`ptr::cast` has the advantage of being unable to silently cast
`*const T` to `*mut T`. This turned up several places that were
performing such casts, which this PR also fixes.
This PR introduces a new way of performing cooperative timeslicing that
is intended to replace the "fuel" mechanism. The tradeoff is that this
mechanism interrupts with less precision: not at deterministic points
where fuel runs out, but rather when the Engine enters a new epoch. The
generated code instrumentation is substantially faster, however, because
it does not need to do as much work as when tracking fuel; it only loads
the global "epoch counter" and does a compare-and-branch at backedges
and function prologues.
This change has been measured as ~twice as fast as fuel-based
timeslicing for some workloads, especially control-flow-intensive
workloads such as the SpiderMonkey JS interpreter on Wasm/WASI.
The intended interface is that the embedder of the `Engine` performs an
`engine.increment_epoch()` call periodically, e.g. once per millisecond.
An async invocation of a Wasm guest on a `Store` can specify a number of
epoch-ticks that are allowed before an async yield back to the
executor's event loop. (The initial amount and automatic "refills" are
configured on the `Store`, just as for fuel.) This call does only
signal-safe work (it increments an `AtomicU64`) so could be invoked from
a periodic signal, or from a thread that wakes up once per period.
* allow the ResourceLimiter to reject a memory grow before the
memory's own maximum.
* add a hook so a ResourceLimiter can detect any reason that
a memory grow fails, including if the OS denies additional memory
* add tests for this new functionality. I only took the time to
test the OS denial on Linux, it should be possible on Mac OS
as well but I don't have a test setup. I have no idea how to
do this on windows.
* Reduce indentation in `to_paged`
Use a few early-returns from `match` to avoid lots of extra indentation.
* Move wasm data sections out of `wasmtime_environ::Module`
This is the first step down the road of #3230. The long-term goal is
that `Module` is always `bincode`-decoded, but wasm data segments are a
possibly very-large portion of this residing in modules which we don't
want to shove through bincode. This refactors the internals of wasmtime
to be ok with this data living separately from the `Module` itself,
providing access at necessary locations.
Wasm data segments are now extracted from a wasm module and
concatenated directly. Data sections then describe ranges within this
concatenated list of data, and passive data works the same way. This
implementation does not lend itself to eventually optimizing the case
where passive data is dropped and no longer needed. That's left for a
future PR.
* Fix determinism of compiled modules
Currently wasmtime's compilation artifacts are not deterministic due to
the usage of `HashMap` during serialization which has randomized order
of its elements. This commit fixes that by switching to a sorted
`BTreeMap` for various maps. A test is also added to ensure determinism.
If in the future the performance of `BTreeMap` is not as good as
`HashMap` for some of these cases we can implement a fancier
`serialize_with`-style solution where we sort keys during serialization,
but only during serialization and otherwise use a `HashMap`.
* fix lightbeam
* Move `CompiledFunction` into wasmtime-cranelift
This commit moves the `wasmtime_environ::CompiledFunction` type into the
`wasmtime-cranelift` crate. This type has lots of Cranelift-specific
pieces of compilation and doesn't need to be generated by all Wasmtime
compilers. This replaces the usage in the `Compiler` trait with a
`Box<Any>` type that each compiler can select. Each compiler must still
produce a `FunctionInfo`, however, which is shared information we'll
deserialize for each module.
The `wasmtime-debug` crate is also folded into the `wasmtime-cranelift`
crate as a result of this commit. One possibility was to move the
`CompiledFunction` commit into its own crate and have `wasmtime-debug`
depend on that, but since `wasmtime-debug` is Cranelift-specific at this
time it didn't seem like it was too too necessary to keep it separate.
If `wasmtime-debug` supports other backends in the future we can
recreate a new crate, perhaps with it refactored to not depend on
Cranelift.
