Segue is an optimization technology which uses x86 segment register to store the WebAssembly linear memory base address, so as to remove most of the cost of SFI (Software-based Fault Isolation) base addition and free up a general purpose register, by this way it may: - Improve the performance of JIT/AOT - Reduce the footprint of JIT/AOT, the JIT/AOT code generated is smaller - Reduce the compilation time of JIT/AOT This PR uses the x86-64 GS segment register to apply the optimization, currently it supports linux and linux-sgx platforms on x86-64 target. By default it is disabled, developer can use the option below to enable it for wamrc and iwasm(with LLVM JIT enabled): ```bash wamrc --enable-segue=[<flags>] -o output_file wasm_file iwasm --enable-segue=[<flags>] wasm_file [args...] ``` `flags` can be: i32.load, i64.load, f32.load, f64.load, v128.load, i32.store, i64.store, f32.store, f64.store, v128.store Use comma to separate them, e.g. `--enable-segue=i32.load,i64.store`, and `--enable-segue` means all flags are added.

WebAssembly Micro Runtime Attributions
WAMR project reused some components from other open source project:
- cJson: used in the host_tool for remotely managing wasm applications
- contiki-ng: for the coap protocol implementation
- freebsd libm: used in core/shared/platform/alios/bh_math.c
- LVGL: for the gui samples and wrapped the wasm graphic layer
- llvm: for the AOT/JIT compilation
- wasm-c-api: to implement the C-APIs of wasm. using headers and sameples
- wasmtime: for the wasi libc implementation
- zephyr: for several platform specific examples
- WebAssembly debugging patch for LLDB: for extending the ability of LLDB to support wasm debugging
- libuv: for the WASI Libc with uvwasi implementation
- uvwasi: for the WASI Libc with uvwasi implementation
- asmjit: for the Fast JIT x86-64 codegen implementation
- zydis: for the Fast JIT x86-64 codegen implementation
- NuttX ELF headers: used in core/iwasm/aot/debug/elf_parser.c
- Dhrystone: for the test benchmakr dhrystone
The WAMR fast interpreter is a clean room development. We would acknowledge the inspirations by WASM3 open source project for the approach of pre-calculated oprand stack location.
