Alex Crichton d82ebcc102 x64: Enable load-coalescing for SSE/AVX instructions (#5841)
* x64: Enable load-coalescing for SSE/AVX instructions

This commit unlocks the ability to fold loads into operands of SSE and
AVX instructions. This is beneficial for both function size when it
happens in addition to being able to reduce register pressure.
Previously this was not done because most SSE instructions require
memory to be aligned. AVX instructions, however, do not have alignment
requirements.

The solution implemented here is one recommended by Chris which is to
add a new `XmmMemAligned` newtype wrapper around `XmmMem`. All SSE
instructions are now annotated as requiring an `XmmMemAligned` operand
except for a new new instruction styles used specifically for
instructions that don't require alignment (e.g.  `movdqu`, `*sd`, and
`*ss` instructions). All existing instruction helpers continue to take
`XmmMem`, however. This way if an AVX lowering is chosen it can be used
as-is. If an SSE lowering is chosen, however, then an automatic
conversion from `XmmMem` to `XmmMemAligned` kicks in. This automatic
conversion only fails for unaligned addresses in which case a load
instruction is emitted and the operand becomes a temporary register
instead. A number of prior `Xmm` arguments have now been converted to
`XmmMem` as well.

One change from this commit is that loading an unaligned operand for an
SSE instruction previously would use the "correct type" of load, e.g.
`movups` for f32x4 or `movup` for f64x2, but now the loading happens in
a context without type information so the `movdqu` instruction is
generated. According to [this stack overflow question][question] it
looks like modern processors won't penalize this "wrong" choice of type
when the operand is then used for f32 or f64 oriented instructions.

Finally this commit improves some reuse of logic in the `put_in_*_mem*`
helper to share code with `sinkable_load` and avoid duplication. With
this in place some various ISLE rules have been updated as well.

In the tests it can be seen that AVX-instructions are now automatically
load-coalesced and use memory operands in a few cases.

* Fix tests

* Fix move-and-extend to be unaligned

These don't have alignment requirements like other xmm instructions as
well. Additionally add some ISA tests to ensure that their output is
tested.

Installation

The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS (locally) 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 is optimized for efficient instantiation, low-overhead calls between the embedder and wasm, and scalability of concurrent instances.

  • Secure. Wasmtime's development is strongly focused on correctness and security. Building on top of Rust's runtime safety guarantees, each Wasmtime feature goes through careful review and consideration via an RFC process. Once features are designed and implemented, they undergo 24/7 fuzzing donated by Google's OSS Fuzz. As features stabilize they become part of a release, and when things go wrong we have a well-defined security policy in place to quickly mitigate and patch any issues. We follow best practices for defense-in-depth and integrate 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. Wasmtime uses sensible defaults, but can also be configured to provide more fine-grained control over things like CPU and memory consumption. Whether you want to run Wasmtime in a tiny environment or on massive servers with many concurrent instances, we've got you covered.

  • 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.

Language Support

You can use Wasmtime from a variety of different languages through embeddings of the implementation.
