Problem

  • perf_hooks.createHistogram() accepts a number option that is not an integer: { lowest: 1.5 }, { figures: 2.5 } and { highest: 2 ** 53 } return a histogram. Node v26.3.0 throws ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE.
  • createHistogram({ highest: 2n ** 63n - 1n }) throws TypeError: Failed to initialize histogram on x64 (Bug: CPU and event-loop delay are missing on Linux Bun openclaw/openclaw#143800). Node accepts it.
  • The cause is createHistogram in src/js/node/perf_hooks.ts:332. Its checks do not test for an integer. It converts a BigInt with Number(), which rounds the int64 maximum up to 2 ** 63.

Fix

  • Number options go through validateInteger() in the order of Node v26.3.0: lowest, highest, figures. The class, code and message match. The shared validator raised max to min when min > max, which let { lowest: 2 ** 52, highest: 2 ** 53 } pass. That clamp is removed, and no other caller can pass min > max.
  • A BigInt option is checked as a BigInt and reaches hdr_init() unconverted. Node v26.3.0 throws a TypeError or aborts for most BigInt options, so this branch is validateHistogramOptions from Node main. The code stays ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE.
  • new histogram.constructor(1.5, NaN, 2.5) had no check. It now throws ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR, as in Node. Options that hdr_init() still rejects throw ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE (Invalid histogram options), as in Node v26.9.0.
  • Verified: test/js/bun/perf_hooks/histogram.test.ts. 9 new tests fail on bun 1.4.3-canary. The file passes under node --test v26.3.0.

Background

  • createHistogram() returns a histogram backed by HdrHistogram. lowest and highest bound the tracked values, and figures is the number of accurate digits. hdr_init() takes all three as integers.
  • validateInteger() in internal/validators is the Bun port of the Node validator. It throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE unless the value is a number, and ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE unless it is an integer in range.
  • histogram.record() truncates in the same way. node:perf_hooks: make Histogram values and argument checks match node #43060 fixes it.

{ lowest: 2n ** 53n + 3n, highest: 2n * lowest, figures: 1 } ok ok ok (the check is exact, with no rounding through a double)

Why x64 and arm64 differ today. truncateDoubleToInt64 is cvttsd2si on x64, which returns INT64_MIN for 2 ** 63. On arm64 it is vcvtd_s64_f64, which saturates. I ran the canary on both: arm64 accepts { highest: 2n ** 64n } and { highest: Infinity } and clamps them. With this PR every platform throws for these, like Node.

When hdr_init() rejects the options. Options can pass every check and still fail in HdrHistogram, for example { lowest: 2 ** 51, highest: 2 ** 53 - 1, figures: 5 }. Bun threw TypeError: Failed to initialize histogram with no code. Node v26.3.0 to v26.8.2 abort. Node v26.9.0 throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE with the message Invalid histogram options (HistogramBase::New in src/histogram.cc), and Bun now throws the same.

The validateInteger() clamp. src/jsc/bindings/NodeValidator.cpp had max_num = std::max(min_num, max_num) in both overloads since the first C++ version (#13757). With min > max it accepted exactly value == min and printed <= min. I checked all 81 call sites in src/js and all 17 in C++. Every other caller passes constant bounds, or a min that cannot be above max (shard.index after shard.total >= 1, argon2 8 * parallelism, the node:test mock call index). createHistogram with 2 * lowest is the only one that can pass min > max. Ran the Node tests for the callers: test-buffer-{alloc,compare-offset,copy,fill,readint,writeint}, test-console-group, test-crypto-{argon2,hkdf,keygen-bit-length}, test-fs-cp-*-mode-*, test-http2-getpackedsettings, test-process-{euid-egid,exit-code-validation,initgroups,setgroups,uid-gid}, test-runner-mocking, test-vm-timeout, and test/js/node/buffer.test.js.

