650979ae40 Implement strings in adapter modules (#4623)
* Implement strings in adapter modules

This commit is a hefty addition to Wasmtime's support for the component
model. This implements the final remaining type (in the current type
hierarchy) unimplemented in adapter module trampolines: strings. Strings
are the most complicated type to implement in adapter trampolines
because they are highly structured chunks of data in memory (according
to specific encodings). Additionally each lift/lower operation can
choose its own encoding for strings meaning that Wasmtime, the host, may
have to convert between any pairwise ordering of string encodings.

The `CanonicalABI.md` in the component-model repo in general specifies
all the fiddly bits of string encoding so there's not a ton of wiggle
room for Wasmtime to get creative. This PR largely "just" implements
that. The high-level architecture of this implementation is:

* Fused adapters are first identified to determine src/dst string
  encodings. This statically fixes what transcoding operation is being
  performed.

* The generated adapter will be responsible for managing calls to
  `realloc` and performing bounds checks. The adapter itself does not
  perform memory copies or validation of string contents, however.
  Instead each transcoding operation is modeled as an imported function
  into the adapter module.  This means that the adapter module
  dynamically, during compile time, determines what string transcoders
  are needed. Note that an imported transcoder is not only parameterized
  over the transcoding operation but additionally which memory is the
  source and which is the destination.

* The imported core wasm functions are modeled as a new
  `CoreDef::Transcoder` structure. These transcoders end up being small
  Cranelift-compiled trampolines. The Cranelift-compiled trampoline will
  load the actual base pointer of memory and add it to the relative
  pointers passed as function arguments. This trampoline then calls a
  transcoder "libcall" which enters Rust-defined functions for actual
  transcoding operations.

* Each possible transcoding operation is implemented in Rust with a
  unique name and a unique signature depending on the needs of the
  transcoder. I've tried to document inline what each transcoder does.

This means that the `Module::translate_string` in adapter modules is by
far the largest translation method. The main reason for this is due to
the management around calling the imported transcoder functions in the
face of validating string pointer/lengths and performing the dance of
`realloc`-vs-transcode at the right time. I've tried to ensure that each
individual case in transcoding is documented well enough to understand
what's going on as well.

Additionally in this PR is a full implementation in the host for the
`latin1+utf16` encoding which means that both lifting and lowering host
strings now works with this encoding.

Currently the implementation of each transcoder function is likely far
from optimal. Where possible I've leaned on the standard library itself
and for latin1-related things I'm leaning on the `encoding_rs` crate. I
initially tried to implement everything with `encoding_rs` but was
unable to uniformly do so easily. For now I settled on trying to get a
known-correct (even in the face of endianness) implementation for all of
these transcoders. If an when performance becomes an issue it should be
possible to implement more optimized versions of each of these
transcoding operations.

Testing this commit has been somewhat difficult and my general plan,
like with the `(list T)` type, is to rely heavily on fuzzing to cover
the various cases here. In this PR though I've added a simple test that
pushes some statically known strings through all the pairs of encodings
between source and destination. I've attempted to pick "interesting"
strings that one way or another stress the various paths in each
transcoding operation to ideally get full branch coverage there.
Additionally a suite of "negative" tests have also been added to ensure
that validity of encoding is actually checked.

* Fix a temporarily commented out case

* Fix wasmtime-runtime tests

* Update deny.toml configuration

* Add `BSD-3-Clause` for the `encoding_rs` crate
* Remove some unused licenses

* Add an exemption for `encoding_rs` for now

* Split up the `translate_string` method

Move out all the closures and package up captured state into smaller
lists of arguments.

* Test out-of-bounds for zero-length strings

b4d7ab36f9 Add a dataflow-based representation of components (#4597)
* Add a dataflow-based representation of components

This commit updates the inlining phase of compiling a component to
creating a dataflow-based representation of a component instead of
creating a final `Component` with a linear list of initializers. This
dataflow graph is then linearized in a final step to create the actual
final `Component`.

The motivation for this commit stems primarily from my work implementing
strings in fused adapters. In doing this my plan is to defer most
low-level transcoding to the host itself rather than implementing that
in the core wasm adapter modules. This means that small
cranelift-generated trampolines will be used for adapter modules to call
which then call "transcoding libcalls". The cranelift-generated
trampolines will get raw pointers into linear memory and pass those to
the libcall which core wasm doesn't have access to when passing
arguments to an import.

