* Add support for WASI sockets to C API
Add support for WASI sockets in the C API by adding a new API to handle
preopening sockets for clients. This uses HashMap instead of Vec for
preopened sockets to identify if caller has called in more than once
with the same FD number. If so, then we return false so caller is given
hint that they are attempting to overwrite an already existing socket
FD.

* Remove the need to have a `Store` for an `InstancePre`
This commit relaxes a requirement of the `InstancePre` API, notably its
construction via `Linker::instantiate_pre`. Previously this function
required a `Store<T>` to be present to be able to perform type-checking
on the contents of the linker, and now this requirement has been
removed.
Items stored within a linker are either a `HostFunc`, which has type
information inside of it, or an `Extern`, which doesn't have type
information inside of it. Due to the usage of `Extern` this is why a
`Store` was required during the `InstancePre` construction process, it's
used to extract the type of an `Extern`. This commit implements a
solution where the type information of an `Extern` is stored alongside
the `Extern` itself, meaning that the `InstancePre` construction process
no longer requires a `Store<T>`.
One caveat of this implementation is that some items, such as tables and
memories, technically have a "dynamic type" where during type checking
their current size is consulted to match against the minimum size
required of an import. This no longer works when using
`Linker::instantiate_pre` as the current size used is the one when it
was inserted into the linker rather than the one available at
instantiation time. It's hoped, however, that this is a relatively
esoteric use case that doesn't impact many real-world users.
Additionally note that this is an API-breaking change. Not only is the
`Store` argument removed from `Linker::instantiate_pre`, but some other
methods such as `Linker::define` grew a `Store` argument as the type
needs to be extracted when an item is inserted into a linker.

This commit adds the missing "out of fuel" trap code to the C API.
Without this, calls to `wasmtime_trap_code` will trigger an unreachable panic
on traps from running out of fuel.
* Unconditionally use `MemoryImageSlot`
This commit removes the internal branching within the pooling instance
allocator to sometimes use a `MemoryImageSlot` and sometimes now.
Instead this is now unconditionally used in all situations on all
platforms. This fixes an issue where the state of a slot could get
corrupted if modules being instantiated switched from having images to
not having an image or vice versa.
The bulk of this commit is the removal of the `memory-init-cow`
compile-time feature in addition to adding Windows support to the
`cow.rs` file.
* Fix compile on Unix
* Add a stricter assertion for static memory bounds
Double-check that when a memory is allocated the configuration required

Previously extracting an exit code was only possibly on a `wasm_trap_t`
which will never successfully have an exit code on it, so the exit code
extractor is moved over to `wasmtime_error_t`. Additionally extracting a
wasm trace from a `wasmtime_error_t` is added since traces happen on
both traps and errors now.
* Return `anyhow::Error` from host functions instead of `Trap`
This commit refactors how errors are modeled when returned from host
functions and additionally refactors how custom errors work with `Trap`.
At a high level functions in Wasmtime that previously worked with
`Result<T, Trap>` now work with `Result<T>` instead where the error is
`anyhow::Error`. This includes functions such as:
* Host-defined functions in a `Linker<T>`
* `TypedFunc::call`
* Host-related callbacks like call hooks
Errors are now modeled primarily as `anyhow::Error` throughout Wasmtime.
This subsequently removes the need for `Trap` to have the ability to
represent all host-defined errors as it previously did. Consequently the
`From` implementations for any error into a `Trap` have been removed
here and the only embedder-defined way to create a `Trap` is to use
`Trap::new` with a custom string.
After this commit the distinction between a `Trap` and a host error is
the wasm backtrace that it contains. Previously all errors in host
functions would flow through a `Trap` and get a wasm backtrace attached
to them, but now this only happens if a `Trap` itself is created meaning
that arbitrary host-defined errors flowing from a host import to the
other side won't get backtraces attached. Some internals of Wasmtime
itself were updated or preserved to use `Trap::new` to capture a
backtrace where it seemed useful, such as when fuel runs out.
The main motivation for this commit is that it now enables hosts to
thread a concrete error type from a host function all the way through to
where a wasm function was invoked. Previously this could not be done
since the host error was wrapped in a `Trap` that didn't provide the
ability to get at the internals.
A consequence of this commit is that when a host error is returned that
isn't a `Trap` we'll capture a backtrace and then won't have a `Trap` to
attach it to. To avoid losing the contextual information this commit
uses the `Error::context` method to attach the backtrace as contextual
information to ensure that the backtrace is itself not lost.
This is a breaking change for likely all users of Wasmtime, but it's
hoped to be a relatively minor change to workaround. Most use cases can
likely change `-> Result<T, Trap>` to `-> Result<T>` and otherwise
explicit creation of a `Trap` is largely no longer necessary.

