* Update wasm-tools dependencies
This update brings in a number of features such as:
* The component model binary format and AST has been slightly adjusted
in a few locations. Names are dropped from parameters/results now in
the internal representation since they were not used anyway. At this
time the ability to bind a multi-return function has not been exposed.
* The `wasmparser` validator pass will now share allocations with prior
functions, providing what's probably a very minor speedup for Wasmtime
itself.
* The text format for many component-related tests now requires named
parameters.
* Some new relaxed-simd instructions are updated to be ignored.
I hope to have a follow-up to expose the multi-return ability to the
embedding API of components.
* Update audit information for new crates
* Leverage Cargo's workspace inheritance feature
This commit is an attempt to reduce the complexity of the Cargo
manifests in this repository with Cargo's workspace-inheritance feature
becoming stable in Rust 1.64.0. This feature allows specifying fields in
the root workspace `Cargo.toml` which are then reused throughout the
workspace. For example this PR shares definitions such as:
* All of the Wasmtime-family of crates now use `version.workspace =
true` to have a single location which defines the version number.
* All crates use `edition.workspace = true` to have one default edition
for the entire workspace.
* Common dependencies are listed in `[workspace.dependencies]` to avoid
typing the same version number in a lot of different places (e.g. the
`wasmparser = "0.89.0"` is now in just one spot.
Currently the workspace-inheritance feature doesn't allow having two
different versions to inherit, so all of the Cranelift-family of crates
still manually specify their version. The inter-crate dependencies,
however, are shared amongst the root workspace.
This feature can be seen as a method of "preprocessing" of sorts for
Cargo manifests. This will help us develop Wasmtime but shouldn't have
any actual impact on the published artifacts -- everything's dependency
lists are still the same.
* Fix wasi-crypto tests
We weren't using the "union" cargo feature for the smallvec crate, which
reduces the size of a SmallVec by one machine word. This feature
requires Rust 1.49 but we already require much newer versions.
When using Wasmtime to compile pulldown-cmark from Sightglass, this
saves a decent amount of memory allocations and writes. According to
`valgrind --tool=dhat`:
- 6.2MiB (3.69%) less memory allocated over the program's lifetime
- 0.5MiB (4.13%) less memory allocated at maximum heap size
- 5.5MiB (1.88%) fewer bytes written to
- 0.44% fewer instructions executed
Sightglass reports a statistically significant runtime improvement too:

This commit replaces #4869 and represents the actual version bump that
should have happened had I remembered to bump the in-tree version of
Wasmtime to 1.0.0 prior to the branch-cut date. Alas!
* Upgrade wasm-tools crates, namely the component model
This commit pulls in the latest versions of all of the `wasm-tools`
family of crates. There were two major changes that happened in
`wasm-tools` in the meantime:
* bytecodealliance/wasm-tools#697 - this commit introduced a new API for
more efficiently reading binary operators from a wasm binary. The old
`Operator`-based reading was left in place, however, and continues to
be what Wasmtime uses. I hope to update Wasmtime in a future PR to use
this new API, but for now the biggest change is...
* bytecodealliance/wasm-tools#703 - this commit was a major update to
the component model AST. This commit almost entirely deals with the
fallout of this change.
The changes made to the component model were:
1. The `unit` type no longer exists. This was generally a simple change
where the `Unit` case in a few different locations were all removed.
2. The `expected` type was renamed to `result`. This similarly was
relatively lightweight and mostly just a renaming on the surface. I
took this opportunity to rename `val::Result` to `val::ResultVal` and
`types::Result` to `types::ResultType` to avoid clashing with the
standard library types. The `Option`-based types were handled with
this as well.
3. The payload type of `variant` and `result` types are now optional.
This affected many locations that calculate flat type
representations, ABI information, etc. The `#[derive(ComponentType)]`
macro now specifically handles Rust-defined `enum` types which have
no payload to the equivalent in the component model.
4. Functions can now return multiple parameters. This changed the
signature of invoking component functions because the return value is
now bound by `ComponentNamedList` (renamed from `ComponentParams`).
This had a large effect in the tests, fuzz test case generation, etc.
5. Function types with 2-or-more parameters/results must uniquely name
all parameters/results. This mostly affected the text format used
throughout the tests.
I haven't added specifically new tests for multi-return but I changed a
number of tests to use it. Additionally I've updated the fuzzers to all
exercise multi-return as well so I think we should get some good
coverage with that.
* Update version numbers
* Use crates.io
This is the implementation of https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/4155, using the "inverted API" approach suggested by @cfallin (thanks!) in Cranelift, and trait object to provide a backend for an all-included experience in Wasmtime.
After the suggestion of Chris, `Function` has been split into mostly two parts:
- on the one hand, `FunctionStencil` contains all the fields required during compilation, and that act as a compilation cache key: if two function stencils are the same, then the result of their compilation (`CompiledCodeBase<Stencil>`) will be the same. This makes caching trivial, as the only thing to cache is the `FunctionStencil`.
