[Jarred-Sumner]

Three things that go together. All three dependencies' PRs are merged, and both pins are commits of their main branches.

	What	From
1	The address space ballast is removed, and patches/mimalloc/ with it	oven-sh/WebKit#937, oven-sh/mimalloc#63
2	mimalloc goes from v3.5.3 to v3.6.0	oven-sh/mimalloc#64
3	ICU goes from 78.3 to 79.1 (Unicode 18.0, CLDR 49)	oven-sh/WebKit#936

About 3: oven-sh/WebKit#936 merged just before oven-sh/WebKit#937, so no commit of WebKit's main has one without the other. It changes some locale text (fr hours, th short time, zh-Hant short zone names) and makes EST5EDT, CST6CDT, MST7MDT and PST8PDT resolve to the zones the IANA database links them to.

What people will see, all of it CLDR 49 (an ICU 79.1 that is not Bun's gives the same). Node has ICU 78.3, so Bun differs from Node in these until Node moves:

	ICU 78.3	ICU 79.1
toLocaleDateString("ko")	1970. 1. 1.	1970/1/1
en, { month: "short", year: "2-digit" }	Jan 70	Jan ’70
timeZoneName: "long", Europe/London and Europe/Dublin in winter, every locale tried	Greenwich Mean Time	GMT+00:00
timeZoneName: "long", Pacific/Honolulu	Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time	Hawaii Time

#47314 is the same ICU upgrade by itself. The test changes here that overlap with it are the same lines.

The Intl snapshots run only on the ICU version they were made with, so they are regenerated (one value differs, the Korean date). They exist to catch a fault in Bun's compressed ICU data, so each value was also compared with a Node that links an ICU 79.1 whose data is not compressed: 385 of 389 are the same, and the other 4 differ in the case of the first letter of a display name, as they did with ICU 78.3.

1. The ballast and the patches

What

The address space ballast is removed. Under a limit on address space (ulimit -v), an executable compiled with --aot kept 8 MB of address space unused. When a malloc that may not fail found no memory, it released 1 MB and tried again, so that the thread could reach a point where it throws a RangeError. mimalloc is not built for that, and it took ten patches, each fixing what the one before exposed. It was still best effort: a request larger than what was left of the reserve crashed anyway.

Such a malloc crashes on purpose again, as it does in plain Bun and in upstream JavaScriptCore. Allocations that can fail (strings, arrays, typed arrays, ArrayBuffer) still throw a RangeError.

patches/mimalloc/ is gone. We maintain a fork, so what is worth keeping is a commit there.

Patches	Count	Outcome
The ballast	10	Deleted
hand-out-last-freed, hand-out-resident-slices	2	Deleted, see below
new-oom-hook, look-in-every-bin-of-an-exclusive-arena, secure-guard-pages-are-protected, out-of-memory-is-no-corruption	4	Commits in the fork
environment-sets-sizes-and-pace-only	1	A generic MI_GETENV_ALLOWED in the fork. The same 16 names now live in scripts/build/deps/mimalloc.ts. No change in behavior.

What stays

The cage reserved in segments under a limit, the RangeError at the object limit, the reserve of the structure heap, and new Worker() throwing a TypeError when there is no room for another thread.

The two hand-out patches

They made the allocator hand out the memory that was freed last while an --aot build runs. Because aot is on by default, every thread-local mi_free in every Bun process paid for the test: 23 → 26 instructions on arm64, one of them a load of a global.

bun build --compile --aot of typescript/lib/_tsc.js, macOS arm64, canary 8d5672c55, six runs each in turn, switched off with MIMALLOC_HAND_OUT_LAST_FREED=0. Min / median / max:

	On	Off
Peak footprint (MB)	553 / 585 / 676	523 / 530 / 542
Instructions (G)	382.2 / 382.8 / 384.3	381.7 / 382.6 / 383.1
Cycles (G)	175.8 / 176.8 / 182.2	177.7 / 179.2 / 179.9
System CPU (ms)	1171 / 1418 / 1760	1213 / 1457 / 1484

Not measured on Linux, or on a large program. If they show a real gain there, they can come back as fork commits behind a define.

Tests removed

All of them assert survival once address space is gone, which is no longer promised.

File	Removed
test/aot/heap-limit-cases.ts	5 tests ("... where no address space is left", "... gets back only what malloc keeps, goes on", "... shapes of objects and of address space in one stretch ...")
test/aot/workers-within-address-space-limit-cases.ts	5 groups, 15 cases ("... find no room at once ...", "... has taken all the room, and the program goes on", "wave after wave ..."), and their 4 fixtures
test/aot/two-builds-give-the-same-bytes.test.ts	1 test that used the deleted option as its switch
test/internal/build-hardened-flags.test.ts	1 test about the hand-out patch list. The others now check the MI_GETENV_ALLOWED define.

