Topic: wasmtime / PR #4545 x64: Migrate trapif and trapff to ISLE

Wasmtime GitHub notifications bot (Jul 29 2022 at 00:28):

elliottt edited PR #4545 from trevor/x64-lower-trapif to main:

Migrate the trapif instruction to ISLE, and extract the lowering of icmp for scalars to a utility function. The icmp extraction will be helpful for future instruction migrations, as its uses mirror the existing emit_cmp instruction in the rust implementation.

I'd recommend reviewing by commit, and turning off whitespace in the diff.

here and elsewhere, we shouldn't do the side-effecting thing and invoke trap_if_bool just to throw the result away; we should return it. This can work similarly to other ops that don't return values most likely -- see e.g. stores, with the (side_effect ...) ctor.

I think this could work a little better if we did the following:

• The AlreadyExistingFlags enum arm has no args -- we don't actually hold onto the flags Value, it's just a sentinel representing "whatever's in the machine flags register";
• We write a helper in ISLE that does something like:
  lisp (decl flags_to_producesflags (Value) ProducesFlags) (rule (flags_to_producesflags flags) (mark_value_used flags) (ProducesFlags.AlreadyExistingFlags))

then we don't need the distinct case when emitting.

And just to write down a thought I had and then dismissed: I had considered whether it made sense to make the above an auto-conversion, but I think that's too dangerous; if makes more sense to require an explicit action here since we're essentially asserting that flags is a flags value.

... or, perhaps we do:

(rule (flags_to_producesflags (has_type $FLAGS flags))
  ...)

then we are actually asserting it's a flags value, and the verifier will ensure this corresponds to the current flags (there is only one live flags at a time), and so then this is safe and we can make it an auto-conversion. That removes all footguns from the lowerings I think.

I agree that emit_consumer feels like a bit of a hack, and I'd be happy to use an alternative. The solution to bump the refcount manually when consuming the iadd_ifcout seems good to me :+1:

This is a change from the previous lowering of icmp for comparisons with I128 arguments: instead of ending with a single x64_and, we now produce a test instruction. The lowering for icmp will now include an additional setcc as a result, for I128 comparisons.

I'm not sure what value we would return here -- TrapIf and friends have no outputs. Are you suggesting that trap_if_bool should return an InstOutput and always return (output_none)?

elliottt created PR review comment:

Would we need to select the second output of flags for that assertion to work, or am I missing something about how the outputs are accessed?

Ah of course: we can return a SideEffectNoResult.Inst2 instead. I'll make that change, it's much cleaner than relying on the effects currently.

I'm not sold on this pretty-printing format. Do you have ideas on how better to convey what's going on? Maybe something like j({} || {})?

(I'll look at the rest in the detail tomorrow but one thought here: )

This is actually kind of a fun historical oddity: when initially implementing the new backends we kept the pretty-printing format to something that could actually feed into GNU as. The first "hello world" (fib function actually) on the aarch64 backend was a thing I captured from the trace logs and then assembled and linked manually. Since then we've sort of drifted from that and the pretty-printing just has to be "comprehensible to a deeply tired debugging human"; so something that clarifies here is welcome :-)

I might even go so far as trap_if_or CC, CC or somesuch...

This part of the comment seems like it would be more helpful by the lower_fcmp_bool function above.

I realized that I was forgetting that the dependency in trapif will explicitly be for the flags output of iadd_ifcout, so I was indeed missing something :)