* Remove now-unnecesary `Trap` downcasts in `Linker::module`
* Fix test output expectations
* Remove `Trap::i32_exit`
This commit removes special-handling in the `wasmtime::Trap` type for
the i32 exit code required by WASI. This is now instead modeled as a
specific `I32Exit` error type in the `wasmtime-wasi` crate which is
returned by the `proc_exit` hostcall. Embedders which previously tested
for i32 exits now downcast to the `I32Exit` value.
* Remove the `Trap::new` constructor
This commit removes the ability to create a trap with an arbitrary error
message. The purpose of this commit is to continue the prior trend of
leaning into the `anyhow::Error` type instead of trying to recreate it
with `Trap`. A subsequent simplification to `Trap` after this commit is
that `Trap` will simply be an `enum` of trap codes with no extra
information. This commit is doubly-motivated by the desire to always use
the new `BacktraceContext` type instead of sometimes using that and
sometimes using `Trap`.
Most of the changes here were around updating `Trap::new` calls to
`bail!` calls instead. Tests which assert particular error messages
additionally often needed to use the `:?` formatter instead of the `{}`
formatter because the prior formats the whole `anyhow::Error` and the
latter only formats the top-most error, which now contains the
backtrace.
* Merge `Trap` and `TrapCode`
With prior refactorings there's no more need for `Trap` to be opaque or
otherwise contain a backtrace. This commit parse down `Trap` to simply
an `enum` which was the old `TrapCode`. All various tests and such were
updated to handle this.
The main consequence of this commit is that all errors have a
`BacktraceContext` context attached to them. This unfortunately means
that the backtrace is printed first before the error message or trap
code, but given all the prior simplifications that seems worth it at
this time.
* Rename `BacktraceContext` to `WasmBacktrace`
This feels like a better name given how this has turned out, and
additionally this commit removes having both `WasmBacktrace` and
`BacktraceContext`.

* Leverage Cargo's workspace inheritance feature
This commit is an attempt to reduce the complexity of the Cargo
manifests in this repository with Cargo's workspace-inheritance feature
becoming stable in Rust 1.64.0. This feature allows specifying fields in
the root workspace `Cargo.toml` which are then reused throughout the
workspace. For example this PR shares definitions such as:
* All of the Wasmtime-family of crates now use `version.workspace =
true` to have a single location which defines the version number.
* All crates use `edition.workspace = true` to have one default edition
for the entire workspace.
* Common dependencies are listed in `[workspace.dependencies]` to avoid
typing the same version number in a lot of different places (e.g. the
`wasmparser = "0.89.0"` is now in just one spot.
Currently the workspace-inheritance feature doesn't allow having two
different versions to inherit, so all of the Cranelift-family of crates
still manually specify their version. The inter-crate dependencies,
however, are shared amongst the root workspace.
This feature can be seen as a method of "preprocessing" of sorts for
Cargo manifests. This will help us develop Wasmtime but shouldn't have
any actual impact on the published artifacts -- everything's dependency
lists are still the same.
* Fix wasi-crypto tests
* Update to cap-std 0.26.

This commit builds on bytecodealliance/wasm-tools#690 to add support to
testing of the component model to execute functions when running
`*.wast` files. This support is all built on #4442 as functions are
invoked through a "dynamic" API. Right now the testing and integration
is fairly crude but I'm hoping that we can try to improve it over time
as necessary. For now this should provide a hopefully more convenient
syntax for unit tests and the like.

