* [fuzz] Add `Module` enum, refactor `ModuleConfig` This change adds a way to create either a single-instruction module or a regular (big) `wasm-smith` module. It has some slight refactorings in preparation for the use of this new code. * [fuzz] Add `DiffValue` for differential evaluation In order to evaluate functions with randomly-generated values, we needed a common way to generate these values. Using the Wasmtime `Val` type is not great because we would like to be able to implement various traits on the new value type, e.g., to convert `Into` and `From` boxed values of other engines we differentially fuzz against. This new type, `DiffValue`, gives us a common ground for all the conversions and comparisons between the other engine types. * [fuzz] Add interface for differential engines In order to randomly choose an engine to fuzz against, we expect all of the engines to meet a common interface. The traits in this commit allow us to instantiate a module from its binary form, evaluate exported functions, and (possibly) hash the exported items of the instance. This change has some missing pieces, though: - the `wasm-spec-interpreter` needs some work to be able to create instances, evaluate a function by name, and expose exported items - the `v8` engine is not implemented yet due to the complexity of its Rust lifetimes * [fuzz] Use `ModuleFeatures` instead of existing configuration When attempting to use both wasm-smith and single-instruction modules, there is a mismatch in how we communicate what an engine must be able to support. In the first case, we could use the `ModuleConfig`, a wrapper for wasm-smith's `SwarmConfig`, but single-instruction modules do not have a `SwarmConfig`--the many options simply don't apply. Here, we instead add `ModuleFeatures` and adapt a `ModuleConfig` to that. `ModuleFeatures` then becomes the way to communicate what features an engine must support to evaluate functions in a module. * [fuzz] Add a new fuzz target using the meta-differential oracle This change adds the `differential_meta` target to the list of fuzz targets. I expect that sometime soon this could replace the other `differential*` targets, as it almost checks all the things those check. The major missing piece is that currently it only chooses single-instruction modules instead of also generating arbitrary modules using `wasm-smith`. Also, this change adds the concept of an ignorable error: some differential engines will choke with certain inputs (e.g., `wasmi` might have an old opcode mapping) which we do not want to flag as fuzz bugs. Here we wrap those errors in `DiffIgnoreError` and then use a new helper trait, `DiffIgnorable`, to downcast and inspect the `anyhow` error to only panic on non-ignorable errors; the ignorable errors are converted to one of the `arbitrary::Error` variants, which we already ignore. * [fuzz] Compare `DiffValue` NaNs more leniently Because arithmetic NaNs can contain arbitrary payload bits, checking that two differential executions should produce the same result should relax the comparison of the `F32` and `F64` types (and eventually `V128` as well... TODO). This change adds several considerations, however, so that in the future we make the comparison a bit stricter, e.g., re: canonical NaNs. This change, however, just matches the current logic used by other fuzz targets. * review: allow hashing mutate the instance state @alexcrichton requested that the interface be adapted to accommodate Wasmtime's API, in which even reading from an instance could trigger mutation of the store. * review: refactor where configurations are made compatible See @alexcrichton's [suggestion](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/4515#discussion_r928974376). * review: convert `DiffValueType` using `TryFrom` See @alexcrichton's [comment](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/4515#discussion_r928962394). * review: adapt target implementation to Wasmtime-specific RHS This change is joint work with @alexcrichton to adapt the structure of the fuzz target to his comments [here](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/4515#pullrequestreview-1073247791). This change: - removes `ModuleFeatures` and the `Module` enum (for big and small modules) - upgrades `SingleInstModule` to filter out cases that are not valid for a given `ModuleConfig` - adds `DiffEngine::name()` - constructs each `DiffEngine` using a `ModuleConfig`, eliminating `DiffIgnoreError` completely - prints an execution rate to the `differential_meta` target Still TODO: - `get_exported_function_signatures` could be re-written in terms of the Wasmtime API instead `wasmparser` - the fuzzer crashes eventually, we think due to the signal handler interference between OCaml and Wasmtime - the spec interpreter has several cases that we skip for now but could be fuzzed with further work Co-authored-by: Alex Crichton <alex@alexcrichton.com> * fix: avoid SIGSEGV by explicitly initializing OCaml runtime first * review: use Wasmtime's API to retrieve exported functions Co-authored-by: Alex Crichton <alex@alexcrichton.com>
wasmtime
A standalone runtime for WebAssembly
A Bytecode Alliance project
Guide | Contributing | Website | Chat
Installation
The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS with a small install script:
curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
Windows or otherwise interested users can download installers and binaries directly from the GitHub Releases page.
Example
If you've got the Rust compiler installed then you can take some Rust source code:
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
and compile/run it with:
$ rustup target add wasm32-wasi
$ rustc hello.rs --target wasm32-wasi
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello, world!
Features
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code either at runtime or ahead-of-time. Wasmtime's runtime is also optimized for cases such as efficient instantiation, low-overhead transitions between the embedder and wasm, and scalability of concurrent instances.
-
Secure. Wasmtime's development is strongly focused on the correctness of its implementation with 24/7 fuzzing donated by Google's OSS Fuzz, leveraging Rust's API and runtime safety guarantees, careful design of features and APIs through an RFC process, a security policy in place for when things go wrong, and a release policy for patching older versions as well. We follow best practices for defense-in-depth and known protections and mitigations for issues like Spectre. Finally, we're working to push the state-of-the-art by collaborating with academic researchers to formally verify critical parts of Wasmtime and Cranelift.
-
Configurable. Wastime supports a rich set of APIs and build time configuration to provide many options such as further means of restricting WebAssembly beyond its basic guarantees such as its CPU and Memory consumption. Wasmtime also runs in tiny environments all the way up to massive servers with many concurrent instances.
-
WASI. Wasmtime supports a rich set of APIs for interacting with the host environment through the WASI standard.
-
Standards Compliant. Wasmtime passes the official WebAssembly test suite, implements the official C API of wasm, and implements future proposals to WebAssembly as well. Wasmtime developers are intimately engaged with the WebAssembly standards process all along the way too.
