perf(intl): take the view mode's canonicality proof and UTF-8 re-validation off the per-grapheme path by proggeramlug · Pull Request #9893 · PerryTS/perry

proggeramlug · 2026-09-06T15:00:37Z

On settled footprint, with both measurements on the table. In the
levers-only pairing above, settled footprint 120 s after the turn read
460 → 481 MB at 3300 — worse, while peak and CPU improved. In the paired
main5 rotation it is flat (483 → 479 at 3300, 460 → 463 at 400). Two
different baselines, so they are not in conflict, and the flat one is the row
that describes what lands. The open question it came from is separate and
older — I4 settling 45-65 MB above I3 — and it belongs to the tier, not to
these commits: nothing here has process lifetime (the counters are u64s, and
the two realm slots point at RegExp.prototype and its test closure, which
globalThis already holds). If it reappears, the candidate is the cursor:
one per open, alive for the whole loop — the shape that survives a minor and
gets promoted — holding its input string in a traced slot, with its lifetime
decided by the lowering's rooted local rather than by the runtime. It is cheaply
decidable, because the cursor has its own class id
(SEGMENTS_CURSOR_CLASS_ID = 0xFFFF_000E): an old-gen census after idle counts
them directly. Thousands means the cursor's lifetime; ~0 means the retention is
elsewhere.

Two changes to the Intl.Segmenter view mode's hot path, one per commit. Both
were found by symbolising the view arm of the string-width probe
(segview_probe.js, region B) — not by reading the code — and each is motivated
by a number below.

Nothing here changes behaviour: same answers, same declines, same symbols.

Depends on: nothing. These entry points are only called when the compiler's
view tier fires (#9859), so on main today this branch is inert — it changes
the cost of a path nothing yet takes, and can land independently and in any
order relative to the lowering.

Lever 1 — `638b8327f`: answer the canonicality proof in loads, not a walk

js_segments_view_regexp_test asks "is RegExp.prototype.test still the
builtin?" twice per grapheme, because is RegExp at the call site does not
rule out a patched prototype and a view-mode test must not silently bypass user
code. The proof cost more than the match it guarded:

symbol	% of the view arm's thread
`get_field_by_name_object_tail`	3.6
`js_object_get_field_by_name`	3.5
`get_accessor_descriptor`	2.1
`closure_get_dynamic_prop`	1.75
`RandomState::hash_one<&str>`	1.4 — it hashed `"test"` on every call
`js_object_get_prototype_of`	1.3
the proof, together	~13 %
`regexp_test_str_bounded` — the actual matching	0.8

An earlier inclusive read of the same arm put the prototype resolution at
30.6 % of the thread (js_segments_view_regexp_test 40.4 % inclusive, self
0.9 %).

The design, and why not the invalidation flag. The property being tested
belongs to RegExp.prototype, not to the call, so it is recorded once when the
prototype's methods are installed: the prototype pointer, the field index of
its own test, and the canonical closure value. A call then reads that slot by
index and compares — three loads — plus the per-key accessor Bloom bit read
straight off the meta record, and object_static_prototype to establish that
the receiver has not been reparented (that answers from the object's own meta
record, or from an atomic "nothing was ever recorded" latch — no mutex, no chain
walk).

The alternative — a "pristine" flag invalidated from the property-set /
write-barrier path — was considered and rejected: it makes every property
store in the program pay for this one question, and it adds an invalidation
surface whose failure mode is silent (miss a writer, and the view keeps
accepting a patched test forever). The recorded-site design hooks no shared
write path, and everything it can get wrong it gets wrong in the declining
direction:

test replaced or deleted → the slot no longer holds the recorded closure;
the prototype reshaped so the index means a different key → likewise;
defineProperty(proto, "test", { get }), which leaves the old closure in the
data slot → caught by the accessor Bloom bit;
the receiver reparented → caught by object_static_prototype.