Fixes#4189
* Add shared memories
This change adds the ability to use shared memories in Wasmtime when the
[threads proposal] is enabled. Shared memories are annotated as `shared`
in the WebAssembly syntax, e.g., `(memory 1 1 shared)`, and are
protected from concurrent access during `memory.size` and `memory.grow`.
[threads proposal]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/threads/blob/master/proposals/threads/Overview.md
In order to implement this in Wasmtime, there are two main cases to
cover:
- a program may simply create a shared memory and possibly export it;
this means that Wasmtime itself must be able to create shared
memories
- a user may create a shared memory externally and pass it in as an
import during instantiation; this is the case when the program
contains code like `(import "env" "memory" (memory 1 1
shared))`--this case is handled by a new Wasmtime API
type--`SharedMemory`
Because of the first case, this change allows any of the current
memory-creation mechanisms to work as-is. Wasmtime can still create
either static or dynamic memories in either on-demand or pooling modes,
and any of these memories can be considered shared. When shared, the
`Memory` runtime container will lock appropriately during `memory.size`
and `memory.grow` operations; since all memories use this container, it
is an ideal place for implementing the locking once and once only.
The second case is covered by the new `SharedMemory` structure. It uses
the same `Mmap` allocation under the hood as non-shared memories, but
allows the user to perform the allocation externally to Wasmtime and
share the memory across threads (via an `Arc`). The pointer address to
the actual memory is carefully wired through and owned by the
`SharedMemory` structure itself. This means that there are differing
views of where to access the pointer (i.e., `VMMemoryDefinition`): for
owned memories (the default), the `VMMemoryDefinition` is stored
directly by the `VMContext`; in the `SharedMemory` case, however, this
`VMContext` must point to this separate structure.
To ensure that the `VMContext` can always point to the correct
`VMMemoryDefinition`, this change alters the `VMContext` structure.
Since a `SharedMemory` owns its own `VMMemoryDefinition`, the
`defined_memories` table in the `VMContext` becomes a sequence of
pointers--in the shared memory case, they point to the
`VMMemoryDefinition` owned by the `SharedMemory` and in the owned memory
case (i.e., not shared) they point to `VMMemoryDefinition`s stored in a
new table, `owned_memories`.
This change adds an additional indirection (through the `*mut
VMMemoryDefinition` pointer) that could add overhead. Using an imported
memory as a proxy, we measured a 1-3% overhead of this approach on the
`pulldown-cmark` benchmark. To avoid this, Cranelift-generated code will
special-case the owned memory access (i.e., load a pointer directly to
the `owned_memories` entry) for `memory.size` so that only
shared memories (and imported memories, as before) incur the indirection
cost.

* Change wasm-to-host trampolines to take the values_vec size
This commit changes the ABI of wasm-to-host trampolines, which are
only used right now for functions created with `Func::new`, to pass
along the size of the `values_vec` argument. Previously the trampoline
simply received `*mut ValRaw` and assumed that it was the appropriate
size. By receiving a size as well we can thread through `&mut [ValRaw]`
internally instead of `*mut ValRaw`.
The original motivation for this is that I'm planning to leverage these
trampolines for the component model for host-defined functions. Out of
an abundance of caution of making sure that everything lines up I wanted
to be able to write down asserts about the size received at runtime
compared to the size expected. This overall led me to the desire to
thread this size parameter through on the assumption that it would not
impact performance all that much.
I ran two benchmarks locally from the `call.rs` benchmark and got:
* `sync/no-hook/wasm-to-host - nop - unchecked` - no change
* `sync/no-hook/wasm-to-host - nop-params-and-results - unchecked` - 5%
slower
This is what I roughly expected in that if nothing actually reads the
new parameter (e.g. no arguments) then threading through the parameter
is effectively otherwise free. Otherwise though accesses to the `ValRaw`
storage is now bounds-checked internally in Wasmtime instead of assuming
it's valid, leading to the 5% slowdown (~9.6ns to ~10.3ns). If this
becomes a peformance bottleneck for a particular use case then we should
be fine to remove the bounds checking here or otherwise only bounds
check in debug mode, otherwise I plan on leaving this as-is.
Of particular note this also changes the C API for `*_unchecked`
functions where the C callback now receives the size of the array as
well.
* Add docs
The `wasmtime-cpp` test suite uncovered an issue where asking for the
frames of a trap would fail immediately after the trap was created. In
addition to fixing this issue I've also updated the documentation of
`Trap::frames` to indicate when it returns `None`.

