Follow-up work on top of the merged cpyext slice (#1180), plus two defects the linux CPython-suite gate surfaced.

Constructor arguments went stale across __new__

type_descr_call_with_mode pinned neither the type nor its arguments, and call_with_kwargs_in_ctx pinned them at entry but then forwarded the incoming slices raw. Both build the __init__ argument list after __new__ has run Python code, so a minor collection during __new__ left the forwarded slice holding pre-move addresses. __init__ stored one of those into an instance attribute, and the next collection tripped over it through the remembered set:

GC BUG: invalid type_id=... site=minor_varsize_item_target,
parent_site=minor_remembered_set   (majit-gc/src/collector.rs:2777)

type_descr_call_impl already had the correct shape; the other two now match it and read every argument back through pyre_object::gc_roots.

Measured on linux-aarch64 with PYRE_NO_JIT=1 PYPY_GC_NURSERY=131072:

probe before after
__new__ churns, __init__ does sink.append(x) identity mismatch, then GC BUG 0
__new__ churns, __init__ does self.got = x identity mismatch, then GC BUG 0
churn inside __init__, then setattr (control) 0 0
churn, then plain setattr (control) 0 0

test.test_unittest under PYRE_NO_JIT=1 goes from abort to Ran 1090 tests ... OK. A separate JIT-side defect with the same symptom remains — it is not addressed here.

A symbol resolving to address 0 was reported as found

dlsym reports a miss by returning NULL, and a resolver that itself returns NULL leaves dlerror unset, so lookup_function_symbol_addr reported success with address 0. rdynload.dlsym rejects that.

  • _ctypes: the unix lookup_symbol now rejects it, and _ctypes.dlsym goes through lookup_symbol instead of calling the host lookup directly. Fixes test_ctypes.test_dlerror.test_null_dlsym on the gate.
  • cpyext: load_extension_module transmuted the looked-up address to the init signature unchecked, so address 0 became a call through a null pointer.

Also here

Verification

  • cargo fmt --check clean
  • cargo test --all --no-default-features --features dynasm — 7820 passed, 0 failed
  • linux-aarch64 CPython suite: test_ctypes loses the test_null_dlsym failure; the remaining gate regressions (test_dllist, test_fileio, test_dataclasses, and the JIT-side test_unittest crash) are pre-existing on main and are follow-up work.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change improves moving-GC safety in nursery allocation, slice assignment, and call dispatch. It also updates cpyext fork handling, extension loading and metadata, Python version macros, dynamic-module signatures, and JIT loop-close restart handling.

Changes

Nursery allocation GC safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Register-preserving nursery slowpaths
majit/majit-backend-dynasm/src/aarch64/assembler.rs, majit/majit-backend-dynasm/src/x86/assembler.rs
Variable-size allocation paths spill managed registers, publish GC maps, restore forwarded registers, and preserve the allocation result.
Rooted slice assignment
pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/baseobjspace.rs
Slice assignment reloads rooted values around allocation points and scopes per-item roots during extended-slice stores.

Call dispatch GC safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rooted call argument reconstruction
pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/call.rs, pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/eval.rs
Call dispatch rebuilds arguments from GC roots, and the cpyext root cast now has a size and alignment assertion.
Rooted type construction
pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/call.rs
Type construction reloads the type, instance, and arguments across metaclass, __new__, and __init__ dispatch.

cpyext extension compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fork-safe cpyext state
pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs
Fork-aware locks protect extension, raw-object, cache, and package-context state.
Extension symbol and module loading
pyre/pyre-interpreter/include/pyre3.14/Python.h, pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs, pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/module/_ctypes/interp_ctypes.rs, pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/module/imp/interp_imp.rs
Initialization symbols are validated, stateless modules are accepted, the Python version is updated to 3.14.6, and create_dynamic accepts spec and file.
Extension module metadata
pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/importing.rs
Extension modules receive importlib metadata, while loaded modules and package paths remain rooted during setup.

