This commit adds LLVM Kernel Control Flow Integrity (KCFI) support to
the Rust compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow
protection for operating systems kernels for Rust-compiled code only by
aggregating function pointers in groups identified by their return and
parameter types. (See llvm/llvm-project@cff5bef.)
Forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust -compiled
code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust -compiled code
share the same virtual address space) will be provided in later work as
part of this project by identifying C char and integer type uses at the
time types are encoded (see Type metadata in the design document in the
tracking issue #89653).
LLVM KCFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=kcfi.

rustc_codegen_ssa: Fix for codegen_get_discr
When doing the optimized implementation of getting the discriminant, the arithmetic needs to be done in the tag type so wrapping behavior works correctly.
Fixes#104519
rustc_codegen_ssa: write `.dwp` in a streaming fashion
When writing a `.dwp` file, rustc writes to a Vec first then to a BufWriter-wrapped file. It seems very likely that we can write in a streaming fashion to avoid double buffering in an intermediate Vec.
On my Linux machine, `.dwp` from the latest rust-lang/cargo is 113MiB. It may worth a stream writer, though I didn't do any benchmark 🙇🏾♂️.
deduplicate constant evaluation in cranelift backend
The cranelift backend had two matches on `ConstantKind`, which can be avoided, and used this `eval_for_mir` that nothing else uses... this makes things more consistent with the (better-tested) LLVM backend.
I noticed this because cranelift was the only user of `eval_for_mir`. However `try_eval_for_mir` still has one other user in `eval`... the odd thing is that the interpreter has its own `eval_mir_constant` which seems to duplicate the same functionality and does not use `try_eval_for_mir`. No idea what is happening here.

Record `LocalDefId` in HIR nodes instead of a side table
This is part of an attempt to remove the `HirId -> LocalDefId` table from HIR.
This attempt is a prerequisite to creation of `LocalDefId` after HIR lowering (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96840), by controlling how `def_id` information is accessed.
This first part adds the information to HIR nodes themselves instead of a table.
The second part is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103902
The third part will be to make `hir::Visitor::visit_fn` take a `LocalDefId` as last parameter.
The fourth part will be to completely remove the side table.
cleanup and dedupe CTFE and Miri error reporting
It looks like most of the time, this error raised from const_prop_lint is just redundant -- it duplicates the error reported when evaluating the const-eval query. This lets us make `ConstEvalErr` private to the const_eval module which I think is a good step.
The Miri change mostly replaces a `match` by `if let`, and dedupes the "this error is impossible in Miri" checks.

Fix some misleading target feature aliases
This is the first half of a fix for #100752. It looks like these aliases were added in #78361 and slipped under the radar, as these features are not AVX512. These features _do_ add AVX512 instructions when used _in combination_ with AVX512F, but without AVX512F, these features still provide 128-bit and 256-bit vector instructions. A user might be mislead into thinking these features imply AVX512F (which is true of the actual AVX512 features). This PR allows using the names as defined by LLVM, which matches Intel documentation.
A future PR should change the `std::arch` intrinsics to use these names, and finally remove these aliases from rustc.

In `codegen_assert_terminator` we decide if a BB's successor is a
candidate for merging, which requires that it be the only successor, and
that it only have one predecessor. That result then gets passed down,
and if it reaches `funclet_br` with the appropriate BB characteristics,
then no `br` instruction is issued, a `MergingSucc::True` result is
passed back, and the merging proceeds in `codegen_block`.
The commit also adds `CachedLlbb`, a new type to help keep track of
each BB that has been merged into its predecessor.
For the next commit, `FunctionCx::codegen_*_terminator` need to take a
`&mut Bx` instead of consuming a `Bx`. This triggers a cascade of
similar changes across multiple functions. The resulting code is more
concise and replaces many `&mut bx` expressions with `bx`.

