sys._getframe(n) with n > 0 from an inlined MIFrame was residual: the walker
declined as soon as the recording-time f_backref chain crossed a
JitVirtualRef, so the specialized arm covered only depth 0. The generic
residual then forced the published callee frame and the loop aborted.

What changed

try_walker_specialize_sys_getframe now walks the whole concrete chain
before emitting anything, and admits a vref hop when the vref is still one of
MetaInterp.virtualref_boxes. For each such hop it runs the orthodox bracket
around the concrete force — vrefs_before_residual_call, the
CALL_MAY_FORCE + GUARD_NOT_FORCED, then vrefs_after_residual_call, which
publishes VIRTUAL_REF_FINISH(vref, virtual) and replaces the tracked vref
with CONST_NULL (pyjitpl.py handle_possible_exception neighbourhood:
vable_and_vrefs_before_residual_call / vrefs_after_residual_call). With that
proof in the trace, optimize_jit_force_virtual forwards the force to the
paired virtual frame instead of materialising a vref with a null forced
field, and the JIT_FORCE_VIRTUAL/GUARD_NOT_FORCED pair leaves the optimized
loop.

Two supporting resolvers on TraceCtx: live_virtualref_pair_for_ptr and
virtualref_virtual_for_object_ptr, which still finds the virtual box of a
pair whose vref half stop_tracking_virtualref has already replaced with
CONST_NULL. Both read a pair's address back through concrete_of_opref
rather than through the usize pushed beside the box: that copy is the address
the object had at push time, and a minor collection relocates the object and
forwards the box's stamp, which is the hazard opimpl_virtual_ref_finish
documents on the same list.

The chain census is all-or-nothing and runs before the first emission, so a
decline never leaves the residual getframe a shorter chain than the
interpreter's. It also declines on a hidden_applevel frame, because
ExecutionContext.getnextframe_nohidden skips those without consuming a depth
level and the emitted per-hop shape consumes one per raw f_backref.

Scope of the positive-depth admission. It is gated on the walk landing on
the standard portal frame whose result is immediately consumed by f_locals
statically preflighted by next_op_is_f_locals_for_getframe_result. That getter
only constructs the write-through proxy and never reads fast locals, so it
crosses no residual boundary. Generic positive-depth consumers, and inline
f_lineno / f_lasti, stay residual: their single live-coordinate slot cannot
describe a nested caller chain. try_walker_specialize_load_attr's f_locals
arm accordingly accepts a second provable receiver — the standard virtualizable,
gated on both its red box and its concrete pointer, so no arbitrary inline
callee collapses onto the portal anchor.

The locals write-back. pyframe.py fast2locals is @jit.unroll_safe, so
upstream reads the virtualizable BOXES and never forces; pyre answers f_locals
with the 3.14 FrameLocalsProxy, which reads the frame's array lazily. Folding
the getter therefore has to emit virtualizable.py write_boxes for the
locals/cells region itself (vable_array_region_write_back), mirroring
gen_store_back_in_vable's array loop. Without it every local the traced body
assigned read back unbound.

optimizeopt/heap.rs field_slot_index — a field descriptor the parent's
slot list does not place fell back to Descr::index(). Every
VirtualizableInfo field descriptor is minted with index 0, so the
array-pointer read the write-back emits shared a PtrInfo slot with the vable
token store and was answered with the force token; the write-back then stored
through it. dynasm tolerated the bad base, cranelift deopted every iteration,
and wasm — which bounds-checks linear memory — crashed. Unplaced descriptors now
key by offset in a band of their own.

optimizer.rsdrain_extra_operations_from discarded the level's pending
queue when the drain returned InvalidLoop. InvalidLoop unwinds the recursive
Rust drain in place of RPython's exception unwinding, so the operations the
failing propagation emitted, plus this level's untouched tail, must stay visible
to the caller's unwind. They now move to extra_operations_after.

Measured

Uniform across dynasm, cranelift and wasm:

fixture loops_compiled loops_aborted guard_failures bh adopted
getframe_bridge_force_after_store_declined — (+1 bridge) 20 → 0 4114 → 201 20 → 0
getframe_bridge_force_plain_declined — (+1 bridge) 20 → 0 4114 → 201 20 → 0
getframe_inline_subwalk_multiframe 5 → 0 0 → 1 5 → 0
getframe_residual_callee_own_frame_declined 1 → 2 5 → 0 5 → 0
getframe_root_loop_force_blackhole_crn_declined 0 → 1 5 → 0 0 → 1 5 → 0
..._crn_nonidempotent_declined 0 → 1 5 → 0 0 → 5 5 → 0

getframe_inline_subwalk_multiframe is the regression fixture for the new path:
leaf reads _getframe(0).f_locals["x"] and _getframe(2).f_locals["base"],
so collapsing either lookup onto the portal loses a distinct name.

