This PR switches the default backend on x86, for both the `cranelift-codegen` crate and for Wasmtime, to the new (`MachInst`-style, `VCode`-based) backend that has been under development and testing for some time now. The old backend is still available by default in builds with the `old-x86-backend` feature, or by requesting `BackendVariant::Legacy` from the appropriate APIs. As part of that switch, it adds some more runtime-configurable plumbing to the testing infrastructure so that tests can be run using the appropriate backend. `clif-util test` is now capable of parsing a backend selector option from filetests and instantiating the correct backend. CI has been updated so that the old x86 backend continues to run its tests, just as we used to run the new x64 backend separately. At some point, we will remove the old x86 backend entirely, once we are satisfied that the new backend has not caused any unforeseen issues and we do not need to revert.
cargo fuzz Targets for Wasmtime
This crate defines various libFuzzer
fuzzing targets for Wasmtime, which can be run via cargo fuzz.
These fuzz targets just glue together pre-defined test case generators with
oracles and pass libFuzzer-provided inputs to them. The test case generators and
oracles themselves are independent from the fuzzing engine that is driving the
fuzzing process and are defined in wasmtime/crates/fuzzing.
Example
To start fuzzing run the following command, where $MY_FUZZ_TARGET is one of
the available fuzz targets:
cargo fuzz run $MY_FUZZ_TARGET
Available Fuzz Targets
At the time of writing, we have the following fuzz targets:
compile: Attempt to compile libFuzzer's raw input bytes with Wasmtime.instantiate: Attempt to compile and instantiate libFuzzer's raw input bytes with Wasmtime.instantiate_translated: Pass libFuzzer's input bytes towasm-opt -ttfto generate a random, valid Wasm module, and then attempt to instantiate it.
The canonical list of fuzz targets is the .rs files in the fuzz_targets
directory:
ls wasmtime/fuzz/fuzz_targets/
Corpora
While you can start from scratch, libFuzzer will work better if it is given a corpus of seed inputs to kick start the fuzzing process. We maintain a corpus for each of these fuzz targets in a dedicated repo on github.
You can use our corpora by cloning it and placing it at wasmtime/fuzz/corpus:
