* Refactor how release notes are managed
This commit updates how Wasmtime manages release notes across released
versions of Wasmtime. One of the most onerous parts about releases right
now is writing release notes in all the locations and making sure
they're all up-to-date and in-sync. This is inevitably forgotten in some
cases and various pieces will slip through the cracks. The basic idea of
this PR is to change our release notes to only document the release
branch that they're on. All historical release notes are relegated to
historical branches.
With this change there's no longer any need to backport or forward-port
release notes for any changes. Instead release notes are written once
on one branch and that's it.
The major downside of this change is that there's no easy way to get a
bird's eye view of all release notes for Wasmtime any more. If necessary
that could theoretically be automated in the future (like
https://releases.rs/), but for now this feels like an acceptable
compromise to make releases much easier.
The contents of this PR are to update `RELEASES.md` with back-links to
historical release notes as well as the various pieces of automation we
have about managing release notes.
* Add more notes about the release process

* Add Android release binaries to CI
This commit is inspired by #6480 and historical asks for Android
binaries. This does the bare minimum necessary to configure C compilers
such that we can produce binaries but I'll admit that I'm no Android
developer myself so I have no idea if these are actually suitable for
use anywhere. Otherwise though this build subsumes the preexisting check
in CI that the build works for Android, so that part is removed too.
This additionally changes how the NDK is managed from before. Previously
a GitHub Action was used to download Java and the NDK and additionally
used the `cargo ndk` subcommand. That's all removed now in favor of
configuring C compilers directly with a pre-installed version of the NDK
which should help reduce the CI dependencies a bit.
* Review comments
* List Android as tier 3 target
* Update Wasmtime's tier stability documentation
Move some items between tiers and add a few misc items here and there.
* Update platform support documentation
Re-word lots of this since it was originally written, link to the tiers
of support page, and rewrite the section on `no_std`.
* Update the `min-platform` example with no_std
This commit updates the preexisting `min-platform` example to no longer
require Nightly Rust and instead use the `no_std` support now added to
Wasmtime. This involved:
* Change the build process to produce a staticlib which is then manually
converted via `cc` into a shared library for the native Linux platform.
* Compile the modules outside of the embedding and only `deserialize`
within the embedding.
* Update the `indexmap` dependency to pick up a bug fix required in
`no_std` mode (apparently, it fails on indexmap@2.0.0 and passes at
2.2.6, I didn't dig much further).
This commit additionally makes the `wasmtime-platform.h` header file
generated by the example a release artifact for Wasmtime itself. The
header itself is touched up a bit by configuring some more `cbindgen`
options as well.

* Use `--locked` on all `cargo install` in CI
Prevents any updates to rustc or crates from accidentally causing issues
by ensuring that the same set of deps is used over time.
* Remove rust/WASI markdown parser example
The documentation referring to this example was removed in #6994 and
that forgot to remove this as well. This example is building without a
lock file which is causing issues in #8368.
* Don't gate on `cargo vet` for PRs
Gate the `cargo vet` step for the merge queue by default but for PRs
don't fail the PR's CI and instead allow entering the queue with a
failing `cargo vet` entry. This should help make it easier to land a
`cargo vet` entry on `main` outside of a PR while not requiring the PR
is rebased.

* Update Wasmtime's policy on `cargo vet`
This was discussed at today's Wasmtime meeting out of some concerns
around our current policies. Namely I felt the current state of affairs
is not striking the right balance between cost and benefit with our
usage of `cargo vet`. After discussion we've reached consensus around
two changes to our `cargo vet` policy documented here in this PR:
* An exemption can be added for "popular crates" at any time with no
review required. This should handle most big crates that are needed
for various dependencies. The thinking behind this is that a
supply-chain attack against these crates is highly likely to be
detected in a short time due to their popularity. Coupled with the
fact that changes to Wasmtime take a minimum of two weeks to get
released means that it's an unlikely exploitation vector.
* Maintainers are recommended to push directly to contributor's PRs for
`cargo vet` entries instead of making separate PRs. This avoids the
need for contributor rebasing and additionally solves the problem
where the `vet` entries land in a separate PR but then the
contributor's PR takes much longer to land. In the interim some `vet`
entries have been cleaned up by accident which requires re-landing the
PR to add the entries.
* Review comments
On a high level, this is what this PR changed:
1. Move the CLI chapter before the API chapter.
I think this makes sense because the CLI is more high-level.
The same change was proposed in
https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/7987.
1. Move some Rust and C examples from the "Examples" chapter into the API chapter.
1. Remove the original main C and Rust chapter introduction files.
They contained mostly outdated or duplicate information.
1. Rename the "Examples" chapter to "Further Examples".
(For lack of a better name.)
1. Rename "Embedding" to "API" at some places since API is a more generally known term.
The term "embedding" is also slightly more confusing, I think,
because the term nowadays also used a lot in LLM-related communication.
1. Read through the entire document and fix some outdated links and information.
1. Fix a missing subheading for Elixir (it was mentioned on the lang page, but not in the menu).
* Clarify some wasm terms in the introduction