JIT loop resume handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conditional loop handback
pyre/pyre-jit-trace/src/trace.rs, pyre/pyre-jit/src/eval.rs
Loop-close restart PCs are omitted for loop-header resumes, and mapdict tracing documentation describes GC-managed stable storage.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔴 Critical · up to ea415

The PR still passes heap pointers captured before allocation points in constructor/descriptor calls and extension-module setup; garbage collection can make them stale, causing incorrect behavior or crashes. These unresolved correctness issues make the current head unsafe to merge until fixed.

Poem

A rabbit guards the moving heap,
While roots hold tight through calls deep.
Registers rest in frames so bright,
Extensions load with symbols right.
The loop resumes, the paths align—
Hop, hop, GC safety shines!

P2 Badge Keep create_dynamic parameters positional-only

Setting posonlyargcount to 0 makes bind_kwargs_to_signature accept calls such as _imp.create_dynamic(spec=my_spec) and _imp.create_dynamic(my_spec, file=None), whereas _imp.create_dynamic rejects all keyword arguments and only permits file as an optional second positional argument. Set the positional-only count to 2 while retaining the new two-parameter signature.

1. Regressions to PyPy parity introduced by this patch

None.

2. Other mismatches introduced by this patch

None.

3. Pre-existing mismatches (already present before this patch)

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs:133 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/state.py:44 — Pyre’s extension-dictionary cache is process-global; PyPy owns extensions on the per-object-space State. Separate interpreter spaces therefore share Pyre’s cached extension module dictionaries.

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs:144 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/state.py:40 — Pyre’s PACKAGE_CONTEXT is process-global, while PyPy keeps it per object space. Concurrent or nested extension initialization in distinct interpreter spaces can use the wrong name/path context.

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs:563 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/modsupport.py:84 — Pyre rejects every non-empty PyMethodDef table; PyPy calls convert_method_defs and installs those module methods.

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs:569 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/modsupport.py:91 — Pyre rejects positive m_size; PyPy allocates zeroed per-module state for it.

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs:570 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/modsupport.py:102 — Pyre rejects all m_slots multi-phase modules; PyPy parses and executes supported PEP 489 slots.

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs:487 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/api.py:1927 — Pyre treats a PyModuleDef result from PyInit_* as unsupported; PyPy recognizes it and creates the module from its definition and spec.

4. Structural adaptations

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/baseobjspace.rs:3712 ↔ pypy/objspace/std/listobject.py:708 — explicit Rust shadow-stack rooting replaces PyPy’s traced object references while slice assignment can allocate/collect. This is a fundamental moving-GC implementation-language adaptation.

  • majit/majit-backend-dynasm/src/x86/assembler.rs:4537 ↔ rpython/jit/backend/x86/assembler.py:2589 — generated DynASM explicitly spills/restores registers and installs a gcmap around the variable-size allocation helper, replacing PyPy’s generated SlowPath object machinery.

  • majit/majit-backend-dynasm/src/aarch64/assembler.rs:3505 ↔ rpython/jit/backend/aarch64/assembler.py:621 — generated DynASM explicitly publishes register roots around the collecting allocation helper, rather than using PyPy’s RPython slow-path builder.

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/cpyext.rs:218 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/api.py:1897 — rebuilding Rust mutex words after fork() is a free-threading/GIL adaptation; PyPy relies on its GIL/object-space synchronization.

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/importing.rs:1271 ↔ pypy/module/cpyext/api.py:1937 — Pyre additionally initializes extension-module __loader__, __package__, and __spec__ through importlib. This is a CPython-3.14 observable-spec adaptation: lib-python/3/test/test_importlib/extension/test_loader.py:63-68 asserts the extension module metadata, while PyPy’s cpyext path only performs fixup_extension. No relevant PyPy JIT/GC/annotator hint governs these metadata fields.

P1 Badge Store the conditional handback value

When a CloseLoop has no distinct marker (restart_pc == loop_header_pc) and the end-state flush declines, handback_pc correctly becomes None, but it is never used: the following statement still stores Some(restart_pc). The portal consequently resumes at the loop header while retaining pre-walk locals, producing a frame whose program counter and values represent different execution points and potentially causing incorrect exceptions in JIT-compiled loops; store handback_pc in WALK_END_RESTART_PC instead.

