Introduce a new concept in the IR that allows a producer to create
dynamic vector types. An IR function can now contain global value(s)
that represent a dynamic scaling factor, for a given fixed-width
vector type. A dynamic type is then created by 'multiplying' the
corresponding global value with a fixed-width type. These new types
can be used just like the existing types and the type system has a
set of hard-coded dynamic types, such as I32X4XN, which the user
defined types map onto. The dynamic types are also used explicitly
to create dynamic stack slots, which have no set size like their
existing counterparts. New IR instructions are added to access these
new stack entities.
Currently, during codegen, the dynamic scaling factor has to be
lowered to a constant so the dynamic slots do eventually have a
compile-time known size, as do spill slots.
The current lowering for aarch64 just targets Neon, using a dynamic
scale of 1.

* Cranelift: make `ir::Type` a `u16`.
* Cranelift: pack ValueData back into 64 bits.
After extending `Type` to a `u16`, `ValueData` became 12 bytes rather
than 8. This packs it back down to 8 bytes (64 bits) by stealing two
bits from the `Type` for the enum discriminant (leaving 14 bits for the
type itself).
Performance comparison (3-way between original (`ty-u8`), 16-bit `Type`
(`ty-u16`), and this PR (`ty-packed`)):

So, when compiling SpiderMonkey.wasm, making `Type` 16 bits regresses
performance by 4.5% (5.683s -> 5.723s), while this PR gets 14 bits for a 1.0%
cost (5.683s -> 5.723s). That's still not great, and we can likely do better,
but it's a start.
* Fix test failure: entities to/from u32 via `{from,to}_bits`, not `{from,to}_u32`.
This PR fixes#4066: it modifies the Cranelift `build.rs` workflow to
invoke the ISLE DSL compiler on every compilation, rather than only
when the user specifies a special "rebuild ISLE" feature.
The main benefit of this change is that it vastly simplifies the mental
model required of developers, and removes a bunch of failure modes
we have tried to work around in other ways. There is now just one
"source of truth", the ISLE source itself, in the repository, and so there
is no need to understand a special "rebuild" step and how to handle
merge errors. There is no special process needed to develop the compiler
when modifying the DSL. And there is no "noise" in the git history produced
by constantly-regenerated files.
The two main downsides we discussed in #4066 are:
- Compile time could increase, by adding more to the "meta" step before the main build;
- It becomes less obvious where the source definitions are (everything becomes
more "magic"), which makes exploration and debugging harder.
This PR addresses each of these concerns:
1. To maintain reasonable compile time, it includes work to cut down the
dependencies of the `cranelift-isle` crate to *nothing* (only the Rust stdlib),
in the default build. It does this by putting the error-reporting bits
(`miette` crate) under an optional feature, and the logging (`log` crate) under
a feature-controlled macro, and manually writing an `Error` impl rather than
using `thiserror`. This completely avoids proc macros and the `syn` build slowness.
The user can still get nice errors out of `miette`: this is enabled by specifying
a Cargo feature `--features isle-errors`.
2. To allow the user to optionally inspect the generated source, which nominally
lives in a hard-to-find path inside `target/` now, this PR adds a feature `isle-in-source-tree`
that, as implied by the name, moves the target for ISLE generated source into
the source tree, at `cranelift/codegen/isle_generated_source/`. It seems reasonable
to do this when an explicit feature (opt-in) is specified because this is how ISLE regeneration
currently works as well. To prevent surprises, if the feature is *not* specified, the
build fails if this directory exists.
* x64: expand FloatCC enum in ISLE
* isle: regenerate manifests
* isle: generate all enum fields in `clif.isle`
This expands the `gen_isle` function to write all of the immediate
`enum`s out explicitly in `clif.isle`. Non-`enum` immediates are still
`extern primitive`.
* Only compile `enum_values` with `rebuild-isle` feature
* Only compile `gen_enum_isle` with `rebuild-isle` feature
* Fix some nightly dead code warnings
Looks like the "struct field not used" lint has improved on nightly and
caught a few more instances of fields that were never actually read.
* Fix windows
PR #3131 fixed the failing builds by allowing this field to be dead.
After looking at it further the field is not being used and can be
removedi completely.
One of the fields of `TargetIsa` isn't used in the
cranelift-codegen-meta crate, but instead of refactoring to try to
remove it this just adds `#[allow(dead_code)]` for now in the assumption
that when the old backends go away this will probably go away as well.
This commit adds the `wasmtime settings` command to print out available
Cranelift settings for a target (defaults to the host).
The compile command has been updated to remove the Cranelift ISA options in
favor of encouraging users to use `wasmtime settings` to discover what settings
are available. This will reduce the maintenance cost for syncing the compile
command with Cranelift ISA flags.
Certain operations (e.g. widening) will have operands with types like `NxM` but will return results with types like `(N*2)x(M/2)` (double the lane width, halve the number of lanes; maintain the same number of vector bits). This is equivalent to applying two `DerivedFunction`s to the type: `DerivedFunction::DoubleWidth` then `DerivedFunction::HalfVector`. Since there is no easy way to apply multiple `DerivedFunction`s (e.g. most of the logic is one-level deep, 1d5a678124/cranelift/codegen/meta/src/gen_inst.rs (L618-L621)), I added `DerivedFunction::MergeLanes` to do the necessary type conversion.

* 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.

'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.
Accessing Wasm reference globals that are reference types will
want to use the plain load/store instructions. This commit adds
encodings for these instructions to match loading a i32/i64.
Producers of IR are required to insert the appropriate barriers
around the loads/stores.
This patch adds a third mode for templates: REX inference is requestable
at template instantiation time. This reduces the number of recipes
by removing rex()/nonrex() redundancy for many instructions.
And replace it by constructors in OperandKind. There's a single optional
parameter function `set_doc` that remains, and didn't justify the whole
OperandKindBuilder concept to exist.