[debuginfo] Make cpp-like debuginfo type names for slices and str consistent.
Before this PR, the compiler would emit the debuginfo name `slice$<T>` for all kinds of slices, regardless of whether they are behind a reference or not and regardless of the kind of reference. As a consequence, the types `Foo<&[T]>`, `Foo<[T]>`, and `Foo<&mut [T]>` would end up with the same type name `Foo<slice$<T> >` in debuginfo, making it impossible to disambiguate between them by name. Similarly, `&str` would get the name `str` in debuginfo, so the debuginfo name for `Foo<str>` and `Foo<&str>` would be the same. In contrast, `*const [bool]` and `*mut [bool]` would be `ptr_const$<slice$<bool> >` and `ptr_mut$<slice$<bool> >`, i.e. the encoding does not lose information about the type.
This PR removes all special handling for slices and `str`. The types `&[bool]`, `&mut [bool]`, and `&str` thus get the names `ref$<slice2$<bool> >`, `ref_mut$<slice2$<bool> >`, and `ref$<str$>` respectively -- as one would expect.
The new special name for slices is `slice2$` to differentiate it from the previous name `slice$`, which has different semantics. The same is true for `str` and `str$`. This kind of versioning already has a precedent with the case of `enum$` and `enum2$` and hopefully will make it easier to transition existing consumers of these names.

Add `multivalue` target feature to WASM target
This PR is similar to #99643 and #97808. It addresses #96472 for the `multivalue` target feature.
The problem I am trying to fix is to remove the following warning when compiling with `-C target-feature=+multivalue` for `--target=wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
```
warning: unknown feature specified for `-Ctarget-feature`: `multivalue`
|
= note: it is still passed through to the codegen backend
= note: consider filing a feature request
```
The new implementation doesn't use weak lang items and instead changes
`#[alloc_error_handler]` to an attribute macro just like
`#[global_allocator]`.
The attribute will generate the `__rg_oom` function which is called by
the compiler-generated `__rust_alloc_error_handler`. If no `__rg_oom`
function is defined in any crate then the compiler shim will call
`__rdl_oom` in the alloc crate which will simply panic.
This also fixes link errors with `-C link-dead-code` with
`default_alloc_error_handler`: `__rg_oom` was previously defined in the
alloc crate and would attempt to reference the `oom` lang item, even if
it didn't exist. This worked as long as `__rg_oom` was excluded from
linking since it was not called.
This is a prerequisite for the stabilization of
`default_alloc_error_handler` (#102318).
Before this PR, the compiler would emit the debuginfo name `slice$<T>`
for all kinds of slices, regardless of whether they are behind a
reference or not and regardless of the kind of reference. As a
consequence, the types `Foo<&[T]>`, `Foo<[T]>`, and `Foo<&mut [T]>`
would end up with the same type name `Foo<slice$<T> >` in debuginfo,
making it impossible to disambiguate between them by name. Similarly,
`&str` would get the name `str` in debuginfo, so the debuginfo name for
`Foo<str>` and `Foo<&str>` would be the same. In contrast,
`*const [bool]` and `*mut [bool]` would be `ptr_const$<slice$<bool> >`
and `ptr_mut$<slice$<bool> >`, i.e. the encoding does not lose
information about the type.
This PR removes all special handling for slices and `str`. The types
`&[bool]`, `&mut [bool]`, and `&str` thus get the names
`ref$<slice2$<bool> >`, `ref_mut$<slice2$<bool> >`, and
`ref$<str$>` respectively -- as one would expect.
`codegen_switchint_terminator` already uses `br` instead of `switch`
when there is one normal target plus the `otherwise` target. But there's
another common case with two normal targets and an `otherwise` target
that points to an empty unreachable BB. This comes up a lot when
switching on the tags of enums that use niches.
The pattern looks like this:
```
bb1: ; preds = %bb6
%3 = load i8, ptr %_2, align 1, !range !9, !noundef !4
%4 = sub i8 %3, 2
%5 = icmp eq i8 %4, 0
%_6 = select i1 %5, i64 0, i64 1
switch i64 %_6, label %bb3 [
i64 0, label %bb4
i64 1, label %bb2
]
bb3: ; preds = %bb1
unreachable
```
This commit adds code to convert the `switch` to a `br`:
```
bb1: ; preds = %bb6
%3 = load i8, ptr %_2, align 1, !range !9, !noundef !4
%4 = sub i8 %3, 2
%5 = icmp eq i8 %4, 0
%_6 = select i1 %5, i64 0, i64 1
%6 = icmp eq i64 %_6, 0
br i1 %6, label %bb4, label %bb2
bb3: ; No predecessors!
unreachable
```
This has a surprisingly large effect on compile times, with reductions
of 5% on debug builds of some crates. The reduction is all due to LLVM
taking less time. Maybe LLVM is just much better at handling `br` than
`switch`.
The resulting code is still suboptimal.
- The `icmp`, `select`, `icmp` sequence is silly, converting an `i1` to an `i64`
and back to an `i1`. But with the current code structure it's hard to avoid,
and LLVM will easily clean it up, in opt builds at least.
- `bb3` is usually now truly dead code (though not always, so it can't
be removed universally).
`TerminatorCodegenHelper` has three methods `llblock`, `llbb`, and
`lltarget`. They're all similar, but the names given no indication of
the differences.
This commit renames `lltarget` as `llbb_with_landing_pad`, and `llblock`
as `llbb_with_cleanup`. These aren't fantastic names, but at least it's
now clear that `llbb` is the lowest-level of the three and the other two
wrap it.
Ensure:
- builders always have a `bx` suffix;
- backend basic blocks always have an `llbb` suffix,
- paired builders and basic blocks have consistent prefixes.
Remove byte swap of valtree hash on big endian
This addresses problem reported in #103183. The code was originally introduced in e14b34c386. (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96591)

