This commit slims down the list of builtin intrinsics. It removes the
duplicated intrinsics for imported and locally defined items, instead
always using one intrinsic for both. This was previously inconsistently
applied where some intrinsics got two copies (one for imported one for
local) and other intrinsics got only one copy. This does add an extra
branch in intrinsics since they need to determine whether something is
local or not, but that's generally much lower cost than the intrinsics
themselves.
This also removes the `memory32_size` intrinsic, instead inlining the
codegen directly into the clif IR. This matches what the `table.size`
instruction does and removes the need for a few functions on a
`wasmtime_runtime::Instance`.
This commit removes some one-use methods to inline them at their use
site, and otherwise adds bounds checks to other functions like
`imported_function` where previously the `FuncIndex` may have been
accidentally out of bounds, which would cause memory unsafety. There's
no actual bug this was fixing, just trying to improve the safety of the
code internally a little.
The current_length member is defined as "usize" in Rust code,
but generated wasm code refers to it as if it were "u32".
While this happens to mostly work on little-endian machines
(as long as the length is < 4GB), it will always fail on
big-endian machines.
Fixed by making current_length "u32" in Rust as well, and
ensuring the actual memory size is always less than 4GB.
This commit adds a `#[link]` annotation to the block defining symbols
coming from a native static library that we build and link. This is
required by rustc to get symbols to get exported correctly when linking
wasmtime into a Rust dynamic library instead of always as an rlib.
While I was at it I went ahead and renamed the symbols now that they're
no longer in C++ and they're doing setjmp/longjmp and not much else.
Closes#3006
* Add guard pages to the front of linear memories
This commit implements a safety feature for Wasmtime to place guard
pages before the allocation of all linear memories. Guard pages placed
after linear memories are typically present for performance (at least)
because it can help elide bounds checks. Guard pages before a linear
memory, however, are never strictly needed for performance or features.
The intention of a preceding guard page is to help insulate against bugs
in Cranelift or other code generators, such as CVE-2021-32629.
This commit adds a `Config::guard_before_linear_memory` configuration
option, defaulting to `true`, which indicates whether guard pages should
be present both before linear memories as well as afterwards. Guard
regions continue to be controlled by
`{static,dynamic}_memory_guard_size` methods.
The implementation here affects both on-demand allocated memories as
well as the pooling allocator for memories. For on-demand memories this
adjusts the size of the allocation as well as adjusts the calculations
for the base pointer of the wasm memory. For the pooling allocator this
will place a singular extra guard region at the very start of the
allocation for memories. Since linear memories in the pooling allocator
are contiguous every memory already had a preceding guard region in
memory, it was just the previous memory's guard region afterwards. Only
the first memory needed this extra guard.
I've attempted to write some tests to help test all this, but this is
all somewhat tricky to test because the settings are pretty far away
from the actual behavior. I think, though, that the tests added here
should help cover various use cases and help us have confidence in
tweaking the various `Config` settings beyond their defaults.
Note that this also contains a semantic change where
`InstanceLimits::memory_reservation_size` has been removed. Instead this
field is now inferred from the `static_memory_maximum_size` and guard
size settings. This should hopefully remove some duplication in these
settings, canonicalizing on the guard-size/static-size settings as the
way to control memory sizes and virtual reservations.

* Tweak 32-bit defaults
Makes the pooling allocator a bit more reasonable by default on 32-bit

* Reimplement how instance exports are stored/loaded
This commit internally refactors how instance exports are handled and
fixes two issues. One issue is that when we instantiate an instance we
no longer forcibly load all items from the instance immediately,
deferring insertion of each item into the store data tables to happen
later as necessary. The next issue is that repeated calls to
`Caller::get_export` would continuously insert items into the store data
tables. While working as intended this was undesirable because it would
continuously push onto a vector that only got deallocated once the
entire store was deallocate. Now it's routed to `Instance::get_export`
which doesn't have this behavior.

Implement Wasmtime's new API as designed by RFC 11. This is quite a large commit which has had lots of discussion externally, so for more information it's best to read the RFC thread and the PR thread.
