fix(gc): re-baseline the whole-arena trigger after a malloc-pressure minor (#9840) by proggeramlug · Pull Request #9844 · PerryTS/perry

proggeramlug · 2026-09-06T05:55:22Z

Fixes #9840. Based on #9838's head 644b9d362 (main + fix/9831-arena-trigger-backoff), not on plain main — the two changes meet at the post-collection moment and this one is written against that landing.

The defect

GC_NEXT_TRIGGER_BYTES's own doc says it is "bumped after each gc_collect_inner based on collection effectiveness". It was not:

finisher	re-baselines arena trigger	re-baselines malloc trigger
`gc_finish_arena_trigger_collection`	yes	only if the collection swept malloc
`gc_finish_malloc_trigger_collection`	no	yes

So the whole-arena threshold was measured from the last arena-kind collection rather than from the last collection. The asymmetry predates the budgeted split (9d3bd2e3b's pre-split gc_check_trigger had the same two branches) and is justified in one direction only: an arena minor may legitimately skip the malloc sweep, so it must not move the malloc trigger — unchanged here, and still pinned by test_gc_check_trigger_copied_minor_without_malloc_sweep_preserves_malloc_trigger. A MallocCount minor has no such exemption: it swept the arena.

take_promoted_young_capacity_credit's doc names the invariant that was broken — the credit is "read exactly once, by the post-collection trigger rebaseline", which presumes every collection performs one.

What it costs, measured

Compiled claude-code TUI, PERRY_GC_DIAG=1, per firing, four 3300-character captures across two independently built binaries. The streaming turn runs a strict 6:1 pattern: six MallocCount minors (12.6–14.4 MB nursery, 22 % survival) each promote ~3.2 MB, the arena total crosses the stale threshold inside the sixth minor's promotion, and at the very next safepoint the ArenaBytes arm fires on a nursery of 856 bytes — promoted_bytes=216 freed_bytes=640, every time.

	3300-char	400-char
such firings per turn	8 of ~60 collections	0
nursery at the firing	856 B	—
bytes freed	640	—
`MallocCount` firings in the capture	48 / 48 / 51 / 62	0

Length is part of the claim. The shape needs a run of promoting MallocCount minors; the 400-character capture has none at all, so this change is predicted flat at 400 on every counter, with or without the in-flight change moving RegExpHeaders (the arm's only measured input on this program: 199,873 of 199,926 malloc-backed GC allocations) to the nursery.

The change

gc_rebaseline_arena_trigger_after_collection is factored out of the arena finisher and called from both nursery finishers, with pre_in_use threaded to all three paths that reach one (alloc-point direct, moving safepoint, budgeted). The adaptive step sees the same pct_freed the same nursery would have shown the arena arm.

Unit, deliberately. The base stays arena_total_bytes() — committed bytes — because that is what next_arena_trigger_base() is compared against. It is neither of the two occupancy readings published at note_collection_finished_arena_occupancy (a live census, and #9831's bump-offset guard base). Three post-collection quantities now meet near one moment, so that funnel's doc comment tabulates all three with their units and their readers, and says why the trigger is not written there (it needs the productivity score and the once-consumed promotion credit, and it must skip fulls).

Scope. OldReclaim and the idle reclaim stay out: after a full that released blocks the un-moved trigger sits further above the new total, the conservative direction, and a full's cadence belongs to the old-generation band. A nursery-trigger cycle that arena_growth_full_escalation_due() escalated to a full still finishes here — exactly as the arena arm's escalated fulls already did.

The one coupling, found and then measured

GC_STEP_BYTES had exactly one production writer — the arena finisher — and #9831 made it an input to the tiny-parse pressure guard's headroom. Scoring a MallocCount minor's productivity therefore moves that guard. That is the same symmetry rather than a side effect (the step is documented as "collection effectiveness", not "arena-kind collection effectiveness"), but the direction is a measurement, not an argument. Estimated over 209 MallocCount firings in the same four captures (freed_bytes from each firing's own [gc-copy-minor] line over the nearest [gc-step]'s post-collection in-use — an adjacent-diagnostic estimate, which is precisely why the new line carries pct=):

`pct_freed` band	firings	step
`< 10 %`	194 / 209	double
`10–24 %`	10	keep
`25–84 %`	5	halve
`> 84 %`	0	double

Median 4–5 %. 93 % take the "double" band, so on this program the coupling pushes the step up and makes #9831's guard more conservative — it reinforces #9838 rather than eroding it.

Contract impact: none

The arm's dueness predicate is byte-identical; when it is due it fires the same collection. The 26 tests that the arm's other candidate changes break all pass unmodified — they suppress the malloc trigger and never run a MallocCount minor.

