cfallin requested alexcrichton and abrown for a review on PR #2486.
cfallin opened PR #2486 from fix-probestack
to main
:
Lucet uses stack probes rather than explicit stack limit checks as
Wasmtime does. In bytecodealliance/lucet#616, I have discovered that I
previously was not running some Lucet runtime tests with the new
backend, so was missing some test failures due to missing pieces in the
new backend.This PR adds (i) calls to probestack, when enabled, in the prologue of
every function with a stack frame larger than one page (configurable via
flags); and (ii) trap metadata for every instruction on x86-64 that can
access the stack, hence be the first point at which a stack overflow is
detected when the stack pointer is decremented.<!--

Could these
add_trap
be conditional only if probestack is enabled? Otherwise for a scheme like wasmtime uses I don't think these instructions can trap
