LLVM LangRef optnone alwaysinline noinline incompatibility and Inkwell 0.9.0 FunctionValue remove_enum_attribute API
💡 Result:
The LLVM function attributes optnone, alwaysinline, and noinline possess specific compatibility rules designed to enforce the behavior of optimization pipelines, particularly -O0 [1][2][3]. Incompatibility and Behavior: 1. optnone and alwaysinline: These attributes are fundamentally incompatible [1][2]. The optnone attribute indicates that a function should not be optimized, while alwaysinline mandates that the function be inlined [1][2][4]. The LLVM verifier will reject IR where both attributes are present on the same function [2]. 2. optnone and noinline: Historically, optnone implicitly requires or implies noinline to ensure the function is not inlined [1][5][3]. While optnone prevents most optimizations, alwaysinline callees are an exception and may still be inlined into an optnone function body [1][6]. 3. noinline and alwaysinline: These are explicitly incompatible and cannot coexist on the same function [2]. Inkwell 0.9.0 FunctionValue API: In Inkwell 0.9.0, the FunctionValue struct provides the remove_enum_attribute method to manage these attributes [7][8][9]. This method allows you to programmatically remove attributes from a function [7][10]. API Signature: pub fn remove_enum_attribute(self, loc: AttributeLoc, kind_id: u32) Usage: To use this method, you specify the AttributeLoc (e.g., AttributeLoc::Function) and the kind_id corresponding to the attribute you wish to remove [7][11]. Since LLVM attributes are internally represented as enum values, you must identify the correct kind_id for the attribute (e.g., alwaysinline or optnone) you intend to remove to resolve conflicts before the verifier is invoked [2][10][11]. It is important to note that if you are generating IR and encountering these conflicts, you should ensure your logic prevents the simultaneous application of incompatible attributes, as the LLVM verifier will trigger a fatal error if these rules are violated [2][12].

Remove alwaysinline before demotion.
An oversized function can carry alwaysinline after RS4GC. Adding optnone and noinline then creates invalid LLVM IR. Remove alwaysinline with FunctionValue::remove_enum_attribute, and add a regression fixture that verifies the module after demotion.

The #4880 opt-tier plan is computed from pre-rewrite sizes, but rewrite-statepoints-for-gc's relocation fan-out grew one 51k-line minified Next chunk closure 40x to 2.1M instructions, and a single -Os function pass then ran 65+ CPU-minutes without finishing. Measured on the #8036 fixture: the unit's IR went 27MB -> 581MB while its five sibling units grew ~4x and compiled in 38-178s. After the in-process rewrite, stamp optnone+noinline on any function past 512k instructions (PERRY_LL_RS4GC_OPTNONE_INSTRS; largest known-fine function is ~413k) so the pipeline skips exactly the exploded functions and still optimizes their siblings; the stuck unit now finishes default<Os> in ~21s. optnone gates only the middle-end, so the statepoint lowering and compact GC map are unaffected. The external text path re-parses the rewritten text and already re-derives its opt tier from post-rewrite sizes.
The app-dylib compile SIGBUSed (no crash report) immediately after the second optnone demotion fired, while an LLVM unit carrying a multi-million-instruction post-RS4GC function was in flight on a scoped worker with Rust's default 2 MiB stack. LLVM pass and ISel recursion scales with function size, and a guard-page hit on a worker thread presents exactly this way. Reserve 64 MiB per unit worker — address space, not resident memory, until touched.
rewrite-statepoints-for-gc wraps every non-leaf call in a gc function into a gc.statepoint — including the empty `asm sideeffect` loop- preservation barrier, whose statepoint form (`ptr elementtype(void ()) asm ...` as callee) is verifier-invalid: 'Cannot take the address of an inline asm!'. The external opt path aborts on its verifier; the in-process pipeline ran no post-rewrite verify, so the broken module reached ISel and died as a bare KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE SIGBUS with no diagnostic (#8082, the jsonwebtoken unit of the Next production fixture — reproduced twice at the same module). Stamp "gc-leaf-function" on the barrier at all three emission sites (text render, dialect text parse, dialect enum) — an empty asm can never reach a safepoint, so the exemption is sound by construction — and verify the module after the in-process rewrite so any future RS4GC-invalid shape fails loudly instead of crashing the backend. Regression tests cover both directions: the attributed barrier survives unwrapped beside a still-statepointed real call, and the unattributed shape is rejected, not miscompiled.

