This PR is a work in progress.

I've added a flag RUBY_TYPED_DECL_MARKING that can be used inside the rb_data_type_t flags section to determine whether a T_DATA object can be declaratively marked or not.

If this flag is set then we can use the data struct member as a pointer to an array of offsets that we can use in conjunction with the data struct to find fields that require marking.

I've modified gc_mark_children to use this offset array if present to test the system.

This is the general idea as I understood it, yes.

Always look up instance variable buffers when iterating.  It is possible
for the instance variable buffer to change out from under the object
during iteration, so we cannot cache the buffer on the stack.

In the case of Bug #19095, the transient heap moved the buffer during
iteration:

```

In general though, any calls back out to the interpreter could change
the IV buffer, so it's not safe to cache.

The interrupt check will unintentionally release the VM lock when loading an iseq.
And this will cause issues with the `debug` gem's
[`ObjectSpace.each_iseq` method](https://github.com/ruby/debug/blob/0fcfc28acae33ec1c08068fb7c33703cfa681fa7/ext/debug/iseq_collector.c#L61-L67),
which wraps iseqs with a wrapper and exposes their internal states when they're actually not ready to be used.

And when that happens, errors like this would occur and kill the `debug` gem's thread:

```
 DEBUGGER: ReaderThreadError: uninitialized InstructionSequence
┃ DEBUGGER: Disconnected.
┃ ["/opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/debug-1.7.1/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb:247:in `absolute_path'",
┃  "/opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/debug-1.7.1/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb:247:in `block in iterate_iseq'",
┃  "/opt/rubies/ruby-3.2.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/debug-1.7.1/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb:246:in `each_iseq'",
...
```

A way to reproduce the issue is to satisfy these conditions at the same time:

1. `debug` gem calling `ObjectSpace.each_iseq` (e.g. [activating a `LineBreakpoint`](https://github.com/ruby/debug/blob/0fcfc28acae33ec1c08068fb7c33703cfa681fa7/lib/debug/breakpoint.rb#L246)).
2. A large amount of iseq being loaded from another thread (possibly through the `bootsnap` gem).
3. 1 and 2 iterating through the same iseq(s) at the same time.

Because this issue requires external dependencies and a rather complicated timing setup to reproduce, I wasn't able to write a test case for it.
But here's some pseudo code to help reproduce it:

```rb
require "debug/session"

Thread.new do
  100.times do
    ObjectSpace.each_iseq do |iseq|
      iseq.absolute_path
    end
  end
end

sleep 0.1

load_a_bunch_of_iseq
possibly_through_bootsnap
```

YJIT: implement codegen for String#empty?
Fewer cycles running nops when these jumps are not taken. Fixing all
these so when they get copy pasted in the future we save on padding.
In Feature #19314, we concluded that the return value of String#bytesplice
should be changed from the source string to the receiver, because the source
string is useless and confusing when extra arguments are added.

This change should be included in Ruby 3.2.1.

[Bug #19793]

Dummy frames are created at the top level when requiring another file.
While requiring a file, it will try to convert using encodings. Some of
these encodings will not respond to to_str. If method_missing is
redefined on Object, then it will call method_missing and attempt raise
an error. However, the iseq is invalid as it's a dummy frame so it will
write an invalid iseq to the created NoMethodError.

The following script crashes:

```
GC.stress = true

class Object
  public :method_missing
end

File.write("/tmp/empty.rb", "")
require "/tmp/empty.rb"
```

With the following backtrace:

We're seeing a crash during shutdown in rb_gc_impl_objspace_free because
it's running lazy sweeping during shutdown. It appears that it's due to
`finalizing` being set, which causes GC to not be aborted and not
disabled which causes it to be in lazy sweeping at shutdown.

The full stack trace is:

During compilation, we write keyword default values into the iseq, so we
should mark it to ensure it does not get GC'd.

This might fix issues on ASAN like

[Bug #20921]

When we create a cache entry for a constant, the following sequence of
events could happen:

- vm_track_constant_cache is called to insert a constant cache.
- In vm_track_constant_cache, we first look up the ST table for the ID
  of the constant. Assume the ST table exists because another iseq also
  holds a cache entry for this ID.
- We then insert into this ST table with the iseq_inline_constant_cache.
- However, while inserting into this ST table, it allocates memory, which
  could trigger a GC. Assume that it does trigger a GC.
- The GC frees the one and only other iseq that holds a cache entry for
  this ID.
- In remove_from_constant_cache, it will appear that the ST table is now
  empty because there are no more iseq with cache entries for this ID, so
  we free the ST table.
- We complete GC and continue our st_insert. However, this ST table has
  been freed so we now have a use-after-free.

This issue is very hard to reproduce, because it requires that the GC runs
at a very specific time. However, we can make it show up by applying this
patch which runs GC right before the st_insert to mimic the st_insert
triggering a GC:

    diff --git a/vm_insnhelper.c b/vm_insnhelper.c
    index 3cb23f0..a93998136a 100644
    --- a/vm_insnhelper.c
    +++ b/vm_insnhelper.c
    @@ -6338,6 +6338,10 @@ vm_track_constant_cache(ID id, void *ic)
            rb_id_table_insert(const_cache, id, (VALUE)ics);
        }

    +    if (id == rb_intern("MyConstant")) rb_gc();
    +
        st_insert(ics, (st_data_t) ic, (st_data_t) Qtrue);
    }

And if we run this script:

    Object.const_set("MyConstant", "Hello!")

    my_proc = eval("-> { MyConstant }")
    my_proc.call

    my_proc = eval("-> { MyConstant }")
    my_proc.call

We can see that ASAN outputs a use-after-free error:

This commit fixes this bug by adding a inserting_constant_cache_id field
to the VM, which stores the ID that is currently being inserted and, in
remove_from_constant_cache, we don't free the ST table for ID equal to
this one.

In commit d42b9ff, an optimization was introduced that can speed up
Regexp#match by 15% when it matches with strings of different encodings.
This optimization, however, does not work across ractors. To fix this,
we only use the optimization if no ractors have been started. In the
future, we could use atomics for the reference counting if we find it's
needed and if it's more performant.

However, you need to run it with multiple ractors at once.

`name` is used via `RSTRING_PTR` within rb_str_catf, which may allocate
and thus potentially trigger GC. Although `name` is still referenced
by a local variable, the compiler might optimize away the reference
before the GC sees it, especially under aggressive optimization or when
debugging tools like ASAN are used.

This patch adds an explicit `RB_GC_GUARD` to ensure `name` is kept alive
until after the last use.

While it's not certain this is the root cause of the following observed
use-after-poison ASAN error, I believe this fix is indeed needed and
hopefully a likely candidate for preventing the error.

If we malloc when the current Ractor is locked, we can deadlock because
GC requires VM lock and Ractor barrier. If another Ractor is waiting on
this Ractor lock, then it will deadlock because the other Ractor will
never join the barrier.

For example, this script deadlocks:

    r = Ractor.new do
      loop do
        Ractor::Port.new
      end
    end

    100000.times do |i|
      r.send(nil)
      puts i
    end

On debug builds, it fails with this assertion error:

    vm_sync.c:75: Assertion Failed: vm_lock_enter:cr->sync.locked_by != rb_ractor_self(cr)

On non-debug builds, we can see that it deadlocks in the debugger:
