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!`.
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
* Manually rename BasicBlock to BlockPredecessor
BasicBlock is a pair of (Ebb, Inst) that is used to represent the
basic block subcomponent of an Ebb that is a predecessor to an Ebb.
Eventually we will be able to remove this struct, but for now it
makes sense to give it a non-conflicting name so that we can start
to transition Ebb to represent a basic block.
I have not updated any comments that refer to BasicBlock, as
eventually we will remove BlockPredecessor and replace with Block,
which is a basic block, so the comments will become correct.
* Manually rename SSABuilder block types to avoid conflict
SSABuilder has its own Block and BlockData types. These along with
associated identifier will cause conflicts in a later commit, so
they are renamed to be more verbose here.
* Automatically rename 'Ebb' to 'Block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'EBB' to 'block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'ebb' to 'block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'extended basic block' to 'basic block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'an basic block' to 'a basic block' in *.rs
* Manually update comment for `Block`
`Block`'s wikipedia article required an update.
* Automatically rename 'an `Block`' to 'a `Block`' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'extended_basic_block' to 'basic_block' in *.rs
* Automatically rename 'ebb' to 'block' in *.clif
* Manually rename clif constant that contains 'ebb' as substring to avoid conflict
* Automatically rename filecheck uses of 'EBB' to 'BB'
'regex: EBB' -> 'regex: BB'
'$EBB' -> '$BB'
* Automatically rename 'EBB' 'Ebb' to 'block' in *.clif
* Automatically rename 'an block' to 'a block' in *.clif
* Fix broken testcase when function name length increases
Test function names are limited to 16 characters. This causes
the new longer name to be truncated and fail a filecheck test. An
outdated comment was also fixed.
* All: Drop 'basic-blocks' feature
This makes it so that 'basic-blocks' cannot be disabled and we can
start assuming it everywhere.
* Tests: Replace non-bb filetests with bb version
* Tests: Adapt solver-fixedconflict filetests to use basic blocks
The result of the emitter is a vector of bytes holding machine code,
jump tables, and (in the future) other read-only data. Some clients,
notably Firefox's Wasm compiler, needs to separate the machine code
from the data in order to insert more code directly after the code
generated by Cranelift.
To make such separation possible, we record more information about the
emitted bytes: the sizes of each of the sections of code, jump tables,
and read-only data, as well as the locations within the code that
reference (PC-relatively) the jump tables and read-only data.
Also:
- make sure to apply diversions when determining offsets for code
relaxation.
- select the smallest encoding when selecting a relaxed branch
instruction.
This was previously using the following condition to decide that a block
hadn't been visited yet: either dest_offset is non-0 or the block isn't
the entry block. Unfortunately, this didn't work when the first block
would be non-empty but wouldn't generate code at all.
Since the original code would do at least one pass over the entire code,
the first pass that determines initial EBB offsets is done separately,
without considering branch relaxation. This ensures that all EBBs have
been visited and have correct initial offsets, and doesn't require a
special check to know whether an EBB has been visited or not.
