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.
* Implement variant translation in fused adapters
This commit implements the most general case of variants for fused
adapter trampolines. Additionally a number of other primitive types are
filled out here to assist with testing variants. The implementation
internally was relatively straightforward given the shape of variants,
but there's room for future optimization as necessary especially around
converting locals to various types.
This commit also introduces a "one off" fuzzer for adapters to ensure
that the generated adapter is valid. I hope to extend this fuzz
generator as more types are implemented to assist in various corner
cases that might arise. For now the fuzzer simply tests that the output
wasm module is valid, not that it actually executes correctly. I hope to
integrate with a fuzzer along the lines of #4307 one day to test the
run-time-correctness of the generated adapters as well, at which point
this fuzzer would become obsolete.
Finally this commit also fixes an issue with `u8` translation where
upper bits weren't zero'd out and were passed raw across modules.
Instead smaller-than-32 types now all mask out their upper bits and do
sign-extension as appropriate for unsigned/signed variants.
* Fuzz memory64 in the new trampoline fuzzer
Currently memory64 isn't supported elsewhere in the component model
implementation of Wasmtime but the trampoline compiler seems as good a
place as any to ensure that it at least works in isolation. This plumbs
through fuzz input into a `memory64` boolean which gets fed into
compilation. Some miscellaneous bugs were fixed as a result to ensure
that memory64 trampolines all validate correctly.
* Tweak manifest for doc build
* Remove dependency on `more-asserts`
In my recent adventures to do a bit of gardening on our dependencies I
noticed that there's a new major version for the `more-asserts` crate.
Instead of updating to this though I've opted to instead remove the
dependency since I don't think we heavily lean on this crate and
otherwise one-off prints are probably sufficient to avoid the need for
pulling in a whole crate for this.
* Remove exemption for `more-asserts`
* Add initial support for fused adapter trampolines
This commit lands a significant new piece of functionality to Wasmtime's
implementation of the component model in the form of the implementation
of fused adapter trampolines. Internally within a component core wasm
modules can communicate with each other by having their exports
`canon lift`'d to get `canon lower`'d into a different component. This
signifies that two components are communicating through a statically
known interface via the canonical ABI at this time. Previously Wasmtime
was able to identify that this communication was happening but it simply
panicked with `unimplemented!` upon seeing it. This commit is the
beginning of filling out this panic location with an actual
implementation.
The implementation route chosen here for fused adapters is to use a
WebAssembly module itself for the implementation. This means that, at
compile time of a component, Wasmtime is generating core WebAssembly
modules which then get recursively compiled within Wasmtime as well. The
choice to use WebAssembly itself as the implementation of fused adapters
stems from a few motivations:
* This does not represent a significant increase in the "trusted
compiler base" of Wasmtime. Getting the Wasm -> CLIF translation
correct once is hard enough much less for an entirely different IR to
CLIF. By generating WebAssembly no new interactions with Cranelift are
added which drastically reduces the possibilities for mistakes.
* Using WebAssembly means that component adapters are insulated from
miscompilations and mistakes. If something goes wrong it's defined
well within the WebAssembly specification how it goes wrong and what
happens as a result. This means that the "blast zone" for a wrong
adapter is the component instance but not the entire host itself.
Accesses to linear memory are guaranteed to be in-bounds and otherwise
handled via well-defined traps.
* A fully-finished fused adapter compiler is expected to be a
significant and quite complex component of Wasmtime. Functionality
along these lines is expected to be needed for Web-based polyfills of
the component model and by using core WebAssembly it provides the
opportunity to share code between Wasmtime and these polyfills for the
component model.
* Finally the runtime implementation of managing WebAssembly modules is
already implemented and quite easy to integrate with, so representing
fused adapters with WebAssembly results in very little extra support
necessary for the runtime implementation of instantiating and managing
a component.
The compiler added in this commit is dubbed Wasmtime's Fused Adapter
Compiler of Trampolines (FACT) because who doesn't like deriving a name
from an acronym. Currently the trampoline compiler is limited in its
support for interface types and only supports a few primitives. I plan
on filing future PRs to flesh out the support here for all the variants
of `InterfaceType`. For now this PR is primarily focused on all of the
other infrastructure for the addition of a trampoline compiler.
