jit, jit-trace, metainterp: the portal's activation bracket and frame-chain leave, the recursive-call exception protocol, and the inline sub-walk green key - #1517

…t eval
`init_gc_root_walkers` ran only from `eval_with_jit_inner`, so the walkers
were absent for every collection that happened before the first Python
frame. `init_typeobjects` builds each builtin type object and its namespace
dict in that window; the type object is a `malloc_typed` block outside the
GC heap, so `walk_builtin_type_dicts_gc` is the only path the collector has
to those young dicts.
Call it at the tail of `init_gc_subsystem`, after
`initialize_rbigint_parts_cache`. The first-eval call stays for threads that
reach an eval loop without running that bootstrap.
Measured with a `gc_stress` build on `print("trivial ok")`: before, SIGBUS in
`w_dict_items` under `retag_classmethod_descriptors` (typedef.rs); after,
startup completes 784 minor and 193 major collections and reaches
`sys` module registration.

…_file
`open_raw_file` built the wrapper with `w_instance_new` and then carried it
in a Rust local through nine or ten `setattr_str` calls whose value argument
allocates. An allocation is a collection point and nothing else names the
instance yet, so the collector was free to reclaim it between the
construction and the first store; `fileio_store_stat_atopen` had the same
shape across its three `w_int_new` calls.
Pin the instance on the shadow stack and read the address back before each
store, through `new_rooted_file_wrapper` / `file_wrapper_store`, at all six
construction sites.
Measured with a `gc_stress` build on `print("trivial ok")`: before, the
write barrier in `_set_mapdict_increase_storage1` aborted on a freed header
after 784 minor / 193 major collections; after, startup runs 3719 minor /
780 major collections and reaches class creation.
Assisted-by: Claude
`type_descr_new_with_metaclass` carried the `w_type_new` result in a Rust
local through `type_new_take_qualname` and `create_all_slots`, both of which
allocate, before `tag_subclass_instance` took the write barrier on it.
Nothing else refers to a class that young — the classcell is optional and
`weak_subclasses` is weak — so a major cycle in that window sweeps it, which
is the hazard the `_entry_roots` scope further down already reasons about.
Pin it for liveness right after construction; a type does not move, so the
local remains a good address.
Measured with a `gc_stress` build: before, `store_subclass_tag`'s barrier
aborted on an invalid type id after 3719 minor / 780 major collections;
after, `MAJIT_GC_STRESS=1 pyre-dynasm print("trivial ok")` completes with
rc=0 (0.04s unstressed against 3.75s stressed, so the flag is live).

…ing it `WarmEnterState::maybe_compile_decision` refuses a cell whose `abort_count` reached `MAX_TRACE_ABORT_COUNT`, and a loop that can never trace re-derives that refusal on every back edge. Measured with `sys.setprofile` over a warm loop, `abort_ceiling_refused` tracked the iteration count one-for-one: 194776 at 200k iterations, 794776 at 800k, and 0 for a loop with no call in its body. `maybe_compile_and_run` now caches the refusal per green key against a new `WarmEnterState::cell_generation`, bumped by `install_new_cell`, `attach_procedure_to_interp`, `attach_procedure_to_interp_for_key` and `attach_tmp_callback_to_interp` — the mutations that can make a refused key runnable again. `is_ceiling_latched` restates the decision's condition for a caller that wants only that answer. Graded as the same tree built twice: 2.3% faster on the profiled arm, faster in 5 of 5 rounds, `abort_ceiling_refused` 194776 -> 1. `PYRE_JIT=0` is not a control for this — it is read in `eval_with_jit_inner` and routes the frame to `execute_frame_plain`, a different eval loop.

