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.)
* Fully support multiple returns in Wasmtime
For quite some time now Wasmtime has "supported" multiple return values,
but only in the mose bare bones ways. Up until recently you couldn't get
a typed version of functions with multiple return values, and never have
you been able to use `Func::wrap` with functions that return multiple
values. Even recently where `Func::typed` can call functions that return
multiple values it uses a double-indirection by calling a trampoline
which calls the real function.
The underlying reason for this lack of support is that cranelift's ABI
for returning multiple values is not possible to write in Rust. For
example if a wasm function returns two `i32` values there is no Rust (or
C!) function you can write to correspond to that. This commit, however
fixes that.
This commit adds two new ABIs to Cranelift: `WasmtimeSystemV` and
`WasmtimeFastcall`. The intention is that these Wasmtime-specific ABIs
match their corresponding ABI (e.g. `SystemV` or `WindowsFastcall`) for
everything *except* how multiple values are returned. For multiple
return values we simply define our own version of the ABI which Wasmtime
implements, which is that for N return values the first is returned as
if the function only returned that and the latter N-1 return values are
returned via an out-ptr that's the last parameter to the function.
These custom ABIs provides the ability for Wasmtime to bind these in
Rust meaning that `Func::wrap` can now wrap functions that return
multiple values and `Func::typed` no longer uses trampolines when
calling functions that return multiple values. Although there's lots of
internal changes there's no actual changes in the API surface area of
Wasmtime, just a few more impls of more public traits which means that
more types are supported in more places!
Another change made with this PR is a consolidation of how the ABI of
each function in a wasm module is selected. The native `SystemV` ABI,
for example, is more efficient at returning multiple values than the
wasmtime version of the ABI (since more things are in more registers).
To continue to take advantage of this Wasmtime will now classify some
functions in a wasm module with the "fast" ABI. Only functions that are
not reachable externally from the module are classified with the fast
ABI (e.g. those not exported, used in tables, or used with `ref.func`).
This should enable purely internal functions of modules to have a faster
calling convention than those which might be exposed to Wasmtime itself.

* Unwind info is a property of the target, not the ABI
* Remove lightbeam unused imports

* Don't always do 64-bit stores with cranelift
This was overwriting upper bits when 32-bit registers were being stored

Our previous implementation of unwind infrastructure was somewhat
complex and brittle: it parsed generated instructions in order to
reverse-engineer unwind info from prologues. It also relied on some
fragile linkage to communicate instruction-layout information that VCode
was not designed to provide.
A much simpler, more reliable, and easier-to-reason-about approach is to
embed unwind directives as pseudo-instructions in the prologue as we
generate it. That way, we can say what we mean and just emit it
directly.
The usual reasoning that leads to the reverse-engineering approach is
that metadata is hard to keep in sync across optimization passes; but
here, (i) prologues are generated at the very end of the pipeline, and
(ii) if we ever do a post-prologue-gen optimization, we can treat unwind
directives as black boxes with unknown side-effects, just as we do for
some other pseudo-instructions today.
It turns out that it was easier to just build this for both x64 and
aarch64 (since they share a factored-out ABI implementation), and wire
up the platform-specific unwind-info generation for Windows and SystemV.
Now we have simpler unwind on all platforms and we can delete the old
unwind infra as soon as we remove the old backend.
There were a few consequences to supporting Fastcall unwind in
particular that led to a refactor of the common ABI. Windows only
supports naming clobbered-register save locations within 240 bytes of
the frame-pointer register, whatever one chooses that to be (RSP or
RBP). We had previously saved clobbers below the fixed frame (and below
nominal-SP). The 240-byte range has to include the old RBP too, so we're
forced to place clobbers at the top of the frame, just below saved
RBP/RIP. This is fine; we always keep a frame pointer anyway because we
use it to refer to stack args. It does mean that offsets of fixed-frame
slots (spillslots, stackslots) from RBP are no longer known before we do
regalloc, so if we ever want to index these off of RBP rather than
nominal-SP because we add support for `alloca` (dynamic frame growth),
then we'll need a "nominal-BP" mode that is resolved after regalloc and
clobber-save code is generated. I added a comment to this effect in
`abi_impl.rs`.
The above refactor touched both x64 and aarch64 because of shared code.
This had a further effect in that the old aarch64 prologue generation
subtracted from `sp` once to allocate space, then used stores to `[sp,
offset]` to save clobbers. Unfortunately the offset only has 7-bit
range, so if there are enough clobbered registers (and there can be --
aarch64 has 384 bytes of registers; at least one unit test hits this)
the stores/loads will be out-of-range. I really don't want to synthesize
large-offset sequences here; better to go back to the simpler
pre-index/post-index `stp r1, r2, [sp, #-16]` form that works just like
a "push". It's likely not much worse microarchitecturally (dependence
chain on SP, but oh well) and it actually saves an instruction if
there's no other frame to allocate. As a further advantage, it's much
simpler to understand; simpler is usually better.
This PR adds the new backend on Windows to CI as well.
This PR adds a new `isa::lookup_variant()` that takes a `BackendVariant`
(`Legacy`, `MachInst` or `Any`), and exposes both x86 backends as
separate variants if both are compiled into the build.
This will allow some new use-cases that require both backends in the
same process: for example, differential fuzzing between old and new
backends, or perhaps allowing for dynamic feature-flag selection between
the backends.
Some of the test failures tracked by #2079 are in unwind tests that are
specific to the old x86 backend: namely, these tests invoke the unwind
implementation that is paired with the old backend, rather than generic
over all backends. It thus doesn't make sense to try to run these tests
with the new backend. (The new backend's unwind code should have
analogous tests written/ported over eventually.)
It seems that we were actually building *both* x86 backends when the
`x64` feature was enabled, except that the old x86 backend would never
be instantiated by the usual ISA-lookup logic because a `x86-64` target
triple unconditionally resolves to the new one.
This PR resolves both of the issues by tweaking the feature-config
directives to exclude the `x86` backend when `x64` is enabled.
* Make cranelift_codegen::isa::unwind::input public
* Move UnwindCode's common offset field out of the structure
* Make MachCompileResult::unwind_info more generic
* Record initial stack pointer offset
This commit makes the following changes to unwind information generation in
Cranelift:
* Remove frame layout change implementation in favor of processing the prologue
and epilogue instructions when unwind information is requested. This also
means this work is no longer performed for Windows, which didn't utilize it.
It also helps simplify the prologue and epilogue generation code.
* Remove the unwind sink implementation that required each unwind information
to be represented in final form. For FDEs, this meant writing a
complete frame table per function, which wastes 20 bytes or so for each
function with duplicate CIEs. This also enables Cranelift users to collect the
unwind information and write it as a single frame table.
* For System V calling convention, the unwind information is no longer stored
in code memory (it's only a requirement for Windows ABI to do so). This allows
for more compact code memory for modules with a lot of functions.
* Deletes some duplicate code relating to frame table generation. Users can
now simply use gimli to create a frame table from each function's unwind
information.
Fixes#1181.