With the choice to use core WebAssembly to implement fused adapters it
means that adapters need to be inserted into a module. Unfortunately
adapters cannot all go into a single WebAssembly module because adapters
themselves have dependencies which may be provided transitively through
instances that were instantiated with other adapters. This means that a
significant chunk of this PR (`adapt.rs`) is dedicated to determining
precisely which adapters go into precisely which adapter modules. This
partitioning process attempts to make large modules wherever it can to
cut down on core wasm instantiations but is likely not optimal as
it's just a simple heuristic today.
With all of this added together it's now possible to start writing
`*.wast` tests that internally have adapted modules communicating with
one another. A `fused.wast` test suite was added as part of this PR
which is the beginning of tests for the support of the fused adapter
compiler added in this PR. Currently this is primarily testing some
various topologies of adapters along with direct/indirect modes. This
will grow many more tests over time as more types are supported.
Overall I'm not 100% satisfied with the testing story of this PR. When a
test fails it's very difficult to debug since everything is written in
the text format of WebAssembly meaning there's no "conveniences" to
print out the state of the world when things go wrong and easily debug.
I think this will become even more apparent as more tests are written
for more types in subsequent PRs. At this time though I know of no
better alternative other than leaning pretty heavily on fuzz-testing to
ensure this is all exercised.
* Fix an unused field warning
* Fix tests in `wasmtime-runtime`
* Add some more tests for compiled trampolines
* Remap exports when injecting adapters
The exports of a component were accidentally left unmapped which meant
that they indexed the instance indexes pre-adapter module insertion.
* Fix typo
* Rebase conflicts
* support dynamic function calls in component model
This addresses #4310, introducing a new `component::values::Val` type for
representing component values dynamically, as well as `component::types::Type`
for representing the corresponding interface types. It also adds a `call` method
to `component::func::Func`, which takes a slice of `Val`s as parameters and
returns a `Result<Val>` representing the result.
Note that I've moved `post_return` and `call_raw` from `TypedFunc` to `Func`
since there was nothing specific to `TypedFunc` about them, and I wanted to
reuse them. The code in both is unchanged beyond the trivial tweaks to make
them fit in their new home.

* fuzzgen: Add float support
Add support for generating floats and some float instructions.
* fuzzgen: Enable NaN Canonicalization
Both IEEE754 and the Wasm spec are somewhat loose about what is allowed
to be returned from NaN producing operations. And in practice this changes
from X86 to Aarch64 and others. Even in the same host machine, the
interpreter may produce a code sequence different from cranelift that
generates different NaN's but produces legal results according to the spec.
These differences cause spurious failures in the fuzzer. To fix this
we enable the NaN Canonicalization pass that replaces any NaN's produced
with a single fixed canonical NaN value.
* fuzzgen: Use `MultiAry` when inserting opcodes
This deduplicates a few inserters!
This moves them into a new `wasmtime-asm-macros` crate that can be used not just
from the `wasmtime-fibers` crate but also from other crates (e.g. we will need
them in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/4431).
Rather than sometimes using `file-per-thread-logger`.
Also remove the debug CLI flags, so that we can always just define
`RUST_LOG=...` to get logging and don't need to also do other things.
This commit removes Wasmtime's dependency on the `region` crate. The
motivation for this came about when I was updating dependencies and saw
that `region` had a new major version at 3.0.0 as opposed to our
currently used 2.3 track. In reviewing the use cases of `region` within
Wasmtime I found two trends in particular which motivated this commit:
* Some unix-specific areas of `wasmtime_runtime` use
`rustix::mm::mprotect` instead of `region::protect` already. This
means that the usage of `region::protect` for changing virtual memory
protections was already inconsistent.
* Many uses of `region::protect` were already in unix-specific regions
which could make use of `rustix`.
Overall I opted to remove the dependency on the `region` crate to avoid
chasing its versions over time. Unix-specific changes of protections
were easily changed to `rustix::mm::mprotect`. There were two locations
where a windows/unix split is now required and I subjectively ruled
"that seems ok". Finally removing `region` also meant that the "what is
the current page size" query needed to be inlined into
`wasmtime_runtime`, which I have also subjectively ruled "that seems
fine".
