When AVX512VL or AVX512BITALG are available, Wasm SIMD's `popcnt`
instruction can be lowered to a single x64 instruction, `VPOPCNTB`,
instead of 8+ instructions.
This is sometimes useful when performing analyses on the generated
machine code: for example, some kinds of code verifiers will want to do
a control-flow analysis, and it is much easier to do this if one does
not have to recover the CFG from the machine code (doing so requires
heavyweight analysis when indirect branches are involved). If one trusts
the control-flow lowering and only needs to verify other properties of
the code, this can be very useful.
When AVX512VL and AVX512F are available, use a single instruction
(`VCVTUDQ2PS`) instead of a length 9-instruction sequence. This
optimization is a port from the legacy x86 backend.
Previously, the x64 backend's ABI code would generate a sign-extending
load when loading a less-than-64-bit integer from a spillslot. This is
incorrect: e.g., for i32s > 0x80000000, this would result in all high
bits set.
This interacts poorly with another optimization. Normally, the invariant
is that the high bits of a register holding a value of a certain type,
beyond that type's bits, are undefined. However, as an optimization, we
recognize and use the fact that on x86-64, 32-bit instructions zero the
upper 32 bits. This allows us to elide a 32-to-64-bit zero-extend op
(turning it into just a move, which can then sometimes disappear
entirely due to register coalescing).
If a spill and reload happen between the production of a 32-bit value
from an instruction known to zero the upper bits and its use, then we
will rely on zero upper bits that might actually be set by a
sign-extend. This will result in incorrect execution.
As a fix, we stick to a simple invariant: we always spill and reload a
full 64 bits when handling integer registers on x64. This ensures that
no bits are mangled.
This change implements `vselect` using SSE4.1's `BLENDVPS`, `BLENDVPD`,
and `PBLENDVB`. `vselect` is a lane-selecting instruction that is used
by
[simple_preopt.rs](fa1faf5d22/cranelift/codegen/src/simple_preopt.rs (L947-L999))
to lower `bitselect` to a single x86 instruction when the condition mask
is known to be boolean (all 1s or 0s, e.g., from a conversion). This is
better than `bitselect` in general, which lowers to 4-5 instructions.
The old backend had the `vselect` lowering; this simply introduces it to
the new backend.
Since `uadd_sat`, `sadd_sat`, `usub_sat`, and `ssub_sat` are now only
available to vector types, this removes the lowering code for the
scalar versions of these instructions in the arm32 and aarch64 backends.
This adds the machinery to encode the VPMULLQ instruction which is
available in AVX512VL and AVX512DQ. When these feature sets are
available, we use this instruction instead of a lengthy 12-instruction
sequence.
Since the lowering of `imul` complicated the other ALU operations it was
matched with and since future commits will alter the multiplication
lowering further, this change moves the `imul` lowering to its own match
block.
In order to benchmark the encoding code with criterion, the functions
and structures must be public. Moving this code to its own module
(instead of keeping as a submodule to `inst`), allows `inst` to remain
private. This avoids having to expose and document (or ignore
documenting) the numerous instruction variants in `inst` while allowing
access to the encoding code. This commit changes no functionality.
When dealing with params that need to be split, we follow the
arch64 ABI and split the value in two, and make sure that start that
argument in an even numbered xN register.
The apple ABI does not require this, so on those platforms, we start
params anywhere.
This adds support for the IBM z/Architecture (s390x-ibm-linux).
The status of the s390x backend in its current form is:
- Wasmtime is fully functional and passes all tests on s390x.
- All back-end features supported, with the exception of SIMD.
- There is still a lot of potential for performance improvements.
- Currently the only supported processor type is z15.
This removes an existing dependency on the byteorder crate in favor of
using std equivalents directly.
While not an issue for wasmtime per se, cranelift is now part of the
critical path of building and testing Rust, and minimizing dependencies,
even small ones, can help reduce the time and bandwidth required.
Following the new ABI introduced for efficient support of multiple return values, the old-backend test for generating unwind information was incomplete, resulting in no unwind information being generated and traps not being correctly caught by the runtime.
PR 2840 changed the store_spillslot routine to always store
integer registers in full word size to a spill slot. However,
the load_spillslot routine was not updated, which may causes
the contents to be reloaded in a different type. On big-endian
systems this will fetch wrong data.
Fixed by using the same type override in load_spillslot.
* x64: add EVEX encoding mechanism
Also, includes an empty stub module for the VEX encoding.
* x64: lower abs.i64x2 to VPABSQ when available
* x64: refactor EVEX encodings to use `EvexInstruction`
This change replaces the `encode_evex` function with a builder-style struct, `EvexInstruction`. This approach clarifies the code, adds documentation, and results in slight speedups when benchmarked.
* x64: rename encoding CodeSink to ByteSink
The patch extends the unwinder to support targets that do not need
to use a dedicated frame pointer register. Specifically, the
changes include:
- Change the "fp" routine in the RegisterMapper to return an
*optional* frame pointer regsiter via Option<Register>.
- On targets that choose to not define a FP register via the above
routine, the UnwindInst::DefineNewFrame operation no longer switches
the CFA to be defined in terms of the FP. (The operation still can
be used to define the location of the clobber area.)
- In addition, on targets that choose not to define a FP register, the
UnwindInst::PushFrameRegs operation is not supported.
- There is a new operation UnwindInst::StackAlloc that needs to be
called on targets without FP whenever the stack pointer is updated.
This caused the CFA offset to be adjusted accordingly. (On
targets with FP this operation is a no-op.)
The unwind rework (commit 2d5db92a) removed support for the
feature to allow a target to allocate the space for outgoing
function arguments right in the prologue (originally added
via commit 80c2d70d). This patch adds it back.
After the unwind rework (commit 2d5db92a) the space used to save
clobbered registers now lies between the nominal SP and the FP.
Therefore, the size of that space should now be included in the
frame size as reported by frame_size(), since this value is used
to compute the nominal_sp_to_fp offset.
This re-factoring replaces uses of `Inst::mov_r_m` with `Inst::store` to ensure there is only one code location to troubleshoot when generating store instructions for a specific type.
Previously, `Inst::store` only understood a subset of the scalar types, which resulted in failures seen in #2826. This change allows `Inst::store` to generate instructions for all scalar widths (`8 | 16 | 32 | 64`) since all of these are supported in the emission code of `Inst::MovRM`.
SIMD & FP registers are now saved and restored in pairs, similarly
to general-purpose registers. Also, only the bottom 64 bits of the
registers are saved and restored (in case of non-Baldrdash ABIs),
which is the requirement from the Procedure Call Standard for the
Arm 64-bit Architecture.
As for the callee-saved general-purpose registers, if a procedure
needs to save and restore an odd number of them, it no longer uses
store and load pair instructions for the last register.

Because there are instructions that are present in more than one ISA feature set, we need to see if any of the ISA requirements match before emitting. This change includes the `VPABSQ` instruction as an example, which is present in both `AVX512F` and `AVX512VL`.
