SLEdge only implemented a subset of the WASI syscall interface ## Arguments The WASI calls `args_sizes_get` and `args_get` are supported. HTTP query parameters are captured and passed as arguments. ## Environment Variables The WASI calls `environ_get` and `environ_sizes_get` are supported, but mostly unused. The current behavior is to to pass the runtime's environment variables into the sandbox. This is likely undesirable. Presumably, the runtime should provide a standard set of environment variables and also allow the JSON spec to set additional function-specific environment variables. See the reference of environment variables generated by WAGI for details: https://github.com/deislabs/wagi/blob/main/docs/environment_variables.md ## Clocks `clock_time_get` is implemented but untested. `clock_res_get` is unimplemented. ## File System SLEdge only supports `fd_read` from stdin and `fd_write` to stderr or stdout. stdin is populated with the body of an HTTP POST request. stdout and stderr are both written in an interleaved fashion into a buffer and sent back to the client as the response body. Actual access to the file system is unsupported, and sandboxes are not provided any preopened descriptors. ## Poll `poll_oneoff` is unsupposed because SLEdge serverless functions are short lived. Sandboxed functions are assumed to make blocking reads/writes to stdin/stdout/stderr, and the serverless runtime is responsible for causing serverless functions to sleep and wake. ## Exit `proc_exit` is supported and causes a sandbox to terminate execution. ## Signals `proc_raise` is not supported. Signals are used by the runtime to provide preemption and context switching. It would be dangerous to trigger actual host signals from a sandbox. However, the function could be implemented by creating a switch on the wasi signal and either ignoring or handling the signal within the `proc_raise` function itself. `SIGABRT` could trigger the sandbox to exit in an abnormal condition. The default ignore behavior could log the unexpected signal and return. ## Random `random_get` is supported but largely untested. ## Yield `sched_yield` is unsupported. This does not match with the run-to-completion nature of serverless. In the case of EDF, a sandbox would always yield to itself. However, in the case of FIFO, we could enable this call to allow for a worker to "round robin" within a runqueue. However, it is unclear what the rationale would be to allow a serverless function to impact the scheduler. ## Sockets All socket syscalls are unimplemented because the current logic around `sock_accept` and `sock_shutdown` seems to be focused on long-lived daemon nanoprocesses that handle multiple requests. The `poll_oneoff` call also seems to be based on this usecase. Generally, a serverless function is expected to only make outbound network requests. However, this use case does not seem to be currently supported by WASI.
