Keep the executable's zero-filled data smaller than a transparent huge page - #47202
Update:#47129 fixed this failure on main after this PR was opened. This PR is closed. Its last comment says what it would still add. The text below describes main before #47129.
Problem
test/aot/perf/start.test.ts fails on linux-x64-debian-13-test-aot for some PRs (build 134355): BUDGET bun-serve: WORSE: privateKilobytes 2008 -> 3976.
Each Huffman-coded string loads the tables' address once. A 4 KB string takes 38,612 instructions to encode (38,609 on main) and 57,340 to decode (59,344). The first use makes 2 allocations and 1 free.
A static that takes .bss to 2 MiB fails the CI build (807 KB left).
Notes
Why the failure comes and goes. The kernel maps the zero-filled tail of the writable PT_LOAD as one anonymous mapping. On main's canary (11c3671) that is [0x85f5000, 0x87ff000), 2,138,112 bytes. A huge page needs [0x8600000, 0x8800000) wholly inside it, and the mapping ends 4 KB short. Linux builds are not position independent, so the link fixes the address. A build that fails does so on every retry.
Main moved into that layout after this PR was opened. Its canary 73b5310 maps [0x85f7000, 0x8801000), which holds [0x8600000, 0x8800000). With huge pages always on, a plain bun script.js of that build shows AnonHugePages: 2048 kB on the mapping.
Reproduction (kernel 6.1, /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled set to always; privateKilobytes of bun-serve / node-http from test/aot/perf/start.test.ts, budgets 2008 / 3036):
main canary, mapping grown by 5,288 bytes (p_memsz) so that it ends on the 2 MiB boundary
holds [0x8600000, 0x8800000)

1,290,240 bytes

this branch, mapping grown to the 2 MiB boundary the same way

2044 / 3008, 7 pass
AnonHugePages: 2048 kB shows on the .bss mapping of the failing build in /proc/<pid>/smaps and on none of the others.
Where the 852 KB were. From the linker map of the canary, the largest residents of .bss: hencs 524,288, bun_crash_handlerSIGALTSTACK 524,288, hdecs 262,144, tinycc hash_ident 131,072, lshpack_huff_tables_init.lut 65,536, mi_submap_empty 65,536, two tables of work records of 65,536 each, and about 220 KB of JSC::AOT tables. The three lshpack tables were already filled at the first use only. .bss: 2,140,568 to 1,288,600 bytes in a local x64 release build. The canaries for x64 musl, aarch64 and aarch64 musl have the same 2.14 MB and the same three tables.
Why not opt .bss out at start. Measured with a build that calls madvise(MADV_NOHUGEPAGE) over [__bss_start, _end) from __wrap___libc_start_main:
It fixes the case where Bun's own write is the first into the stretch (3964 to 2052).
It does not fix the case where the mapping ends on a 2 MiB boundary. lld puts the copy relocations (environ, stdin, stdout, stderr) at the end of .bss, and the dynamic loader writes them before the executable's first instruction: AnonHugePages: 2048 kB is there on entry.
Taking that page back needs every 4 KB page of it unmapped, and the used ones written back. Finding the used ones means reading 2 MiB: 276,000 more instructions at start (a compiled hello world goes from 2,670k to 2,946k), which fails the same test on thousandInstructions.
musl and Android have no hook before the static constructors.
The other route.2064b74 on #46528 allocates two statics of that branch at first use for the same reason. They do not exist on main, so main stays over 2 MiB with it.
The tables.lshpack_huff_tables_init is a load and a test when the tables exist. The first call builds them into one calloc of 786,432 bytes and publishes the pointer with a compare-and-swap. A thread that loses the race frees its copy. The 65,536-byte scratch table is freed after the build. If an allocation fails, it calls Bun__outOfMemory (passed as -DLS_HPACK_OOM), so the report says out of memory. packages/h3blast links the same objects without Bun's runtime, so it defines that function too. lshpack_enc_init, lshpack_dec_init, lsqpack_enc_preinit and lsqpack_dec_init call it. So every encoder and decoder has the tables, also a QPACK encoder that is only preinitialized, which lsquic uses before the peer's settings arrive. On Linux and macOS the calloc is mimalloc's, so the tables sit in its arenas, which are opted out of huge pages. A process holds 7,904 kB of anonymous memory after its first HTTP/2 round trip, and 8,028 kB before this change (medians of 7 runs).
Each of the four functions that read the tables (lshpack_enc_huff_encode, lshpack_dec_huff_decode, qenc_huffman_enc, huff_decode_fast) loads their address once, into a local with the table's name. The first version of this PR loaded it at each lookup: the encoder's loop took 13 instructions for each 2 input bytes where main takes 11. It takes 11 again.
Checked in harnesses against main's patch: the tables are byte for byte the same. With 16 threads that start at once, 16 builds ran, 31 blocks were freed and every thread saw one table, with no report from AddressSanitizer (leak check on) or ThreadSanitizer.
Instruction counts. User instructions for each call (perf_event_open), lshpack.c compiled alone with the flags of the release build. Each number is the same in every run.

