This PR propagates "value labels" all the way from CLIF to DWARF
metadata on the emitted machine code. The key idea is as follows:
- Translate value-label metadata on the input into "value_label"
pseudo-instructions when lowering into VCode. These
pseudo-instructions take a register as input, denote a value label,
and semantically are like a "move into value label" -- i.e., they
update the current value (as seen by debugging tools) of the given
local. These pseudo-instructions emit no machine code.
- Perform a dataflow analysis *at the machine-code level*, tracking
value-labels that propagate into registers and into [SP+constant]
stack storage. This is a forward dataflow fixpoint analysis where each
storage location can contain a *set* of value labels, and each value
label can reside in a *set* of storage locations. (Meet function is
pairwise intersection by storage location.)
This analysis traces value labels symbolically through loads and
stores and reg-to-reg moves, so it will naturally handle spills and
reloads without knowing anything special about them.
- When this analysis converges, we have, at each machine-code offset, a
mapping from value labels to some number of storage locations; for
each offset for each label, we choose the best location (prefer
registers). Note that we can choose any location, as the symbolic
dataflow analysis is sound and guarantees that the value at the
value_label instruction propagates to all of the named locations.
- Then we can convert this mapping into a format that the DWARF
generation code (wasmtime's debug crate) can use.
This PR also adds the new-backend variant to the gdb tests on CI.
A new associated type Info is added to MachInstEmit, which is the
immutable counterpart to State. It can't easily be constructed from an
ABICallee, since it would require adding an associated type to the
latter, and making so leaks the associated type in a lot of places in
the code base and makes the code harder to read. Instead, the EmitInfo
state can simply be passed to the `Vcode::emit` function directly.
This PR updates the AArch64 ABI implementation so that it (i) properly
respects that v8-v15 inclusive have callee-save lower halves, and
caller-save upper halves, by conservatively approximating (to full
registers) in the appropriate directions when generating prologue
caller-saves and when informing the regalloc of clobbered regs across
callsites.
In order to prevent saving all of these vector registers in the prologue
of every non-leaf function due to the above approximation, this also
makes use of a new regalloc.rs feature to exclude call instructions'
writes from the clobber set returned by register allocation. This is
safe whenever the caller and callee have the same ABI (because anything
the callee could clobber, the caller is allowed to clobber as well
without saving it in the prologue).
Fixes#2254.
Previously, in #2128, we factored out a common "vanilla 64-bit ABI"
implementation from the AArch64 ABI code, with the idea that this should
be largely compatible with x64. This PR alters the new x64 backend to
make use of the shared infrastructure, removing the duplication that
existed previously. The generated code is nearly (not exactly) the same;
the only difference relates to how the clobber-save region is padded in
the prologue.
This also changes some register allocations in the aarch64 code because
call support in the shared ABI infra now passes a temp vreg in, rather
than requiring use of a fixed, non-allocable temp; tests have been
updated, and the runtime behavior is unchanged.
- Properly mask constant values down to appropriate width when
generating a constant value directly in aarch64 backend. This was a
miscompilation introduced in the new-isel refactor. In combination
with failure to respect NarrowValueMode, this resulted in a very
subtle bug when an `i32` constant was used in bit-twiddling logic.
- Add support for `iadd_ifcout` in aarch64 backend as used in explicit
heap-check mode. With this change, we no longer fail heap-related
tests with the huge-heap-region mode disabled.
- Remove a panic that was occurring in some tests that are currently
ignored on aarch64, by simply returning empty/default information in
`value_label` functionality rather than touching unimplemented APIs.
This is not a bugfix per-se, but removes confusing panic messages from
`cargo test` output that might otherwise mislead.
This patch includes:
- A complete rework of the way that CLIF blocks and edge blocks are
lowered into VCode blocks. The new mechanism in `BlockLoweringOrder`
computes RPO over the CFG, but with a twist: it merges edge blocks intto
heads or tails of original CLIF blocks wherever possible, and it does
this without ever actually materializing the full nodes-plus-edges
graph first. The backend driver lowers blocks in final order so
there's no need to reshuffle later.
- A new `MachBuffer` that replaces the `MachSection`. This is a special
version of a code-sink that is far more than a humble `Vec<u8>`. In
particular, it keeps a record of label definitions and label uses,
with a machine-pluggable `LabelUse` trait that defines various types
of fixups (basically internal relocations).
Importantly, it implements some simple peephole-style branch rewrites
*inline in the emission pass*, without any separate traversals over
the code to use fallthroughs, swap taken/not-taken arms, etc. It
tracks branches at the tail of the buffer and can (i) remove blocks
that are just unconditional branches (by redirecting the label), (ii)
understand a conditional/unconditional pair and swap the conditional
polarity when it's helpful; and (iii) remove branches that branch to
the fallthrough PC.
The `MachBuffer` also implements branch-island support. On
architectures like AArch64, this is needed to allow conditional
branches within plausibly-attainable ranges (+/- 1MB on AArch64
specifically). It also does this inline while streaming through the
emission, without any sort of fixpoint algorithm or later moving of
code, by simply tracking outstanding references and "deadlines" and
emitting an island just-in-time when we're in danger of going out of
range.
- A rework of the instruction selector driver. This is largely following
the same algorithm as before, but is cleaned up significantly, in
particular in the API: the machine backend can ask for an input arg
and get any of three forms (constant, register, producing
instruction), indicating it needs the register or can merge the
constant or producing instruction as appropriate. This new driver
takes special care to emit constants right at use-sites (and at phi
inputs), minimizing their live-ranges, and also special-cases the
"pinned register" to avoid superfluous moves.
Overall, on `bz2.wasm`, the results are:
wasmtime full run (compile + runtime) of bz2:
baseline: 9774M insns, 9742M cycles, 3.918s
w/ changes: 7012M insns, 6888M cycles, 2.958s (24.5% faster, 28.3% fewer insns)
clif-util wasm compile bz2:
baseline: 2633M insns, 3278M cycles, 1.034s
w/ changes: 2366M insns, 2920M cycles, 0.923s (10.7% faster, 10.1% fewer insns)
All numbers are averages of two runs on an Ampere eMAG.
compilation.
This saves ~0.14% instruction count, ~0.18% allocated bytes, and ~1.5%
allocated blocks on a `clif-util wasm` compilation of `bz2.wasm` for
aarch64.
This splits off lower.rs into two files: lower.rs keeps all the utility
functions, while lower_inst.rs contains the (gigantic!) function
lowering a single Cranelift instruction into vcode.
This is done to satisfy a check done on the maximal file's size when
vendoring Rust source code into Mozilla central's repository.
- Undo temporary changes to default features (`all-arch`) and a
signal-handler test.
- Remove `SIGTRAP` handler: no longer needed now that we've found an
"undefined opcode" option on ARM64.
- Rename pp.rs to pretty_print.rs in machinst/.
- Only use empty stack-probe on non-x86. As per a comment in
rust-lang/compiler-builtins [1], LLVM only supports stack probes on
x86 and x86-64. Thus, on any other CPU architecture, we cannot refer
to `__rust_probestack`, because it does not exist.
- Rename arm64 to aarch64.
- Use `target` directive in vcode filetests.
- Run the flags verifier, but without encinfo, when using new backends.
- Clean up warning overrides.
- Fix up use of casts: use u32::from(x) and siblings when possible,
u32::try_from(x).unwrap() when not, to avoid silent truncation.
- Take immutable `Function` borrows as input; we don't actually
mutate the input IR.
- Lots of other miscellaneous cleanups.
