wasmtime/runtime/vm/traphandlers/backtrace.rs
1//! Backtrace and stack walking functionality for Wasm.
2//!
3//! Walking the Wasm stack is comprised of
4//!
5//! 1. identifying sequences of contiguous Wasm frames on the stack
6//! (i.e. skipping over native host frames), and
7//!
8//! 2. walking the Wasm frames within such a sequence.
9//!
10//! To perform (1) we maintain the entry stack pointer (SP) and exit frame
11//! pointer (FP) and program counter (PC) each time we call into Wasm and Wasm
12//! calls into the host via trampolines (see
13//! `crates/wasmtime/src/runtime/vm/trampolines`). The most recent entry is
14//! stored in `VMStoreContext` and older entries are saved in
15//! `CallThreadState`. This lets us identify ranges of contiguous Wasm frames on
16//! the stack.
17//!
18//! To solve (2) and walk the Wasm frames within a region of contiguous Wasm
19//! frames on the stack, we configure Cranelift's `preserve_frame_pointers =
20//! true` setting. Then we can do simple frame pointer traversal starting at the
21//! exit FP and stopping once we reach the entry SP (meaning that the next older
22//! frame is a host frame).
