2024-04-09 r/7882 fix(tvix): Avoid buffering file into memory in builtins.hashFileConnor Brewster1-4/+5
Right now `builtins.hashFile` always reads the entire file into memory before hashing, which is not ideal for large files. This replaces `read_to_string` with `open_file` which allows calculating the hash of the file without buffering it entirely into memory. Other callers can continue to buffer into memory if they choose, but they still use the `open_file` VM request and then call `read_to_string` or `read_to_end` on the `std::io::Reader`.

2024-02-21 r/7591 feat(tvix/eval): Store string context alongside dataAspen Smith1-1/+1
Previously, Nix strings were represented as a Box (within Value) pointing to a tuple of an optional context, and another Box pointing to the actual string allocation itself. This is pretty inefficient, both in terms of memory usage (we use 48 whole bytes for a None context!) and in terms of the extra indirection required to get at the actual data. It was necessary, however, because with native Rust DSTs if we had something like `struct NixString(Option<NixContext>, BStr)` we could only pass around *fat* pointers to that value (with the length in the pointer) and that'd make Value need to be bigger (which is a waste of both memory and cache space, since that memory would be unused for all other Values). Instead, this commit implements *manual* allocation of a packed string representation, with the length *in the allocation* as a field past the context. This requires a big old pile of unsafe Rust, but the payoff is clear: hello outpath time: [882.18 ms 897.16 ms 911.23 ms] change: [-15.143% -13.819% -12.500%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05) Performance has improved. Fortunately this change can be localized entirely within value/string.rs, since we were abstracting things out nicely.

With this change it's no longer necessary to track the SourceCode struct separately from the evaluation for error reporting: It's just stored directly in the errors. This also ends up resolving an issue in compiler::bindings, where we cloned the Arc containing file references way too often. In fact those clones probably compensate for all additional SourceCode clones during error construction now.

This was well-intentioned, but now the boxed Path values are actually the *largest* Value enum variants, at 16 bytes (because they're fat-pointers, with a len) instead of 8 bytes like all the other values.

2024-01-31 r/7460 fix(tvix): Represent strings as byte arraysAspen Smith2-3/+4
C++ nix uses C-style zero-terminated char pointers to represent strings internally - however, up to this point, tvix has used Rust `String` and `str` for string values. Since those are required to be valid utf-8, we haven't been able to properly represent all the string values that Nix supports. To fix that, this change converts the internal representation of the NixString struct from `Box<str>` to `BString`, from the `bstr` crate - this is a wrapper around a `Vec<u8>` with extra functions for treating that byte vector as a "morally string-like" value, which is basically exactly what we need. Since this changes a pretty fundamental assumption about a pretty core type, there are a *lot* of changes in a lot of places to make this work, but I've tried to keep the general philosophy and intent of most of the code in most places intact. Most notably, there's nothing that's been done to make the derivation stuff in //tvix/glue work with non-utf8 strings everywhere, instead opting to just convert to String/str when passing things into that - there *might* be something to be done there, but I don't know what the rules should be and I don't want to figure them out in this change. To deal with OS-native paths in a way that also works in WASM for tvixbolt, this also adds a dependency on the "os_str_bytes" crate.

I've noticed this behavior when writing the admittedly cursed test case included in this CL. Alternatively we could use some sort of machinery using `builtins.trace`, but I don't think we capture stderr anywhere. I've elected to put this into the eval cache itself while C++ Nix does it in builtins.import already, namely via `realisePath`. We don't have an equivalent for this yet, since we don't support any kind of IfD, but we could revise that later. In any case, it seems good to encapsulate `ImportCache` in this way, as it'll also allow using file hashes as identifiers, for example. C++ Nix also does our equivalent of canon_path in `builtins.import` which we still don't, but I suspect it hardly makes a difference.

2023-06-20 r/6336 fix(tvix/eval): only finalise formal arguments if defaultingsterni1-34/+165
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).

Unary operator applications are thunked which can easily be observed by nix-instantiate --eval -E '[ (!true) (-1) ]' Unfortunately, there are few simple expressions where this makes a difference in the end result.

This means that an unthunked <stdenv.cc.isGNU or false> OpForce OpInvert would be performed in order to assemble this attribute set, causing stdenv.cc to be evaluated too early, causing an infinite recursion. Resolves b/273. It seems that having a test suite that doesn't use --strict and relies on thunks rendered as <CODE> would be beneficial for catching such issues.

2023-05-25 r/6204 feat(tvix/eval): implement unthunking in compilerVincent Ambo1-1/+22
This feature allows the compiler to detect situations where the created thunk is useless and can be merged into the parent chunk instead. The only case where the compiler does this initially is when statically optimising a select expression. For example, previously the expression `builtins.length` compiled into two thunks: 1. An "inner" thunk which contained an `OpConstant` that had the optimised `length` builtin in it. 2. An "outer" thunk which contained an `OpConstant` to access the inner thunk, and the trailing OpForce of the top-level program. With this change, the inner thunk is skipped completely and the outer chunk directly contains the `length` builtin access. This can be applied in several situations, some easier than others, and we will add them in as we go along.

2023-03-17 r/6027 fix(tvix/eval): use span of `set` for OpForce in attribute accessVincent Ambo1-2/+2
Emits the span of the `set` that is being accessed in the `force` operation of an attribute access. Looking at traces, it's a lot more useful to get information about *what* is being forced, as in cases like `foo.bar` it can be misleading to have an error highlight `bar`, when the error occured while forcing `foo` to be able to access `bar` in the first place.

This produces traces in which we can see what kind of native code was run. Note that these "names" are named after the generator message, so these aren't *really* intended for end-user consumption, but we can give them saner names later. Example: https://gist.github.com/tazjin/82b24e92ace8e821008954867ee05057 This already makes the traces a little easier to parse.

2023-03-17 r/6023 feat(tvix/eval): enrich errors with VM's frame stack informationVincent Ambo1-1/+2
When emitting an error at runtime, the VM will now use the new `NativeError` and `BytecodeError` error kinds (which just wrap inner errors) to create a set of diagnostics to emit. The primary diagnostic is emitted last, with `error` type (so it will be coloured red in terminals), the other ones will be emitted with `note` type, highlighting the causal chain. Example: https://gist.github.com/tazjin/25feba7d211702453c9ebd5f8fd378e4 This is currently quite verbose, and we can cut down on this further, but the purpose of this commit is to surface more information first of all before worrying about the exact display.

2023-03-13 r/5964 refactor(tvix/eval): flatten call stack of VM using generatorsVincent Ambo2-76/+95
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.

Stop emitting the less informative warning inside compile_dead_code (W008), and update the comment that we expect the caller to emit a warning. I kept W008 itself still around, in case we end up having places this will get used again.
