/*
* [SMDOC] GC Barriers
*
* Several kinds of barrier are necessary to allow the GC to function correctly.
* These are triggered by reading or writing to GC pointers in the heap and
* serve to tell the collector about changes to the graph of reachable GC
* things.
*
* Since it would be awkward to change every write to memory into a function
* call, this file contains a bunch of C++ classes and templates that use
* operator overloading to take care of barriers automatically. In most cases,
* all that's necessary is to replace:
*
* Type* field;
*
* with:
*
* HeapPtr<Type> field;
*
* All heap-based GC pointers and tagged pointers must use one of these classes,
* except in a couple of exceptional cases.
*
* These classes are designed to be used by the internals of the JS engine.
* Barriers designed to be used externally are provided in js/RootingAPI.h.
*
* Overview
* ========
*
* This file implements the following concrete classes:
*
* HeapPtr General wrapper for heap-based pointers that provides pre- and
* post-write barriers. Most clients should use this.
*
* GCPtr An optimisation of HeapPtr for objects which are only destroyed
* by GC finalization (this rules out use in Vector, for example).
*
* PreBarriered Provides a pre-barrier but not a post-barrier. Necessary when
* generational GC updates are handled manually, e.g. for hash
* table keys that don't use StableCellHasher.
*
* HeapSlot Provides pre and post-barriers, optimised for use in JSObject
* slots and elements.
*
* WeakHeapPtr Provides read and post-write barriers, for use with weak
* pointers.
*
* UnsafeBarePtr Provides no barriers. Don't add new uses of this, or only if
* you really know what you are doing.
*
* The following classes are implemented in js/RootingAPI.h (in the JS
* namespace):
*
* Heap General wrapper for external clients. Like HeapPtr but also
* handles cycle collector concerns. Most external clients should
* use this.
*
* Heap::Tenured Like Heap but doesn't allow nursery pointers. Allows storing
* flags in unused lower bits of the pointer.
*
* Which class to use?
* -------------------
*
* Answer the following questions to decide which barrier class is right for
* your use case:
*
* Is your code part of the JS engine?
* Yes, it's internal =>
* Is your pointer weak or strong?
* Strong =>
* Do you want automatic handling of nursery pointers?
* Yes, of course =>
* Can your object be destroyed outside of a GC?
* Yes => Use HeapPtr<T>
* No => Use GCPtr<T> (optimization)
* No, I'll do this myself =>
* Do you want pre-barriers so incremental marking works?
* Yes, of course => Use PreBarriered<T>
* No, and I'll fix all the bugs myself => Use UnsafeBarePtr<T>
* Weak => Use WeakHeapPtr<T>
* No, it's external =>
* Can your pointer refer to nursery objects?
* Yes => Use JS::Heap<T>
* Never => Use JS::Heap::Tenured<T> (optimization)
*
* If in doubt, use HeapPtr<T>.
*
* Write barriers
* ==============
*
* A write barrier is a mechanism used by incremental or generational GCs to
* ensure that every value that needs to be marked is marked. In general, the
* write barrier should be invoked whenever a write can cause the set of things
* traced through by the GC to change. This includes:
*
* - writes to object properties
* - writes to array slots
* - writes to fields like JSObject::shape_ that we trace through
* - writes to fields in private data
* - writes to non-markable fields like JSObject::private that point to
* markable data
*
* The last category is the trickiest. Even though the private pointer does not
* point to a GC thing, changing the private pointer may change the set of
* objects that are traced by the GC. Therefore it needs a write barrier.
*
* Every barriered write should have the following form:
*
* <pre-barrier>
* obj->field = value; // do the actual write
* <post-barrier>
*
* The pre-barrier is used for incremental GC and the post-barrier is for
* generational GC.
*
* Pre-write barrier
* -----------------
*
* To understand the pre-barrier, let's consider how incremental GC works. The
* GC itself is divided into "slices". Between each slice, JS code is allowed to
* run. Each slice should be short so that the user doesn't notice the
* interruptions. In our GC, the structure of the slices is as follows:
*
* 1. ... JS work, which leads to a request to do GC ...
* 2. [first GC slice, which performs all root marking and (maybe) more marking]
* 3. ... more JS work is allowed to run ...
* 4. [GC mark slice, which runs entirely in
* GCRuntime::markUntilBudgetExhausted]
* 5. ... more JS work ...
* 6. [GC mark slice, which runs entirely in
* GCRuntime::markUntilBudgetExhausted]
* 7. ... more JS work ...
* 8. [GC marking finishes; sweeping done non-incrementally; GC is done]
* 9. ... JS continues uninterrupted now that GC is finishes ...
*
* Of course, there may be a different number of slices depending on how much
* marking is to be done.
*
* The danger inherent in this scheme is that the JS code in steps 3, 5, and 7
* might change the heap in a way that causes the GC to collect an object that
* is actually reachable. The write barrier prevents this from happening. We use
* a variant of incremental GC called "snapshot at the beginning." This approach
* guarantees the invariant that if an object is reachable in step 2, then we
* will mark it eventually. The name comes from the idea that we take a
* theoretical "snapshot" of all reachable objects in step 2; all objects in
* that snapshot should eventually be marked. (Note that the write barrier
* verifier code takes an actual snapshot.)
