I just get am exception:

And in particular, I'm not seeing any bailouts, when running a tip Firefox on that page with IONFLAGS=bailouts.

I'd really appreciate some non-cryptic steps to reproduce.

I'm using the Gecko Profiler add-on to get a profile and I'm searching for the word 'Bailout' and 'instrument' (like this: "tr ',' '\n' < aprofile.dms | grep 'Bailout' | grep 'instrument'").

This is an unrelated error that shouldn't affect the index.html page load and the unit tests it runs.
Marco, thanks.

Here's a minimal testcase that reproduces the issue.

What happens is that when we first compile f we call IonBuilder::getPropTryCommonGetter which calls testCommonGetterSetter.  This ends up adding a shape guard for "foundProto" using the passed-in lastProperty (which came from the baseline IC).

In our case, foundProto is the Window object.

Then we resolve "Date" on the window, which changes its shape.

The next time we call f, the shape guard fails, since the shape of the window has in fact changed.  So we take a bailout.  So far so good.

But now we try to recompile the ioncode.  We end up in testCommonGetterSetter again and lastProperty has the same value as the previous time.  That is, lastProperty no longer matches foundProto->lastProperty().  So we end up compiling exactly the same code as last time, which immediately bails out when run.  That's not terribly useful.

If I just change testCommonGetterSetter to use foundProto->lastProperty() in the guard, the problem goes away: I get one bailout, and then life is good.

So how come we end up with the old "lastProperty" value the second time around?  This comes from BaselineInspector::commonGetPropFunction which sniffs the baseline ICs.  The second time around, we have _two_ ICStub::GetProp_CallNative stubs at this pc.  The first one is the old one: it has the old holderShape() value and in particular its holderShape() doesn't match its holder()->lastProperty() anymore.  The second one is the stub baseline added when we ran it after the bailout: it has the same holder() but the new holderShape().

It seems to me like testCommonGetterSetter should simply ignore stubs for which the holder()->lastProperty() doesn't match holderShape(), since compiling ion code based on those is bound to fail.  Or something.

Eric, feel free to steal the review here.  ;)
Flags: needinfo?(efaustbmo)
Though.... it's weird to leave the old stub in place at all, since it has a "holder" that has a known-bad shape.  Baseline doesn't use the "holder" I guess, but is there any situation in which that old stub is still useful?  Or should we either try to mutate it in place or do something similar to RemoveExistingGetElemNativeStubs when adding our new stub?
Flags: needinfo?(jdemooij)
And in particular, it seems like we could blow out the max stub count pretty easily as people resolve more things no Window.

When looking for a common getter/setter function via sniffing baseline stubs, skip over the stubs which have a holder object whose shape doesn't match the cached shape in the stub: trying to compile code based on those is likely to just lead to immediate

As discussed on IRC, I think we should change this code to ignore sites that (1) have the hadUnoptimizableAccess() flag, or (2) have multiple (conflicting) stubs attached. With these two checks we should avoid the repeated-bailout issue (we've had this issue before with Baseline IC sniffing).

Then we can change the BaselineIC code to update the old holder shape, or unlink the old stub, so that Ion can still use it.

part 1.  Change BaselineInspector to not attempt to optimize to a common getter/setter if either we have getter/setter stubs with different holder shapes or have had an unoptimizable access

part 2.  Change baseline ICs to update getter/setter stubs in place instead of adding new stubs if the stub kind and holder match an existing stub (but the shape does not)

OK, there needs to be a comment in here somewhere (either here, or at the top) stating that we have the side effect that we update all such stubs in place, not only the one we were looking for. I came into this expecting a |break| here and was surpised not to find it until the grand scheme made sense. Perhaps this function should even be called Update..Stubs

The same comments from above apply again in the trivial ways.

> r=me with comments addressed.

Come to think of it, this needs tests. Can we whip up something that hits this and put it in jit-tests? Including the multiple stub change case?
> This is bug 1084150, right?

Sadly, not quite.  The comment explains this, in fact: Bug 1084150 makes sure this doesn't happen due to changes in the receiver's shape, but it can still happen due to changes in the _holder_'s shape.

> Perhaps this function should even be called Update..Stubs

Yes.  Done.  Also updated the comment for the function:

  // Try to update all existing GetProp/GetName getter call stubs that match the
  // given holder in place with a new shape and getter. 

> Can we whip up something that hits this and put it in jit-tests?

What would it test?  The failure mode here is not generating optimal ion code, not actual correctness issues.  Unless you mean add a test that will just ensure we exercise these new codepaths in some way?

Which, note, should be much rarer, since doing "this.foo = something" and thus adding a property to the receiver in a setter is a much more sane thing to do than modifying the prototype the setter lives on.  Of course Firefox front-end code does the latter too.  ;)

Yeah, I would like to see the shape replacement code exercised with some proof that the resulting thing isn't functionally wrong? Maybe that's too paranoid.
Flags: needinfo?(efaustbmo)
Yes, that seems fair.  Let me see what I can do.

Looks like either this or bug 1088002 regressed octane-box2d by around 40% on awfy.
This one would be more likely than the other...  Is there a way to run box2d locally?
Yes, go to js/src/octane and run   js run-box2d.js   .
OK, so doing this on inbound rev c30b79646349 (that's without this bug or bug 1088002) I get about 50k runs/s.

With rev 233974607185 I get about 30k runs/s.

I tried replacing the "return nullptr" in the holder shape mismatch cases with "continue", and that did not affect things: still 30k runs/s.

However if I replace the "return nullptr" in the hadUnoptimizableAccess() cases with "continue", performance comes back to what it used to be.  Both the setter and getter case matter; if I leave one of them but not the other returning null, I get about 40k runs/s.

Jan, should I just take those hadUnoptimizableAccess() checks out?  It's not quite obvious to me why we want them...

You know why the access is unoptimizable?

The check is used to avoid this situation: we attach a Baseline stub and also see some unoptimizable cases, then we optimize in Ion based on the attached Baseline stub but will bailout each time we hit the unoptimizable cases.

If that's not a risk here we can remove the check, or not set the hadUnoptimizableAccess flag in this case?
