This commit is a slight refactoring of the `Module` trait and backend in
`cranelift-object`. The goal is to enable parallelization of compilation
when using `cranelift-object`. Currently this is difficult because
`ObjectModule::define_function` requires `&mut self`. This instead
soups up the `define_function_bytes` interface to handle relocations so
compilation can happen externally before defining it in a `Module`. This
also means that `define_function` is now a convenience wrapper around
`define_function_bytes`.

Closes#1914
Previously, every call was lowered on AArch64 to a `call` instruction, which
takes a signed 26-bit PC-relative offset. Including the 2-bit left shift, this
gives a range of +/- 128 MB. Longer-distance offsets would cause an impossible
relocation record to be emitted (or rather, a record that a more sophisticated
linker would fix up by inserting a shim/veneer).
This commit adds a notion of "relocation distance" in the MachInst backends,
and provides this information for every call target and symbol reference. The
intent is that backends on architectures like AArch64, where there are different
offset sizes / addressing strategies to choose from, can either emit a regular
call or a load-64-bit-constant / call-indirect sequence, as necessary. This
avoids the need to implement complex linking behavior.
The MachInst driver code provides this information based on the "colocated" bit
in the CLIF symbol references, which appears to have been designed for this
purpose, or at least a similar one. Combined with the `use_colocated_libcalls`
setting, this allows client code to ensure that library calls can link to
library code at any location in the address space.
Separately, the `simplejit` example did not handle `Arm64Call`; rather than doing
so, it appears all that is necessary to get its tests to pass is to set the
`use_colocated_libcalls` flag to false, to make use of the above change. This
fixes the `libcall_function` unit-test in this crate.
* Add AArch64 tests to CI
This commit enhances our CI with an AArch64 builder. Currently we have
no physical hardware to run on so for now we run all tests in an
emulator. The AArch64 build is cross-compiled from x86_64 from Linux.
Tests all happen in release mode with a recent version of QEMU (recent
version because it's so much faster, and in release mode because debug
mode tests take quite a long time in an emulator).
The goal here was not to get all tests passing on CI, but rather to get
AArch64 running on CI and get it green at the same time. To achieve that
goal many tests are now ignored on aarch64 platforms. Many tests fail
due to unimplemented functionality in the aarch64 backend (#1521), and
all wasmtime tests involving compilation are also disabled due to
panicking attempting to generate generate instruction offset information
for trap symbolication (#1523).
Despite this, though, all Cranelift tests and other wasmtime tests
should be runnin on AArch64 through QEMU with this PR. Additionally
we'll have an AArch64 binary release of Wasmtime for Linux, although it
won't be too useful just yet since it will panic on almost all wasm
modules.
* Review comments
* Wasmtime 0.15.0 and Cranelift 0.62.0. (#1398)
* Bump more ad-hoc versions.
* Add build.rs to wasi-common's Cargo.toml.
* Update the env var name in more places.
* Remove a redundant echo.
Experience with the `define_function` API has shown that returning
borrowed slices of `TrapSite` is not ideal: the returned slice
represents a borrow on the entire `Module`, which makes calling back
into methods taking `&mut self` a bit tricky.
To eliminate the problem, let's require the callers of `define_function`
to provide `TrapSink` instances. This style of API enables them to
control when and how traps are collected, and makes the `object` and
`faerie` backends simpler/more efficient by not having to worry about
trap collection.
This patch updates or removes all references to the Cranelift repository. It affects links in README documents, issues that were transferred to the Wasmtime repository, CI badges, and a small bunch of sundry items.
Update the documentation for the merger, and also for various changes in
Cranelift. Remove some old obsolete documentation, and convert the remaining
Sphinx files to Markdown. Some of the remaining content is still out of
date, but this is a step forward.
The current interface of `cranelift-module` requires consumers who want
to be informed about traps to discover that information through
`Module::Product`, which is backend-specific. Since it's advantageous
to manipulate this information in a backend-agnostic way, this patch
changes `Module::define_function{,_bytes}` to return information about
the traps contained in the function being defined.
