* Add initial support for fused adapter trampolines
This commit lands a significant new piece of functionality to Wasmtime's
implementation of the component model in the form of the implementation
of fused adapter trampolines. Internally within a component core wasm
modules can communicate with each other by having their exports
`canon lift`'d to get `canon lower`'d into a different component. This
signifies that two components are communicating through a statically
known interface via the canonical ABI at this time. Previously Wasmtime
was able to identify that this communication was happening but it simply
panicked with `unimplemented!` upon seeing it. This commit is the
beginning of filling out this panic location with an actual
implementation.
The implementation route chosen here for fused adapters is to use a
WebAssembly module itself for the implementation. This means that, at
compile time of a component, Wasmtime is generating core WebAssembly
modules which then get recursively compiled within Wasmtime as well. The
choice to use WebAssembly itself as the implementation of fused adapters
stems from a few motivations:
* This does not represent a significant increase in the "trusted
compiler base" of Wasmtime. Getting the Wasm -> CLIF translation
correct once is hard enough much less for an entirely different IR to
CLIF. By generating WebAssembly no new interactions with Cranelift are
added which drastically reduces the possibilities for mistakes.
* Using WebAssembly means that component adapters are insulated from
miscompilations and mistakes. If something goes wrong it's defined
well within the WebAssembly specification how it goes wrong and what
happens as a result. This means that the "blast zone" for a wrong
adapter is the component instance but not the entire host itself.
Accesses to linear memory are guaranteed to be in-bounds and otherwise
handled via well-defined traps.
* A fully-finished fused adapter compiler is expected to be a
significant and quite complex component of Wasmtime. Functionality
along these lines is expected to be needed for Web-based polyfills of
the component model and by using core WebAssembly it provides the
opportunity to share code between Wasmtime and these polyfills for the
component model.
* Finally the runtime implementation of managing WebAssembly modules is
already implemented and quite easy to integrate with, so representing
fused adapters with WebAssembly results in very little extra support
necessary for the runtime implementation of instantiating and managing
a component.
The compiler added in this commit is dubbed Wasmtime's Fused Adapter
Compiler of Trampolines (FACT) because who doesn't like deriving a name
from an acronym. Currently the trampoline compiler is limited in its
support for interface types and only supports a few primitives. I plan
on filing future PRs to flesh out the support here for all the variants
of `InterfaceType`. For now this PR is primarily focused on all of the
other infrastructure for the addition of a trampoline compiler.
With the choice to use core WebAssembly to implement fused adapters it
means that adapters need to be inserted into a module. Unfortunately
adapters cannot all go into a single WebAssembly module because adapters
themselves have dependencies which may be provided transitively through
instances that were instantiated with other adapters. This means that a
significant chunk of this PR (`adapt.rs`) is dedicated to determining
precisely which adapters go into precisely which adapter modules. This
partitioning process attempts to make large modules wherever it can to
cut down on core wasm instantiations but is likely not optimal as
it's just a simple heuristic today.
With all of this added together it's now possible to start writing
`*.wast` tests that internally have adapted modules communicating with
one another. A `fused.wast` test suite was added as part of this PR
which is the beginning of tests for the support of the fused adapter
compiler added in this PR. Currently this is primarily testing some
various topologies of adapters along with direct/indirect modes. This
will grow many more tests over time as more types are supported.
Overall I'm not 100% satisfied with the testing story of this PR. When a
test fails it's very difficult to debug since everything is written in
the text format of WebAssembly meaning there's no "conveniences" to
print out the state of the world when things go wrong and easily debug.
I think this will become even more apparent as more tests are written
for more types in subsequent PRs. At this time though I know of no
better alternative other than leaning pretty heavily on fuzz-testing to
ensure this is all exercised.
* Fix an unused field warning
* Fix tests in `wasmtime-runtime`
* Add some more tests for compiled trampolines
* Remap exports when injecting adapters
The exports of a component were accidentally left unmapped which meant
that they indexed the instance indexes pre-adapter module insertion.
* Fix typo
* Rebase conflicts
* Components: ignore type exports (for now).
This commit updates component translation to ignore type exports for now.
Components generated with `wit-component` contain type exports to give names to
types used within the component's functions based on the component's wit
definition.
The intention is to allow bindings to be generated with meaningful names
directly from a component. In the future, type exports (and imports) may be
used for more than this purpose to support things like resource types.
This commit effectively ignores type exports when translating the component as
they are not useful to executing a component at this time.
Closes#4415.
* Code review feedback.