The field_slot_index change is in the shared heap optimizer, so its blast
radius was measured rather than assumed: one binary carrying both fallbacks
behind a switch, run over every synthetic fixture whose jit-stats differ from
its baseline on the development host (18 on dynasm). All 18 read byte-identical
under both fallbacks
— the only fixture the change moves is
getframe_inline_subwalk_multiframe (cranelift guard_failures 9480 → 1,
loops_compiled 2 → 1; wasm from a crash to a clean run).

The five *_declined fixtures keep their historical names; each header records
what its shape now does and why the _declined half of the name is history.

Reviewer findings

P2, hidden frames in the census — fixed; see the census paragraph above.

P2, virtualref pairs resolved through a pushed address — fixed; see the
resolvers paragraph above.

P1, proxy/shadow coherence — real, and pre-existing on main, not
introduced here. p["x"] = 999 through a retained FrameLocalsProxy lands in
the frame array while a later compiled LOAD_FAST still reads the vable shadow.
Measured: gating the f_locals arm to the inline receiver only — i.e.
removing this PR's standard-virtualizable admission entirely — still reproduces
it, so the defect belongs to the inline-callee arm already on main. Scoped
measurement of the divergence: only proxy.__setitem__ diverges;
read-after-STORE_FAST, len(p), del p[...] and the locals() snapshot all
agree with PYRE_JIT=off and CPython. Closing it needs either a de-virtualized
frame for the proxy's lifetime — which is the residual force this fold exists to
avoid — or a proof that the proxy cannot outlive the fold point; both are larger
than this PR and neither is a regression from it.

CI

Of the five gate failures on the previous head, two were this branch's and are
fixed by the field_slot_index change: cranelift getframe_inline_subwalk_multiframe (guard_failures 1 → 9480, red on all three
runners) and wasm getframe_inline_subwalk_multiframe (crash, exit 1).

The other three are ubuntu-only ratio gates. A sibling PR (#1404, whose base is
an ancestor of this branch's) is the control:

fixture here sibling #1404 note
wasm str_getitem_len_hot 3.7x > 3.5x FAIL 3.6x > 3.5x FAIL red on both
cranelift mapdict_frozen_unboxing_fold ?91.3x, FAIL at 100.9x ?35.2x, no FAIL ? = pypy exec under the floor-gate baseline; pypy 0.01s here vs 0.05s there, our own exec 1.16s vs 1.61s
dynasm dict_update_hot 17.2x, FAIL at 16.0x 14.2x pypy 0.12s vs 0.20s; the fixture sits on its 15x gate and has flipped on other branches

In all three the pyre-side absolute time is lower than the control's; what
moved is the denominator.

Notes

Rebased onto origin/main after #1399. Every upstream citation this branch adds
names a symbol; scripts/check-new-line-citations.py --base origin/main is
clean.

A third commit on this branch fixed the two dead-token warmstate fixtures; it
was dropped during the rebase as a duplicate of #1398, which had landed the same
fix. The resolution was verified byte-identical to origin/main.

Walkthrough

The change updates optimizer slot namespaces and failed-operation recovery. It adds virtual-reference lookup and virtualizable array write-back. _getframe and f_locals specialization now support standard frames, tracked references, and synchronized frame state. Synthetic benchmark expectations are updated.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ef91e

The PR enables nested frame and locals access, but its array write-back path may leave cached aliases with stale frame-local values until the cache is updated. This is a bounded correctness risk requiring owner awareness or follow-up, but it is not currently supported as release-blocking.

1. Regressions to PyPy parity introduced by this patch

None.

2. Other mismatches introduced by this patch

  • pyre/pyre-jit-trace/src/jitcode_dispatch/specialize.rs:2696 ↔ pypy/interpreter/pyframe.py:525 — the new folded f_locals path constructs a FrameLocalsProxy; PyPy’s getdictscope() executes fast2locals() and returns debugdata.w_locals, a dict. CPython 3.14 does support proxy write-through (lib-python/3/test/test_frame.py:325-330), but this cannot be filed as a structural CPython-spec exception: PyPy’s immediately invoked helper is explicitly @jit.unroll_safe at pypy/interpreter/pyframe.py:539, a JIT hint governing the changed value/trace shape.

