* Enable copy-on-write heap initialization by default
This commit enables the `Config::memfd` feature by default now that it's
been fuzzed for a few weeks on oss-fuzz, and will continue to be fuzzed
leading up to the next release of Wasmtime in early March. The
documentation of the `Config` option has been updated as well as adding
a CLI flag to disable the feature.
* Remove ubiquitous "memfd" terminology
Switch instead to forms of "memory image" or "cow" or some combination
thereof.
* Update new option names
* Skip memfd creation with precompiled modules
This commit updates the memfd support internally to not actually use a
memfd if a compiled module originally came from disk via the
`wasmtime::Module::deserialize_file` API. In this situation we already
have a file descriptor open and there's no need to copy a module's heap
image to a new file descriptor.
To facilitate a new source of `mmap` the currently-memfd-specific-logic
of creating a heap image is generalized to a new form of
`MemoryInitialization` which is attempted for all modules at
module-compile-time. This means that the serialized artifact to disk
will have the memory image in its entirety waiting for us. Furthermore
the memory image is ensured to be padded and aligned carefully to the
target system's page size, notably meaning that the data section in the
final object file is page-aligned and the size of the data section is
also page aligned.
This means that when a precompiled module is mapped from disk we can
reuse the underlying `File` to mmap all initial memory images. This
means that the offset-within-the-memory-mapped-file can differ for
memfd-vs-not, but that's just another piece of state to track in the
memfd implementation.
In the limit this waters down the term "memfd" for this technique of
quickly initializing memory because we no longer use memfd
unconditionally (only when the backing file isn't available).
This does however open up an avenue in the future to porting this
support to other OSes because while `memfd_create` is Linux-specific
both macOS and Windows support mapping a file with copy-on-write. This
porting isn't done in this PR and is left for a future refactoring.
Closes#3758
* Enable "memfd" support on all unix systems
Cordon off the Linux-specific bits and enable the memfd support to
compile and run on platforms like macOS which have a Linux-like `mmap`.
This only works if a module is mapped from a precompiled module file on
disk, but that's better than not supporting it at all!
* Fix linux compile
* Use `Arc<File>` instead of `MmapVecFileBacking`
* Use a named struct instead of mysterious tuples
* Comment about unsafety in `Module::deserialize_file`
* Fix tests
* Fix uffd compile
* Always align data segments
No need to have conditional alignment since their sizes are all aligned
anyway
* Update comment in build.rs
* Use rustix, not `region`
* Fix some confusing logic/names around memory indexes
These functions all work with memory indexes, not specifically defined
memory indexes.
This commit adds a `#[link]` annotation to the block defining symbols
coming from a native static library that we build and link. This is
required by rustc to get symbols to get exported correctly when linking
wasmtime into a Rust dynamic library instead of always as an rlib.
While I was at it I went ahead and renamed the symbols now that they're
no longer in C++ and they're doing setjmp/longjmp and not much else.
Closes#3006
Apparently on macOS `setjmp` manipulates the process-wide signal mask
which adds a good deal of overhead. We don't actually need this
functionality so this commit switches to using the `sig` version of
setjmp/longjmp where we can explicitly ask the signal mask to not get
preserved. This came out of poking around on #2644 and on macOS locally
thi sdropped the overhead from 721ns to 55ns.
* Remove C++ dependency from `wasmtime`
This commit removes the last wads of C++ that we have in wasmtime,
meaning that building wasmtime no longer requires a C++ compiler. It
still does require a C toolchain for some minor purposes, but hopefully
we can remove that over time too!
The motivation for doing this is to consolidate all our signal-handling
code into one location in one language so you don't have to keep
crossing back and forth when understanding what's going on. This also
allows us to remove some extra cruft that wasn't necessary from the C++
original implementation. Additionally this should also make building
wasmtime a bit more portable since it's often easier to acquire a C
toolchain than it is to acquire a C++ toolchain. (e.g. if you're
cross-compiling to a musl target)