A new version of rustc was released this morning and we have a few small

* A new warning was coming out of the c-api crate about an unneeded
`unsafe` block.
* The panic message of a task in `cranelift-object` needed updating
since the standard library changed how it formats strings with the nul
byte.
* Update to clap 3.0
This commit migrates all CLI commands internally used in this project
from structopt/clap2 to clap 3. The intent here is to ensure that we're
using maintained versions of the dependencies as structopt and clap 2
are less maintained nowadays. Most transitions were pretty
straightforward and mostly dealing with structopt/clap3 differences.
* Fix a number of `cargo deny` errors
This commit fixes a few errors around duplicate dependencies which
arose from the prior update to clap3. This also uses a new feature in
`deny.toml`, `skip-tree`, which allows having a bit more targeted
ignores for skips of duplicate version checks. This showed a few more
locations in Wasmtime itself where we could update some dependencies.
* Store the `ValRaw` type in little-endian format
This commit changes the internal representation of the `ValRaw` type to
an unconditionally little-endian format instead of its current
native-endian format. The documentation and various accessors here have
been updated as well as the associated trampolines that read `ValRaw`
to always work with little-endian values, converting to the host
endianness as necessary.
The motivation for this change originally comes from the implementation
of the component model that I'm working on. One aspect of the component
model's canonical ABI is how variants are passed to functions as
immediate arguments. For example for a component model function:
```
foo: function(x: expected<i32, f64>)
```
This translates to a core wasm function:
```wasm
(module
(func (export "foo") (param i32 i64)
;; ...
)
)
```
The first `i32` parameter to the core wasm function is the discriminant
of whether the result is an "ok" or an "err". The second `i64`, however,
is the "join" operation on the `i32` and `f64` payloads. Essentially
these two types are unioned into one type to get passed into the function.
Currently in the implementation of the component model my plan is to
construct a `*mut [ValRaw]` to pass through to WebAssembly, always
invoking component exports through host trampolines. This means that the
implementation for `Result<T, E>` needs to do the correct "join"
operation here when encoding a particular case into the corresponding
`ValRaw`.
I personally found this particularly tricky to do structurally. The
solution that I settled on with fitzgen was that if `ValRaw` was always
stored in a little endian format then we could employ a trick where when
encoding a variant we first set all the `ValRaw` slots to zero, then the
associated case we have is encoding. Afterwards the `ValRaw` values are
already encoded into the correct format as if they'd been "join"ed.
For example if we were to encode `Ok(1i32)` then this would produce
`ValRaw { i32: 1 }`, which memory-wise is equivalent to `ValRaw { i64: 1 }`
if the other bytes in the `ValRaw` are guaranteed to be zero. Similarly
storing `ValRaw { f64 }` is equivalent to the storage required for
`ValRaw { i64 }` here in the join operation.
Note, though, that this equivalence relies on everything being
little-endian. Otherwise the in-memory representations of `ValRaw { i32: 1 }`
and `ValRaw { i64: 1 }` are different.
That motivation is what leads to this change. It's expected that this is
a low-to-zero cost change in the sense that little-endian platforms will
see no change and big-endian platforms are already required to
efficiently byte-swap loads/stores as WebAssembly requires that.
Additionally the `ValRaw` type is an esoteric niche use case primarily
used for accelerating the C API right now, so it's expected that not
many users will have to update for this change.
* Track down some more endianness conversions
* Update wasm-tools crates
This commit updates the wasm-tools family of crates as used in Wasmtime.
Notably this brings in the update which removes module linking support
as well as a number of internal refactorings around names and such
within wasmparser itself. This updates all of the wasm translation
support which binds to wasmparser as appropriate.
Other crates all had API-compatible changes for at least what Wasmtime
used so no further changes were necessary beyond updating version
requirements.
* Update a test expectation
* Upgrade all crates to the Rust 2021 edition
I've personally started using the new format strings for things like
`panic!("some message {foo}")` or similar and have been upgrading crates
on a case-by-case basis, but I think it probably makes more sense to go
ahead and blanket upgrade everything so 2021 features are always
available.
* Fix compile of the C API
* Fix a warning
* Fix another warning
My previous PR at #3958 accidentally removed the only way to get type
information from a `wasmtime_module_t`, so this commit re-adds methods
back in to continue to be able to get import/export information from a
compiled module.
* Remove the module linking implementation in Wasmtime
This commit removes the experimental implementation of the module
linking WebAssembly proposal from Wasmtime. The module linking is no
longer intended for core WebAssembly but is instead incorporated into
the component model now at this point. This means that very large parts
of Wasmtime's implementation of module linking are no longer applicable