…8158) `cargo-test` is red on main. `codegen_env_vars_are_build_cache_inputs` reports `PERRY_LL_RS4GC_OPTNONE_INSTRS` keying neither the build cache nor an exclusion. #8128 introduced the knob and its description says it was "registered as a build-cache key per #6394" — it was not. The knob stamps `optnone`+`noinline` on any function past the threshold, so flipping it skips the middle-end for that function and changes emitted code. It belongs in BUILD_CACHE_ENV_VARS, not the exclusion list: an exclusion asserts the variable cannot change emitted code, which is the opposite of what this one does. Without it, changing the threshold leaves the build-level no-op check reporting a match and hands back the previous build's executable. Verified failing on main at 8b1b4b9 before the change and passing after; `-p perry --bin perry` green. Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>
… the changeset Two rebase corrections now that #8128 and #8131 have landed. The review pass on this branch introduced a Handler/Cleanup split in perry_eh_personality keyed on the LSDA call-site action. main never had it, and it is wrong: #7982's statepoint retype makes every JS catch pad a token-cleanup pad with a ZERO action, so the split skips every statepoint-built catch and a plain try/catch aborts FATAL 'no landing pad'. main's eh.rs is authoritative (it also carries the regression test and PERRY_EH_TRACE that went in via #8131), so take it wholesale. The changeset now describes only what remains here: the fixture, the dylib native-roots decision, the production-path lowering fixes, and the holder sweep. Everything else moved to #8128/#8131 with its own fragments.
Merged rather than rebased: an earlier rebase of this branch silently dropped five pushed commits, one of which (the landing-pad regression revert, re-landed here as c133250) is load-bearing — without it a plain try/catch aborts FATAL "no landing pad" under the default statepoint build, because #7982 retypes every JS catch pad to a zero-action cleanup. Conflict resolutions: * crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_new.rs — main's `forward_class_shadows_local` (#8153) supersedes this branch's `is_current_class_self` gate on the callee snapshot. The depth rule keeps the mysql2 case working (a module-scope `class e` must not beat a factory-local `let e`) and is the form the branch's own class_self_new_shadowing tests are written against. * crates/perry/src/commands/compile/cjs_wrap/wrap.rs — main's #8146 structure (explicit prefix test that STRIPS the leading `./`, `.json` fallthrough outside the block), plus this branch's bare `'.'` / `'..'` join. The latter is shipped behaviour the changeset claims: `js_require_path_module` resolves those through `directory_module_candidates`, and without the join the registry key stays a bare `.` and can never hit. * crates/perry/src/commands/compile/build_cache.rs — both knobs kept. `PERRY_LL_RS4GC_OPTNONE_INSTRS` is already registered on main (#8128, with its own comment) and this branch listed it a second time; keeping main's line leaves both it and `PERRY_LL_O0_MAX_FN_BYTES` (#8144) registered exactly once each rather than duplicating one of them. * crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/entry.rs — comment-only divergence, main's. * crates/perry/src/commands/compile/cjs_wrap/preamble_canary_tests.rs — `__perry_path_specifier` -> `__perry_path_spec` rename, main's. Retargeted the two cjs_wrap tests that pinned this branch's pre-#8146 ternary form onto #8146's emitted shape.

Summary
Three independent fixes to the in-process LLVM pipeline, all found while compiling a production Next.js bundle with native statepoint roots (#8036/#8082), all reproducible without that fixture. Split out of #8082 because they stand on their own and are unrelated to that PR's remaining moving-GC work.
1.
rewrite-statepoints-for-gcstatepoint-wrapped the inline-asm loop barrier into invalid IRRS4GC wraps every non-leaf call in a
gcfunction into agc.statepoint— including the emptyasm sideeffect "", ""()loop-preservation barrier (#74). The resulting form names inline asm as the statepoint callee, which the verifier rejects:The external
optpath aborts on its own verifier and says so. The in-process path ran no post-rewrite verify, so the broken module went straight to ISel and died as a bareKERN_PROTECTION_FAILURESIGBUS with no diagnostic — reproduced twice at the same module.Fix: stamp
"gc-leaf-function"on the barrier at all three emission sites (text render, dialect text parse, dialect enum). An empty asm can never reach a safepoint, so the exemption is sound by construction. The in-process pipeline now also verifies after the rewrite, so any future RS4GC-invalid shape fails loudly with the offending instruction instead of crashing the backend.Tests cover both directions: the attributed barrier survives the rewrite unwrapped while the genuine call beside it is still statepointed, and the unattributed shape is rejected, not miscompiled (so the first test can actually fail).
2. Relocation fan-out made one function's
-Ospass effectively non-terminatingThe
#4880opt-tier decision is computed from pre-rewrite sizes, but RS4GC's relocation fan-out is quadratic-ish in (live GC values × statepoints). Measured on a minified Next chunk: one 51k-line closure grew 40× to 2.1M instructions (unit IR 27 MB → 581 MB) while its five sibling units grew ~4× and compiled in 38–178 s. A single-Osfunction pass then ran 65+ CPU-minutes without finishing; the same unit finishes in ~21 s once that one function is skipped.Fix: after the in-process rewrite, stamp
optnone+noinlineon any function past 512k instructions (PERRY_LL_RS4GC_OPTNONE_INSTRS, registered as a build-cache key per#6394). The cap sits between the largest known-fine function (~413k) and the pathological one (~2.1M), biased low: a false positive costs code size in one already-degenerate function, a false negative costs an unbounded compile.optnonegates only the middle-end, so the statepoint lowering and compact GC map are unchanged in kind. The external text path re-parses the rewritten text and already derives its tier from post-rewrite sizes, so it needs no twin.3. LLVM unit workers ran on 2 MiB stacks
Scoped codegen-unit workers used Rust's default stack. LLVM pass and ISel recursion scales with function size, and a relocation-grown function can hit the guard page — a SIGBUS with no crash report. They now reserve 64 MiB, which is address space, not resident memory, until touched.
