2023-06-20 r/6336 fix(tvix/eval): only finalise formal arguments if defaultingsterni1-1/+2
When dealing with a formal argument in a function argument pattern that has a default expression, there are two different things that can happen at runtime: Either we select its value from the passed attribute successfully or we need to use the default expression. Both of these may be thunks and both of these may need finalisers. However, in the former case this is taken care of elsewhere, the value will always be finalised already if necessary. In the latter case we may need to finalise the thunk resulting from the default expression. However, the thunk corresponding to the expression may never end up in the local's stack slot. Since finalisation goes by stack slot (and not constants), we need to prevent a case where we don't fall back to the default expression, but finalise anyways. Previously, we worked around this by making `OpFinalise` ignore non-thunks. Since finalisation of already evaluated thunks still crashed, the faulty compilation of function pattern arguments could still cause a crash. As a new approach, we reinstate the old behavior of `OpFinalise` to crash whenever encountering something that is either not a thunk or doesn't need finalisation. This can also help catching (similar) miscompilations in the future. To then prevent the crash, we need to track whether we have fallen back or not at runtime. This is done using an additional phantom on the stack that holds a new `FinaliseRequest` value. When it comes to finalisation we check this value and conditionally execute `OpFinalise` based on its value. Resolves b/261 and b/265 (partially).

2023-06-12 r/6267 fix(tvix/eval): allow negative substring lengthsLinus Heckemann1-6/+5
Nix uses string::substr without checking the sign of the length[1]. The NixOS testing infrastructure relies on this[2], and on the implicit conversion of that to the maximum possible value for a size_t.

2023-05-26 r/6207 fix(tvix): don't call function eagerly in genList, map & mapAttrssterni1-5/+25
mapAttrs, map and genList call Nix functions provided by the caller and store the result of applying them in a Nix data structure that does not force all of its contents when forced itself. This means that when such a builtin application is forced, the Nix function calls performed by the builtin should not be forced: They may be forced later, but it is also possible that they will never be forced, e.g. in builtins.length (builtins.map (builtins.add 2) [ 1 2 3 ]) it is not necessary to compute a single application of builtins.add. Since request_call_with immediately performs the function call requested, Tvix would compute function applications unnecessarily before this change. Because this was not followed by a request_force, the impact of this was relatively low in Nix code (most functions return a new thunk after being applied), but it was enough to cause a lot of bogus builtins.trace applications when evaluating anything from `lib.modules`. The newly added test includes many cases where Tvix previously incorrectly applied a builtin, breaking a working expression. To fix this we add a new helper to construct a Thunk performing a function application at runtime from a function and argument given as `Value`s. This mimics the compiler's compile_apply(), but does itself not require a compiler, since the necessary Lambda can be constructed independently. I also looked into other builtins that call a Nix function to verify that they don't exhibit such a problem: - Many builtins immediately use the resulting value in a way that makes it necessary to compute all the function calls they do as soon as the outer builtin application is forced: * all * any * filter * groupBy * partition - concatMap needs to (shallowly) force the returned list for concatenation. - foldl' is strict in the application of `op` (I added a comment that makes this explicit). - genericClosure needs to (shallowly) force the resulting list and some keys of the attribute sets inside. Resolves b/272.

