codegen: panic when trying to compute size/align of extern type
The alignment is also computed when accessing a field of extern type at non-zero offset, so we also panic in that case.
Previously `size_of_val` worked because the code path there assumed that "thin pointer" means "sized". But that's not true any more with extern types. The returned size and align are just blatantly wrong, so it seems better to panic than returning wrong results. We use a non-unwinding panic since code probably does not expect size_of_val to panic.
Add lint against ambiguous wide pointer comparisons
This PR is the resolution of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/106447 decided in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117717 by T-lang.
## `ambiguous_wide_pointer_comparisons`
*warn-by-default*
The `ambiguous_wide_pointer_comparisons` lint checks comparison of `*const/*mut ?Sized` as the operands.
### Example
```rust
let ab = (A, B);
let a = &ab.0 as *const dyn T;
let b = &ab.1 as *const dyn T;
let _ = a == b;
```
### Explanation
The comparison includes metadata which may not be expected.

This PR also drops `clippy::vtable_address_comparisons` which is superseded by this one.
~~One thing: is the current naming right? `invalid` seems a bit too much.~~

for #117772 :
In order to facilitate review and modification, split the checking code and
removing redundant imports code into two PR.
compile-time evaluation: detect writes through immutable pointers
This has two motivations:
- it unblocks https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/116745 (and therefore takes a big step towards `const_mut_refs` stabilization), because we can now detect if the memory that we find in `const` can be interned as "immutable"
- it would detect the UB that was uncovered in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117905, which was caused by accidental stabilization of `copy` functions in `const` that can only be called with UB
When UB is detected, we emit a future-compat warn-by-default lint. This is not a breaking change, so completely in line with [the const-UB RFC](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3016-const-ub.html), meaning we don't need t-lang FCP here. I made the lint immediately show up for dependencies since it is nearly impossible to even trigger this lint without `const_mut_refs` -- the accidentally stabilized `copy` functions are the only way this can happen, so the crates that popped up in #117905 are the only causes of such UB (in the code that crater covers), and the three cases of UB that we know about have all been fixed in their respective crates already.
The way this is implemented is by making use of the fact that our interpreter is already generic over the notion of provenance. For CTFE we now use the new `CtfeProvenance` type which is conceptually an `AllocId` plus a boolean `immutable` flag (but packed for a more efficient representation). This means we can mark a pointer as immutable when it is created as a shared reference. The flag will be propagated to all pointers derived from this one. We can then check the immutable flag on each write to reject writes through immutable pointers.
I just hope perf works out.
Currently, `Handler::fatal` returns `FatalError`. But `Session::fatal`
returns `!`, because it calls `Handler::fatal` and then calls `raise` on
the result. This inconsistency is unfortunate.
This commit changes `Handler::fatal` to do the `raise` itself, changing
its return type to `!`. This is safe because there are only two calls to
`Handler::fatal`, one in `rustc_session` and one in
`rustc_codegen_cranelift`, and they both call `raise` on the result.
`HandlerInner::fatal` still returns `FatalError`, so I renamed it
`fatal_no_raise` to emphasise the return type difference.
Subtree sync for rustc_codegen_cranelift
The main highlights this time are implementing a bunch of new vendor intrinsics and fixing some existing ones. And fixing polymorphization for coroutines.