- on the other hand, `FunctionParameters` contain the... function parameters that are required to finalize the result of compilation into a `CompiledCode` (aka `CompiledCodeBase<Final>`) with proper final relocations etc., by applying fixups and so on.
Most changes are here to accomodate those requirements, in particular that `FunctionStencil` should be `Hash`able to be used as a key in the cache:
- most source locations are now relative to a base source location in the function, and as such they're encoded as `RelSourceLoc` in the `FunctionStencil`. This required changes so that there's no need to explicitly mark a `SourceLoc` as the base source location, it's automatically detected instead the first time a non-default `SourceLoc` is set.
- user-defined external names in the `FunctionStencil` (aka before this patch `ExternalName::User { namespace, index }`) are now references into an external table of `UserExternalNameRef -> UserExternalName`, present in the `FunctionParameters`, and must be explicitly declared using `Function::declare_imported_user_function`.
- some refactorings have been made for function names:
- `ExternalName` was used as the type for a `Function`'s name; while it thus allowed `ExternalName::Libcall` in this place, this would have been quite confusing to use it there. Instead, a new enum `UserFuncName` is introduced for this name, that's either a user-defined function name (the above `UserExternalName`) or a test case name.
- The future of `ExternalName` is likely to become a full reference into the `FunctionParameters`'s mapping, instead of being "either a handle for user-defined external names, or the thing itself for other variants". I'm running out of time to do this, and this is not trivial as it implies touching ISLE which I'm less familiar with.
The cache computes a sha256 hash of the `FunctionStencil`, and uses this as the cache key. No equality check (using `PartialEq`) is performed in addition to the hash being the same, as we hope that this is sufficient data to avoid collisions.
A basic fuzz target has been introduced that tries to do the bare minimum:
- check that a function successfully compiled and cached will be also successfully reloaded from the cache, and returns the exact same function.
- check that a trivial modification in the external mapping of `UserExternalNameRef -> UserExternalName` hits the cache, and that other modifications don't hit the cache.
- This last check is less efficient and less likely to happen, so probably should be rethought a bit.
Thanks to both @alexcrichton and @cfallin for your very useful feedback on Zulip.
Some numbers show that for a large wasm module we're using internally, this is a 20% compile-time speedup, because so many `FunctionStencil`s are the same, even within a single module. For a group of modules that have a lot of code in common, we get hit rates up to 70% when they're used together. When a single function changes in a wasm module, every other function is reloaded; that's still slower than I expect (between 10% and 50% of the overall compile time), so there's likely room for improvement.
Fixes#4155.
* Cranellift: remove Baldrdash support and related features.
As noted in Mozilla's bugzilla bug 1781425 [1], the SpiderMonkey team
has recently determined that their current form of integration with
Cranelift is too hard to maintain, and they have chosen to remove it
from their codebase. If and when they decide to build updated support
for Cranelift, they will adopt different approaches to several details
of the integration.
In the meantime, after discussion with the SpiderMonkey folks, they
agree that it makes sense to remove the bits of Cranelift that exist
to support the integration ("Baldrdash"), as they will not need
them. Many of these bits are difficult-to-maintain special cases that
are not actually tested in Cranelift proper: for example, the
Baldrdash integration required Cranelift to emit function bodies
without prologues/epilogues, and instead communicate very precise
information about the expected frame size and layout, then stitched
together something post-facto. This was brittle and caused a lot of
incidental complexity ("fallthrough returns", the resulting special
logic in block-ordering); this is just one example. As another
example, one particular Baldrdash ABI variant processed stack args in
reverse order, so our ABI code had to support both traversal
orders. We had a number of other Baldrdash-specific settings as well
that did various special things.
This PR removes Baldrdash ABI support, the `fallthrough_return`
instruction, and pulls some threads to remove now-unused bits as a
result of those two, with the understanding that the SpiderMonkey folks
will build new functionality as needed in the future and we can perhaps
find cleaner abstractions to make it all work.

* Review feedback.
* Fix (?) DWARF debug tests: add `--disable-cache` to wasmtime invocations.
The debugger tests invoke `wasmtime` from within each test case under
the control of a debugger (gdb or lldb). Some of these tests started to
inexplicably fail in CI with unrelated changes, and the failures were
only inconsistently reproducible locally. It seems to be cache related:
if we disable cached compilation on the nested `wasmtime` invocations,
the tests consistently pass.
* Review feedback.
For wasm programs using SIMD vector types, the type known at function
entry or exit may not match the type used within the body of the
function, so we have to bitcast them. We have to check all calls and
returns for this condition, which involves comparing a subset of a
function's signature with the CLIF types we're trying to use. Currently,
this check heap-allocates a short-lived Vec for the appropriate subset
of the signature.