Not changed here

  • A received -0 prints as Received 0 (the shared ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE formatter). This is the only difference from Node v26.3.0 left in my number probe.
  • jsFunction_createHistogram in C++ is not changed. Its BigInt branch (JSBigInt::toBigInt64) was unreachable before, because the JS side always passed a number. It is exact for a value that passed the new range check.
  • histogram.constructor.name stays Histogram (Node: RecordableHistogram). util.inspect() builds its prefix from that name. With the name changed it prints RecordableHistogram {}, and Node prints Histogram {...} from a custom inspect, so the change needs that inspect too. The same constructor also backs monitorEventLoopDelay(), which is ELDHistogram in Node.
  • record(), percentile(), min and max: node:perf_hooks: make Histogram values and argument checks match node #43060. add() argument wording: node errors: render a single class name in ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE as "an instance of" like node #38694.

Other suites run: test/js/node/perf_hooks/perf_hooks.test.ts, test-perf-hooks-timerify-histogram-sync.mjs, test-perf-hooks-timerify-histogram-async.mjs, the monitorEventLoopDelay case of test/cli/test/isolation.test.ts, and histogram.test.ts with BUN_JSC_validateExceptionChecks=1.

Self-reviewed. The review asked for a rework of the first draft, and this PR is that rework. Addressed: the BigInt checks lost exactness above 2 ** 53 and changed the error code, the int64 maximum still failed, and the constructor skipped the validation. Not taken: record() in this PR, because #43060 already fixes it. Not taken: a separate tracking issue for the int64 maximum, because this PR fixes it and links the report.

createHistogram() checked lowest, highest and figures by hand. A number
that was not an integer passed the checks, and the native side
truncated it. A BigInt went through Number(), so the int64 maximum
rounded up to 2 ** 63 and hdr_init() failed on x64.

Number options now go through validateInteger() in the order that Node
v26.3.0 uses: lowest, highest, figures. A BigInt option is checked as a
BigInt, the way validateHistogramOptions() on Node main does it, and
reaches the native function without a conversion.

The Histogram constructor took the same three values with no check. It
now throws ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR, as in Node.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two things the BigInt/constructor changes depend on: jsFunction_createHistogram in src/jsc/bindings/JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogramPrototype.cpp:393-406 converts BigInt args with JSBigInt::toBigInt64, which is exact for values already bounded to 1n..2n**63n-1n by the new JS check; and monitorEventLoopDelay (JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogramPrototype.cpp:452) builds its histogram via JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogram::create directly, so removing the constructor's [[Construct]] path does not affect it.

Extended reasoning...

Findings were already reported inline, so this body only records what else was examined. The "What changed" summary flagged two open questions: whether the C++ jsFunction_createHistogram handles BigInt arguments correctly now that the JS layer passes them through unconverted, and whether deleting new Histogram(...) construction breaks another caller. Reading JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogramPrototype.cpp shows the BigInt branch uses JSBigInt::toBigInt64, which is lossless for any value that passed the new 1n..kMaxInt64 range check, and the only other histogram producer (jsFunction_monitorEventLoopDelay) calls JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogram::create directly rather than the JS-visible constructor, so the ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR change does not reach it. No structured-clone registration exists for this class, so that path is not affected either.

Walkthrough

Histogram creation now validates number and BigInt bounds without coercing BigInts to numbers. Direct Histogram construction now always throws ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR. Tests cover validation boundaries, errors, mixed types, recording, and constructor behavior.

Changes

Histogram creation and constructor behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Histogram option validation
src/js/node/perf_hooks.ts
createHistogram validates numeric and BigInt bounds, safe or int64 limits, relative ranges, and figures.
Native constructor behavior
src/jsc/bindings/JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogramConstructor.cpp
The exposed constructor declares zero parameters, removes the internal factory, and always throws ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR.
Validation and constructor coverage
test/js/bun/perf_hooks/histogram.test.ts
Tests cover numeric and BigInt inputs, mixed bounds, validation order, error messages, recording, limits, and illegal construction.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to efd49

This change tightens createHistogram() option validation to match Node.js behavior and makes direct construction of Histogram objects always fail with a clear error, while the normal factory function continues to work correctly for valid inputs. The remaining open item is a minor test-authoring style suggestion (using describe.each for parameterized cases) that affects test readability/reporting granularity, not runtime behavior, so the change is safe to merge with that follow-up noted.