Run on main's canaries it reports a violation: 2,138,112 bytes (x64), 2,142,208 (x64 musl), 2,146,304 (aarch64). It is a validation of the link, so in CI it fails the build step.

A debug or AddressSanitizer build has about 11.5 MB of .bss and is not checked.
What this does not cover. Debug and AddressSanitizer builds. Thread stacks, which are anonymous mappings that nothing opts out. Huge page sizes below 2 MiB, which kernel 6.8 and later use where an administrator enables them.
Sizes..bss goes from 2,140,568 to 1,288,600 bytes in a local x64 release build. A plain bun build --compile of a hello world is 851,968 bytes smaller (134,773,240 to 133,921,272), because such a file stores its .bss.
Suites run on the release build of this branch:test/js/bun/binary/tls-segment-size.test.ts, test/internal/build-post-link-ordering.test.ts (22), test/aot/perf/start.test.ts, test/js/bun/http/serve-http2.test.ts (93), test/js/bun/http/serve-http3.test.ts (83), test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http2-client.test.ts (83), test/js/web/fetch/fetch-http3-client.test.ts (82), test/js/node/http2/node-http2.test.js (419), test/js/node/http2/h2-conformance.test.ts (122), test/js/node/quic/quic-stream.test.ts (13).
On a debug build with AddressSanitizer: the two test files above, and the same seven HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 suites with no sanitizer report. One test of fetch-http2-client.test.ts ("fetch rejects when the server renegotiates TLS 1.2 on an HTTP/2 connection") ran into its 5 second limit in the full run and passes when run alone.
The new tests across builds (tls-segment-size.test.ts, "is smaller than a transparent huge page" / "the first HTTP/2 request fills no large table in it"):
The second test measures in a new process (bunExe()), because a test process that already spoke HTTP/2 has the tables built. The new process takes 3 to 7 seconds in a debug build here, so that test has a 60 second limit on debug builds only.
h3blast. Linked against the objects of this branch, it made 32,980 HTTP/3 requests from 2 threads to a Bun.serve of this branch, with 0 errors. With a calloc that fails for the tables it prints error out of memory and exits with code 1. The link needed -no-pie and scratch definitions of 8 functions that BoringSSL's objects take from Bun's runtime (OPENSSL_memory_*, OPENSSL_system_*, OPENSSL_pem_public_base64_*): h3blast does not link on main, and that repair is not part of this PR.
The new tests do not depend on the kernel's huge page setting: one reads the ELF program headers, the other has a process read its own memory.

…e page
The HPACK Huffman tables (hencs, hdecs and the scratch table they are built
from: 852 KB) are allocated at the first lshpack or lsqpack init, where they
were already built. They were zero-filled data of the executable. .bss goes
from 2.14 MB to 1.29 MB on Linux x64.
A test reads the program headers of a release build on Linux. It fails when
the zero-filled part of a writable segment reaches 2 MiB.
Status: closed. #47129 fixed the failure on main, so this PR is not necessary for it (see #47202 (comment)).
How I reproduced the failure (on main before #47129):
Take main's canary build (11c3671) on Linux x64. Its .bss mapping is [0x85f5000, 0x87ff000).
Grow p_memsz of the writable PT_LOAD by 5,288 bytes, so that the mapping ends on the 2 MiB boundary 0x8800000.
Set /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled to always.
Run test/aot/perf/start.test.ts with that binary.
Result: BUDGET bun-serve: WORSE: privateKilobytes 2008 -> 3976 and node-http: 3036 -> 4952, the numbers of build 134355. The same binary passes with THP madvise, and the unmodified canary passes with THP always.
The canary 73b5310 showed it with no change to the binary: its .bss mapping [0x85f7000, 0x8801000) holds [0x8600000, 0x8800000), and a plain bun script.js has AnonHugePages: 2048 kB there with THP always.

