v8-deltablue has a pattern like: for (...) { c = ... c.execute(); } Where we've determined that |c.execute| only has a few possible values, and we inline through each possible value by guarding on the function identity. We can do better though, in that we should be able to eliminate both the property load and the function identity guard. The shape guard (or in our case, a TypeObject guard) alone should be enough to determine whether we can inline. See methodjit/Compiler.cpp!jsop_getprop_dispatch for details.

Current patch for doing this. It works, but it's somewhat compilation heavy due to some hefty ResumePoint manipulation and lots of extra block-creation (which creates more resume points). I want to rework this to use a single conceptual instruction that does a multi-way branch, instead of sequencing a series of guard blocks for each inlined function. I expect this to make the code simpler, easier to read and understand, and easier to adapt for future modeifications (like Bug 772049 coming up). Until then, here is the current working patch.

First step in rework: Change the original polymorphic inlining code to use a single PolyInlineDispatch instruction to do the dispatching instead of multiple InlineFunctionGuard instructions in their own guard basic blocks. I've split these into 3 patches for readability's sake: 1. Add the PolyInlineDispatch instruction 2. Change IonBuilder to use PolyInlineDispatch instead of InlineFunctionGuard 3. Remove the InlineFunctionGuard instruction

Comment on attachment 641139 [details] [diff] [review] Rework Polymorphic Inlining: Remove InlineFunctionGuard instruction. Review of attachment 641139 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for splitting this up, a lot easier to review!

Explanation of the approach: 1. In the builder for jsop_getprop(), if processing a JSOP_CALLPROP, the site is examined to see if we can infer a partial table mapping TypeObjects for the object to JSFunction constants for the result. This table is stored within the GetPropertyCache instruction itself. 2. When we reach an inlineable call site, we the MDefinition that defines the callee function. If this MDefinition is either an annotated GetPropertyCache, or derive from an annotated GetPropertyCache (via a TypeBarrier and Unbox), and there are no users of the callee function (which guarantees that no ResumePoints have captured the callee between the CALLPROP for the GetPropertyCache and the CALL we're inlining), then we choose to change the inlining method from guarding on the callee to guarding on the target object's typeobjects. 3. The remaining changes all relate to adding a fallback block to MPolyInlineDispatch. There are a few major issues that arise from this: a) BY the time we arrive at the JSOP_CALL, we've already processed the JSOP_CALLPROP and any intervening bytecode to generate the arguments. These definitions are pushed on the stack. Any new block created at this point would automatically capture the GetPropertyCache in its EntryResumePoint, which will make eliminating it difficult. b) Even if we do eliminate the GetPropertyCache, the IonBuilder's "current PC" when we inline is now well past the PC of the GetPropertyCache. This means that naively adding a GetPropertyCache to the fallback block will cause correctness issues if the GetPropertyCache ever induces a bailout - since it'll return to the wrong PC, and will have the wrong stack (because the call arguments will be pushed). To avoid these issues, the following somewhat convoluted procedure is adopted: i) In the block for the CALL, the stack entry for the function callee is replaced with a constant Undefined. This is OK because in each entry block to the inlined functions, this stack slot (and the corresponding slot in the EntryResumePoint) is replaced with the MConstant for their respective JSFunctions. ii) The fallback block is split up into 3 sections: fallbackPredBlock, fallbackMidBlock, and fallbackEndBlock. iii) fallbackPredBlock does nothing but pop the argument MDefinitions, as well as the callee MDefinition, off of the abstract stack, and performs a GOTO to fallbackMidBlock. iv) fallbackMidBlock is created with its PC being that of the JSOP_CALLPROP that generated the GetPropertyCache. Since it inherits it stack from fallbackPredBlock, its stack is in the correct form. These two properties mean that if it bails, it'll bail out to the location of the JSOP_CALLPROP with the correct stack. This block does the GetPropertyCache, re-pushes the argument MDefinitions, and executes a GOTO to fallbackEndBlock. v) fallbackEndBlock is created with the "regular pc" corresponding to the call. It'll inherit the correct stack from fallbackMidBlock. This block adds the MPrepareCall, MPassArgs, and does the call. The rest of the code should be relatively straightforward from the comments and the procedure above. I hope this is not too confusing or weird.

Comment on attachment 644460 [details] [diff] [review] First stab. Review of attachment 644460 [details] [diff] [review]: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Resetting review flag, will review the updated patch.

Changed MGetPropertyCache to hold a pointer to the table of TypeObject => JSFunction mappings, so as to not waste space on the majority of MGetPropertyCache instructions that don't serve as precursors to inline call dispatches. Also, fixed an additional bug where snapshots weren't getting taken properly for the fallback block. This requires taking an early MResumePoint snapshot at the time of the MGetPropertyCache creation (but not attaching it to anything), and then later attaching it as the entryResumePoint for the poly-inline-call fallback block. This is necessary because it's the only reasonable way to capture the stack state at the point of the MGetPropertyCache and transport it forward to the fallback block when we are in inlineScriptedCall.

Patch with requested changes addressed. Additionally fixed an issue with construction of correct snapshots. The previous patch ran into a recently added assert ensuring that resume point stack states matched up with the expected stack for the resume point's PC. This revealed some errors where the correct stack state wasn't getting initialized before capturing resume points. In particular, the bytecode generated for |foo.bar(arg1, arg2)| looks something like: <bytecode for |foo|> dup callprop "bar" swap <byte code for |arg1|> <byte code for |arg2|> call The resume point prior to the callprop should have two copies of |foo| on the stack. And moreover, to move between the stack state immediately before the getprop and immediately before the call is more than just a matter of pushing/popping the appropriate definitions. The fix for this was to capture additional resume points at the appropriate locations that captured the stack state, and to add a mechanism for creating blocks using those resume points' stack state as their initial stack.
