This opcode was removed as part of the old-backend cleanup in #3446.
While this opcode will definitely go away eventually, it is
unfortunately still used today in Lucet (as we just discovered while
working to upgrade Lucet's pinned Cranelift version). Lucet is
deprecated and slated to eventually be completely sunset in favor of
Wasmtime; but until that happens, we need to keep this opcode.
This also paves the way for unifying TargetIsa and MachBackend, since now they map one to one. In theory the two traits could be merged, which would be nice to limit the number of total concepts. Also they have quite different responsibilities, so it might be fine to keep them separate.
Interestingly, this PR started as removing RegInfo from the TargetIsa trait since the adapter returned a dummy value there. From the fallout, noticed that all Display implementations didn't needed an ISA anymore (since these were only used to render ISA specific registers). Also the whole family of RegInfo / ValueLoc / RegUnit was exclusively used for the old backend, and these could be removed. Notably, some IR instructions needed to be removed, because they were using RegUnit too: this was the oddball of regfill / regmove / regspill / copy_special, which were IR instructions inserted by the old regalloc. Fare thee well!
Rename the existing AtomicRMW to AtomicRMWLoop and directly lower
atomic_rmw operations, without a loop if LSE support is available.

There were cases where the AArch64 backend assumed that an IR
operation would always operate on certain types (the most likely
reason being that the corresponding WebAssembly instruction did
not cover anything else), even though the definition of the IR
operation imposed no constraints like that.

* Use relative `call` instructions between wasm functions
This commit is a relatively major change to the way that Wasmtime
generates code for Wasm modules and how functions call each other.
Prior to this commit all function calls between functions, even if they
were defined in the same module, were done indirectly through a
register. To implement this the backend would emit an absolute 8-byte
relocation near all function calls, load that address into a register,
and then call it. While this technique is simple to implement and easy
to get right, it has two primary downsides associated with it:
* Function calls are always indirect which means they are more difficult
to predict, resulting in worse performance.
* Generating a relocation-per-function call requires expensive
relocation resolution at module-load time, which can be a large
contributing factor to how long it takes to load a precompiled module.
To fix these issues, while also somewhat compromising on the previously
simple implementation technique, this commit switches wasm calls within
a module to using the `colocated` flag enabled in Cranelift-speak, which
basically means that a relative call instruction is used with a
relocation that's resolved relative to the pc of the call instruction
itself.
When switching the `colocated` flag to `true` this commit is also then
able to move much of the relocation resolution from `wasmtime_jit::link`
into `wasmtime_cranelift::obj` during object-construction time. This
frontloads all relocation work which means that there's actually no
relocations related to function calls in the final image, solving both
of our points above.
The main gotcha in implementing this technique is that there are
hardware limitations to relative function calls which mean we can't
simply blindly use them. AArch64, for example, can only go +/- 64 MB
from the `bl` instruction to the target, which means that if the
function we're calling is a greater distance away then we would fail to
resolve that relocation. On x86_64 the limits are +/- 2GB which are much
larger, but theoretically still feasible to hit. Consequently the main
increase in implementation complexity is fixing this issue.
This issue is actually already present in Cranelift itself, and is
internally one of the invariants handled by the `MachBuffer` type. When
generating a function relative jumps between basic blocks have similar
restrictions. This commit adds new methods for the `MachBackend` trait
and updates the implementation of `MachBuffer` to account for all these
new branches. Specifically the changes to `MachBuffer` are:
* For AAarch64 the `LabelUse::Branch26` value now supports veneers, and
AArch64 calls use this to resolve relocations.
* The `emit_island` function has been rewritten internally to handle
some cases which previously didn't come up before, such as:
* When emitting an island the deadline is now recalculated, where
previously it was always set to infinitely in the future. This was ok
prior since only a `Branch19` supported veneers and once it was
promoted no veneers were supported, so without multiple layers of
promotion the lack of a new deadline was ok.
* When emitting an island all pending fixups had veneers forced if
their branch target wasn't known yet. This was generally ok for
19-bit fixups since the only kind getting a veneer was a 19-bit
fixup, but with mixed kinds it's a bit odd to force veneers for a
26-bit fixup just because a nearby 19-bit fixup needed a veneer.
Instead fixups are now re-enqueued unless they're known to be
out-of-bounds. This may run the risk of generating more islands for
19-bit branches but it should also reduce the number of islands for
between-function calls.
* Otherwise the internal logic was tweaked to ideally be a bit more
simple, but that's a pretty subjective criteria in compilers...
I've added some simple testing of this for now. A synthetic compiler
option was create to simply add padded 0s between functions and test
cases implement various forms of calls that at least need veneers. A
test is also included for x86_64, but it is unfortunately pretty slow
because it requires generating 2GB of output. I'm hoping for now it's
not too bad, but we can disable the test if it's prohibitive and
otherwise just comment the necessary portions to be sure to run the
ignored test if these parts of the code have changed.
The final end-result of this commit is that for a large module I'm
working with the number of relocations dropped to zero, meaning that
nothing actually needs to be done to the text section when it's loaded
into memory (yay!). I haven't run final benchmarks yet but this is the
last remaining source of significant slowdown when loading modules,
after I land a number of other PRs both active and ones that I only have
locally for now.

