* Panic on resetting image slots back to anonymous memory
This commit updates `Drop for MemoryImageSlot` to panic instead of
ignoring errors when resetting memory back to a clean slate. On reading
some of this code again for a different change I realized that if an
error happens in `reset_with_anon_memory` it would be possible,
depending on where another error happened, to leak memory from one image
to another.
For example if `clear_and_remain_ready` failed its `madvise` (for
whatever reason) and didn't actually reset any memory, then if `Drop for
MemoryImageSlot` also hit an error trying to remap memory (for whatever
reason), then nothing about memory has changed and when the
`MemoryImageSlot` is recreated it'll think that it's 0-length when
actually it's a bit larger and may leak data.
I don't think this is a serious problem since we don't know any
situation under which the `madvise` would fail and/or the resetting with
anonymous memory, but given that these aren't expected to fail I figure
it's best to be a bit more defensive here and/or loud about failures.
* Update a comment
* Enable copy-on-write heap initialization by default
This commit enables the `Config::memfd` feature by default now that it's
been fuzzed for a few weeks on oss-fuzz, and will continue to be fuzzed
leading up to the next release of Wasmtime in early March. The
documentation of the `Config` option has been updated as well as adding
a CLI flag to disable the feature.
* Remove ubiquitous "memfd" terminology
Switch instead to forms of "memory image" or "cow" or some combination
thereof.
* Update new option names
* Port fix for `CVE-2022-23636` to `main`.
This commit ports the fix for `CVE-2022-23636` to `main`, but performs a
refactoring that makes it unnecessary for the instance itself to track if it
has been initialized; such a change was not targeted enough for a security
patch.
The pooling allocator will now only initialize an instance if all of its
associated resource creation succeeds. If the resource creation fails, no
instance is dropped as none was initialized.
Also updates `RELEASES.md` to include the related patch releases.
* Add `Instance::new_at` to fully initialize an instance.
Added `Instance::new_at` to fully initialize an instance at a given address.
This will hopefully prevent the possibility that an `Instance` structure
doesn't have an initialized `VMContext` when it is dropped.
* Shrink the size of `FuncData`
Before this commit on a 64-bit system the `FuncData` type had a size of
88 bytes and after this commit it has a size of 32 bytes. A `FuncData`
is required for all host functions in a store, including those inserted
from a `Linker` into a store used during linking. This means that
instantiation ends up creating a nontrivial number of these types and
pushing them into the store. Looking at some profiles there were some
surprisingly expensive movements of `FuncData` from the stack to a
vector for moves-by-value generated by Rust. Shrinking this type enables
more efficient code to be generated and additionally means less storage
is needed in a store's function array.
For instantiating the spidermonkey and rustpython modules this improves
instantiation by 10% since they each import a fair number of host
functions and the speedup here is relative to the number of items
imported.
* Use `ptr::copy_nonoverlapping` during initialization
Prevoiusly `ptr::copy` was used for copying imports into place which
translates to `memmove`, but `ptr::copy_nonoverlapping` can be used here
since it's statically known these areas don't overlap. While this
doesn't end up having a performance difference it's something I kept
noticing while looking at the disassembly of `initialize_vmcontext` so I
figured I'd go ahead and implement.
* Indirect shared signature ids in the VMContext
This commit is a small improvement for the instantiation time of modules
by avoiding copying a list of `VMSharedSignatureIndex` entries into each
`VMContext`, instead building one inside of a module and sharing that
amongst all instances. This involves less lookups at instantiation time
and less movement of data during instantiation. The downside is that
type-checks on `call_indirect` now involve an additionally load, but I'm
assuming that these are somewhat pessimized enough as-is that the
runtime impact won't be much there.
For instantiation performance this is a 5-10% win with
rustpyhon/spidermonky instantiation. This should also reduce the size of
each `VMContext` for an instantiation since signatures are no longer
stored inline but shared amongst all instances with one module.
