Allow jit to examine type of initonly static ref typed fields #20886

Merged

Conversation

The jit incorporates the value of integer and float typed initonly static
fields into its codegen, if the class initializer has already run.

The jit can't incorporate the values of ref typed initonly static fields,
but the types of those values can't change, and the jit can use this knowledge
to enable type based optimizations like devirtualization.

In particular for static fields initialized by complex class factory logic the
jit can now see the end result of that logic instead of having to try and deduce
the type of object that will initialize or did initialize the field.

Examples of this factory pattern in include EqualityComparer<T>.Default and
Comparer<T>.Default. The former is already optimized in some cases by via
special-purpose modelling in the framework, jit, and runtime (see #14125) but
the latter is not. With this change calls through Comparer<T>.Default may now
also devirtualize (though won't yet inline as the devirtualization happens
late).

Addresses #4108.

Why not? What guarantees it that you won't come here for collectible types?

Not sure. This follows what we do with getFieldAddress so there is evidently some constraint on how the jit models more complex field accesses that leads us to never call back for these cases.

But probably better not to rely on this and just add the disqualifying check here.

I do not think there needs to be disqualifying check on this path. This path should work just fine for fields on collectible types too.

The reason why getFieldAddress does not return addresses for collectible types is that the storage is not pinned for them, and so you cannot burn the address into the JITed code.

This is not sufficient condition. The static constructor has to be finished running for this to be true. Consider this:

using System;

class Test
{
    static readonly object s;

    static Test()
    {
       s = new object();
       DoStuff();
       s = "Method";
    }

    static void DoStuff()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(s.GetType());
    }

    static void Main()
    {
    }

Good point -- is checking that pEnclosingMT->IsClassInited() sufficient?

Yes, it should be. You may want to do it inside the block above only when you are returning the classhandle (e.g. IsClassInited does not work when pEnclosingMT is shared generic).

bool *pIsFinal or bool *pIsImmutable?

Or flip this around and have bool *pIsSpeculative flag instead. When the EE returns *pIsSpeculative = true, it would mean that the answer is a guess that the JIT has to emit a test for. I think bool *pIsSpeculative would work well as a general pattern for other APIs (e.g. devirtualization). If the JIT is not interested in speculative answer, it would pass pIsSpeculative: NULL.

Most of the regressions here are "reconciliation" issues in corelib, where we see different methods get jitted. Almost certainly a testing artifact, though something I need to look at more closely.

Improvements are seen for fields like current culture and text encoder, some specialized type comparisons, and number of cases where we already were devirtualizing but can now also omit a null check.

Also makes some headway into the patterns for the test case in #17273 that we don't optimize very well; eg in Common() we now can do a late devirtualization.

@dotnet/jit-contrib one thing I should highlight.

Because the values returned by this new jit interface method can change over time (even in the non-speculative case), it creates a problem for SPMI. I haven't looked at SPMI in detail but my guess is that only the last of these answers will survive in the results cache. So the SPMI replay may not be completely faithful recreation of the jit-ee traffic.

I thought about caching the result of this query on the jit side on the root compiler, so that from the jit perspective the answer wouldn't change in the middle of jitting a method, but haven't done that. So it's possible in a method with a lot of field accesses that they get optimized differently if a jitting thread is racing with an initializing thread.

Note we have this situation already with int and float typed initonly statics.

My understanding is that for collectible classes the runtime data structures may get recycled when the class is collected, so we need to be careful about making direct references to them from jitted code.

CoreFx test is trying to set a static readonly field and failing...

This is bad test. I would disable it in https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/tests/CoreFX/CoreFX.issues.json and delete in CoreFX.

The compiled version of the test didn't fail, so jitted code is able to alter the field still.

The invalid expressions tends to have different behavior between interpretted and compiled mode.

It is close to impossible to make this check 100% bullet proof. There are many (unsafe) ways to get the readonly field and modify it. The reflection check should catch the most common cases.

Should I add this test case somewhere under tests\src\reflection ?

Yes. (Alternatively, it can be also in corefx repo. I think having low-level tests like this in CoreCLR is fine.)

calling SetValueDirect looks like it will require an IL test as C# won't let me build a TypedReference to a readonly static outside the class initializer.

I do not think you need to write it in IL. The error handling for SetValueDirect is bogus. The TypedReference can point to anything for static fields, it just cannot be null:

public class Program
{
    public static readonly string s = "Hello";
    static void Main()
    {
        int i = 0;
        typeof(Program).GetField("s").SetValueDirect(__makeref(i), "World");
        Console.WriteLine(s);
    }
}

CoreFX failure in NoPlaintextExportAllowsEncryptedPkcs8 seems unrelated. Need to make a few minor edits and rebase to get past a merge conflict so will see what happens when this gets rerun.

The jit incorporates the value of integer and float typed initonly static
fields into its codegen, if the class initializer has already run.

The jit can't incorporate the values of ref typed initonly static fields,
but the types of those values can't change, and the jit can use this knowledge
to enable type based optimizations like devirtualization.

In particular for static fields initialized by complex class factory logic the
jit can now see the end result of that logic instead of having to try and deduce
the type of object that will initialize or did initialize the field.

Examples of this factory pattern in include `EqualityComparer<T>.Default` and
`Comparer<T>.Default`. The former is already optimized in some cases by via
special-purpose modelling in the framework, jit, and runtime (see dotnet#14125) but
the latter is not. With this change calls through `Comparer<T>.Default` may now
also devirtualize (though won't yet inline as the devirtualization happens
late).

Addresses #4108.
Also remove assert for collectible classes and fix typo.
Flip the sense of the return flag for getStaticFieldCurrentClass and update
remainder of code accordingly.

Change jit to not ask for speculative results.
Rename bool out parameters to have `p` prefix for clarity.

Defer fetching field attributes if class is not initialized.

…serializers.

Make serializers abstract classes instead of interfaces.

Now nested tuples perf is c.5-10x faster than JSON and profiler is almost clean.

Utf8Json could use same technique for formatters, but that's a lot of stupid refactoring work and
should be done in a distant future at least after System.Text.Json is shipped.

The jit incorporates the value of integer and float typed initonly static
fields into its codegen, if the class initializer has already run.

The jit can't incorporate the values of ref typed initonly static fields,
but the types of those values can't change, and the jit can use this knowledge
to enable type based optimizations like devirtualization.

In particular for static fields initialized by complex class factory logic the
jit can now see the end result of that logic instead of having to try and deduce
the type of object that will initialize or did initialize the field.

Examples of this factory pattern in include `EqualityComparer<T>.Default` and
`Comparer<T>.Default`. The former is already optimized in some cases by via
special-purpose modelling in the framework, jit, and runtime (see dotnet/coreclr#14125) but
the latter is not. With this change calls through `Comparer<T>.Default` may now
also devirtualize (though won't yet inline as the devirtualization happens
late).

Also update the reflection code to throw an exception instead of changing the value
of a fully initialized static readonly field.

Closes dotnet/coreclr#4108.