This adds benchmarks around module instantiation using criterion.
Both the default (i.e. on-demand) and pooling allocators are tested
sequentially and in parallel using a thread pool.
Instantiation is tested with an empty module, a module with a single page
linear memory, a larger linear memory with a data initializer, and a "hello
world" Rust WASI program.
On s390x, SIGILL and SIGFPE are delivered with the PSW address
pointing *after* the faulting instruction, while SIGSEGV and
SIGBUS are delivered with the PSW address pointing *to* the
faulting instruction. In order to support this, the common
code trap handler has to distinguish between those cases.
Also, enable SIGFPE on s390x (just like on x86).
* Bring back per-thread lazy initialization
Platforms Wasmtime supports may have per-thread initialization that
needs to run before WebAssembly. For example Unix needs to setup a
sigaltstack and macOS needs to set up mach ports. In #2757 this
per-thread setup was moved out of the invocation of a wasm function,
relying on the lack of Send for Store to initialize the thread at Store
creation time and never worry about it later.
This conflicted with [wasmtime's desired multithreading
story](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/2812) so a new
[`Store::notify_switched_thread` was
added](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/2822) to
explicitly indicate a Store has moved to another thread (if it unsafely
did so).
It turns out though that it's not always easy to determine when a
`Store` moves to a new thread. For example the Go bindings for Wasmtime
are generally unaware when a goroutine switches OS threads. This led to
https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-go/issues/74 where a SIGILL
was left uncaught, making it appear that traps aren't working properly.
This commit revisits the decision in #2757 and moves per-thread
initialization back into the path of calling into WebAssembly. This is
differently from before, though, where there's still only one TLS access
on the path of calling into WebAssembly, unlike before where it was a
separate access. This allows us to get the speed benefits of #2757 as
well as the flexibility benefits of not having to explicitly move a
store between threads.
With this new ability this commit deletes the recently added
`Store::notify_switched_thread` method since it's no longer necessary.
* Fix a test compiling
* Optimize `table.init` instruction and instantiation
This commit optimizes table initialization as part of instance
instantiation and also applies the same optimization to the `table.init`
instruction. One part of this commit is to remove some preexisting
duplication between instance instantiation and the `table.init`
instruction itself, after this the actual implementation of `table.init`
is optimized to effectively have fewer bounds checks in fewer places and
have a much tighter loop for instantiation.
A big fallout from this change is that memory/table initializer offsets
are now stored as `u32` instead of `usize` to remove a few casts in a
few places. This ended up requiring moving some overflow checks that
happened in parsing to later in code itself because otherwise the wrong
spec test errors are emitted during testing. I've tried to trace where
these can possibly overflow but I think that I managed to get
everything.
In a local synthetic test where an empty module with a single 80,000
element initializer this improves total instantiation time by 4x (562us
=> 141us)
* Review comments
* Add resource limiting to the Wasmtime API.
This commit adds a `ResourceLimiter` trait to the Wasmtime API.
When used in conjunction with `Store::new_with_limiter`, this can be used to
monitor and prevent WebAssembly code from growing linear memories and tables.
This is particularly useful when hosts need to take into account host resource
usage to determine if WebAssembly code can consume more resources.
A simple `StaticResourceLimiter` is also included with these changes that will
simply limit the size of linear memories or tables for all instances created in
the store based on static values.
* Code review feedback.
* Implemented `StoreLimits` and `StoreLimitsBuilder`.
* Moved `max_instances`, `max_memories`, `max_tables` out of `Config` and into
`StoreLimits`.
* Moved storage of the limiter in the runtime into `Memory` and `Table`.
* Made `InstanceAllocationRequest` use a reference to the limiter.
* Updated docs.
* Made `ResourceLimiterProxy` generic to remove a level of indirection.
* Fixed the limiter not being used for `wasmtime::Memory` and
`wasmtime::Table`.
* Code review feedback and bug fix.
* `Memory::new` now returns `Result<Self>` so that an error can be returned if
the initial requested memory exceeds any limits placed on the store.
