2023-12-29 r/7282 feat(tvix/eval): context-aware casting to stringsRyan Lahfa1-2/+23
By default, we don't want contextful strings and we almost always want contextless strings. To this end, we make taking a contextful string a very explicit operation under `to_contextful_str` and we implement manually the `to_str` cast which requires a `if !s.has_context()` guard that the macro cannot cover.

2023-12-25 r/7264 fix(tvix/eval/value): correctly emit spaces when coercing listssterni1-2/+17
r/7176 introduced an incorrect assumption was the benefit of the nonrecursive coercion algorithm, namely that a coercion operation always returns a non empty string. This allows to detect whether we are coercing a list or not by checking if the intermediate result is empty or not. Unfortunately, coercing null and false yields an empty string, so we need to explicitly track whether we are coercing a list. Updated the test case to hopefully catch similar bugs in the future. I'm not a hundred percent certain I have not introduced a new edge case with this, so it may be interesting to add a prop test case for this to nix_oracle down the line. At least lists are the only nested data structures that can be serialized as nested data structures, so the problem is kind of limited.

2023-12-14 r/7218 fix(tvix/eval): remove incorrect imports when coercingsterni2-18/+43
The default behavior of string coercion in C++ Nix is to weakly coerce and import to store if necessary. There is a flag to make it strongly coerce (coerceMore) and a flag that controls whether path values have the corresponding file/directory imported into the store before returning the (store) path as a string (copyToStore). We need to implement our equivalent to the copyToStore (import_paths) flag for the benefit of weak coercions that don't import into the store (dirOf, baseNameOf, readFile, ...) and strong coercions that don't import into the store (toString). This makes coerce_to_string as well as CoercionKind weirder and more versatile, but prevents us from reimplementing parts of the coercion logic constantly as can be seen in the case of baseNameOf. Note that it is not possible to test this properly in //tvix/eval tests due to the lack of an appropriate EvalIO implementation being available. Tests should be added to //tvix/glue down the line.

This commit adds Opcode::OpJumpIfCatchable, which can be inserted ahead of most VM operations which expect a boolean on the stack, in order to handle catchables in branching position properly. Other than remembering to patch the jump, no other changes should be required. This commit also fixes b/343 by emitting this new opcode when compiling if-then-else. There are probably other places where we need to do the same thing.

2023-12-12 r/7176 feat(tvix/eval): nonrecursive coerce_to_string()Adam Joseph3-111/+113
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!)

2023-12-12 r/7166 fix(tvix/eval): never use partial_cmp() (partial fix b/338)Adam Joseph1-18/+11
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>.

2023-12-06 r/7120 feat(tvix/eval): rewrite Thunk::force() in nonrecursive formAdam Joseph2-63/+96
This commit rewrites Thunk::force() so that it is not (directly) self-recursive. It maintains a Vec of all the previously-encountered thunks which point to the one it is currently forcing, rather than recursively calling itself. Benefits: - Short term: This commit saves the cost of a round-trip through the generator machinery for the generators::request_force() which is removed by this commit. - Medium term: Once a similar transformation has been applied to nix_cmp(), nix_add(), nix_eq(), and coerce_to_string(), those four functions, along with Thunk::force(), will make non-tail calls only to each other. They can then be merged into a single tail-recursive function which does not use the generator machinery at all: enum Task { Cmp, Add, Eq, CoerceToString, Force}; fn Value::walk(task:Task, v1:Value, v2:Value) { // ... - Long term: The long-term goal here is to use generators **only for builtins** and [Marionette]-style remote control of the VM. In other words: use `async` for things that actually involve concurrency. Calls from the VM to builtins can then be blocking calls, because even cppnix will overflow the stack if you make a MAX_STACK_DEPTH-deep recursive call which passes through a builtin at every stack frame (e.g. `{ func = builtins.sort (a: b: ... func ...) ...}`). This way the inner "tight loop" of the interpreter doesn't pay the costs of `async` and generators. These costs manifest in terms of: performance, complex nonlocal control flow, and language impediments (async Rust is a restricted subset of real Rust, and is missing things like traits).

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.

2023-06-20 r/6336 fix(tvix/eval): only finalise formal arguments if defaultingsterni2-4/+15
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.

2023-06-15 r/6308 fix(tvix/eval): make tvix display values like nix-instantiate(1)sterni2-3/+4
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.

C++ Nix forces and typechecks the passed argument even if it is not necessary in order to compute the return value of the function.

2023-05-26 r/6207 fix(tvix): don't call function eagerly in genList, map & mapAttrssterni1-0/+31
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.

2023-03-17 r/6026 feat(tvix/eval): report all known spans on infinite recursionVincent Ambo1-4/+38
This reports the span 1. of the code within a thunk, 2. of the place where the thunk was instantiated, 3. of the place where the thunk was first forced, 4. of the place where the thunk was forced again, when yielding an infinite recursion error, which hopefully makes it easier to debug them. The spans are tracked in the ThunkRepr::Blackhole variant when putting a thunk under evaluation. Note that we currently have some loss of span precision in the VM loop when switching between frame types, so spans 3/4 are currently a bit wonky. Working on it.

This is step 1 towards being able to use all 4 spans that we know when dealing with infinite recursion. It tracks the span at which the force of a thunk was first requested when constructing a blackhole, so that we can highlight the spans of the first and second forces. These are actually the least relevant spans, but the easiest to put in place, more coming soon.

2023-03-13 r/5991 chore(tvix/eval): mark async functions which are called by the VMAdam Joseph2-0/+6
Given Rust's current lack of support for tail calls, we cannot avoid using `async` for builtins. This is the only way to avoid overflowing the cpu stack when we have arbitrarily deep builtin/interpreted/builtin/interpreted/... "sandwiches" There are only five `async fn` functions which are not builtins (some come in multiple "flavors"): - add_values - resolve_with - force, final_deep_force - nix_eq, nix_cmp_eq - coerce_to_string These can be written iteratively rather than recursively (and in fact nix_eq used to be written that way!). I volunteer to rewrite them. If written iteratively they would no longer need to be `async`. There are two motivations for limiting our reliance on `async` to only the situation (builtins) where we have no other choice: 1. Performance. We don't really have any good measurement of the performance hit that the Box<dyn Future>s impose on us. Right now all of our large (nixpkgs-eval) tests are swamped by the cost of other things (e.g. fork()ing `nix-store`) so we can't really measure it. Builtins tend to be expensive operations anyways (regexp-matching, sorting, etc) that are likely to already cost more than the `async` overhead. 2. Preserving the ability to switch to `musttail` calls. Clang/LLVM recently got `musttail` (mandatory-elimination tail calls). Rust has refused to add this mainly because WASM doesn't support, but WASM `tail_call` has been implemented and was recently moved to phase 4 (standardization). It is very likely that Rust will get tail calls sometime in the next year; if it does, we won't need async anymore. In the meantime, I'd like to avoid adding any further reliance on `async` in places where it wouldn't be straightforward to replace it with a tail call. https://reviews.llvm.org/D99517 https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/pull/157 https: //github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/2691#issuecomment-1462152908 Change-Id: Id15945d5a92bf52c16d93456e3437f91d93bdc57 Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/8290 Reviewed-by: tazjin <tazjin@tvl.su> Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Autosubmit: Adam Joseph <adam@westernsemico.com>