* Add a "custom" platform configuration for Wasmtime
This commit leverages adds a new "platform" to Wasmtime to be supported
in the `crates/runtime/src/sys` folder. This joins preexisting platforms
such as Unix and Windows. The goal of this platform is to be an opt-in
way to build Wasmtime for targets that don't have a predefined way to
run.
The new "custom" platform requires `--cfg wasmtime_custom_platform` to
be passed to the Rust compiler, for example by using `RUSTFLAGS`. This
new platform bottoms out in a C API that is intended to be small and
Linux-like. The C API is effectively the interface to virtual memory
that Wasmtime requires. This C API is also available as a header file at
`examples/min-platform/embedding/wasmtime-platform.h` (generated by
`cbindgen`).
The main purpose of this is to make it easier to experiment with porting
Wasmtime to new platforms. By decoupling a platform implementation from
Wasmtime itself it should be possible to run these experiments
out-of-tree. An example of this I've been working on is getting
Wasmtime running on bare-metal with a custom kernel. This support
enables defining the platform interface of the custom kernel's syscalls
outside of Wasmtime.

Move the platform agnostic parts of the crate `wasmtime-jit` to
`wasmtime-environ`. This is the first part of the refactoring discussed

follow up will move the remaining parts of `wasmtime-jit` so that the
crate can be deleted.

* Expand further minimization section of documentation
This commit fills out the page about producing minimal builds a bit
more. The intention here is to provide examples of ideas about how to
reduce size further as well as current limitations and how they can be
evaluated.
* Review comments
* riscv64: Extend distance trampolines can jump
Use a PIC-friendly set of instructions to enable destination of the
trampoline to be more than 4k away from the tail call site of the
trampoline itself.
* Build "min" artifacts on CI
This commit updates the binary artifacts produced by CI to include "min"
builds where all default features are disabled. Additionally all the
stops are pulled in terms of build flags, nightly versions, etc, to get
a build that is as small as possible without actual source code changes.
This effectively codifies the instructions in #7282 into an easily
downloadable artifact.
No new tarballs are created for github releases but instead tarballs
that previously had a `wasmtime` executable for example now have a
`wasmtime-min` executable. Furthermore the C API which previously had
`libwasmtime.so` for example now has `libwasmtime-min.so`. The intention
is that the minimum-size artifacts are handy for determining a rough
size of Wasmtime but they're not so important that it seems worthwhile
to dedicate entire release entries for.
CI is refactored to support these minimum builds with separate builders.
This means that a single tarball produced as a final result is actually
two separate tarballs merged together, one for the normal build we do
today plus a new "min" tarball produced on the new "min" builders.
Various scripts and CI organization has been adjusted accordingly.
While here I went ahead and enabled `panic=abort` and debuginfo
stripping in our current release artifacts. While this doesn't affect a
whole lot it's less to upload to GitHub Actions all the time.
* Fix Windows unzip
This commit changes the `--dir` argument on the `wasmtime` CLI to be
`HOST::GUEST` rather than `GUEST::HOST`. This matches Docker for example
and is a little more consistent with only `--dir path` where the first
argument is always treated as a host directory.
In terms of breaking-ness the movement from `--mapdir` to `--dir` hasn't
been released with Wasmtime 14 yet so my hope is that this can land on
both `main` and Wasmtime 14.0.0 before it's released to avoid any
breakage other than existing scripts migrating from `--mapdir` to
`--dir`.
* Move `wasmtime explore` behind a Cargo feature
Enable this Cargo feature by default, but enable building the CLI
without the `explore` subcommand.
* Move the `wast` subcommand behind a Cargo feature
* Move support for `wat` behind a CLI feature
This was already conditional in crates such as `wasmtime` and this makes
it an optional dependency of the CLI as well.
* Move CLI cache support behind a Cargo feature
Additionally refactor `wasmtime-cli-flags` to not unconditionally pull
in caching support by removing its `default` feature and appropriately
enabling it from the CLI.
* Move `rayon` behind an optional feature
* Move `http-body-util` dependency behind `serve` feature
* Add a Cargo feature for compiling out log statements
This sets the static features of `log` and `tracing` to statically
remove all log statements from the binary to cut down on binary size.
* Move logging support behind a Cargo feature
Enables statically removing logging support in addition to the previous
compiling out log statements themselves.
* Move demangling support behind a Cargo feature
* Enable building the CLI without cranelift
Compile out the `compile` subcommand for example.
* Gate all profiling support behind one feature flag
This commit moves vtune/jitdump support behind a single `profiling`
feature flag that additionally includes the guest profiler dependencies
now too.
* Move support for core dumps behind a feature flag
* Move addr2line behind a feature

