* Refactor the structure and responsibilities of `CodeGenContext`
This commit refactors how the `CodeGenContext` is used throughout the code
generation process, making it easier to pass it around when more flexibility is
desired in the MacroAssembler to perform the lowering of certain instructions.
As of this change, the responsibility of the `CodeGenContext` is to provide an
interface for operations that require an orchestration between the register
allocator, the value stack and function's frame. The MacroAssembler is removed
from the CodeGenContext as is passed as a dependency where needed, effectly
using it as an independent code generation interface only.
By giving more responsibilities to the `CodeGenContext` we can clearly separate
the concerns of the register allocator, which previously did more than it
should (e.g. popping values and spilling).
This change ultimately allows passing in the `CodeGenContext` to the
`MacroAssembler` when a given instruction cannot be generically described
through a common interface. Allowing each implementation to decide the best way
to lower a particular instruction.
* winch: Add support for the WebAssembly `<i32|i64>.div_*` instructions
Given that some architectures have very specific requirements on how to handle
division, this change uses `CodeGenContext` as a dependency to the `div`
MacroAssembler instruction to ensure that each implementation can decide on how to lower the
division. This approach also allows -- in architectures where division can be
expressed as an ordinary binary operation -- to rely on the
`CodeGenContext::i32_binop` or `CodeGenContext::i64_binop` helpers.
This patch adds complete support for the `sub` and `add` WebAssembly instructions
for x64, and complete support for the `add` WebAssembly instruction for aarch64.
This patch also refactors how the binary operations get constructed within the
`VisitOperator` trait implementation. The refactor adds methods in the
`CodeGenContext` to abstract all the common steps to emit binary operations,
making this process less repetitive and less brittle (e.g. omitting to push the resulting value
to the stack, or omitting to free registers after used).
This patch also improves test coverage and refactors the filetests directory to make it
easier to add tests for other instructions.
This commit fixes an incorrect usage of `func_type_at` to retrieve a defined
function signature and instead uses `function_at` to retrieve the signature.
Additionally it enhances `winch-tools` `compile` and `test` commands to handle
modules with multiple functions correctly.
This patch introduces basic aarch64 code generation by using
`cranelift-codegen`'s backend.
This commit *does not*:
* Change the semantics of the code generation
* Adds support for other Wasm instructions
The most notable change in this patch is how addressing modes are handled at the
MacroAssembler layer: instead of having a canonical address representation, this
patch introduces the addressing mode as an associated type in the
MacroAssembler trait. This approach has the advantage that gives each ISA enough
flexiblity to describe the addressing modes and their constraints in isolation
without having to worry on how a particular addressing mode is going to affect
other ISAs. In the case of Aarch64 this becomes useful to describe indexed
addressing modes (particularly from the stack pointer).
This patch uses the concept of a shadow stack pointer (x28) as a workaround to
Aarch64's stack pointer 16-byte alignment. This constraint is enforced by:
* Introducing specialized addressing modes when using the real stack pointer; this
enables auditing when the real stack pointer is used. As of this change, the
real stack pointer is only used in the function's prologue and epilogue.
* Asserting that the real stack pointer is not used as a base for addressing
modes.
* Ensuring that at any point during the code generation process where the stack
pointer changes (e.g. when stack space is allocated / deallocated) the value of
the real stack pointer is copied into the shadow stack pointer.
This commit contains a small set of clean up items for x64.
Notably:
* Adds filetests
* Documents why 16 for the arg base offset abi implementation, for clarity.
* Fixes a bug in the spill implementation caught while anlyzing the
filetests results. The fix consists of emitting a load instead of a store into
the scratch register before spiiling its value.
* Remove dead code for pretty printing registers which is not needed anymore
since we now have proper disassembly.
* Adding in the foundations for Winch `filetests`
This commit adds two new crates into the Winch workspace:
`filetests` and `test-macros`. The intent is to mimic the
structure of Cranelift `filetests`, but in a simpler way.
* Updates to documentation
This commits adds a high level document to outline how to test Winch
through the `winch-tools` utility. It also updates some inline
documentation which gets propagated to the CLI.
* Updating test-macro to use a glob instead of only a flat directory
