This is an implementation of the `#[target_feature]` syntax-related changes of
[RFC 2045][rfc]. Notably two changes have been implemented:
* The new syntax is `#[target_feature(enable = "..")]` instead of
`#[target_feature = "+.."]`. The `enable` key is necessary instead of the `+`
to indicate that a feature is being enabled, and a sub-list is used for
possible expansion in the future. Additionally within this syntax the feature
names being enabled are now whitelisted against a known set of target feature
names that we know about.
* The `#[target_feature]` attribute can only be applied to unsafe functions. It
was decided in the RFC that invoking an instruction possibly not defined for
the current processor is undefined behavior, so to enable this feature for now
it requires an `unsafe` intervention.

This commit flags all allocation-related functions in liballoc as "this can't
unwind" which should largely resolve the size-related issues found on #42808.
The documentation on the trait was updated with such a restriction (they can't
panic) as well as some other words about the relative instability about
implementing a bullet-proof allocator.
Closes#42808
This commit implements stack probes on x86/x86_64 using the freshly landed
support upstream in LLVM. The purpose of stack probes here are to guarantee a
segfault on stack overflow rather than having a chance of running over the guard
page already present on all threads by accident.
At this time there's no support for any other architecture because LLVM itself
does not have support for other architectures.
This commit migrates the in-tree `libcompiler_builtins` to the upstream version
at https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/compiler-builtins. The upstream version
has a number of intrinsics written in Rust and serves as an in-progress rewrite
of compiler-rt into Rust. Additionally it also contains all the existing
intrinsics defined in `libcompiler_builtins` for 128-bit integers.
It's been the intention since the beginning to make this transition but
previously it just lacked the manpower to get done. As this PR likely shows it
wasn't a trivial integration! Some highlight changes are:
* The PR rust-lang-nursery/compiler-builtins#166 contains a number of fixes
across platforms and also some refactorings to make the intrinsics easier to
read. The additional testing added there also fixed a number of integration
issues when pulling the repository into this tree.
* LTO with the compiler-builtins crate was fixed to link in the entire crate
after the LTO process as these intrinsics are excluded from LTO.
* Treatment of hidden symbols was updated as previously the
`#![compiler_builtins]` crate would mark all symbol *imports* as hidden
whereas it was only intended to mark *exports* as hidden.
Drop of arrays is now translated in trans::block in an ugly way that I
should clean up in a later PR, and does not handle panics in the middle
of an array drop, but this commit & PR are growing too big.
This commit adds a new attribute that instructs the compiler to emit
target specific code for a single function. For example, the following
function is permitted to use instructions that are part of SSE 4.2:
#[target_feature = "+sse4.2"]
fn foo() { ... }
In particular, use of this attribute does not require setting the
-C target-feature or -C target-cpu options on rustc.
This attribute does not have any protections built into it. For example,
nothing stops one from calling the above `foo` function on hosts without
SSE 4.2 support. Doing so may result in a SIGILL.
This commit also expands the target feature whitelist to include lzcnt,
popcnt and sse4a. Namely, lzcnt and popcnt have their own CPUID bits,
but were introduced with SSE4.
The librustc_llvm API remains mostly unchanged, except that llvm::Attribute is no longer a bitflag but represents only a *single* attribute.
The ability to store many attributes in a small number of bits and modify them without interacting with LLVM is only used in rustc_trans::abi and closely related modules, and only attributes for function arguments are considered there.
Thus rustc_trans::abi now has its own bit-packed representation of argument attributes, which are translated to rustc_llvm::Attribute when applying the attributes.