Walkthrough
The pull request replaces BSS-backed large Huffman tables with shared tables built on demand. It updates lshpack and lsqpack build integration and adds ELF verification and tests for writable zero-filled mappings.
Changes
Lazy Huffman table integration
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Build and publish shared Huffman tables patches/lshpack/lazy-huff-tables.patch, scripts/build/deps/lshpack.ts, scripts/build/deps/lsquic.ts, packages/h3blast/src/h3blast.c
lshpack allocates and publishes shared encode and decode tables in lazy mode. Encoder and decoder initialization load the shared tables. The build passes Bun__outOfMemory as the allocation-failure callback and selects the lazy-table build flag.
Use shared tables in lsqpack patches/lsqpack/lazy-huff-tables.patch, patches/lsqpack/bss-huff-tables.patch, scripts/build/deps/lsqpack.ts
lsqpack initializes and loads the shared tables during encoder and decoder setup. The build selects the lazy-table patch, replacing the former BSS-table patch.
ELF zero-filled mapping checks
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Configure and enforce ELF zero-filled limits scripts/build/binary-expectations.ts, scripts/build/verify-binary.ts
Linux release expectations set a 2 MiB limit for writable zero-filled ELF mappings. Stripped expectations preserve the limit. The verifier measures writable load-segment tails and reports a violation when the largest tail meets or exceeds the limit.
Test ELF limits and mapped memory test/internal/build-post-link-ordering.test.ts, test/js/bun/binary/tls-segment-size.test.ts
Tests cover the configured limit, tail-size calculations, and Linux executable mappings. An HTTP/2 test checks newly filled memory after a request.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I also checked: the publication argument for the relaxed hencs/hdecs loads holds, since every user of the tables runs lshpack_huff_tables_init (acquire load or acquire-on-failure CAS) in program order before any lookup; struct henc/struct hdec/struct lshpack_huff_tables are layout-identical in the lshpack and lsqpack patches; the only callers in Bun's own code and in lsquic reach the tables through the four patched init functions; and the changed hunk offsets are not a problem because scripts/build/fetch-cli.ts applies patches with git apply, which locates context at an offset.
Extended reasoning...
The change moves the lshpack/lsqpack HPACK Huffman tables from .bss to a single calloc'd struct published through a CAS, renames the gating macro in three build scripts, and adds an ELF-program-header test that bounds .bss below 2 MiB on Linux release builds. It touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface, but it is a vendored-C patch with weakened atomics and a new allocation-failure path, which is why the inline finding and a human look are warranted rather than approval.