* Move wasmtime_environ::reference_type
This now belongs in wasmtime-cranelift and nowhere else
* Remove `Type` reexport in wasmtime-environ
One less dependency on `cranelift-codegen`!
* Remove `types` reexport from `wasmtime-environ`
Less cranelift!
* Remove `SourceLoc` from wasmtime-environ
Change the `srcloc`, `start_srcloc`, and `end_srcloc` fields to a custom
`FilePos` type instead of `ir::SourceLoc`. These are only used in a few
places so there's not much to lose from an extra abstraction for these
leaf use cases outside of cranelift.
* Remove wasmtime-environ's dep on cranelift's `StackMap`
This commit "clones" the `StackMap` data structure in to
`wasmtime-environ` to have an independent representation that that
chosen by Cranelift. This allows Wasmtime to decouple this runtime
dependency of stack map information and let the two evolve
independently, if necessary.
An alternative would be to refactor cranelift's implementation into a
separate crate and have wasmtime depend on that but it seemed a bit like
overkill to do so and easier to clone just a few lines for this.
* Define code offsets in wasmtime-environ with `u32`
Don't use Cranelift's `binemit::CodeOffset` alias to define this field
type since the `wasmtime-environ` crate will be losing the
`cranelift-codegen` dependency soon.
* Commit to using `cranelift-entity` in Wasmtime
This commit removes the reexport of `cranelift-entity` from the
`wasmtime-environ` crate and instead directly depends on the
`cranelift-entity` crate in all referencing crates. The original reason
for the reexport was to make cranelift version bumps easier since it's
less versions to change, but nowadays we have a script to do that.
Otherwise this encourages crates to use whatever they want from
`cranelift-entity` since we'll always depend on the whole crate.
It's expected that the `cranelift-entity` crate will continue to be a
lean crate in dependencies and suitable for use at both runtime and
compile time. Consequently there's no need to avoid its usage in
Wasmtime at runtime, since "remove Cranelift at compile time" is
primarily about the `cranelift-codegen` crate.
* Remove most uses of `cranelift-codegen` in `wasmtime-environ`
There's only one final use remaining, which is the reexport of
`TrapCode`, which will get handled later.
* Limit the glob-reexport of `cranelift_wasm`
This commit removes the glob reexport of `cranelift-wasm` from the
`wasmtime-environ` crate. This is intended to explicitly define what
we're reexporting and is a transitionary step to curtail the amount of
dependencies taken on `cranelift-wasm` throughout the codebase. For
example some functions used by debuginfo mapping are better imported
directly from the crate since they're Cranelift-specific. Note that
this is intended to be a temporary state affairs, soon this reexport
will be gone entirely.
Additionally this commit reduces imports from `cranelift_wasm` and also
primarily imports from `crate::wasm` within `wasmtime-environ` to get a
better sense of what's imported from where and what will need to be
shared.
* Extract types from cranelift-wasm to cranelift-wasm-types
This commit creates a new crate called `cranelift-wasm-types` and
extracts type definitions from the `cranelift-wasm` crate into this new
crate. The purpose of this crate is to be a shared definition of wasm
types that can be shared both by compilers (like Cranelift) as well as
wasm runtimes (e.g. Wasmtime). This new `cranelift-wasm-types` crate
doesn't depend on `cranelift-codegen` and is the final step in severing
the unconditional dependency from Wasmtime to `cranelift-codegen`.
The final refactoring in this commit is to then reexport this crate from
`wasmtime-environ`, delete the `cranelift-codegen` dependency, and then
update all `use` paths to point to these new types.
The main change of substance here is that the `TrapCode` enum is
mirrored from Cranelift into this `cranelift-wasm-types` crate. While
this unfortunately results in three definitions (one more which is
non-exhaustive in Wasmtime itself) it's hopefully not too onerous and
ideally something we can patch up in the future.
* Get lightbeam compiling
* Remove unnecessary dependency
* Fix compile with uffd
* Update publish script
* Fix more uffd tests
* Rename cranelift-wasm-types to wasmtime-types
This reflects the purpose a bit more where it's types specifically
intended for Wasmtime and its support.