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

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/pyframe.rs:2888 ↔ pypy/interpreter/pyframe.py:525 — optimized pyre frames already expose FrameLocalsProxy, while PyPy exposes the cached dictionary returned by getdictscope(). This predates the patch because pyframe.rs is not in the authoritative changed-file list. CPython 3.14’s write-through behavior is evidenced by lib-python/3/test/test_frame.py:325-347, but PyPy’s fast2locals has the governing @jit.unroll_safe annotation at pypy/interpreter/pyframe.py:539; therefore it does not qualify for section 4 under the supplied rule.

4. Structural adaptations

  • majit/majit-metainterp/src/optimizeopt/heap.rs:1052 ↔ rpython/jit/metainterp/optimizeopt/info.py:203 — Rust uses an offset-based reserved slot for descriptors absent from a parent field list, whereas RPython indexes PtrInfo._fields directly with fielddescr.get_index(). This is a representation adaptation for Rust descriptors that can be minted without a usable parent slot; it prevents collisions among descriptors whose Rust index() is the common placeholder zero, while preserving the upstream field-identity/cache separation.

P1 Badge Keep the portal proxy and virtualizable shadow synchronized

Folding f_locals for the standard frame performs only this one-time shadow-to-array write-back, but the returned FrameLocalsProxy remains live and reads and writes the frame array directly. For example, after p = sys._getframe().f_locals, a later x = 2 updates only the virtualizable shadow, so p["x"] can read the value present when the proxy was created; conversely, p["x"] = 2 updates the array while a subsequent compiled LOAD_FAST x still reads the old shadow. The standard-frame fold must either provide bidirectional synchronization for the proxy's lifetime or decline/escape the virtualizable.

P2 Badge Count only visible frames in the preflight walk

When an inline frame chain contains a hidden_applevel frame, this census decrements the requested depth once per raw f_backref, whereas ExecutionContext::getnextframe_nohidden skips hidden frames without consuming a depth level. A depth whose raw-hop endpoint happens to be the standard frame can therefore pass the positive-depth gate and return that frame even though _getframe(depth) should have continued to the next visible caller; other depths unnecessarily decline. The census and emitted traversal need to implement the same hidden-frame loop as getnextframe_nohidden.

Pushed dd0d15b1e86. Both reviewer findings and the two branch-attributable CI failures are addressed.

P2 — hidden frames in the census. Fixed in 42810821973: the preflight walk now declines outright when a hop lands on a hidden_applevel frame, because ExecutionContext.getnextframe_nohidden skips those without consuming a depth level while the emitted per-hop shape consumes one per raw f_backref. Declining is the conservative half of the two the finding names; implementing the skip loop in the emitted traversal is the other, and is not needed to make the gate sound.

P1 — proxy/shadow coherence. Real, and reproduces on main without this PR. Repro:

def g(n):
    x = n
    p = sys._getframe(0).f_locals
    p["x"] = 999
    return x

driven 4000 times yields {2, 999} under the JIT and {999} under PYRE_JIT=off and CPython. Gating try_walker_specialize_load_attr's f_locals arm to the inline receiver only — i.e. removing this PR's standard-virtualizable admission entirely — still reproduces it, so the defect belongs to the inline-callee arm already on main. Scoped: only proxy.__setitem__ diverges; read-after-STORE_FAST, len(p), del p[...] and the locals() snapshot all agree with the interpreter. Closing it needs either a de-virtualized frame for the proxy's lifetime — the residual force this fold exists to avoid — or a proof that the proxy cannot outlive the fold point.

CI. Of the five gate failures on the previous head, two were this branch's, and they had one root cause. OptHeap::field_slot_index answered a field descriptor the parent's slot list does not place with Descr::index(); every VirtualizableInfo field descriptor is minted with index 0, so the vable token store and the array-pointer read the new write-back emits shared a PtrInfo slot, and the read came back with the force token. dynasm tolerated the bad base, cranelift deopted every iteration (guard_failures 1 -> 9480, red on all three runners), and wasm — which bounds-checks linear memory — exited 1. getframe_inline_subwalk_multiframe now reads loops_compiled=1 guard_failures=1 on dynasm, cranelift and wasm alike, matching its recorded baselines; check.py --backend wasm --synthetic-pattern 'getframe_*' is 27/27.

That change is in the shared heap optimizer, so its blast radius was measured rather than argued: one binary carrying both fallbacks behind a switch, run over every synthetic fixture whose jit-stats differ from its baseline on the development host (18 on dynasm). All 18 read byte-identical under both fallbacks, so the change moves exactly one fixture — the one it fixes.

