What

Follow-up to #11360 (key-add memos). Polymorphic key-add sites are now served inline, and a literal key-add costs less.

  1. A representation change takes no typed-feedback lock when feedback is off. Every key-add on an object literal called invalidate_representation_change. That took the typed-feedback registry lock and flushed deferred GC requests, only to bump counters that the feedback trace alone reads. It now returns first when feedback is off, saving ~180 instructions per add.
  2. Polymorphic sites are served inline. A "first N ways" scan would have served 8 of tsc's 844K runtime-served adds, because the hot memo sits behind throwaway first-instance shapes. Instead:
    • Each extra memo lives at a home way chosen by hashing its pre-ShapeId (64 ways).
    • The emitted hit compares the home way and the way after it, following the primary compare.
    • Emitted code size is fixed, however many shapes a site sees.
    • The add memo is compared before the existing-key ways.
    • The hot path tests the header once; the layout-record case moved to a cold block.
  3. Far memos move inward (promote_way). A memo the runtime serves from beyond the two inline ways moves into one of them, swapping only with a memo that is not at its own home. A census had shown 8 tsc sites holding 21 memos each, with every hit 2–3 ways from home.

Numbers

Dedicated Linux host, both arms built there, instructions:u. Outputs match node every round.

Census (does the path fire?):

main branch
Zod, adds served by the runtime memo 27,462 0 (all 27,462 now inline way hits)
Zod, miss calls 27,756 294
tsc, inline way hits 0 691,852
tsc, miss calls 1,453,113 761,313

Verification

  • Runtime suite: 4,646/0 (--test-threads=1) on the rebased head.
  • Key-add integration tests: 9/9, including a new polymorphic test.
  • Sabotage: every new test goes red under its own. That covers:
    • a way hit reading the primary's guard;
    • the typed-feedback gate removed;
    • the add-primary compare falling straight to the ways;
    • memos placed in arrival order instead of at home;
    • one inline probe instead of two;
    • promote_way doing nothing.
  • Gap suite, by test id on both arms, node 26.5.1 pinned: no regressions. One network-timing test, turnloop_p9_worker_agent_net, flakes on both arms (main 3/10, branch 7/10).
  • Other gates:
    • cargo fmt is clean.
    • run_lint_gates 100/102, run on the pre-rebase head, which is code-identical. The only failures are host-only (cargo xwin, public-baseline freshness, which also fails on main).
    • GC root-dominance is green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Improved performance when adding properties to objects with varying layouts, particularly at polymorphic write sites.
    • Reduced reliance on runtime memo handling for these property additions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of inherited setters during property additions across different object layouts.

…ith feedback off

Every key-add on a typed-layout receiver (an object literal) retires its layout record through invalidate_representation_change, which took the typed-feedback registry lock, bumped the GC-root lock depth and flushed deferred collection requests on release, only to bump two counters that nothing but the typed-feedback trace reads. With feedback off it now returns first: about 180 instructions per such add (literal key-add fixture 693.9 -> 513.6 instr/op).
…line at their home way

A displaced key-add memo is placed at its pre-shape home way in the site block (top 6 bits of sid * 0x9E3779B1; the next free way when an earlier memo holds it), and the emitted hit compares the home and the next way after the primary memo, whatever the number of shapes. On tsc the hot memo of a polymorphic site sits behind transient first-instance shapes (3rd or 15th in arrival order), so no fixed prefix of an in-order list would hold it. The primary add memo is compared before the existing-key ways, and the hot path tests the header word once (refused bits and layout record together), sorting out a layout record in a cold block.
…s into them

On tsc eight polymorphic sites keep 21 memos each and serve every hit from a way 2-3 past its home: the home and the next were taken by transient first-instance shapes placed earlier. When the runtime serves a memo from beyond the two ways the emitted hit compares, it now moves the memo into the second of them (or the home), trading places with a memo that is not at its own home. tsc runtime-served key-adds per transpile: 406,464 -> 152,424.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now places key-add memos in hashed ways and can promote eligible memos into the emitted probe window. Generated store ICs check the primary memo and two ways. Receiver-header checks and typed-feedback invalidation also changed.

Changes

Polymorphic key-add stores

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hashed memo placement and promotion
crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy/put_value/packed_add.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy/put_value/packed_add_tests.rs
The runtime replaces arrival-ordered ways with 64 hashed ways. It searches from each pre-shape’s home and can promote eligible distant memos into the two-way probe window. Tests check layout, placement, promotion, and guard preservation.
Generated key-add probes and hits
crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/put_value_store_ic.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/store_census.rs, crates/perry-codegen/tests/native_proof_regressions.rs, crates/perry/tests/keyadd_store_ic.rs, changelog.d/11436-keyadd-poly.md
Generated store ICs check the primary memo and then probe two hashed ways. A matched memo supplies its shape and guard pair to the key-add hit path, which applies receiver-kind and header checks. Census counters, regression assertions, integration tests, and the changelog cover these changes.
Conditional representation invalidation
crates/perry-runtime/src/typed_feedback.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/typed_feedback/tests.rs
Representation-change invalidation skips registry access when the object address is zero or typed feedback is disabled. Tests check the enabled and disabled cases.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c96b5

The release note misstates how many ways are checked. Correcting it is worthwhile, but this does not block merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c96b5

Shape checks and invalidation controls remain in place, but concurrent access to the new memo ways has an unresolved integrity risk. The available evidence does not establish whether readers can overlap memo replacement or promotion.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: Concurrent memo promotion or replacement may expose a shape with a guard from a different memo, permitting a wrong-slot write if generated or runtime readers can overlap the publisher.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — If concurrent access to a shared site is possible, the affected sink is the field-slot write of a receiver processed by the runtime or generated store path. Cross-agent sharing and effective exposure were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An overlapping replacement or promotion could let a reader use the shape from one memo with another memo's current-generation slot guard. This is a conditional integrity path, not a verified exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Hash collisions alone do not authorize a store: generated probes compare the full pre-shape, and the shared hit path checks generation and receiver state before writing.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Primary-agent-only writes limit publishers but do not themselves establish exclusion of readers; sequential placement and invalidation checks cannot resolve an overlapping-read question.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Establish and verify site-level reader-writer exclusion, or publish each memo with a protocol that lets readers validate that its shape and guard belong to the same version.

The changelog gives the wrong number of inline probes.

Lines 4-5 say that the emitted hit compares "that one way" and costs "one extra compare". The emitter compares two ways: the home way and the next way (ADD_WAY_PROBES = 2 in crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/put_value_store_ic.rs). Lines 11-12 of this file also mention "the two ways". The release note therefore contradicts itself and the code.