Tests, and the sabotage proof that lives in CI

debt_pacer::direct_malloc_minor_also_rebaselines_the_whole_arena_trigger — the direct synchronous arm.
copying::survival_and_malloc::test_budgeted_malloc_minor_rebaselines_the_whole_arena_trigger — the budgeted arm, which is the one cc takes.
debt_pacer::direct_malloc_minor_arena_rebaseline_kill_switch_restores_the_stale_threshold — PERRY_GC_ARENA_REBASELINE_ALL=0.

Each of the first two asserts in two halves: the trigger is re-baselined above the set the collection left behind, and 2 MB of subsequent old-generation growth does not then fire a whole-arena minor on the nursery that collection just emptied. A stale threshold is only a defect because something crosses it, so the second half is the one that matters.

The third is both the knob's required OFF-state arm (CLAUDE.md's GC knob kill-policy is binding) and the sabotage proof for the other two — the OFF branch is the deleted call, so the proof runs in CI instead of being performed by hand and then lost. It asserts the defect returns: the trigger is left exactly at its pre-collection value, and the growth fires the collection.

The knob is reached from tests through a #[cfg(test)] seam with a restore-on-drop guard (ArenaRebaselineAllTestGuard), matching pacing_arena_in_use_bytes — the env read is cached, and these tests share one process.

Diagnostics

PERRY_GC_DIAG=1 gains [gc-arena-rebaseline] arm={arena,malloc} next_trigger= total= headroom= pct= step=→. Field names are deliberately disjoint from the reclaim keys scripts/gc_repsel_matrix.sh sums (sweep_freed/block_reclaim/freed_bytes/dead_bytes), and [gc-step] stays ArenaBytes-only for the same reason: a change that reclaims nothing new must not add an addend to the ratchet's reclaim total.

Measured on a quiet host (perrymaster, load 0.5–0.9), one binary per arm, 7 rounds at 3300 and 5 at 400

Arms, all on base 644b9d362 (main d36a1af0c + #9838): A = base, A+B = base + this PR, R = base + the regex PRs + the RegExpHeader→nursery move, C = R + this PR.

The mechanism row

3300-char, A vs A+B	A	A+B
`ArenaBytes` firings on a sub-4 KB nursery	11 of 18	0 of 6
`ArenaBytes` minors	18	6
`[gc-step]` lines at ≤ 1 % yield	11	0
`arm=malloc` re-baselines (this PR's added call)	—	107
`MallocCount` firings	105	105
`MallocCount` freed	1116.6 MB	1131.9 MB (+1.4 %)
promoted	328.8 MB	333.9 MB

The pre-registered falsifier was "sub-4 KB ArenaBytes firings 7–8 → 0, MallocCount count and total freed unchanged". Measured 11 → 0 with MallocCount unchanged at 105 and its reclaim up 1.4 %. The removed collections are removed, not deferred.

[gc-tiny-parse] requests go 2 → 11, all at headroom 16 MB / step 32–64 MB: with the trigger refreshed, #9838's guard now makes the requests that the sub-4 KB firings used to pre-empt, and they coalesce into the 6 remaining minors.

CPU — two different claims, both real, stated separately

Per-pair deltas at 3300: −0.53 −0.29 −4.89 −0.30 −0.35 −4.86 s.

Within A's fast mode (13.7 s): −2.1 % to −3.9 %. This is the number the mechanism predicts — eight per-collection fixed costs removed — and it is the claim this PR makes.
On means: 15.18 → 13.32 s, −12 %. This is a different claim: A+B is unimodal (13.21–13.37 s in 7 of 7) while A hit an 18.2 s slow mode in 2 of 6 rounds. The −12 % is A's slow mode disappearing, not the per-collection saving. Do not add the two together.

Footprint: post-turn RSS +3…+15 MB (inside A's own spread), post-30 s-idle mean 776 → 651 MB, peak 1113 → 1121 MB.

400-char: flat, as predicted (+0.01 −0.01 +0.02 0.00 +0.06 s).

Where this change does and does not execute — read before measuring it anywhere

At 400 characters it is inert, on any arm: that turn runs zero MallocCount minors, so gc_finish_malloc_trigger_collection is never called and the added line never executes. GC_STEP_BYTES is scored exactly as before.
On R it is inert, for the same reason: with RegExpHeaders in the nursery MallocCount goes to 0. C ≡ R to coalescing noise — minors 24/0 both, fulls 7/7, steps 28/28, arm=malloc 0 in C. That was registered as a prediction before the run and it held.

So this is a defect fix whose cc-visible effect is a function of what else is in the binary. Full 3300 means for context: A 15.18 (bimodal) | A+B 13.32 | R 10.48 | C 10.52.

The `GC_STEP_BYTES` coupling, measured

100 of the 107 malloc-arm re-baselines land in the <10 % → double band, 95 of them leaving the step at its 1024 MB maximum. B pushes the step up and #9838's tiny-parse headroom with it; every one of the guard's 11 requests dates from the early productive phase. B reinforces #9838 rather than eroding it — which is what the pre-run estimate over 209 firings said, now confirmed on the quiet host.

