IELE Execution

IELE is a register-based abstract machine over some simple opcodes. Most of the opcodes are "local" to the execution state of the machine, but some of them must interact with the world state. This file only defines the local execution operations. A separate cardano.md will eventually be created to describe the remainder of the transaction protocol.

Configuration

We've broken up the configuration into two components; those parts of the state that mutate during execution of a single transaction and those that are static throughout. In the comments next to each cell, we explain the purpose of the cell.

    configuration <k/>                                               // Current computation
                  <exit-code exit=""> 1 </exit-code>                 // Exit code of interpreter process

Uninitialized Accounts

An account to which code has never been deployed has a size in bytes of zero, but contains an implicit public function @deposit which takes no arguments, returns no values, and does nothing. This function exists to allow accounts to receive payment even if they do not have a contract deployed to them. Note that a contract can forbid payments by refusing to declare the @deposit function, and explicitly raising an exception if any of its entry points are invoked with a balance transfer.

Note that the syntax used in the following #emptyCode macro is desugared IELE syntax, where contracts have a size in bytes metadata attachment (!0 here) and argument lists are replaced with an integer value representing arity (0 here).

    syntax IeleNameToken ::= "Main" [token]

endmodule

The network state is closely based on the EVM blockchain, with the state mainly consisting of information on a set of accounts, and funds being held by accounts rather than following the Bitcoin "UTXO" model.

Accounts are divided into smart contracts, which accept calls and disburse funds according only to their code, and simple wallets which can receive deposits but contain no smart contract code, and are operated by a person off-chain system holding a corresponding private key.

There is no clear division in the address space between smart contracts and wallets, but it is intended to be impossible for a smart contract to exist at an address for which anybody knows a corresponding private key, so that clients of that contract can be sure that its funds will only be used according to the contract code.

When calling a function on an account, the caller may include funds to be given to the receiver. In the syntax of the call instruction this quantity comes after the send keyword. This is also the only way to transfer funds between accounts. To allow sending funds to simple wallets, those accounts act as if they have a single public function named deposit which takes no arguments and immediately returns successfully when called (thus keeping any funds which were sent).

To allow people to set up a simple wallet without needing to send any blockchain transactions, we need to allow deposit to be called on accounts that have never previously been mentioned on the blockchain. In this case the account is initialized as an "empty" account, which has a balance but no contract code.

A complication is that a call to deposit can create such an "empty account" at the address where a new smart contract will later be created, because it is sometimes feasible to predict the addresses of new contracts. The prevent this from being a possible denial of service attack, we allow the new smart contract to be created anyway in this case, setting up its code an persistent storage and inheriting any funds which were already held at that address. This is a bit unfortunate but it doesn't compromise the security guarantee that a smart contract account never exists at an address for which anybody knows a private key.

Description of registers.

  • Registers begin with %
  • Registers are evaluated using heating to the values they contain.
  • #regRange(N) generates the registers 0 to N-1.

    rule lookupRegisters(% REG:Int, OPS, REGS) => getInt(REGS [ REG ]) , lookupRegisters(OPS, REGS)
    rule lookupRegisters(.Operands, _) => .NonEmptyInts

    syntax LValues ::= #regRange ( Int ) [function]
                     | #regRange ( Int , Int ) [function, klabel(#regRangeAux)]
 // ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Execution Step

When an instruction reaches the top of the K cell, we first heat its registers, then compute gas cost, then execute the instruction itself.

    syntax InternalOp ::= "#exec" Instruction
                        | "#gas" "[" Instruction "]" 
 // ------------------------------------------------
    rule <k> OP:Instruction => #gas [ #addr?(OP) ] ~> #exec #addr?(OP) ... </k> requires isKResult(OP)

The following types of instructions do not require any register heating.

    syntax KResult ::= AssignInst
    syntax KResult ::= JumpInst

Some instructions require an argument to be interpreted as an address (modulo 160 bits) or a memory cell (modulo 256 bits), so the #addr? function performs that check.

Internal Operations

  • #loadAccount_ allows declaring a new empty account with the given address (and assumes the rounding to 160 bits has already occured). If the account already exists with non-zero nonce or non-empty code, an exception is thrown. Otherwise, if the account already exists, the storage is cleared.

