This commit includes a set of changes that add initial support for `wasi-threads` to Wasmtime:
* feat: remove mutability from the WasiCtx Table
This patch adds interior mutability to the WasiCtx Table and the Table elements.
Major pain points:
* `File` only needs `RwLock<cap_std::fs::File>` to implement
`File::set_fdflags()` on Windows, because of [1]
* Because `File` needs a `RwLock` and `RwLock*Guard` cannot
be hold across an `.await`, The `async` from
`async fn num_ready_bytes(&self)` had to be removed
* Because `File` needs a `RwLock` and `RwLock*Guard` cannot
be dereferenced in `pollable`, the signature of
`fn pollable(&self) -> Option<rustix::fd::BorrowedFd>`
changed to `fn pollable(&self) -> Option<Arc<dyn AsFd + '_>>`
[1] da238e324e/src/fs/fd_flags.rs (L210-L217)
* wasi-threads: add an initial implementation
This change is a first step toward implementing `wasi-threads` in
Wasmtime. We may find that it has some missing pieces, but the core
functionality is there: when `wasi::thread_spawn` is called by a running
WebAssembly module, a function named `wasi_thread_start` is found in the
module's exports and called in a new instance. The shared memory of the
original instance is reused in the new instance.
This new WASI proposal is in its early stages and details are still
being hashed out in the [spec] and [wasi-libc] repositories. Due to its
experimental state, the `wasi-threads` functionality is hidden behind
both a compile-time and runtime flag: one must build with `--features
wasi-threads` but also run the Wasmtime CLI with `--wasm-features
threads` and `--wasi-modules experimental-wasi-threads`. One can
experiment with `wasi-threads` by running:
```console
$ cargo run --features wasi-threads -- \
--wasm-features threads --wasi-modules experimental-wasi-threads \
<a threads-enabled module>
```
Threads-enabled Wasm modules are not yet easy to build. Hopefully this
is resolved soon, but in the meantime see the use of
`THREAD_MODEL=posix` in the [wasi-libc] repository for some clues on
what is necessary. Wiggle complicates things by requiring the Wasm
memory to be exported with a certain name and `wasi-threads` also
expects that memory to be imported; this build-time obstacle can be
overcome with the `--import-memory --export-memory` flags only available
in the latest Clang tree. Due to all of this, the included tests are
written directly in WAT--run these with:
```console
$ cargo test --features wasi-threads -p wasmtime-cli -- cli_tests
```
[spec]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-threads
[wasi-libc]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-libc
This change does not protect the WASI implementations themselves from
concurrent access. This is already complete in previous commits or left
for future commits in certain cases (e.g., wasi-nn).
* wasi-threads: factor out process exit logic
As is being discussed [elsewhere], either calling `proc_exit` or
trapping in any thread should halt execution of all threads. The
Wasmtime CLI already has logic for adapting a WebAssembly error code to
a code expected in each OS. This change factors out this logic to a new
function, `maybe_exit_on_error`, for use within the `wasi-threads`
implementation.
This will work reasonably well for CLI users of Wasmtime +
`wasi-threads`, but embedders will want something better in the future:
when a `wasi-threads` threads fails, they may not want their application
to exit. Handling this is tricky, because it will require cancelling the
threads spawned by the `wasi-threads` implementation, something that is
not trivial to do in Rust. With this change, we defer that work until
later in order to provide a working implementation of `wasi-threads` for
experimentation.

* review: work around `fd_fdstat_set_flags`
In order to make progress with wasi-threads, this change temporarily
works around limitations induced by `wasi-common`'s
`fd_fdstat_set_flags` to allow `&mut self` use in the implementation.
Eventual resolution is tracked in
https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/issues/5643. This change
makes several related helper functions (e.g., `set_fdflags`) take `&mut
self` as well.
* test: use `wait`/`notify` to improve `threads.wat` test
Previously, the test simply executed in a loop for some hardcoded number
of iterations. This changes uses `wait` and `notify` and atomic
operations to keep track of when the spawned threads are done and join
on the main thread appropriately.
* various fixes and tweaks due to the PR review

wasi-common
A Bytecode Alliance project
A library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI-enabled runtime.
The wasi-common crate will ultimately serve as a library providing a common implementation of
WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI (and potentially non-WASI) runtimes
such as Wasmtime and Lucet.
The library is an adaption of lucet-wasi crate from the Lucet project, and it is currently based on 40ae1df git revision.
Please note that the library requires Rust compiler version at least 1.37.0.
Supported syscalls
*nix
In our *nix implementation, we currently support the entire WASI API
with the exception of the proc_raise hostcall, as it is expected to
be dropped entirely from WASI.
Windows
In our Windows implementation, we currently support the minimal subset of WASI API which allows for running the very basic "Hello world!" style WASM apps. More coming shortly, so stay tuned!
Development hints
When testing the crate, you may want to enable and run full wasm32 integration testsuite. This
requires wasm32-wasi target installed which can be done as follows using rustup
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
Now, you should be able to run the integration testsuite by running cargo test on the
test-programs package with test-programs/test_programs feature enabled:
cargo test --features test-programs/test_programs --package test-programs
