What

PyFrame::push wrote the stack slot and the depth through the caller's &mut self. An opcode body that allocates between its pop and its push can relocate a JIT-created frame, so both writes landed on the abandoned nursery copy — the failure recorded as GC BUG: invalid type_id=4294967254 site=remember_young_pointer_insert.

push now resolves the frame through gc_current_object_address before either write. That is the one-word form of the livevar reload RPython's GC transform performs at every safepoint; pyre-object's current_gc_ref already cites the same rule for the descended list-append body.

Why not more anchors

#1359 fixed this class by taking a FrameAnchor at each call site and pushing through it, applied to 8 helpers in shared_opcode.rs. pypy/interpreter/pyopcode.py gives BUILD_LIST, unaryoperation and binaryoperation the identical pop -> allocating op -> pushvalue shape, and anchor|refetch|forwarded has zero hits across pyopcode.py + pyframe.py — upstream needs no anchor anywhere, because RPython updates self for free.

So the per-site anchor is scaffolding with no upstream counterpart that has to be replicated by hand, and it had already rotted: 14 helpers in pyopcode.rs still carried the unfixed shape, among them opcode_unary_negative, opcode_binary_op, opcode_compare_op and opcode_for_iter. Disassembling the shipped binary found 26 sites in eval_loop_jit still emitting bl <allocating call> / ldp x0, xN, [x24, #0x20] / bl set_ref.

Reloading inside push closes all of them at once and lets the generic bodies return to upstream's shape. opcode_build_list is now literally pypy's BUILD_LIST.

eval.rs still carries 38 now-redundant push_anchored call sites; removing those and the trait scaffolding is left for a separate change.

Verification

extra_tests/parity_tests/re_jit_call_resume.py, darwin-arm64, PYPY_GC_MIN=268435456, 10 runs per size, both arms measured in the same load window:

nursery pre-anchor control this branch
16384 10/10 crash 0/10
32768 10/10 minor_custom_trace_target 0/10
49152 0/10 0/10
65536 10/10 remember_young_pointer_insert 0/10
98304 0/10 0/10

The control still crashes, so the clean arm is a result and not a quiet harness.

Baselines

Ten synth benches move because the anchor's shadow-stack push/pop leaves the traced bodies. Each recorded value is bit-identical over five runs, so none is the bimodal kind that must not be recorded. --synthetic-only kept the top-level suite out; the 624 files that gained only retraces_compiled=0 were reverted.

check.py

dynasm 450/450, wasm 443/443, cranelift 449/450.

The one failure is a ratio gate, not a correctness or jitstats gate: synth/generator_tree_recursion on cranelift straddles its max-pypy-ratio=7.6 (8.8x / 7.5x / 11.6x over three reps on a machine at load 29-93). It is not attributable to this branch — interleaving the fixture across four cranelift binaries puts this one fastest:

arm median
this branch 741 ms
perf-bridge 758 ms
perf-exc 778 ms
ec-wiring 849 ms

dynasm passes the same fixture in every rep. The gate is left untouched.

Walkthrough

PyFrame::push now follows GC forwarding before updating stack state. Interpreter opcode handlers now push iterators, attributes, null values, call results, and constructed objects directly through push_value instead of anchored insertion.

Changes

Interpreter stack safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reload relocated frames
pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/pyframe.rs
PyFrame::push reloads the current frame before validating the stack and updating its contents and depth.
Use direct opcode pushes
pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/pyopcode.rs, pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/shared_opcode.rs
Opcode handlers push results directly through push_value for iteration, special-method loading, function creation, calls, collection construction, unpacking, and attribute loading.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9cedb

This change reloads the frame before stack writes to prevent stale-frame updates during allocation; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a stack to tend,
GC moved the frame, but not the end.
Anchors hop away; direct pushes stay,
Calls and tuples line up in array.
Hop, hop—safe values lead the way!

P1 Badge Reload the frame from a durable root

When an allocating opcode such as CALL or a user-defined __iter__ triggers a minor collection and then keeps allocating long enough to reuse the moved-from nursery slot before returning, this lookup still starts from the original stale &mut self. gc_current_object_address can only follow a forwarding header that remains at that address, while MiniMarkGC::reset_nursery_with_pinned makes moved-from ranges immediately reusable; once overwritten, push writes through an abandoned or unrelated frame and corrupts the value stack. The removed FrameAnchor remained updated across every collection, so the centralized replacement must reload from a durable root/current-frame slot or implement the actual GC live-variable update rather than recover through stale nursery bytes.

Update the SharedOpcodeHandler::Anchor documentation.

push_value delegates to PyFrame::push, which reloads the live frame with live_mut; the affected opcode sites do not need per-opcode anchors. State that Anchor and push_anchored remain for the interpreter paths that use them explicitly.

4. Structural adaptations

  • pyre/pyre-interpreter/src/pyframe.rs:3187 ↔ pypy/interpreter/pyframe.py:363 — PyPy’s pushvalue directly writes through self; pyre first resolves a possibly forwarded moving-GC frame, then performs the same slot write and depth increment. This is a Rust/manual-GC-rooting accommodation, not an observable opcode difference. The changed shared opcode paths now retain PyPy’s pop; operation; pushvalue shape (for example, shared_opcode.rs:76 ↔ pypy/interpreter/pyopcode.py:1445, pyopcode.rs:728 ↔ pypy/interpreter/pyopcode.py:1298).

…ach opcode

`PyFrame::push` wrote the stack slot and the depth through the caller's
`&mut self`. An opcode body that allocates between its `pop` and its `push`
can relocate a JIT-created frame, so both writes landed on the abandoned
nursery copy.

`push` now resolves the frame through `gc_current_object_address` before
either write. That is the one-word form of the livevar reload RPython's GC
transform performs at every safepoint; `pyre-object`'s `current_gc_ref` cites
the same rule for the descended list-append body.

With the reload in place the per-call-site anchors are redundant, so
`opcode_make_function`, `opcode_call`, `opcode_build_list`,
`opcode_build_tuple`, `opcode_build_map`, `opcode_unpack_sequence`,
`opcode_load_attr`, `opcode_get_iter` and `load_special` return to the
`pop; op; push` shape `pypy/interpreter/pyopcode.py` uses. The 14 helpers in
`pyopcode.rs` that never took an anchor — among them `opcode_unary_negative`,
`opcode_binary_op`, `opcode_compare_op` and `opcode_for_iter` — reach the same
reload through `push_value`.

`eval.rs` still carries 38 `push_anchored` call sites; they are now redundant
and are left for a separate change.

Measured on darwin-arm64 with `PYPY_GC_MIN=268435456`, 10 runs per size of
`extra_tests/parity_tests/re_jit_call_resume.py`: a pre-anchor binary fails
10/10 at nursery 16384, 32768 and 65536 and passes at 49152 and 98304; this
build is 0/10 at all five.