The remaining three are ubuntu-only ratio gates, and #1404 (base an ancestor of this branch's) is the control: wasm str_getitem_len_hot is red there too (3.6x vs our 3.7x, gate 3.5x); cranelift mapdict_frozen_unboxing_fold carries the ? marker on both runs — pypy's own exec was 0.01s here against 0.05s there — and dynasm dict_update_hot sits on its 15x gate with pypy at 0.12s here against 0.20s there. In all three the pyre-side absolute time is lower than the control's; what moved is the denominator.

P2 Badge Resolve moved virtual frames through their OpRef

When a minor GC runs after opimpl_virtual_ref records the pair, the frame can move while pair[0].1 remains the address captured when the pair was pushed; this same module explicitly documents that behavior in opimpl_virtual_ref_finish. For an already-stopped vref, try_walker_specialize_sys_getframe relies exclusively on this new lookup, so comparing the current vref_forced referent against the stale sidecar fails and declines the positive-depth specialization, restoring the residual force/trace abort that this change is intended to eliminate. Resolve each pair's current concrete identity through its red OpRef/concrete_of_opref stamp instead.

Pushed ef91ebe97ea, rebased onto 41d3ff671aa. Both new findings addressed; one skipped with a reason.

Codex P2 — moved virtual frames resolved through the pushed address. Fixed. live_virtualref_pair_for_ptr and virtualref_virtual_for_object_ptr compared against the usize pushed beside each virtualref_boxes box, which is the address the object had at push time; a minor collection relocates the object and forwards the box's stamp, leaving that copy naming the old address. This is the same hazard opimpl_virtual_ref_finish documents a few lines above, and it is now resolved the same way — through concrete_of_opref, pyre's getref_base() — with the pushed copy kept only for an entry that carries no stamp. All six getframe_* fixtures read identically before and after on dynasm and cranelift, so no recorded pair in the suite was stale; the fix is for the window, not for a fixture.

CodeRabbit — getframe_residual_callee_own_frame_declined header says one loop. Fixed. Its three baselines say loops_compiled=2. The sentence also asserted a PyPy loop count that nothing in the fixture measures, so it now states the recorded shape instead of attributing it to PyPy.

CodeRabbit — preflight accepts hops the emission loop rejects. Skipped, deliberately. The census accepts any non-null, non-hidden, non-vref hop while the emission loop accepts a non-vref hop only when it equals standard_vable_ptr; the finding notes this is safe today because the emission path rolls back through cut_trace_with_snapshots and declines. Tightening the census would be a strict subset — every chain it would newly reject is one emission already rejects — so it changes no outcome, only the point of decline. I would rather land that as its own change with its own fixture run than fold an untested gate narrowing into a PR whose gates are already green; a narrowed census that is wrong declines shapes that currently specialize, and nothing in this suite would show it.

Verification on this head, all three backends built from these sources: the six getframe_* fixtures match their recorded baselines on dynasm and cranelift, and check.py --backend wasm --synthetic-pattern 'getframe_*' is 27/27.

P1 Badge Journal the folded locals write-back before replay

When a standard-frame f_locals fold occurs during an authoritative walk that later takes a non-committed legacy-replay exit, this call eagerly overwrites the live frame array with mid-walk shadow values. Unlike the residual-force path, it never calls capture_escape_flush_undo; the walk epilogue therefore restarts from the pre-walk instruction while retaining future local values, which can skip or duplicate loop updates. Capture an undo before this concrete write or defer the write until the walk commits.

P1 Badge Register an undo before advancing the portal coordinate

When this positive-depth inline fold succeeds but the enclosing authoritative walk later declines, this assignment advances the live portal frame's last_instr directly. fbw_exit_last_instr_rollback can restore only writes registered in FBW_EXIT_LAST_INSTR_UNDO; this store registers nothing, and any later publication captures the already-advanced value, so legacy replay can resume at the caller call site rather than the pre-walk coordinate and skip earlier bytecodes. Route the write through the journaled publication mechanism or record the old coordinate first.

Add focused unit tests for the f_locals lookahead parser.

Existing fixtures cover valid end-to-end walks, but no test covers this parser or its rejection branches. Cover the bookkeeping skip-loop, i_len != 1, r_len != 2, and getframe_dst mismatches.

`try_walker_specialize_load_attr`'s `f_locals` arm folds the getter for the
standard virtualizable as well as for an inline callee's own frame. The
residual getter it replaces carries a read barrier, and that force was the
only writer of `locals_cells_stack_w` out of the virtualizable image. pyre's
`FrameLocalsProxy` reads that array rather than copying out of it at the call,
so a local the traced body had assigned read back UNBOUND and the proxy
dropped it -- `frame_inlined_callee_own_image_regression` reported `own_locals`
as `('x',)` once the trace compiled.