linker: Fix weak lang item linking with combination windows-gnu + LLD + LTO
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100404 this logic was originally disabled for MSVC due to issues with LTO, but the same issues appear on windows-gnu with LLD because that LLD uses the same underlying logic as MSVC LLD, just with re-syntaxed command line options.
So this PR just disables it for LTO builds in general.
The illumos linker does not support --strip-debug

The illumos linker does not support the `--strip-debug` option (although it does support `--strip-all`).
Make `dyn*` casts into a coercion, allow `dyn*` upcasting

translation: eager translation
Part of #100717. See [Zulip thread](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/336883-i18n/topic/.23100717.20lists!/near/295010720) for additional context.
- **Store diagnostic arguments in a `HashMap`**: Eager translation will enable subdiagnostics to be translated multiple times with different arguments - this requires the ability to replace the value of one argument with a new value, which is better suited to a `HashMap` than the previous storage, a `Vec`.
- **Add `AddToDiagnostic::add_to_diagnostic_with`**: `AddToDiagnostic::add_to_diagnostic_with` is similar to the previous `AddToDiagnostic::add_to_diagnostic` but takes a function that can be used by the caller to modify diagnostic messages originating from the subdiagnostic (such as performing translation eagerly). `add_to_diagnostic` now just calls `add_to_diagnostic_with` with an empty closure.
- **Add `DiagnosticMessage::Eager`**: Add variant of `DiagnosticMessage` for eagerly translated messages
(messages in the target language which don't need translated by the emitter during emission). Also adds `eager_subdiagnostic` function which is intended to be invoked by the diagnostic derive for subdiagnostic fields which are marked as needing eager translation.
- **Support `#[subdiagnostic(eager)]`**: Add support for `eager` argument to the `subdiagnostic` attribute which generates a call to `eager_subdiagnostic`.
- **Finish migrating `rustc_query_system`**: Using eager translation, migrate the remaining repeated cycle stack diagnostic.
- **Split formatting initialization and use in diagnostic derives**: Diagnostic derives have previously had to take special care when ordering the generated code so that fields were not used after a move.
This is unlikely for most fields because a field is either annotated with a subdiagnostic attribute and is thus likely a `Span` and copiable, or is a argument, in which case it is only used once by `set_arg`
anyway.
However, format strings for code in suggestions can result in fields being used after being moved if not ordered carefully. As a result, the derive currently puts `set_arg` calls last (just before emission), such as:
let diag = { /* create diagnostic */ };
diag.span_suggestion_with_style(
span,
fluent::crate::slug,
format!("{}", __binding_0),
Applicability::Unknown,
SuggestionStyle::ShowAlways
);
/* + other subdiagnostic additions */
diag.set_arg("foo", __binding_0);
/* + other `set_arg` calls */
diag.emit();
For eager translation, this doesn't work, as the message being translated eagerly can assume that all arguments are available - so arguments _must_ be set first.
Format strings for suggestion code are now separated into two parts - an initialization line that performs the formatting into a variable, and a usage in the subdiagnostic addition.
By separating these parts, the initialization can happen before arguments are set, preserving the desired order so that code compiles, while still enabling arguments to be set before subdiagnostics are added.
let diag = { /* create diagnostic */ };
let __code_0 = format!("{}", __binding_0);
/* + other formatting */
diag.set_arg("foo", __binding_0);
/* + other `set_arg` calls */
diag.span_suggestion_with_style(
span,
fluent::crate::slug,
__code_0,
Applicability::Unknown,
SuggestionStyle::ShowAlways
);
/* + other subdiagnostic additions */
diag.emit();
- **Remove field ordering logic in diagnostic derive:** Following the approach taken in earlier commits to separate formatting initialization from use in the subdiagnostic derive, simplify the diagnostic derive by removing the field-ordering logic that previously solved this problem.

