Previously, getting or setting a value in a frame of the Cranelift interpreter involved a hash table lookup. Since the interpreter statically knows the number of slots necessary for each called frame, we can use a vector instead and save time on the hash lookup. This also has the advantage that we have a more stable ABI for switching between interpreted and code.
This was added as an incremental step to improve AArch64 code quality in
PR #2278. At the time, we did not have a way to pattern-match the load +
splat opcode sequence that the relevant Wasm opcodes lowered to.
However, now with PR #2366, we can merge effectful instructions such as
loads into other ops, and so we can do this pattern matching directly.
The pattern-matching update will come in a subsequent commit.
This patch implements, for aarch64, the following wasm SIMD extensions
i32x4.dot_i16x8_s instruction
https://github.com/WebAssembly/simd/pull/127
It also updates dependencies as follows, in order that the new instruction can
be parsed, decoded, etc:
wat to 1.0.27
wast to 26.0.1
wasmparser to 0.65.0
wasmprinter to 0.2.12
The changes are straightforward:
* new CLIF instruction `widening_pairwise_dot_product_s`
* translation from wasm into `widening_pairwise_dot_product_s`
* new AArch64 instructions `smull`, `smull2` (part of the `VecRRR` group)
* translation from `widening_pairwise_dot_product_s` to `smull ; smull2 ; addv`
There is no testcase in this commit, because that is a separate repo. The
implementation has been tested, nevertheless.
* Rewrite interpreter generically
This change re-implements the Cranelift interpreter to use generic values; this makes it possible to do abstract interpretation of Cranelift instructions. In doing so, the interpretation state is extracted from the `Interpreter` structure and is accessed via a `State` trait; this makes it possible to not only more clearly observe the interpreter's state but also to interpret using a dummy state (e.g. `ImmutableRegisterState`). This addition made it possible to implement more of the Cranelift instructions (~70%, ignoring the x86-specific instructions).
* Replace macros with closures
As discussed in #2251, in order to be very confident that NaN signaling bits are correctly handled by the compiler, this switches `DataValue` to use Cranelift's `Ieee32` and `Ieee64` structures. This makes it a bit more inconvenient to interpreter Cranelift FP operations but this should change to something like `rustc_apfloat` in the future.
This is an incomplete version of a Cranelift IR interpreter: only a small subset of instructions are implemented and (known) missing parts are marked with TODO or FIXME.
