2019-11-20Allow undefined values in IR for SMT generationAlasdair Armstrong
Means we can avoid the use of -undefined_gen for Sail->SMT
2019-11-11Make sure undefined_gen inserts enough type annotations for union constructorsAlasdair Armstrong
2019-11-08Refactor Jib compilationAlasdair Armstrong
Split the dynamic context into the ctx struct, and the static configuration into a module which parameterises the sail->jib compilation step rather than just having a giant ctx struct.
2019-11-07Backport fixes to SMT generation from poly_mapping branchAlasdair Armstrong
2019-10-31Allow sail to be scripted using sailAlasdair
Currently the -is option allows a list of interactive commands to be passed to the interactive toplevel, however this is only capable of executing a sequential list of instructions which is quite limiting. This commit allows sail interactive commands to be invoked from sail functions running in the interpreter which can be freely interleaved with ordinary sail code, for example one could test an assertion at each QEMU/GDB breakpoint like so: $include <aarch64.sail> function main() -> unit = { sail_gdb_start("target-select remote localhost:1234"); while true do { sail_gdb_continue(); // Run until breakpoint sail_gdb_sync(); // Sync register state with QEMU if not(my_assertion()) { print_endline("Assertion failed") } } }
2019-10-28Make sure that interactive.ml doesn't transitively depend on lem definitionsAlasdair Armstrong
Lem definitions from Sail2_values are used in the C and SMT backends as the definition of what the Sail builtins mean for constant folding and other operations, but due to Lem renaming issues (we think) if any part of Sail that RMEM relies on transitively depends on a Lem file (that is affected by renaming?) it causes issues with inconsistent assumptions over cmi files. interactive.ml contains a reference to an AST and an environment which are used as the implicit state that the interactive toplevel uses. Commit 8182b700 added an implicit IR reference to the toplevel which essentially added a dependency on sail2_values.lem by way of jib.lem. This moves that to a separate file which should solve the issue.
2019-10-28Some C backend refactoringAlasdair
Make it so that jib_compile.ml never relies on specific string encodings for various constructs in C. Previously this happened when monomorphisation occured for union constructors and fields, i.e. x.foo -> x.zfoo_bitsz632z7 Now identifiers that can be modified are represented as (id, ctyp list) tuples, so we can keep the types x.foo -> x.foo::<bits(32)> This then enables us to do jib IR -> jib IR rewrites that modify types In particular there is now a rewrite that removes tuples as an IR->IR pass rather than doing it ad-hoc in the C code generation, although this is not on by default Note that this change seems to have triggered an Ott bug so jib.lem is now checked in and not generated from Ott
2019-10-25Remove global symbol generatorAlasdair
Rather than having a global symbol generating function gensym used throughout the C backend, instead 'generate' them as needed like: let (gensym, reset_gensym_counter) = symbol_generator "gs" This just makes things a bit neater and means we can reset the counter between definitions in jib_compile without worrying about other modules relying on global uniqueness
2019-10-25Refactor Jib IR pretty printerAlasdair Armstrong
2019-10-17Allow generating C that doesn't hard code any librariesAlasdair Armstrong
2019-10-16Make nostd Sail arena allocator thread safe (maybe)Alasdair
2019-10-15More work on bare-metal SailAlasdair Armstrong
2019-10-14Add -Ofixed_int and -Ofixed_bits to assume fixed-precision ints and ↵Alasdair Armstrong
bitvectors in C Assumes a Sail C library that has functions with the right types to support this. Currently lib/int128 supports the -Ofixed_int option, which was previously -Oint128. Add a version of Sail C library that can be built with -nostdlib and -ffreestanding, assuming the above options. Currently just a header file without any implementation, but with the right types
2019-07-16Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/sail2' into separate_bvAlasdair Armstrong
2019-06-19Make C emulator exit with failure for uncaught exception. Make special case ↵Robert Norton
for 'exception.sail' test that deliberately exits with uncaught exception.
