Merge train 190: GC full-collection throughput and promoted cohorts (v0.5.1568) by proggeramlug · Pull Request #10267 · PerryTS/perry

proggeramlug · 2026-09-14T13:06:09Z

Merge #10220 and #10241 as v0.5.1568 on main ad8f2638f60bbbbb2565560d7f5a55ccad3a739f.

Full collections use per-block object-start bitmaps, batch old-page accounting, and skip remembered-set and hole-list work only when the census proves it unnecessary. Whole-block census/sweep paths retain fallbacks for weak edges, pinned or forwarded objects, age changes, unknown layouts and changed extents. A full at an in-place promoting minor can adopt that minor's census and feed survival only when the complete cohort and remembered-parent view agree.

The train preserves all 38 source commits. Holders-registry conflicts were merged structurally, preserving all entries and audit notes and recomputing pins from the merged source. A train test fix preserves the deliberately planted debug assertion's panic payload and requires that precise panic in debug; release retains the incorrect-accounting witness. The production assertion remains intact.

Validation on 73c7aaa9ed00ac56a99e3de3d4cc96828c596269, using the approved fast protocol:

Formatting, file-size, holders inventory and raw-handle ratchet pass. Recorded debt remains 906 with 104 unchanged module ceilings.
Full lint: 80/83 pass; the only failures are main's public benchmark freshness, host all-target dead-code warnings and API-doc drift. Generated docs restored afterward.
Source CI: gc: make a synchronous full cheaper per live object (#10182) [pacing retry does not meet acceptance] #10220 run34805641687 and gc: a pacing full at about the cost of its live mark; promoted-cohort fulls (#10182) [land after #10249] #10241 exact-head workflow_dispatch run34823813222 have the same three full-gap failures and matching output as main; GC-stress passes. Core tests only have main's native-stack failure plus gc: a pacing full at about the cost of its live mark; promoted-cohort fulls (#10182) [land after #10249] #10241's debug sabotage expectation, corrected in this train. All source production patches are preserved; range-diff differences are confined to the holders registry.
Debug runtime: 3,913 passed, four ignored. The corrected sabotage test passes by requiring its precise planted panic; cohort adoption, survival feeding, dead-parent guards and their sabotage controls pass.
Release static build passes. Release runtime: 3,911 passed, four ignored; its only failure is main’s release-only heap_generation::a_free_or_move_outside_every_scope_is_caught_in_debug_builds.
Stdlib: 139 passed. GC instrumentation passes, including live copying/quarantine/verifier arms and sabotage controls. Allocation-point, regexp-GC and inlined-GC gap suites pass.
JSON gap suite: 69 pass, one tracked lazy-array descriptor mismatch (JSON.parse lazy array: Object.defineProperty index accessor is bypassed by reads #10097), and two unconditional background-server skips (request.json() returns undefined in Fastify POST handlers — silent 400 across all POST endpoints #1240/#1240 follow-up: request.json() result is DCE'd when only used in if(!body) — needs to be 'observed' (e.g. typeof) to survive #1293). Exact mismatch output and skip results match landed train188’s local run; harness, snapshot and fixtures are unchanged from current main. The snapshot checker returns 1 for these same pre-existing skips. No new gap failure.
Matched five-package performance comparison against train189’s exact landed tree is complete: 14 GC workloads and 52 JSON cases, three paired samples each. All outputs match pinned Node 26.5.1 (104/104 JSON arm/oracle checks); source, artifact and binary hashes are retained. CPU and peak RSS changes are disclosed below. Shared-host timing noise remains; large-JSON instruction increases independently confirm the principal compute tradeoff.

Owner approved the documented CPU/RSS tradeoffs on 2026-09-14 after clarification of the actual 7.12 MB and 17.77 MB fixture sizes: “okay, that's acceptable for now”.