But most of the time none of the values need a bitcast. So this patch
avoids allocating unless at least one bitcast is actually required, and
only saves the pointers to values that need fixing up. I leaned heavily
on iterators to keep space usage constant until we discover allocation
is necessary after all.
I don't think it's possible to eliminate the allocation entirely,
because the function signature we're examining is borrowed from the
FuncBuilder, but we need to mutably borrow the FuncBuilder to insert the
bitcast instructions. Fortunately, the FromIterator implementation for
Vec doesn't reserve any heap space if the iterator is empty, so we can
unconditionally collect into a Vec and still avoid unnecessary
allocations.
Since the relationship between a function signature and a list of CLIF
values is somewhat complicated, I refactored all the uses of
`bitcast_arguments` and `wasm_param_types`. Instead there's
`bitcast_wasm_params` and `bitcast_wasm_returns` which share a helper
that combines the previous pair of functions into one.
According to DHAT, when compiling the Sightglass Spidermonkey benchmark,
this avoids 52k allocations averaging about 9 bytes each, which are
freed on average within 2k instructions.
Most Sightglass benchmarks, including Spidermonkey, show no performance
difference with this change. Only one has a slowdown, and it's small:

and larger ones as follows:

This commit builds on bytecodealliance/wasm-tools#690 to add support to
testing of the component model to execute functions when running
`*.wast` files. This support is all built on #4442 as functions are
invoked through a "dynamic" API. Right now the testing and integration
is fairly crude but I'm hoping that we can try to improve it over time
as necessary. For now this should provide a hopefully more convenient
syntax for unit tests and the like.
* cranelift: Reorganize test suite
Group some SIMD operations by instruction.
* cranelift: Deduplicate some shift tests
Also, new tests with the mod behaviour
* aarch64: Lower shifts with mod behaviour
* x64: Lower shifts with mod behaviour
* wasmtime: Don't mask SIMD shifts
* Bump versions of wasm-tools crates
Note that this leaves new features in the component model, outer type
aliases for core wasm types, unimplemented for now.
* Move to crates.io-based versions of tools
This commit updates the wasm-tools family of crates, notably pulling in
the refactorings and updates from bytecodealliance/wasm-tools#621 for
the latest iteration of the component model. This commit additionally
updates all support for the component model for these changes, notably:
* Many bits and pieces of type information was refactored. Many
`FooTypeIndex` namings are now `TypeFooIndex`. Additionally there is
now `TypeIndex` as well as `ComponentTypeIndex` for the two type index
spaces in a component.
* A number of new sections are now processed to handle the core and
component variants.
* Internal maps were split such as the `funcs` map into
`component_funcs` and `funcs` (same for `instances`).
* Canonical options are now processed individually instead of one bulk
`into` definition.
Overall this was not a major update to the internals of handling the
component model in Wasmtime. Instead this was mostly a surface-level
refactoring to make sure that everything lines up with the new binary
format for components.
* All text syntax used in tests was updated to the new syntax.
This PR adds a basic *alias analysis*, and optimizations that use it.
This is a "mid-end optimization": it operates on CLIF, the
machine-independent IR, before lowering occurs.
The alias analysis (or maybe more properly, a sort of memory-value
analysis) determines when it can prove a particular memory
location is equal to a given SSA value, and when it can, it replaces any
loads of that location.
This subsumes two common optimizations:
* Redundant load elimination: when the same memory address is loaded two
times, and it can be proven that no intervening operations will write
to that memory, then the second load is *redundant* and its result
must be the same as the first. We can use the first load's result and
remove the second load.
* Store-to-load forwarding: when a load can be proven to access exactly
the memory written by a preceding store, we can replace the load's
result with the store's data operand, and remove the load.
Both of these optimizations rely on a "last store" analysis that is a
sort of coloring mechanism, split across disjoint categories of abstract
state. The basic idea is that every memory-accessing operation is put
into one of N disjoint categories; it is disallowed for memory to ever
be accessed by an op in one category and later accessed by an op in
another category. (The frontend must ensure this.)
Then, given this, we scan the code and determine, for each
memory-accessing op, when a single prior instruction is a store to the
same category. This "colors" the instruction: it is, in a sense, a
static name for that version of memory.
This analysis provides an important invariant: if two operations access
memory with the same last-store, then *no other store can alias* in the
time between that last store and these operations. This must-not-alias
property, together with a check that the accessed address is *exactly
the same* (same SSA value and offset), and other attributes of the
access (type, extension mode) are the same, let us prove that the
results are the same.
Given last-store info, we scan the instructions and build a table from
"memory location" key (last store, address, offset, type, extension) to
known SSA value stored in that location. A store inserts a new mapping.
A load may also insert a new mapping, if we didn't already have one.
Then when a load occurs and an entry already exists for its "location",
we can reuse the value. This will be either RLE or St-to-Ld depending on
where the value came from.
