor, frozen target) never allocates, and the write IC's poly tail is not allocated until a fifth shape arrives. Cache layout and every prime/evict policy are unchanged — the same words are written through the same PicCache / [i64; 8] / [u64; N] types, and the arena sizes the allocation from that type.
  • Codegeninline_cache_global_definition (the ptr null slot) replaces the six copies of the array-emission loop, and emit_inline_cache_slot gives every site the loaded pointer plus an i1 non-null proof. Each of the 12 emitting sites either folds the proof into the receiver guard it already evaluates (generic get, cached-field-index return, static-key write, Symbol and composed reads, the length IC) or, where word 0 is read inside a flat predicate (dynamic-key write, array-like index, imported-object method guard), reads it through select(present, cache, slot): the slot's own 8 bytes of null are exactly the zero token an empty global used to read as, so branch structure and transition-IC reachability are untouched. All cache-word GEPs go through the loaded pointer; only the runtime calls take the global.
  • ObservabilityPERRY_GC_CENSUS gains an ic.lazy_caches side-table row (resolved sites, arena bytes) so a run can assert the subject was live.
  • array/subclass.rs sat at the 2 000-line cap, so js_packed_arraylike_index_get and its cache types moved to the child module array/subclass_packed_index.rs.

Fixes #9708.

Hot-path cost (measured, as the issue asked)

Linux x86-64, perry-dev builds, perf stat -e instructions:u, base = 28c2925177 vs this branch:

program base lazy slots delta
all-generic-IC microbenchmark (95 M IC ops through any receivers) 13.662 G 14.196 G +3.9 %
benchmarks/bench_object_property.ts (dynamic-key write IC) 250.9 M 248.6 M −0.9 %
benchmarks/suite/bench_json_readonly.ts 2 263.2 M 2 258.6 M −0.2 %
benchmarks/bench_dynamic_property_keys.ts 1 129.1 M 1 124.5 M −0.4 %
07_object_create, 09_method_calls, 12_binary_trees, 14_closure ±0.00 %

The microbenchmark is the worst case: every operation is a generic-IC hit and nothing else. Disassembly shows exactly the expected delta per hit — mov rax,[rip+slot]; test rax,rax; je (the load has no dependency on the receiver and issues alongside the header loads) with the token compare and slot load now [rax]-relative — three instructions. On the issue's target (macOS arm64) the fused and lowers to a ccmp, so it is the slot load plus one instruction there. Generated __text grows ~22 B per site (+1 % on a 16k-site probe).

IC hit rates are unchanged, verified via the counters, not output: with PERRY_TYPED_FEEDBACK_TRACE both arms report identical totals on the microbenchmark — 81 666 674 guard passes, 18 333 339 guard failures, 18 333 339 fallback calls over 18 sites.

Footprint

A generated probe with 8 000 functions (16 000 read sites), of which every 10th function runs (1 604 sites prime — the scattered-hot-sites shape from the issue), Linux x86-64 with 4 KiB pages:

base lazy slots
.bss (size) 2 408 752 B 997 144 B
anonymous rw Private_Dirty (/proc/self/smaps, whole process) 1 660 kB 632 kB
PERRY_GC_CENSUS ic.lazy_caches 1 604 entries, 196 608 B arena

The base dirties the whole 1.5 MB cache array because every page holds a hot site; the slots take 128 kB and the arena ~154 kB. macOS uses 16 KiB pages, so the same scatter dirties proportionally more there — the cc numbers in the issue are the shape to re-measure with vmmap -summary on a bundle build (not done here: no macOS box in this run).

Test plan

  • New gap test test_gap_9708_lazy_inline_cache_slots.ts — every IC shape across the null → allocated transition (mono/poly/megamorphic reads, a site that can never prime, a nullish first read, inherited properties, static writes through the four ways and the poly tail, a frozen target, rotating dynamic keys, Symbol and composed Symbol-then-field reads with invalidation, Array-subclass length/index, the fused field-index return, hundreds of never-executed sites). Matches node 26.5.1 byte for byte on both arms.
  • --trace llvm on that test: 96 @perry_ic_* = private global ptr null, 0 zero-filled arrays; the generic-get header block carries the slot load and one fused compare.
  • cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib (RUST_TEST_THREADS=1): 3094 passed. cargo test -p perry-codegen --lib + all tests/*.rs suites: 1400 + all green. cargo test -p perry --test issue_8775_imported_object_specialization (the method-guard cache end to end): 2 passed. New unit tests in ic_slot.rs cover null slots, first-resolve/publish, re-resolve without allocation, pre-seeded stack caches, alignment, and 8 threads racing on one slot.
  • Gap A/B (165 tests over the property / object / symbol / proxy / subclass / class-field / accessor / prototype / shape / write / reflect / freeze / array-like filters, PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1, node 26.5.1): identical verdicts on both arms except the new test (PASS). Six ext-routed tests first flipped to COMPILE_FAIL on the fix arm; that was the runtime/compiler coherence stamp after a mid-run resync, and all six PASS on a coherent rebuild. Six failures are common to both arms (test_gap_2159_defineproperty_class_prototype, test_gap_3527_http_ctor_prototype, test_issue_1777_prototype_borrow, test_issue_4034_object_literal_semantics, test_issue_7981_thread_shape_stamp_parent, test_reflect_metadata) and are unrelated.
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: 63/64; the one failure is the pre-existing Linux-only pthread_getattr_np redeclaration in the warnings tier (CI is macOS). Re-run with only that lint allowed over CI's package scope: clean under -D warnings. check_file_size.sh, gc_runtime_root_holders.py, clippy, fmt: OK.