lshpack_huff_tables_init calls the function that LS_HPACK_OOM names when an
allocation fails. Bun's build passes Bun__outOfMemory. Without the define
it calls abort().
lsqpack_enc_preinit builds the tables, so an encoder that is only
preinitialized does not depend on another init. lsqpack_enc_init does not
build them itself: it calls lsqpack_enc_preinit, or runs after it.
A failed allocation of the tables now reports out of memory through Bun__outOfMemory, on every init path. It does not return -1: the decoder inits return void, and Http2Connection ignores the result of lshpack_enc_init.
lsqpack_enc_preinit builds the tables, so a QPACK encoder that is only preinitialized does not depend on the decoder's init.
Checked on a release build: the HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 suites from the notes pass, and the disassembly of lshpack_huff_tables_init has the call to Bun__outOfMemory. The three review threads have the details.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked that every path to the hencs/hdecs macros goes through lshpack_huff_tables_init first: lshpack_enc_init/lshpack_dec_init call it directly, lsqpack_enc_init without LSQPACK_ENC_OPT_STAGE_2 runs lsqpack_enc_preinit (and lsquic calls preinit before its STAGE_2 init), and lsqpack_dec_init calls it — Bun's own callers (src/jsc/bindings/c-bindings.cpp, packages/bun-uws/src/Http2Context.h) only use those entry points. The allocation-failure path from the earlier push now reaches Bun__outOfMemory for the one object that allocates (lshpack.o); lsqpack.c compiled under lsquic never allocates, so it needs no LS_HPACK_OOM define.
Extended reasoning...
The change moves the 768 KB HPACK/QPACK Huffman tables from .bss to a calloc'd struct published with a compare-and-swap, renames the guard macro across three dep build scripts, wires allocation failure to Bun__outOfMemory via a cflag, and adds a Linux-only ELF program-header test asserting the writable PT_LOAD zero-filled tail stays under 2 MB. It touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface; the new code is vendored-C patch text plus build config. Two inline findings (the h3blast link break from the new Bun__outOfMemory import and the hand-rolled ELF parser duplicating a harness helper) are posted separately, so a human still needs to look; this note only records what else was ruled out in this run.

The three points from my earlier passes are addressed by 0e5a7a9, a549cc9 and 765f81b, and I found no bugs in this version. Because the change replaces static tables with a lock-free, heap-published singleton inside a vendored dependency shared by HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, a human look at the patch would still be worthwhile.
What was reviewed:
The publish protocol in patches/lshpack/lazy-huff-tables.patch: calloc/free pair the same allocator, the losing CAS racer frees its copy, the scratch LUT is freed on the success path, and the acquire on the early-return load gives later relaxed hencs/hdecs loads a visible table.
Init coverage: lshpack_enc_init, lshpack_dec_init, lsqpack_enc_preinit and lsqpack_dec_init are the only entry points Bun's callers (c-bindings.cpp, Http2Context.h, lsquic) use before a Huffman lookup.
Build wiring: LS_HPACK_LAZY_LARGE_TABLES reaches lshpack.ts and lsquic.ts (which compiles lsqpack.c); LS_HPACK_OOM is passed via cflags because string defines are quoted; h3blast now resolves Bun__outOfMemory itself; no stale references to the old BSS names remain.
The test uses the harness ELF reader and page-rounds each writable PT_LOAD tail the way the kernel maps it.
Extended reasoning...
The change renames and rewrites the lshpack/lsqpack vendor patches so the 768 KB HPACK Huffman tables are calloc'd and published through an atomic compare-and-swap at the first encoder/decoder init instead of living in .bss, adds a Bun__outOfMemory hook via -DLS_HPACK_OOM, defines that hook in the standalone h3blast tool, and adds a Linux-only ELF program-header test that fails when zero-filled data reaches 2 MiB. It touches no auth, crypto, or input-parsing surface; the security-relevant aspect is only allocation failure, which now routes to the OOM handler. All three findings I posted on earlier pushes were fixed by follow-up commits, and the bug hunt ran dry with no new findings. Deferring rather than approving because the core of the PR is lock-free initialization inside vendored C that every HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 connection depends on, and an unverified coderabbit thread at lshpack.ts:68 is not marked resolved, though commit a549cc9 plausibly addresses it.
The coders read the tables through macros that loaded their address at
each lookup. The encoder's loop took 13 instructions for each 2 input
bytes where the static tables took 11. Each of the four functions now
loads the address once, into a local with the table's name, so its
loops are those of the static tables again.
The build of the tables is a function of its own, so an init that finds
them is a load and a test.
verify-binary.ts fails a build for Linux or Android that ships and whose
zero-filled data (.bss) could hold a transparent huge page. This is a
new requirement on those binaries, taken on deliberately: at 2 MiB or
more the address of the link decides whether every process takes 2 MB
more where transparent huge pages are always on, and nothing can opt the
mapping out before the dynamic loader writes to it.
…data
The test reads the zero-filled data of its own process before and after
an HTTP/2 request, so it also runs on a debug build. The size limit of
test/internal/zero-filled-data-below-a-huge-page.test.ts moves beside it
into test/js/bun/binary/tls-segment-size.test.ts.