2023-03-13 r/5964 refactor(tvix/eval): flatten call stack of VM using generatorsVincent Ambo2-312/+328
Warning: This is probably the biggest refactor in tvix-eval history, so far. This replaces all instances of trampolines and recursion during evaluation of the VM loop with generators. A generator is an asynchronous function that can be suspended to yield a message (in our case, vm::generators::GeneratorRequest) and receive a response (vm::generators::GeneratorResponsee). The `genawaiter` crate provides an interpreter for generators that can drive their execution and lets us move control flow between the VM and suspended generators. To do this, massive changes have occured basically everywhere in the code. On a high-level: 1. The VM is now organised around a frame stack. A frame is either a call frame (execution of Tvix bytecode) or a generator frame (a running or suspended generator). The VM has an outer loop that pops a frame off the frame stack, and then enters an inner loop either driving the execution of the bytecode or the execution of a generator. Both types of frames have several branches that can result in the frame re-enqueuing itself, and enqueuing some other work (in the form of a different frame) on top of itself. The VM will eventually resume the frame when everything "above" it has been suspended. In this way, the VM's new frame stack takes over much of the work that was previously achieved by recursion. 2. All methods previously taking a VM have been refactored into async functions that instead emit/receive generator messages for communication with the VM. Notably, this includes *all* builtins. This has had some other effects: - Some test have been removed or commented out, either because they tested code that was mostly already dead (nix_eq) or because they now require generator scaffolding which we do not have in place for tests (yet). - Because generator functions are technically async (though no async IO is involved), we lose the ability to use much of the Rust standard library e.g. in builtins. This has led to many algorithms being unrolled into iterative versions instead of iterator combinations, and things like sorting had to be implemented from scratch. - Many call sites that previously saw a `Result<..., ErrorKind>` bubble up now only see the result value, as the error handling is encapsulated within the generator loop. This reduces number of places inside of builtin implementations where error context can be attached to calls that can fail. Currently what we gain in this tradeoff is significantly more detailed span information (which we still need to bubble up, this commit does not change the error display). We'll need to do some analysis later of how useful the errors turn out to be and potentially introduce some methods for attaching context to a generator frame again. This change is very difficult to do in stages, as it is very much an "all or nothing" change that affects huge parts of the codebase. I've tried to isolate changes that can be isolated into the parent CLs of this one, but this change is still quite difficult to wrap one's mind and I'm available to discuss it and explain things to any reviewer. Fixes: b/238, b/237, b/251 and potentially others.

2023-02-03 r/5828 fix(tvix/eval): ensure all evaluated thunks are correctly memoizedVincent Ambo1-2/+1
This fixes a very complicated bug (b/246). Evaluation progresses *much* further after this, leading to several less complicated bugs likely being uncovered by this What was the problem? ===================== Previously, when evaluating a thunk, we had a code path that looked like this: match *thunk { ThunkRepr::Evaluated(Value::Thunk(ref inner_thunk)) => { let inner_repr = inner_thunk.0.borrow().clone(); drop(thunk); self.0.replace(inner_repr); } /* ... */ } This code path created a copy of the inner `ThunkRepr` of a nested thunk, and moved that copy into the `ThunkRepr` of the parent. The effect of this was that the original `ThunkRepr` (unforced!) lived on in the original thunk, without the memoization of the subsequent forcing applying to it. This had the result that Tvix would repeatedly evaluate these thunks without ever memoizing them, if they occured repeatedly as shared inner thunks. Most notably, this would *always* occur when builtins.import was used. What's the solution? ==================== I have completely rewritten `Thunk::force_trampoline_self` to make all flows that can occur in it explicit. I have also removed the outer loop inside of that function, and resorted to more use of trampolining instead. The function is now well-commented and it should be possible to read it from top-to-bottom and get a general sense of what is going on, though the trampolining itself (which is implemented in the VM) needs to be at least partially understood for this. What's the new problem(s)? ========================== One new (known) problem is that we have to construct `Error` instances in all error types here, but we do not have spans available in some thunk-related situations. Due to b/238 we cannot ask the VM for an arbitrary span from the callsite leading to the force. This means that there are now code paths where, under certain conditions, causing an evaluation error during thunk forcing will panic. To fix this we will need to investigate and fix b/238, and/or add a span tracking mechanism to thunks themselves. What other impacts does this have? ================================== With this commit, eval of nixpkgs mostly succeeds (things like stdenv evaluate to the same hashes for us and C++ Nix, meaning we now construct identical derivations without eval breaking). Due to this we progress much further into nixpkgs, which lets us uncover more additional bugs. For example, after this commit we can quickly see that cl/7949 introduces some kind of behavioural issue and should not be merged as-is (this was not apparent before). Additionally, tvix-eval is now seemingly very fast. When doing performance analysis of a nixpkgs eval, we now mostly see the code path for shelling out to C++ Nix to add things to the store in there. We still need those code paths, so we can not (yet) do a performance analysis beyond that.