* Fix publish script
This commit started off by deleting the `cranelift_codegen::settings`
reexport in the `wasmtime-environ` crate and then basically played
whack-a-mole until everything compiled again. The main result of this is
that the `wasmtime-*` family of crates have generally less of a
dependency on the `TargetIsa` trait and type from Cranelift. While the
dependency isn't entirely severed yet this is at least a significant
start.
This commit is intended to be largely refactorings, no functional
changes are intended here. The refactorings are:
* A `CompilerBuilder` trait has been added to `wasmtime_environ` which
server as an abstraction used to create compilers and configure them
in a uniform fashion. The `wasmtime::Config` type now uses this
instead of cranelift-specific settings. The `wasmtime-jit` crate
exports the ability to create a compiler builder from a
`CompilationStrategy`, which only works for Cranelift right now. In a
cranelift-less build of Wasmtime this is expected to return a trait
object that fails all requests to compile.
* The `Compiler` trait in the `wasmtime_environ` crate has been souped
up with a number of methods that Wasmtime and other crates needed.
* The `wasmtime-debug` crate is now moved entirely behind the
`wasmtime-cranelift` crate.
* The `wasmtime-cranelift` crate is now only depended on by the
`wasmtime-jit` crate.
* Wasm types in `cranelift-wasm` no longer contain their IR type,
instead they only contain the `WasmType`. This is required to get
everything to align correctly but will also be required in a future
refactoring where the types used by `cranelift-wasm` will be extracted
to a separate crate.
* I moved around a fair bit of code in `wasmtime-cranelift`.
* Some gdb-specific jit-specific code has moved from `wasmtime-debug` to
`wasmtime-jit`.
* Implement the memory64 proposal in Wasmtime
This commit implements the WebAssembly [memory64 proposal][proposal] in
both Wasmtime and Cranelift. In terms of work done Cranelift ended up
needing very little work here since most of it was already prepared for
64-bit memories at one point or another. Most of the work in Wasmtime is
largely refactoring, changing a bunch of `u32` values to something else.
A number of internal and public interfaces are changing as a result of
this commit, for example:
* Acessors on `wasmtime::Memory` that work with pages now all return
`u64` unconditionally rather than `u32`. This makes it possible to
accommodate 64-bit memories with this API, but we may also want to
consider `usize` here at some point since the host can't grow past
`usize`-limited pages anyway.
* The `wasmtime::Limits` structure is removed in favor of
minimum/maximum methods on table/memory types.
* Many libcall intrinsics called by jit code now unconditionally take
`u64` arguments instead of `u32`. Return values are `usize`, however,
since the return value, if successful, is always bounded by host
memory while arguments can come from any guest.
* The `heap_addr` clif instruction now takes a 64-bit offset argument
instead of a 32-bit one. It turns out that the legalization of
`heap_addr` already worked with 64-bit offsets, so this change was
fairly trivial to make.
* The runtime implementation of mmap-based linear memories has changed
to largely work in `usize` quantities in its API and in bytes instead
of pages. This simplifies various aspects and reflects that
mmap-memories are always bound by `usize` since that's what the host
is using to address things, and additionally most calculations care
about bytes rather than pages except for the very edge where we're
going to/from wasm.
Overall I've tried to minimize the amount of `as` casts as possible,
using checked `try_from` and checked arithemtic with either error
handling or explicit `unwrap()` calls to tell us about bugs in the
future. Most locations have relatively obvious things to do with various
implications on various hosts, and I think they should all be roughly of
the right shape but time will tell. I mostly relied on the compiler
complaining that various types weren't aligned to figure out
type-casting, and I manually audited some of the more obvious locations.
I suspect we have a number of hidden locations that will panic on 32-bit
hosts if 64-bit modules try to run there, but otherwise I think we
should be generally ok (famous last words). In any case I wouldn't want
to enable this by default naturally until we've fuzzed it for some time.
