Jakub Konka 95c2addf15 Compile wasi-common to Emscripten (#688)
* Compile wasi-common to Emscripten

This commit enables cross-compiling of `wasi-common` to Emscripten. To achieve
this, this commit does quite a bit reshuffling in the existing codebase. Namely,
* rename `linux` modules in `wasi-common` and `yanix` to `linux_like` -- this is
  needed so that we can separate out logic specific to Linux and Emscripten out
* tweak `dir` module in `yanix` to support Emscripten -- in particular, the main
  change involves `SeekLoc::from_raw` which has to be now host-specific, and is now
  fallible
* tweak `filetime` so that in Emscripten we never check for existence of `utimensat`
  at runtime since we are guaranteed for it to exist by design
* since `utimes` and `futimes` are not present in Emscripten, move them into a separate
  module, `utimesat`, and tag it cfg-non-emscripten only
* finally, `to_timespec` is now fallible since on Emscripten we have to cast number of
  seconds, `FileTime::seconds` from `i64` to `libc::c_long` which resolves to `i32`
  unlike on other nixes

* Fix macos build

* Verify wasi-common compiles to Emscripten

This commit adds `emscripten` job to Github Actions which installs
`wasm32-unknown-emscripten` target, and builds `wasi-common` crate.

* Use #[path] to cherry-pick mods for Emscripten

This commit effectively reverses the reorg introduced in 145f4a5
in that it ditches `linux_like` mod for separate mods `linux` and
`emscripten` which are now on the same crate level, and instead,
pulls in common bits from `linux` using the `#[path = ..]` proc
macro.

wasi-common

A Bytecode Alliance project

A library providing a common implementation of WASI hostcalls for re-use in any WASI-enabled runtime.

Crates.io version Download docs.rs docs

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 socket hostcalls:

  • sock_recv
  • sock_send
  • sock_shutdown

We expect these to be implemented when network access is standardised.

We also currently do not support 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 feature enabled:

cargo test --features test_programs --package test-programs

Third-Party Code

Significant parts of our hostcall implementations are derived from the C implementations in cloudabi-utils. See LICENSE.cloudabi-utils for license information.