Implementing this with the previous representation of a `Component` was
becoming too tricky to bear. The initialization of a transcoder needed
to happen at just the right time: before the adapter module which needed
it was instantiated but after the linear memories referenced had been
extracted into the `VMComponentContext`. The difficulty here is further
compounded by the current adapter module injection pass already being
quite complicated. Adapter modules are already renumbering the index
space of runtime instances and shuffling items around in the
`GlobalInitializer` list. Perhaps the worst part of this was that
memories could already be referenced by host function imports or exports
to the host, and if adapters referenced the same memory it shouldn't be
referenced twice in the component. This meant that `ExtractMemory`
initializers ideally needed to be shuffled around in the initializer
list to happen as early as possible instead of wherever they happened to
show up during translation.

Overall I did my best to implement the transcoders but everything always
came up short. I have decided to throw my hands up in the air and try a
completely different approach to this, namely the dataflow-based
representation in this commit. This makes it much easier to edit the
component after initial translation for injection of adapters, injection
of transcoders, adding dependencies on possibly-already-existing items,
etc. The adapter module partitioning pass in this commit was greatly
simplified to something which I believe is functionally equivalent but
is probably an order of magnitude easier to understand.

The biggest downside of this representation I believe is having a
duplicate representation of a component. The `component::info` was
largely duplicated into the `component::dfg` module in this commit.
Personally though I think this is a more appropriate tradeoff than
before because it's very easy to reason about "convert representation A
to B" code whereas it was very difficult to reason about shuffling
around `GlobalInitializer` items in optimal fashions. This may also have
a cost at compile-time in terms of shuffling data around, but my hope is
that we have lots of other low-hanging fruit to optimize if it ever
comes to that which allows keeping this easier-to-understand
representation.

Finally, to reiterate, the final representation of components is not
changed by this PR. To the runtime internals everything is still the
same.

97894bc65e Add initial support for fused adapter trampolines (#4501)
* Add initial support for fused adapter trampolines

This commit lands a significant new piece of functionality to Wasmtime's
implementation of the component model in the form of the implementation
of fused adapter trampolines. Internally within a component core wasm
modules can communicate with each other by having their exports
`canon lift`'d to get `canon lower`'d into a different component. This
signifies that two components are communicating through a statically
known interface via the canonical ABI at this time. Previously Wasmtime
was able to identify that this communication was happening but it simply
panicked with `unimplemented!` upon seeing it. This commit is the
beginning of filling out this panic location with an actual
implementation.

The implementation route chosen here for fused adapters is to use a
WebAssembly module itself for the implementation. This means that, at
compile time of a component, Wasmtime is generating core WebAssembly
modules which then get recursively compiled within Wasmtime as well. The
choice to use WebAssembly itself as the implementation of fused adapters
stems from a few motivations:

* This does not represent a significant increase in the "trusted
  compiler base" of Wasmtime. Getting the Wasm -> CLIF translation
  correct once is hard enough much less for an entirely different IR to
  CLIF. By generating WebAssembly no new interactions with Cranelift are
  added which drastically reduces the possibilities for mistakes.

* Using WebAssembly means that component adapters are insulated from
  miscompilations and mistakes. If something goes wrong it's defined
  well within the WebAssembly specification how it goes wrong and what
  happens as a result. This means that the "blast zone" for a wrong
  adapter is the component instance but not the entire host itself.
  Accesses to linear memory are guaranteed to be in-bounds and otherwise
  handled via well-defined traps.

* A fully-finished fused adapter compiler is expected to be a
  significant and quite complex component of Wasmtime. Functionality
  along these lines is expected to be needed for Web-based polyfills of
  the component model and by using core WebAssembly it provides the
  opportunity to share code between Wasmtime and these polyfills for the
  component model.

* Finally the runtime implementation of managing WebAssembly modules is
  already implemented and quite easy to integrate with, so representing
  fused adapters with WebAssembly results in very little extra support
  necessary for the runtime implementation of instantiating and managing
  a component.