* Cranelift AArch64: Simplify leaf functions that do not use the stack
Leaf functions that do not use the stack (e.g. do not clobber any
callee-saved registers) do not need a frame record.

The tests for the SIMD floating-point maximum and minimum operations
require particular care because the handling of the NaN values is
non-deterministic and may vary between platforms. There is no way to
match several NaN values in a test, so the solution is to extract the
non-deterministic test cases into a separate file that is subsequently
replicated for every backend under test, with adjustments made to the
expected results.

The AArch64 support was a bit broken and was using Armv7 style
barriers, which aren't required with Armv8 acquire-release
load/stores.
The fallback CAS loops and RMW, for AArch64, have also been updated
to use acquire-release, exclusive, instructions which, again, remove
the need for barriers. The CAS loop has also been further optimised
by using the extending form of the cmp instruction.

Cranelift crates have historically been much more verbose with debug-level
logging than most other crates in the Rust ecosystem. We log things like how
many parameters a basic block has, the color of virtual registers during
regalloc, etc. Even for Cranelift hackers, these things are largely only useful
when hacking specifically on Cranelift and looking at a particular test case,
not even when using some Cranelift embedding (such as Wasmtime).
Most of the time, when people want logging for their Rust programs, they do
something like:
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run
This means that they get all that mostly not useful debug logging out of
Cranelift. So they might want to disable logging for Cranelift, or change it to
a higher log level:
RUST_LOG=debug,cranelift=info cargo run
The problem is that this is already more annoying to type that `RUST_LOG=debug`,
and that Cranelift isn't one single crate, so you actually have to play
whack-a-mole with naming all the Cranelift crates off the top of your head,
something more like this:
RUST_LOG=debug,cranelift=info,cranelift_codegen=info,cranelift_wasm=info,...
Therefore, we're changing most of the `debug!` logs into `trace!` logs: anything
that is very Cranelift-internal, unlikely to be useful/meaningful to the
"average" Cranelift embedder, or prints a message for each instruction visited
during a pass. On the other hand, things that just report a one line statistic
for a whole pass, for example, are left as `debug!`. The more verbose the log
messages are, the higher the bar they must clear to be `debug!` rather than
`trace!`.
This commit addresses two issues:
* A panic when shifting any non i128 type by i128 amounts (#3064)
* Wrong results when lowering shifts with small types (i8, i16)
In these types when shifting for amounts larger than the size of the
type, we would not get the wrapping behaviour that we see on i32 and i64.
This is because in these larger types, the wrapping behaviour is automatically
implemented by using the appropriate instruction, however we do not
have i8 and i16 specific instructions, so we have to manually wrap
the shift amount with an AND instruction.
This issue is also found on x86_64 and s390x, and a separate issue will
be filed for those.
Closes#3064
When encoding constants as immediates into an RSE Imm12 instruction we need to take special care to check if the value that we are trying to input does not overflow its type when viewed as a signed value. (i.e. iconst.i8 200)
We cannot both put an immediate and sign extend it, so we need to lower it into a separate reg, and emit the sign extend into the instruction.
For more details see the [cg_clif bug report](https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift/issues/1184#issuecomment-873214796).
Also, reorganize the AArch64-specific VCode instructions for unary
narrowing and widening vector operations, so that they are more
straightforward to use.

Implement the `TlsValue` opcode in the aarch64 backend for ELF_GD.
This is a little bit unusual as the default TLS mechanism for aarch64 is TLS Descriptors in other compilers.
However currently we only recognize elf_gd so lets start with that as a TLS implementation.
