Removes unneeded data structure that was holding instructions for
xmm based move instructions. These instructions can should be categorized
as rm not just r. This change is intended to simplify organization and
cases when lowering.
This patch implements the required but not already available
x64 instructions for copysign as well as the actual lowering sequence
and tests for the newly implemented x64 instructions.
Those instructions include:
andps,
andnps,
movaps,
movd,
orps,
The lowering sequence is based on the lowering for f32.copysign
in the current cranelift backend. movd does not have a test yet
due to some logic needed express a 32-bit register as a source
for xmm_rm_r instructions. This code also begins some
rethinking/refactoring of how the sse move instuctions
are written and so also includes new emit cases that will replace
current ones that match a different enum used to describe sse moves.
From discussion with Julian and Ben, this PR makes a few documentation-
and naming-level changes (no functionality change):
- Document that the `LowerCtx`-provided output register can be used as a
scratch register during the lowered instruction sequence before
placing the final result in it.
- Rename `input_to_*` helpers in the AArch64 backend to
`put_input_in_*`, emphasizing that these are side-effecting helpers
that potentially generate code (e.g., sign/zero-extensions) to ensure
an input value is in a register.
Adds support for lowering clif instructions Fdiv and Fmul
for new vcode backend. Misc adds lowering and test for
sqrtss and removes a redundant to_string() func for the
SseOpcode struct.
This introduces two changes:
- first, a Cargo feature is added to make it possible to use the
Cranelift x64 backend directly from wasmtime's CLI.
- second, when passing a `cranelift-flags` parameter, and the given
parameter's name doesn't exist at the target-independent flag level, try
to set it as a target-dependent setting.
These two changes make it possible to try out the new x64 backend with:
cargo run --features experimental_x64 -- run --cranelift-flags use_new_backend=true -- /path/to/a.wasm
Right now, this will fail because most opcodes required by the
trampolines are actually not implemented yet.
For host VM code, we use plain reference counting, where cloning increments
the reference count, and dropping decrements it. We can avoid many of the
on-stack increment/decrement operations that typically plague the
performance of reference counting via Rust's ownership and borrowing system.
Moving a `VMExternRef` avoids mutating its reference count, and borrowing it
either avoids the reference count increment or delays it until if/when the
`VMExternRef` is cloned.
When passing a `VMExternRef` into compiled Wasm code, we don't want to do
reference count mutations for every compiled `local.{get,set}`, nor for
every function call. Therefore, we use a variation of **deferred reference
counting**, where we only mutate reference counts when storing
`VMExternRef`s somewhere that outlives the activation: into a global or
table. Simultaneously, we over-approximate the set of `VMExternRef`s that
are inside Wasm function activations. Periodically, we walk the stack at GC
safe points, and use stack map information to precisely identify the set of
`VMExternRef`s inside Wasm activations. Then we take the difference between
this precise set and our over-approximation, and decrement the reference
count for each of the `VMExternRef`s that are in our over-approximation but
not in the precise set. Finally, the over-approximation is replaced with the
precise set.
The `VMExternRefActivationsTable` implements the over-approximized set of
`VMExternRef`s referenced by Wasm activations. Calling a Wasm function and
passing it a `VMExternRef` moves the `VMExternRef` into the table, and the
compiled Wasm function logically "borrows" the `VMExternRef` from the
table. Similarly, `global.get` and `table.get` operations clone the gotten
`VMExternRef` into the `VMExternRefActivationsTable` and then "borrow" the
reference out of the table.
When a `VMExternRef` is returned to host code from a Wasm function, the host
increments the reference count (because the reference is logically
"borrowed" from the `VMExternRefActivationsTable` and the reference count
from the table will be dropped at the next GC).

This is useful to have to allow resumable_trap to happen in loop
headers, for instance. This is the correct way to implement interrupt
checks in Spidermonkey, which are effectively resumable traps. Previous
implementation was using traps, which is wrong, since traps semantically
can't be resumed after.
This converts an `i32x4` into an `f32x4` with some rounding either by using an AVX512VL/F instruction--VCVTUDQ2PS--or a long sequence of SSE4.1 compatible instructions.
When a load/store instruction needs an address of the form `v0 +
uextend(v1)` or `v0 + sextend(v1)` (or the commuted forms thereof), we
currently generate a separate zero/sign-extend operation and then use a
plain `[rA, rB]` addressing mode. This patch extends `lower_address()`
to look at both addends of an address if it has two addends and a zero
offset, recognize extension operations, and incorporate them directly
into a `[rA, rB, UXTW]` or `[rA, rB, SXTW]` form. This should improve
our performence on WebAssembly workloads, at least, because we often see
a 64-bit linear memory base indexed by a 32-bit (Wasm) pointer value.
When we vendor Cranelift into Firefox, we need to be able to build with
the Firefox CI setup (unless we carry patches on top of upstream).
Unfortunately, the Firefox CI currently appears to build with a slightly
older version of Rust: I can't work out which version exactly, but one
without stable support for `matches!()`.
A recent attempt to version-bump Cranelift failed with build errors at
the two locations in this patch:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/logviewer.html#/jobs?job_id=305994046&repo=autoland&lineNumber=24829
I also see a bunch of uses of `matches!()` in Peepmatic, but those
crates are not built by Firefox, so we can leave them be for now, I
think.
Adds support for addss and subss. This is the first lowering for
sse floating point alu and some move operations. The changes here do
some renaming of data structures and adds a couple of new ones
to support sse specific operations. The work done here will likely
evolve as needed to support an efficient, inituative, and consistent
framework.
* ensure that all const assignments are placed at the end of the sequence.
This minimises live ranges.
* for the non-const assignments, ignore self-assignments. This can
dramatically reduce the total number of moves generated, because any
self-assignments trigger the overlap-case handling, hence invoking the
double-copy behaviour in cases where it's not necessary.
It's worth pointing out that self-assignments are common, and are not due to
deficiencies in CLIR optimisation. Rather, they occur whenever a loop back
edge doesn't modify *all* loop-carried values. This can easily happen if
the loop has multiple "early" back-edges -- "continues" in C parlance. Eg:
loop_header(a, b, c, d, e, f):
...
a_new = ...
b_new = ...
if (..) goto loop_header(a_new, b_new, c, d, e, f)
...
c_new = ...
d_new = ...
if (..) goto loop_header(a_new, b_new, c_new, d_new, e, f)
etc
For functions with many live values, this can dramatically reduce the number
of spill moves we throw into the register allocator.
In terms of compilation costs, this ranges from neutral for functions which
spill not at all, or minimally (joey_small, joey_med) to a 7.1% reduction in
insn count.
In terms of run costs, for one spill-heavy test (bz2 w/ custom timing harness),
instruction counts are reduced by 4.3%, data reads by 12.3% and data writes
by 18.5%. Note those last two figures include all reads and writes made by the
generated code, not just spills/reloads, so the proportional reduction in
spill/reload traffic must be greater.
- Properly mask constant values down to appropriate width when
generating a constant value directly in aarch64 backend. This was a
miscompilation introduced in the new-isel refactor. In combination
with failure to respect NarrowValueMode, this resulted in a very
subtle bug when an `i32` constant was used in bit-twiddling logic.
- Add support for `iadd_ifcout` in aarch64 backend as used in explicit
heap-check mode. With this change, we no longer fail heap-related
tests with the huge-heap-region mode disabled.
- Remove a panic that was occurring in some tests that are currently
ignored on aarch64, by simply returning empty/default information in
`value_label` functionality rather than touching unimplemented APIs.
This is not a bugfix per-se, but removes confusing panic messages from
`cargo test` output that might otherwise mislead.