In terms of the actual underlying implementation, no one should expect
memory64 to be all that fast. Right now it's implemented with
"dynamic" heaps which have a few consequences:
* All memory accesses are bounds-checked. I'm not sure how aggressively
Cranelift tries to optimize out bounds checks, but I suspect not a ton
since we haven't stressed this much historically.
* Heaps are always precisely sized. This means that every call to
`memory.grow` will incur a `memcpy` of memory from the old heap to the
new. We probably want to at least look into `mremap` on Linux and
otherwise try to implement schemes where dynamic heaps have some
reserved pages to grow into to help amortize the cost of
`memory.grow`.
The memory64 spec test suite is scheduled to now run on CI, but as with
all the other spec test suites it's really not all that comprehensive.
I've tried adding more tests for basic things as I've had to implement
guards for them, but I wouldn't really consider the testing adequate
from just this PR itself. I did try to take care in one test to actually
allocate a 4gb+ heap and then avoid running that in the pooling
allocator or in emulation because otherwise that may fail or take
excessively long.

* Fix some tests
* More test fixes
* Fix wasmtime tests
* Fix doctests
* Revert to 32-bit immediate offsets in `heap_addr`
This commit updates the generation of addresses in wasm code to always
use 32-bit offsets for `heap_addr`, and if the calculated offset is
bigger than 32-bits we emit a manual add with an overflow check.
* Disable memory64 for spectest fuzzing
* Fix wrong offset being added to heap addr
* More comments!
* Clarify bytes/pages
* Change VMMemoryDefinition::current_length to `usize`
This commit changes the definition of
`VMMemoryDefinition::current_length` to `usize` from its previous
definition of `u32`. This is a pretty impactful change because it also
changes the cranelift semantics of "dynamic" heaps where the bound
global value specifier must now match the pointer type for the platform
rather than the index type for the heap.
The motivation for this change is that the `current_length` field (or
bound for the heap) is intended to reflect the current size of the heap.
This is bound by `usize` on the host platform rather than `u32` or`
u64`. The previous choice of `u32` couldn't represent a 4GB memory
because we couldn't put a number representing 4GB into the
`current_length` field. By using `usize`, which reflects the host's
memory allocation, this should better reflect the size of the heap and
allows Wasmtime to support a full 4GB heap for a wasm program (instead
of 4GB minus one page).
This commit also updates the legalization of the `heap_addr` clif
instruction to appropriately cast the address to the platform's pointer
type, handling bounds checks along the way. The practical impact for
today's targets is that a `uextend` is happening sooner than it happened
before, but otherwise there is no intended impact of this change. In the
future when 64-bit memories are supported there will likely need to be
fancier logic which handles offsets a bit differently (especially in the
case of a 64-bit memory on a 32-bit host).
The clif `filetest` changes should show the differences in codegen, and
the Wasmtime changes are largely removing casts here and there.
Closes#3022
* Add tests for memory.size at maximum memory size
* Add a dfg helper method
* Add a type parameter to `VMOffsets` for pointer size
This commit adds a type parameter to `VMOffsets` representing the
pointer size to improve computations in `wasmtime-runtime` which always
use a constant value of the host's pointer size. The type parameter is
`u8` for `wasmtime-cranelift`'s use case where cross-compilation may be
involved.
* fix lightbeam
* Start a high-level architecture document for Wasmtime
This commit cleands up some existing documentation by removing a number
of "noop README files" and starting a high-level overview of the
architecture of Wasmtime. I've placed this documentation under the
contributing section of the book since it seems most useful for possible
contributors.
I've surely left some things out in this pass, and am happy to add more!