Issue PerryTS#9831 measured the ArenaBytes arm firing 51 times in one 66-delta claude-code reply, each collection freeing a median 131 KB, while the adaptive step sat saturated at 1 GiB. The issue located the discarded backoff in the arm's own re-arm arithmetic; correcting that (the issue's refuted branch) bought -10.8 % CPU for +22 % settled footprint and was rightly rejected. The arm's re-arm is not what re-fires it. Between two consecutive firings the arena grows a few hundred KB, against a trigger armed 16 MB (and below the ceiling, up to 128 MB) above the post-collection total. What pulls the trigger back down is the tiny-parse pressure guard: after every `JSON.parse` that grew the arena by <= 1 MB, `gc_bump_malloc_trigger` (and `gc_schedule_parse_boundary_collection_ if_pressure`, and the boundary collector they arm) tests the absolute `arena_in_use_bytes() >= 48 MB` and, if so, sets the trigger to "now". That threshold is a quantity no collection can lower below the live set, so on a program whose live set never drops under it every small parse -- one per SSE delta -- forced a minor at the next safepoint. The step those minors doubled was consulted by nothing. The guard now also requires the arena to have grown, since the last collection of any kind ended, by a headroom priced from the step: the step rescaled so that its power-on value (128 MB, the ceiling) buys the 16 MB floor, and each doubling the arm's ceiling clamp discards buys the guard one more doubling, bounded by the same ceiling. A productive collection halves the step and the guard keeps the cadence it always had; an unproductive one earns it room. The boundary collector re-prices a pending request so a collection that already satisfied it is not followed by a second one. Measured on the compiled claude-code TUI (cli_2.1.112.js, Linux, same perry binary, runtime-only A/B, 7 interleaved rounds, 3300-char streamed reply, chunk 50): turn CPU base 30.2-41.5 s (mean 35.1) fix 27.8-29.2 s (mean 28.6) post-turn RSS base 754-1057 MB (mean 803) fix 733-855 MB (mean 786) post-idle RSS base 527-1073 MB (mean 736) fix 517-843 MB (mean 722) peak RSS 1964-2062 MB both arms The fix wins CPU in every pair (-8 % to -30 %); footprint is flat within the base's own spread. The base arm is bimodal in both, which is what an absolute in-use threshold does. PERRY_GC_DIAG on one reply: copying minors 104 -> 84 (ArenaBytes 41 -> 13), old-gen fulls 19 -> 7, and the guard forced exactly one collection, after a genuine 16 MB of growth (`[gc-tiny-parse]` is the new witness line). test_memory_json_churn -- the guard's motivating shape -- is byte-identical in output and RSS in all four GC modes; 48/48 test_gap_gc_* and 8/8 test_gap_json_* pass. The arm's own arithmetic is left as it was and now says why. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015kqVkH6rHzfvXskGAj3tRv