Finally one final refactoring here was that the `unix.rs` and `linux.rs`
split for the pooling allocator was merged. These two files already only
differed in one function so I slapped a `cfg_if!` in there to help
reduce the duplication.
* Bump versions of wasm-tools crates
Note that this leaves new features in the component model, outer type
aliases for core wasm types, unimplemented for now.
* Move to crates.io-based versions of tools
* ci: replace OpenVINO installer action
To test wasi-nn, we currently use an OpenVINO backend. The Wasmtime CI
must install OpenVINO using a custom GitHub action. This CI action has
not been updated in some time and in the meantime OpenVINO (and the
OpenVINO crates) have released several new versions.
https://github.com/abrown/install-openvino-action is an external action
that we plan to keep up to date with the latest releases. This change
replaces the current CI action with that one.
* wasi-nn: upgrade openvino dependency to v0.4.1
This eliminates a `lazy_static` dependency and changes a few parameters
to pass by reference. Importantly, it enables support for the latest
versions of OpenVINO (v2022.*) in wasi-nn.
* ci: update wasi-nn script to source correct env script
* ci: really use the correct path for the env script
Also, clarify which directory OpenVINO is installed in (the symlink may
not be present).
* Update tracing-core to a version which doesn't depend on lazy-static.
* Update crossbeam-utils to a version that doesn't depend on lazy-static.
* Update crossbeam-epoch to a version that doesn't depend on lazy-static.
* Update clap to a version that doesn't depend on lazy-static.
* Convert Wasmtime's own use of lazy_static to once_cell.
* Make `GDB_REGISTRATION`'s comment a doc comment.
* Fix compilation on Windows.
* support enums with more than 256 variants in derive macro
This addresses #4361. Technically, we now support up to 2^32 variants, which is
the maximum for the canonical ABI. In practice, though, the derived code for
enums with even just 2^16 variants takes a prohibitively long time to compile.

* Migrate from `winapi` to `windows-sys`
I believe that Microsoft itself is supporting the development of
`windows-sys` and it's also used by `cap-std` now so this switches
Wasmtime's dependencies on Windows APIs from the `winapi` crate to the
`windows-sys` crate. We still have `winapi` in our dependency graph but
that may get phased out over time.
* Make windows-sys a target-specific dependency
- Handle call instructions' clobbers with the clobbers API, using RA2's

list;

edge-case behavior w.r.t. liverange splitting.
* Upgrade to regalloc2 v0.2.3 to get bugfix from bytecodealliance/regalloc2#60.
* Update RELEASES.md.
* Update two compile tests based on slightly shifting regalloc output.
* Use `global_asm!` instead of external assembly files
This commit moves the external assembly files of the `wasmtime-fiber`
crate into `global_asm!` blocks defined in Rust. The motivation for
doing this is not very strong at this time, but the points in favor of
this are:
* One less tool needed to cross-compile Wasmtime. A linker is still
needed but perhaps one day that will improve as well.
* A "modern" assembler, built-in to LLVM, is used instead of whatever
appears on the system.
The first point hasn't really cropped up that much and typically getting
an assembler is just as hard as getting a linker nowadays. The second
point though has us using `hint #xx` in aarch64 assembly instead of the
actual instructions for assembler compatibility, and I believe that's no
longer necessary because the LLVM assembler supports the modern
instruction names.
The translation of the x86/x86_64 assembly has been done to Intel
syntax as well as opposed to the old AT&T syntax since that's Rust's
default. Additionally s390x still remains in an external assembler file
because `global_asm!` is still unstable in Rust on that platform.
* Simplify alignment specification
* Temporarily disable fail-fast
* Add `.cfi_def_cfa_offset 0` to fix CI

- Fixes undefined references to `utimensat` on Darwin.
- Fixes undefined references to `preadv64` and `pwritev64` on Android.