The material large-JSON tradeoff is 22.10–53.27% more CPU for 24.03–29.37% less peak RSS on 8 MB scan / 20 MB parse, sparse and scan; 20 MB roundtrip is +15.87% CPU / −10.07% RSS. Instructions rise 25.97–27.69% on those parse/scan/sparse cases. Additional measured increases include tiny-object parse +33.40% CPU / +6.34% instructions, map/set +7.47% CPU, and 1 MB array roundtrip +2.08% RSS. GC grow-then-churn improves CPU 36.16% and peak RSS 77.08%. Full measured matrices follow; small differences have not been established as durable regressions.

JSON matrix

Fixture-size clarification: names 8m and 20m are nominal labels. The actual UTF-8 inputs are 7,117,930 bytes (7.12 MB; 59,000 records) and 17,765,930 bytes (17.77 MB; 145,000 records). The object-envelope form adds 12 bytes. Each record contains id, name, email, active, score and two tags. Scan means parse plus reading every record’s id; sparse means parse plus reading the first and last ids; roundtrip means parse plus stringify. CPU timing excludes file reading and measures repeated operations including any GC they trigger; peak RSS covers the whole worker process. These measurements do not establish a universal size threshold.

Notable additional measured increases: tiny-object parse CPU +33.40% / instructions +6.34%; map/set GC CPU +7.47%; 1 MB array roundtrip peak RSS +2.08%. Small RSS variations and short-run CPU differences have not been established as durable regressions; they are disclosed rather than silently waived.

#10182)

…#10182)

…es it (#10182) A synchronous full used to expand every pending promoted page run in its constructor, including the runs of blocks its block-granular sweep then released whole: 7-8 ms of a 62 ms pacing full on records_array_20m:parse and ~18 MiB of transient page lists. The sweep now expands a page right before it invalidates the first dead header on it (PendingOldUnregister::defer), the same order invalidate_dead_old_arena_header already keeps; a page on which every object survives keeps its run, and a block reclaimed whole discards its runs unexpanded.

The exact census reads every header in the arena. On a pacing full over two promoted 20 MB JSON trees it spent ~15 ms doing it, against ~4 ms for a plain header walk over the same 1.8 M objects: the cost was the per-object cursor call and the per-object recomputation of block constants, not the memory traffic. ValidPointerSetBuilder::census_whole_block parses a block itself (same alignment, stop conditions and walkability filter as next_budgeted), sets start bits through the block's chunk pointers, and applies the pointer range, start count and nursery classification once per block. Budgeted steps and classifier-mode sets keep the per-object walk.

…le-free (#10182) After the object walk, old_free_rebuild_from_live_old_blocks re-parsed every live old block looking for invalidated headers: on a pacing full that keeps one promoted 20 MB JSON tree, a second pass over the whole tree that finds no hole. The whole-block census now records whether a block holds any header that does not parse as an object, and the sweep records where it invalidated one; the rebuild skips a live old block that is hole-free by both, unchanged since the census. Counter: hole_rebuild_blocks_skipped; diag [gc-old-free] rebuild_skipped_blocks=.

A full's sweep called the arena cursor once per object and re-derived the object's block constants (old or general, from-space membership, age bumping) for each one. On a pacing full that keeps one promoted 20 MB JSON tree that was the sweep's largest cost after block skipping. The unbudgeted sweep now parses each block itself, keeps a marked, unpinned, unforwarded object inline with the block constants hoisted, and hands every other header to process_object unchanged. Budgeted sweeps keep the per-object cursor.

The full mark paid, for every traced slot: a page-generation lookup to build GcMutableSlot::external (read only by the copying minor), a thread-local read for the proxy-observation flag, a header re-read to rule out weak-holder classes, a dynamic callback per slot of a range descriptor, and — because the optimizer hoisted it above the arm check — a thread-local address fetch for the layout-scan counters. The slot's generation is now classified when asked, the proxy and weak-holder facts are read once per object, range descriptors are walked inline, and the layout counter's thread-local lives out of line behind the process-wide arm flag. classifier_verify_enabled tests its cached static before its thread-local.

