This PR ports the ARM64 FJCVTZS instruction optimization from Boa's JavaScript engine to improve ToInt32 conversion performance on ARM64 architectures using function-specific target features and runtime detection.

Key Features

Hardware-Accelerated Conversion: Uses the FJCVTZS (Floating-point Javascript Convert to Signed fixed-point, rounding toward Zero) instruction on supported ARM64 systems for optimal performance.

Function-Specific Target Features: Uses #[target_feature(enable = "jsconv")] on the ARM64 optimization function following Rust's recommended approach for dynamic CPU feature detection, providing better safety guarantees than global compilation flags.

Optimized Feature Detection:

  • macOS ARM64: Direct hardware acceleration without runtime detection overhead since macOS ARM64 always supports jsconv
  • Other ARM64 platforms: Runtime feature detection using std::arch::is_aarch64_feature_detected!("jsconv") with built-in caching to prevent "Illegal instruction" errors on older ARM64 processors

Automatic Fallback: Seamlessly falls back to the generic implementation on:

  • Non-ARM64 architectures
  • ARM64 systems without JSCVT support (ARM v8.0-A through v8.2-A)

ARM64 CI Validation: Added ubuntu-24.04-arm runner to validate the optimization on actual ARM64 hardware and ensure proper feature detection across different ARM64 processor generations.

Implementation Details

The FJCVTZS instruction is specifically designed for ECMAScript's ToInt32 operation and is available on ARM v8.3-A processors and later. The implementation:

  • Uses function-specific #[target_feature(enable = "jsconv")] for precise control and safety
  • Maintains exact ECMAScript ToInt32 compliance with proper unsafe block usage
  • Includes proper NaN handling to prevent floating-point exceptions
  • Provides comprehensive test coverage for edge cases and implementation consistency
  • Validated on both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures through CI

Performance Impact

  • macOS ARM64: Maximum performance with direct hardware acceleration, zero runtime detection overhead
  • ARM v8.3-A and later (non-macOS): Significant performance improvement through dedicated hardware instruction with one-time feature detection
  • ARM v8.0-A through v8.2-A: No performance impact, uses existing generic implementation
  • Other architectures: Zero overhead, existing behavior preserved

Compatibility

✅ Full API compatibility - no breaking changes
✅ Safe across all ARM64 processor generations
✅ Automatic architecture detection and dispatch
✅ Comprehensive test coverage including consistency validation
✅ ARM64 CI validation on actual hardware
✅ No additional dependencies required
✅ Function-specific target feature configuration following Rust best practices

I'm late to the party, but @Brooooooklyn @sapphi-red can I check a couple of things?

Firstly: There's little doubt that this will be a gain for MacOS aarch64, because the CPU feature detection is at compile time. But on non-Mac aarch64, is_aarch64_feature_detected! macro involves an atomic read for the cache. That read uses Ordering::Relaxed, but I'm not sure if that still has a perf penalty on aarch64. So, in short, are we sure the cache read doesn't cost more than the gain of skipping the generic implementation? I'm guessing probably it's all good, but I just wanted to check.

More importantly: Is our CI covering all the paths? I don't know the details of Github Action runner machines. I assume runs-on: ubuntu-latest always gives you an x86_64 machine, and you've added a runs-on: ubuntu-24.04-arm job, but does runs-on: macos-latest always give you an M-series chip? And do ubuntu-24.04-arm machines have jsconv or not?

There's loads of places we could optimize code with SIMD and other CPU-features, and the main reason we haven't is the complications around testing on multiple platforms and benchmarking (to make sure what we assume are optimizations actually are).

So I'm wondering if either:

  1. It's maybe not worthwhile to introduce these complications here, when there's much higher-impact places we could introduce arch-specific code.
  2. If we're confident this is a good model, is this a template we can use for other similar optimizations in other areas?

Out of interest, did this change produce a measurable perf boost downstream in Rolldown?

According to the reference,

Thus, the CI does not cover the path that jsconv is not supported in arm64.

I'm not sure about this.

I guess it won't improve unless the input is an edge case. to_int_32 isn't used in many places (yet?). If I input a code that contains the following line for 300,000 lines, I only get a 3% boost for the minifier on M4 mac book air.
