This commit removes the Lightbeam backend from Wasmtime as per [RFC 14].
This backend hasn't received maintenance in quite some time, and as [RFC
14] indicates this doesn't meet the threshold for keeping the code
in-tree, so this commit removes it.
A fast "baseline" compiler may still be added in the future. The
addition of such a backend should be in line with [RFC 14], though, with
the principles we now have for stable releases of Wasmtime. I'll close
out Lightbeam-related issues once this is merged.
[RFC 14]: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rfcs/pull/14
* Add support for x64 packed promote low
* Add support for x64 packed floating point demote
* Update vector promote low and demote by adding constraints
Also does some renaming and minor refactoring
Previously, the multiple flags for certain AVX512 instructions were
checked using `OR`: e.g., if the CPU has AVX512VL `OR` AVX512DQ,
emit `VPMULLQ`. This is incorrect--the logic should be `AND`. The Intel
Software Developer Manual, vol. 1, sec. 15.4, has more information on
this (notable there is the suggestion to check with `XGETBV` that the OS
is allowing the use of the XMM registers--but that is a separate issue).
This change switches to `AND` logic in the new backend.
When shuffling values from two different registers, the x64 lowering for
`i8x16.shuffle` must first shuffle each register separately and then OR
the results with SSE instructions. With `VPERMI2B`, available in
AVX512VL + AVX512VBMI, this can be done in a single instruction after
the shuffle mask has been moved into the destination register. This
change uses `VPERMI2B` for that case when the CPU supports it.
When AVX512VL or AVX512BITALG are available, Wasm SIMD's `popcnt`
instruction can be lowered to a single x64 instruction, `VPOPCNTB`,
instead of 8+ instructions.
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.
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.
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.
* 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
This instruction has a single instruction lowering in AVX512F/VL and a three instruction lowering in AVX but neither is currently supported in the x64 backend. To implement this, we instead subtract the vector from 0 and use a blending instruction to pick the lanes containing the absolute value.
This fixes#2672 and #2679, and also fixes an incorrect instruction
emission (`test` with small immediate) that we had missed earlier.
The shift-related fixes have to do with (i) shifts by 0 bits, as a
special case that must be handled; and (ii) shifts by a 128-bit amount,
which we can handle by just dropping the upper half (we only use 3--7
bits of shift amount).
This adjusts the lowerings appropriately, and also adds run-tests to
ensure that the lowerings actually execute correctly (previously we only
had compile-tests with golden lowerings; I'd like to correct this for
more ops eventually, adding run-tests beyond what the Wasm spec and
frontend covers).
This follows the implementation in the legacy x86 backend, including
hardcoded sequence that is compatible with what the linker expects. We
could potentially do better here, but it is likely not necessary.
Thanks to @bjorn3 for a bugfix to an earlier version of this.
This implements all of the ops on I128 that are implemented by the
legacy x86 backend, and includes all that are required by at least one
major use-case (cg_clif rustc backend).
The sequences are open-coded where necessary; for e.g. the bit
operations, this can be somewhat complex, but these sequences have been
tested carefully. This PR also includes a drive-by fix of clz/ctz for 8-
and 16-bit cases where they were incorrect previously.
Also includes ridealong fixes developed while bringing up cg_clif
support, because they are difficult to completely separate due to
other refactors that occurred in this PR:
- fix REX prefix logic for some 8-bit instructions.
When using an 8-bit register in 64-bit mode on x86-64, the REX prefix
semantics are somewhat subtle: without the REX prefix, register numbers
4--7 correspond to the second-to-lowest byte of the first four registers
(AH, CH, BH, DH), whereas with the REX prefix, these register numbers
correspond to the usual encoding (SPL, BPL, SIL, DIL). We could always
emit a REX byte for instructions with 8-bit cases (this is harmless even
if unneeded), but this would unnecessarily inflate code size; instead,
the usual approach is to emit it only for these registers.
This logic was present in some cases but missing for some other
instructions: divide, not, negate, shifts.
Fixes#2508.
- avoid unaligned SSE loads on some f64 ops.
The implementations of several FP ops, such as fabs/fneg, used SSE
instructions. This is not a problem per-se, except that load-op merging
did not take *alignment* into account. Specifically, if an op on an f64
loaded from memory happened to merge that load, and the instruction into
which it was merged was an SSE instruction, then the SSE instruction
imposes stricter (128-bit) alignment requirements than the load.f64 did.
This PR simply forces any instruction lowerings that could use SSE
instructions to implement non-SIMD operations to take inputs in
registers only, and avoid load-op merging.
Fixes#2507.
- two bugfixes exposed by cg_clif: urem/srem.i8, select.b1.
- urem/srem.i8: the 8-bit form of the DIV instruction on x86-64 places
the remainder in AH, not RDX, different from all the other width-forms
of this instruction.
- select.b1: we were not recognizing selects of boolean values as
integer-typed operations, so we were generating XMM moves instead (!).
Previously, `select` and `brz`/`brnz` instructions, when given a `b1`
boolean argument, would test whether that boolean argument was nonzero,
rather than whether its LSB was nonzero. Since our invariant for mapping
CLIF state to machine state is that bits beyond the width of a value are
undefined, the proper lowering is to test only the LSB.
(aarch64 does not have the same issue because its `Extend` pseudoinst
already properly handles masking of b1 values when a zero-extend is
requested, as it is for select/brz/brnz.)

In existing MachInst backends, many instructions -- any that can trap or
result in a relocation -- carry `SourceLoc` values in order to propagate
the location-in-original-source to use to describe resulting traps or
relocation errors.
This is quite tedious, and also error-prone: it is likely that the
necessary plumbing will be missed in some cases, and in any case, it's
unnecessarily verbose.
This PR factors out the `SourceLoc` handling so that it is tracked
during emission as part of the `EmitState`, and plumbed through
automatically by the machine-independent framework. Instruction emission
code that directly emits trap or relocation records can query the
current location as necessary. Then we only need to ensure that memory
references and trap instructions, at their (one) emission point rather
than their (many) lowering/generation points, are wired up correctly.
This does have the side-effect that some loads and stores that do not
correspond directly to user code's heap accesses will have unnecessary
but harmless trap metadata. For example, the load that fetches a code
offset from a jump table will have a 'heap out of bounds' trap record
attached to it; but because it is bounds-checked, and will never
actually trap if the lowering is correct, this should be harmless. The
simplicity improvement here seemed more worthwhile to me than plumbing
through a "corresponds to user-level load/store" bit, because the latter
is a bit complex when we allow for op merging.
Closes#2290: though it does not implement a full "metadata" scheme as
described in that issue, this seems simpler overall.
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.
In particular:
- try to optimize the integer emission into a 32-bit emission, when the
high bits are all zero, and stop relying on the caller of `imm_r` to
ensure this.
- rename `Inst::imm_r`/`Inst::Imm_R` to `Inst::imm`/`Inst::Imm`.
- generate a sign-extending mov 32-bit immediate to 64-bits, whenever
possible.
- fix a few places where the previous commit did introduce the
generation of zero-constants with xor, when calling `put_input_to_reg`,
thus clobbering the flags before they were read.