Note that one subtle change here is that the array of
`VMSharedSignatureIndex` was previously indexed by `TypeIndex`, and now
it's indexed by `SignaturedIndex` which is a deduplicated form of
`TypeIndex`. This is done because we already had a list of those lying
around in `Module`, so it was easier to reuse that than to build a
separate array and store it somewhere.
* Reserve space in `Store<T>` with `InstancePre`
This commit updates the instantiation process to reserve space in a
`Store<T>` for the functions that an `InstancePre<T>`, as part of
instantiation, will insert into it. Using an `InstancePre<T>` to
instantiate allows pre-computing the number of host functions that will
be inserted into a store, and by pre-reserving space we can avoid costly
reallocations during instantiation by ensuring the function vector has
enough space to fit everything during the instantiation process.
Overall this makes instantiation of rustpython/spidermonkey about 8%
faster locally.
* Fix tests
* Use checked arithmetic
* Skip memfd creation with precompiled modules
This commit updates the memfd support internally to not actually use a
memfd if a compiled module originally came from disk via the
`wasmtime::Module::deserialize_file` API. In this situation we already
have a file descriptor open and there's no need to copy a module's heap
image to a new file descriptor.
To facilitate a new source of `mmap` the currently-memfd-specific-logic
of creating a heap image is generalized to a new form of
`MemoryInitialization` which is attempted for all modules at
module-compile-time. This means that the serialized artifact to disk
will have the memory image in its entirety waiting for us. Furthermore
the memory image is ensured to be padded and aligned carefully to the
target system's page size, notably meaning that the data section in the
final object file is page-aligned and the size of the data section is
also page aligned.
This means that when a precompiled module is mapped from disk we can
reuse the underlying `File` to mmap all initial memory images. This
means that the offset-within-the-memory-mapped-file can differ for
memfd-vs-not, but that's just another piece of state to track in the
memfd implementation.
In the limit this waters down the term "memfd" for this technique of
quickly initializing memory because we no longer use memfd
unconditionally (only when the backing file isn't available).
This does however open up an avenue in the future to porting this
support to other OSes because while `memfd_create` is Linux-specific
both macOS and Windows support mapping a file with copy-on-write. This
porting isn't done in this PR and is left for a future refactoring.
Closes#3758
* Enable "memfd" support on all unix systems
Cordon off the Linux-specific bits and enable the memfd support to
compile and run on platforms like macOS which have a Linux-like `mmap`.
This only works if a module is mapped from a precompiled module file on
disk, but that's better than not supporting it at all!
* Fix linux compile

* Use a named struct instead of mysterious tuples

* Fix tests
* Fix uffd compile
* Always align data segments

* Update comment in build.rs
* Use rustix, not `region`
* Fix some confusing logic/names around memory indexes
These functions all work with memory indexes, not specifically defined
memory indexes.
During instance initialization, we build two sorts of arrays eagerly:
- We create an "anyfunc" (a `VMCallerCheckedAnyfunc`) for every function
in an instance.
- We initialize every element of a funcref table with an initializer to
a pointer to one of these anyfuncs.
Most instances will not touch (via call_indirect or table.get) all
funcref table elements. And most anyfuncs will never be referenced,
because most functions are never placed in tables or used with
`ref.func`. Thus, both of these initialization tasks are quite wasteful.
Profiling shows that a significant fraction of the remaining
instance-initialization time after our other recent optimizations is
going into these two tasks.
This PR implements two basic ideas:
- The anyfunc array can be lazily initialized as long as we retain the
information needed to do so. For now, in this PR, we just recreate the
anyfunc whenever a pointer is taken to it, because doing so is fast
enough; in the future we could keep some state to know whether the
anyfunc has been written yet and skip this work if redundant.
This technique allows us to leave the anyfunc array as uninitialized
memory, which can be a significant savings. Filling it with
initialized anyfuncs is very expensive, but even zeroing it is
expensive: e.g. in a large module, it can be >500KB.
- A funcref table can be lazily initialized as long as we retain a link
to its corresponding instance and function index for each element. A
zero in a table element means "uninitialized", and a slowpath does the
initialization.
