Before this patch, running the x64 new backend would require both
compiling with --features experimental_x64 and running with
`use_new_backend`.
This patches changes this behavior so that the runtime flag is not
needed anymore: using the feature flag will enforce usage of the new
backend everywhere, making using and testing it much simpler:
cargo run --features experimental_x64 ;; other CLI options/flags
This also gives a hint at what the meta language generation would look
like after switching to the new backend.
Compiling only with the x64 codegen flag gives a nice compile time speedup.
This commit adds support for generating stackmaps at safepoints to the
new backend framework and to the AArch64 backend in particular. It has
been tested to work with SpiderMonkey.
This commit adds the inital support to allow reftypes to flow through
the program when targetting aarch64. It also adds a fix to the
`ModuleTranslationState` needed to send R32/R64 types over from the
SpiderMonkey embedding.
This commit does not include any support for safepoints in aarch64
or the `MachInst` infrastructure; that is in the next commit.
This commit also makes a drive-by improvement to `Bint`, avoiding an
unneeded zero-extension op when the extended value comes directly from a
conditional-set (which produces a full-width 0 or 1).
The main issue with the InstSize enum was that it was used both for
GPR and SIMD & FP operands, even though machine instructions do not
mix them in general (as in a destination register is either a GPR
or not). As a result it had methods such as sf_bit() that made
sense only for one type of operand.
Another issue was that the enum name was not reflecting its purpose
accurately - it was meant to represent an instruction operand size,
not an instruction size, which is fixed in A64 (always 4 bytes).
Now the enum is split into one for GPR operands and another for
scalar SIMD & FP operands.

* Switch CI back to nightly channel
I think all upstream issues are now fixed so we should be good to switch
back to nightly from our previously pinned version.
* Fix doc warnings
The ARM book says that the immr field should contain (-count % 64); the
existing code was approximating this with (64 - count), which is not
correct for a zero count.
The `SaveXmm128Far` unwind op should have a 32-bit unscaled value.
The value was accidentally scaled down by 16 while calculating whether or not
the `SaveXmm128` or `SaveXmm128Far` unwind op should be used.
This commit removes the "set frame pointer" unwind code and frame
pointer information from Windows x64 unwind information.
In Windows x64 unwind information, a "frame pointer" is actually the
*base address* of the static part of the local frame and would be at some
negative offset to RSP upon establishing the frame pointer.
Currently Cranelift uses a "traditional" notion of a frame pointer, one
that is the highest address in the local frame (i.e. pointing at the
previous frame pointer on the stack).
Windows x64 unwind doesn't describe such frame pointers and only needs
one described if the frame contains a dynamic stack allocation.
Fixes#1967.
- put the division in the synthetic instruction as well,
- put the branch table check in the inst's emission code,
- replace OneWayCondJmp by TrapIf vcode instruction,
- add comments describing code generated by the synthetic instructions
In discussions with @bnjbvr, it came up that generating `OneWayCondBr`s
with explicit, hardcoded PC-offsets as part of lowered instruction
sequences is actually unsafe, because the register allocator *might*
insert a spill or reload into the middle of our sequence. We were
careful about this in some cases but somehow missed that it was a
general restriction. Conceptually, all inter-instruction references
should be via labels at the VCode level; explicit offsets are only ever
known at emission time, and resolved by the `MachBuffer`.
To allow for conditional trap checks without modifying the CFG (as seen
by regalloc) during lowering, this PR instead adds a `TrapIf`
pseudo-instruction that conditionally skips a single embedded trap
instruction. It lowers to the same `condbr label ; trap ; label: ...`
sequence, but without the hardcoded branch-target offset in the lowering
code.
The failure to mask the amount triggered a panic due to a subtraction
overflow check; see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1649432. Attempting to
shift by an out-of-range amount should be defined to shift by an amount
mod the operand size (i.e., masked to 5 bits for 32-bit shifts, or 6
bits for 64-bit shifts).
This PR adds a conditional move following a heap bounds check through
which the address to be accessed flows. This conditional move ensures
that even if the branch is mispredicted (access is actually out of
bounds, but speculation goes down in-bounds path), the acually accessed
address is zero (a NULL pointer) rather than the out-of-bounds address.
The mitigation is controlled by a flag that is off by default, but can
be set by the embedding. Note that in order to turn it on by default,
we would need to add conditional-move support to the current x86
backend; this does not appear to be present. Once the deprecated
backend is removed in favor of the new backend, IMHO we should turn
this flag on by default.
Note that the mitigation is unneccessary when we use the "huge heap"
technique on 64-bit systems, in which we allocate a range of virtual
address space such that no 32-bit offset can reach other data. Hence,
this only affects small-heap configurations.