* Review comments
* More rewording
* typos
This commit slims down the list of builtin intrinsics. It removes the
duplicated intrinsics for imported and locally defined items, instead
always using one intrinsic for both. This was previously inconsistently
applied where some intrinsics got two copies (one for imported one for
local) and other intrinsics got only one copy. This does add an extra
branch in intrinsics since they need to determine whether something is
local or not, but that's generally much lower cost than the intrinsics
themselves.
This also removes the `memory32_size` intrinsic, instead inlining the
codegen directly into the clif IR. This matches what the `table.size`
instruction does and removes the need for a few functions on a
`wasmtime_runtime::Instance`.
This commit removes some one-use methods to inline them at their use
site, and otherwise adds bounds checks to other functions like
`imported_function` where previously the `FuncIndex` may have been
accidentally out of bounds, which would cause memory unsafety. There's
no actual bug this was fixing, just trying to improve the safety of the
code internally a little.
The current_length member is defined as "usize" in Rust code,
but generated wasm code refers to it as if it were "u32".
While this happens to mostly work on little-endian machines
(as long as the length is < 4GB), it will always fail on
big-endian machines.
Fixed by making current_length "u32" in Rust as well, and
ensuring the actual memory size is always less than 4GB.
* Reimplement how instance exports are stored/loaded
This commit internally refactors how instance exports are handled and
fixes two issues. One issue is that when we instantiate an instance we
no longer forcibly load all items from the instance immediately,
deferring insertion of each item into the store data tables to happen
later as necessary. The next issue is that repeated calls to
`Caller::get_export` would continuously insert items into the store data
tables. While working as intended this was undesirable because it would
continuously push onto a vector that only got deallocated once the
entire store was deallocate. Now it's routed to `Instance::get_export`
which doesn't have this behavior.

Implement Wasmtime's new API as designed by RFC 11. This is quite a large commit which has had lots of discussion externally, so for more information it's best to read the RFC thread and the PR thread.
* Optimize `table.init` instruction and instantiation
This commit optimizes table initialization as part of instance
instantiation and also applies the same optimization to the `table.init`
instruction. One part of this commit is to remove some preexisting
duplication between instance instantiation and the `table.init`
instruction itself, after this the actual implementation of `table.init`
is optimized to effectively have fewer bounds checks in fewer places and
have a much tighter loop for instantiation.
A big fallout from this change is that memory/table initializer offsets
are now stored as `u32` instead of `usize` to remove a few casts in a
few places. This ended up requiring moving some overflow checks that
happened in parsing to later in code itself because otherwise the wrong
spec test errors are emitted during testing. I've tried to trace where
these can possibly overflow but I think that I managed to get
everything.
In a local synthetic test where an empty module with a single 80,000
element initializer this improves total instantiation time by 4x (562us
=> 141us)
* Review comments
* Add resource limiting to the Wasmtime API.
This commit adds a `ResourceLimiter` trait to the Wasmtime API.
When used in conjunction with `Store::new_with_limiter`, this can be used to
monitor and prevent WebAssembly code from growing linear memories and tables.
This is particularly useful when hosts need to take into account host resource
usage to determine if WebAssembly code can consume more resources.
A simple `StaticResourceLimiter` is also included with these changes that will
simply limit the size of linear memories or tables for all instances created in
the store based on static values.
* Code review feedback.
* Implemented `StoreLimits` and `StoreLimitsBuilder`.
* Moved `max_instances`, `max_memories`, `max_tables` out of `Config` and into
`StoreLimits`.
* Moved storage of the limiter in the runtime into `Memory` and `Table`.
* Made `InstanceAllocationRequest` use a reference to the limiter.
* Updated docs.
* Made `ResourceLimiterProxy` generic to remove a level of indirection.
* Fixed the limiter not being used for `wasmtime::Memory` and
`wasmtime::Table`.
* Code review feedback and bug fix.
* `Memory::new` now returns `Result<Self>` so that an error can be returned if
the initial requested memory exceeds any limits placed on the store.
* Changed an `Arc` to `Rc` as the `Arc` wasn't necessary.
