There has been some confusion over the meaning of the "sign-extend"
(`sext`) and "zero-extend" (`uext`) attributes on parameters and return
values in signatures. According to the three implemented backends, these
attributes indicate that a value narrower than a full register should
always be extended in the way specified. However, they are much more
useful if they mean "extend in this way if the ABI requires extending":
only the ABI backend knows whether or not a particular ABI (e.g., x64
SysV vs. x64 Baldrdash) requires extensions, while only the frontend
(CLIF generator) knows whether or not a value is signed, so the two have
to work in concert.
This is the result of some very helpful discussion in #2354 (thanks to
@uweigand for raising the issue and @bjorn3 for helping to reason about
it).
This change respects the extension attributes in the above way, rather
than unconditionally extending, to avoid potential performance
degradation as we introduce more extension attributes on signatures.
As part of a Wasm JIT update, SpiderMonkey is changing its internal
WebAssembly function ABI. The new ABI's frame format includes "caller
TLS" and "callee TLS" slots. The details of where these come from are
not important; from Cranelift's point of view, the only relevant
requirement is that we have two on-stack args that are always present
(offsetting other on-stack args), and that we define special argument
purposes so that we can supply values for these slots.
Note that this adds a *new* ABI (a variant of the Baldrdash ABI) because
we do not want to tightly couple the landing of this PR to the landing
of the changes in SpiderMonkey; it's better if both the old and new
behavior remain available in Cranelift, so SpiderMonkey can continue to
vendor Cranelift even if it does not land (or backs out) the ABI change.
Furthermore, note that this needs to be a Cranelift-level change (i.e.
cannot be done purely from the translator environment implementation)
because the special TLS arguments must always go on the stack, which
would not otherwise happen with the usual argument-placement logic; and
there is no primitive to push a value directly in CLIF code (the notion
of a stack frame is a lower-level concept).
Also add configuration to CI to fail doc generation if any links are
broken. Unfortunately we can't blanket deny all warnings in rustdoc
since some are unconditional warnings, but for now this is hopefully
good enough.
Closes#1947
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.
* Use `is_wasm_parameter` in translating wasm calls
Added in #1329 it's now possible for multiple parameters to be non-wasm
parameters, so the previous `param_types` method is no longer suitable
for acquiring all wasm-related parameters, rather then `FuncEnvironment`
must be consulted. This removes usage of `param_types()` as a method
from the wasm translation and instead adds a custom method inline for
filtering the parameters based on `is_wasm_parameter`.
* Apply feedback
* Run rustfmt
* Don't require `mut`
* Run rustfmt
* Correctly count the number of wasm parameters.
Following up on #1329, this further replaces `num_normal_params` with a function
which calls `is_wasm_parameter` to correctly count the number of wasm
parameters a function has.
* Move is_wasm_parameter's implementation into the trait.
* Bitcast vectors immediately before a return
* Bitcast vectors immediately before a block end
* Use helper function for bitcasting arguments
* Add FuncTranslationState::peekn_mut; allows mutating of peeked values
* Bitcast values in place, avoiding an allocation
Also, retrieves the correct EBB header types for bitcasting on Operator::End.
* Bitcast values of a function with no explicit Wasm return instruction
* Add Signature::return_types method
This eliminates some duplicate code and avoids extra `use`s of `Vec`.
* Add Signature::param_types method; only collect normal parameters in both this and Signature::return_types
* Move normal_args to Signature::num_normal_params method
This matches the organization of the other Signature::num_*_params methods.
* Bitcast values of Operator::Call and Operator::CallIndirect
* Add DataFlowGraph::ebb_param_types
* Bitcast values of Operator::Br and Operator::BrIf
* Bitcast values of Operator::BrTable
* Add x86 encodings for `bint` converting to `i8` and `i16`
* Introduce tests for many multi-value returns
* Support arbitrary numbers of return values
This commit implements support for returning an arbitrary number of return
values from a function. During legalization we transform multi-value signatures
to take a struct return ("sret") return pointer, instead of returning its values
in registers. Callers allocate the sret space in their stack frame and pass a
pointer to it into the caller, and once the caller returns to them, they load
the return values back out of the sret stack slot. The callee's return
operations are legalized to store the return values through the given sret
pointer.
* Keep track of old, pre-legalized signatures
When legalizing a call or return for its new legalized signature, we may need to
look at the old signature in order to figure out how to legalize the call or
return.
* Add test for multi-value returns and `call_indirect`
* Encode bool -> int x86 instructions in a loop
* Rename `Signature::uses_sret` to `Signature::uses_struct_return_param`
* Rename `p` to `param`
* Add a clarifiying comment in `num_registers_required`
* Rename `num_registers_required` to `num_return_registers_required`
* Re-add newline
* Handle already-assigned parameters in `num_return_registers_required`
* Document what some debug assertions are checking for
* Make "illegalizing" closure's control flow simpler
* Add unit tests and comments for our rounding-up-to-the-next-multiple-of-a-power-of-2 function
* Use `append_isnt_arg` instead of doing the same thing manually
* Fix grammar in comment
* Add `Signature::uses_special_{param,return}` helper functions
* Inline the definition of `legalize_type_for_sret_load` for readability
* Move sret legalization debug assertions out into their own function
* Add `round_up_to_multiple_of_type_align` helper for readability
* Add a debug assertion that we aren't removing the wrong return value
* Rename `RetPtr` stack slots to `StructReturnSlot`
* Make `legalize_type_for_sret_store` more symmetrical to `legalized_type_for_sret`
* rustfmt
* Remove unnecessary loop labels
* Do not pre-assign offsets to struct return stack slots
Instead, let the existing frame layout algorithm decide where they should go.
* Expand "sret" into explicit "struct return" in doc comment
* typo: "than" -> "then" in comment
* Fold test's debug message into the assertion itself