The compiler added in this commit is dubbed Wasmtime's Fused Adapter
Compiler of Trampolines (FACT) because who doesn't like deriving a name
from an acronym. Currently the trampoline compiler is limited in its
support for interface types and only supports a few primitives. I plan
on filing future PRs to flesh out the support here for all the variants
of `InterfaceType`. For now this PR is primarily focused on all of the
other infrastructure for the addition of a trampoline compiler.

With the choice to use core WebAssembly to implement fused adapters it
means that adapters need to be inserted into a module. Unfortunately
adapters cannot all go into a single WebAssembly module because adapters
themselves have dependencies which may be provided transitively through
instances that were instantiated with other adapters. This means that a
significant chunk of this PR (`adapt.rs`) is dedicated to determining
precisely which adapters go into precisely which adapter modules. This
partitioning process attempts to make large modules wherever it can to
cut down on core wasm instantiations but is likely not optimal as
it's just a simple heuristic today.

With all of this added together it's now possible to start writing
`*.wast` tests that internally have adapted modules communicating with
one another. A `fused.wast` test suite was added as part of this PR
which is the beginning of tests for the support of the fused adapter
compiler added in this PR. Currently this is primarily testing some
various topologies of adapters along with direct/indirect modes. This
will grow many more tests over time as more types are supported.

Overall I'm not 100% satisfied with the testing story of this PR. When a
test fails it's very difficult to debug since everything is written in
the text format of WebAssembly meaning there's no "conveniences" to
print out the state of the world when things go wrong and easily debug.
I think this will become even more apparent as more tests are written
for more types in subsequent PRs. At this time though I know of no
better alternative other than leaning pretty heavily on fuzz-testing to
ensure this is all exercised.

* Fix an unused field warning

* Fix tests in `wasmtime-runtime`

* Add some more tests for compiled trampolines

* Remap exports when injecting adapters

The exports of a component were accidentally left unmapped which meant
that they indexed the instance indexes pre-adapter module insertion.

* Fix typo

* Rebase conflicts

3ed6fae7b3 Add trampoline compilation support for lowered imports (#4206)
* Add trampoline compilation support for lowered imports

This commit adds support to the component model implementation for
compiling trampolines suitable for calling host imports. Currently this
is purely just the compilation side of things, modifying the
wasmtime-cranelift crate and additionally filling out a new
`VMComponentOffsets` type (similar to `VMOffsets`). The actual creation
of a `VMComponentContext` is still not performed and will be a
subsequent PR.

Internally though some tests are actually possible with this where we at
least assert that compilation of a component and creation of everything
in-memory doesn't panic or trip any assertions, so some tests are added
here for that as well.

* Fix some test errors

fcf6208750 Initial skeleton of some component model processing (#4005)
* Initial skeleton of some component model processing

This commit is the first of what will likely be many to implement the
component model proposal in Wasmtime. This will be structured as a
series of incremental commits, most of which haven't been written yet.
My hope is to make this incremental and over time to make this easier to
review and easier to test each step in isolation.

Here much of the skeleton of how components are going to work in
Wasmtime is sketched out. This is not a complete implementation of the
component model so it's not all that useful yet, but some things you can
do are:

* Process the type section into a representation amenable for working
  with in Wasmtime.
* Process the module section and register core wasm modules.
* Process the instance section for core wasm modules.
* Process core wasm module imports.
* Process core wasm instance aliasing.
* Ability to compile a component with core wasm embedded.
* Ability to instantiate a component with no imports.
* Ability to get functions from this component.

This is already starting to diverge from the previous module linking
representation where a `Component` will try to avoid unnecessary
metadata about the component and instead internally only have the bare
minimum necessary to instantiate the module. My hope is we can avoid
constructing most of the index spaces during instantiation only for it
to all ge thrown away. Additionally I'm predicting that we'll need to
see through processing where possible to know how to generate adapters
and where they are fused.

At this time you can't actually call a component's functions, and that's
the next PR that I would like to make.

* Add tests for the component model support

This commit uses the recently updated wasm-tools crates to add tests for
the component model added in the previous commit. This involved updating
the `wasmtime-wast` crate for component-model changes. Currently the
component support there is quite primitive, but enough to at least
instantiate components and verify the internals of Wasmtime are all
working correctly. Additionally some simple tests for the embedding API
have also been added.
