2023-12-12 r/7167 feat(tvix/eval): nonrecursive nix_cmp_ordering(), fixes b/339Adam Joseph2-0/+0
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.

2023-07-11 r/6405 docs(tvix): document when pointer equality is preserved in C++ Nixsterni4-5/+39
This explicitly documents behavior of C++ Nix that goes against the intuition you'd gather from this document: that e.g. a simple select from an attribute set causes a value to no longer be pointer equal to its former self. The point of documenting this is that we can show in a to be written section on the use of pointer equality in nixpkgs that pointer equality is only needed in a limited sense for evaluating it (C++ Nix's exterior pointer equality). Tvix's pointer equality is far more powerful since value identity preserving operations also preserve pointer equality, generally speaking (this is because we implement interior pointer equality in my made up terminology). This should eventually also be documented.

2023-07-11 r/6404 fix(tvix/eval): use byte, not codepoint index for slicing in escapesterni2-0/+7
This fixes a subtle issue which would occasionally lead to a crash (e.g. when evaluating (pkgs.systemd.outPath with --trace-runtime): With each character in the string that has a multi byte representation in UTF-8, the actual byte position and what tvix thought it was would get out of sync. This could either lead to * Tvix swallowing characters or jumbling characters if multi byte characters would cause the tracked index to become out of sync with the byte position before the first character to be escaped, or * Tvix crashing if (in the same situation) the out of sync index would be within a UTF-8 byte sequence. Luckily, std's `char_indices()` iterator implements exactly what `nix_escape_char()`'s original author had in mind with `.chars().enumerate()`. Using `i + 1` for continuing is safe, since all characters that need (in fact, can) to be escaped in Nix are represented as a single byte in UTF-8.

2023-06-21 r/6341 fix(tvix/eval): use realpaths for import cachesterni5-0/+11
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 defaultingsterni2-0/+21
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).

2023-06-15 r/6308 fix(tvix/eval): make tvix display values like nix-instantiate(1)sterni6-0/+55
In order for the test suite we have currently to be comparable to C++ Nix, we need to display values in the same way. This was largely the case except in some weird cases. * <CODE> for thunks and <CYCLE> for repeated thunks (?) are already in use. <CODE> formatting is tested by the oracle test suite already. * Instead of lambda, we need to use <LAMBDA> * <<primop>> and <<primop-app>> (a formatting C++ Nix uses nowhere) now are <PRIMOP> and <PRIMOP-APP>. We'll probably want to have a fancier display of values (in a separate trait) down the line. This could be used for interactive usage, e.g. the REPL or a potential debugger. There is a peculiarity with C++ Nix 2.3 formatting primops: import is considered a <<PRIMOP-APP>>, since it is internally implemented by means of scopedImport. This implementation detail no longer leaks in C++ Nix 2.13 nor in Tvix. <CYCLE> display is untested at the moment, since we exhibit a discrepancy to C++ Nix 2.3. Our current detection is more similar to C++ Nix 2.13—luckily it is also the more consistent of the two. See also b/245.

2023-05-26 r/6207 fix(tvix): don't call function eagerly in genList, map & mapAttrssterni2-0/+32
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 Ambo1-3/+3
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 Ambo1-1/+6
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.

2023-01-25 r/5753 feat(tvix/eval): use lexical-core to format floatFlorian Klink2-2/+2
Apparently our naive implementation of float formatting, which simply used {:.5}, and trimmed trailing "0" strings not sufficient. It wrongly trimmed numbers with zeroes but no decimal point, like `10000` got trimmed to `1`. Nix uses `std::to_string` on the double, which according to https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/to_string is equivalent to `std::sprintf(buf, "%f", value)`. https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fprintf mentions this is treated like this: > Precision specifies the exact number of digits to appear after > the decimal point character. The default precision is 6. In the > alternative implementation decimal point character is written even if > no digits follow it. For infinity and not-a-number conversion style > see notes. This doesn't seem to be the case though, and Nix uses scientific notation in some cases. There's a whole bunch of strategies to determine which is a more compact notation, and which notation should be used for a given number. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/24556 provides some pointers into various rabbit holes for those interested. This gist seems to be that currently a different formatting is not exposed in rust directly, at least not for public consumption. There is the [lexical-core](https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/rust-lexical) crate though, which provides a way to format floats with various strategies and formats. Change our implementation of `TotalDisplay` for the `Value::Float` case to use that. We still need to do some post-processing, because Nix always adds the sign in scientific notation (and there's no way to configure lexical-core to do that), and lexical-core in some cases keeps the trailing zeros. Even with all that in place, there as a difference in `eval-okay- fromjson.nix` (from tvix-tests), which I couldn't get to work. I updated the fixture to a less problematic number. With this, the testsuite passes again, and does for the upcoming CL introducing builtins.fromTOML, and enabling the nix testsuite bits for it, too.

This is a somewhat terrifying hack that enables us to support `builtins.builtins`, by running a "fake compilation" inside of a suspended native thunk that can resolve the weak pointer to the globals. With this implementation, the thunk at `builtins.builtins` actually resolves to the "real" `builtins` (verified with a new test). This is kind of ugly, and it's something users shouldn't use, but bubbling a warning out of this is difficult at the moment due to a little bit of trickery with how the spans in suspended native thunks work (they don't) (see b/237, b/238) Change-Id: I67d0e93246dd5b279c960aeda00402031aa12af3 Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/7748 Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Reviewed-by: flokli <flokli@flokli.de>

2023-01-04 r/5581 refactor(tvix/eval): streamline construction of globals/builtinsVincent Ambo1-2/+1
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).