Lever 2 — `ea54f0a3d`: validate the cursor's input once, not on every entry

core::str::from_utf8 was the top self symbol at 6.2 % (6.9 % across the
three entry points). Every entry point re-derives the input &str from the
cursor's traced slot per call — that is the §9a rooting contract and it stays —
but each derivation also re-validated the whole input.

open already validates: it refuses an input that is not already a string
primitive and runs from_utf8 on its bytes before allocating the cursor. The
borrow now uses from_utf8_unchecked, with the invariant written where the
unsafe is, in four checkable parts:

F_INPUT is written exactly once, by js_segments_view_open, and never
reassigned — no entry point stores into it;
open refuses a non-string input and validates the bytes before allocating;
a collection MOVES the string but never rewrites its bytes, and the traced
slot is updated to the new address, so the bytes reachable are the bytes
open validated;
the SSO path decodes the same value into the stack buffer.

A debug_assert re-checks it in debug builds, which is where a future second
writer to the slot would be caught.

Measured on the probe

segview_probe.js at 13fbd8c, compiled with I5's compiler af9227369,
--enable-wasm-runtime, min of 5, quiet box (load 1.3-1.5). Checksums are
61000 in all four variants on region B — every arm did the same work.

ns per grapheme:

	spec path	view tier
region B (whole-line), I5 runtime	1,016	1,422
region B, this branch	1,000	578
region A (per-character — cc's shape), I5 runtime	8,462	2,262
region A, this branch	8,492	1,554

Four readings, in the order they matter:

Before these levers the view tier was 40 % SLOWER than the spec path it
replaces on region B (1,422 against 1,016). That is the probe-level twin of
the tier measuring +7 % CPU on the cc bundle — the same fact seen through a
different instrument, which is why the levers were worth building rather than
arguing about.
The levers take the view arm −59 % on B and −31 % on A. That is more
than the 30.6 % + 6.2 % the profile attributed to the two symbols: removing
the work also removed the allocation and cache traffic it was generating, so
the profile's attribution was a floor on the win, not an estimate of it.
The spec arm is unchanged — 1,016 → 1,000 and 8,462 → 8,492. That is the
positive control: these commits touch only the view entry points, and an arm
that does not take them must not move. It did not.
Against node (A 1,323, B 109-141), the view arm with these levers is
1.17x node on the per-character shape — cc's shape — and 4-5x on the
whole-line shape.

One number that is not ours and should not be read as ours: main's own runtime
halved the spec path on region B against the pre-train tree (1,938 → 1,016).
That is main's regex/dispatch work. It also means the "before" the view tier has
to beat moved while this was being built.

Raw data: perrymaster /root/segview4/.

`f076656e5` — a correctness fix in its own right

Found by reading the view path for anything with process lifetime, not by a
failure. The fast path records the prototype address and the canonical test
closure and reads them on every call, and neither was being scanned. An
address held across a collection without being visited is stale the first time
the collector moves the object — the #9539 / #9445 shape. Nothing had failed
because a realm prototype is long-lived and rarely moves, which is luck rather
than a design, and it would have failed as a corrupt read far from here.

The packed word is split so each part is handled correctly:
REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_PTR is a raw address visited with visit_atomic_i64_slot
beside the iterator-prototype towers; REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_TEST_CLOSURE is a
NaN-boxed word visited with visit_atomic_nanbox_u64_slot and stored through
runtime_store_root_atomic_nanbox_u64 with the GC_STORE_AUDIT(ROOT) note the
other mutable roots carry; the field index is not an address and stays an
ordinary atomic. Per-call cost is unchanged, and the identity compare stays an
identity compare across a move because both sides are now maintained by the
collector.

This one is worth landing whatever happens to the two levers.

Sabotages, as tests rather than scratch runs

A patched RegExp.prototype.test after the site is recorded makes the very
next call decline — so the caller materialises and runs the user's function.
The walks counter: 50 accepted calls, plus a second cursor and a second
regex, add zero by-name walks. REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_TEST_WALKS counts the
one-time recording, so it counts realms, not calls.

This property is proven by the unit test and NOT by a runtime line. No
build prints these counters under PERRY_SEGVIEW_DIAG=1: the reporter that
once existed had no caller and is removed here, and a real runtime line needs
an exit-funnel hook that does not exist yet. Anyone looking for [segview] in
a rig log will not find one, and should not read its absence as the fast path
not firing — read the unit test, or the ns/grapheme numbers above.