Note that this *does* work across basic blocks: the last-store analysis
is a full iterative dataflow pass, and we are careful to check dominance
of a previously-defined value before aliasing to it at a potentially
redundant load. So we will do the right thing if we only have a
"partially redundant" load (loaded already but only in one predecessor
block), but we will also correctly reuse a value if there is a store or
load above a loop and a redundant load of that value within the loop, as
long as no potentially-aliasing stores happen within the loop.
* Update the wasm-tools family of crates
This commit updates these crates as used by Wasmtime for the recently
published versions to pull in changes necessary to support the component
model. I've split this out from #4005 to make it clear what's impacted
here and #4005 can simply rebase on top of this to pick up the necessary
changes.
* More test fixes
* Run a `cargo update` over our dependencies
This'll notably fix a `cargo audit` error where we have a pinned version
of the `regex` crate which has a CVE assigned to it.
* Update to `object` and `hashbrown` crates
Prune some duplicate versions showing up from the previous `cargo update`
* Update wasm-tools crates
This commit updates the wasm-tools family of crates as used in Wasmtime.
Notably this brings in the update which removes module linking support
as well as a number of internal refactorings around names and such
within wasmparser itself. This updates all of the wasm translation
support which binds to wasmparser as appropriate.
Other crates all had API-compatible changes for at least what Wasmtime
used so no further changes were necessary beyond updating version
requirements.
* Update a test expectation
* Upgrade all crates to the Rust 2021 edition
I've personally started using the new format strings for things like
`panic!("some message {foo}")` or similar and have been upgrading crates
on a case-by-case basis, but I think it probably makes more sense to go
ahead and blanket upgrade everything so 2021 features are always
available.
* Fix compile of the C API
* Fix a warning
* Fix another warning
* Bump to 0.36.0
* Add a two-week delay to Wasmtime's release process
This commit is a proposal to update Wasmtime's release process with a
two-week delay from branching a release until it's actually officially
released. We've had two issues lately that came up which led to this proposal:
* In #3915 it was realized that changes just before the 0.35.0 release
weren't enough for an embedding use case, but the PR didn't meet the
expectations for a full patch release.
* At Fastly we were about to start rolling out a new version of Wasmtime
when over the weekend the fuzz bug #3951 was found. This led to the
desire internally to have a "must have been fuzzed for this long"
period of time for Wasmtime changes which we felt were better
reflected in the release process itself rather than something about
Fastly's own integration with Wasmtime.
This commit updates the automation for releases to unconditionally
create a `release-X.Y.Z` branch on the 5th of every month. The actual
release from this branch is then performed on the 20th of every month,
roughly two weeks later. This should provide a period of time to ensure
that all changes in a release are fuzzed for at least two weeks and
avoid any further surprises. This should also help with any last-minute
changes made just before a release if they need tweaking since
backporting to a not-yet-released branch is much easier.
Overall there are some new properties about Wasmtime with this proposal
as well:
* The `main` branch will always have a section in `RELEASES.md` which is
listed as "Unreleased" for us to fill out.
* The `main` branch will always be a version ahead of the latest
release. For example it will be bump pre-emptively as part of the
release process on the 5th where if `release-2.0.0` was created then
the `main` branch will have 3.0.0 Wasmtime.
* Dates for major versions are automatically updated in the
`RELEASES.md` notes.
The associated documentation for our release process is updated and the
various scripts should all be updated now as well with this commit.
* Add notes on a security patch
* Clarify security fixes shouldn't be previewed early on CI
* Remove the module linking implementation in Wasmtime
This commit removes the experimental implementation of the module
linking WebAssembly proposal from Wasmtime. The module linking is no
longer intended for core WebAssembly but is instead incorporated into
the component model now at this point. This means that very large parts
of Wasmtime's implementation of module linking are no longer applicable
and would change greatly with an implementation of the component model.
The main purpose of this is to remove Wasmtime's reliance on the support
for module-linking in `wasmparser` and tooling crates. With this
reliance removed we can move over to the `component-model` branch of
`wasmparser` and use the updated support for the component model.
Additionally given the trajectory of the component model proposal the
embedding API of Wasmtime will not look like what it looks like today
for WebAssembly. For example the core wasm `Instance` will not change
and instead a `Component` is likely to be added instead.
Some more rationale for this is in #3941, but the basic idea is that I
feel that it's not going to be viable to develop support for the
component model on a non-`main` branch of Wasmtime. Additionaly I don't
think it's viable, for the same reasons as `wasm-tools`, to support the
old module linking proposal and the new component model at the same
time.
This commit takes a moment to not only delete the existing module
linking implementation but some abstractions are also simplified. For
example module serialization is a bit simpler that there's only one
module. Additionally instantiation is much simpler since the only
initializer we have to deal with are imports and nothing else.