Funcref tables are a little tricky because funcrefs can be null. We need
to distinguish "element was initially non-null, but user stored explicit
null later" from "element never touched" (ie the lazy init should not
blow away an explicitly stored null). We solve this by stealing the LSB
from every funcref (anyfunc pointer): when the LSB is set, the funcref
is initialized and we don't hit the lazy-init slowpath. We insert the
bit on storing to the table and mask it off after loading.
We do have to set up a precomputed array of `FuncIndex`s for the table
in order for this to work. We do this as part of the module compilation.
This PR also refactors the way that the runtime crate gains access to
information computed during module compilation.

```
So an improvement of something like 80-95% for a very large module (7420
functions in its one funcref table, 31928 functions total).
This commit corrects a few places where `MemoryIndex` was used and treated like
a `DefinedMemoryIndex` in the pooling instance allocator.
When the unstable `multi-memory` proposal is enabled, it is possible to cause a
newly allocated instance to use an incorrect base address for any defined
memories by having the module being instantiated also import a memory.
This requires enabling the unstable `multi-memory` proposal, configuring the
use of the pooling instance allocator (not the default), and then configuring
the module limits to allow imported memories (also not the default).
The fix is to replace all uses of `MemoryIndex` with `DefinedMemoryIndex` in
the pooling instance allocator.
Several `debug_assert!` have also been updated to `assert!` to sanity check the
state of the pooling allocator even in release builds.
We currently skip some tests when running our qemu-based tests for
aarch64 and s390x. Qemu has broken madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) semantics --
specifically, it just ignores madvise() [1].
We could continue to whack-a-mole the tests whenever we create new
functionality that relies on madvise() semantics, but ideally we'd just
have emulation that properly emulates!
The earlier discussions on the qemu mailing list [2] had a proposed
patch for this, but (i) this patch doesn't seem to apply cleanly anymore
(it's 3.5 years old) and (ii) it's pretty complex due to the need to
handle qemu's ability to emulate differing page sizes on host and guest.
It turns out that we only really need this for CI when host and guest
have the same page size (4KiB), so we *could* just pass the madvise()s
through. I wouldn't expect such a patch to ever land upstream in qemu,
but it satisfies our needs I think. So this PR modifies our CI setup to
patch qemu before building it locally with a little one-off patch.

* Consolidate methods of memory initialization
This commit consolidates the few locations that we have which are
performing memory initialization. Namely the uffd logic for creating
paged memory as well as the memfd logic for creating a memory image now
share an implementation to avoid duplicating bounds-checks or other
validation conditions. The main purpose of this commit is to fix a
fuzz-bug where a multiplication overflowed. The overflow itself was
benign but it seemed better to fix the overflow in only one place
instead of multiple.
The overflow in question is specifically when an initializer is checked
to be statically out-of-bounds and multiplies a memory's minimum size by
the wasm page size, returning the result as a `u64`. For
memory64-memories of size `1 << 48` this multiplication will overflow.
This was actually a preexisting bug with the `try_paged_init` function
which was copied for memfd, but cropped up here since memfd is used more
often than paged initialization. The fix here is to skip validation of
the `end` index if the size of memory is `1 << 64` since if the `end`
index can be represented as a `u64` then it's in-bounds. This is
somewhat of an esoteric case, though, since a memory of minimum size `1
<< 64` can't ever exist (we can't even ask the os for that much memory,
and even if we could it would fail).
* Fix memfd test
* Fix some tests
* Remove InitMemory enum
* Add an `is_segmented` helper method
* More clear variable name
* Make arguments to `init_memory` more descriptive
This fixes a bug in the memfd-related management of a linear memory
where for dynamic memories memfd wasn't informed of the extra room that
the dynamic memory could grow into, only the actual size of linear
memory, which ended up tripping an assert once the memory was grown. The
fix here is pretty simple which is to factor in this extra space when
passing the allocation size to the creation of the `MemFdSlot`.
