Summary

Closes #8679.

  • replace the post-RS4GC instruction-budget hard refusal with a typed spill-retry request carrying the exact over-budget function names and pre/post instruction counts
  • let an already-lowered LlFunction switch from native statepoint roots to a complete precise shadow frame, including frame setup, retained slot binds, balanced pops, and removal of the GC strategy
  • rebuild and retry direct native modules, split native codegen units, legacy text transport, and diff modes at the originally requested optimization level
  • keep split-unit retry sources on the producer thread in a one-unit-per-worker bounded window, dropping each lowering graph as soon as its unit reaches a final result
  • budget only functions that actually entered RS4GC, so a successfully shadow-spilled function cannot trigger an infinite second retry
  • preserve typed retry errors through linker context without consuming the process-wide failed-IR retention slot

PERRY_LL_RS4GC_MAX_INSTRS=warn:<n> and disabled-budget behavior remain unchanged. DEFAULT_ROOT_SPILL_RELOCATIONS remains at the measured 32M fan-out cliff; estimator misses are now handled durably by the retry.

No version bump is included.

Verification

  • cargo test -p perry-codegen --features llvm-inprocess --lib — 1201 passed, 1 ignored
  • focused direct-native and split-worker budget retry tests, including proof that the retried split object has no compact statepoint map
  • RUSTFLAGS='-D warnings' cargo check -p perry-codegen --features llvm-inprocess --all-targets
  • RUSTFLAGS='-D warnings' cargo check -p perry --features llvm-inprocess --tests
  • cargo check -p perry-codegen --no-default-features --lib (passes with the same four feature-off dead-code warnings)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check

Clippy with -D warnings is currently blocked by existing repository lint debt (including perry-diagnostics and 191 existing perry-codegen findings); no clippy-driven unrelated edits are included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Large native functions that exceed the LLVM instruction budget are now automatically retried with an alternative memory-root strategy instead of failing.
    • Improved compilation reliability across standard, split-unit, differential, and cached build paths.
    • Prevented repeated retries and reduced the risk of compiler hangs during optimization.
  • Documentation

    • Updated build-cache and instruction-budget documentation to reflect the new retry behavior.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The RS4GC instruction budget now returns typed retry requests. Affected functions are re-lowered to precise shadow frames, and textual, split-unit, native, and differential compilation paths retry with the updated lowering state.

Changes

RS4GC budget and lowering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed budget violations
crates/perry-codegen/src/inprocess.rs
Budget checks now report affected RS4GC functions with typed instruction-size metadata. Tests cover participation filtering, fatal and warning modes, disabled budgets, and repeated retries.
Shadow-frame spill conversion
crates/perry-codegen/src/function.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/native_emit.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/helpers.rs
Functions can disable native stack-map lowering and rebuild shadow-frame bindings after a budget violation. Repeated spill requests report no change.

Compilation retry integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Textual LLVM retries
crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/mod.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/linker.rs
Textual and split LLVM compilation recover typed budget errors, mutate mutable modules, and retry rendering or compilation while preserving IR output behavior.
Native and differential retries
crates/perry-codegen/src/native_emit.rs
Native compilation retains retryable units, resubmits affected units through a bounded scheduler, and retries direct, split-unit, and differential paths. Tests verify emitted objects and shadow-root output.
Documentation updates
changelog.d/8679-rs4gc-budget-spill-retry.md, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/build_cache.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/object_cache.rs
The changelog and cache documentation describe function-level shadow-frame re-lowering controlled by the post-RS4GC instruction budget.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 069f0

The late retry path can associate live object roots with the wrong shadow frame, allowing objects to be collected too early and causing high-impact runtime failures. This correctness issue should be fixed before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

Order the late frame push before the retained js_shadow_slot_bind calls.

emit_shadow_frame_push appends to the selected region. On the late-spill path the region is already populated. When shadow_frame_post_init_region is true, entry_setup_call_void has already pushed every js_shadow_slot_bind line into entry_post_init_setup, so appending the push there renders:

call void `@js_shadow_slot_bind`(i32 0, ptr %root)
%state = call ptr `@js_shadow_frame_enter`(i32 1)

The binds then write into the caller's frame, not this function's. The GC root map for the function is wrong for every slot, which can free a live object. The early (estimate-driven) path does not have this problem because reserve_shadow_slot creates the push before the first bind is emitted.

crates/perry-codegen/src/function.rs line 1429 only asserts that the three calls are present, so the existing test passes with the wrong order. Add an order assertion on @js_shadow_frame_enter before @js_shadow_slot_bind.

🐛 Proposed fix: splice the push at the region start on a late request
-    fn emit_shadow_frame_push(&mut self, slot_count: u32, post_init: bool) {
+    fn emit_shadow_frame_push(&mut self, slot_count: u32, post_init: bool) {
+        self.emit_shadow_frame_push_at(slot_count, post_init, None);
+    }
+
+    /// `at` selects the insertion point in the region; `None` appends.
+    fn emit_shadow_frame_push_at(
+        &mut self,
+        slot_count: u32,
+        post_init: bool,
+        at: Option<usize>,
+    ) {
@@
         let region = if post_init {
             &mut self.entry_post_init_setup
         } else {
             &mut self.entry_allocas
         };
-        let line_idx = region.len();
-        region.push(push_line);
-        region.extend(rest);
+        let line_idx = at.unwrap_or(region.len()).min(region.len());
+        region.insert(line_idx, push_line);
+        for (offset, line) in rest.into_iter().enumerate() {
+            region.insert(line_idx + 1 + offset, line);
+        }

Then call it from request_shadow_frame_spill with Some(0):

-            self.emit_shadow_frame_push(
-                self.stack_map_slot_count,
-                self.shadow_frame_post_init_region,
-            );
+            self.emit_shadow_frame_push_at(
+                self.stack_map_slot_count,
+                self.shadow_frame_post_init_region,
+                Some(0),
+            );

Note: alloca_entry inside emit_shadow_frame_push still appends the handle/state slots to entry_allocas, which is correct because entry_allocas is spliced at the top of block 0.