One of my own assertions failed first and is worth recording: an absolute
walks <= 1 is wrong under a unit harness that resets arenas and builds the
prototype tower several times per process. The delta property above is what
actually distinguishes "per realm" from "per call", and it is what the test now
asserts.

Also removes report_segview_counters, which had no caller. The counters now
have one — the test suite — and a comment says to wire a runtime-side printer
when a rig run needs the numbers, not before.

Measured on the cc bundle

The primary row: main vs the tier with these levers, paired

main5 (33e2856c5) bundle against I5's view bundle running this branch's
runtime. 5 x 3300 + 3 x 400, rotated start, load 0.15-0.5, nothing compiling,
output identical. This is the JOINT figure — the view tier (#9859) and
these levers together, against main with neither — because it is what a user
gets, and because the tier without these levers was a regression.

round (3300)	main5	tier + levers
1	2.72	2.39
2	2.67	2.35
3	2.69	2.33
4	2.72	2.32
5	2.75	2.30
min	2.67	2.30 — −14 %
mean	2.71	2.34
peak RSS MB	614 / 614 / 614 / 606 / 607	578 / 578 / 572 / 576 / 575 — −30…−42 MB, 5/5

400-char: 1.00 → 0.90, 0.99 → 0.98, 0.98 → 0.98; peak 533-544 → 510-519
(−14…−34 MB, 3/3). Settled 120 s after the turn: 483 → 479 at 3300 (idle CPU
2.37 → 2.48), 460 → 463 at 400 — flat.

Against node in the same rotation: 2.30 s is 4.8-5.3x node, from main5's
5.6-6.3x.

Raw: perrymaster /root/rig9831/combM5I7.jsonl, idleM5I7.jsonl.

The levers alone, paired

I5-view's objects relinked with this branch's runtime — runtime-only, so the
bundle is not recompiled and the two arms differ only by these commits.
This isolates the levers from the tier.
5 x 3300 + 2 x 400, quiet box (load 0.3-0.7), turn_cpu_s:

round (3300)	I5-view	I7-view (this branch)
1	3.07	2.34
2	3.05	2.35
3	3.11	2.23
4	3.11	2.34
5	3.10	2.27
min	3.05	2.23 — −27 %
mean	3.09	2.31
peak RSS MB	580-581	571-583 (flat)

400-char: 1.11 → 0.91 and 1.16 → 1.08.

Against main5 from the I5 rotation an hour earlier — same quiet box but NOT
paired, so read it as a bracket rather than a delta: I7-view 2.23-2.35 against
2.65-2.75 (≈ −15 %), peak 571-583 against 608-619 (−35…−45 MB), 400 ≈ flat.

What that means for the tier as a whole. The view tier as merged was CPU-
NEGATIVE on cc — +0.14…+0.36 s at 3300 in 7/7 pairs, about +7 % — because
js_segments_view_regexp_test was 40.1 % of the whole thread inclusive, nearly
all of it the canonicality proof. With these two commits the same tier is about
−15 % against main with the peak-RSS saving kept. The profile said the proof
cost more than the match it guarded; the bundle now says the same thing in
seconds.

One number that did not improve, stated rather than buried: settled
footprint 120 s after the turn went 460 → 481 MB at 3300, even though idle
CPU fell 3.10 → 2.58 s and peak RSS is flat-to-better. Something the view path
allocates survives the turn and the idle reclaimer. Nothing in these two commits
has process lifetime — the counters are u64s, and the two realm slots point at
RegExp.prototype and its test closure, which globalThis already holds — so
the candidate is the cursor: one per open, alive for the whole loop (the
shape that survives a minor and gets promoted), holding its input string in a
traced slot. Its lifetime is decided by the lowering's rooted local, not by the
runtime. It is cheaply decidable: the cursor has its own class id
(SEGMENTS_CURSOR_CLASS_ID = 0xFFFF_000E), so an old-gen census after idle can
count them directly — thousands means the cursor's lifetime, ~0 means the
retention is elsewhere. Not fixed here, not claimed as fixed.

Gates

Run on this branch:

cargo test -p perry-runtime --release --lib -- --test-threads=1 — 3,239
passed, 0 failed (10 view tests, including the zero-allocation falsifier:
200 next + code_point_at steps move arena_in_use_bytes by zero with the
minor-cycle count pinned).