… the hdr_init error

The shared validateInteger() raised max to min when min was above max.
createHistogram() is the only caller that can pass such a range
(2 * lowest above MAX_SAFE_INTEGER), and it then accepted
{ lowest: 2 ** 52, highest: 2 ** 53 }. Node never changes max, so the
clamp is removed.

When hdr_init() rejects options that passed validation, throw
ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE "Invalid histogram options" as Node v26.9.0 does,
in place of a TypeError with no code.

Review round 1, answered in the threads. Summary:

  • { lowest: 2 ** 52, highest: 2 ** 53 } passed (perf_hooks.ts:348): confirmed, fixed in c80bb50. The shared validateInteger raised max to min when min > max. Node never changes max, so the clamp is removed. createHistogram is the only one of the 81 JS and 17 C++ call sites that can pass min > max. The PR notes have the audit and the Node tests I ran for the other callers.
  • hdr_init() failure had no code (perf_hooks.ts:362): fixed in c80bb50. It now throws ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE with Invalid histogram options, the error of Node v26.9.0. Older Node releases abort there.
  • Multi-line comment (comment-cop): fixed in ea64935. Each comment is one line.
  • constructor.name: not changed. With the name set to RecordableHistogram, util.inspect(h) prints RecordableHistogram {}. Today it prints Histogram [RecordableHistogram] {}, and Node prints Histogram {...}. The Node test asserts startsWith("Histogram"), so the rename alone is a step back. It needs the class split and a custom inspect.
  • describe.each(): not applied. The file uses node:test so that it also runs under real Node, and node:test has no each helpers.

test/js/bun/perf_hooks/histogram.test.ts now has 9 new tests. All 9 fail on bun 1.4.3-canary, and all 47 tests pass on this branch.

I re-reviewed the latest push (c80bb50 and the two comment-only commits after it) and found no bugs; the follow-up commit addresses what I raised earlier on the validator clamp and the uncoded hdr_init failure. A human look is still worthwhile because this drops a clamp from the shared validateInteger used by ~100 callers, deletes the new Histogram(lowest, highest, figures) construct path, and follows unreleased Node main rather than v26.3.0 for the BigInt branch.

What was reviewed:

  • NodeValidator.cpp clamp removal: checked every C++ call site with a computed bound (Buffer.fill end uses byteLength with min 0, HKDF/keygen/VM/process use constants) and the JS sites with computed min (argon2 8 * parallelism, 2 * lowest) — none can pass min > max besides createHistogram, which now wants the real bounds.
  • BigInt pass-through: jsFunction_createHistogram uses JSBigInt::toBigInt64, exact for values that survived the new [1n, INT64_MAX] check; number values reach truncateDoubleToInt64 only after validateInteger bounded them to [1, MAX_SAFE_INTEGER].
  • Deleted construct path: no other src/js or src/jsc code constructs the class directly; monitorEventLoopDelay and createHistogram both go through the host functions.
  • Tests: the { skip: !process.versions.bun } guards each carry a comment naming the Node behavior they avoid, so nothing is skipped under Bun. I did not have a debug build available in this environment, so the test file was reviewed statically rather than run.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR replaces hand-rolled option validation in createHistogram (src/js/node/perf_hooks.ts) with validateInteger for number options in Node's order (lowest, highest, figures) and adds a validateHistogramBound helper for BigInt bounds checked against [1n, 2n**63n - 1n] without narrowing through Number(). It removes the max_num = std::max(min_num, max_num) clamp from both validateInteger overloads in src/jsc/bindings/NodeValidator.cpp, changes the hdr_init failure in JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogram.cpp from a bare TypeError to ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE "Invalid histogram options", and deletes the createHistogramInternal construct path in JSNodePerformanceHooksHistogramConstructor.cpp so new Histogram(...) throws ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR with length 0. About 200 lines of exact-message assertions were added to the existing test/js/bun/perf_hooks/histogram.test.ts.

