perf(gc): pre-register typed shape layouts - #8413
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime now pre-registers immutable typed-shape layouts. Codegen reuses their ShapeIds and classifies allocation layouts. Inline allocation bakes pointer-free or side-mask state into object headers. Tests verify registration, header metadata, and pointer tracing. ChangesTyped shape pre-registration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to When PERRY_SHAPE_LAYOUT_KEYED=0, registered typed-layout accesses can repeatedly take a process-wide lock and clone descriptors during GC and stores, creating a material performance regression in that supported mode; a test-only registration collision can also abort the test binary. Merge should wait for owner acceptance or follow-up on these bounded issues. Possibly related PRs

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Cache the registered descriptor regardless of the keyed-layout knob.
The comment at Lines 261-262 states the mutex is paid once per shape per thread, never per trace or store. That holds only when shape_layout_keyed_enabled() is true.
With PERRY_SHAPE_LAYOUT_KEYED=0:
- Line 247 skips the hot-table probe.
- Line 267 skips the hot-table insert.
Every pointer-slot visit and every store on a registered class then locks REGISTERED_TYPED_SHAPES and clones a TypedLayoutDescriptor, including both LayoutSlotMask clones. During a trace this runs per object, under a process-global mutex shared by all worker threads.
The knob is described as an A/B validation path for dynamically learned layouts. Registered layouts are immutable and are not what the knob is meant to disable, so the cache for them can stay on unconditionally. Also note the slot_count mismatch at Line 264 returns without recording a negative entry, so a mismatching shape repays the lock on every lookup.
♻️ Proposed fix: cache registered descriptors and their negatives unconditionally

Some(f(&desc))Check the unconditional negative caching against the knob-off contract first: the hot table must not retain entries for dynamically learned shapes when the knob is off. If that contract forbids it, keep the negative caching gated and only make the positive registered-descriptor insert unconditional.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
The registration is process-global and permanent, and a collision aborts the test binary.
js_gc_typed_shape_id_for_keys inserts into REGISTERED_TYPED_SHAPES, which is a LazyLock<Mutex<..>> with no reset path. This test writes a permanent entry keyed on the hardcoded class_id = 17 plus the two masks.
If another test in the same process registers class_id = 17 with the same slot_count and masks but a different keys array, registration takes the dedup branch and calls install_registered_typed_shape_id. That call compares against the agent-local descriptor, whose keys field differs, returns false, and the runtime calls std::process::abort(). The whole test binary dies with no test name attached.
Two options:
- Pick a
class_idthat is clearly reserved for this test and document it, for example a constant in a shared test module alongside the other reserved ids. - Add a
#[cfg(test)]reset helper forREGISTERED_TYPED_SHAPESand call it at the start of this test, matching the clear/clear pattern already used for marks.
Based on learnings, test-only reset helpers should be retained only when they have real callers supporting the tests, so option 2 is appropriate only if this test calls it.