`wasm-smith` v0.11 has support for generating shared memories when the
`threads_enabled` configuration flag is set. This change turns on that
flag occasionally. This also upgrades `wasm-smith` to v0.11.1 to always
generate shared memory with a known maximum.
This commit updates the wasm-tools family of crates, notably pulling in
the refactorings and updates from bytecodealliance/wasm-tools#621 for
the latest iteration of the component model. This commit additionally
updates all support for the component model for these changes, notably:
* Many bits and pieces of type information was refactored. Many
`FooTypeIndex` namings are now `TypeFooIndex`. Additionally there is
now `TypeIndex` as well as `ComponentTypeIndex` for the two type index
spaces in a component.
* A number of new sections are now processed to handle the core and
component variants.
* Internal maps were split such as the `funcs` map into
`component_funcs` and `funcs` (same for `instances`).
* Canonical options are now processed individually instead of one bulk
`into` definition.
Overall this was not a major update to the internals of handling the
component model in Wasmtime. Instead this was mostly a surface-level
refactoring to make sure that everything lines up with the new binary
format for components.
* All text syntax used in tests was updated to the new syntax.
This resolves an edge-case where mul.i128 with an input that continues
to be live after the instruction could cause an invalid regalloc
constraint (basically, the regalloc did not previously support an
instruction use and def both being constrained to the same physical reg;
and the "mul" variant used for mul.i128 on x64 was the only instance of
such operands in Cranelift).
Causes two extra move instructions in the mul.i128 filetest, but that's
the price to pay for the slightly more general (works in all cases)
handling of the constraints.
Previously, `listenfd` depended on an old version of the `uuid` crate
which caused cargo deny failures.
https://github.com/mitsuhiko/listenfd/pull/13 upgrades the `uuid`
dependency and a new version of `listenfd` is published. This change
moves to the latest version of `listenfd`.

RA2 recently removed the need for a dedicated scratch register for
cyclic moves (bytecodealliance/regalloc2#51). This has moderate positive
performance impact on function bodies that were register-constrained, as
it means that one more register is available. In Sightglass, I measured
+5-8% on `blake3-scalar`, at least among current benchmarks.
* Update the wasm-tools family of crates
This commit updates these crates as used by Wasmtime for the recently
published versions to pull in changes necessary to support the component
model. I've split this out from #4005 to make it clear what's impacted
here and #4005 can simply rebase on top of this to pick up the necessary
changes.
* More test fixes
* Upgrade to regalloc2 0.1.3.
This pulls in bytecodealliance/regalloc2#49, which slightly improves
codegen in some cases where a safepoint (for reference-typed values)
occurs in the same liverange as a register-constrained use. For
example, in bytecodealliance/wasmtime#3785, an extra move instruction
appeared and a callee-save register was used (necessitating a more
expensive prologue) because of suboptimal splitting heuristics, which
this PR fixes. The updated RA2 heuristics appear to have no measured
downsides in existing benchmarks and improve the manually-observed
codegen issue.
* Update filetests where regalloc2 improvement altered behavior with reftypes.
This PR fixes#4066: it modifies the Cranelift `build.rs` workflow to
invoke the ISLE DSL compiler on every compilation, rather than only
when the user specifies a special "rebuild ISLE" feature.
The main benefit of this change is that it vastly simplifies the mental
model required of developers, and removes a bunch of failure modes
we have tried to work around in other ways. There is now just one
"source of truth", the ISLE source itself, in the repository, and so there
is no need to understand a special "rebuild" step and how to handle
merge errors. There is no special process needed to develop the compiler
when modifying the DSL. And there is no "noise" in the git history produced
by constantly-regenerated files.
The two main downsides we discussed in #4066 are:
- Compile time could increase, by adding more to the "meta" step before the main build;
- It becomes less obvious where the source definitions are (everything becomes
more "magic"), which makes exploration and debugging harder.
This PR addresses each of these concerns:
1. To maintain reasonable compile time, it includes work to cut down the
dependencies of the `cranelift-isle` crate to *nothing* (only the Rust stdlib),
in the default build. It does this by putting the error-reporting bits
(`miette` crate) under an optional feature, and the logging (`log` crate) under
a feature-controlled macro, and manually writing an `Error` impl rather than
using `thiserror`. This completely avoids proc macros and the `syn` build slowness.