Run on the immediately preceding tree carrying identical gating, and being
re-run on this SHA before this leaves draft:

cargo build --release -p perry with default features — the app path,
where regex-engine is OFF. This is the gate whose absence let feat(intl): Segments view mode — answer a grapheme loop without materialising a record or a substring #9870's
orphaned-attribute bug through, and it must be its own cargo invocation:
building it together with the -static crates unifies the feature back on and
hides exactly this class of failure.
nm -g libperry_runtime.a | grep -c ' T js_regexp_test' = 1 from the
-static build.

Not run here, queued: the probe on region B before/after with the rebased
compiler, and the relinked cc bundle against this runtime (runtime-only, so no
recompile).

Draft until those land.

… walk `js_segments_view_regexp_test` asks "is `RegExp.prototype.test` still the builtin?" twice per grapheme, and the proof cost more than the match it guards. Symbolised on the view arm of the string-width probe, the proof was ~13 % of the thread — `get_field_by_name_object_tail` 3.6, `js_object_get_field_by_name` 3.5, `get_accessor_descriptor` 2.1, `closure_get_dynamic_prop` 1.75, `RandomState::hash_one<&str>` 1.4 (it hashed the key string on every call), `js_object_get_prototype_of` 1.3 — against 0.8 % for `regexp_test_str_bounded`, the actual matching. The property belongs to `RegExp.prototype`, not to the call, so it is recorded once when the prototype's methods are installed: the prototype pointer, the FIELD INDEX of its own `test`, and the canonical closure value. A call reads that slot by index and compares — three loads — plus the per-key accessor Bloom bit off the meta record. Everything it can get wrong, it gets wrong in the declining direction: a replaced or deleted `test` no longer matches the recorded closure; a reshaped prototype makes the index hold something else, which also does not match; `defineProperty(proto,"test",{get})` leaves the data slot alone and is caught by the accessor bit; a reparented receiver is caught by `object_static_prototype`, which answers from the object's own meta record or an atomic "nothing was ever recorded" latch — no mutex, no chain walk. Deliberately NOT a flag invalidated from the property-set path: that design makes every property store in the program pay for this one question and adds an invalidation surface that fails silently. This one hooks no shared write path. `REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_TEST_WALKS` counts by-name walks. The fast path does none, so it counts realms rather than calls, and the tests pin the property that matters: 50 accepted calls, plus a second cursor and a second regex, add ZERO walks; and patching `RegExp.prototype.test` after the site is recorded makes the very next call decline, so the caller materialises and runs the user's function. Also removes `report_segview_counters`, which had no caller. The counters now have one — the test suite — and a comment says to wire a runtime-side printer when a rig run needs the numbers, not before. `cargo test -p perry-runtime --release --lib -- --test-threads=1`: 3,239 passed, 0 failed.

Every view entry point re-derives the input `&str` from the cursor's traced slot per call — that is the §9a rooting contract and it stays — but each derivation also re-ran `std::str::from_utf8` over the WHOLE input. On the symbolised view arm of the string-width probe that was the top self symbol at 6.2 %. `open` already validates: it refuses an input that is not already a string primitive and runs `from_utf8` on its bytes before allocating the cursor. So the per-call validation re-establishes something the slot's only writer guaranteed. The borrow now uses `from_utf8_unchecked`, with the invariant written out where the `unsafe` is, in four checkable parts: `F_INPUT` is written exactly once, by `open`, and never reassigned; `open` validated that value; a collection MOVES the string but never rewrites its bytes, and the traced slot is updated to the new address; the SSO path decodes the same value into the stack buffer. A `debug_assert` re-checks it in debug builds, which is where a future second writer to the slot would be caught. `cargo test -p perry-runtime --release --lib -- --test-threads=1`: 3,239 passed, 0 failed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime groups canonical RegExp.prototype.test state per realm, scans its GC roots, and validates mutations. Segment views now use numeric cursor fields, reuse validated UTF-8 input, and add diagnostic tests.