2019-06-05Add some regression testsAlasdair
2019-06-05Fix: Make sure we check Jib types match for operators before optimizingAlasdair Armstrong
Insert coercions for AV_cval if neccessary Simplify any n in 2 ^ n, to make sure we can always evaluate 2 ^ n when n is a constant before passing it to the SMT solver.
2019-05-17Experiment with making vector and bitvector distinct typesAlasdair Armstrong
Only change that should be needed for 99.9% of uses is to change vector('n, 'ord, bit) to bitvector('n, 'ord), and adding $ifndef FEATURE_BITVECTOR_TYPE type bitvector('n, dec) = vector('n, dec, bit) $endif for to support any Sail before this Currently I have all C, Typechecking, and SMT tests passing, as well as the RISC-V spec building OCaml and C completely unmodified.
2019-05-07Move parser combinators shared by property and model parsing to separate fileAlasdair Armstrong
2019-05-05C: Add option to compile using __int128 rather than GMPAlasdair
Only requires a very small change to c_backend.ml. Most of this commit is duplication of the builtins and runtime in lib/int128. But the actual differences in those files is also fairly minor could be handled by some simple ifdefs for the integer builtins.
2019-05-03Jib: Optimize set_slice for ARM v8.5Alasdair Armstrong
2019-05-03Jib: Fix optimizations for SMT IR changesAlasdair Armstrong
Fixes C backend optimizations that were disabled due to changes in the IR while working on the SMT generation. Also add a -Oaarch64_fast option that optimizes any integer within a struct to be an int64_t, which is safe for the ARM v8.5 spec and improves performance significantly (reduces Linux boot times by 4-5 minutes). Eventually this should probably be a directive that can be attached to any arbitrary struct/type. Fixes the -c_specialize option for ARM v8.5. However this only gives a very small performance improvment for a very large increase in compilation time however.
2019-05-01SMT: Fix some C optimisations that were disabledAlasdair Armstrong
Need to get these working again before we can thing about merging back into sail2
2019-05-01Jib: Refactor V_callAlasdair Armstrong
Get rid of separate V_op and V_unary constructors. jib.ott now defines the valid operations for V_call including zero/sign extension, in such a way that the operation ctyp can be inferred. Overall this makes the IR less ad-hoc, and means we can share more code between SMT and C. string_of_cval no longer used by c_backend, which now uses sgen_cval following other sgen_ functions in the code generator, meaning string_of_cval doesn't have to produce valid C code anymore and so can be used for backend-agnostic debug and error messages.
2019-04-20SMT: Support writing to register referencesAlasdair Armstrong
Add a new AE_write_ref constructor in the ANF representation to make writes to register references explicit in Jib_compile
2019-04-17SMT: Support generic vectors and handle lets between specs and functionsAlasdair Armstrong
If we have e.g. $property val prop : ... let X = 0 function prop(...) = X == ... then we need to ensure that let X is included when we generate the property.
2019-04-17SMT: Unroll simple foreach loopsAlasdair Armstrong
2019-04-09SMT: Refactor Jib values to make inlining workAlasdair Armstrong
Had to change the hundreds and hundreds of places such values were used. However this now lets us automatically prove cheri-concentrate properties. Such as showing function prop_cap_round_trip(cap: bits(128)) -> bool = { let cap_rt = capToBits(capBitsToCapability(true, cap)); cap == cap_rt } is always true.
