+ * [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 MovableCellHasher.
+ *
+ * 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.
+ *
+ * TenuredHeap 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::TenuredHeap<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.