The user can still get nice errors out of `miette`: this is enabled by specifying
a Cargo feature `--features isle-errors`.
2. To allow the user to optionally inspect the generated source, which nominally
lives in a hard-to-find path inside `target/` now, this PR adds a feature `isle-in-source-tree`
that, as implied by the name, moves the target for ISLE generated source into
the source tree, at `cranelift/codegen/isle_generated_source/`. It seems reasonable
to do this when an explicit feature (opt-in) is specified because this is how ISLE regeneration
currently works as well. To prevent surprises, if the feature is *not* specified, the
build fails if this directory exists.
As discussed previously, we need a way to be able to configure Wasmtime when running it in the Sightglass benchmark infrastructure. The easiest way to do this seemed to be to pass a string from Sightglass to the `bench-api` library and parse this in the same way that Wasmtime parses its CLI flags. The structure that contains these flags is `CommonOptions`, so it has been moved to its own crate to be depended on by both `wasmtime-cli` and `wasmtime-bench-api`. Also, this change adds an externally-visible function for parsing a string into `CommonOptions`, which is used for configuring an engine.
* 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.
* Run a `cargo update` over our dependencies
This'll notably fix a `cargo audit` error where we have a pinned version
of the `regex` crate which has a CVE assigned to it.
* Update to `object` and `hashbrown` crates
Prune some duplicate versions showing up from the previous `cargo update`
With these fixes, all this PR has to do is instantiate and run the
checker on the `regalloc2::Output`. This is off by default, and is
enabled by setting the `regalloc_checker` Cranelift option.
This restores the old functionality provided by e.g. the
`backtracking_checked` regalloc algorithm setting rather than
`backtracking` when we were still on regalloc.rs.
This commit removes support for the `userfaultfd` or "uffd" syscall on
Linux. This support was originally added for users migrating from Lucet
to Wasmtime, but the recent developments of kernel-supported
copy-on-write support for memory initialization wound up being more
appropriate for these use cases than usefaultfd. The main reason for
moving to copy-on-write initialization are:
* The `userfaultfd` feature was never necessarily intended for this
style of use case with wasm and was susceptible to subtle and rare
bugs that were extremely difficult to track down. We were never 100%
certain that there were kernel bugs related to userfaultfd but the
suspicion never went away.
* Handling faults with userfaultfd was always slow and single-threaded.
Only one thread could handle faults and traveling to user-space to
handle faults is inherently slower than handling them all in the
kernel. The single-threaded aspect in particular presented a
significant scaling bottleneck for embeddings that want to run many
wasm instances in parallel.
* One of the major benefits of userfaultfd was lazy initialization of
wasm linear memory which is also achieved with the copy-on-write
initialization support we have right now.
* One of the suspected benefits of userfaultfd was less frobbing of the
kernel vma structures when wasm modules are instantiated. Currently
the copy-on-write support has a mitigation where we attempt to reuse
the memory images where possible to avoid changing vma structures.
When comparing this to userfaultfd's performance it was found that
kernel modifications of vmas aren't a worrisome bottleneck so
copy-on-write is suitable for this as well.
Overall there are no remaining benefits that userfaultfd gives that
copy-on-write doesn't, and copy-on-write solves a major downsides of
userfaultfd, the scaling issue with a single faulting thread.
Additionally copy-on-write support seems much more robust in terms of
kernel implementation since it's only using standard memory-management
syscalls which are heavily exercised. Finally copy-on-write support
provides a new bonus where read-only memory in WebAssembly can be mapped
directly to the same kernel cache page, even amongst many wasm instances
of the same module, which was never possible with userfaultfd.
In light of all this it's expected that all users of userfaultfd should
migrate to the copy-on-write initialization of Wasmtime (which is
enabled by default).
This PR switches Cranelift over to the new register allocator, regalloc2.
See [this document](https://gist.github.com/cfallin/08553421a91f150254fe878f67301801)
for a summary of the design changes. This switchover has implications for
core VCode/MachInst types and the lowering pass.