* Tweak memfd-related features crates
This commit changes the `memfd` feature for the `wasmtime-cli` crate
from an always-on feature to a default-on feature which can be disabled
at compile time. Additionally the `pooling-allocator` feature is also
given similar treatment.
Additionally some documentation was added for the `memfd` feature on the
`wasmtime` crate.
* Don't store `Arc<T>` in `InstanceAllocationRequest`
Instead store `&Arc<T>` to avoid having the clone that lives in
`InstanceAllocationRequest` not actually going anywhere. Otherwise all
instance allocation requires an extra clone to create it for the request
and an extra decrement when the request goes away. Internally clones are
made as necessary when creating instances.
* Enable the pooling allocator by default for `wasmtime-cli`
While perhaps not the most useful option since the CLI doesn't have a
great way to take advantage of this it probably makes sense to at least
match the features of `wasmtime` itself.
* Fix some lints and issues
* More compile fixes
* memfd: Reduce some syscalls in the on-demand case
This tweaks the internal organization of the `MemFdSlot` to avoid some
syscalls in the default case as well as opportunistically in the pooling
case. The two cases added here are:
* A `MemFdSlot` is now created with a specified initial size. For
pooling this is 0 but for the on-demand case this can be non-zero.
* When `instantiate` is called with no prior image and the sizes match
(as will be the case for on-demand allocation) then `mprotect` is
skipped entirely.
* In the `clear_and_remain-ready` case the `mprotect` is skipped if the
heap wasn't grown at all.
This should avoid ever using `mprotect` unnecessarily and makes the
ranges we `mprotect` a bit smaller as well.
* Review comments
* Tweak allow to apply to whole crate
This policy attempts to reuse the same instance slot for subsequent
instantiations of the same module. This is particularly useful when
using a pooling backend such as memfd that benefits from this reuse: for
example, in the memfd case, instantiating the same module into the same
slot allows us to avoid several calls to mmap() because the same
mappings can be reused.
The policy tracks a freelist per "compiled module ID", and when
allocating a slot for an instance, tries these three options in order:
1. A slot from the freelist for this module (i.e., last used for another
instantiation of this particular module), or
3. A slot that was last used by some other module or never before.
The "victim" slot for choice 2 is randomly chosen.
The data structures are carefully designed so that all updates are O(1),
and there is no retry-loop in any of the random selection.
This policy is now the default when the memfd backend is selected via
the `memfd-allocator` feature flag.
Following up on #3696, use the new is-terminal crate to test for a tty
rather than having platform-specific logic in Wasmtime. The is-terminal
crate has a platform-independent API which takes a handle.
This also updates the tree to cap-std 0.24 etc., to avoid depending on
multiple versions of io-lifetimes at once, as enforced by the cargo deny
check.
Testing so far with recent Wasmtime has not been able to show the need
for avoiding the process-wide mmap lock in real-world use-cases. As
such, the technique of using an anonymous file and ftruncate() to extend
it seems unnecessary; instead, memfd can always use anonymous zeroed
memory for heap backing where the CoW image is not present, and
mprotect() to extend the heap limit by changing page protections.
As first suggested by Jan on the Zulip here [1], a cheap and effective
way to obtain copy-on-write semantics of a "backing image" for a Wasm
memory is to mmap a file with `MAP_PRIVATE`. The `memfd` mechanism
provided by the Linux kernel allows us to create anonymous,
in-memory-only files that we can use for this mapping, so we can
construct the image contents on-the-fly then effectively create a CoW
overlay. Furthermore, and importantly, `madvise(MADV_DONTNEED, ...)`
will discard the CoW overlay, returning the mapping to its original
state.
By itself this is almost enough for a very fast
instantiation-termination loop of the same image over and over,
without changing the address space mapping at all (which is
expensive). The only missing bit is how to implement
heap *growth*. But here memfds can help us again: if we create another
anonymous file and map it where the extended parts of the heap would
go, we can take advantage of the fact that a `mmap()` mapping can
be *larger than the file itself*, with accesses beyond the end
generating a `SIGBUS`, and the fact that we can cheaply resize the
file with `ftruncate`, even after a mapping exists. So we can map the
"heap extension" file once with the maximum memory-slot size and grow
the memfd itself as `memory.grow` operations occur.