Root and reload w_insttype before descriptor binding.

lookup_in_type can collect. The w_insttype values created at Lines 3055 and 5009 can then be forwarded before Lines 3084 and 5020 pass them to baseobjspace::get. Pin w_insttype before the lookup and reload its root slot for both the lookup and baseobjspace::get, or derive it again from the rooted instance after the lookup. Otherwise, a non-function __init__ descriptor can receive a stale heap-type address.

lookup_init_address discards the lookup failure reason.

Err(_) and Ok(0) collapse to None. Both call sites then report function {symbol} not found in library. A LibraryNotFound or LibraryClosed handle therefore reports a missing symbol instead of a missing library, which is misleading during extension-load debugging.

crate::module::_ctypes::interp_ctypes::lookup_symbol (lines 428-444 of that file) already implements the same address-0 rule and preserves the error kind. Consider returning Result<usize, LookupSymbolError> here and mapping the kind into the message.

set_extension_module_spec cannot fail, but its signature says it can.

Every fallible step uses let Ok(...) = ... else { return Ok(()) } or discards the result with let _. No path returns Err. The Result<(), crate::PyError> return type therefore makes both call sites use ? for an error that never occurs.

The best-effort behavior matches the doc comment and set_builtin_module_spec, so this is only about the declared type. If the intent is to keep the signature aligned with set_builtin_module_spec, keep it and state that in the doc comment.

Read the rooted module after pinning and allocation. In both extension-module paths, module is stored in a shadow-stack slot but the plain pre-pin local is passed to set_extension_module_spec and returned after module_ns_store. If either operation relocates the object, these uses can pass a stale pointer. Read pyre_object::gc_roots::shadow_stack_get(module_slot) at both sites and return the rooted value.

In `@pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/importing.rs` around lines 3125 - 3130, Update the
direct extension-module branch to pass the rooted value from
shadow_stack_get(module_slot) into set_extension_module_spec after pinning
module, matching the ExtensionPackage branch and avoiding use of the pre-pin
local.

Apply the same fix in `@pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/importing.rs` around lines 3159
- 3165: The same pre-pin local is returned after module_ns_store.

`run_perfn_walk` set `WALK_END_RESTART_PC` for every `CloseLoop`. The
portal consumes that cell only on the leg where the walk-end flush
declined, and a decline keeps the legacy replay, whose contract is that
the frame still holds pre-walk state. Applying the resume pc there moved
`last_instr` and `valuestackdepth` to the loop header while the locals
stayed at the trace entry, so the frame carried values from two points at
once: `_process_class` resumed with `cmp_fields` unbound and `field`
holding a bound method pushed ~14 lines later, raising
`TypeError: 'str' object is not an iterator` at dataclasses.py:1170.

Set the cell only when the resume pc differs from the loop header — the
marker legs it was added for (#698), where a loop-header marker inside a
super-instruction leaves the frame advanced past the header.

Reproduced on darwin-aarch64 and linux-aarch64 with a 15-line dataclass
loop under `PYRE_JIT="threshold=3,function_threshold=3"`; green after the
change at thresholds 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 20, 40, 80 and 200.

Replace the three cpyext tables' `LazyLock<Mutex<..>>` with a `ForkMutex<T>`
whose lock word `after_fork_child` rebuilds in place, keeping the payload: the
child inherits the parent's mappings, so the loaded libraries and the raw-mirror
census must survive while only the stale lock word is replaced.

Seed `__spec__`/`__loader__`/`__package__`/`__file__` on a natively resolved
extension module from `_bootstrap_external.spec_from_file_location`, the way the
source and builtin branches of the same `load_part` already do.

Accept `create_dynamic(spec, file)`: the fixed arity of 1 rejected the two-
argument call with a TypeError before the loader ran.

Accept `m_size == 0` in `PyModule_Create2` alongside `-1`; neither allocates
per-module state.

Set `PY_VERSION_HEX` to `0x030E06F0`, matching `sys.hexversion`. The previous
`0x030E0000` sorts below `0x030E00F0` (3.14.0 final).

Root `path_list` before the `__path__` store, which allocates.

Assert `PyObjectRef` and `majit_ir::GcRef` have the same size and alignment at
the root-forwarding cast.

