Addresses #3809: when we are asked to create a Cranelift backend with
shared flags that indicate support for SIMD, we should check that the
ISA level needed for our SIMD lowerings is present.
Revert the part of 47490b4383 which
changed cranelift-native to use rsix. It's just one call, and this lets
Cranelift users that don't otherwise depend on rsix to avoid it.
* Use rsix to make system calls in Wasmtime.
`rsix` is a system call wrapper crate that we use in `wasi-common`,
which can provide the following advantages in the rest of Wasmtime:
- It eliminates some `unsafe` blocks in Wasmtime's code. There's
still an `unsafe` block in the library, but this way, the `unsafe`
is factored out and clearly scoped.
- And, it makes error handling more consistent, factoring out code for
checking return values and `io::Error::last_os_error()`, and code that
does `errno::set_errno(0)`.
This doesn't cover *all* system calls; `rsix` doesn't implement
signal-handling APIs, and this doesn't cover calls made through `std` or
crates like `userfaultfd`, `rand`, and `region`.
* Add support for processor features (including auto-detection).
* Move base architecture set requirement back to z14.
* Add z15 feature sets and re-enable z15-specific code generation
when required features are available.
When shuffling values from two different registers, the x64 lowering for
`i8x16.shuffle` must first shuffle each register separately and then OR
the results with SSE instructions. With `VPERMI2B`, available in
AVX512VL + AVX512VBMI, this can be done in a single instruction after
the shuffle mask has been moved into the destination register. This
change uses `VPERMI2B` for that case when the CPU supports it.
When AVX512VL or AVX512BITALG are available, Wasm SIMD's `popcnt`
instruction can be lowered to a single x64 instruction, `VPOPCNTB`,
instead of 8+ instructions.
- some tests don't pass because of bad interactions with the system's
libunwind; ignore them for now.
- the page size on mac aarch64 is 16K, not 4K; tweak some tests which
were expecting 4K or multiples of 4K pages to use a multiple of host page size
instead.
- a cranelift-native test needed an update for the new calling convention.
This commit enables Cranelift's AArch64 backend to generate code
for instruction set extensions (previously only the base Armv8-A
architecture was supported); also, it makes it possible to detect
the extensions supported by the host when JIT compiling. The new
functionality is applied to the IR instruction `AtomicCas`.

With `Module::{serialize,deserialize}` it should be possible to share
wasmtime modules across machines or CPUs. Serialization, however, embeds
a hash of all configuration values, including cranelift compilation
settings. By default wasmtime's selection of the native ISA would enable
ISA flags according to CPU features available on the host, but the same
CPU features may not be available across two machines.
This commit adds a `Config::cranelift_clear_cpu_flags` method which
allows clearing the target-specific ISA flags that are automatically
inferred by default for the native CPU. Options can then be
incrementally built back up as-desired with teh `cranelift_other_flag`
method.
