Bumps wasmi from 0.32.0-beta.7 to 0.32.0-beta.8.

Release notes

Sourced from wasmi's releases.

v0.32.0-beta.8 - 2024-03-23

Note:

• This is the beta of the upcoming v0.32.0 release. This version is not production ready yet and might contain serious bugs. Please use this only for experimentation or at your own risk.
• Performance tests indicated that the new register-machine bytecode based Wasmi engine performance is very sensitive to hardware or OS specifics which may lead to very different performance characteristics.
  • We are working on fixing this until the stable release.
  • Measurements concluded that execution performance can be equal or sometimes even surpass Wasm3 execution performance.

Added

• Added a new execution engine based on register-machine bytecode. (wasmi-labs/wasmi#729)
  • The register-machine Wasmi Engine executes roughly 80-100% faster and compiles roughly 30% slower according to benchmarks conducted so far.
• Added Module::new_unchecked API. (wasmi-labs/wasmi#829)
  • This allows to compile a Wasm module without Wasm validation which can be useful when users know that their inputs are valid Wasm binaries.
  • This improves Wasm compilation performance for faster startup times by roughly 10-20%.
• Added Wasm compilation modes. (wasmi-labs/wasmi#844)
  • When using Module::new Wasmi eagerly compiles Wasm bytecode into Wasmi bytecode which is optimized for efficient execution. However, this compilation can become very costly especially for large Wasm binaries.
  • The solution to this problem is to introduce new compilation modes, namely:
    • CompilationMode::Eager: Eager compilation, what Wasmi did so far. (default)
    • CompilationMode::LazyTranslation: Eager Wasm validation and lazy Wasm translation.
    • CompilationMode::Lazy: Lazy Wasm validation and translation.
  • Benchmarks concluded that
    • CompilationMode::LazyTanslation: Usually improves startup performance by a factor of 2 to 3.
    • CompilationMode::Lazy: Usually improves startup performance by a factor of up to 27.
  • Note that CompilationMode::Lazy can lead to partially validated Wasm modules which can introduce non-determinism when using different Wasm implementations. Therefore users should know what they are doing when using CompilationMode::Lazy if this is a concern.
  • Enable lazy Wasm compilation with:

    let mut config = wasmi::Config::default();
    config.compilation_mode(wasmi::CompilationMode::Lazy);

  • When CompilationMode::Lazy or CompilationMode::LazyTranslation and fuel metering is enabled the first function access that triggers compilation (and validation) will charge fuel respective to the number of bytes of the Wasm function body. (wasmi-labs/wasmi#876)
• Added Module::validate API. (wasmi-labs/wasmi#840)
  • This allows to quickly check if a Wasm binary is valid according to a Wasmi Engine config.
  • Note that this does not translate the Wasm and thus Module::new or Module::new_unchecked might still fail due to translation errors.
• CLI: Added --compilation-mode argument to enable lazy Wasm compilation. (wasmi-labs/wasmi#849)
• Added --verbose mode to Wasmi CLI by @​tjpalmer. (wasmi-labs/wasmi#957)

Looks like wasmi is up-to-date now, so this is no longer needed.
