Wasmtime GitHub notifications bot (Aug 24 2022 at 23:50):

fitzgen opened PR #4779 from stack-trace-panic to main:

We were previously implicitly assuming that all Wasm frames in a stack used the same VMRuntimeLimits as the previous frame's CallThreadState, but this is not true when Wasm in store A calls into the host which then calls into Wasm in store B:

| ...             |
| Host            |  |
+-----------------+  | stack
| Wasm in store A |  | grows
+-----------------+  | down
| Host            |  |
+-----------------+  |
| Wasm in store B |  V
+-----------------+

Trying to walk this stack would previously result in a runtime panic.

The solution is to push the maintenance of our list of saved Wasm FP/SP/PC registers that allow us to identify contiguous regions of Wasm frames on the stack deeper into CallThreadState. The saved registers list is now maintained whenever updating the CallThreadState linked list by making the CallThreadState::prev field private and only accessible via a getter and setter, where the setter always maintains our invariants.

Thanks to @bnjbvr for reporting this bug!

@cfallin do you feel familiar enough with this stuff that you'd be comfortable reviewing it? If not, I can totally wait for Alex to come back from PTO.