2. mimalloc v3.6.0

Change	Why
MIMALLOC_COMMIT	The merge of upstream v3.6.0 into the fork
purge_holes = 56 in src/mimalloc_sys/mimalloc.rs	The fork's options come after upstream's, and upstream added six. 50 is now profile_time_interval

Every other option number in that enum was compared with the merged header and is unchanged.

To go back to v3.5.3 with the same fork commits, pin 6da53c355e1332db3161e0749111926ed35bc986 and set purge_holes = 50.

What differs from upstream's defaults, and why, is in oven-sh/mimalloc#64: cache offsets only for blocks above 512 KiB, no purge on the thread that frees, page_reclaim_on_free at 0.

Memory against the previous pin

Linux x64, 64 cores, CI builds of this branch with v3.5.3 (6da53c35) and with v3.6.0 at an earlier commit (eab19c23, before the two changes to the defaults), 5 interleaved rounds, medians in MB. The two builds differ in mimalloc alone.

Workload	Peak, v3.5.3	Peak, v3.6.0	After going idle, v3.5.3	After going idle, v3.6.0
Startup	16.7	16.7	14.4	14.6
3M objects, 1 in 2000 kept	583.4	578.9	96.6	91.4
Buffers of mixed sizes	3170.5	3168.9	33.3	33.0
48 MiB buffers in a loop	66.5	66.3	18.8	18.7
4 waves of 16 Workers	582.1	587.9	36.9	36.1
Bun.serve under load	54.4	52.6	32.7	32.4
Bundling a 17 MB file	825.7	810.2

The ranges of the five runs do not overlap for the bundle peak and for the objects after going idle. The Workers peak is noise (568 to 620 against 560 to 660).

Costs

	v3.5.3	v3.6.0
mi_malloc, arm64 instructions	22	23
mi_free, arm64 instructions	35	35
sizeof(mi_theap_t)	8240	8920
Binary size		+24 KB Linux x64, +48 KB macOS arm64, +114 KB Windows x64

Not measured

Speed (the machine was busy, so the timings are rough and show no difference), memory on macOS, Windows or arm64, and a real application.

Testing

• macOS arm64, release build against the WebKit branch: it links, none of the removed symbols are in the binary, allocation-heavy JS and a Worker run, a huge ArrayBuffer is still a catchable RangeError, and a program built with --compile --aot runs. That build had the ballast removed but predates the hand-out removal and the move to the fork commit.
• test/internal/build-hardened-flags.test.ts passes (11 of 11), and the build scripts typecheck.
• CI on the final commit (build 134939): 180 jobs passed and none failed. That is every build lane, every Linux test job (Debian, Ubuntu and Alpine, x64 and arm64), the 20 ASAN jobs, the hardened lane, cargo-test, and Windows x64 and arm64.
• Not run: the macOS test jobs. No machine picked them up in any build of this PR. The macOS build lanes pass, and the fork's own CI passes on macOS.
• Five tests needed a retry (testFFI, no-leak-records-at-exit, native-contract, decorators). Each needed one as often in build 134852, which is main with a one-line fix.
• test/js/bun/wasm/compile-rss.test.ts failed once and passed on retry in an earlier build with v3.6.0 on Alpine arm64: 10.8 MiB kept against a limit of 10. It did not in the final build. Its fixture, 24 runs per version on Linux x64, shows no difference (idle median -0.7 against -0.8 MiB, none over the limit).
• The engine's own tests passed on Linux x64 and arm64 in [JSC] AOT: remove the address space ballast WebKit#937, the hardened AOT lanes among them.

^{Updated 12:05 AM PT - Oct 29th, 2026}

@Jarred-Sumner, your commit cff01fb is building: #134939

[Jarred-Sumner]

Lint JavaScript fails at "Fetch the engine's code generators" with a 404: the preview release of oven-sh/WebKit#937 (autobuild-preview-pr-937-bebb09cb) is not published yet. The lint and the typecheck of the build scripts before that step pass. It needs a re-run once that release exists.

