Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new two-way byte cache can, in multi-threaded programs, re-admit memory that has been freed or reused. Later Uint8Array or Buffer element reads and writes could then read or corrupt unrelated memory. Fix the synchronization between cache replacement and invalidation before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new byte-access paths have bounds checks and retain their fallback behavior, but concurrent cache updates may leave an address admitted after it has been revoked or freed. Whether the runtime permits the necessary concurrency remains unresolved. Retained concerns

Ready to merge once CI is clean. Part of #10515/#10694: Buffers are admitted to the byte-view cache (two-way, so hot buffers stop evicting each other), with inline typed Uint8Array/Buffer access and cache-first runtime accessors. nanoid −34%, uuid v7 −12.5%, v5 −10%; #10515 parameter loop goes from 876 to 76 instructions per element. Stated cost: about +1.2% on big.js alone, which becomes −42% when combined with #11588. The gap sweep shows no base-vs-branch differences; GC checks are clean. |
…andling points, out of line
…iming tests; IR-shape claims for the byte-view arm
…w cache #11555's thread-exit test primed PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE by reading the CryptoKey buffer through js_u8_buffer_read_f64, and probed the cache with the one-way slot formula. This PR stops admitting key material (it is not integer-indexed) and makes the cache two-way, so the 4th probe read false while the thread was alive. The cache is still PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE and its thread-exit release still clears every slot, both ways. The test now primes it with an ordinary Buffer on the same thread, asserts the key is refused, and reads the cache through a new runtime probe (u8_inline_cache_holds_for_test) instead of re-deriving the slot formula. With the cache release removed it fails with "PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE outlived the thread".

Synchronize cache replacement with invalidation.
PERRY_U8_INLINE_CACHE is process-global. A priming thread can load first, then thread-exit cleanup can clear the slots, and then the priming thread can store the stale address at pair + 1. A later allocation at that address can clear the entry first, but the delayed demotion can republish it afterward.
The runtime cache-hit arm runs before the non-indexed-buffer check, and the generated fast path performs direct byte access after the address-only cache check. A reused DataView, ArrayBuffer, or other non-byte object can therefore be accessed with the owning-byte-view layout.
Coordinate replacement and invalidation with a shared synchronization or generation protocol so a pre-invalidation entry cannot be republished.

…o count literals #11588 (forwarding hop, +3 blocks) and #11589 (byte-view arm, +3 blocks) each bumped the coupled-coercion test's hardcoded block count from 21 to 24; merged, the site has 27 blocks and the literal was stale. The codegen is correct: the byte-view arm yields a uitofp byte (a Number by construction, like the typed-array width arms) and the forwarding hop yields no value. Both tests now compare against one shared DYNAMIC_INDEX_SITE_BLOCKS list (the full ordered shape, stronger than a length), and the coupled test additionally asserts the u8 and tav.w* arms never coerce.