* Changed an `Arc` to `Rc` as the `Arc` wasn't necessary.
* Removed `Store` from the `ResourceLimiter` callbacks. Custom resource limiter
implementations are free to capture any context they want, so no need to
unnecessarily store a weak reference to `Store` from the proxy type.
* Fixed a bug in the pooling instance allocator where an instance would be
leaked from the pool. Previously, this would only have happened if the OS was
unable to make the necessary linear memory available for the instance. With
these changes, however, the instance might not be created due to limits
placed on the store. We now properly deallocate the instance on error.
* Added more tests, including one that covers the fix mentioned above.
* Code review feedback.
* Add another memory to `test_pooling_allocator_initial_limits_exceeded` to
ensure a partially created instance is successfully deallocated.
* Update some doc comments for better documentation of `Store` and
`ResourceLimiter`.
This commit uses a two-phase lookup of stack map information from modules
rather than giving back raw pointers to stack maps.
First the runtime looks up information about a module from a pc value, which
returns an `Arc` it keeps a reference on while completing the stack map lookup.
Second it then queries the module information for the stack map from a pc
value, getting a reference to the stack map (which is now safe because of the
`Arc` held by the runtime).
* Make `FunctionInfo` public and `CompiledModule::func_info` return it.
* Make the `StackMapLookup` trait unsafe.
* Add comments for the purpose of `EngineHostFuncs`.
* Rework ownership model of shared signatures: `SignatureCollection` in
conjunction with `SignatureRegistry` is now used so that the `Engine`,
`Store`, and `Module` don't need to worry about unregistering shared
signatures.
* Implement `Func::param_arity` and `Func::result_arity` in terms of
`Func::ty`.
* Make looking up a trampoline with the module registry more efficient by doing
a binary search on the function's starting PC value for the owning module and
then looking up the trampoline with only that module.
* Remove reference to the shared signatures from `GlobalRegisteredModule`.
This commit removes the stack map registry and instead uses the existing
information from the store's module registry to lookup stack maps.
A trait is now used to pass the lookup context to the runtime, implemented by
`Store` to do the lookup.
With this change, module registration in `Store` is now entirely limited to
inserting the module into the module registry.
This commit moves the shared signature registry out of `Store` and into
`Engine`.
This helps eliminate work that was performed whenever a `Module` was
instantiated into a `Store`.
Now a `Module` is registered with the shared signature registry upon creation,
storing the mapping from the module's signature index space to the shared index
space.
This also refactors the "frame info" registry into a general purpose "module
registry" that is used to look up trap information, signature information, and
(soon) stack map information.
This commit is intended to be a perf improvement for instantiation of
modules with lots of functions. Previously the `lookup_shared_signature`
callback was showing up quite high in profiles as part of instantiation.
As some background, this callback is used to translate from a module's
`SignatureIndex` to a `VMSharedSignatureIndex` which the instance
stores. This callback is called for two reasons, one is to translate all
of the module's own types into `VMSharedSignatureIndex` for the purposes
of `call_indirect` (the translation of that loads from this table to
compare indices). The second reason is that a `VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc`
is prepared for all functions and this embeds a `VMSharedSignatureIndex`
inside of it.
The slow part today is that the lookup callback was called
once-per-function and each lookup involved hashing a full
`WasmFuncType`. Albeit our hash algorithm is still Rust's default
SipHash algorithm which is quite slow, but we also shouldn't need to
re-hash each signature if we see it multiple times anyway.
The fix applied in this commit is to change this lookup callback to an
`enum` where one variant is that there's a table to lookup from. This
table is a `PrimaryMap` which means that lookup is quite fast. The only
thing we need to do is to prepare the table ahead of time. Currently
this happens on the instantiation path because in my measurments the
creation of the table is quite fast compared to the rest of
instantiation. If this becomes an issue, though, we can look into
creating the table as part of `SigRegistry::register_module` and caching
it somewhere (I'm not entirely sure where but I'm sure we can figure it
out).
