  1. Language-level guarantees---like module runtime isolation for WebAssembly (Wasm)---are only as strong as the compiler that produces a final, native-machine-specific executable. The process of lowering language-level constructions to ISA-specific instructions can introduce subtle bugs that violate security guarantees. In this paper, we present Crocus, a system for lightweight, modular verification of instruction-lowering rules within Cranelift, a production retargetable Wasm native code generator. We use Crocus to verify lowering rules that cover WebAssembly 1.0 support for integer operations in the ARM aarch64 backend. We show that Crocus can reproduce 3 known bugs (including a 9.9/10 severity CVE), identify 2 previously-unknown bugs and an underspecified compiler invariant, and help analyze the root causes of a new bug.