A number that llvm-readobj does not print made the zero-filled data
count as 0 bytes, which passes. The scan now fails, and it also fails
when it finds no zero-filled data at all.
A test process that already spoke HTTP/2 has the tables built, so the
test found nothing newly filled whatever the build. CI runs many test
files in one process.
test/aot/perf/start.test.ts on main now holds the same limit on the
running binary, and the link holds it for every target. The test of the
first HTTP/2 request stays.
Closing: #47129 fixed the failure on main after this PR was opened.
It allocates ALL_RECORDS at first use and upgrades WebKit, and main's zero-filled data is now about 1.88 MB on Linux, so no huge page fits. The link check of this branch with main 3a9ea00 merged in printed 1,028,096 bytes for Linux x64, and this branch removes 851,968 bytes. That puts main at about 1,880,064 bytes, 217 KB below 2 MiB.
It adds a size test to test/aot/perf/start.test.ts. That file does not fail in main's build of that commit (build 134846).
This PR is not necessary for the failure any more. What it still has:
852 KB more margin: the HPACK Huffman tables leave .bss.
A check of the limit at the link, for every Linux and Android target.

Reopen it if that is wanted. The one red step of its last CI run (cargo-test, a compile error in bun_bundler) is also red in main's build 134846.

.bssis the executable's zero-filled static data. The kernel maps it as anonymous memory.madviseon.bssat start (Replace c-ares with a DNS resolver in safe Rust #47076). The dynamic loader writes there first when.bssends on a 2 MiB boundary.Downsides
.bssto 2 MiB fails the CI build (807 KB left).Notes
Why the failure comes and goes. The kernel maps the zero-filled tail of the writable
PT_LOADas one anonymous mapping. On main's canary (11c3671) that is[0x85f5000, 0x87ff000), 2,138,112 bytes. A huge page needs[0x8600000, 0x8800000)wholly inside it, and the mapping ends 4 KB short. Linux builds are not position independent, so the link fixes the address. A build that fails does so on every retry.Main moved into that layout after this PR was opened. Its canary 73b5310 maps
[0x85f7000, 0x8801000), which holds[0x8600000, 0x8800000). With huge pagesalwayson, a plainbun script.jsof that build showsAnonHugePages: 2048 kBon the mapping.Reproduction (kernel 6.1,

They do not exist on main, so main stays over 2 MiB with it.
The tables.
lshpack_huff_tables_initis a load and a test when the tables exist. The first call builds them into onecallocof 786,432 bytes and publishes the pointer with a compare-and-swap. A thread that loses the race frees its copy. The 65,536-byte scratch table is freed after the build. If an allocation fails, it callsBun__outOfMemory(passed as-DLS_HPACK_OOM), so the report says out of memory.packages/h3blastlinks the same objects without Bun's runtime, so it defines that function too.lshpack_enc_init,lshpack_dec_init,lsqpack_enc_preinitandlsqpack_dec_initcall it. So every encoder and decoder has the tables, also a QPACK encoder that is only preinitialized, which lsquic uses before the peer's settings arrive. On Linux and macOS thecallocis mimalloc's, so the tables sit in its arenas, which are opted out of huge pages. A process holds 7,904 kB of anonymous memory after its first HTTP/2 round trip, and 8,028 kB before this change (medians of 7 runs).Each of the four functions that read the tables (
lshpack_enc_huff_encode,lshpack_dec_huff_decode,qenc_huffman_enc,huff_decode_fast) loads their address once, into a local with the table's name. The first version of this PR loaded it at each lookup: the encoder's loop took 13 instructions for each 2 input bytes where main takes 11. It takes 11 again.Checked in harnesses against main's patch: the tables are byte for byte the same. With 16 threads that start at once, 16 builds ran, 31 blocks were freed and every thread saw one table, with no report from AddressSanitizer (leak check on) or ThreadSanitizer.

verify-binary.tsprints the size for every build:1290240 bytes of zero-filled datafor a local x64 release build of this branch. Run on main's canaries it reports a violation: 2,138,112 bytes (x64), 2,142,208 (x64 musl), 2,146,304 (aarch64). It is a validation of the link, so in CI it fails the build step.
