Bug 195928 – Compress CodeOrigin into a single word in the common case

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Robin Morisset]

When discussing with Phil the padding in NodeOrigin he suggested compressing CodeOrigin by putting the bytecodeIndex in the high bits of the InlineCallFrame* in the common case where they are not unreasonable big.

I haven’t looked at the patch but I could guess we could probably just encode the CodeOrigin with two 32 bit words StructureID style. Not sure how much it matters too much one way or the other though.

I had two errors:
- Missing move/copy assignment operators and constructors to make sure that each pointer to out-of-line storage is unique
- The deletedMarker() returned a pointer with its lowest bit set, naturally causing confusion. A pointer of 0x10 (what I currently use) should work fines I believe that the entire first page of memory is left unused.

I just fixed a missing #ifdef, and moved OutOfLineCodeOrigin.

Don't you mean 48?

Can we make the value "1" here some constant?

Or perhaps have a getter saying if we're out of line?

Then this could be:

if (isOutOfLine()) delete outOfLineCodeOrigin()

This seems wrong. It doesn't line up with s_freeBitsAtTop

style nit: bitwise_cast instead of reinterpret_cast here and elsewhere

> Source/JavaScriptCore/bytecode/CodeOrigin.h:245
> +        ASSERT(!(encodedBytecodeIndex & reinterpret_cast<uintptr_t>(inlineCallFrame)));

can we also assert this in a stronger way with some mask for the max bytecode index bits?

You really want:
... || (CPU(ARM64) && ADDRESS(64))

Not just arm64

> Source/JavaScriptCore/bytecode/CodeOrigin.h:272
> +#if CPU(X86_64) || CPU(ARM64)

instead of using this everywhere, can we just define some bit that stands for this type of memory model?

I actually meant 45 because we can use the bottom 3 bits for alignment reasons. I clarified my comment.

Done, and it looks a lot better. Thanks for the suggestion.

I added an assert in the constructor, that the InlineCallFrame* fit within the mask.

Done, added HAS_FREE_BITS_AT_TOP_OF_POINTERS (the name is long, but I could not think of a shorter name that still fits).

I think you can just use CPU(ADDRESS64) since that’s only ever true on 64-but platforms.

I would just use CPU(ADDRESS64).

nit: Not sure we really need this comment given above comment sets the stage. Perhaps just drop assignment operators from above.

Or you could remove the comments entirely. It's pretty self evident from reading the code what's going on.

initializer list?

Not sure this comment is really adding much since we use CodeOrigin outside of the compiler as well. So we'd need to never generate a CodeBlock w/ >= 2^28 instructions.

I will follow Keith's advice and replace it by CPU(ADDRESS64)

I will remove the comments. I added them when this code was much less readable.

I missed a word, it is called "member initializer list" (the part after ':' in a constructor). Will fix the comment.

I had not realized that we use CodeOrigin outside the compiler. I will remove the comment.

I found the following comment in DFGNode.h:
// NB. This class must have a trivial destructor.
Since DFG::Node contains a NodeOrigin that contains two CodeOrigin that get a non-trivial destructor in this patch, I won't land this until I've understood why this comment exists.

This broke build on platforms different from x86_64 and arm64 due to:

#if CPU(X86_64) && CPU(ADDRESS64)
    static constexpr unsigned s_freeBitsAtTop = 16;
    static constexpr uintptr_t s_maskCompositeValueForPointer = 0x0000fffffffffff8;
#elif CPU(ARM64) && CPU(ADDRESS64)
    static constexpr unsigned s_freeBitsAtTop = 28;
    static constexpr uintptr_t s_maskCompositeValueForPointer = 0x0000000ffffffff8;
#endif

shouldn't be there some generic value for other arches (ppc64, ppc64le, s390x here)?

Tomas, those aren't officially supported platforms.  One solution would be to not use the compression scheme if your platform isn't one of the officially supported ones.  If you take a look at this patch, you should see that it's not too hard to factor that out.  I suggest introducing a USE_COMPRESSED_CODE_ORIGIN at the top of CodeOrigin.h and checking for USE(COMPRESSED_CODE_ORIGIN) instead of CPU(ADDRESS64) at the places that uses the compressed scheme.  Basically, for the !USE(COMPRESSED_CODE_ORIGIN) case, make it work like the current !CPU(ADDRESS64) case.

Feel free to create a new bug and upload a patch to fix this.

Thank you Mark, for hints! I didn't know whether the is some complexity hidden, but looks like it isn't, so I opened bug 196072 for that.