…CI hardening (#8696)

Lands #8687, #8686 and #8684.

#8687 (closes #8679) replaces the post-RS4GC instruction-budget hard
refusal with a typed spill-retry: an already-lowered LlFunction switches
from native statepoint roots to a complete precise shadow frame and the
unit is rebuilt at the originally requested optimization level. This is
the durable handling for the estimator misses #8678 could only make more
accurate.

Retry termination is guaranteed rather than argued.
`request_shadow_frame_spill()` latches on `force_shadow_frame` and
returns false if already set; `apply_budget_spill_retry` records only the
functions where it returned true, and any violation not recorded becomes
a hard error naming it. A function therefore cannot be retried twice.

#8686 builds the gap suite's fast-mode archives once in a dedicated
`gap-suite-build` job and shares them across the six shards. The
skipped-vs-failed distinction is handled explicitly: `always()` keeps a
SKIPPED build (full mode, where the job never runs) from cascading into
skipped shards, while the guard still requires `success` or `skipped`, so
a genuine build FAILURE stops the shards. The shard also verifies the
downloaded binary is runnable and exports PERRY_BIN / PERRY_RUNTIME_DIR.

#8684 inlines dtolnay/rust-toolchain and SHA-pins every other
third-party action. Verified no job and no gate is dropped: the single
removed step is the fast-mode archive build, which moved into
gap-suite-build.

No version bump.

Landed on main via #8696 (squash fdbddebe6), with #8686 and #8684.

Before landing a retry loop I wanted the termination guarantee to be structural rather than argued, and it is: request_shadow_frame_spill() latches on force_shadow_frame and returns false if already set, apply_budget_spill_retry records only the true cases, and any violation not recorded becomes a hard error naming it. A function that has already been spilled fails loudly instead of retrying — it cannot loop.

Validated on the merged result: all 30 lint-job checkers, perry-codegen --lib 1202/0, perry-codegen --features llvm-inprocess --lib 1202/0 (the feature your change actually touches), perry-runtime --lib 2655/0, perry --bin perry 1031/0.

This closes the loop on #8678's note that estimate accuracy alone wasn't enough while #8623's 32M sat above the 1.57M budget. Thanks!

…dd iOS 27 APIs (#8700)

Lands #8689, #8697 and #8699.

#8689 computes a whole-module greatest-fixed-point GC-effect closure and
marks direct calls to transitively non-collecting generated callees
`gc-leaf-function`, while allocation/poll paths, indirect calls, unknown
externals and cross-module calls stay statepoints. Its `native_emit.rs`
conflict with the just-landed #8687 was one hunk: #8689's
`render_fn_external_with_gc_leaf_callees` replaces `render_fn_external`,
and `gc_leaf_callees` is destructured in the same function by #8689's own
change, so the conflict was positional only.

#8697 (closes #8595) enables structured module-entry outlining
automatically past 1,000 top-level HIR statements or 4,000 estimated
safepoints, bounding chunks and marking them no-inline so LLVM cannot
reconstruct the oversized entry before RS4GC, ISel or regalloc.
`PERRY_OUTLINE_ENTRY=1`/`=0` remain as force-on and opt-out.

#8699 (closes #5536) adds the iOS-only `perry/ios` layout API, a Swift
Foundation Models bridge, and iOS 27 NowPlaying `MediaSession` for
`perry/media`, with the MediaPlayer path retained for older SDKs. Its
`perry-runtime/src/thread.rs` change is additive: `queue_thread_result`
now delegates to `queue_thread_result_with_mode(..., is_rejection:
false)`, so existing behaviour is unchanged, and
`queue_promise_string_rejection` is new.

Three mechanical fixes on top:

- #8699's two new thread-locals in `perry-ui-ios/src/adaptive_layout.rs`
  (`LISTENERS`, `LAST_SNAPSHOT`) failed the root-holder gate. They hold a
  NaN-boxed JS callback, so they are NOT `not_a_gc_pointer`; they are
  recorded on the ledger FRONTIER, matching the 466 existing perry-ui-*
  entries of the same shape (including a byte-identical
  `perry-ui-ios/src/network.rs: LISTENERS`). No UI crate registers a GC
  scanner today -- a real, pre-existing, systemic gap, tracked separately
  rather than papered over with a false verdict here.
- `collect_modules.rs` (1984 on main, +27) crossed the file-size cap;
  `collect_module_finish` moved to `collect_modules/finish.rs`.
- `build_and_run.rs` (1995 on main, +6) crossed it too; the
  `if is_watchos` arm body moved to `link/watchos_frameworks.rs`.

Also removes two unused imports that my own #8688 static-fields split
left in `codegen/helpers.rs`. No version bump.