Instruction Execution Cycle

  • #execute loads the code of the currently-executing function into the k cell, where it executes until the function returns. It is an exception if we try to execute a function that does not exist.
module IELE
    imports IELE-GAS
    imports IELE-PRECOMPILED
    imports IELE-PROGRAM-LOADING
    imports IELE-INFRASTRUCTURE

    syntax KItem ::= "#execute"
 // ---------------------------
    rule <k> #execute => CODE                      ... </k> <fid> FUNC </fid> <funcId> FUNC </funcId> <instructions> CODE </instructions>

Execution follows a simple cycle where first the state is checked for exceptions, then if no exceptions will be thrown the opcode is run.

  • If we reach the end of the function, we execute an implicit ret void instruction.
    rule <k> .LabeledBlocks => ret .NonEmptyOperands .Instructions .LabeledBlocks ... </k>
         <typeChecking> false </typeChecking>
  • The rule for sequential composition checks if the instruction is exceptional, runs it if not, then executes the next instruction (assuming the instruction doesn't execute a transfer of control flow).
    rule <k> OP::Instruction OPS::Instructions BLOCKS::LabeledBlocks
          => #exceptional? [ OP ] ~> OP
          ~> OPS BLOCKS
         ...
         </k>
         <typeChecking> false </typeChecking>

When execution reaches the end of a block, we fall through to the immediately next block.

    rule <k> .Instructions BLOCKS::LabeledBlocks => BLOCKS ... </k>
         <typeChecking> false </typeChecking>

Exceptional Ops

Some checks if an opcode will throw an exception are relatively quick and done up front.

    syntax InternalOp ::= "#exceptional?" "[" Instruction "]"
 // ---------------------------------------------------------
    rule <k> #exceptional? [ OP ] => #invalid? [ OP ] ~> #static? [ OP ] ~> #negativeCall? [ OP ] ... </k>
  • #invalid? checks if it's the designated invalid opcode.
    syntax K ::= "#invalid?" "[" Instruction "]" [function]
 // -------------------------------------------------------
    rule #invalid? [ _ = call @iele.invalid(.Operands) ] => #exception USER_ERROR
    rule #invalid? [ OP ] => . [owise]

IELE Programs

Lists of instructions form functions in a contract.

IELE Instructions

Each subsection has a different class of instructions. Organization is based roughly on what parts of the execution state are needed to compute the result of each operator.

Invalid Operator

We use an explicit call to @iele.invalid both for marking the designated invalid operator and for garbage bytes in the input program. Executing the INVALID instruction results in an exception.

Register Manipulations

Some operators don't calculate anything, they just manipulate the state of registers.

  • Assigning an integer to a register is used to load immediate values into registers.

  • Assigning one register to another copies the value of the source register into the destination.

  • #loads loads a list of integers into a list of registers. It is an exception if the number of values do not match.

    rule <k> #exec REG = W:Int => #load REG W ... </k>

    rule <k> #exec REG1 = % REG2 => #load REG1 getInt( REGS [ REG2 ] ) ... </k> <regs> REGS </regs>

    syntax InternalOp ::= "#load" LValue Int
                        | "#load" Int Int Int [klabel(#loadAux)]
 // ------------------------------------------------------------
    rule <k> #load % REG VALUE => #load REG VALUE getInt(REGS [ REG ]) ... </k> <regs> REGS </regs>
    rule <k> #load REG VALUE OLD => . ... </k> <regs> REGS => REGS [ REG <- VALUE ] </regs> <currentMemory> CURR => CURR -Int intSize(OLD) +Int intSize(VALUE) </currentMemory>

    syntax InternalOp ::= "#loads" LValues Ints
 // -------------------------------------------
    rule <k> #loads (REG , REGS) (VALUE , VALUES) => #load REG VALUE ~> #loads REGS VALUES ... </k>
    rule <k> #loads .LValues     .Ints            => .K                                    ... </k>
    rule <k> #loads (REG , REGS) .Ints            => #exception FUNC_WRONG_SIG             ... </k>
    rule <k> #loads .LValues     (VALUE , VALUES) => #exception FUNC_WRONG_SIG             ... </k>

Local Memory

These operations are getters/setters of the local execution memory.