* Removed `Store` from the `ResourceLimiter` callbacks. Custom resource limiter
implementations are free to capture any context they want, so no need to
unnecessarily store a weak reference to `Store` from the proxy type.
* Fixed a bug in the pooling instance allocator where an instance would be
leaked from the pool. Previously, this would only have happened if the OS was
unable to make the necessary linear memory available for the instance. With
these changes, however, the instance might not be created due to limits
placed on the store. We now properly deallocate the instance on error.
* Added more tests, including one that covers the fix mentioned above.
* Code review feedback.
* Add another memory to `test_pooling_allocator_initial_limits_exceeded` to
ensure a partially created instance is successfully deallocated.
* Update some doc comments for better documentation of `Store` and
`ResourceLimiter`.
This commit uses a two-phase lookup of stack map information from modules
rather than giving back raw pointers to stack maps.
First the runtime looks up information about a module from a pc value, which
returns an `Arc` it keeps a reference on while completing the stack map lookup.
Second it then queries the module information for the stack map from a pc
value, getting a reference to the stack map (which is now safe because of the
`Arc` held by the runtime).
This commit removes the stack map registry and instead uses the existing
information from the store's module registry to lookup stack maps.
A trait is now used to pass the lookup context to the runtime, implemented by
`Store` to do the lookup.
With this change, module registration in `Store` is now entirely limited to
inserting the module into the module registry.
Looking at some profiles these or their related functions were all
showing up, so this commit adds `#[inline]` to allow cross-crate
inlining by default.
* More use of `anyhow`.
* Change `make_accessible` into `protect_linear_memory` to better demonstrate
what it is used for; this will make the uffd implementation make a little
more sense.
* Remove `create_memory_map` in favor of just creating the `Mmap` instances in
the pooling allocator. This also removes the need for `MAP_NORESERVE` in the
uffd implementation.
* Moar comments.
* Remove `BasePointerIterator` in favor of `impl Iterator`.
* The uffd implementation now only monitors linear memory pages and will only
receive faults on pages that could potentially be accessible and never on a
statically known guard page.
* Stop allocating memory or table pools if the maximum limit of the memory or
table is 0.
* Add `anyhow` dependency to `wasmtime-runtime`.
* Revert `get_data` back to `fn`.
* Remove `DataInitializer` and box the data in `Module` translation instead.
* Improve comments on `MemoryInitialization`.
* Remove `MemoryInitialization::OutOfBounds` in favor of proper bulk memory
semantics.
* Use segmented memory initialization except for when the uffd feature is
enabled on Linux.
* Validate modules with the allocator after translation.
* Updated various functions in the runtime to return `anyhow::Result`.
* Use a slice when copying pages instead of `ptr::copy_nonoverlapping`.
* Remove unnecessary casts in `OnDemandAllocator::deallocate`.
* Better document the `uffd` feature.
* Use WebAssembly page-sized pages in the paged initialization.
* Remove the stack pool from the uffd handler and simply protect just the guard
pages.
This commit implements the `uffd` feature which turns on support for utilizing
the `userfaultfd` system call on Linux for the pooling instance allocator.
By handling page faults in userland, we are able to detect guard page accesses
without having to constantly change memory page protections.
This should help reduce the number of syscalls as well as kernel lock
contentions when many threads are allocating and deallocating instances.
Additionally, the user fault handler can lazy initialize linear
memories of an instance (implementation to come).
This commit changes `Instance` such that memories can be stored statically,
with just a base pointer, size, maximum, and a callback to make memory
accessible.
Previously the memories were being stored as boxed trait objects, which would
require the pooling allocator to do some unpleasant things to avoid
allocations.
With this change, the pooling allocator can simply define a memory for the
instance without using a trait object.
This commit changes how memories and tables are stored in `Instance`.
Previously, the memories and tables were stored as a `BoxedSlice`. Storing it
this way requires an allocation to change the length of the memories and
tables, which is desirable for a pooling instance allocator that is reusing an
`Instance` structure for a new instantiation.