Security risks

None specific to this change. The validation is strictly tighter than before: numbers reach truncateDoubleToInt64 only after being bounded to [1, MAX_SAFE_INTEGER], and BigInts reach JSBigInt::toBigInt64 only inside int64 range, which removes the previous x64/arm64 divergence on 2**63 and Infinity. The remaining C++ path in jsFunction_createHistogram still uses non-throwing asNumber/toBigInt64 on values, but those are only reachable from the builtin module after validation, and hdr_init failures now surface as a coded error rather than an abort. The mixed BigInt/number comparison (highest < minimumHighest) is a JS relational comparison, which is exact across the types.

Level of scrutiny

Moderate. The runtime code is small and I traced each path statically, but three aspects are judgment calls a maintainer should confirm rather than a bot: (1) the shared validateInteger clamp removal is a behavior change for any caller that could pass min > max — I audited the C++ call sites with computed bounds (JSBuffer.cpp fill end against byteLength with min 0; HKDF, keygen, VM timeout, process ids with constants) and the JS sites with computed min (crypto.ts argon2 8 * parallelism against MAX_POSITIVE_UINT_32, and 2 * lowest here) and found none other than createHistogram that can invert, matching the author's claim; (2) deleting the constructible path is an observable API removal, though nothing in src/js or src/jsc constructs the class directly and Node also throws; (3) the BigInt branch deliberately follows an unreleased Node main commit rather than v26.3.0, which is a compat-policy choice.

Other factors

The prior run's two code-level comments (the validator clamp and the uncoded hdr_init error) are addressed in commit c80bb50; the third (constructor name Histogram vs Node's RecordableHistogram) is explicitly listed in the PR as not changed with a stated reason involving util.inspect, which is a reasonable scope decision. The test file uses node:test and the three skip: !process.versions.bun guards each carry a comment explaining the Node v26.3.0 behavior they avoid, so under Bun every test runs. No debug build was present in this environment and building one was out of budget for this review, so I did not execute the tests; the assertions read as consistent with the code paths (including the 10n suffix in the mixed-type message, which the JS template produces for both number and BigInt minimumHighest). No CODEOWNERS entries cover the changed files.

No code change for this round. For the maintainer, the three decisions that the re-review names, and where the PR body supports each:

  • Clamp removed from the shared validateInteger: the audit of the call sites and the Node tests I ran for the other callers are in the notes, under "The validateInteger() clamp". createHistogram is the only caller that can pass min > max.
  • new Histogram(lowest, highest, figures) removed: Node v26.3.0 throws ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR with Illegal constructor for the same call, and its test-perf-hooks-histogram.js asserts that. Nothing in src/ constructs the class through this path.
  • BigInt branch follows Node main: Node v26.3.0 throws a TypeError or aborts for most BigInt options, so it gives nothing to copy. The BigInt table in the notes shows v26.3.0, the canary and Node nightly side by side. Number options keep the v26.3.0 text.

#46650 replaced the histogram bindings that this PR edits, and it validates the createHistogram() options. I ran this PR's histogram.test.ts against main (a0cc096): 43 of 47 tests pass.

  • The cases from the description pass on main. A number option that is not an integer throws ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE. createHistogram({ highest: 2n ** 63n - 1n }) works on x64. new histogram.constructor() throws ERR_ILLEGAL_CONSTRUCTOR. The validateInteger clamp is gone.
  • For 56 number inputs, the error class, code and message on main are the same as on Node v26.3.0.
  • For 45 BigInt inputs, main accepts and rejects the same inputs as this PR.
  • Three of the four failing tests differ only in the code or text of the error for an invalid option: { lowest: 5n, highest: 9 }, { highest: 0n }, and a lowest too large for figures. This PR took those errors from validateHistogramOptions on Node's main branch. Main follows Node v26.3.0 there.
  • The fourth is an older expectation in this copy of the file, that percentiles holds BigInts. Main holds numbers.

Closing as superseded by #46650.
