The flag guarantees that the generated function does not have any
internal return instructions. If the function returns at all, the return
must be the last instruction.
For now just implement a verifier check for this property. When we get
CFG simplifiers and block layout optimizations, they will need to heed
the flag.
This allows the environment to control the signatures used for direct
function calls. The signature and calling convention may depend on
whether the function is imported or local.
Also add WasmRuntime::declare_func_{import,type} to notify the runtime
about imported and local functions. This is necessary so the runtime
knows what function indexes are referring to .
Since imported and local functions are now declared to the runtime, it
is no longer necessary to return hashes mapping between WebAssembly
indexes and Cretonne entities.
Also stop return null entries for the imported functions in the
TranslationResult. Just return a vector of local functions.
The function environment is now expected to keep track of the function
signatures in the module, and it is asked to generate Cretonne
signatures to be used for indirect calls.
The combination of make_indirect_sig() and translate_call_indirect()
callbacks allow the runtime to insert additional function arguments for
indirect calls such as vmctx pointers and CFI-style signature identifiers.
Fixes#147.
The Solver::reassign_in() method would previously not record fixed
register assignments for values that are already in the correct
register. The register would simply be marked as unavailable for the
solver.
This did have the effect of tripping up the sanity checks in
Solver::add_var() when that method was called with such a "reassigned"
value. The function can be called for a value that already has a fixed
assignment, but the sanity checks want to make sure the variable
constraints are compatible with the existing fixed assignment. When no
such assignment could be found, the method panicked.
To fix this, make sure that even identity reassignments are recorded
in the assignments vector. Instead, filter the identity assignments out
before scheduling a move sequence for the assignments.
Also add some debug tracing to the regalloc solver.
Use these encodings to test trapz.b1 and trapnz.b1.
When a b1 value is stored in a register, only the low 8 bits are valid.
This is so we can use the various setCC instructions to generate the b1
registers.
The expansion of a heap_addr instruction depends on the type of heap and
its configuration, so this is handled by custom code.
Add a couple examples of heap access code to the language reference
manual.
Add preamble syntax for declaring static and dynamic heaps, and update
the langref section on heaps. Add IR support for heap references.
Remove the heap_load and heap_store as discussed in #144. We will use
heap_addr along with native load and store instructions in their place.
Add the heap_addr instruction and document its bounds checking
semantics.
The new PrimaryMap replaces the primary EntityMap and the PrimaryEntityData
marker trait which was causing some confusion. We now have a clear
division between the two types of maps:
- PrimaryMap is used to assign entity numbers to the primary data for an
entity.
- EntityMap is a secondary mapping adding additional info.
The split also means that the secondary EntityMap can now behave as if
all keys have a default value. This means that we can get rid of the
annoying ensure() and get_or_default() methods ther were used everywhere
instead of indexing. Just use normal indexing now; non-existent keys
will return the default value.
The code to compute the address of a global variable depends on the kind
of variable, so custom legalization is required.
- Add a legalizer::globalvar module which exposes an
expand_global_addr() function. This module is likely to grow as we add
more types of global variables.
- Add a ArgumentPurpose::VMContext enumerator. This is used to represent
special 'vmctx' arguments that are used as base pointers for vmctx
globals.
See #144 for discussion.
- Add a new GlobalVar entity type both in Python and Rust.
- Define a UnaryGlobalVar instruction format containing a GlobalVar
reference.
- Add a globalvar.rs module defining the GlobalVarData with support for
'vmctx' and 'deref' global variable kinds.
Langref:
Add a section about global variables and the global_addr
instruction.
Parser:
Add support for the UnaryGlobalVar instruction format as well as
global variable declarations in the preamble.
Also move the extending loads and truncating stores into the bulkier
"Operations" section to improve the flow of the "Memory" section in the
language reference.
A CallConv enum on every function signature makes it possible to
generate calls to functions with different calling conventions within
the same ISA / within a single function.
The calling conventions also serve as a way of customizing Cretonne's
behavior when embedded inside a VM. As an example, the SpiderWASM
calling convention is used to compile WebAssembly functions that run
inside the SpiderMonkey virtual machine.
All function signatures must have a calling convention at the end, so
this changes the textual IL syntax.
Before:
sig1 = signature(i32, f64) -> f64
After
sig1 = (i32, f64) -> f64 native
sig2 = (i32) spiderwasm
When printing functions, the signature goes after the return types:
function %r1() -> i32, f32 spiderwasm {
ebb1:
...
}
In the parser, this calling convention is optional and defaults to
"native". This is mostly to avoid updating all the existing test cases
under filetests/. When printing a function, the calling convention is
always included, including for "native" functions.
When making an outgoing call, some arguments may have to be passed on
the stack. Allocate OutgoingArg stack slots for these arguments and
write them immediately before the outgoing call instruction.
Do the same for incoming function arguments on the stack, but use
IncomingArg stack slots instead. This was previously done in the
spiller, but we move it to the legalizer so it is done at the same time
as outgoing stack arguments.
These stack slot assignments are done in the legalizer before live
range analysis because the outgoing arguments usually are in different
SSSA values with their own short live ranges.
* Added Intel x86-64 encodings for 64bit loads and store instructions
* Using GPR registers instead of ABCD for istore8 with REX prefix
Fixed testing of 64bit intel encoding
* Emit REX and REX-less encodings for optional REX prefix
Value renumbering in binary64.cton
The following instructions have simple encodings:
- bitcast.f32.i32
- bitcast.i32.f32
- bitcast.f64.i64
- bitcast.i64.f64
- fpromote.f64.f32
- fdemote.f32.f64
Also add helper functions enc_flt() and enc_i32_i64 to
intel.encodings.py for generating the common set of encodings for an
instruction: I32, I64 w/REX, I64 w/o REX.
The encoding tables are keyed by the controlling type variable only. We
need to distinguish different encodings for instructions with multiple
type variables.
Add a TypePredicate instruction predicate which can check the type of an
instruction value operand. Combine type checks into the instruction
predicate for instructions with more than one type variable.
Add Intel encodings for fcvt_from_sint.f32.i64 which can now be
distinguished from fcvt_from_sint.f32.i32.
ARM has all of these as scalar integer instructions. Intel has band_not
in SSE and as a scalar in BMI1.
Add the trivial legalization patterns that use a bnot instruction.
These map to single Intel instructions.
The i64 to float conversions are not tested yet. The encoding tables
can't yet differentiate instructions on a secondary type variable alone.
This instruction returns a `b1` value which is represented as the output
of a setCC instruction which is the low 8 bits of a GPR register. Use a
cmp+setCC macro recipe to encode this. That is not ideal, but we can't
represent CPU flags yet.
A fallthrough jump is actually represented as 0 bytes, so no encoding is
needed.
Also allow for unencoded instructions in the generated emit_inst
implementations. The verifier has stricter rules for when this is
allowed.
Register locations can change throughout an EBB. Make sure the
emit_inst() function considers this when encoding instructions and
update the register diversion tracker.