* Update lock file after rebase
* Enable coredump feature by default
* Redesign Wasmtime's CLI
This commit follows through on discussion from #6741 to redesign the
flags that the `wasmtime` binary accepts on the CLI. Almost all flags
have been renamed/moved and will require callers to update. The main
motivation here is to cut down on the forest of options in `wasmtime -h`
which are difficult to mentally group together and understand.
The main change implemented here is to move options behind "option
groups" which are intended to be abbreviated with a single letter:
* `-O foo` - an optimization or performance-tuning related option
* `-C foo` - a codegen option affecting the compilation process.
* `-D foo` - a debug-related option
* `-W foo` - a wasm-related option, for example changing wasm semantics
* `-S foo` - a WASI-related option, configuring various proposals for example
Each option group can be explored by passing `help`, for example `-O
help`. This will print all options within the group along with their
help message. Additionally `-O help-long` can be passed to print the
full comment for each option if desired.
Option groups can be specified multiple times on the command line, for
example `-Wrelaxed-simd -Wthreads`. They can also be combined together
with commas as `-Wrelaxed-simd,threads`. Configuration works as a "last
option wins" so `-Ccache,cache=n` would end up with a compilation
cache disabled.
Boolean options can be specified as `-C foo` to enable `foo`, or they
can be specified with `-Cfoo=$val` with any of `y`, `n`, `yes`, `no`,
`true`, or `false`. All other options require a `=foo` value to be
passed and the parsing depends on the type.
This commit additionally applies a few small refactorings to the CLI as
well. For example the help text no longer prints information about wasm
features after printing the option help. This is still available via
`-Whelp` as all wasm features have moved from `--wasm-features` to `-W`.
Additionally flags are no longer conditionally compiled in, but instead
all flags are always supported. A runtime error is returned if support
for a flag is not compiled in. Additionally the "experimental" name of
WASI proposals has been dropped in favor of just the name of the
proposal, for example `--wasi nn` instead of `--wasi-modules
experimental-wasi-nn`. This is intended to mirror how wasm proposals
don't have "experimental" in the name and an opt-in is required
regardless.

* Remove tutorial/wasm-writing documentation
This commit removes the tutorial and "Writing WebAssembly" documentation
sections from Wasmtime's documentation. These sections are quite dated
at this point (they still recommend `cargo wasi`!) and haven't been
updated much since their inception, especially in the arena of
components. Today it seems best to leave this sort of documentation to
[other resources] which are more tailored towards documentation of
writing wasm.
[other resources]: https://component-model.bytecodealliance.org/
* Remove markdown example from docs
Like the previous commit this is quite dated and recommends
effectively-deprecated tooling and doesn't take into account components.
* Update our intro docs a bit
* Link security blog post from docs
* Fold docs of wasm proposals into tier docs
This was already a bit duplicated so consolidate into one location.
Additionally add some proposals that weren't previously documented and
move some around based on their implementation status.
* Document unsupported features
In an effort to head off questions about platform support I figure it
might be a good idea to start documenting what's not supported at this
time. This is intended to mirror the current state, not future, of
Wasmtime. In other words this should answer the question of "Does
Wasmtime support X?" as opposed to "Does Wasmtime want to support X?"
since we want to eventually support all of these features in the limit.
* Fold WASI docs into tier docs
Similar to the previous commit but for WASI proposals.
While this is not at all WASM-specific, it is somewhat rare that
LLDB is used for native debugging on Windows, so the cause of
the slowdown on the order of 50x may not be immediately obvious.
* Update Rust in CI to 1.72.0
* Update CI, tooling, and docs for MSRV
This commit codifies an MSRV policy for Wasmtime at "stable minus two"
meaning that the latest three releases of Rust will be supported. This
is enforced on CI with a full test suite job running on Linux x86_64
with the minimum supported Rust version. The full test suite will use
the latest stable version. A downside of this approach is that new
changes may break MSRV support on non-Linux or non-x86_64 platforms and
we won't know about it, but that's deemed a minor enough risk at this
time.
A minor fix is applied to Wasmtime's `Cargo.toml` to support Rust 1.70.0
instead of requiring Rust 1.71.0
* Fix installation of rust
* Scrape MSRV from Cargo.toml
* Cranelift is the same as Wasmtime's MSRV now, more words too
* Fix a typo
* wmemcheck: update docs.
This PR expands the documentation for the Wasm memchecker (`wmemcheck`)
feature significantly, and also links it from the top-level
documentation hierarchy.
* Add syntax/language annotations to quotation sections to keep mdbook happy.
