Previously, every call was lowered on AArch64 to a `call` instruction, which
takes a signed 26-bit PC-relative offset. Including the 2-bit left shift, this
gives a range of +/- 128 MB. Longer-distance offsets would cause an impossible
relocation record to be emitted (or rather, a record that a more sophisticated
linker would fix up by inserting a shim/veneer).
This commit adds a notion of "relocation distance" in the MachInst backends,
and provides this information for every call target and symbol reference. The
intent is that backends on architectures like AArch64, where there are different
offset sizes / addressing strategies to choose from, can either emit a regular
call or a load-64-bit-constant / call-indirect sequence, as necessary. This
avoids the need to implement complex linking behavior.
The MachInst driver code provides this information based on the "colocated" bit
in the CLIF symbol references, which appears to have been designed for this
purpose, or at least a similar one. Combined with the `use_colocated_libcalls`
setting, this allows client code to ensure that library calls can link to
library code at any location in the address space.
Separately, the `simplejit` example did not handle `Arm64Call`; rather than doing
so, it appears all that is necessary to get its tests to pass is to set the
`use_colocated_libcalls` flag to false, to make use of the above change. This
fixes the `libcall_function` unit-test in this crate.
This change adds SourceLoc information per instruction in a `VCode<Inst>`
container, and keeps this information up-to-date across register allocation
and branch reordering. The information is initially collected during
instruction lowering, eventually collected on the MachSection, and finally
provided to the environment that wraps the codegen crate for wasmtime.
- Undo temporary changes to default features (`all-arch`) and a
signal-handler test.
- Remove `SIGTRAP` handler: no longer needed now that we've found an
"undefined opcode" option on ARM64.
- Rename pp.rs to pretty_print.rs in machinst/.
- Only use empty stack-probe on non-x86. As per a comment in
rust-lang/compiler-builtins [1], LLVM only supports stack probes on
x86 and x86-64. Thus, on any other CPU architecture, we cannot refer
to `__rust_probestack`, because it does not exist.
- Rename arm64 to aarch64.
- Use `target` directive in vcode filetests.
- Run the flags verifier, but without encinfo, when using new backends.
- Clean up warning overrides.
- Fix up use of casts: use u32::from(x) and siblings when possible,
u32::try_from(x).unwrap() when not, to avoid silent truncation.
- Take immutable `Function` borrows as input; we don't actually
mutate the input IR.
- Lots of other miscellaneous cleanups.

This patch adds the MachInst, or Machine Instruction, infrastructure.
This is the machine-independent portion of the new backend design. It
contains the implementation of the "vcode" (virtual-registerized code)
container, the top-level lowering algorithm and compilation pipeline,
and the trait definitions that the machine backends will fill in.
This backend infrastructure is included in the compilation of the
`codegen` crate, but it is not yet tied into the public APIs; that patch
will come last, after all the other pieces are filled in.
This patch contains code written by Julian Seward <jseward@acm.org> and
Benjamin Bouvier <public@benj.me>, originally developed on a side-branch
before rebasing and condensing into this patch series. See the `arm64`
branch at `https://github.com/cfallin/wasmtime` for original development
history.