[claude]

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the parts of this removal that could silently drift: the 16-name namesReadFromLockedEnvironment list in scripts/build/deps/mimalloc.ts matches the table in the deleted environment-sets-sizes-and-pace-only.patch name for name, the mi_is_read_from_environment extern in src/jsc/compiled_program.rs stays behind cfg(bun_locked_environment) (the same lockEnvironment condition that now sets MI_GETENV_ALLOWED), and a repo-wide search finds no remaining references to mi_must_*, hand_out_last_freed, MIMALLOC_HAND_OUT_LAST_FREED, patches/mimalloc/, or the fixtures deleted from the two -cases.ts files. The switch of the Rust GlobalAlloc back to plain mi_malloc/mi_realloc (null to Rust's alloc error handler on failure) matches the PR's stated intent of crashing on a must-not-fail allocation as plain Bun does, so I did not flag it.

Extended reasoning...

The change deletes all 17 patches under patches/mimalloc/, bumps the oven-sh/mimalloc fork pin, moves the locked-environment allow-list into a MI_GETENV_ALLOWED define, drops the mi_must_* allocator entry points from the Rust GlobalAlloc and the fake_mimalloc shims, and removes about 20 ulimit -v survival tests; it touches no injection, auth, or data-exposure surface, though it changes out-of-memory behavior of hardened builds. The inline findings (the WebKit preview-tag pin and the hardened/debug thread-local-heap abort) already signal that a human must look before merge, so this note only records the mirrored-table and stale-reference checks that came back clean.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

[claude]

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked that the 16 names in namesReadFromLockedEnvironment are exactly the table the deleted environment-sets-sizes-and-pace-only.patch carried, that mi_is_read_from_environment is only declared and called under cfg(bun_locked_environment) (matching the define being set only with lockEnvironment), that no mi_must_*, hand_out_last_freed or patches/mimalloc reference remains anywhere in the tree, and that the five tests dropped from heap-limit-cases.ts and the fixtures dropped from workers-within-address-space-limit-cases.ts leave no dangling references.

Extended reasoning...

The change deletes all 17 mimalloc patches, bumps the fork pin, swaps the global allocator from the retry-from-reserve mi_must_* entry points to plain mi_*, and removes the ballast tests; it touches no injection, auth or data-exposure surface. The fork commit, the MI_GETENV_ALLOWED parsing and the mi_option_t numbering it relies on cannot be verified from this checkout, and the WebKit pin is still a preview tag, so a human look remains warranted.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

cargo clippy fails here because it fails on main: src/bundler/aot/testing.rs:84 (added by #47129) calls Transpiler::fs(), which #47273 removed. This PR does not touch that file. #47299 fixes it, and this branch gets rebased once that merges.

Walkthrough

The change updates the pinned mimalloc source and its locked-environment configuration, removes mimalloc patch files and allocator bindings, and deletes related AOT tests. It also changes the default WebKit source revision and updates ICU-related test expectations.

Changes

Mimalloc update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update mimalloc build configuration scripts/build/deps/mimalloc.ts, scripts/build/source.ts, src/jsc/compiled_program.rs, test/aot/hardened-environment.test.ts, test/internal/build-hardened-flags.test.ts	The build pins a new mimalloc revision, removes configured patch selection, and defines the locked-environment allowlist when enabled. Dependency patch resolution no longer accepts configuration callbacks. Tests check the define, and the environment-query comment identifies the build configuration.
Update allocator bindings and AOT coverage src/bun_alloc/lib.rs, src/mimalloc_sys/mimalloc.rs, src/sema/standalone/native.rs, src/aot/compile.rs, test/aot/heap-limit-cases.ts, test/aot/two-builds-give-the-same-bytes.test.ts, test/aot/workers-within-address-space-limit-cases.ts	The Bun allocator uses nullable mimalloc allocation and reallocation functions. The mi_must_* bindings and wrappers, the hand_out_last_freed option, and its AOT build toggles are removed. Several AOT memory-pressure tests and an allocator-order test are deleted.
Remove mimalloc patch files patches/mimalloc/*	Patch files describing address-space keeper callbacks, allocation retries, arena and page handling, environment filtering, OOM handling, and guard-page handling are deleted. Their proposed source edits are no longer supplied by these files.

WebKit revision

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Change default WebKit revision scripts/build/deps/webkit.ts	The default WebKit version changes to a new commit hash.

ICU test expectations

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update ICU version and output expectations test/js/node/process/process.test.js, test/js/node/test/parallel/test-datetime-change-notify.js, test/js/node/test/parallel/test-intl.js, test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts	Tests use ICU 79.1 as the minimum version, compare versions with Bun.semver.order, and accept alternate date and time-zone formatting output.

