* Revert fstatat on *nix and test symlinks in path_filestat calls
This commit effectively reverts too eager refactoring on my part which
resulted in incorrect `path_filestat_{get, set_times}` behaviour on
*nix hosts. In the presence of symlinks, neither of the calls would
work properly.
In order to shield ourselves from similar errors in the future, I've
augmented the `path_filestat` test cases with symlink checks as well.
* Pass appropriate flags to fstatat and utimensat
* Fix formatting
* Fix Windows build
* Expand final symlinks if follow is set on Windows
* Fix formatting
* Do not follow symlinks unless specified on Windows
* Update comments and restart CI
* Skip testing volatile atim field
This patch fixes a subtle bug that occurred in the MachBuffer branch
optimization: in tracking labels at the current buffer tail using a
sorted-by-offset array, the code did not update this array properly when
redirecting labels. As a result, the dead-branch removal was unsafe,
because not every label pointing to a branch is guaranteed to be
redirected properly first.
Discovered while doing performance testing: bz2 silently took a wrong
branch and exited compression early. (Eek!)
To address this problem, this patch adopts a slightly simpler data
structure: we only track the labels *at the current buffer tail*, and
*at the start of each branch*, and we're careful to update these
appropriately to maintain the invariants. I'm pretty confident that this
is correct now, but we should (still) fuzz it a bunch, because wrong
control flow scares me a nonzero amount. I should probably also actually
write out a formal proof that these data-structure updates are correct.
The optimizations are important for performance (removing useless empty
blocks, and taking advantage of any fallthrough opportunities at all),
so I don't think we would want to drop them entirely.
* CI: Only build fuzz targets, don't run them over the corpora
We've only ever caught a single potential regression by running the fuzz targets
over a sample of their corpora. However, this is also our slowest CI
job. Running the fuzz targets over their corpora simply isn't paying for itself.
Instead, just ensure that we can build the fuzz targets with `cargo fuzz` and
all of the libFuzzer and sanitizer instrumentation that it enables. This will
ensure that we don't break the fuzz targets, and we leave finding regressions in
the fuzz corpora to oss-fuzz.
* fuzz: feature gate peepmatic's fuzz targets
This makes it so that the CI's fuzz target-building job doesn't build peepmatic,
and transitively Z3.
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.
* CI: only test `peepmatic` in one job
This avoids building Z3 in most jobs, which saves CI time.
* Fix curl syntax on Windows

This updates our github actions configuration with a new feature
released which allows configuring the default shell for the entire
worflow. Here we set that to `bash` since we frequently do that anyway
and it helps keep syntax consistent throughout the configuration file.
Right now we're just getting a lot of noisy "can't parse manifest" error
messages, and with `cargo audit` running on CI we should be alerted to
security vulnerabilities anyway.
Rather than outright replacing parts of our existing peephole optimizations
passes, this makes peepmatic an optional cargo feature that can be enabled. This
allows us to take a conservative approach with enabling peepmatic everywhere,
while also allowing us to get it in-tree and make it easier to collaborate on
improving it quickly.
After replacing an instruction with an alias to an earlier value, trying to
further optimize that value is unnecessary, since we've already processed it,
and also was triggering an assertion.