The above CoW technique and heap-growth technique together allow us a
fastpath of `madvise()` and `ftruncate()` only when we re-instantiate
the same module over and over, as long as we can reuse the same
slot. This fastpath avoids all whole-process address-space locks in
the Linux kernel, which should mean it is highly scalable. It also
avoids the cost of copying data on read, as the `uffd` heap backend
does when servicing pagefaults; the kernel's own optimized CoW
logic (same as used by all file mmaps) is used instead.

* Don't copy `VMBuiltinFunctionsArray` into each `VMContext`
This is another PR along the lines of "let's squeeze all possible
performance we can out of instantiation". Before this PR we would copy,
by value, the contents of `VMBuiltinFunctionsArray` into each
`VMContext` allocated. This array of function pointers is modestly-sized
but growing over time as we add various intrinsics. Additionally it's
the exact same for all `VMContext` allocations.
This PR attempts to speed up instantiation slightly by instead storing
an indirection to the function array. This means that calling a builtin
intrinsic is a tad bit slower since it requires two loads instead of one
(one to get the base pointer, another to get the actual address).
Otherwise though `VMContext` initialization is now simply setting one
pointer instead of doing a `memcpy` from one location to another.
With some macro-magic this commit also replaces the previous
implementation with one that's more `const`-friendly which also gets us
compile-time type-checks of libcalls as well as compile-time
verification that all libcalls are defined.
Overall, as with #3739, the win is very modest here. Locally I measured
a speedup from 1.9us to 1.7us taken to instantiate an empty module with
one function. While small at these scales it's still a 10% improvement!
* Review comments
This commit updates the allocation of a `VMExternRefActivationsTable`
structure to perform zero malloc memory allocations. Previously it would
allocate a page-size of `chunk` plus some space in hash sets for future
insertions. The main trick here implemented is that after the first gc
during the slow path the fast chunk allocation is allocated and
configured.
The motivation for this PR is that given our recent work to further
refine and optimize the instantiation process this allocation started to
show up in a nontrivial fashion. Most modules today never touch this
table anyway as almost none of them use reference types, so the time
spent allocation and deallocating the table per-store was largely wasted
time.
Concretely on a microbenchmark this PR speeds up instantiation of a
module with one function by 30%, decreasing the instantiation cost from
1.8us to 1.2us. Overall a pretty minor win but when the instantiation
times we're measuring start being in the single-digit microseconds this
win ends up getting magnified!
When we GC, we assert the invariant that all `externref`s we find on the stack
have a corresponding entry in the `VMExternRefActivationsTable`. However, we
also might be in code that is in the process of fixing up this invariant and
adding an entry to the table, but the table's bump chunk is full, and so we do a
GC and then add the entry into the table. This will ultimately maintain our
desired invariant, but there is a moment in time when we are doing the GC where
the invariant is relaxed which is okay because the reference will be in the
table before we return to Wasm or do anything else. This isn't a possible UAF,
in other words. To make it so that the assertion won't trip, we explicitly
insert the reference into the table *before* we GC, so that the invariant is not
relaxed across a possibly-GCing operation (even though it would be safe in this
particular case).
`ptr::cast` has the advantage of being unable to silently cast
`*const T` to `*mut T`. This turned up several places that were
performing such casts, which this PR also fixes.
This PR introduces a new way of performing cooperative timeslicing that
is intended to replace the "fuel" mechanism. The tradeoff is that this
mechanism interrupts with less precision: not at deterministic points
where fuel runs out, but rather when the Engine enters a new epoch. The
generated code instrumentation is substantially faster, however, because
it does not need to do as much work as when tracking fuel; it only loads
the global "epoch counter" and does a compare-and-branch at backedges
and function prologues.
