fix(runtime): make the all-f64 call trampoline unwindable while its callee runs (#9446) - #9497
Conversation
… callee runs (PerryTS#9446) `abi_trampoline::call_all_f64` lowers the stack pointer by a runtime amount to spill arguments past the eighth and leaves it there across the call; the frame description of the surrounding Rust function does not know, so on x86-64 Linux (no frame pointer) every unwinder stepping through the trampoline reads a garbage return address for its caller. Two witnesses, both red on the current trampolines and green once they carry their own frame: - `abi_trampoline::tests::unwind_through_the_trampoline::…` walks the stack with `_Unwind_Backtrace` from inside a 12-argument callee and requires the frames above the caller to be the ones the caller's own walk sees. On x86-64 Linux it dies with SIGSEGV inside libgcc's fallback frame probe — the same fault as the seeded cc crash. - `test-files/test_gap_9446_trampoline_unwind.ts` throws through a 9-parameter dynamically dispatched method and a 9-parameter class-expression constructor, and collects inside a 9-parameter dynamically dispatched method while the caller holds a young object. On x86-64 Linux the compiled program segfaults before its first line.
…allee runs (PerryTS#9446) The deterministic `PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED=1 PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=1` SIGSEGV on the Claude Code bundle at safepoint 4266 is libgcc's unwinder faulting inside the copying minor's native-root walk, one frame above `abi_trampoline::call_all_f64_x86_64`. The trampoline's FDE says `CFA = rsp+32` at the `call` while the inline asm has already lowered `rsp` by the spilled-argument area, so for any callee with more than eight f64 arguments the trampoline's return address is read from a spilled argument or a saved register. A mapped garbage address ends the walk there — every frame above the trampoline silently leaves the root set for that collection, and a `throw` inside the callee never reaches the `catch` above — and an unmapped one crashes the collector. Both trampolines are now naked functions that set `rbp` / `x29` from the entry stack pointer before anything moves, define the CFA off that register in their own `.cfi_startproc … .cfi_endproc` region, and drop the spill area through it after the call. The dynamic adjustment is then invisible to unwinding regardless of the compiler's frame-pointer choice (aarch64 was only ever safe because LLVM happened to keep one). Argument marshalling is unchanged; the directives are dropped on Windows ARM64, which unwinds through `.pdata` and uses shadow frames.

Windows ARM64 retains inline assembly with compiler-emitted SEH metadata. Tests cover unwinding, exceptions, GC preservation, stacked arguments, and dynamic dispatch. ChangesTrampoline unwind support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The runtime trampoline changes stack and exception unwinding, but the Windows ARM64 path still lacks validated unwind metadata and has not been tested on that platform. This could cause incorrect caller recovery during exceptions or stack walking, so the change needs a fix or explicit owner acceptance before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…iew) On Windows ARM64 unwinding is SEH: `js_throw` raises with `RaiseException` and the unwinder reads `.pdata`/`.xdata` codes the compiler emits for the prologue it generates. A naked trampoline carries none of that and would be treated as a leaf whose return address is the current `x30` — which the callee's `blr` has overwritten — so a throw through it could not find its handler. That target keeps the inline-`asm!` shape (its frame-chained prologue already makes the dynamic `sp` adjustment invisible to SEH); the naked, self-described frame is used on every DWARF-unwound target. Also drops the issue-triage paragraph from the changelog fragment; it lives in the PR and the issue.

Closes #9446.
The crash
PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED=1 PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=1on the Claude Code bundle dies with signal 11 at safepoint 4266, reproducibly. Under gdb the fault is inside libgcc's unwinder, called from the copying minor's native-root walk (_Unwind_Backtrace←run_copied_minor_attempt), and the frame chain breaks exactly atperry_runtime::abi_trampoline::call_all_f64_x86_64— the frame below it is0xa, andrax = 0xaat the faultingcmpb $0x48,(%rax), which is libgcc's fallback frame probe dereferencing a PC it derived from a garbage return address.The trampoline's own FDE explains it (
readelf -wFon the crashing binary):while the code between that rule and the call is
The trampoline lowers
rspby the runtime-sized spilled-argument area and leaves it there across the call, inside anasm!block the compiler's frame description knows nothing about. Any callee with more than eight f64 arguments (thiscounts; a synthesized capture-stashing constructor in a bundle has dozens) puts the return addressstack_bytesaway from where the FDE says it is. The callee in #9446's stack is OpenTelemetry'sLoggerProviderconstructor (a class inside a CommonJS module wrapper), reached through the runtime's vtable trampoline.What it costs beyond the seeded run
Every unwinder that steps through the trampoline while its callee runs reads the wrong slot:
gc/roots/stack_maps.rs): when the garbage is a mapped address the walk stops there and every frame above the trampoline is silently dropped from the root set for that collection — a young object the caller holds across the call is not copied and the caller later reads a recycled cell. When it is unmapped, the collector crashes as above._Unwind_RaiseException, the system unwinder on x86-64): athrowinside such a callee never reaches thecatchabove the trampoline.aarch64 never showed either because LLVM happened to keep a frame pointer for the trampoline function, so its CFA was
x29-relative. That is why this is a Linux-x86-64 finding.The fix
Both trampolines are now naked functions (
#[unsafe(naked)]+naked_asm!) that setrbp/x29from the entry stack pointer before anything moves, define the CFA off that register in their own.cfi_startproc … .cfi_endprocregion, and drop the spill area through it after the call. The dynamic adjustment is then invisible to unwinding on every target and under every frame-pointer setting, and the frame record is what a frame-pointer chain walk expects too. Argument marshalling is unchanged. The CFI directives are dropped on Windows ARM64 (COFF unwinds via.pdata; the runtime uses shadow frames there), where the frame-pointer prologue alone is the status quo plus a frame record.Evidence
