jsc-layout-tests.yaml/js/script-tests/function-apply-aliased.js.layout-no-cjit is failing in cStack

[Filip Pizlo]

Probably a varargs issue.

[Filip Pizlo]

It looks like this fails even in the LLInt.  Still investigating...

[Filip Pizlo]

This looks like an exception throwing, unwinding, and stack overflow bug.

All engines crash on the tests for stack overflow, where you apply with a ridiculous argument count.

[Mark Lam]

Here's a reduced test case that reproduces this issue (or likely the root cause of this issue):

function foo() {
    try {
        foo();
    } catch (e) {
        throw e;
    }
}
foo();

When we do a stack check in a function prologue, the activation object in the frame hasn't been set yet. The test failures came from the stack unwinding code trying to tear off the frame to a non-existant activation object. Since we haven't entered the function yet and the frame is technically not fully "pushed" yet, we can throw i.e. start the unwinding from the caller frame instead. This fixes the issue.

Landed in r161084 on the jsCStack branch: <http://trac.webkit.org/r161084>.

With the span size ASSERT disabled in ConservativeRoots.cpp, function-apply-aliased.js.layout-no-cjit (and the other instances of function-apply-aliased.js) fail after timing out:

That is because the JSStack size used to be 512K.  Now it is is 63M.  I’m now working on adding a VM option to cap the C stack size, and we’ll cap the stack size to 4M for jsc and tests.  With that, the tests won’t time out.

OK - we need to have an *actual* story for this.  We can't have a WebKit user getting a spin every time that some program overflows stack.

Maybe you should have limits on how much stack JS is allowed to use?  As we talked previously, you'll have to have a story for how this will work in case of VM reentry.

The work to use a separate limit for the JS stack is at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126320.
