      [TypeFeedbackVector] Root feedback vectors at function literal site. · aea3ce3d
      mvstanton authored
      TypeFeedbackVectors are strongly rooted by a closure. However, in modern
      JavaScript closures are created and abandoned more freely. An important
      closure may not be present in the root-set at time of garbage collection,
      even though we've cached optimized code and use it regularly. For
      example, consider leaf functions in an event dispatching system. They may
      well be "hot," but tragically non-present when we collect the heap.
      
      Until now, we've relied on a weak root to cache the feedback vector in
      this case. Since there is no way to signal intent or relative importance,
      this weak root is as susceptible to clearing as any other weak root at
      garbage collection time.
      
      Meanwhile, the feedback vector has become more important. All of our
      ICs store their data there. Literal and regex boilerplates are stored there.
      If we lose the vector, then we not only lose optimized code built from
      it, we also lose the very feedback which allowed us to create that optimized
      code. Therefore it's vital to express that dependency through the root
      set.
      
      This CL does this by creating a strong link to a feedback
      vector at the instantiation site of the function closure.
      This instantiation site is in the code and feedback vector
      of the outer closure.

      [TypeFeedbackVector] Root literal arrays in function literals slots · 93df0940
      mvstanton authored
      Literal arrays and feedback vectors for a function can be garbage
      collected if we don't have a rooted closure for the function, which
      happens often. It's expensive to come back from this (recreating
      boilerplates and gathering feedback again), and the cost is
      disproportionate if the function was inlined into optimized code.
      
      To guard against losing these arrays when we need them, we'll now
      create literal arrays when creating the feedback vector for the outer
      closure, and root them strongly in that vector.
