This commit extracts the two implementations of `Compiler` into two
separate crates, `wasmtime-cranelfit` and `wasmtime-lightbeam`. The
`wasmtime-jit` crate then depends on these two and instantiates them
appropriately. The goal here is to start reducing the weight of the
`wasmtime-environ` crate, which currently serves as a common set of
types between all `wasmtime-*` crates. Long-term I'd like to remove the
dependency on Cranelift from `wasmtime-environ`, but that's going to
take a lot more work.
In the meantime I figure it's a good way to get started by separating
out the lightbeam/cranelift function compilers from the
`wasmtime-environ` crate. We can continue to iterate on moving things
out in the future, too.
see https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/1816
DEPRECATION NOTICE: the Cranelift developer team intends to stop maintaining
the `cranelift-faerie` crate and remove it from the `wasmtime` git repository
on or after August 3, 2020. We recommend users use its successor, the
`cranelift-object` crate.
This upgrade pulls in one memory-allocation reduction improvement
(bytecodealliance/regalloc.rs#95). There should be no change in behavior
as a result of this.
This commit moves all of the caching support that currently lives in
`wasmtime-environ` into a `wasmtime-cache` crate and makes it optional. The
goal here is to slim down the `wasmtime-environ` crate and clearly separate
boundaries where caching is a standalone and optional feature, not intertwined
with other crates.
* Refactor where results of compilation are stored
This commit refactors the internals of compilation in Wasmtime to change
where results of individual function compilation are stored. Previously
compilation resulted in many maps being returned, and compilation
results generally held all these maps together. This commit instead
switches this to have all metadata stored in a `CompiledFunction`
instead of having a separate map for each item that can be stored.
The motivation for this is primarily to help out with future
module-linking-related PRs. What exactly "module level" is depends on
how we interpret modules and how many modules are in play, so it's a bit
easier for operations in wasmtime to work at the function level where
possible. This means that we don't have to pass around multiple
different maps and a function index, but instead just one map or just
one entry representing a compiled function.
Additionally this change updates where the parallelism of compilation
happens, pushing it into `wasmtime-jit` instead of `wasmtime-environ`.
This is another goal where `wasmtime-jit` will have more knowledge about
module-level pieces with module linking in play. User-facing-wise this
should be the same in terms of parallel compilation, though.
The ultimate goal of this refactoring is to make it easier for the
results of compilation to actually be a set of wasm modules. This means
we won't be able to have a map-per-metadata where the primary key is the
function index, because there will be many modules within one "object
file".
* Don't clear out fields, just don't store them
Persist a smaller set of fields in `CompilationArtifacts` instead of
trying to clear fields out and dynamically not accessing them.
* Don't re-parse wasm for debuginfo
This commit updates debuginfo parsing to happen during the main
translation of the original wasm module. This avoid re-parsing the wasm
module twice (at least the section-level headers). Additionally this
ties debuginfo directly to a `ModuleTranslation` which makes it easier
to process debuginfo for nested modules in the upcoming module linking
proposal.
The changes here are summarized by taking the `read_debuginfo` function
and merging it with the main module translation that happens which is
driven by cranelift. Some new hooks were added to the module environment
trait to support this, but most of it was integrating with existing hooks.
* Fix tests in debug crate
This lets us avoid the cost of `cranelift_codegen::ir::Opcode` to
`peepmatic_runtime::Operator` conversion overhead, and paves the way for
allowing Peepmatic to support non-clif optimizations (e.g. vcode optimizations).
Rather than defining our own `peepmatic::Operator` type like we used to, now the
whole `peepmatic` crate is effectively generic over a `TOperator` type
parameter. For the Cranelift integration, we use `cranelift_codegen::ir::Opcode`
as the concrete type for our `TOperator` type parameter. For testing, we also
define a `TestOperator` type, so that we can test Peepmatic code without
building all of Cranelift, and we can keep them somewhat isolated from each
other.
The methods that `peepmatic::Operator` had are now translated into trait bounds
on the `TOperator` type. These traits need to be shared between all of
`peepmatic`, `peepmatic-runtime`, and `cranelift-codegen`'s Peepmatic
integration. Therefore, these new traits live in a new crate:
`peepmatic-traits`. This crate acts as a header file of sorts for shared
trait/type/macro definitions.