This commit adds support to Wasmtime for components which themselves
export instances. The support here adds new APIs for how instance
exports are accessed in the embedding API. For now this is mostly just a
first-pass where the API is somewhat confusing and has a lot of
lifetimes. I'm hoping that over time we can figure out how to simplify
this but for now it should at least be expressive enough for exploring
the exports of an instance.
* Implement `canon lower` of a `canon lift` function in the same component
This commit implements the "degenerate" logic for implementing a
function within a component that is lifted and then immediately lowered
again. In this situation the lowered function will immediately generate
a trap and doesn't need to implement anything else.
The implementation in this commit is somewhat heavyweight but I think is
probably justified moreso in future additions to the component model
rather than what exactly is here right now. It's not expected that this
"always trap" functionality will really be used all that often since it
would generally mean a buggy component, but the functionality plumbed
through here is hopefully going to be useful for implementing
component-to-component adapter trampolines.
Specifically this commit implements a strategy where the `canon.lower`'d
function is generated by Cranelift and simply has a single trap
instruction when called, doing nothing else. The main complexity comes
from juggling around all the data associated with these functions,
primarily plumbing through the traps into the `ModuleRegistry` to
ensure that the global `is_wasm_trap_pc` function returns `true` and at
runtime when we lookup information about the trap it's all readily
available (e.g. translating the trapping pc to a `TrapCode`).
* Fix non-component build
* Fix some offset calculations
* Only create one "always trap" per signature
Use an internal map to deduplicate during compilation.
Currently I don't know how we can reasonably implement this. Given all
the signatures of how we call functions and how functions are called on
the host there's no real feasible way that I know of to hook these two
up "seamlessly". This means that a component which reexports an imported
function can't be run in Wasmtime.
One of the main reasons for this is that when calling a component
function Wasmtime wants to lower arguments first and then have them
lifted when the host is called. With a reexport though there's not
actually anything to lower into so we'd sort of need something similar
to a table on the side or maybe a linear memory and that seems like it'd
get quite complicated quite quickly for not really all that much
benefit. As-such for now this simply returns a first-class error (rather
than the current panic) in situations like this.
* Implement lowered-then-lifted functions
This commit is a few features bundled into one, culminating in the
implementation of lowered-then-lifted functions for the component model.
It's probably not going to be used all that often but this is possible
within a valid component so Wasmtime needs to do something relatively
reasonable. The main things implemented in this commit are:
* Component instances are now assigned a `RuntimeComponentInstanceIndex`
to differentiate each one. This will be used in the future to detect
fusion (one instance lowering a function from another instance). For
now it's used to allocate separate `VMComponentFlags` for each
internal component instance.
* The `CoreExport<FuncIndex>` of lowered functions was changed to a
`CoreDef` since technically a lowered function can use another lowered
function as the callee. This ended up being not too difficult to plumb
through as everything else was already in place.
* A need arose to compile host-to-wasm trampolines which weren't already
present. Currently wasm in a component is always entered through a
host-to-wasm trampoline but core wasm modules are the source of all
the trampolines. In the case of a lowered-then-lifted function there
may not actually be any core wasm modules, so component objects now
contain necessary trampolines not otherwise provided by the core wasm
objects. This feature required splitting a new function into the
`Compiler` trait for creating a host-to-wasm trampoline. After doing
this core wasm compilation was also updated to leverage this which
further enabled compiling trampolines in parallel as opposed to the
previous synchronous compilation.
* Review comments
* Add support for nested components
This commit is an implementation of a number of features of the
component model including:
* Defining nested components
* Outer aliases to components and modules
* Instantiating nested components
The implementation here is intended to be a foundational pillar of
Wasmtime's component model support since recursion and nested components
are the bread-and-butter of the component model. At a high level the
intention for the component model implementation in Wasmtime has long
been that the recursive nature of components is "erased" at compile time
to something that's more optimized and efficient to process. This commit
ended up exemplifying this quite well where the vast majority of the
internal changes here are in the "compilation" phase of a component
rather than the runtime instantiation phase. The support in the
`wasmtime` crate, the runtime instantiation support, only had minor
updates here while the internals of translation have seen heavy updates.
The `translate` module was greatly refactored here in this commit.
Previously it would, as a component is parsed, create a final
`Component` to hand off to trampoline compilation and get persisted at
runtime. Instead now it's a thin layer over `wasmparser` which simply
records a list of `LocalInitializer` entries for how to instantiate the
component and its index spaces are built. This internal representation
of the instantiation of a component is pretty close to the binary format
intentionally.