  • REG = load CELL, OFFSET, WIDTH loads WIDTH bytes starting at OFFSET in the specified memory CELL into REG, interpreted as a signed integer.
  • REG = load CELL loads the entire value in CELL into REG, interpreted as a signed integer.
  • REG = store VALUE, CELL, OFFSET, WIDTH stores VALUE into the specified memory CELL at OFFSET, interpreting it modulo 256^WIDTH.
  • REG = store VALUE, CELL stores VALUE into the specified memory CELL, overwriting the previous value of the entire cell.
    rule <k> #exec REG = load CELL , OFFSET , WIDTH => #load REG Bytes2Int(LM [ OFFSET .. WIDTH ], LE, Unsigned) ... </k>
         <localMem>... CELL |-> LM ...</localMem>

Expressions

Expression calculations are simple and don't require anything but the arguments from the regs to operate.

  • REG = iszero W performs boolean negation on W.

  • REG = not W performs bitwise negation on W.

  • REG = add W0, W1 performs arbitrary-precision addition on W0 and W1.

  • REG = sub W0, W1 performs arbitrary-precision subtraction on W0 and W1.

  • REG = mul W0, W1 performs arbitrary-precision multiplication on W0 and W1.

  • REG = div W0, W1 performs arbitrary-precision t-division on W0 and W1. It is an exception to divide by zero.

  • REG = mod W0, W1 performs arbitrary-precision t-modulus on W0 and W1. It is an exception to modulus by zero.

  • REG = exp W0, W1 performs arbitrary-precision exponentiation on W0 and W1. It is an exception to exponentiate by a negative number.

  • REG = addmod W0, W1, W2 performs addition of W0 and W1 modulo W2. It is an exception to modulus by zero.

  • REG = mulmod W0, W1, W2 performs multiplication of W0 and W1 modulo W2. It is an exception to modulus by zero.

  • REG = expmod W0, W1, W2 performs exponentiation of W0 and W1 modulo W2. It is an exception to exponentiate by a negative number or modulus by zero.

  • REG = log2 W performs the floored logarithm base 2 of W. It is an exception to compute the logarithm of 0 or of a negative number.

  • REG = and W0, W1 performs bitwise AND on W0 and W1.

  • REG = or W0, W1 performs bitwise inclusive OR on W0 and W1.

  • REG = xor W0, W1 performs bitwise exclusive OR on W0 and W1.

  • REG = shift W0, W1 performs bitwise shifting of W0 by W1 bits. If W1 is positive, a left shift occurs; if W1 is negative, a right shift occurs.

  • REG = cmp lt W0, W1 computes if W0 is less than W1.

  • REG = cmp le W0, W1 computes if W0 is less than or equal to W1.

  • REG = cmp gt W0, W1 computes if W0 is greater than W1.

  • REG = cmp ge W0, W1 computes if W0 is greater than or equal to W1.

  • REG = cmp eq W0, W1 computes if W0 is equal to W1.

Branch and Local Call

The br instruction jumps to a specified label, either unconditionally, or if its argument is nonzero.

The call instruction for local calls (i.e. the form which does not specify an account, value, or gas limit), calls a function in the current contract. The called function executes in the same contract call frame (i.e. with the same value, gas limit, and memory), but with a fresh set of local registers. When execution of the callee reaches a ret instruction, control returns to the instruction following the call, and local registers are restored.

ret and revert

  • ret returns the values contained in the specified list of registers to the caller. If we are executing inside a previous local call, the contract call frame persists unchanged, and only the instruction position and local register are affected. If we are executing at the top-level local call of a contract call frame, we return to the contract call's caller.
  • revert returns the value of the single specified register to the contract call's caller, but signifies that the contract has failed, which rolls back state changes and returns an error code to the caller.

Log Operations

During execution of a transaction some things are recorded in the substate log. This is a right cons-list of SubstateLogEntry (which contains the account ID along with the specified portions of the wordStack and localMem).

The log instruction logs an entire memory cell to the substate log with zero to four log topics.

Call Operations

The various call* (and other inter-contract control flow) operations will be desugared into these InternalOps.

  • #checkCall checks that the current account has the balance necessary to invoke the contract call, and that the contract call stack depth limit has not been reached.
  • #call_____ takes the calling account, the account to execute as, the account whose code should execute, the gas limit, the amount to transfer, the function to call, and the arguments.
  • #callWithCode______ takes the calling account, the accout to execute as, the code to execute (as a map), the gas limit, the amount to transfer, the function to call, and the arguments.
  • #return__ is a placeholder for the calling program, specifying where to place the returned data in registers.