`pyframe.py fast2locals` is `@jit.unroll_safe`, so upstream reaches the same
mapping by reading the virtualizable boxes and neither forces nor touches the
array. The fold now performs the `pyjitpl.py synchronize_virtualizable`
(`virtualizable.py write_boxes`) write-back for the locals/cells region
itself, mirrored onto the recording-time frame and emitted into the trace
through the new `TraceCtx::vable_array_item_write_back`. A slot the shadow
cannot answer declines the whole write-back and the fold with it, leaving the
residual force; the validation pass runs before the first emission. The
operand-stack region above `nlocals` is not written back: it is unreachable
through the proxy and its shadow slots read NULL outside a merge point.

Re-records `blackhole_inlined_callee_local_after_escape_declined` on all three
backends: loops_aborted 5 -> 0, loops_compiled 1 -> 2,
fbw_blackhole_adopted_single_frame 5 -> 0.

`executioncontext.py getnextframe_nohidden` hops `f_backref` and then keeps
hopping while the result is hidden, without consuming a depth level. The
pre-emission census took exactly one raw hop per level, so it reproduces
`getframe`'s walk only on a chain that carries no hidden frame; the emitted
traversal already pins that with a per-hop `guard_false(hidden_applevel)`.

The census also left the emit loop's `unreachable!` reachable: that arm covers
a hidden hop, and nothing ahead of it had rejected one.

…locals region back

`OptHeap::field_slot_index` answered a field descriptor the parent's slot list
does not place with `Descr::index()`. Every `VirtualizableInfo` field
descriptor is minted with index 0, so the vable token store and the vable
array-pointer read shared one `PtrInfo` slot and the read was answered with the
force token. Give those descriptors a band of their own, keyed by offset.

`vable_array_item_write_back` becomes `vable_array_region_write_back`: it takes
`(element index, box)` pairs and emits one `getfield_gc_r` of
`array_pointer_field_descr` followed by a `setarrayitem_gc` per item, the shape
of `gen_store_back_in_vable`'s array loop, instead of one item through the
non-standard array-base read.

`walker_write_back_standard_frame_locals` collects the whole locals/cells
region and passes it in one call.

Measured on dynasm, cranelift and wasm: `getframe_inline_subwalk_multiframe`
reads `loops_compiled=1 guard_failures=1` on all three, where cranelift read
`loops_compiled=2 guard_failures=9480` and wasm exited 1. One binary carrying
both `field_slot_index` fallbacks behind a switch reads byte-identical jit-stats
on all 18 dynasm synthetic fixtures that differ from their baselines on this
host.

`live_virtualref_pair_for_ptr` and `virtualref_virtual_for_object_ptr` compared
against the `usize` pushed beside each `virtualref_boxes` box. That is the
address the object had when the pair was pushed, and a minor collection between
the push and the lookup relocates the object and forwards the box's stamp,
leaving the pushed copy naming the old address — the hazard
`opimpl_virtual_ref_finish` already documents on the same list. Both resolvers
now read the address through `concrete_of_opref`, falling back to the pushed
copy for an entry that carries no stamp.

`getframe_residual_callee_own_frame_declined`'s header said the shape reports
one loop; its three recorded baselines say `loops_compiled=2`.

Assisted-by: Claude
The tests seeded and read `PtrInfo._fields` at `descr.index()` / a literal `0`
while the code under test reaches the same entry through
`OptHeap::field_slot_index`. The two agreed until an unplaced field descriptor
stopped answering with `Descr::index()`, and the tests then seeded a slot no
reader consults.

`test_short_preamble_ref_field_preserves_getfield_opcode` builds its descriptor
with `make_field_descr`, which attaches no parent;
`test_exported_state_reimports_short_heap_field_facts` and its `const` sibling
attach a `make_size_descr(16)` parent whose `all_fielddescrs` is empty. Neither
parent places the field, so all three now key by offset.

P2 Badge Roll back the escaped flag when declining the walk

When this newly admitted positive-depth inline specialization succeeds but the enclosing authoritative walk later abandons its result for legacy replay, the concrete mark_as_escaped() near the end of this function has already permanently set FLAG_ESCAPED on the portal frame. No rollback journal covers that flag, so ExecutionContext::leave subsequently treats the discarded speculative lookup as a real escape, forces the frame/vref, and propagates the escaped state to its caller. Record and restore the old flag on non-committed exits, or defer the concrete mark until the walk commits.