…minor (PerryTS#9840) `GC_NEXT_TRIGGER_BYTES` is documented as "bumped after each `gc_collect_inner` based on collection effectiveness". It was not. `gc_finish_arena_trigger_collection` re-baselined it; the finisher for the SAME nursery collection with the malloc sweep added, `gc_finish_malloc_trigger_collection`, did not. So the whole-arena threshold was measured from the last ARENA-KIND collection rather than from the last collection, and a run of `MallocCount` minors could walk the arena total across a threshold nothing had refreshed. The asymmetry predates the budgeted split (9d3bd2e's pre-split `gc_check_trigger` had the same two branches). It is justified in ONE direction only -- an arena minor may legitimately skip the malloc sweep, so it must not move the malloc trigger -- and that direction is unchanged and still pinned by `test_gc_check_trigger_copied_minor_without_malloc_sweep_preserves_malloc_trigger`. A `MallocCount` minor has no such exemption: it swept the arena. The threshold re-baseline is factored out of `gc_finish_arena_trigger_collection` into `gc_rebaseline_arena_trigger_after_collection` and called from both nursery finishers, with `pre_in_use` captured for `MallocCount` cycles on all three paths that reach one (alloc-point direct, moving safepoint, budgeted). The base stays `arena_total_bytes()` -- COMMITTED bytes -- because that is what `next_arena_trigger_base()` is compared against. It is deliberately neither of the two occupancy readings PerryTS#9831 publishes at `note_collection_finished_arena_occupancy`, whose doc comment now tabulates all three quantities and their units, since two of them share that funnel and a re-baseline from a bump-offset or live-census base would arm this trigger below the arena's own total. `OldReclaim` and the idle reclaim stay out: after a full that released blocks the un-moved trigger sits FURTHER above the new total, which is the conservative direction, and a full's cadence belongs to the old-generation band. A nursery-trigger cycle that `arena_growth_full_escalation_ due()` escalated to a full still finishes here, exactly as the arena arm's escalated fulls already did. Measured on the compiled claude-code TUI (PERRY_GC_DIAG=1, per firing, four 3300-character captures across two independently built binaries): the streaming turn ran a strict 6:1 pattern -- six `MallocCount` minors promoting ~3.2 MB each crossed the stale threshold inside the sixth minor, and at the very next safepoint the `ArenaBytes` arm fired on a nursery of 856 bytes (`promoted_bytes=216 freed_bytes=640`), paying the whole per-collection fixed cost to free 640 bytes. Eight of ~60 collections per 3300-character turn. Length is part of every figure: the shape needs a run of promoting `MallocCount` minors, and the 400-character capture has 48-62 fewer of them than the 3300-character ones -- it has ZERO. So this change is predicted flat at 400 on every counter, and that holds with or without the in-flight change moving `RegExpHeader`s (the arm's only measured input on this program) to the nursery. One coupling is stated because it touches a fix that landed hours earlier: `GC_STEP_BYTES` had exactly one production writer -- the arena finisher -- and PerryTS#9831 made it an INPUT to the tiny-parse pressure guard's headroom, so scoring a `MallocCount` minor's productivity moves that guard too. That is the same symmetry rather than a side effect (the step is documented as "collection effectiveness", not "arena-kind collection effectiveness"). Estimated over 209 `MallocCount` firings in the same captures, `pct_freed` has a median of 4-5 % and lands <10 % in 194 cases, 10-24 % in 10, 25-84 % in 5 and >84 % in none: 93 % take the "<10 % -> double" band and push the step UP, so on this program the coupling makes PerryTS#9831's guard MORE conservative, not less. The arm's dueness predicate is byte-identical, so when it is due it fires the same collection. `PERRY_GC_ARENA_REBASELINE_ALL=0` restores the old asymmetry; its OFF state is asserted in CI as the GC knob kill-policy requires, by a test that is simultaneously the sabotage proof for the two ON-state tests -- the OFF branch IS the deleted call, so the proof runs in CI instead of being performed by hand and lost. PERRY_GC_DIAG=1 gains `[gc-arena-rebaseline] arm=... next_trigger=... total=... headroom=... pct=... step=...`, whose field names are disjoint from the reclaim keys `scripts/gc_repsel_matrix.sh` sums; `[gc-step]` stays ArenaBytes-only for that same reason, so the ratchet's reclaim total does not gain an addend from a change that reclaims nothing new. Tests: `direct_malloc_minor_also_rebaselines_the_whole_arena_trigger` (direct synchronous arm), `test_budgeted_malloc_minor_rebaselines_the_whole_arena_trigger` (budgeted arm, the one cc takes), and `direct_malloc_minor_arena_rebaseline_kill_switch_restores_the_stale_threshold` (the OFF state, and the sabotage proof).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The garbage collector now prices tiny-parse pressure from adaptive collection steps and post-collection arena growth. Malloc-count minor collections also rebaseline the whole-arena trigger. Diagnostics, kill-switch coverage, regression tests, and changelog entries document both changes.

Changes

Tiny-parse pressure pricing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Adaptive pressure policy and state `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/policy.rs`, `scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json`	The tiny-parse guard now calculates adaptive headroom, tracks post-collection arena usage, selects the active GC trigger, and emits diagnostic data.
Parse-boundary integration and validation `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/policy.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/mod.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/tiny_parse_pressure.rs`, `changelog.d/9838-tiny-parse-pressure-pricing.md`	Parse-boundary checks use the priced pressure predicate and re-price pending collections. Tests cover thresholds, adaptive scaling, repeated-collection suppression, and post-collection rebasing.

Arena trigger rebaseline

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared arena-trigger rebaseline `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/policy.rs`	Arena and malloc-count collection finishers use shared trigger rebaselining. Malloc-count paths pass pre-collection arena usage and emit arm-specific diagnostics.
Malloc-count validation and compatibility control `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/copying/survival_and_malloc.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/debt_pacer.rs`, `changelog.d/9840-arena-trigger-rebaseline-symmetry.md`	Tests verify direct and budgeted malloc-count rebaselining, later growth behavior, and the disabled kill-switch state. The changelog records the trigger contract and diagnostics.

Uh oh!

The defect

What it costs, measured

The change

The one coupling, found and then measured

Contract impact: none

Tests, and the sabotage proof that lives in CI

Diagnostics

Measured on a quiet host (perrymaster, load 0.5–0.9), one binary per arm, 7 rounds at 3300 and 5 at 400

The mechanism row

CPU — two different claims, both real, stated separately

Where this change does and does not execute — read before measuring it anywhere

The GC_STEP_BYTES coupling, measured
