This commit implements the `uffd` feature which turns on support for utilizing the `userfaultfd` system call on Linux for the pooling instance allocator. By handling page faults in userland, we are able to detect guard page accesses without having to constantly change memory page protections. This should help reduce the number of syscalls as well as kernel lock contentions when many threads are allocating and deallocating instances. Additionally, the user fault handler can lazy initialize linear memories of an instance (implementation to come).
This is the wasmtime-runtime crate, which contains wasm runtime library
support, supporting the wasm ABI used by wasmtime-environ,
wasmtime-jit, and wasmtime-obj.
This crate does not make a host vs. target distinction; it is meant to be compiled for the target.
Most users will want to use the main wasmtime crate instead of using this
crate directly.