There's in generally not a ton of efficiency around the `SigRegistry`
type. I'm hoping though that this fixes the next-lowest-hanging-fruit in
terms of performance without complicating the implementation too much. I
tried a few variants and this change seemed like the best balance
between simplicity and still a nice performance gain.
Locally I measured an improvement in instantiation time for a large-ish
module by reducing the time from ~3ms to ~2.6ms per instance.
This commit updates the implementation of `VMOffsets` to frontload all
checked arithmetic on construction of the `VMOffsets` which allows
eliding all checked arithmetic when accessing the fields of `VMOffsets`.
For testing and such this adds a new constructor as well from a new
`VMOffsetsFields` structure which is a clone of the old definition.
This should help speed up some profile hot spots I've been seeing where
with all the checked arithmetic on field sizes this was slowing down the
various accessors during instantiation (which uses `VMOffsets` to
initialize various fields of the `VMContext`).
Looking at some profiles these or their related functions were all
showing up, so this commit adds `#[inline]` to allow cross-crate
inlining by default.
- some tests don't pass because of bad interactions with the system's
libunwind; ignore them for now.
- the page size on mac aarch64 is 16K, not 4K; tweak some tests which
were expecting 4K or multiples of 4K pages to use a multiple of host page size
instead.
- a cranelift-native test needed an update for the new calling convention.
This commit fixes a bug where the wrong destination range was used when copying
data from the module's memory initialization upon instance initialization.
This affects the on-demand allocator only when using the `uffd` feature on
Linux and when the Wasm page being initialized is not the last in the module's
initial pages.
Fixes#2784.
* Use stable Rust on CI to test the x64 backend
This commit leverages the newly-released 1.51.0 compiler to test the
new backend on Windows and Linux with a stable compiler instead of a
nightly compiler. This isolates the nightly build to just the nightly
documentation generation and fuzzing, both of which rely on nightly for
the best results right now.
* Use updated stable in book build job
* Run rustfmt for new stable
* Silence new warnings for wasi-nn
* Allow some dead code in the x64 backend
Looks like new rustc is better about emitting some dead-code warnings
* Update rust in peepmatic job
* Fix a test in the pooling allocator
* Remove `package.metdata.docs.rs` temporarily
Needs resolution of https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9300 first
* Fix a warning in a wasi-nn example
* Combine stack-based cleanups for faster wasm calls
This commit is an extension of #2757 where the goal is to optimize entry
into WebAssembly. Currently wasmtime has two stack-based cleanups when
entering wasm, one for the externref activation table and another for
stack limits getting reset. This commit fuses these two cleanups
together into one and moves some code around which enables less captures
for fewer closures and such to speed up calls in to wasm a bit more.
Overall this drops the execution time from 88ns to 80ns locally for me.
This also updates the atomic orderings when updating the stack limit
from `SeqCst` to `Relaxed`. While `SeqCst` is a reasonable starting
point the usage here should be safe to use `Relaxed` since we're not
using the atomics to actually protect any memory, it's simply receiving
signals from other threads.
* Determine whether a pc is wasm via a global map
The macOS implementation of traps recently changed to using mach ports
for handlers instead of signal handlers. This means that a previously
relied upon invariant, each thread fixes its own trap, was broken. The
macOS implementation worked around this by maintaining a global map from
thread id to thread local information, however, to solve the problem.
This global map is quite slow though. It involves taking a lock and
updating a hash map on all calls into WebAssembly. In my local testing
this accounts for >70% of the overhead of calling into WebAssembly on
macOS. Naturally it'd be great to remove this!
This commit fixes this issue and removes the global lock/map that is
updated on all calls into WebAssembly. The fix is to maintain a global
map of wasm modules and their trap addresses in the `wasmtime` crate.
Doing so is relatively simple since we're already tracking this
information at the `Store` level.
Once we've got a global map then the macOS implementation can use this
from a foreign thread and everything works out.
Locally this brings the overhead, on macOS specifically, of calling into
wasm from 80ns to ~20ns.