Every membership query of the full mark first binary-searched the census block fences (about 150 on a 20 MB JSON pacing full), and after the per-slot hoists that search was the largest single cost left in the mark. The finished census now also builds a table with one entry per 1 MiB window: the greatest block base at or below the window start and the one base, if any, inside it. Arena blocks are at least 1 MiB and never overlap, so a lookup is a shift, a bounds check and one compare. Sets whose bases share a window, or that span more than 16 GiB, keep the binary search.

mark_field_into_worklist queued every newly marked object, and the drain then dispatched each one only to find a leaf descriptor with no slot to visit. Strings are half the objects of a parsed JSON tree. A pointer-free object that is not a forwarding stub is now marked and not queued; a forwarded one is still queued so its hop is followed.

The copying minor's drain prefetches the header a few worklist entries ahead; the full mark's drain did not, and on a promoted 20 MB JSON tree each header it dequeues is a cold DRAM read. A prefetch has no architectural effect and cannot fault.

…moting safepoint (#10182) Old-reclaim pacing cannot see a promoted tree that dies after its minor: every promotion credits the growth baseline (#7592/#7965). A document parse/scan loop lives in that blind spot, because each result's top-level array is born old and keeps its young contents reachable through remembered slots until a full proves it dead; on records_array_20m:parse every minor promotes two trees, one of them dead, and nothing ever collects them. A full is now due when the bytes promoted since the last full reach max(one base nursery, the old-gen live set that full verified << backoff). It is consulted only right after a nursery minor at a precise safepoint, so the full runs with precise roots and, after an in-place promotion, an empty young generation. It is not an arm of old_reclaim_pressure_due, whose credited baseline and the two tests #10204 broke are untouched. A cohort full that reclaims less than half its cohort doubles the bound (at most three times), so a heap whose promoted bytes stay live pays a logarithmic number of futile fulls; a productive one restores it. Diag: [gc-trigger] promoted_since_full= cohort_bound=, site safepoint_promoted_cohort, [gc-promoted-cohort] full cohort= bound= reclaimed= productive= backoff_shift=.

…just promoted (#10182) The cohort full runs at the same safepoint as the nursery minor whose promotion made it due, and that minor's untraced in-place promotion has just parsed every header of every block it promoted. The full's census parsed them again before the mutator ran a single instruction; on records_array_20m:parse those blocks are two of the three trees the census reads. When the minor's promotion can bring the cohort to its bound, the promotion walk now records for each block it parses whole the census's start bitmap and per-block facts, the flag facts computed by the census's own function after the promotion's own header writes. Only the cohort full started at the same safepoint may adopt a record, only for a block with the same address, bump offset and size, and every record is discarded when the safepoint returns. Test builds re-walk every adopted block with the census walk and assert the record agrees.

…e the sweep's page tally (#10182) A range descriptor (an array's elements, an all-pointer field range) is now walked twice: the first pass starts the header read of every pointer-tagged slot's target, the second marks. account_old_object is inlined into the whole-block sweep's live path.

…blocks

…10182)

…the liveness vector (#10182) The hole-free skip copied block_has_live and kept a second per-block vector for the sweep's invalidations. The rebuild now takes a block filter, and an invalidation clears the block's hole-free fact directly.

…he root scan (#10182) A conservative stack scan reads every word from its own stack pointer up, including slots of live frames that no call has written since a deeper frame returned. The one-pass census left a different heap address there than the per-object census did: on records_array_8m:roundtrip every alloc-point full found one more conservative root (8 against 7), kept a dead 7 MB stringify result, lost the 7 MB hole it would have left, and peak RSS rose from 129 to 159 MiB. A full now zeroes 16 KiB of dead stack after building its census; the root counts and the RSS are back to 129 MiB.

