set_aliased_type already preserves fragility when updating the type
of a fragile register.
|
|
|
|
Prior to 294d66a295f6c2101fe3c2da630979ad4e736c08 there wasn't much
point to keeping track of tuple element types; they were only known
when we had inserted or extracted values from a tuple, and in
neither case was it likely that we'd extract the same values again.
It makes a lot more sense to do so now that type optimizations are
applied across functions; if we return a tuple it's very likely
that its elements will be extracted soon after, and knowing their
types lets us eliminate more type checks.

We haven't seen any related bugs so far, but all instructions that
place a term in another ought to reject fragile inputs. It can't
hurt to check.
|
|
Our current type management (based on set_type_reg etc) is rather
error-prone, often requiring special cases on a per-instruction
basis. This commit replaces nearly all ad-hoc mechanisms with more
general abstractions:
* assign - Moves a term.
* create_term - Creates a new term.
* extract_term - Extracts a term from another, maintaining
fragility as required.
* update_type - Adds more type information about a register.
* type_test - Helper function for type tests that subtracts on
failure and meets on success.

The fix in f9ea85611faca82c7494449ddb8bcb1ef1d194cb didn't consider
that the tested register could be aliased.

As beam_ssa_type is about to get smarter, beam_validator must
be smarter too.
|
|
Be more careful when updating types so that fragility is not lost.

Minor cleanups and bug fixes of the compiler

Rewrite BSM optimizations in the new SSA-based intermediate format
|
|
This has been superseded by bs_get_tail/3. Note that it is NOT
removed from the emulator or beam_disasm, as old modules are still
legal.
|
|
This commit improves the bit-syntax match optimization pass,
leveraging the new SSA intermediate format to perform much more
aggressive optimizations. Some highlights:
* Watch contexts can be reused even after being passed to a
function or being used in a try block.
* Sub-binaries are no longer eagerly extracted, making it far
easier to keep "happy paths" free from binary creation.
* Trivial wrapper functions no longer disable context reuse.

Disallow a literal map source for get_map_elements. There is currently
runtime support for get_map with a literal map source, but by
forbidding it in OTP 22, the runtime support could be removed in a
future release (perhaps OTP 24).
Also verify that the source arguments for get_list, get_hd, get_tl,
and get_tuple_element are not literals. Literals are not supported for
those instructions in the runtime system; verifying it in
beam_validator is a convenience so that this kind of bug will
be detected already during compilation.
|

The following code broke because aliases weren't tracked for hd/1:
bug(Bool) ->
Bug = remote:call(),
if
Bool -> %% Branch of some kind.
_ = hd(Bug),
remote:call(),
hd(Bug)
end.

When optimizations get more powerful, beam_validator
must keep up.

Sometimes when building a tuple, there is no way to avoid an
extra `move` instruction. Consider this code:
make_tuple(A) -> {ok,A}.
The corresponding BEAM code looks like this:
{test_heap,3,1}.
{put_tuple,2,{x,1}}.
{put,{atom,ok}}.
{put,{x,0}}.
{move,{x,1},{x,0}}.
return.
To avoid overwriting the source register `{x,0}`, a `move`
instruction is necessary.
The problem doesn't exist when building a list:
%% build_list(A) -> [A].
{test_heap,2,1}.
{put_list,{x,0},nil,{x,0}}.
return.
Introduce a new `put_tuple2` instruction that builds a tuple in a
single instruction, so that the `move` instruction can be eliminated:
%% make_tuple(A) -> {ok,A}.
{test_heap,3,1}.
{put_tuple2,{x,0},{list,[{atom,ok},{x,0}]}}.
return.
Note that the BEAM loader already combines `put_tuple` and `put`
instructions into an internal instruction similar to `put_tuple2`.
Therefore the introduction of the new instruction will not speed up
execution of tuple building itself, but it will be less work for
the loader to load the new instruction.

|
|
Make sure that beam_validator considers a call to is_map_key/2
followed by an update of the same map without an is_map/1 test
safe. (This situation will probably not be encountered when
using the compiler in OTP 21, but better safe than sorry.)
|
|
Smarter code generation means that beam_validator must
be smarter too. In the following example, beam_validator
must be able to infer that y0 refers to a map:
move x0 y0
test is_map L1 x0
%% Here the type for y0 must be 'map'.
|
|
|
|
The func_info instruction does not expect a stack frame. There will
be an assertion failure in the debug-compiled runtime system.
|
|
|
|
If we transfer state appropriately to labels that can't be reached,
the state could taint other labels.
|
|
Since the compiler will start optimizing more aggressively, beam_validator
must keep up and improve the recognization of tuples and maps.
|
|
The new code generator will more aggressively reuse registers,
so we must be more careful about updating the state for try/catch.
In particular, an "empty" try/catch that can't throw an
exception must not update the try/catch state.

When nesting a receive in a try/catch, there could be a false

I did not find any legitimate use of "can not", however skipped
changing e.g RFCs archived in the source tree.

Code such as that the following:
Val = map_get(a, Map),
Map#{a:=z} %Could be any map update
would incorrectly cause an internal consistency check failure:
Internal consistency check failed - please report this bug.
Instruction: {put_map_exact,{f,0},{x,0},{x,0},1,{list,[{atom,a},{atom,z}]}}
Error: {bad_type,{needed,map},{actual,term}}:
Update beam_validator so that it understands that the second
argument for map_get/2 is a map.

When an exception is handled, the stack will be scanned. Therefore
all Y registers must be initialized.

Waiting messages for a process may be stored in a queue
outside of any heap or heap fragment belonging to the process.
This is an optimization added in a recent major release to
avoid garbage collection messages again and again if there
is a long message queue.
Until such message has been matched and accepted by
the remove_message/0 instruction, the message must not be
included in the root set for a garbage collection, as that
would corrupt the message. The loop_rec/2 instruction explicitly
turns off garbage collection of the process as long messages
are being matched.
However, if the compiler were to put references to a message
outside of the heap in an Y register (on the stack) and there
happened to be a GC when the process had been scheduled out,
the message would be corrupted and the runtime system would
crash sooner or later.
To ensure that doesn't happen, teach beam_validator to check
for references on the stack to messages outside of the heap.
|
|
Every catch or try/catch must use a lower Y register number than any
enclosing catch or try/catch. That will ensure that when the stack
is scanned when an exception occurs, the innermost try/catch tag is
found first.
|
|
* maint:
Check that the stack is initialized when an exception may occur
|
|
Strengthen beam_validator to check that the stack is initialized
when an instruction with an {f,0} operand is executed.
For example, the following code sequence:
{allocate,0,1}.
{bif,element,{f,0},[{integer,1},{x,0}],{x,0}}.
should not be accepted because the stack may be scanned if
element/2 fails. That could cause a crash or other undefined
behavior if garbage on the stack looks like a catch tag.

Instructions that produce more than one result complicate
optimizations. get_list/3 is one of two instructions that
produce multiple results (get_map_elements/3 is the other).
Introduce the get_hd/2 and get_tl/2 instructions
that return the head and tail of a cons cell, respectively,
and use it internally in all optimization passes.
For efficiency, we still want to use get_list/3 if both
head and tail are used, so we will translate matching pairs
of get_hd and get_tl back to get_list instructions.
