On arm64, Windows Performance Recorder gets confused by the fact that fp in Builtins_JSEntry doesn't point to the saved {fp, lr} pair for the caller frame. The expected usage of fp is documented in [1]: The frame pointer (x29) is required for compatibility with fast stack walking used by ETW and other services. It must point to the previous {x29, x30} pair on the stack. In slightly more detail, the Windows function RtlWalkFrameChain is responsible for generating stack traces during profiling with Windows Performance Recorder, and that function relies on the rule quoted above. Notably, it does not make any effort to read the unwinding data that one could obtain with RtlLookupFunctionEntry. Stack walks using that data, such as those performed by WinDbg and the cctest StackUnwindingWin64, work fine. It would be convenient if we could use fp in a more standard way during JSEntry so that Windows profiling tools work correctly. (We can also reduce JSEntry by two instructions in doing so.) Both arm and arm64 currently put a -1 value on the stack at the location that fp points to. This could prevent accidental access during the epilog of JSEntry, where fp might be zero. However, we believe that this protection is no longer necessary, and any bug that causes a read from fp during the end of JSEntry would cause various CQ failures.
