Ion+TI runs Kraken imaging-darkroom slower than JM+TI, because our native calls are slower. The benchmark calls Math.log/Math.pow 3844801 times; we can measure the overhead of this with the following micro-benchmark: -- function f() { for (var i=0; i<3844801; i++) { Math.log(0.4); } } var t = new Date; f(); print(new Date - t); -- JM+TI: 87 ms (65% in math_log) IM+TI: 210 ms (23% in math_log) We spend a lot of time in js::Invoke, ContextStack::onTop, ContextStack::pushInvokeArgs etc. This seems to be responsible for most of our slowdown vs JM+TI. FWIW, V8 inlines/specializes Math.log/Math.pow - we can do something similar, but this bug is about native calls in general, not specifically Math.log/Math.pow.

This is basically done. It needs factoring out some common patterns, but otherwise works. The test case runs at the same speed with '--ion -n' as with '-m -n'. It can't land yet until OSI changes are made -- since we're not going through callVM(), there is no call to a generateReturnWrapper() that can have a return address passed. We could fake-call the next instruction, but that's a bit silly. OSI is changing soon anyway, so blocking on that. Passes all tests except basic/arrayConcat.js, which requires native invalidation.

This is about a 4% speedup on SS.

Handles native calls on all platforms in an efficient way, creating a fake exit frames. Passes arrayConcat.js (invalidation). ARM code is written and compiles and should work, but can't be tested because ARM segfaults for unrelated reasons in generate(). On x86, jandem's test with an iteration counter of 10,000,000 gives '-m -n' a score of 262; '--ion -n' gets 258, both results consistent.

Note on the JS_IS_CONSTRUCTING bit: that is only for when calling natives.

The branch predictor on Intel chips wants each call to be matched with a ret. I can measure both ways, but there are strongly-worded warnings in Intel documentation to absolutely never call non-functions.
Would it work to just have a bogus ret as well then? (leaveFakeExitFrame?)

Not reasonably. The ret would go to the code after the call, which would have to be a jump to after leaveFakeExitFrame(). But the code after the call has to be from markSafepoint(), and we probably don't want that code to be re-executed. Since we can't have both a jump and markSafepoint() code immediately following the call, the jump has to be after markSafepoint(), so we wind up not only using space in the branch predictor, but also executing more instructions. Furthermore, that jump then has to be bound in visitCallNative(), but not in the case of ARM, so visitCallNative() becomes platform-specific, at least with #ifdefs. It would be breaking up buildFakeExitFrame() into two halves, and requiring the caller to stitch them together. Keeping the frame building code close together seems simpler.
Random idea: do we even need a call instruction? We could just push the next offset, and make sure in C++ to call the right overload to getSafepointIndex/getOsiIndex. For debugging we will need some way to differentiate C++ exit frames from JSNative exit frames, that could be a bit in the frame descriptor, telling us how to interpret the return address.

That's a good idea. I was talking with Marty last night, and it's likely the (untested) ARM implementation of markSnapshot() is wrong -- because of the moving pools, currentOffset() can never be called, since the code can be shifted to make way for a pool. We could always patch it in later, though. If we fix that, keeping a unique offset around would be sufficient for the native case.

Magic value placed in MIR; callee value pushed as part of codegen. X64-specific optimization removed -- it made about 4ms difference in a test suite with 1,000,000 iterations. The logic to create the exit frame was kept, since it works on x86/x64, is no more broken than ARM, and lets this patch not touch OSI. Will file a follow-up bug for that work once this lands.

http://hg.mozilla.org/projects/ionmonkey/rev/1c5fcda56a00 Backed out: although the check-* tests for v8 pass individually, this patch prevented the harness from running to completion. Will debug that and re-land.

hg.mozilla.org/projects/ionmonkey/rev/41382184b0f5 The bug involved argument padding for native calls -- since the Native functions take an argc parameter, padding with |undefined| and lying about argc is incorrect.