2023-01-04 r/5581 refactor(tvix/eval): streamline construction of globals/builtinsVincent Ambo2-191/+50
Previously the construction of globals (a compiler-only concept) and builtins (a (now) user-facing API) was intermingled between multiple different modules, and kind of difficult to understand. The complexity of this had grown in large part due to the implementation of `builtins.import`, which required the notorious "knot-tying" trick using Rc::new_cyclic (see cl/7097) for constructing the set of globals. As part of the new `Evaluation` API users should have the ability to bring their own builtins, and control explicitly whether or not impure builtins are available (regardless of whether they're compiled in or not). To streamline the construction and allow the new API features to work, this commit restructures things by making these changes: 1. The `tvix_eval::builtins` module is now only responsible for exporting sets of builtins. It no longer has any knowledge of whether or not certain sets (e.g. only pure, or pure+impure) are enabled, and it has no control over which builtins are globally available (this is now handled in the compiler). 2. The compiler module is now responsible for both constructing the final attribute set of builtins from the set of builtins supplied by a user, as well as for populating its globals (that is identifiers which are available at the top-level scope). 3. The `Evaluation` API now carries a `builtins` field which is populated with the pure builtins by default, and can be extended by users. 4. The `import` feature has been moved into the compiler, as a special case. In general, builtins no longer have the ability to reference the "fix point" of the globals set. This should not change any functionality, and in fact preserves minor differences between Tvix/Nix that we already had (such as `builtins.builtins` not existing).

2022-12-29 r/5542 refactor(tvix/eval): remove extra Rc<..> around Value::AttrsVincent Ambo1-4/+4
The `im::OrdMap` is already small and cheap to copy while sharing memory, so this is not required anymore. Only the `KV` variant may have slightly larger content, but in practice this doesn't seem to make a difference when comparing the two variants and this one is less complicated.

2022-12-29 r/5541 refactor(tvix/eval): persistent, memory-sharing OrdMap for NixAttrsVincent Ambo1-12/+12
This uses the `im::OrdMap` for `NixAttrs` to enable sharing of memory between different iterations of a map. This slightly speeds up eval, but not significantly. Future work might include benchmarking whether using a `HashMap` and only ordering in cases where order is actually required would help. This switches to a fork of `im` that fixes some bugs with its OrdMap implementation.

2022-12-29 r/5540 refactor(tvix/eval): use im::Vector directly where possibleVincent Ambo1-15/+18
The conversion from im::Vector -> Vec is cheaper for NixList construction (of course), so where possible we should make use of that. This updates most builtins dealing with lists to use Vector directly, and marks the function constructing NixList from Vec as deprecated so that we get appropriate warnings in places where it's still in use. These places are currently inside of JSON serialisation logic which is in flux right now, so lets leave them as-is until it's stabilised.

2022-12-29 r/5534 refactor(tvix/eval): use im::Vector for NixList representationVincent Ambo1-1/+6
This is a persistent, structurally sharing data structure which is more efficient in some of our use-cases. I have verified the efficiency improvement using `hyperfine` repeatedly over expressions on nixpkgs. Lists are not the most performance-critical structure in Nix (that would be attribute sets), but we can already see a small (~5-10%) improvement. Note that there are a handful of cases where we still go via `Vec` that need to be fixed, most notable for `builtins.sort` which can not currently be implemented directly using `im::Vector` because of a restrictive type bound.

Returns the store directory through EvalIO::store_dir. Note that this is _optional_ in Tvix, as an evaluation can occur in a context where there simply is no store directory. In those contexts, `builtins.storeDir` returns `null` in Tvix. This would only happen in contexts like Tvixbolt (or completely unrelated use-cases) in practice.

2022-12-21 r/5457 refactor(tvix/eval): add a LightSpan type for lighter span trackingVincent Ambo1-1/+2
This type carries the information required for calculating a span (i.e. the chunk and offset), instead of the span itself. The span is then only calculated in cases where it is required (when throwing errors). This reduces the eval time for `builtins.length (builtins.attrNames (import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one third*! The data structure in chunks that carries span information reduces in-memory size by trading off the speed of retrieving span information. This is because the span information is only actually required when throwing errors (or emitting warnings). However, somewhere along the way we grew a dependency on carrying span information in thunks (for correctly reporting error chains). Hitting the code paths for span retrieval was expensive, and carrying the spans in a different way would still be less cache-efficient. This change is the best tradeoff I could come up with.
