The run-time system stopped paying attention the 'aligned' flag in bit
syntax construction and matching when bitstrings were introduced in
language.
The beam_asm compiler pass will crash if the 'aligned' flag is given
in bit syntax instructions.
beam_validator still validates the 'aligned' flag. Before
912fea0b712a (which removed the possibility to validate existing
BEAM files), the 'aligned' flag could actually be encountered
when validating a BEAM file.
Since the validation of 'aligned' no longer serves any useful
purpose, remove the validation code.

set_type_y/3 is far too complicated. Note that we don't need to check
the #st.numy field, because we will detect the error anyway because
the information for the y register will be missing in the #st.y
gb_tree.
There is also a clause that would never match because of a spelling
error (the first "n" was missing in "uninitialized"). That clause
is not needed because the default clause will do fine.
Furthermore, we can break out the special case for handling catch_end
and similar instructions into a new function.

The fault/1,2 BIF was removed a long time ago.
|
|
When merging two states, the following fields should be merged
between the states: #st.x, #st.y, #st.numy, #st.ct. Everything
else should be set to the default values in a new state.
|
|
When merging y registers, only the y registers that are found in
both states should be retained.

The BEAM loader will now sort keys for maps during loading, so
beam_validator should not require the keys to be ordered any order.
However, we must still ensure that literals keys are unique (which
was implicitly guaranteed by the strict ordering requirement).
|
|
|
|
As a preparation for fixing a bug, introduce a complete register
map in the '%live' annotations.

* bjorn/compiler/beam_validator:

beam_validator: Remove support for unsupported bit syntax instructions

The beam_validator catches all exceptions and collect them.
It makes more sense to don't catch 'error' and 'exit' exceptions,
but to just print out the name of the current function and pass
on the exception just as all other compilation passes do. Those
kind of exceptions are the symptoms of the kind of severe but
easily catched bugs that occur during development.

Before the beam_validator was added as compiler pass, it was a
standalone module that could analyse existing .beam files and .S
files.
Even though beam_validator has been part of the compiler for many
releases, it still supports the analysis of .beam and .S files.
To reduce the code bloat and to improve coverage of beam_validator,
remove the file/1 and files/1 functions and all associated help
functions. We'll need to update the test suite, since some of the
checked in .S files have errors that beam_validator ignores, but
that will not be accepted when running them throught the compiler
using the 'from_asm' option. In particular, we will need to export
all functions that should be validated (since the beam_clean pass
will remove any function that is not possible to call).

The assert_strict_literal_termorder/1 function is used to validate the
get_map_elements and has_map_fields instructions. In neither case is
it useful to allow an empty lists of fields, so we should no longer
allow an empty list.
The mmap/2 function is cute, but it is used in only one place, so it
is much simpler to write a special-purpose function to extract the
keys from the list of map pairs.

The types array(), dict(), digraph(), gb_set(), gb_tree(), queue(),
set(), and tid() have been deprecated. They will be removed in OTP 18.0.
Instead the types array:array(), dict:dict(), digraph:graph(),
gb_set:set(), gb_tree:tree(), queue:queue(), sets:set(), and ets:tid()
can be used. (Note: it has always been necessary to use ets:tid().)
It is allowed in OTP 17.0 to locally re-define the types array(), dict(),
and so on.
New types array:array/1, dict:dict/2, gb_sets:set/1, gb_trees:tree/2,
queue:queue/1, and sets:set/1 have been added.

Partly to avoid unmatched return warnings from dialyzer and in order
to preserve the style of other similar-looking code in that file.
While at it, fix the wording in one comment.

The fun argument for a call_fun/1 instruction was not validated.
|
|
|
|
To make it possible to build the entire OTP system, also define
dummys for the instructions in ops.tab.

If a match context is returned from a function without being converted
back to a plain old binary, the whole VM will crash.
|
|
The assert_fls/2 and assert_type/3 functions both return the
Vst passed to them, but all callers ignore the return value.
Given the name of the functions, they are not expected to return
anything. Make it so by changing the return value to 'ok'.
There are two calls to bsm_get_context/2 used only to validate
that the match context is valid. Call bsm_validate_context/2
instead.
In bsm_validate_context/2, explicitly match the return value of
bsm_get_context/2 to '_' to make it clear that it is not used.

A bs_start_match2/5 instruction will never fail (take the branch) if
given a match state or a binary. Therefore, the type at the failure
label should be 'term', not match state or binary. Without this
correction, the beam_validator will reject safe programs.

bs_bits_to_bytes2/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11,
but was removed in R12. Although the beam_disasm and beam_validator
modules do support instructions in older releases, there is
no reason to have them support experimental instructions.

Make the recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions known to the
compiler and run-time system. For the moment, make the loader ignore
any occurrences of those instructions in BEAM files.
Also update hipe_beam_to_icode to ignore those instructions.

* bg/compiler-beam_validator:
beam_validator: fix incorrect assumptions about GC guard BIFs
OTP-8378 In rare circumstances when using garbaging collecting guard BIFs,
the validation pass (beam_validator) would signal that the code
was unsafe, when it in fact was correct. (Thanks to Kiran
Khaladkar.)
|
|
The beam_validator pass incorrectly assumes that a GC guard
BIF (such as length/1) may first do a garbage collection
and then fail. That assumption is not correct (guards BIF
only do garbage collection when it is known that the BIF
call will succeed), and will cause the compiler to reject
valid programs.
Modify the beam_validator to assume that if the branch is
taken for a gc_bif instruction, all registers are unchanged
and no garbage collection has occurred. Also add a comment
in the emulator about that assumption.
