2023-12-12 r/7193 fix(tvix/eval): add unimplemented __curPos and builtins.filterSourceAdam Joseph1-0/+17
This commit adds __curPos (to the global scope, yuck) and builtins.filterSource. These are not implemented; forcing them will produce the same result as `throw "message"`. Unfortunately these two post-2.3 features are used throughout nixpkgs. Since an unresolved indentifier is a catchable error, this breaks the entire release eval. With this commit, it simply causes those broken packages that use these features to appear as they are: broken.

2023-12-12 r/7176 feat(tvix/eval): nonrecursive coerce_to_string()Adam Joseph1-6/+21
After this commit, the only non-builtins uses of generators are: - coerce_to_string() uses generators::request_enter_lambda() - Thunk::force() uses generators::request_enter_lambda() That's it! Once those two are taken care of, GenCo can become an implementation detail of `builtins::BuiltinGen`. No more crazy nonlocal flow control within the interpreter: if you've got a GenCo floating around in your code it's because you're writing a builtin, which isn't part of the core interpreter. The interpreter won't need GenCos to talk to itself anymore. Technically generators::request_path_import() is also used by coerce_to_string(), but that's just because the io_handle happens to be part of the VM. There's no recursion-depth issue there, so the call doesn't need to go through the generator mechanism (request_path_import() doesn't call back to the interpreter!)

This commit rewrites Value::nix_cmp_ordering() into an equivalent nonrecursive form. Except for calls to Thunk::force(), the new form no longer uses generators, and is async only because of the fact that it calls Thunk::force(). I originally believed that this commit would make evaluation faster. In fact it is slightly slower. I believe this is due to the added vec![] allocation. I am investigating.

2023-12-12 r/7166 fix(tvix/eval): never use partial_cmp() (partial fix b/338)Adam Joseph1-1/+1
This is part of a fix for b/338. We should never use PartialOrd::partial_cmp(). All Nix types except floats are obviously totally-ordered. In addition, it turns out that because Nix treats division by zero rather than producing a NaN, and because it does not support "negative zero", even floats are in fact totally ordered in Nix. Therefore, every call to PartialOrd::partial_cmp() in tvix is an error. We have to *implement* this function, but we should never call it on built-in types. Moreover, nix_cmp_ordering() currently returns an Option<Ordering>. I'm not sure what was going on there, since it's impossible for it to return None. This commit fixes it to return simply Ordering rather than Option<Ordering>.

2023-11-03 r/6930 refactor(tvix/eval): more efficiently intersect attributesVincent Ambo1-9/+70
builtins.intersectAttrs is used a _lot_ in nixpkgs eval, for whatever reason. We previously had a very inefficient implementation that would allocate for each comparison. It stuck out like a sore thumb in perf analysis. This moves to a custom algorithm with two iterators, one for the left and one for the right side, advancing them along the (borrowed) map keys until a match is found and allocation is required. I've not made any effort to reduce the verbosity of this code, I don't think it's worth it. On my machine this reduces the mean runtime of evaluating `nixpkgs.emacs.outPath` by ~8%.

Some paths might use names that are not valid UTF-8. We should be able to represent them. We don't actually need to touch the PathInfo structures, as they need to represent StorePaths, which come with their own harder restrictions, which can't encode non-UTF8 data. While this doesn't change any of the wire format of the gRPC messages, it does however change the interface of tvix_eval::EvalIO - its read_dir() method does now return a list of Vec<u8>, rather than SmolStr. Maybe this should be OsString instead?

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

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.

Instead of using a suspended native thunk, calculate and optionally insert the storeDir builtin when the VM is constructed. We already have the IO handle available at this point and can just check whether a storeDir is present, and insert its absolute value as a builtin.

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.

2023-02-02 r/5823 fix(tvix/eval): unsafeDiscardStringContext is a no-opVincent Ambo1-4/+2
... not just a TODO. Most use-cases of unsafeDiscardStringContext are for cases where a string is processed in some ways and no longer contains a "physical" reference, but still has its context attached in C++ Nix. We don't need to do this. This does diverge in behaviour in use-cases related to build scheduling, but that whole behaviour will be different in Tvix.