* Fix compiles
* Review comments
This commit implements a few optimizations, mainly inlining, that should
improve the performance of calling a WebAssembly function. This code
path can be quite hot depending on the embedding case and we hadn't
really put much effort into optimizing the nitty gritty.
The predominant optimization here is adding `#[inline]` to trivial
functions so performance is improved without having to compile with LTO.
Another optimization is to call `lazy_per_thread_init` when traps are
initialized per-thread (when a `Store` is created) rather than each time
a function is called. The next optimization is to change the unwind
reason in the `CallThreadState` to `MaybeUninit` to avoid extra checks
in the default case about whether we need to drop its variants (since in
the happy path we never need to drop it). The final optimization is to
optimize out a few checks when `async` support is disabled for a small
speed boost.
In a small benchmark where wasmtime calls a simple wasm function my
macOS computer dropped from 110ns to 86ns overhead, a 20% decrease. The
macOS overhead is still largely dominated by the global lock acquisition
and hash table management for traps right now, but I suspect the Linux
overhead is much better (should be on the order of ~30 or so ns).
We still have a long way to go to compete with SpiderMonkey which, in
testing, seem to have ~6ns overhead in calling the same wasm function on
my computer.
* Add assert to `StackPool::deallocate` to ensure the fiber stack given to it
comes from the pool.
* Remove outdated comment about windows and stacks as the allocator now returns
fiber stacks.
* Remove conditional compilation around `stack_size` in the allocators as it
was just clutter.
This commit splits out a `FiberStack` from `Fiber`, allowing the instance
allocator trait to return `FiberStack` rather than raw stack pointers. This
keeps the stack creation mostly in `wasmtime_fiber`, but now the on-demand
instance allocator can make use of it.
The instance allocators no longer have to return a "not supported" error to
indicate that the store should allocate its own fiber stack.
This includes a bunch of cleanup in the instance allocator to scope stacks to
the new "async" feature in the runtime.
Closes#2708.
* Switch macOS to using mach ports for trap handling
This commit moves macOS to using mach ports instead of signals for
handling traps. The motivation for this is listed in #2456, namely that
once mach ports are used in a process that means traditional UNIX signal
handlers won't get used. This means that if Wasmtime is integrated with
Breakpad, for example, then Wasmtime's trap handler never fires and
traps don't work.
The `traphandlers` module is refactored as part of this commit to split
the platform-specific bits into their own files (it was growing quite a
lot for one inline `cfg_if!`). The `unix.rs` and `windows.rs` files
remain the same as they were before with a few minor tweaks for some
refactored interfaces. The `macos.rs` file is brand new and lifts almost
its entire implementation from SpiderMonkey, adapted for Wasmtime
though.
The main gotcha with mach ports is that a separate thread is what
services the exception. Some unsafe magic allows this separate thread to
read non-`Send` and temporary state from other threads, but is hoped to
be safe in this context. The unfortunate downside is that calling wasm
on macOS now involves taking a global lock and modifying a global hash
map twice-per-call. I'm not entirely sure how to get out of this cost
for now, but hopefully for any embeddings on macOS it's not the end of
the world.
Closes#2456
* Add a sketch of arm64 apple support
* store: maintain CallThreadState mapping when switching fibers
* cranelift/aarch64: generate unwind directives to disable pointer auth
Aarch64 post ARMv8.3 has a feature called pointer authentication,
designed to fight ROP/JOP attacks: some pointers may be signed using new
instructions, adding payloads to the high (previously unused) bits of
the pointers. More on this here: https://lwn.net/Articles/718888/
Unwinders on aarch64 need to know if some pointers contained on the call
frame contain an authentication code or not, to be able to properly
authenticate them or use them directly. Since native code may have
enabled it by default (as is the case on the Mac M1), and the default is
that this configuration value is inherited, we need to explicitly
disable it, for the only kind of supported pointers (return addresses).
To do so, we set the value of a non-existing dwarf pseudo register (34)
to 0, as documented in
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/master/aadwarf64/aadwarf64.rst#note-8.
