Alex Crichton cbeec5ddb9 Optimize some functions in the wiggle crate (#5566)
* wiggle: Inline some trivial functions

This commit marks a number of functions in wiggle as `#[inline]` as
they're otherwise trivial, mostly returning constants. This comes out of
some work I looked at recently with Andrew where some of these functions
showed up in profiles when they shouldn't.

* wiggle: Optimize the `GuestMemory` for shared memory

This commit implements a minor optimization to the `GuestMemory`
implementation for Wasmtime to skip most methods if a shared memory is
in play. Shared memories never get borrowed and this can be used to
internally skip some borrow-checker methods.

* wiggle: Optimize `GuestPtr::to_vec`

This commit replaces the safe implementation of `GuestPtr::to_vec` with
an unsafe implementation. The purpose of this is to speed up the
function when used with shared memory which otherwise performs a bunch
of atomic reads for types like `u8` which does validation-per-element
and isn't vectorizable. On a benchmark I was helping Andrew with this
sped up the host code enough to the point that guest code dwarfed the
execution time.

wiggle

Wiggle is a code generator for the host side of a witx interface. It is invoked as a Rust procedural macro.

Wiggle is not specialized to any particular WebAssembly runtime. It is usable in at least Wasmtime and Lucet.

Learning more

Read the docs on docs.rs.

There are child crates for integrating with Wasmtime and Lucet.

The wasi-common crate is implemented using Wiggle and the wasmtime-wasi crate integrates wasi-common with the Wasmtime engine.

Andrew Brown wrote a great blog post on using Wiggle with Wasmtime.