No version bump (maintainer bumps at merge).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Reduced memory usage for property access, method, write, symbol, length, and array-index caching.
    • Cache storage is allocated only for sites that are used, lowering idle application memory and binary data footprint.
    • Preserved existing cache behavior and lookup results, including polymorphic and megamorphic access patterns.
  • Monitoring

    • Memory census output now reports lazily allocated cache usage.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance for interpreting cache memory measurements in profiling data.

…erryTS#9708)

Every inline-cache site owned a `[12 x i64] zeroinitializer` global, 96 B
of __bss per site whether or not the program executed it; on the Claude
Code bundle that was 262k caches and 18.7 MB dirty at idle. A site now
owns `@perry_ic_N = private global ptr null`; the runtime allocates the
cache words from an arena on the site's first priming miss and publishes
them into the slot with a CAS. Hit paths load the slot, fold `!= null`
into the receiver guard they already evaluate, and read the words through
the pointer; every miss entry takes the slot's address. Cache layout and
prime/evict policy are unchanged; IC hit counters are identical.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Inline-cache sites now emit null pointer slots instead of fixed cache arrays. Runtime arenas allocate and publish cache storage on successful first misses. Codegen and runtime APIs, tests, census reporting, and documentation now use the slot-based layout.

A zeroed bump arena allocates aligned cache storage and publishes it with compare-and-swap. Runtime IC APIs now use typed cache slots.
Validation and documentation
crates/perry-runtime/src/**/*tests*, test-files/test_gap_9708_lazy_inline_cache_slots.ts, docs/src/internals/memory-model.md, changelog.d/9729-lazy-inline-cache-slots.md
Tests cover cache publication, concurrent misses, IC shapes, unprimable sites, writes, symbols, array subclasses, and dead sites. Census and memory documentation describe lazy cache storage.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 30fcd

Fresh inline-cache sites can access invalid memory on the supported ILP32 target, and concurrent cache publication is not read atomically. These runtime correctness risks should be fixed before merge.

slot with load_atomic_acquire using PTR, slot_ref, and an 8-byte width instead
of LlBlock::load, while preserving the existing null comparison and subsequent

- Around line 991-1009: Update lower_put_value_dyn_ic_inline to branch absent
ic_slot.present directly to the slow entry, avoiding any token load from
token_cache; for present slots, load the cache token exclusively from cache_ref
and preserve the existing guard and miss-path behavior.

In `@crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/imported_object.rs`:
- Line 95: The token_cache selection must not use the pointer slot as an i64
fallback when ic_slot.present is false. Update object_method_cache.deref so
absent slots branch directly to object_method_cache.revalidate, while the

test covering this path.

Use an acquire load for the inline-cache slot

emit_inline_cache_slot calls LlBlock::load, which emits a plain load. The runtime publishes the same slot with AtomicPtr::compare_exchange(..., Ordering::AcqRel, ...). Use load_atomic_acquire(PTR, &slot_ref, 8) because address-dependent cache reads do not make a plain load of this concurrently modified slot valid.

Guard the cache-token load with ic_slot.present. lower_put_value_dyn_ic_inline reaches the guard with an absent slot, then loads I64 from token_cache, which selects the four-byte ptr global on the supported arm64_32-apple-watchos ILP32 target. A first dynamic-key write can therefore perform an out-of-bounds load with undefined behavior before the miss path runs. Branch absent slots directly to the slow entry and load the token only from cache_ref.

Do not use the pointer slot as an i64 cache fallback.

When ic_slot.present is false, token_cache selects @perry_ic_N, but object_method_cache.deref unconditionally loads an i64 before reaching object_method_cache.revalidate. On ILP32 targets, the pointer global is four bytes, so this load is out of bounds and causes undefined behavior. Branch absent slots directly to object_method_cache.revalidate, and load cache word zero only when the slot is present. Add an ILP32 IR regression test.

95, The token_cache selection must not use the pointer slot as an i64 fallback
when ic_slot.present is false. Update object_method_cache.deref so absent slots
branch directly to object_method_cache.revalidate, while the cache-word-zero
load occurs only for present slots; add an ILP32 IR regression test covering
this path.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Create distinct unused IC sites and measure the result.

Line 189 defines one emitted arrow-function body with ten property-read sites. The loop creates four closures from that body. It does not create hundreds of emitted sites. This test also logs only functional output, so it cannot detect a regression to eager 96-byte allocation per emitted site.

Add hundreds of statically distinct unused access sites. Assert the expected unresolved-site or arena-usage measurement. Update changelog.d/9729-lazy-inline-cache-slots.md lines 61-70 to match the fixture.

In `@test-files/test_gap_9708_lazy_inline_cache_slots.ts` at line 189, The test
around the dead closure body must create hundreds of statically distinct unused
inline-cache access sites rather than reusing one ten-property arrow-function
body across four closures. Expand the fixture with distinct emitted
property-read sites, add an assertion for the expected unresolved-site or
arena-usage measurement, and update the corresponding changelog entry to
describe the revised fixture.