*
* The basic correctness invariant of a snapshot-at-the-beginning collector is
* that any object reachable at the end of the GC (step 9) must either:
* (1) have been reachable at the beginning (step 2) and thus in the snapshot
* (2) or must have been newly allocated, in steps 3, 5, or 7.
* To deal with case (2), any objects allocated during an incremental GC are
* automatically marked black.
*
* This strategy is actually somewhat conservative: if an object becomes
* unreachable between steps 2 and 8, it would be safe to collect it. We won't,
* mainly for simplicity. (Also, note that the snapshot is entirely
* theoretical. We don't actually do anything special in step 2 that we wouldn't
* do in a non-incremental GC.
*
* It's the pre-barrier's job to maintain the snapshot invariant. Consider the
* write "obj->field = value". Let the prior value of obj->field be
* value0. Since it's possible that value0 may have been what obj->field
* contained in step 2, when the snapshot was taken, the barrier marks
* value0. Note that it only does this if we're in the middle of an incremental
* GC. Since this is rare, the cost of the write barrier is usually just an
* extra branch.
*
* In practice, we implement the pre-barrier differently based on the type of
* value0. E.g., see JSObject::preWriteBarrier, which is used if obj->field is
* a JSObject*. It takes value0 as a parameter.
*
* Post-write barrier
* ------------------
*
* For generational GC, we want to be able to quickly collect the nursery in a
* minor collection. Part of the way this is achieved is to only mark the
* nursery itself; tenured things, which may form the majority of the heap, are
* not traced through or marked. This leads to the problem of what to do about
* tenured objects that have pointers into the nursery: if such things are not
* marked, they may be discarded while there are still live objects which
* reference them. The solution is to maintain information about these pointers,
* and mark their targets when we start a minor collection.
*
* The pointers can be thought of as edges in an object graph, and the set of
* edges from the tenured generation into the nursery is known as the remembered
* set. Post barriers are used to track this remembered set.
*
* Whenever a slot which could contain such a pointer is written, we check
* whether the pointed-to thing is in the nursery (if storeBuffer() returns a
* buffer). If so we add the cell into the store buffer, which is the
* collector's representation of the remembered set. This means that when we
* come to do a minor collection we can examine the contents of the store buffer
* and mark any edge targets that are in the nursery.
*
* Read barriers
* =============
*
* Weak pointer read barrier
* -------------------------
*
* Weak pointers must have a read barrier to prevent the referent from being
* collected if it is read after the start of an incremental GC.
*
* The problem happens when, during an incremental GC, some code reads a weak
* pointer and writes it somewhere on the heap that has been marked black in a
* previous slice. Since the weak pointer will not otherwise be marked and will
* be swept and finalized in the last slice, this will leave the pointer just
* written dangling after the GC. To solve this, we immediately mark black all
* weak pointers that get read between slices so that it is safe to store them
* in an already marked part of the heap, e.g. in Rooted.
*
* Cycle collector read barrier
* ----------------------------
*
* Heap pointers external to the engine may be marked gray. The JS API has an
* invariant that no gray pointers may be passed, and this maintained by a read
* barrier that calls ExposeGCThingToActiveJS on such pointers. This is
* implemented by JS::Heap<T> in js/RootingAPI.h.
*
* Implementation Details
* ======================
*
* One additional note: not all object writes need to be pre-barriered. Writes
* to newly allocated objects do not need a pre-barrier. In these cases, we use
* the "obj->field.init(value)" method instead of "obj->field = value". We use
* the init naming idiom in many places to signify that a field is being
* assigned for the first time.
*
* This file implements the following hierarchy of classes:
*
* BarrieredBase base class of all barriers
* | |
* | WriteBarriered base class which provides common write operations
* | | | | |
* | | | | PreBarriered provides pre-barriers only
* | | | |
* | | | GCPtr provides pre- and post-barriers
* | | |
* | | HeapPtr provides pre- and post-barriers; is relocatable
* | | and deletable for use inside C++ managed memory
* | |
* | HeapSlot similar to GCPtr, but tailored to slots storage
* |
* ReadBarriered base class which provides common read operations
* |
* WeakHeapPtr provides read barriers only
*
*
* The implementation of the barrier logic is implemented in the
* Cell/TenuredCell base classes, which are called via:
*
* WriteBarriered<T>::pre
* -> InternalBarrierMethods<T*>::preBarrier
* -> Cell::preWriteBarrier
* -> InternalBarrierMethods<Value>::preBarrier
* -> InternalBarrierMethods<jsid>::preBarrier
* -> InternalBarrierMethods<T*>::preBarrier
* -> Cell::preWriteBarrier
*
* GCPtr<T>::post and HeapPtr<T>::post
* -> InternalBarrierMethods<T*>::postBarrier
* -> gc::PostWriteBarrierImpl
* -> InternalBarrierMethods<Value>::postBarrier
* -> StoreBuffer::put
*
* Barriers for use outside of the JS engine call into the same barrier
* implementations at InternalBarrierMethods<T>::post via an indirect call to
* Heap(.+)PostWriteBarrier.
*
* These clases are designed to be used to wrap GC thing pointers or values that
* act like them (i.e. JS::Value and jsid). It is possible to use them for
* other types by supplying the necessary barrier implementations but this
* is not usually necessary and should be done with caution.