2019-04-06Various bugfixes and improvementsAlasdair
- Rename DeIid to Operator. It corresponds to operator <string> in the syntax. The previous name is from when it was called deinfix in sail1. - Removed things that weren't actually common from pretty_print_common.ml, e.g. printing identifiers is backend specific. The doc_id function here was only used for a very specific use case in pretty_print_lem, so I simplified it and renamed it to doc_sia_id, as it is always used for a SIA.Id whatever that is. - There is some support for anonymous records in constructors, e.g. union Foo ('a : Type) = { MkFoo : { field1 : 'a, field2 : int } } somewhat similar to the enum syntax in Rust. I'm not sure when this was added, but there were a few odd things about it. It was desugared in the preprocessor, rather than initial_check, and the desugaring generated incorrect code for polymorphic anonymous records as above. I moved the code to initial_check, so the pre-processor now just deals with pre-processor things and not generating types, and I fixed the code to work with polymorphic types. This revealed some issues in the C backend w.r.t. polymorphic structs, which is the bulk of this commit. I also added some tests for this feature. - OCaml backend can now generate a valid string_of function for polymorphic structs, previously this would cause the ocaml to fail to compile. - Some cleanup in the Sail ott definition - Add support for E_var in interpreter previously this would just cause the interpreter to fail
2019-04-01C: Add identifier to end instructionAlasdair
Allows us to track the last version of the return variable when the AST in in SSA form.
2019-03-27C: Generate C from sliced specificationsAlasdair Armstrong
2019-03-19C: Some simplificationAlasdair Armstrong
Remove unused experimental optimizations
2019-03-15C: Wrap Jib identifiersAlasdair
Avoids duplication between l-expressions and expressions. Also means that special variables like current_exception and have_exception are treated normally by functions such as instr_reads and instr_writes etc. Furthermore we can now easily annotate Jib identifiers in ways that were not previously possible with plain sail ids.
2019-03-13C: Improve Jib IR, add SSA representationAlasdair Armstrong
Add a CL_void l-expression so we don't have redundant unit-typed variables everywhere, and add an optimization in Jib_optimize called optimize_unit which introduces these. Remove the basic control-flow graph in Jib_util and add a new mutable control-flow graph type in Jib_ssa which allows the IR to be converted into SSA form. The mutable graph allows for more efficient updates, and includes both back and forwards references making it much more convenient to traverse. Having an SSA representation should make some optimizations much simpler, and is also probably more natural for SMT generation where variables have to be defined once using declare-const anyway. Debug option -ddump_flow_graphs now outputs SSA'd graphs of the functions in a specification.
2019-03-08Rewriter: Cleanup old sizeof rewritesAlasdair Armstrong
Shouldn't affect anything as this is done by the typechecker now. Also remove some unfinished tracing code from c_backend.ml
2019-03-08C: Refactor C backendAlasdair Armstrong
Main change is splitting apart the Sail->IR compilation stage and the C code generation and optimization phase. Rather than variously calling the intermediate language either bytecode (when it's not really) or simply IR, we give it a name: Jib (a type of Sail). Most of the types are still prefixed by c/C, and I don't think it's worth changing this. The various parts of the C backend are now in the src/jib/ subdirectory src/jib/anf.ml - Sail->ANF translation src/jib/jib_util.ml - various Jib AST processing and helper functions (formerly bytecode_util) src/jib/jib_compile.ml - Sail->Jib translation (using Sail->ANF) src/jib/c_backend.ml - Jib->C code generator and optimizations Further, bytecode.ott is now jib.ott and generates jib.ml (which still lives in src/ for now) The optimizations in c_backend.ml should eventually be moved in a separate jib_optimization file. The Sail->Jib compilation can be parameterised by two functions - one is a custom ANF->ANF optimization pass that can be specified on a per Jib backend basis, and the other is the rule for translating Sail types in Jib types. This can be more or less precise depending on how precise we want to be about bit-widths etc, i.e. we only care about <64 and >64 for C, but for SMT generation we would want to be as precise as possible. Additional improvements: The Jib IR is now agnostic about whether arguments are allocated on the heap vs the stack and this is handled by the C code generator. jib.ott now has some more comments explaining various parts of the Jib AST. A Set module and comparison function for ctyps is defined, and some functions now return ctyp sets rather than lists to avoid repeated work.
