In December 2021, we opened an [issue] to solicit feedback regarding the
porting of the YJIT codebase from C99 to Rust. There were some
reservations, but this project was given the go ahead by Ruby core
developers and Matz. Since then, we have successfully completed the port
of YJIT to Rust.
The new Rust version of YJIT has reached parity with the C version, in
that it passes all the CRuby tests, is able to run all of the YJIT
benchmarks, and performs similarly to the C version (because it works
the same way and largely generates the same machine code). We've even
incorporated some design improvements, such as a more fine-grained
constant invalidation mechanism which we expect will make a big
difference in Ruby on Rails applications.
Because we want to be careful, YJIT is guarded behind a configure
option:
```shell
./configure --enable-yjit # Build YJIT in release mode
./configure --enable-yjit=dev # Build YJIT in dev/debug mode
```
By default, YJIT does not get compiled and cargo/rustc is not required.
If YJIT is built in dev mode, then `cargo` is used to fetch development
dependencies, but when building in release, `cargo` is not required,
only `rustc`. At the moment YJIT requires Rust 1.60.0 or newer.
The YJIT command-line options remain mostly unchanged, and more details
about the build process are documented in `doc/yjit/yjit.md`.
The CI tests have been updated and do not take any more resources than
before.
The development history of the Rust port is available at the following
commit for interested parties:
https://github.com/Shopify/ruby/commit/1fd9573d8b4b65219f1c2407f30a0a60e537f8be
Our hope is that Rust YJIT will be compiled and included as a part of
system packages and compiled binaries of the Ruby 3.2 release. We do not
anticipate any major problems as Rust is well supported on every
platform which YJIT supports, but to make sure that this process works
smoothly, we would like to reach out to those who take care of building
systems packages before the 3.2 release is shipped and resolve any
issues that may come up.

Previously, YJIT assumed that basic blocks never consume more than
1 KiB of memory. This assumption does not hold for long Ruby methods
such as the one in the following:
```ruby
eval(<<RUBY)
def set_local_a_lot
#{'_=0;'*0x40000}
end
RUBY
set_local_a_lot
```
For low `--yjit-exec-mem-size` values, one basic block could exhaust the
entire buffer.
Introduce a new field `codeblock_t::dropped_bytes` that the assembler
sets whenever it runs out of space. Check this field in
gen_single_block() to respond to out of memory situations and other
error conditions. This design avoids making the control flow graph of
existing code generation functions more complex.
Use POSIX shell in misc/test_yjit_asm.sh since bash is expanding
`0%/*/*` differently.

Some platforms don't want memory to be marked as writeable and
executable at the same time. When we write to the code block, we
calculate the OS page that the buffer position maps to. Then we call
`mprotect` to allow writes on that particular page. As an optimization,
we cache the "last written" aligned page which allows us to amortize the
cost of the `mprotect` call. In other words, sequential writes to the
same page will only call `mprotect` on the page once.
When we're done writing, we call `mprotect` on the entire JIT buffer.
This means we don't need to keep track of which pages were marked as
writeable, we let the OS take care of that.

* YJIT: use shorter encoding for mov(r64,imm) when unambiguous
Previously, for small constants such as `mov(RAX, imm_opnd(Qundef))`,
we emit an instruction with an 8-byte immediate. This form commonly
gets the `movabs` mnemonic.
In 64-bit mode, 32-bit operands get zero extended to 64-bit to fill the
register, so when the immediate is small enough, we can save 4 bytes by
using the `mov` variant that takes a 32-bit immediate and does a zero
extension.
Not implement with this change, there is an imm32 variant of `mov` that
does sign extension we could use. When the constant is negative, we
fallback to the `movabs` form.
In railsbench, this change yields roughly a 12% code size reduction for
the outlined block.