Closes#3941
* Fix doc link
* Update comments
* fuzzing: Add a custom mutator based on `wasm-mutate`
* fuzz: Add a version of the `compile` fuzz target that uses `wasm-mutate`
* Update `wasmparser` dependencies
During instance initialization, we build two sorts of arrays eagerly:
- We create an "anyfunc" (a `VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc`) for every function
in an instance.
- We initialize every element of a funcref table with an initializer to
a pointer to one of these anyfuncs.
Most instances will not touch (via call_indirect or table.get) all
funcref table elements. And most anyfuncs will never be referenced,
because most functions are never placed in tables or used with
`ref.func`. Thus, both of these initialization tasks are quite wasteful.
Profiling shows that a significant fraction of the remaining
instance-initialization time after our other recent optimizations is
going into these two tasks.
This PR implements two basic ideas:
- The anyfunc array can be lazily initialized as long as we retain the
information needed to do so. For now, in this PR, we just recreate the
anyfunc whenever a pointer is taken to it, because doing so is fast
enough; in the future we could keep some state to know whether the
anyfunc has been written yet and skip this work if redundant.
This technique allows us to leave the anyfunc array as uninitialized
memory, which can be a significant savings. Filling it with
initialized anyfuncs is very expensive, but even zeroing it is
expensive: e.g. in a large module, it can be >500KB.
- A funcref table can be lazily initialized as long as we retain a link
to its corresponding instance and function index for each element. A
zero in a table element means "uninitialized", and a slowpath does the
initialization.
Funcref tables are a little tricky because funcrefs can be null. We need
to distinguish "element was initially non-null, but user stored explicit
null later" from "element never touched" (ie the lazy init should not
blow away an explicitly stored null). We solve this by stealing the LSB
from every funcref (anyfunc pointer): when the LSB is set, the funcref
is initialized and we don't hit the lazy-init slowpath. We insert the
bit on storing to the table and mask it off after loading.
We do have to set up a precomputed array of `FuncIndex`s for the table
in order for this to work. We do this as part of the module compilation.
This PR also refactors the way that the runtime crate gains access to
information computed during module compilation.

So an improvement of something like 80-95% for a very large module (7420
functions in its one funcref table, 31928 functions total).
* Update the spec reference testsuite submodule
This commit brings in recent updates to the spec test suite. Most of the
changes here were already fixed in `wasmparser` with some tweaks to
esoteric modules, but Wasmtime also gets a bug fix where where import
matching for the size of tables/memories is based on the current runtime
size of the table/memory rather than the original type of the
table/memory. This means that during type matching the actual value is
consulted for its size rather than using the minimum size listed in its
type.
* Fix now-missing directories in build script
This also paves the way for unifying TargetIsa and MachBackend, since now they map one to one. In theory the two traits could be merged, which would be nice to limit the number of total concepts. Also they have quite different responsibilities, so it might be fine to keep them separate.
Interestingly, this PR started as removing RegInfo from the TargetIsa trait since the adapter returned a dummy value there. From the fallout, noticed that all Display implementations didn't needed an ISA anymore (since these were only used to render ISA specific registers). Also the whole family of RegInfo / ValueLoc / RegUnit was exclusively used for the old backend, and these could be removed. Notably, some IR instructions needed to be removed, because they were using RegUnit too: this was the oddball of regfill / regmove / regspill / copy_special, which were IR instructions inserted by the old regalloc. Fare thee well!
We _must not_ trigger a GC when moving refs from host code into
Wasm (e.g. returned from a host function or passed as arguments to a Wasm
function). After insertion into the table, this reference is no longer
rooted. If multiple references are being sent from the host into Wasm and we
allowed GCs during insertion, then the following events could happen:
* Reference A is inserted into the activations table. This does not trigger a
GC, but does fill the table to capacity.
* The caller's reference to A is removed. Now the only reference to A is from
the activations table.
* Reference B is inserted into the activations table. Because the table is at
capacity, a GC is triggered.
* A is reclaimed because the only reference keeping it alive was the activation
table's reference (it isn't inside any Wasm frames on the stack yet, so stack
scanning and stack maps don't increment its reference count).
* We transfer control to Wasm, giving it A and B. Wasm uses A. That's a use
after free.
To prevent uses after free, we cannot GC when moving refs into the
`VMExternRefActivationsTable` because we are passing them from the host to Wasm.
On the other hand, when we are *cloning* -- as opposed to moving -- refs from
the host to Wasm, then it is fine to GC while inserting into the activations
table, because the original referent that we are cloning from is still alive and
rooting the ref.
* Move `CompiledFunction` into wasmtime-cranelift
This commit moves the `wasmtime_environ::CompiledFunction` type into the
`wasmtime-cranelift` crate. This type has lots of Cranelift-specific
pieces of compilation and doesn't need to be generated by all Wasmtime
compilers. This replaces the usage in the `Compiler` trait with a
`Box<Any>` type that each compiler can select. Each compiler must still
produce a `FunctionInfo`, however, which is shared information we'll
deserialize for each module.