…e walker's bookkeeping `note_root_trace_too_long` performs the whole of `MetaInterp::blackhole_if_trace_too_long` — `find_biggest_function`, `disable_noninlinable_function`, `portal_trace_positions = None`, `trace_next_iteration`, and the `prepare_trace_segmenting` / bridge arms — and then the walker returns `DispatchError::TraceTooLong`, which carries no `Counters.ABORT_*`. The JitDriver abort handler's reason ladder therefore fell through to `blackhole_if_trace_too_long` and ran it a second time. The log is retired by then, so `find_biggest_function` answers `None` however the trace overflowed and the root takes `prepare_trace_segmenting`, which stamps it with `JC_FORCE_FINISH` + `JC_DONT_TRACE_HERE` — neither of which is ever cleared — even when an inlined callee was named and disabled on its own. `note_root_trace_too_long` now stages `ABORT_TOO_LONG`, which the ladder consults ahead of that fallback. The `JitCodeMachine` path (`pyjitpl/dispatch.rs`) stages nothing and keeps the fallback, which is its own bookkeeping path. On `trace_too_long_inline_multiframe`: 31 too-long aborts, 14 of them naming a huge inlined callee, and `blackhole_if_trace_too_long: aborting` goes from 31 log lines to 0. Adoptions total 31 before and after (21+10, 17+14), equal to `loops_aborted`, so no abort fell back to legacy replay; 4 moved from a single-frame to a multi-frame image. `loops_compiled` is unchanged at 2. The re-recorded baselines also pick up three badness fields the current base prints, all zero. `a_second_too_long_run_segments_a_root_the_first_one_spared` pins what the second entry cost. Assisted-by: Claude
`eval_with_jit_inner` was the only portal entry that ran `ec.call_trace` / `ec.return_trace` / `ec.leaveframe_trace` around the dispatch. `portal_runner_result`, which `ll_portal_runner_shim`, `bh_portal_runner_c`, `pyre_portal_runner` and `bh_call_self_recursive_portal` reach, ran only `enter_recursive_frame` + `install_current_frame` + the dispatch. Split the bracket out of `eval_with_jit_inner` into `portal_activation_bracketed`, and the shared prologue into `enter_portal`, so the entries that begin an activation (`portal_activation_result`) and the entries that resume one (`portal_runner_result`) select the body they need. The `ContinueRunningNormally` and CALL_ASSEMBLER arms keep the unbracketed entry; `portal_runner`, `bh_portal_runner_c` and `bh_call_self_recursive_portal`, each of which is handed a frame constructed on the calling line, take the bracketed one. Measured with `sys.setprofile` over a self-recursive callee driven from a compiled loop, at tail 30000 and DEPTH 3: `call`/`rec` 30000 reported of 120000 owed before, 120000 after, matching cpython at all four tails. Assisted-by: Claude
`portal_activation_bracketed` ran `ec.leaveframe_trace` but not the rest of `executioncontext.py ExecutionContext.leave`, so a frame whose body ran as compiled code returned without restoring `ec.topframeref` from `f_backref` and without marking its caller escaped. `escaped()` is read by the walker at `jitcode_dispatch/mod.rs`, `residual_call.rs` and `inline_call.rs` to decide whether a caller has to be materialised. `leave_resumed_blackhole_frame` already closes exactly this scope for a blackhole resume, so its body is extracted into `leave_compiled_frame_chain` and shared: identity-guard `topframeref` against this frame, reach the caller through `vref_referent`, and force nothing. Forcing here raises `InvalidVirtualRef: frame-chain vref forced after its frame died` on `exception_escape_inlined_midframe_tb_node` and `exception_try_call_inlined_callee_raise`. The escape arm's firing condition was counted at 2001 / 21001 / 24001 across three probes; no Python-visible wrong answer was reproduced. Assisted-by: Claude
`note_inline_subwalk_start` minted its green key from `raw_callee_code` — `w_code_get_ptr(w_code)`, the inner `CodeObject` — while every other mint in the tree uses the `PyCode` object: the function-entry key, the back-edge merge point, and `can_inline_callable` / `disable_noninlinable_function` twenty lines above the same call. `note_inline_subwalk_start` is the only production writer of `portal_trace_positions`, so every key `find_biggest_function` could return was CodeObject-keyed. `note_root_trace_too_long`'s huge-function arm filed a cell under a hash no reader computes, `can_inline_callable` found nothing on the next attempt and re-inlined the same callee, and because that arm answered `Some` the root took neither the disable nor `prepare_trace_segmenting`'s permanent stamp. Measured on `bench/synth/trace_too_long_inline_multiframe.py`: loops_compiled 2 -> 50, loops_aborted 31 -> 23, abrt_too_long 31 -> 23, abort_ceiling_refused 552 -> 321, abort_ceiling_banned 2 -> 0. Assisted-by: Claude
…ocol The portal runner is published behind an `extern "C"` boundary and cannot unwind, so a raise inside it arrives in `BH_LAST_EXC_VALUE` rather than out of the call — where `blackhole.py:351-360`'s blanket `except Exception` catches upstream's real unwind and hands it to `handle_exception_in_frame`. `bhimpl_jit_merge_point`'s recursive-portal arm and the four `handler_recursive_call_*` handlers neither cleared the cell before the call nor tested it after, so the call's value was whatever `bh_portal_runner_c` returns on its error path — `PY_NULL` — the frame left with that NULL installed as the result, and the exception stayed unread in the cell. `check_residual_call_exception_after`'s own doc names the families that owe the check; `recursive_call_*` was absent from it and from the code, while `residual_call_*`, `inline_call_*`, `call_assembler_*` and `cond_call_*` all perform it. No Python-level reproduction was produced: a 400-iteration probe over a guard-failing inlined callee that raises propagates correctly today. Assisted-by: Claude
The green-key fix makes `disable_noninlinable_function` reach a cell, so
the huge inlined callee stops being re-inlined:
loops_compiled 2 -> 50 (wasm 0 -> 48)
loops_aborted 31 -> 23 (wasm 30 -> 22)
fbw_blackhole_adopted_single_frame 17 -> 16 (wasm 16 -> 15)
fbw_blackhole_adopted_multi_frame 14 -> 7
check.py reads the two adoption counters as regressions on a fall,
because a fall normally means the adoption path stopped firing and the
legacy replay path came back. It did not: the adoption total still
equals `loops_aborted` exactly on every backend, before (17+14=31,
16+14=30) and after (16+7=23, 15+7=22). The counters fall because there
are eight fewer aborts to adopt.

