Remove the ModuleLimits

Remove the ModuleLimits
pooling configuration structure
#3837
Conversation
This commit is an attempt to improve the usability of the pooling allocator by removing the need to configure a `ModuleLimits` structure. Internally this structure has limits on all forms of wasm constructs but this largely bottoms out in the size of an allocation for an instance in the instance pooling allocator. Maintaining this list of limits can be cumbersome as modules may get tweaked over time and there's otherwise no real reason to limit the number of globals in a module since the main goal is to limit the memory consumption of a `VMContext` which can be done with a memory allocation limit rather than fine-tuned control over each maximum and minimum. The new approach taken in this commit is to remove `ModuleLimits`. Some fields, such as `tables`, `table_elements` , `memories`, and `memory_pages` are moved to `InstanceLimits` since they're still enforced at runtime. A new field `size` is added to `InstanceLimits` which indicates, in bytes, the maximum size of the `VMContext` allocation. If the size of a `VMContext` for a module exceeds this value then instantiation will fail. This involved adding a few more checks to `{Table, Memory}::new_static` to ensure that the minimum size is able to fit in the allocation, since previously modules were validated at compile time of the module that everything fit and that validation no longer happens (it happens at runtime). A consequence of this commit is that Wasmtime will have no built-in way to reject modules at compile time if they'll fail to be instantiated within a particular pooling allocator configuration. Instead a module must attempt instantiation see if a failure happens.

Looks great, just a few nits that can be ignored if desired.
I think this will make it much easier to bump limits rather than the unnecessarily finer-grained control from the previous limits implementation.
This allows for getting an early signal at compile time that a module will never be instantiable in an engine with matching settings.
Improve the error message when an instance size exceeds the maximum by providing a breakdown of where the bytes are all going and why the large size is being requested.
Sizes are all specific to 64-bit right now

This commit is an attempt to improve the usability of the pooling
allocator by removing the need to configure a
ModuleLimits
structure.Internally this structure has limits on all forms of wasm constructs but
this largely bottoms out in the size of an allocation for an instance in
the instance pooling allocator. Maintaining this list of limits can be
cumbersome as modules may get tweaked over time and there's otherwise no
real reason to limit the number of globals in a module since the main
goal is to limit the memory consumption of a
VMContext
which can bedone with a memory allocation limit rather than fine-tuned control over
each maximum and minimum.
The new approach taken in this commit is to remove
ModuleLimits
. Somefields, such as
tables
,table_elements
,memories
, andmemory_pages
are moved toInstanceLimits
since they're stillenforced at runtime. A new field
size
is added toInstanceLimits
which indicates, in bytes, the maximum size of the
VMContext
allocation. If the size of a
VMContext
for a module exceeds this valuethen instantiation will fail.
This involved adding a few more checks to
{Table, Memory}::new_static
to ensure that the minimum size is able to fit in the allocation, since
previously modules were validated at compile time of the module that
everything fit and that validation no longer happens (it happens at
runtime).
A consequence of this commit is that Wasmtime will have no built-in way
to reject modules at compile time if they'll fail to be instantiated
within a particular pooling allocator configuration. Instead a module
must attempt instantiation see if a failure happens.