The `wasmtime-debug` crate is also folded into the `wasmtime-cranelift`
crate as a result of this commit. One possibility was to move the
`CompiledFunction` commit into its own crate and have `wasmtime-debug`
depend on that, but since `wasmtime-debug` is Cranelift-specific at this
time it didn't seem like it was too too necessary to keep it separate.
If `wasmtime-debug` supports other backends in the future we can
recreate a new crate, perhaps with it refactored to not depend on
Cranelift.
* Move wasmtime_environ::reference_type
This now belongs in wasmtime-cranelift and nowhere else
* Remove `Type` reexport in wasmtime-environ
One less dependency on `cranelift-codegen`!
* Remove `types` reexport from `wasmtime-environ`
Less cranelift!
* Remove `SourceLoc` from wasmtime-environ
Change the `srcloc`, `start_srcloc`, and `end_srcloc` fields to a custom
`FilePos` type instead of `ir::SourceLoc`. These are only used in a few
places so there's not much to lose from an extra abstraction for these
leaf use cases outside of cranelift.
* Remove wasmtime-environ's dep on cranelift's `StackMap`
This commit "clones" the `StackMap` data structure in to
`wasmtime-environ` to have an independent representation that that
chosen by Cranelift. This allows Wasmtime to decouple this runtime
dependency of stack map information and let the two evolve
independently, if necessary.
An alternative would be to refactor cranelift's implementation into a
separate crate and have wasmtime depend on that but it seemed a bit like
overkill to do so and easier to clone just a few lines for this.
* Define code offsets in wasmtime-environ with `u32`
Don't use Cranelift's `binemit::CodeOffset` alias to define this field
type since the `wasmtime-environ` crate will be losing the
`cranelift-codegen` dependency soon.
* Commit to using `cranelift-entity` in Wasmtime
This commit removes the reexport of `cranelift-entity` from the
`wasmtime-environ` crate and instead directly depends on the
`cranelift-entity` crate in all referencing crates. The original reason
for the reexport was to make cranelift version bumps easier since it's
less versions to change, but nowadays we have a script to do that.
Otherwise this encourages crates to use whatever they want from
`cranelift-entity` since we'll always depend on the whole crate.
It's expected that the `cranelift-entity` crate will continue to be a
lean crate in dependencies and suitable for use at both runtime and
compile time. Consequently there's no need to avoid its usage in
Wasmtime at runtime, since "remove Cranelift at compile time" is
primarily about the `cranelift-codegen` crate.
* Remove most uses of `cranelift-codegen` in `wasmtime-environ`
There's only one final use remaining, which is the reexport of
`TrapCode`, which will get handled later.
* Limit the glob-reexport of `cranelift_wasm`
This commit removes the glob reexport of `cranelift-wasm` from the
`wasmtime-environ` crate. This is intended to explicitly define what
we're reexporting and is a transitionary step to curtail the amount of
dependencies taken on `cranelift-wasm` throughout the codebase. For
example some functions used by debuginfo mapping are better imported
directly from the crate since they're Cranelift-specific. Note that
this is intended to be a temporary state affairs, soon this reexport
will be gone entirely.
Additionally this commit reduces imports from `cranelift_wasm` and also
primarily imports from `crate::wasm` within `wasmtime-environ` to get a
better sense of what's imported from where and what will need to be
shared.
* Extract types from cranelift-wasm to cranelift-wasm-types
This commit creates a new crate called `cranelift-wasm-types` and
extracts type definitions from the `cranelift-wasm` crate into this new
crate. The purpose of this crate is to be a shared definition of wasm
types that can be shared both by compilers (like Cranelift) as well as
wasm runtimes (e.g. Wasmtime). This new `cranelift-wasm-types` crate
doesn't depend on `cranelift-codegen` and is the final step in severing
the unconditional dependency from Wasmtime to `cranelift-codegen`.
The final refactoring in this commit is to then reexport this crate from
`wasmtime-environ`, delete the `cranelift-codegen` dependency, and then
update all `use` paths to point to these new types.
The main change of substance here is that the `TrapCode` enum is
mirrored from Cranelift into this `cranelift-wasm-types` crate. While
this unfortunately results in three definitions (one more which is
non-exhaustive in Wasmtime itself) it's hopefully not too onerous and
ideally something we can patch up in the future.
* Get lightbeam compiling
* Remove unnecessary dependency
* Fix compile with uffd
* Update publish script
* Fix more uffd tests
* Rename cranelift-wasm-types to wasmtime-types
This reflects the purpose a bit more where it's types specifically
intended for Wasmtime and its support.
* Fix publish script
Previously cranelift's wasm code generator would emit a raw `store`
instruction for all wasm types, regardless of what the cranelift operand
type was. Cranelift's `store` instruction, however, isn't valid for
boolean vector types. This commit fixes this issue by inserting a
bitcast specifically for the store instruction if a boolean vector type
is being stored, continuing to avoid the bitcast for all other vector types.