This change has been measured as ~twice as fast as fuel-based
timeslicing for some workloads, especially control-flow-intensive
workloads such as the SpiderMonkey JS interpreter on Wasm/WASI.
The intended interface is that the embedder of the `Engine` performs an
`engine.increment_epoch()` call periodically, e.g. once per millisecond.
An async invocation of a Wasm guest on a `Store` can specify a number of
epoch-ticks that are allowed before an async yield back to the
executor's event loop. (The initial amount and automatic "refills" are
configured on the `Store`, just as for fuel.) This call does only
signal-safe work (it increments an `AtomicU64`) so could be invoked from
a periodic signal, or from a thread that wakes up once per period.
* Update to cap-std 0.22.0.
The main change relevant to Wasmtime here is that this includes the
rustix fix for compilation errors on Rust nightly with the `asm!` macro.
* Add itoa to deny.toml.
* Update the doc and fuzz builds to the latest Rust nightly.
* Update to libc 0.2.112 to pick up the `POLLRDHUP` fix.
* Update to cargo-fuzz 0.11, for compatibility with Rust nightly.
This appears to be the fix for rust-fuzz/cargo-fuzz#277.
This pulls in a fix for Android, where Android's seccomp policy on older
versions is to make `openat2` irrecoverably crash the process, so we have
to do a version check up front rather than relying on `ENOSYS` to
determine if `openat2` is supported.
And it pulls in the fix for the link errors when multiple versions of
rsix/rustix are linked in.
And it has updates for two crate renamings: rsix has been renamed to
rustix, and unsafe-io has been renamed to io-extras.
This commit adds the `pooling-allocator` feature to both the `wasmtime` and
`wasmtime-runtime` crates.
The feature controls whether or not the pooling allocator implementation is
built into the runtime and exposed as a supported instance allocation strategy
in the wasmtime API.
The feature is on by default for the `wasmtime` crate.
Closes#3513.
* Add a configuration option to force "static" memories
In poking around at some things earlier today I realized that one
configuration option for memories we haven't exposed from embeddings
like the CLI is to forcibly limit the size of memory growth and force
using a static memory style. This means that the CLI, for example, can't
limit memory growth by default and memories are only limited in size by
what the OS can give and the wasm's own memory type. This configuration
option means that the CLI can artificially limit the size of wasm linear
memories.
Additionally another motivation for this is for testing out various
codegen ramifications of static/dynamic memories. This is the only way
to force a static memory, by default, for wasm64 memories with no
maximum size listed for example.
* Review feedback
* Adjust dependency directives between crates
This commit is a preparation for the release process for Wasmtime. The
specific changes here are to delineate which crates are "public", and
all version requirements on non-public crates will now be done with
`=A.B.C` version requirements instead of today's `A.B.C` version
requirements.
The purpose for doing this is to assist with patch releases that might
happen in the future. Patch releases of wasmtime are already required to
not break the APIs of "public" crates, but no such guarantee is given
about "internal" crates. This means that a patch release runs the risk,
for example, of breaking an internal API. In doing so though we would
also need to release a new major version of the internal crate, but we
wouldn't have a great hole in the number scheme of major versions to do
so. By using `=A.B.C` requirements for internal crates it means we can
safely ignore strict semver-compatibility between releases of internal
crates for patch releases, since the only consumers of the crate will be
the corresponding patch release of the `wasmtime` crate itself (or other
public crates).
The `publish.rs` script has been updated with a check to verify that
dependencies on internal crates are all specified with an `=`
dependency, and dependnecies on all public crates are without a `=`
dependency. This will hopefully make it so we don't have to worry about
what to use where, we just let CI tell us what to do. Using this
modification all version dependency declarations have been updated.
Note that some crates were adjusted to simply remove their `version`
requirement in cases such as the crate wasn't published anyway (`publish
= false` was specified) or it's in the `dev-dependencies` section which
doesn't need version specifiers for path dependencies.
* Switch to normal sever deps for cranelift dependencies
These crates will now all be considered "public" where in patch releases
they will be guaranteed to not have breaking changes.