Migrate `codegen_ssa` to diagnostics structs - [Part 1]

3. Adding UI tests while migrating diagnostics.
_See comments below._
Eager translation will enable subdiagnostics to be translated multiple
times with different arguments - this requires the ability to replace
the value of one argument with a new value, which is better suited to a
`HashMap` than the previous storage, a `Vec`.

Remove `-Ztime`
Because it has a lot of overlap with `-Ztime-passes` but is generally less useful. Plus some related cleanups.
Best reviewed one commit at a time.
r? `@davidtwco`
The compiler currently has `-Ztime` and `-Ztime-passes`. I've used
`-Ztime-passes` for years but only recently learned about `-Ztime`.
What's the difference? Let's look at the `-Zhelp` output:
```
-Z time=val -- measure time of rustc processes (default: no)
-Z time-passes=val -- measure time of each rustc pass (default: no)
```
The `-Ztime-passes` description is clear, but the `-Ztime` one is less so.
Sounds like it measures the time for the entire process?
No. The real difference is that `-Ztime-passes` prints out info about passes,
and `-Ztime` does the same, but only for a subset of those passes. More
specifically, there is a distinction in the profiling code between a "verbose
generic activity" and an "extra verbose generic activity". `-Ztime-passes`
prints both kinds, while `-Ztime` only prints the first one. (It took me
a close reading of the source code to determine this difference.)
In practice this distinction has low value. Perhaps in the past the "extra
verbose" output was more voluminous, but now that we only print stats for a
pass if it exceeds 5ms or alters the RSS, `-Ztime-passes` is less spammy. Also,
a lot of the "extra verbose" cases are for individual lint passes, and you need
to also use `-Zno-interleave-lints` to see those anyway.
Therefore, this commit removes `-Ztime` and the associated machinery. One thing
to note is that the existing "extra verbose" activities all have an extra
string argument, so the commit adds the ability to accept an extra argument to
the "verbose" activities.

Initial implementation of dyn*
This PR adds extremely basic and incomplete support for [dyn*](https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps//blog/2022/03/29/dyn-can-we-make-dyn-sized/). The goal is to get something in tree behind a flag to make collaboration easier, and also to make sure the implementation so far is not unreasonable. This PR does quite a few things:
* Introduce `dyn_star` feature flag
* Adds parsing for `dyn* Trait` types
* Defines `dyn* Trait` as a sized type
* Adds support for explicit casts, like `42usize as dyn* Debug`
* Including const evaluation of such casts
* Adds codegen for drop glue so things are cleaned up properly when a `dyn* Trait` object goes out of scope
* Adds codegen for method calls, at least for methods that take `&self`
Quite a bit is still missing, but this gives us a starting point. Note that this is never intended to become stable surface syntax for Rust, but rather `dyn*` is planned to be used as an implementation detail for async functions in dyn traits.
