fix(gc): index stack maps from loaded provider apps - #8081
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime now discovers native GC stack maps across dynamically loaded images. Provider-host fixtures build separate runtime, stdlib, and application dylibs, then validate handler responses, full collections, buffer lifetimes, reclamation, and heap stability. ChangesProvider dylib GC rooting
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds runtime stack-map discovery and provider integration validation, but the Darwin gate can still pass when the GC-map section is stripped, and the dylib regression does not verify relocated function addresses. This leaves a bounded but material false-positive validation risk that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Blocking correctness finding on the exact audited head. The loaded-image discovery and focused decoder tests otherwise look sound, but the replaceable-index publication can regress to an older loader snapshot under concurrent initialization.

171-186: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winHandle the missing-compiler case and release the handle on panic.
Two points:
Command::new(compiler).output().expect("run C compiler")fails the test when no C compiler exists in the environment. If the gate requires a compiler, keep this. Otherwise, return early when the spawn fails, as the test already uses a fallible external toolchain.libc::dlclose(handle)at Line 204 does not run if any assertion between Lines 193 and 201 panics. The library then stays mapped for the rest of the process, and its records stay visible to laterbuild_stack_map_index()calls in the same test binary. Wrap the handle in aDropguard, likeTempDir.♻️ Proposed change
+ struct Library(*mut std::ffi::c_void); + impl Drop for Library { + fn drop(&mut self) { + unsafe { libc::dlclose(self.0) }; + } + } let path = CString::new(library.as_os_str().as_bytes()).expect("NUL-free dylib path"); - let handle = unsafe { libc::dlopen(path.as_ptr(), libc::RTLD_NOW | libc::RTLD_LOCAL) }; - assert!(!handle.is_null(), "dlopen failed"); + let handle = Library(unsafe { + libc::dlopen(path.as_ptr(), libc::RTLD_NOW | libc::RTLD_LOCAL) + }); + assert!(!handle.0.is_null(), "dlopen failed");Then remove the explicit

1085-1135: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoffReading every loaded image from disk on each rebuild is expensive.
collectcallsstd::fs::readfor eachdl_iterate_phdrimage, so a rebuild reads the full contents of libc, libstdc++, and every other mapped object, then discards them.

Re-audit at exact head ff79100bff5fd7fa17dbb5f172b6a0dfc0c0875c against exact current main 7efa5b5e61a9c1a46bb48cdcea69cb9f75015c26: do not merge yet.
The previous stale-publication blocker is fixed correctly. Each rebuild reserves a monotonically increasing generation before taking its loader snapshot, publication replaces only older generations, and the new reversed-completion regression covers both first-install and replacement races.
Current merge blockers remain:
- Linux image discovery still conflates an unreadable
dlpi_namewith a readable image that simply has no.perry_gcmap(discussion_r3782047780). A relative dlopen path after a cwd change can therefore disappear from a later rebuild and publish an incomplete root index. The repair needs to account for expected non-file images such as the vDSO while ensuring a previously indexed Perry image cannot silently vanish. - The Darwin provider gate links with
-dead_stripbut never asserts that the app dylib actually contains__perry_gcmap(discussion_r3781980404). That arm can pass vacuously with a rootless app image. - The fixture defines Darwin
RTLD_LOCALas0rather than0x4(discussion_r3781980406), so the supposed local app load actually gets the platform default/global scope and does not validate the intended provider isolation. - The provider gate rebuilds special-feature runtime providers in the shared workflow target/cache (
discussion_r3781980400), contaminating later consumers and making the gate evidence non-isolated.
Exact-head targeted Rust formatting, shell syntax, merge diff, and git diff --check passed. The focused stack_maps_decode_tests compile reached the final runtime test-binary link but the host ran out of disk; that is explicitly no test verdict and is not used as evidence in either direction. CI status is likewise not used here. No version bump is present, and the PR closes only #8075.

Re-audited exact head The four previous blockers are closed:
The earlier concurrent-publication repair remains sound: generations are reserved before loader discovery and only a newer candidate replaces the current snapshot; both initial-install and replacement reversed-completion cases are deterministic. Root scanning also no longer initiates loader discovery and receives a generation-0 empty index until explicit initialization.

#8081 rebuilds the runtime's stack-map index at module init and discovers compact GC maps in every loaded Mach-O/ELF image, so the demotion of dylib artifacts to the shared shadow stack is obsolete — and would leave provider apps running a lowering production never ships (it also breaks the gc-native-roots provider gate, which asserts the app map survives dead stripping). Drop set_native_roots_for_artifact and pin the native lowering in the entry test instead.
