This approach suffers from memory-size bloat during compile time due to the desire to de-duplicate the constants emitted and reduce runtime memory-size. As a first step, though, this provides an end-to-end mechanism for constants to be emitted in the MachBuffer islands.
There has been some confusion over the meaning of the "sign-extend"
(`sext`) and "zero-extend" (`uext`) attributes on parameters and return
values in signatures. According to the three implemented backends, these
attributes indicate that a value narrower than a full register should
always be extended in the way specified. However, they are much more
useful if they mean "extend in this way if the ABI requires extending":
only the ABI backend knows whether or not a particular ABI (e.g., x64
SysV vs. x64 Baldrdash) requires extensions, while only the frontend
(CLIF generator) knows whether or not a value is signed, so the two have
to work in concert.
This is the result of some very helpful discussion in #2354 (thanks to
@uweigand for raising the issue and @bjorn3 for helping to reason about
it).
This change respects the extension attributes in the above way, rather
than unconditionally extending, to avoid potential performance
degradation as we introduce more extension attributes on signatures.
When performing a function call, the platform ABI may require space
on the stack to hold outgoing arguments and/or return values.
Currently, this is supported via decrementing the stack pointer
before the call and incrementing it afterwards, using the
emit_stack_pre_adjust and emit_stack_post_adjust methods of
ABICaller. However, on some platforms it would be preferable
to just allocate enough space for any call done in the function
in the caller's prologue instead.
This patch adds support to allow back-ends to choose that method.
Instead of calling emit_stack_pre/post_adjust around a call, they
simply call a new accumulate_outgoing_args_size method of
ABICaller instead. This will pass on the required size to the
ABICallee structure of the calling function, which will accumulate
the maximum size required for all function calls.
That accumulated size is then passed to the gen_clobber_save
and gen_clobber_restore functions so they can include the size
in the stack allocation / deallocation that already happens in
the prologue / epilogue code.
The ABI common code currently passes the fixed frame size to
the gen_clobber_save back-end routine, which is required to
emit code to allocate the required stack space in the prologue.
Similarly, the back-end needs to emit code to de-allocate the
stack in the epilogue. However, at this point the back-end
does not have access to that fixed frame size value any more.
With targets that use a frame pointer, this does not matter,
since de-allocation can be done simply by assigning the frame
pointer back to the stack pointer. However, on targets that
do not use a frame pointer, the frame size is required.
To allow back-ends that option, this patch changes ABI common
code to pass the fixed frame size to get_clobber_restore as
well (the same value as is passed to get_clobber_save).
The common gen_prologue code currently assumes that the stack
pointer has to be aligned to twice the word size. While this
is true for many ABIs, it does not hold universally.
This patch adds a new callback stack_align that back-ends can
provide to define the specific stack alignment required by the
ABI on that platform.
The changes in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/2278 added `SourceLoc`s to several x64 `Inst` variants; between when that PR was last run in CI and when it was merged, new instructions were added that require this new parameter. This change adds the parameter in order to fix CI.
In order to register traps for `load_splat`, several instruction formats need knowledge of `SourceLoc`s; however, since the x64 backend does not correctly and completely register traps for `RegMem::Mem` variants I opened https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/2290 to discuss and resolve this issue. In the meantime, the current behavior (i.e. remaining largely unaware of `SourceLoc`s) is retained.
A new associated type Info is added to MachInstEmit, which is the
immutable counterpart to State. It can't easily be constructed from an
ABICallee, since it would require adding an associated type to the
latter, and making so leaks the associated type in a lot of places in
the code base and makes the code harder to read. Instead, the EmitInfo
state can simply be passed to the `Vcode::emit` function directly.
This change abstracts away (from the perspective of the new backend) how immediate values are stored in InstructionData. It gathers large immediates from necessary places (e.g. constant pool) and delegates to `InstructionData::imm_value` for the rest. This refactor only touches original users of `LowerCtx::get_immediate` but a future change could do the same for any place the new backend is accessing InstructionData directly to retrieve immediates.
As found by @julian-seward1, movss/movsd aren't included in the
zero-latency move instructions section of the Intel optimization manual.
Use MOVAPS instead for those moves.
This PR updates the AArch64 ABI implementation so that it (i) properly
respects that v8-v15 inclusive have callee-save lower halves, and
caller-save upper halves, by conservatively approximating (to full
registers) in the appropriate directions when generating prologue
caller-saves and when informing the regalloc of clobbered regs across
callsites.
In order to prevent saving all of these vector registers in the prologue
of every non-leaf function due to the above approximation, this also
makes use of a new regalloc.rs feature to exclude call instructions'
writes from the clobber set returned by register allocation. This is
safe whenever the caller and callee have the same ABI (because anything
the callee could clobber, the caller is allowed to clobber as well
without saving it in the prologue).
Fixes#2254.
This approach is not the best but avoids an extra instruction; perhaps at some point, as mentioned in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/2248, we will add the extra instruction or refactor things in such a way that this `Inst` variant is unnecessary.
This also passes `fixed_frame_storage_size` (previously `total_sp_adjust`)
into `gen_clobber_save` so that it can be combined with other stack
adjustments.

As part of a Wasm JIT update, SpiderMonkey is changing its internal
WebAssembly function ABI. The new ABI's frame format includes "caller
TLS" and "callee TLS" slots. The details of where these come from are
not important; from Cranelift's point of view, the only relevant
requirement is that we have two on-stack args that are always present
(offsetting other on-stack args), and that we define special argument
purposes so that we can supply values for these slots.
Note that this adds a *new* ABI (a variant of the Baldrdash ABI) because
we do not want to tightly couple the landing of this PR to the landing
of the changes in SpiderMonkey; it's better if both the old and new
behavior remain available in Cranelift, so SpiderMonkey can continue to
vendor Cranelift even if it does not land (or backs out) the ABI change.
Furthermore, note that this needs to be a Cranelift-level change (i.e.
cannot be done purely from the translator environment implementation)
because the special TLS arguments must always go on the stack, which
would not otherwise happen with the usual argument-placement logic; and
there is no primitive to push a value directly in CLIF code (the notion
of a stack frame is a lower-level concept).