Closes#3099
The main purpose for doing this is that this is a large piece of
functionality used by Wasmtime which is entirely independent of
Cranelift. Eventually Wasmtime wants to be able to compile without
Cranelift, but it can't also depend on `cranelift-wasm` in that
situation for module translation which means that something needs to
happen. One option is to refactor what's in `cranelift-wasm` into a
separate crate (since all these pieces don't actually depend on
`cranelift-codegen`), but I personally chose to not do this because:
* The `ModuleEnvironment` trait, AFAIK, only has a primary user of
Wasmtime. The Spidermonkey integration, for example, does not use this.
* This is an extra layer of abstraction between Wasmtime and the
compilation phase which was a bit of a pain to maintain. It couldn't
be Wasmtime-specific as it was part of Cranelift but at the same time
it had lots of Wasmtime-centric functionality (such as module
linking).
* Updating the "dummy" implementation has become pretty onerous over
time as frequent additions are made and the "dummy" implementation was
never actually used anywhere. This ended up feeling like effectively
busy-work to update this.
For these reasons I've opted to to move the meat of `cranelift-wasm`
used by `wasmtime-environ` directly into `wasmtime-environ`. This means
that the only real meat that Wasmtime uses from `cranelift-wasm` is the
function-translation bits in the `wasmtime-cranelift` crate.
The changes in `wasmtime-environ` are largely to inline module parsing
together so it's a bit easier to follow instead of trying to connect
the dots between lots of various function calls.
This commit started off by deleting the `cranelift_codegen::settings`
reexport in the `wasmtime-environ` crate and then basically played
whack-a-mole until everything compiled again. The main result of this is
that the `wasmtime-*` family of crates have generally less of a
dependency on the `TargetIsa` trait and type from Cranelift. While the
dependency isn't entirely severed yet this is at least a significant
start.
This commit is intended to be largely refactorings, no functional
changes are intended here. The refactorings are:
* A `CompilerBuilder` trait has been added to `wasmtime_environ` which
server as an abstraction used to create compilers and configure them
in a uniform fashion. The `wasmtime::Config` type now uses this
instead of cranelift-specific settings. The `wasmtime-jit` crate
exports the ability to create a compiler builder from a
`CompilationStrategy`, which only works for Cranelift right now. In a
cranelift-less build of Wasmtime this is expected to return a trait
object that fails all requests to compile.
* The `Compiler` trait in the `wasmtime_environ` crate has been souped
up with a number of methods that Wasmtime and other crates needed.
* The `wasmtime-debug` crate is now moved entirely behind the
`wasmtime-cranelift` crate.
* The `wasmtime-cranelift` crate is now only depended on by the
`wasmtime-jit` crate.
* Wasm types in `cranelift-wasm` no longer contain their IR type,
instead they only contain the `WasmType`. This is required to get
everything to align correctly but will also be required in a future
refactoring where the types used by `cranelift-wasm` will be extracted
to a separate crate.
* I moved around a fair bit of code in `wasmtime-cranelift`.
* Some gdb-specific jit-specific code has moved from `wasmtime-debug` to
`wasmtime-jit`.
* Move all trampoline compilation to `wasmtime-cranelift`
This commit moves compilation of all the trampolines used in wasmtime
behind the `Compiler` trait object to live in `wasmtime-cranelift`. The
long-term goal of this is to enable depending on cranelift *only* from
the `wasmtime-cranelift` crate, so by moving these dependencies we
should make that a little more flexible.
* Fix windows build
* Implement the memory64 proposal in Wasmtime
This commit implements the WebAssembly [memory64 proposal][proposal] in
both Wasmtime and Cranelift. In terms of work done Cranelift ended up
needing very little work here since most of it was already prepared for
64-bit memories at one point or another. Most of the work in Wasmtime is
largely refactoring, changing a bunch of `u32` values to something else.
A number of internal and public interfaces are changing as a result of
this commit, for example:
* Acessors on `wasmtime::Memory` that work with pages now all return
`u64` unconditionally rather than `u32`. This makes it possible to
accommodate 64-bit memories with this API, but we may also want to
consider `usize` here at some point since the host can't grow past
`usize`-limited pages anyway.
* The `wasmtime::Limits` structure is removed in favor of
minimum/maximum methods on table/memory types.
* Many libcall intrinsics called by jit code now unconditionally take
`u64` arguments instead of `u32`. Return values are `usize`, however,
since the return value, if successful, is always bounded by host
memory while arguments can come from any guest.
* The `heap_addr` clif instruction now takes a 64-bit offset argument
instead of a 32-bit one. It turns out that the legalization of
`heap_addr` already worked with 64-bit offsets, so this change was
fairly trivial to make.
