Some of our compilation APIs take a SourceBufferHolder which can be used to let the JS engine take ownership of a buffer containing script source and avoid copying it. Our asynchronous compilation APIs do not permit this however, and for the synchronous ones this option is not always used. This bug aims to extend the use of SourceBufferHolder to asynchronous compilation APIs and to use this feature in the browser where possible.
This patch removes synchronous compilation APIs that take char16_t pointers and makes everything use SourceBufferHolder instead. I considered making the ownership parameter of the SourceBufferHolder default to NoOwnership but I left it as is to keep this explicit.
Attachment #8991834 - Flags: review?(jdemooij)
Make async compilation APIs take SourceBufferHolder too. Use one of these to keep the data in the parse task.
Attachment #8991835 - Flags: review?(jdemooij)
Add an SourceBufferHolder constructor that takes a UniquePtr to the buffer and transfers ownership.
Attachment #8991836 - Flags: review?(jdemooij)
Refactor GetScriptSource to not take an inlineData parameter. Previously this was used to hold the script source chars for inline elements. Instead, copy the buffer and transfer ownership to the SourceBufferHolder returned. This looks like an extra copy but it's not - the JS engine would have copied the data itself if ownership was not transferred. It would be great if we could get the script text straight into a JS heap allocated buffer and avoid this copy too. I don't know if there's any way to do that?
Attachment #8991838 - Flags: review?(amarchesini)
This patch refactors ScriptLoader::AttemptAsyncScriptCompile() to return a boolean (via an out parameter) indicating whether async compilation was possible rather than returning NS_ERROR_FAILURE if it was not. Thus all error codes indicate actual errors rather than things like 'script was longer than the off-thread compile threshold'. Then we handle all errors from this method, rather than ignoring and compiling on the main thread. The reason is that we can't re-try compilation if we've already transferred ownership of the source buffer to the JS engine.

Attached patch source-buffer-6-js-alloc-policy (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Add JSMallocAllocPolicy as a replacement for MallocAllocPolicy in the browser that allocates data on the JS heap, and doesn't account memory use. The reason for the latter is that this is primarily for source text buffers which won't be associated with any GC thing and using them to trigger GC won't have any effect. (After I wrote that I wondered about how script source data is accounted which is where this buffer ends up I believe. Maybe this data should be accounted after all?)
Attachment #8991846 - Flags: review?(jdemooij)
Finally, make the script loader use JSMallocAllocPolicy for the Vector used to hold the script source and transfer that buffer to the JS engine.
Attachment #8991865 - Flags: review?(amarchesini)
There are a few places where we still copy source buffers, mostly when we're compiling data in a string e.g. an nsAString. There doesn't seem to be a way to steal the buffer from those.

(In reply to Andrea Marchesini [:baku] from comment #12) > Is this comment still valid? GetText -> GetScriptText Looks like the change to GetScriptText was made in bug 235826... probably this is not valid any more. I'll take this out.
(In reply to Jon Coppeard (:jonco) from comment #6) > (After I wrote that I wondered about how script source data is accounted > which is where this buffer ends up I believe. Maybe this data should be > accounted after all?) There's also the source compression thing to consider: it replaces the uncompressed source with a compressed buffer. The compressed data is put in the process-wide SharedImmutableStringsCache. However, compression tasks are enqueued and actually start running at at the next GC.. Given the complexity here and the fact that GC can be triggered between allocation and creating the ScriptSource object (when parsing off-thread, I think?) not accounting probably makes sense. But I don't really know.

(In reply to Jan de Mooij [:jandem] from comment #17) > Isn't this what js::SystemAllocPolicy is for? There's one difference - this doesn't participate in simulated OOM testing. We probably want to have these as separate things anyway since this is a public API. I updated the patch to factor out common alloc policy methods into a base class.

I think the problem is that I removed one of the overloads of JS::Evaluate in the first patch. But I tried adding just that back in but still couldn't make the rust bindings compile locally. Nick, do you know what's going on here? Full error is in comment 22. Ideally I want to make evaluate_script use SourceBufferHolder but I couldn't figure out how to do that either: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/js/rust/src/rust.rs#237
Flags: needinfo?(jcoppeard) → needinfo?(nfitzgerald)
When bindgen encounters overloads, it starts adding a counter to the end to disambiguate. Assuming you didn't remove the overload that evaluate_script is actually using, then we probably just need to change that number on the end. If you take a look at `js/rust/src/jsapi.rs`, you'll see that it includes the bindings that are mechanically generated in `js/rust/build.rs` and written into the "out" directory. https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/js/rust/src/jsapi.rs https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/js/rust/build.rs Depending on build configuration files will be somewhere like `js/rust/target/**/build/out/jsapi[_debug].rs`. You should be able to grep through those files to find the correct overload. I attempted to do this locally, but check_spidermonkey_style.py is throwing an exception on my current machine and the build isn't completing :-/ Let me know if anything doesn't make sense, or if you run into any problems. Happy to help!

The problem here is that the script text length is used after compilation has started. With the previous patches this would appear to be zero since the buffer had been passed to the JS engine. The patch records the length separately. I also refactored the script load handler code that appends data to the buffer so that it doesn't write into the allocated but uninitialised data at the end of the vector but just resizes the vector normally.
