rustbuild: Remove ThinLTO-related configuration
This commit removes some ThinLTO/codegen unit cruft primarily only needed during
the initial phase where we were adding ThinLTO support to rustc itself. The
current bootstrap compiler knows about ThinLTO and has it enabled by default for
multi-CGU builds which are also enabled by default. One CGU builds (aka
disabling ThinLTO) can be achieved by configuring the number of codegen units to
1 for a particular builds.
This also changes the defaults for our dist builders to go back to multiple
CGUs. Unfortunately we're seriously bleeding for cycle time on the bots right
now so we need to recover any time we can.

This commit imports the LLD project from LLVM to serve as the default linker for
the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target. The `binaryen` submoule is consequently
removed along with "binaryen linker" support in rustc.
Moving to LLD brings with it a number of benefits for wasm code:
* LLD is itself an actual linker, so there's no need to compile all wasm code
with LTO any more. As a result builds should be *much* speedier as LTO is no
longer forcibly enabled for all builds of the wasm target.
* LLD is quickly becoming an "official solution" for linking wasm code together.
This, I believe at least, is intended to be the main supported linker for
native code and wasm moving forward. Picking up support early on should help
ensure that we can help LLD identify bugs and otherwise prove that it works
great for all our use cases!
* Improvements to the wasm toolchain are currently primarily focused around LLVM
and LLD (from what I can tell at least), so it's in general much better to be
on this bandwagon for bugfixes and new features.
* Historical "hacks" like `wasm-gc` will soon no longer be necessary, LLD
will [natively implement][gc] `--gc-sections` (better than `wasm-gc`!) which
means a postprocessor is no longer needed to show off Rust's "small wasm
binary size".
LLD is added in a pretty standard way to rustc right now. A new rustbuild target
was defined for building LLD, and this is executed when a compiler's sysroot is
being assembled. LLD is compiled against the LLVM that we've got in tree, which
means we're currently on the `release_60` branch, but this may get upgraded in
the near future!
LLD is placed into rustc's sysroot in a `bin` directory. This is similar to
where `gcc.exe` can be found on Windows. This directory is automatically added
to `PATH` whenever rustc executes the linker, allowing us to define a `WasmLd`
linker which implements the interface that `wasm-ld`, LLD's frontend, expects.
Like Emscripten the LLD target is currently only enabled for Tier 1 platforms,
notably OSX/Windows/Linux, and will need to be installed manually for compiling
to wasm on other platforms. LLD is by default turned off in rustbuild, and
requires a `config.toml` option to be enabled to turn it on.
Finally the unstable `#![wasm_import_memory]` attribute was also removed as LLD
has a native option for controlling this.

This re-introduces a `Config.libdir_relative` field, now derived from
`libdir` and made relative to `prefix` if necessary.
This fixes a regression from #46592 when `--libdir` is given an absolute
path. `Builder::sysroot_libdir` should always use a relative path so
its callers don't clobber system locations, and `librustc` also asserts
that `CFG_LIBDIR_RELATIVE` is really relative.
Dist builds should always be as fast as we can make them, and since
those run on CI we don't care quite as much for the build being somewhat
slower. As such, we don't automatically enable ThinLTO on builds for the
dist builders.
This commit introduces a separately compiled backend for Emscripten, avoiding
compiling the `JSBackend` target in the main LLVM codegen backend. This builds
on the foundation provided by #47671 to create a new codegen backend dedicated
solely to Emscripten, removing the `JSBackend` of the main codegen backend in
the process.
A new field was added to each target for this commit which specifies the backend
to use for translation, the default being `llvm` which is the main backend that
we use. The Emscripten targets specify an `emscripten` backend instead of the
main `llvm` one.
There's a whole bunch of consequences of this change, but I'll try to enumerate
them here:
* A *second* LLVM submodule was added in this commit. The main LLVM submodule
will soon start to drift from the Emscripten submodule, but currently they're
both at the same revision.
* Logic was added to rustbuild to *not* build the Emscripten backend by default.
This is gated behind a `--enable-emscripten` flag to the configure script. By
default users should neither check out the emscripten submodule nor compile
it.
* The `init_repo.sh` script was updated to fetch the Emscripten submodule from
GitHub the same way we do the main LLVM submodule (a tarball fetch).
* The Emscripten backend, turned off by default, is still turned on for a number
of targets on CI. We'll only be shipping an Emscripten backend with Tier 1
platforms, though. All cross-compiled platforms will not be receiving an
Emscripten backend yet.
This commit means that when you download the `rustc` package in Rustup for Tier
1 platforms you'll be receiving two trans backends, one for Emscripten and one
that's the general LLVM backend. If you never compile for Emscripten you'll
never use the Emscripten backend, so we may update this one day to only download
the Emscripten backend when you add the Emscripten target. For now though it's
just an extra 10MB gzip'd.
Closes#46819
This reverts commit ab018c76e14b87f3c9e0b7384cc9b02d94779cd5.
This also adds the `ToolBuild::is_ext_tool` field to replace the previous
`ToolBuild::expectation` field, to indicate whether a build-failure of
certain tool is essential.
This commit alters how we compile LLVM by default enabling the WebAssembly
backend. This then also adds the wasm32-unknown-unknown target to get compiled
on the `cross` builder and distributed through rustup. Tests are not yet enabled
for this target but that should hopefully be coming soon!
... specifically `datadir`, `infodir`, and `localstatedir`. These were
already accepted by `configure.py`, but it didn't have any place to put
the values.
This commit enables ThinLTO for the compiler as well as multiple codegen units.
This is intended to get the benefits of parallel codegen while also avoiding
any major loss of perf. Finally this commit is also intended as further testing
for #45320 and shaking out bugs.
While the `config.toml.example` comments say "we automatically check the
version by default," we actually didn't. That check was badly out of
date, only allowing 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7. This it now updated to the new
3.9 minimum requirement, and truly enabled by default.
This commit rewrites our ancient `./configure` script from shell into Python.
The impetus for this change is to remove `config.mk` which is just a vestige of
the old makefile build system at this point. Instead all configuration is now
solely done through `config.toml`.
The python script allows us to more flexibly program (aka we can use loops
easily) and create a `config.toml` which is based off `config.toml.example`.
This way we can preserve comments and munge various values as we see fit.
It is intended that the configure script here is a drop-in replacement for the
previous configure script, no functional change is intended. Also note that the
rationale for this is also because our build system requires Python, so having a
python script a bit earlier shouldn't cause too many problems.
Closes#40730
This controls the value of the crt-static feature used when building the
standard library for a target, as well as the compiler itself when that
target is the host.
Some users of the build system change the git sha on every build due to
utilizing git to push changes to a remote server. This allows them to
simply configure that away instead of depending on custom patches to
rustbuild.
This introduces a slight change in behavior, where we unilaterally
respect the --host and --target parameters passed for all sanity
checking and runtime configuration.
This was intended for bots back in the day where we'd persist caches of LLVM
builds across runs, but nowadays we don't do that on any of the bots so this
option is no longer necessary
This commit adds a disabled builder which will run all tests for the standard
library for aarch64 in a QEMU instance. Once we get enough capacity to run this
on Travis this can be used to boost our platform coverage of AArch64
This adds the experimental targets option to configure so it can be used
by the builders and changes the wasm32 Dockerfile accordingly. Instead
of using LLVM from the emsdk, the builder's emscripten tools now uses
the Rust in-tree LLVM, since this is the one built with wasm support.