Evict obsolete abort-ceiling cache entries
Each distinct green key that reaches the abort ceiling is inserted into this thread-local HashMap, but entries are never removed when cell_generation changes or when warm-state cells are swept. Consequently, a long-running profiled or instrumented worker that creates many code objects can retain an unbounded collection of obsolete (green_key, generation) pairs after the corresponding cells and code have disappeared; clear stale generations or keep this state on the bounded cell table instead.

Root each statistic value before the native attribute store.
fileio_store_stat_atopen passes each w_int_new result to setdictvalue_native. The mapdict path reaches write_terminator and add_attr, which can allocate before storing value; instance_node_setdictvalue roots only the receiver. Pin each statistic value and reload it from its shadow-stack slot before the store.

Ten commits. Six are the JIT portal work described below — the
execute_framebracket pyre's portal owes because its merge point sits one level up from
upstream's, plus what an audit of the portal against
rpython/jit/metainterp/warmspot.pyturned up.Four predate it and are unrelated to the portal:
jit: install the GC root walkers at init_gc_subsystem instead of first eval— the builtin type namespace dicts are born before the first eval, so a
collection in that window reclaimed them.
interp: root the file wrapper across its attribute stores in open_raw_fileinterp: root the new class across create_all_slots in type.__new__jit: cache the abort-ceiling refusal so a latched loop stops re-deriving it— a latched loop re-derived the refusal per iteration (a green-key mint,
three per-code gate lookups and a bucket-chain walk). Graded as the same tree

double-report.

the protocol gap, fixed to the shape the other 28 sites use.
Found, not fixed here: JIT-compiled recursion pays no recursion limit
Once a self- or mutually-recursive function is warm, the recursion runs
entirely inside compiled code with no interpreter activation seam, so
sys.setrecursionlimitis ignored:Cold, and under
PYRE_JIT=0, it raises correctly. Mutual recursion is brokenthe same way. The counter, not the exception, is the instrument: a non-self
call at the bottom of the recursion re-enters
eval_with_jitand does check,and it never trips —
f(5000)at limit 120 returns 5001.Two candidate fixes were built and measured not to work:
stack_check()inenter_portal(which fires once in the entire run) and the prologue helperpyre_stack_check_for_jit_prologue(which fires zero times — dynasm emits theinline SP sequence instead of calling it). The remaining protection is that
inline native-SP probe against
PYRE_STACKTOOBIG, andset_recursion_limituses
fetch_max, so a lowered limit deliberately does not tighten it. A realfix needs per-compiled-activation accounting with a release on every exit path
including deopt; that is a design change and is left out of this PR.
Nine other portal deviations were confirmed by the same audit and are not
addressed here — among them the cranelift CALL_ASSEMBLER shim re-running an
already-executed callee through the bracketed portal, the missing
assert 0, "should have raised"arm on a normally-returninghandle_fail,and jd1's trace-start descriptor claiming slot 2 while jd1 registers at slot 1.