Changes

Runtime validation and GC integration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Canonical RegExp test-site state `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/regex_proto_thunks.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/prototype_chain.rs`	Installation records the prototype, closure, and field index in one per-realm record. Canonicality checks use the recorded state and indexed field metadata.
Canonical RegExp GC root scanning `crates/perry-runtime/src/object/mod.rs`, `scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json`	Object root scanning delegates to the canonical test-site scanner. The GC holder census records the diagnostic walk counter separately from the stored roots.
Segment cursor and regex validation `crates/perry-runtime/src/intl/segments_view.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/regex.rs`	Segment entry points access position fields through `CursorFields`. Validated UTF-8 input is reused, and bounded regex matching no longer repeats pointer validation.
Runtime regression coverage `crates/perry-runtime/src/intl/segments_view.rs`	Tests verify numeric cursor slots, stable canonicality walks, decline behavior after RegExp mutation, and single pointer validation per call.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eee43

The Segmenter optimization can improve view-mode performance, but unresolved GC-root representation and test-rooting issues could cause invalid references during garbage collection. These should be corrected before merge.

The canonicality fast path records the prototype address and the canonical `test` closure and reads them on every call — and neither was scanned. An address held across a collection without being visited is stale the first time the collector moves the object, which is the PerryTS#9539 / PerryTS#9445 shape and exactly what this campaign keeps finding. Nothing had failed yet because a realm prototype is long-lived and rarely moves; that is luck, not a design. The packed `(index << 48) | ptr` word is split so each part can be handled correctly: * `REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_PTR` — a raw address, visited by `scan_object_cache_roots_mut` with `visit_atomic_i64_slot` beside the iterator-prototype towers, so a move rewrites it; * `REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_TEST_CLOSURE` — a NaN-boxed word, visited with `visit_atomic_nanbox_u64_slot` and stored through `runtime_store_root_atomic_nanbox_u64` with the GC_STORE_AUDIT(ROOT) note the other mutable roots carry, so the pointer inside it is rewritten too; * the field index is not an address and stays an ordinary atomic. The per-call cost is unchanged — three loads and the accessor Bloom bit — and the identity compare stays an identity compare across a move, because both sides are now maintained by the collector. `cargo test -p perry-runtime --release --lib -- --test-threads=1`: 3,239 passed, 0 failed.

Store prototype as a NaN-boxed root.

Line 516 raw-bitcasts proto_obj into the thread-local cache. Store proto_value.to_bits() in an AtomicU64, unbox it on read, and scan it with visit_atomic_nanbox_u64_slot.

As per coding guidelines: “Captured string/pointer values must be NaN-boxed before storing, not raw bitcast.”

In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/object/regex_proto_thunks.rs` at line 516, Update the prototype cache around proto_obj to store the NaN-boxed proto_value bits via AtomicU64 rather than raw-bitcasting the object pointer; unbox the value when reading and visit the atomic slot with visit_atomic_nanbox_u64_slot during scanning.

…he new roots Two files went over 2000 lines: - regex.rs -> regex/compile_cache.rs takes the program-compilation and cache group (size limit, std/fancy builders, eviction, the checked compile-and-cache entry). `js_regexp_new_impl` was the obvious bigger extraction and is deliberately NOT the one taken: it carries the two #7341 raw-handle debt sites, and raw_handle_debt.py's --no-raise-vs arm refuses a ceiling on a file absent at the merge base, so moving it would have forced either surgery on the allocation path two perf PRs are tuning, or a with_const_ptr(|p| p) that games the ratchet without scoping anything. - regex/tests.rs -> regex/tests_part2.rs, split at a test boundary. All 70 #[test] items are accounted for across the two files, and part2 carries the same cfg(all(test, feature)) gate as its sibling. #9893's new roots are classified: REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_PTR_SLOT and REGEXP_PROTOTYPE_TEST_CLOSURE_SLOT are covered_elsewhere, naming scan_object_cache_roots_mut, which really does visit them (as an i64 slot and a nanbox word respectively) and is registered via reg_scanner!. The test index and the walk counter are not_a_gc_pointer. NEVER_MATCH moved with the compile-cache group, so its inventory entry is retargeted. #9906's new test thread_local is recorded cold — it is a test file, and the other 23 there are recorded the same way.