`type_descr_call_with_mode` pinned neither the type nor its arguments, and
`call_with_kwargs_in_ctx` pinned them at entry but then forwarded the
incoming slices raw. Both build the `__init__` argument list after `__new__`
has run Python code, so a minor collection during `__new__` left the
forwarded slice holding pre-move addresses; `__init__` stored one of those
into an instance attribute, and the next collection tripped over it through
the remembered set.

Both paths now read the type and every argument back through
`pyre_object::gc_roots`, which is the shape `type_descr_call_impl` already
used.

`dlsym` reports a miss by returning NULL, and a resolver that itself returns
NULL leaves `dlerror` unset, so `lookup_function_symbol_addr` reported
success with address 0. The unix `lookup_symbol` now rejects that, matching
`rdynload.dlsym`, and `_ctypes.dlsym` goes through `lookup_symbol` instead of
calling the host lookup directly.

Assisted-by: Claude
`load_extension_module` transmuted the looked-up address to the init
signature without checking it, so a symbol resolving to NULL became a call
through a null pointer.

`mapdict_storage_custom_trace`'s doc called `storage` an off-GC
`Box<Vec<PyObjectRef>>` and said `instance_walk_boxed_storage` consults
the map to skip erased unboxed slots.  Neither holds: `storage` is a
GC-managed leaf block allocated stable and non-moving by
`alloc_mapdict_storage_block`, and the walk iterates `0..capacity`
unconditionally, which `erase_unboxed` licenses by storing an ordinary
`GC_INT_ARRAY` reference in the slot.

`CallMallocNurseryVarsize` stored a null gcmap into the jitframe before
calling `dynasm_nursery_slowpath_varsize`, which can collect.  A null
gcmap tells the collector the frame holds no references, so the slots
the register allocator spilled into (it uses `SAVE_ALL_REGS` here) are
not traced and the values they hold are not forwarded.  The fixed-size
siblings (`CallMallocNursery` / `CallMallocNurseryHeaderless` /
`CallMallocNurseryVarsizeFrame`) already push
`pending_malloc_nursery_gcmap` and spill the registers into the jitframe
slots the gcmap's bits name; this brings the varsize path to the same
shape on both backends.

The register allocator already attaches a gcmap to this op through
`perform_with_gcmap`, so the value was available and unused.

This does not change the `-m test.test_unittest` GC crash: 5/5 runs
before and after the change abort with the same `GC BUG: invalid
type_id`.  A constant-length array lowers through `gen_malloc_nursery`
(the `total_size >= 0` arm of `handle_new_array`), not this op.

`STORE_SUBSCR` pops the container, key and value off the value stack
before dispatching, so the frame no longer roots any of them.
`setitem_list_slice` then held all three as bare addresses across
`slice_unpack` (which honors `__index__`), `collect_iterable` (which runs
the iterable's own Python code) and the two `w_list_new` allocations.
Publish the operands on the shadow stack at entry and re-read each after
every step that can collect; the extended-slice loop brackets its item
root per iteration rather than pushing one root per element.

Measured with `MAJIT_GC_NURSERY_POISON=1` on `-m test.test_unittest`,
aarch64 Linux: before the change 3/3 runs abort in
`switch_to_object_strategy` on a receiver whose header and body both read
the poison fill; after it, 0/5 and the suite reaches
`Ran 1090 tests ... OK`. `PYRE_NO_JIT=1` reproduces the same abort at the
same site, so the window is in the interpreter.

This does not change the `GC BUG: invalid type_id` abort on the same
fixture: 5/5 runs with poison off before and after.

P2 Badge Reinitialize zero-sized extension modules

When a single-phase extension declares m_size == 0, accepting it here routes it through the same EXTENSIONS cache as an m_size == -1 module. On a subsequent fresh load, load_extension_module() returns the copied dictionary at cpyext.rs:410-430 without invoking PyInit_* again, but CPython requires modules with m_size >= 0 to load fresh each time, as exercised by lib-python/3/test/test_import/__init__.py:3137-3155. This suppresses initializer side effects and returns stale module state; zero-sized definitions must bypass that cache or carry reinitialization metadata.