By storing it instead as `PrimaryMap`, the memories and tables can be resized
without any allocations (the capacity of these maps will always be the
configured limits of the pooling allocator).
This commit refactors module instantiation in the runtime to allow for
different instance allocation strategy implementations.
It adds an `InstanceAllocator` trait with the current implementation put behind
the `OnDemandInstanceAllocator` struct.
The Wasmtime API has been updated to allow a `Config` to have an instance
allocation strategy set which will determine how instances get allocated.
This change is in preparation for an alternative *pooling* instance allocator
that can reserve all needed host process address space in advance.
This commit also makes changes to the `wasmtime_environ` crate to represent
compiled modules in a way that reduces copying at instantiation time.
This commit updates the various tooling used by wasmtime which has new
updates to the module linking proposal. This is done primarily to sync
with WebAssembly/module-linking#26. The main change implemented here is
that wasmtime now supports creating instances from a set of values, nott
just from instantiating a module. Additionally subtyping handling of
modules with respect to imports is now properly handled by desugaring
two-level imports to imports of instances.
A number of small refactorings are included here as well, but most of
them are in accordance with the changes to `wasmparser` and the updated
binary format for module linking.
* Implement imported/exported modules/instances
This commit implements the final piece of the module linking proposal
which is to flesh out the support for importing/exporting instances and
modules. This ended up having a few changes:
* Two more `PrimaryMap` instances are now stored in an `Instance`. The value
for instances is `InstanceHandle` (pretty easy) and for modules it's
`Box<dyn Any>` (less easy).
* The custom host state for `InstanceHandle` for `wasmtime` is now
`Arc<TypeTables` to be able to fully reconstruct an instance's types
just from its instance.
* Type matching for imports now has been updated to take
instances/modules into account.
One of the main downsides of this implementation is that type matching
of imports is duplicated between wasmparser and wasmtime, leading to
posssible bugs especially in the subtelties of module linking. I'm not
sure how best to unify these two pieces of validation, however, and it
may be more trouble than it's worth.
cc #2094
* Update wat/wast/wasmparser
* Review comments
* Fix a bug in publish script to vendor the right witx
Currently there's two witx binaries in our repository given the two wasi
spec submodules, so this updates the publication script to vendor the
right one.
This commit is intended to do almost everything necessary for processing
the alias section of module linking. Most of this is internal
refactoring, the highlights being:
* Type contents are now stored separately from a `wasmtime_env::Module`.
Given that modules can freely alias types and have them used all over
the place, it seemed best to have one canonical location to type
storage which everywhere else points to (with indices). A new
`TypeTables` structure is produced during compilation which is shared
amongst all member modules in a wasm blob.
* Instantiation is heavily refactored to account for module linking. The
main gotcha here is that imports are now listed as "initializers". We
have a sort of pseudo-bytecode-interpreter which interprets the
initialization of a module. This is more complicated than just
matching imports at this point because in the module linking proposal
the module, alias, import, and instance sections may all be
interleaved. This means that imports aren't guaranteed to show up at
the beginning of the address space for modules/instances.
Otherwise most of the changes here largely fell out from these two
design points. Aliases are recorded as initializers in this scheme.
Copying around type information and/or just knowing type information
during compilation is also pretty easy since everything is just a
pointer into a `TypeTables` and we don't have to actually copy any types
themselves. Lots of various refactorings were necessary to accomodate
these changes.
Tests are hoped to cover a breadth of functionality here, but not
necessarily a depth. There's still one more piece of the module linking
proposal missing which is exporting instances/modules, which will come
in a future PR.
It's also worth nothing that there's one large TODO which isn't
implemented in this change that I plan on opening an issue for.
With module linking when a set of modules comes back from compilation
each modules has all the trampolines for the entire set of modules. This
is quite a lot of duplicate trampolines across module-linking modules.