and would change greatly with an implementation of the component model.
The main purpose of this is to remove Wasmtime's reliance on the support
for module-linking in `wasmparser` and tooling crates. With this
reliance removed we can move over to the `component-model` branch of
`wasmparser` and use the updated support for the component model.
Additionally given the trajectory of the component model proposal the
embedding API of Wasmtime will not look like what it looks like today
for WebAssembly. For example the core wasm `Instance` will not change
and instead a `Component` is likely to be added instead.
Some more rationale for this is in #3941, but the basic idea is that I
feel that it's not going to be viable to develop support for the
component model on a non-`main` branch of Wasmtime. Additionaly I don't
think it's viable, for the same reasons as `wasm-tools`, to support the
old module linking proposal and the new component model at the same
time.
This commit takes a moment to not only delete the existing module
linking implementation but some abstractions are also simplified. For
example module serialization is a bit simpler that there's only one
module. Additionally instantiation is much simpler since the only
initializer we have to deal with are imports and nothing else.
Closes#3941
* Fix doc link
* Update comments
* Support disabling backtraces at compile time
This commit adds support to Wasmtime to disable, at compile time, the
gathering of backtraces on traps. The `wasmtime` crate now sports a
`wasm-backtrace` feature which, when disabled, will mean that backtraces
are never collected at compile time nor are unwinding tables inserted
into compiled objects.
The motivation for this commit stems from the fact that generating a
backtrace is quite a slow operation. Currently backtrace generation is
done with libunwind and `_Unwind_Backtrace` typically found in glibc or
other system libraries. When thousands of modules are loaded into the
same process though this means that the initial backtrace can take
nearly half a second and all subsequent backtraces can take upwards of
hundreds of milliseconds. Relative to all other operations in Wasmtime
this is extremely expensive at this time. In the future we'd like to
implement a more performant backtrace scheme but such an implementation
would require coordination with Cranelift and is a big chunk of work
that may take some time, so in the meantime if embedders don't need a
backtrace they can still use this option to disable backtraces at
compile time and avoid the performance pitfalls of collecting
backtraces.
In general I tried to originally make this a runtime configuration
option but ended up opting for a compile-time option because `Trap::new`
otherwise has no arguments and always captures a backtrace. By making
this a compile-time option it was possible to configure, statically, the
behavior of `Trap::new`. Additionally I also tried to minimize the
amount of `#[cfg]` necessary by largely only having it at the producer
and consumer sites.
Also a noteworthy restriction of this implementation is that if
backtrace support is disabled at compile time then reference types
support will be unconditionally disabled at runtime. With backtrace
support disabled there's no way to trace the stack of wasm frames which
means that GC can't happen given our current implementation.
* Always enable backtraces for the C API
* Delete historical interruptable support in Wasmtime
This commit removes the `Config::interruptable` configuration along with
the `InterruptHandle` type from the `wasmtime` crate. The original
support for adding interruption to WebAssembly was added pretty early on
in the history of Wasmtime when there was no other method to prevent an
infinite loop from the host. Nowadays, however, there are alternative
methods for interruption such as fuel or epoch-based interruption.
One of the major downsides of `Config::interruptable` is that even when
it's not enabled it forces an atomic swap to happen when entering
WebAssembly code. This technically could be a non-atomic swap if the
configuration option isn't enabled but that produces even more branch-y
code on entry into WebAssembly which is already something we try to
optimize. Calling into WebAssembly is on the order of a dozens of
nanoseconds at this time and an atomic swap, even uncontended, can add
up to 5ns on some platforms.
The main goal of this PR is to remove this atomic swap on entry into
WebAssembly. This is done by removing the `Config::interruptable` field
entirely, moving all existing consumers to epochs instead which are
suitable for the same purposes. This means that the stack overflow check
is no longer entangled with the interruption check and perhaps one day
we could continue to optimize that further as well.
Some consequences of this change are:
* Epochs are now the only method of remote-thread interruption.
* There are no more Wasmtime traps that produces the `Interrupted` trap
code, although we may wish to move future traps to this so I left it
in place.
* The C API support for interrupt handles was also removed and bindings
for epoch methods were added.
* Function-entry checks for interruption are a tiny bit less efficient
since one check is performed for the stack limit and a second is
performed for the epoch as opposed to the `Config::interruptable`
style of bundling the stack limit and the interrupt check in one. It's
expected though that this is likely to not really be measurable.
* The old `VMInterrupts` structure is renamed to `VMRuntimeLimits`.
