The Wasm SIMD specification has added new instructions that allow inserting to the lane of a vector from a memory location, and conversely, extracting from a lane of a vector to a memory location. The simplest implementation lowers these instructions, `load[8|16|32|64]_lane` and `store[8|16|32|64]_lane`, to a sequence of either `load + insertlane` or `extractlane + store` (in CLIF). With the new backend's pattern matching, we expect these CLIF sequences to compile as a single machine instruction (at least in x64).
This commit adds a "pooling" variant to the wast tests that uses the pooling
instance allocation strategy.
This should help with the test coverage of the pooling instance allocator.
This change makes the storage of `Table` more internally consistent.
Elements are stored as raw pointers for both static and dynamic table storage.
Explicitly storing elements as pointers removes assumptions being made by the
pooling allocator in terms of the size and default representation of the
elements.
However, care must be made to properly clone externrefs for table operations.
* Add more overflow checks in table/memory initialization.
* Comment for `with_allocation_strategy` to explain ignored `Config` options.
* Fix Wasmtime `Table` to not panic for type mismatches in `fill`/`copy`.
* Add tests for that fix.
* More use of `anyhow`.
* Change `make_accessible` into `protect_linear_memory` to better demonstrate
what it is used for; this will make the uffd implementation make a little
more sense.
* Remove `create_memory_map` in favor of just creating the `Mmap` instances in
the pooling allocator. This also removes the need for `MAP_NORESERVE` in the
uffd implementation.
* Moar comments.
* Remove `BasePointerIterator` in favor of `impl Iterator`.
* The uffd implementation now only monitors linear memory pages and will only
receive faults on pages that could potentially be accessible and never on a
statically known guard page.
* Stop allocating memory or table pools if the maximum limit of the memory or
table is 0.
* Add `anyhow` dependency to `wasmtime-runtime`.
* Revert `get_data` back to `fn`.
* Remove `DataInitializer` and box the data in `Module` translation instead.
* Improve comments on `MemoryInitialization`.
* Remove `MemoryInitialization::OutOfBounds` in favor of proper bulk memory
semantics.
* Use segmented memory initialization except for when the uffd feature is
enabled on Linux.
* Validate modules with the allocator after translation.
* Updated various functions in the runtime to return `anyhow::Result`.
* Use a slice when copying pages instead of `ptr::copy_nonoverlapping`.
* Remove unnecessary casts in `OnDemandAllocator::deallocate`.
* Better document the `uffd` feature.
* Use WebAssembly page-sized pages in the paged initialization.
* Remove the stack pool from the uffd handler and simply protect just the guard
pages.
Last minute code clean up to fix some comments and rename `address_space_size`
to `memory_reservation_size` to better describe what the option is doing.
The issue that required the pin to the older version has been resolved.
This keeps the x64 backend tests on an older nightly version to support the
`-Z` flags being passed without having to update Cargo.toml to a new feature
resolver version.
The doc task is also kept on the older nightly for the same reason.
Wasmtime documentation says stable is the supported rustc version, and that's
what we test with CI, so the badge should reflect that.
Wasmtime doesn't even build with 1.37 any longer anyway.
This was originally written to support sourcing the table and memory
definitions differently for the pooling allocator.
However, both allocators do the exact same thing, so the closure arguments are
no longer necessary.
Additionally, this cleans up the code a bit to pass in the allocation request
rather than having individual parameters.
This commit implements copying paged initialization data upon a fault of a
linear memory page.
If the initialization data is "paged", then the appropriate pages are copied
into the Wasm page (or zeroed if the page is not present in the
initialization data).
If the initialization data is not "paged", the Wasm page is zeroed so that
module instantiation can initialize the pages.
As Windows uses the native fiber implementation, the stack tests should be
ignored on Windows as the implementation intentionally errors when handing out
stacks.
This commit implements the `uffd` feature which turns on support for utilizing
the `userfaultfd` system call on Linux for the pooling instance allocator.
By handling page faults in userland, we are able to detect guard page accesses
without having to constantly change memory page protections.
This should help reduce the number of syscalls as well as kernel lock
contentions when many threads are allocating and deallocating instances.
Additionally, the user fault handler can lazy initialize linear
memories of an instance (implementation to come).
This commit implements the pooling instance allocator.
The allocation strategy can be set with `Config::with_allocation_strategy`.
The pooling strategy uses the pooling instance allocator to preallocate a
contiguous region of memory for instantiating modules that adhere to various
limits.
The intention of the pooling instance allocator is to reserve as much of the
host address space needed for instantiating modules ahead of time and to reuse
committed memory pages wherever possible.
This commit implements allocating fiber stacks in an instance allocator.
The on-demand instance allocator doesn't support custom stacks, so the
implementation will use the allocation from `wasmtime-fiber` for the fiber
stacks.
In the future, the pooling instance allocator will return custom stacks to use
on Linux and macOS.
On Windows, the native fiber implementation will always be used.
With the change to artificially limit unbounded memories based on Tunables,
it's possible to hit the assert where the minimum might exceed the static
memory bound.
This commit removes the assert in favor of a check to see if the minimum also
fits within the static memory bound. It also corrects the maximum bounding to
ensure the minimum between the memory's maximum and the configured maximum is
used.
If it does not fit, the memory will be treated as dynamic. In the case of the
pooling instance allocator, the bounds will be checked again during translation
and an appropriate error will be returned as dynamic memories are not supported
for that allocator.
Handles created with `create_handle` need to be deallocated with the default
(on-demand) instance allocator.
This commit changes Store such that handles can be added with a flag that is
used to force deallocation via the default instance allocator when the Store is
dropped.
This commit changes `Instance` such that memories can be stored statically,
with just a base pointer, size, maximum, and a callback to make memory
accessible.
Previously the memories were being stored as boxed trait objects, which would
require the pooling allocator to do some unpleasant things to avoid
allocations.
With this change, the pooling allocator can simply define a memory for the
instance without using a trait object.
This commit changes how memories and tables are stored in `Instance`.
Previously, the memories and tables were stored as a `BoxedSlice`. Storing it
this way requires an allocation to change the length of the memories and
tables, which is desirable for a pooling instance allocator that is reusing an
`Instance` structure for a new instantiation.
By storing it instead as `PrimaryMap`, the memories and tables can be resized
without any allocations (the capacity of these maps will always be the
configured limits of the pooling allocator).
This commit refactors `Table` in the runtime such that it can be created from a
pointer to existing table data.
The current `Vec` backing of the `Table` is considered to be "dynamic" storage.
This will be used for the upcoming pooling allocator where table memory is
managed externally to the instance.
The `table.copy` implementation was improved to use slice primitives for doing
the copying.
Fixes#983.
This commit introduces two new methods on `InstanceAllocator`:
* `validate_module` - this method is used to validate a module after
translation but before compilation. It will be used for the upcoming pooling
allocator to ensure a module being compiled adheres to the limits of the
allocator.
* `adjust_tunables` - this method is used to adjust the `Tunables` given the
JIT compiler. The pooling allocator will use this to force all memories to
be static during compilation.
This commit refactors module instantiation in the runtime to allow for
different instance allocation strategy implementations.
It adds an `InstanceAllocator` trait with the current implementation put behind
the `OnDemandInstanceAllocator` struct.
The Wasmtime API has been updated to allow a `Config` to have an instance
allocation strategy set which will determine how instances get allocated.
This change is in preparation for an alternative *pooling* instance allocator
that can reserve all needed host process address space in advance.
This commit also makes changes to the `wasmtime_environ` crate to represent
compiled modules in a way that reduces copying at instantiation time.