This is done at the function granularity, in the spirit of Cranelift
compilation model. Alternatively, a single directive could be generated
in the CIE, generating less information per module.

This commit fixes a few issues around managing the thread-local state of
a wasmtime thread. We intentionally only have a singular TLS variable in
the whole world, and the problem is that when stack-switching off an
async thread we were not restoring the previous TLS state. This is
necessary in two cases:
* Futures aren't guaranteed to be polled/completed in a stack-like
fashion. If a poll sees that a future isn't ready then we may resume
execution in a previous wasm context that ends up needing the TLS
information.
* Futures can also cross threads (when the whole store crosses threads)
and we need to save/restore TLS state from the thread we're coming
from and the thread that we're going to.
The stack switching issue necessitates some more glue around suspension
and resumption of a stack to ensure we save/restore the TLS state on
both sides. The thread issue, however, also necessitates that we use
`#[inline(never)]` on TLS access functions and never have TLS borrows
live across a function which could result in running arbitrary code (as
was the case for the `tls::set` function.
* Implement defining host functions at the Config level.
This commit introduces defining host functions at the `Config` rather than with
`Func` tied to a `Store`.
The intention here is to enable a host to define all of the functions once
with a `Config` and then use a `Linker` (or directly with
`Store::get_host_func`) to use the functions when instantiating a module.
This should help improve the performance of use cases where a `Store` is
short-lived and redefining the functions at every module instantiation is a
noticeable performance hit.
This commit adds `add_to_config` to the code generation for Wasmtime's `Wasi`
type.
The new method adds the WASI functions to the given config as host functions.
This commit adds context functions to `Store`: `get` to get a context of a
particular type and `set` to set the context on the store.
For safety, `set` cannot replace an existing context value of the same type.
`Wasi::set_context` was added to set the WASI context for a `Store` when using
`Wasi::add_to_config`.
* Add `Config::define_host_func_async`.
* Make config "async" rather than store.
This commit moves the concept of "async-ness" to `Config` rather than `Store`.
Note: this is a breaking API change for anyone that's already adopted the new
async support in Wasmtime.
Now `Config::new_async` is used to create an "async" config and any `Store`
associated with that config is inherently "async".
This is needed for async shared host functions to have some sanity check during their
execution (async host functions, like "async" `Func`, need to be called with
the "async" variants).
* Update async function tests to smoke async shared host functions.
This commit updates the async function tests to also smoke the shared host
functions, plus `Func::wrap0_async`.
This also changes the "wrap async" method names on `Config` to
`wrap$N_host_func_async` to slightly better match what is on `Func`.
* Move the instance allocator into `Engine`.
This commit moves the instantiated instance allocator from `Config` into
`Engine`.
This makes certain settings in `Config` no longer order-dependent, which is how
`Config` should ideally be.
This also removes the confusing concept of the "default" instance allocator,
instead opting to construct the on-demand instance allocator when needed.
This does alter the semantics of the instance allocator as now each `Engine`
gets its own instance allocator rather than sharing a single one between all
engines created from a configuration.
* Make `Engine::new` return `Result`.
This is a breaking API change for anyone using `Engine::new`.
As creating the pooling instance allocator may fail (likely cause is not enough
memory for the provided limits), instead of panicking when creating an
`Engine`, `Engine::new` now returns a `Result`.
* Remove `Config::new_async`.
This commit removes `Config::new_async` in favor of treating "async support" as
any other setting on `Config`.
The setting is `Config::async_support`.
* Remove order dependency when defining async host functions in `Config`.
This commit removes the order dependency where async support must be enabled on
the `Config` prior to defining async host functions.
The check is now delayed to when an `Engine` is created from the config.
* Update WASI example to use shared `Wasi::add_to_config`.
This commit updates the WASI example to use `Wasi::add_to_config`.
As only a single store and instance are used in the example, it has no semantic
difference from the previous example, but the intention is to steer users
towards defining WASI on the config and only using `Wasi::add_to_linker` when
more explicit scoping of the WASI context is required.
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.