…oted (#10182) A promoted-cohort full resets the untraced-promotion budget, so a workload that turns from building a live set to churning never re-measures: every minor promotes the churn untraced and every cohort full marks the whole live set to reclaim it (14_grow_then_churn: 13 cohort fulls, 0 copied). The full's sweep now measures, block by block, how much of what the minor at the same safepoint promoted is still reachable (the blocks the promotion walk recorded for census adoption). Below the in-place promotion threshold that figure replaces the young-survival predictor, so the next minor evacuates and measures instead of promoting on faith. A parse loop measures ~1000 there (the last minor promoted the tree being parsed) and keeps its untraced promotions.

…10182) records_array_20m:parse measures 500 permille over the blocks its last minor promoted, not ~1000: that minor promotes the dead previous tree with the live current one, because the dead tree's born-old top array keeps its records reachable through remembered slots. Fed to the predictor, that made the next minor evacuate and copy both trees (~95 ms, +50 MB RSS). A minor measures what it reaches from roots and from every old object on its dirty pages, so the full's survival equals the minor's exactly when no object on those pages that the full's mark left unmarked holds a dirty slot into the promoted blocks. The minor now notes its remembered set (page keys only) while the promotion census records; the full checks those parents after its mark, before its sweep, and the predictor is fed only when the view is exact.

…10182)

… census window (#10182)

…did not record (#10182)

…ge set (#10182)

A copying minor tenures an object only after it survived a minor, so a cohort full scheduled for tenured bytes is futile by the only measurement a minor has. 12_large_live_set's one cohort full was reached by 21.2 MB of copy-tenured bytes over a 16 MB bound and reclaimed 8.3 MB; every cohort full on the JSON rows was reached by in-place promotions alone. The old-reclaim baseline credit still takes every promoted byte.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates the runtime to use block-based GC census data, deferred sweep processing, batched page accounting, and promoted-cohort full pacing. It adds regression tests, diagnostics, documentation, changelogs, and version metadata.

Changes

GC census and adoption

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Block census and census adoption `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/trace.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/trace/adopt_census.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/arena/`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/`	Arena membership now uses per-block start bitmaps, sorted starts for large blocks, and direct block-window lookup. Unbounded walks can census whole blocks and adopt promotion records.
Deferred sweep and page accounting `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/oldgen/`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/arena/page_meta/`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/old_free.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/sweep_*`	Sweep processing expands promoted runs only when needed, batches single-page accounting, skips hole-free blocks, and supports whole-block sweeping.
Promoted-cohort pacing and survival `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/promoted_cohort*`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/policy.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/copying.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/promote_in_place.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/promoted_cohort.rs`	The runtime tracks in-place promoted bytes and triggers synchronous full collections at adaptive cohort bounds. Survival probes can update the promotion predictor when the minor view is exact.
Marking and remembered-set paths `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/cycle.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/trace.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/verify.rs`, `crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/*`	Full collections scrub dead stack space, reuse per-object marking facts, avoid queueing ordinary leaf objects, and skip empty remembered-set rebuilds when census conditions prove that result.
Release support `Cargo.toml`, `CLAUDE.md`, `changelog.d/*`, `docs/src/internals/garbage-collector.md`, `scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.json`	The project version changes to `0.5.1568`. Changelogs, GC documentation, test registrations, and root-holder metadata describe the new behavior.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Record census for MallocCount minors that can reach the cohort bound.

gc_safepoint_moving_minor can run a MallocCount minor. The copying path can select in-place promotion because its policy has no trigger-kind guard. The following cohort full then tries census adoption. Without a recorded census, trace.rs falls back to walk_census_block, so this omission loses the census-adoption optimization but does not cause incorrect collection behavior.

Include GcTriggerKind::MallocCount in the census-recording condition.

Proposed fix

- let record_census = matches!(kind, GcTriggerKind::ArenaBytes) + let record_census = matches!( + kind, + GcTriggerKind::ArenaBytes | GcTriggerKind::MallocCount + )

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Gate this test on supported architectures.

On architectures other than aarch64 and x86_64, these lines synthesize the expected results from scrub. A regression in scrub_dead_stack_below() will still pass. Compile this test module only on supported architectures, or add a stack-pointer implementation for each supported target.

Proposed fix