Instead of performing dataflow legwork the `translate` phase of a
component is now responsible for two primary tasks:
1. All components and modules are discovered within a component. They're
assigned `Static{Component,Module}Index` depending on where they're
found and a `{Module,}Translation` is prepared for each one. This
"flattens" the recursive structure of the binary into an indexed list
processable later.
2. The lexical scope of components is managed here to implement outer
module and component aliases. This is a significant design
implementation because when closing over an outer component or module
that item may actually be imported or something like the result of a
previous instantiation. This means that the capture of
modules and components is both a lexical concern as well as a runtime
concern. The handling of the "runtime" bits are handled in the next
phase of compilation.
The next and currently final phase of compilation is a new pass where
much of the historical code in `translate.rs` has been moved to (but
heavily refactored). The goal of compilation is to produce one "flat"
list of initializers for a component (as happens prior to this PR) and
to achieve this an "inliner" phase runs which runs through the
instantiation process at compile time to produce a list of initializers.
This `inline` module is the main addition as part of this PR and is now
the workhorse for dataflow analysis and tracking what's actually
referring to what.
During the `inline` phase the local initializers recorded in the
`translate` phase are processed, in sequence, to instantiate a
component. Definitions of items are tracked to correspond to their root
definition which allows seeing across instantiation argument boundaries
and such. Handling "upvars" for component outer aliases is handled in
the `inline` phase as well by creating state for a component whenever a
component is defined as was recorded during the `translate` phase.
Finally this phase is chiefly responsible for doing all string-based
name resolution at compile time that it can. This means that at runtime
no string maps will need to be consulted for item exports and such.
The final result of inlining is a list of "global initializers" which is
a flat list processed during instantiation time. These are almost
identical to the initializers that were processed prior to this PR.
There are certainly still more gaps of the component model to implement
but this should be a major leg up in terms of functionality that
Wasmtime implements. This commit, however leaves behind a "hole" which
is not intended to be filled in at this time, namely importing and
exporting components at the "root" level from and to the host. This is
tracked and explained in more detail as part of #4283.
cc #4185 as this completes a number of items there
* Tweak code to work on stable without warning
* Review comments
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.
* Implement module imports into components
As a step towards implementing function imports into a component this
commit implements importing modules into a component. This fills out
missing pieces of functionality such as exporting modules as well. The
previous translation code had initial support for translating imported
modules but some of the AST type information was restructured with
feedback from this implementation, namely splitting the
`InstantiateModule` initializer into separate upvar/import variants to
clarify that the item orderings for imports are resolved differently at
runtime.
Much of this commit is also adding infrastructure for any imports at all
into a component. For example a `Linker` type (analagous to
`wasmtime::Linker`) was added here as well. For now this type is quite
limited due to the inability to define host functions (it can only work
with instances and instances-of-modules) but it's enough to start
writing `*.wast` tests which exercise lots of module-related functionality.
* Fix a warning
* Initial skeleton of some component model processing
This commit is the first of what will likely be many to implement the
component model proposal in Wasmtime. This will be structured as a
series of incremental commits, most of which haven't been written yet.
My hope is to make this incremental and over time to make this easier to
review and easier to test each step in isolation.
Here much of the skeleton of how components are going to work in
Wasmtime is sketched out. This is not a complete implementation of the
component model so it's not all that useful yet, but some things you can
do are:
* Process the type section into a representation amenable for working
with in Wasmtime.
* Process the module section and register core wasm modules.
* Process the instance section for core wasm modules.
* Process core wasm module imports.
* Process core wasm instance aliasing.
* Ability to compile a component with core wasm embedded.
* Ability to instantiate a component with no imports.
* Ability to get functions from this component.
This is already starting to diverge from the previous module linking
representation where a `Component` will try to avoid unnecessary
metadata about the component and instead internally only have the bare
minimum necessary to instantiate the module. My hope is we can avoid
constructing most of the index spaces during instantiation only for it
to all ge thrown away. Additionally I'm predicting that we'll need to
see through processing where possible to know how to generate adapters
and where they are fused.
At this time you can't actually call a component's functions, and that's
the next PR that I would like to make.
* Add tests for the component model support
This commit uses the recently updated wasm-tools crates to add tests for
the component model added in the previous commit. This involved updating
the `wasmtime-wast` crate for component-model changes. Currently the
component support there is quite primitive, but enough to at least
instantiate components and verify the internals of Wasmtime are all
working correctly. Additionally some simple tests for the embedding API
have also been added.