We'll want to refactor this at some point to instead have only one set
of trampolines per set of module linking modules and have them shared
from there. I figured it was best to separate out this change, however,
since it's purely related to resource usage, and doesn't impact
non-module-linking modules at all.

This commit fixes an issue with reference-types-using-modules where they
panicked on instantiation if any element segments had an externref null
specified.
We've generally moved to a model where `InstanceHandle` doesn't hold
ownership of its internals, instead relying on the caller to manage
that. This removes an allocation on the `Func::wrap` path but otherwise
shouldn't have much impact.
This commit adds lots of plumbing to get the type section from the
module linking proposal plumbed all the way through to the `wasmtime`
crate and the `wasmtime-c-api` crate. This isn't all that useful right
now because Wasmtime doesn't support imported/exported
modules/instances, but this is all necessary groundwork to getting that
exported at some point. I've added some light tests but I suspect the
bulk of the testing will come in a future commit.
One major change in this commit is that `SignatureIndex` no longer
follows type type index space in a wasm module. Instead a new
`TypeIndex` type is used to track that. Function signatures, still
indexed by `SignatureIndex`, are then packed together tightly.
This commit refactors where trampolines and signature information is
stored within a `Store`, namely moving them from
`wasmtime_runtime::Instance` instead to `Store` itself. The goal here is
to remove an allocation inside of an `Instance` and make them a bit
cheaper to create. Additionally this should open up future possibilities
like not creating duplicate trampolines for signatures already in the
`Store` when using `Func::new`.
Similar to other data structures owned by the `Store` there's no need
for `Instance` to have a strong `Arc` reference, instead it's sufficient
for `Store` to have the owning reference.
This commit adds initial (gated) support for the multi-memory wasm
proposal. This was actually quite easy since almost all of wasmtime
already expected multi-memory to be implemented one day. The only real
substantive change is the `memory.copy` intrinsic changes, which now
accounts for the source/destination memories possibly being different.
Although the string description for `TableOutOfBounds` isn't quite
matching what this error case is, it's a bit more descriptive than
`HeapOutOfBounds` anyway.
This commit removes all import resolution handling from the
`wasmtime-jit` crate, instead moving the logic to the `wasmtime` crate.
Previously `wasmtime-jit` had a generic `Resolver` trait and would do
all the import type matching itself, but with the upcoming
module-linking implementation this is going to get much trickier.
The goal of this commit is to centralize all meaty "preparation" logic
for instantiation into one location, probably the `wasmtime` crate
itself. Instantiation will soon involve recursive instantiation and
management of alias definitions as well. Having everything in one
location, especially with access to `Store` so we can persist
instances for safety, will be quite convenient.
Additionally the `Resolver` trait isn't really necessary any more since
imports are, at the lowest level, provided as a list rather than a map
of some kind. More generic resolution functionality is provided via
`Linker` or user layers on top of `Instance::new` itself. This makes
matching up provided items to expected imports much easier as well.
Overall this is largely just moving code around, but most of the code
in the previous `resolve_imports` phase can be deleted since a lot of it
is handled by surrounding pieces of `wasmtime` as well.
This was added long ago at this point to assist with caching, but
caching has moved to a different level such that this wonky second level
of a `Module` isn't necessary. This commit removes the `ModuleLocal`
type to simplify accessors and generally make it easier to work with.
* wasmtime: Implement `global.{get,set}` for externref globals
We use libcalls to implement these -- unlike `table.{get,set}`, for which we
create inline JIT fast paths -- because no known toolchain actually uses
externref globals.

* wasmtime: Enable `{extern,func}ref` globals in the API
`funcref`s are implemented as `NonNull<VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc>`.
This should be more efficient than using a `VMExternRef` that points at a
`VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc` because it gets rid of an indirection, dynamic
allocation, and some reference counting.
Note that the null function reference is *NOT* a null pointer; it is a
`VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc` that has a null `func_ptr` member.