Possibly related issues

• oven-sh/bun#47177: The PR removes AOT address-space exhaustion tests and changes the mimalloc revision, but the summaries do not establish that it changes the reported AWS Lambda startup failure.
• oven-sh/bun#46576: The PR upgrades mimalloc and changes the purge_holes option value, which touches the allocator path named in the issue. The summaries do not establish that it fixes the reported livelock.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Low · up to cff01

The remaining concerns are bounded test-maintenance and allocation-pressure coverage gaps. Restore the upstream ICU assertions while retaining focused Bun coverage; these concerns do not establish a production regression.

932-932: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Restore coverage for sibling workers after one worker runs out of memory.

This PR deletes the three tests that ran several workers under ulimit -v, let one worker exhaust memory, and checked that the other workers still completed. No retained test covers that case. Add a test that asserts every unaffected worker prints its completion line and the program exits 0.

Suggested test shape

Restore one of the removed cases, or add a case with a worker that allocates until it fails and several workers that print a completion line after it. Keep the exact stdout and exitCode assertions so a missing completion line fails the test.

⚠️ Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Test gap: removing the large-object/spread and Blob cases under exhausted address space may leave nullable JS allocations untested in the condition most likely to distinguish a catchable failure from an unchecked null.

A regression that crashes instead of reporting an appropriate allocation error could pass the surviving shown heap-limit tests.

This can occur when: A Linux AOT program constructs a large Blob from text or spread-copies an object after reaching a restrictive ulimit -v.

470-470: Minor · Potential issue · Heavy lift

⚠️ Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Build startup no longer enables handing out the most recently freed blocks. If the replacement allocator does not reuse those blocks comparably, successive AOT stages may reserve fresh pages while freed pages remain resident.

Peak memory may rise enough for an otherwise successful build to fail or be killed.

This can occur when: A memory-constrained AOT build frees a large stage's allocations and shortly afterward allocates similarly sized blocks in another stage.

[Jarred-Sumner]

On the two nitpicks in CodeRabbit's review, which ask for deleted tests back:

• Sibling Workers going on after one runs out of address space (workers-within-address-space-limit-cases.ts). That is what the ballast did, and removing it is the point of this PR: a malloc that may not fail and finds no memory ends the process again. heap-limit-cases.ts still covers a Worker that reaches its object limit, ends alone with a RangeError, and leaves the main thread running.
• The shape limit together with ulimit -v (heap-limit-cases.ts). The address space half of that test relied on the ballast. The structures half is now heap-cage/cage/error-owed-for-structures-is-heard-of-by-their-allocator in the engine's tests ([JSC] AOT: remove the address space ballast WebKit#937).

[Jarred-Sumner]

Build 134926 is red because CI could not create machines, not because anything failed. 42 jobs were cancelled before they started, each with CapacityLimitExceeded from EC2:

Cancelled	Count
Alpine 3.23 aarch64 test-bun	20
Alpine 3.23 x64 test-bun	20
verify-baseline, x64-musl and aarch64-musl	2

No job that ran has failed so far. Both musl build-bun lanes passed, so the binaries those jobs would have tested exist. The cancelled jobs need a retry once there is capacity.

The WebKit pin is now a 40-hex SHA rather than the preview tag flagged earlier, so that build-break concern is addressed by this push. Beyond the inline finding, I also checked for leftovers of the removal: a repo-wide search finds no remaining references to mi_must_*, hand_out_last_freed, MIMALLOC_HAND_OUT_LAST_FREED, the deleted patches/mimalloc/ paths, or the old mimalloc/WebKit SHAs, and the Dependency.patches function form in scripts/build/source.ts is deleted together with its last user.

Extended reasoning...

Since the last review the push replaced the preview-tag WebKit pin with a merged SHA, deleted the patches function form in scripts/build/source.ts, and the only open inline finding is the new ICU-version snapshot skip in test/js/web/intl/intl.test.ts. The dead-code sweep for the removed mi_must_ entry points, the hand-out option, and the patch paths came up clean across src/, scripts/ and test/.

Review comments at @test/js/node/test/parallel/test-datetime-change-notify.js:
- Around line 29-30: Restore the Europe/Dublin expectation to accept only Irish
Standard Time or Greenwich Mean Time, removing the Bun-specific comment and
GMT+00:00 alternative from the vendored Node.js test. Cover Bun’s GMT+00:00
output in a Bun-owned Intl test without quarantining the entire Node.js test
file.

Review comments at @test/js/node/test/parallel/test-intl.js:
- Around line 92-93: Restore the upstream assertion for localeString in the
vendored test-intl.js instead of keeping the Bun-specific regex. Add a separate
Bun-owned assertion in the Intl tests that checks the exact Bun output for the
two-digit year, without excluding the vendored test file.