Additionally, the `peepmatic-runtime` crate no longer depends on the
`peepmatic-macro` procedural macro crate, which should lead to faster build
times for Cranelift when it is using pre-built peephole optimizers.
This commit adds support for generating stackmaps at safepoints to the
new backend framework and to the AArch64 backend in particular. It has
been tested to work with SpiderMonkey.
* Switch CI back to nightly channel
I think all upstream issues are now fixed so we should be good to switch
back to nightly from our previously pinned version.
* Fix doc warnings
This commit is intended to update wasmparser to 0.59.0. This primarily
includes bytecodealliance/wasm-tools#40 which is a large update to how
parsing and validation works. The impact on Wasmtime is pretty small at
this time, but over time I'd like to refactor the internals here to lean
more heavily on that upstream wasmparser refactoring.
For now, though, the intention is to get on the train of wasmparser's
latest `main` branch to ensure we get bug fixes and such.
As part of this update a few other crates and such were updated. This is
primarily to handle the new encoding of `ref.is_null` where the type is
not part of the instruction encoding any more.
- Create the ELF image from Compilation
- Create CodeMemory from the ELF image
- Link using ELF image
- Remove creation of GDB JIT images from crates/debug
- Move make_trampoline from compiler.rs
When running in embedded environments, threads creation is sometimes
undesirable. This adds a feature to toggle wasmtime's internal thread
creation for parallel compilation.
This is something I meant to do a long time ago but forgot to get around
to it! This commit updates the top-level documentation of the `wasmtime`
crate to have examples, more words, and generall be a bit more
up-to-date and complete.
This somewhat cuts down on duplicate dependencies. `wast` is used in a much older version (`11.0.0`) by `witx`, and can be updated without issues there as well, but this at least gets us from 3 copies to 2.
These instructions have fast, inline JIT paths for the common cases, and only
call out to host VM functions for the slow paths. This required some changes to
`cranelift-wasm`'s `FuncEnvironment`: instead of taking a `FuncCursor` to insert
an instruction sequence within the current basic block,
`FuncEnvironment::translate_table_{get,set}` now take a `&mut FunctionBuilder`
so that they can create whole new basic blocks. This is necessary for
implementing GC read/write barriers that involve branching (e.g. checking for
null, or whether a store buffer is at capacity).
Furthermore, it required that the `load`, `load_complex`, and `store`
instructions handle loading and storing through an `r{32,64}` rather than just
`i{32,64}` addresses. This involved making `r{32,64}` types acceptable
instantiations of the `iAddr` type variable, plus a few new instruction
encodings.
Part of #929
For host VM code, we use plain reference counting, where cloning increments
the reference count, and dropping decrements it. We can avoid many of the
on-stack increment/decrement operations that typically plague the
performance of reference counting via Rust's ownership and borrowing system.
Moving a `VMExternRef` avoids mutating its reference count, and borrowing it
either avoids the reference count increment or delays it until if/when the
`VMExternRef` is cloned.
When passing a `VMExternRef` into compiled Wasm code, we don't want to do
reference count mutations for every compiled `local.{get,set}`, nor for
every function call. Therefore, we use a variation of **deferred reference
counting**, where we only mutate reference counts when storing
`VMExternRef`s somewhere that outlives the activation: into a global or
table. Simultaneously, we over-approximate the set of `VMExternRef`s that
are inside Wasm function activations. Periodically, we walk the stack at GC
safe points, and use stack map information to precisely identify the set of
`VMExternRef`s inside Wasm activations. Then we take the difference between
this precise set and our over-approximation, and decrement the reference
count for each of the `VMExternRef`s that are in our over-approximation but
not in the precise set. Finally, the over-approximation is replaced with the
precise set.
The `VMExternRefActivationsTable` implements the over-approximized set of
`VMExternRef`s referenced by Wasm activations. Calling a Wasm function and
passing it a `VMExternRef` moves the `VMExternRef` into the table, and the
compiled Wasm function logically "borrows" the `VMExternRef` from the
table. Similarly, `global.get` and `table.get` operations clone the gotten
`VMExternRef` into the `VMExternRefActivationsTable` and then "borrow" the
reference out of the table.
When a `VMExternRef` is returned to host code from a Wasm function, the host
increments the reference count (because the reference is logically
"borrowed" from the `VMExternRefActivationsTable` and the reference count
from the table will be dropped at the next GC).
