2024-02-13 r/7506 fix(tvix/eval): Replace inner NixString repr with Box<Bstr>Aspen Smith1-1/+1
Storing a full BString here incurs the extra overhead of the capacity for the inner byte-vector, which we basically never use as Nix strings are immutable (and we don't do any mutation / sharing analysis). Switching to a Box<BStr> cuts us from 72 bytes to 64 bytes per string (and there are a lot of strings!)

2024-02-10 r/7496 refactor(tvix/eval): Box the inside of Value::JsonAspen Smith1-1/+1
serde_json::Value is pretty large, and is contributing (albeit not exclusively) to the large size of the Value repr. Putting it in a box is *especially* cheap (since it's rarely used) and allows us to (eventually) cut down on the size of Value.

NixString is *quite* large - like 80 bytes - because of the extra capacity value for BString and because of the context. We want to keep Value small since we're passing it around a lot, so let's box the NixString inside Value::String to save on some memory, and make cloning ostensibly a little cheaper Change-Id: I343c8b4e7f61dc3dcbbaba4382efb3b3e5bbabb2 Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/10729 Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Reviewed-by: sterni <sternenseemann@systemli.org>
2024-02-01 r/7461 refactor(tvix/eval): Don't double-box Path valuesAspen Smith1-3/+3
PathBuf internally contains a heap pointer (an OsString), so we were in effect double-boxing here. Removing the extra layer by making Tvix::Value represented by a Box<Path> rather than a Box<PathBuf> saves us an indirection, while still avoiding the extra memory overhead of the capacity which was the reason we were boxing PathBuf in the first place.

2024-01-31 r/7460 fix(tvix): Represent strings as byte arraysAspen Smith1-12/+13
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.

2023-12-14 r/7218 fix(tvix/eval): remove incorrect imports when coercingsterni2-12/+68
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.

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/7172 feat(tvix/eval): drop LightSpan::DelayedAdam Joseph1-1/+1
LightSpan::Delayed was introduced in commit bf286a54bc2ac5eeb78c3d5c5ae66e9af24d74d4 which claimed that "This reduces the eval time for `builtins.length (builtins.attrNames (import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one third*!" I am unable to reproduce this result. In fact, dropping the LightSpan::Delayed variant of the enum makes eval of the same expression slightly faster! I also tried a large evaluation (pkgsCross...hello) and got similar results: slightly faster, slightly less memory. See git footers. I suspect that there was some unrelated horrific inefficiency that has since been fixed. The avoided computation in `get_span()` is nothing more than a binary search! If this were in fact a major performance issue we could simply precompute the mapping from CodeIdx to Span when the Chunk becomes immutable (i.e. at the end of the compilation process, when compiler backtracking is no longer a concern). Since a Span is just 64 bits this is not a space issue, and since binary search is much simpler than compiling Nix expressions it isn't a performance issue either. Technically there is no longer any reason to have LightSpan since it is now a single-variant enum. However there is no rush to remove it, since Rust will optimize its representation into the same thing you'd get if you replaced LightSpan by Span.

2023-12-12 r/7166 fix(tvix/eval): never use partial_cmp() (partial fix b/338)Adam Joseph1-4/+4
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 Joseph1-1/+1
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).

2023-07-21 r/6436 refactor(tvix/store): use bytes for node names and symlink targetsFlorian Klink1-3/+2
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?

2023-06-21 r/6341 fix(tvix/eval): use realpaths for import cachesterni2-3/+39
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 defaultingsterni1-13/+17
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).