* The runtime implementation of mmap-based linear memories has changed
to largely work in `usize` quantities in its API and in bytes instead
of pages. This simplifies various aspects and reflects that
mmap-memories are always bound by `usize` since that's what the host
is using to address things, and additionally most calculations care
about bytes rather than pages except for the very edge where we're
going to/from wasm.
Overall I've tried to minimize the amount of `as` casts as possible,
using checked `try_from` and checked arithemtic with either error
handling or explicit `unwrap()` calls to tell us about bugs in the
future. Most locations have relatively obvious things to do with various
implications on various hosts, and I think they should all be roughly of
the right shape but time will tell. I mostly relied on the compiler
complaining that various types weren't aligned to figure out
type-casting, and I manually audited some of the more obvious locations.
I suspect we have a number of hidden locations that will panic on 32-bit
hosts if 64-bit modules try to run there, but otherwise I think we
should be generally ok (famous last words). In any case I wouldn't want
to enable this by default naturally until we've fuzzed it for some time.
In terms of the actual underlying implementation, no one should expect
memory64 to be all that fast. Right now it's implemented with
"dynamic" heaps which have a few consequences:
* All memory accesses are bounds-checked. I'm not sure how aggressively
Cranelift tries to optimize out bounds checks, but I suspect not a ton
since we haven't stressed this much historically.
* Heaps are always precisely sized. This means that every call to
`memory.grow` will incur a `memcpy` of memory from the old heap to the
new. We probably want to at least look into `mremap` on Linux and
otherwise try to implement schemes where dynamic heaps have some
reserved pages to grow into to help amortize the cost of
`memory.grow`.
The memory64 spec test suite is scheduled to now run on CI, but as with
all the other spec test suites it's really not all that comprehensive.
I've tried adding more tests for basic things as I've had to implement
guards for them, but I wouldn't really consider the testing adequate
from just this PR itself. I did try to take care in one test to actually
allocate a 4gb+ heap and then avoid running that in the pooling
allocator or in emulation because otherwise that may fail or take
excessively long.

* Fix some tests
* More test fixes
* Fix wasmtime tests
* Fix doctests
* Revert to 32-bit immediate offsets in `heap_addr`
This commit updates the generation of addresses in wasm code to always
use 32-bit offsets for `heap_addr`, and if the calculated offset is
bigger than 32-bits we emit a manual add with an overflow check.
* Disable memory64 for spectest fuzzing
* Fix wrong offset being added to heap addr
* More comments!
* Clarify bytes/pages
* Consolidate address calculations for atomics
This commit consolidates all calcuations of guest addresses into one
`prepare_addr` function. This notably remove the atomics-specifics paths
as well as the `prepare_load` function (now renamed to `prepare_addr`
and folded into `get_heap_addr`).
The goal of this commit is to simplify how addresses are managed in the
code generator for atomics to use all the shared infrastrucutre of other
loads/stores as well. This additionally fixes#3132 via the use of
`heap_addr` in clif for all operations.
I also added a number of tests for loads/stores with varying alignments.
Originally I was going to allow loads/stores to not be aligned since
that's what the current formal specification says, but the overview of
the threads proposal disagrees with the formal specification, so I
figured I'd leave it as-is but adding tests probably doesn't hurt.
Closes#3132
* Fix old backend
* Guarantee misalignment checks happen before out-of-bounds
* Bump the wasm-tools crates
Pulls in some updates here and there, mostly for updating crates to the
latest version to prepare for later memory64 work.
* Update lightbeam
* Change VMMemoryDefinition::current_length to `usize`
This commit changes the definition of
`VMMemoryDefinition::current_length` to `usize` from its previous
definition of `u32`. This is a pretty impactful change because it also
changes the cranelift semantics of "dynamic" heaps where the bound
global value specifier must now match the pointer type for the platform
rather than the index type for the heap.
The motivation for this change is that the `current_length` field (or
bound for the heap) is intended to reflect the current size of the heap.
This is bound by `usize` on the host platform rather than `u32` or`
u64`. The previous choice of `u32` couldn't represent a 4GB memory
because we couldn't put a number representing 4GB into the
`current_length` field. By using `usize`, which reflects the host's
memory allocation, this should better reflect the size of the heap and
allows Wasmtime to support a full 4GB heap for a wasm program (instead
of 4GB minus one page).
This commit also updates the legalization of the `heap_addr` clif
instruction to appropriately cast the address to the platform's pointer
type, handling bounds checks along the way. The practical impact for
today's targets is that a `uextend` is happening sooner than it happened
before, but otherwise there is no intended impact of this change. In the
future when 64-bit memories are supported there will likely need to be
fancier logic which handles offsets a bit differently (especially in the
case of a 64-bit memory on a 32-bit host).
The clif `filetest` changes should show the differences in codegen, and
the Wasmtime changes are largely removing casts here and there.
Closes#3022
