When we need to emit a lint at a macro invocation, we currently use the
`NodeId` of its parent definition (e.g. the enclosing function). This
means that any `#[allow]` / `#[deny]` attributes placed 'closer' to the
macro (e.g. on an enclosing block or statement) will have no effect.
This commit computes a better `lint_node_id` in `InvocationCollector`.
When we visit/flat_map an AST node, we assign it a `NodeId` (earlier
than we normally would), and store than `NodeId` in current
`ExpansionData`. When we collect a macro invocation, the current
`lint_node_id` gets cloned along with our `ExpansionData`, allowing it
to be used if we need to emit a lint later on.
This improves the handling of `#[allow]` / `#[deny]` for
`SEMICOLON_IN_EXPRESSIONS_FROM_MACROS` and some `asm!`-related lints.
The 'legacy derive helpers' lint retains its current behavior
(I've inlined the now-removed `lint_node_id` function), since
there isn't an `ExpansionData` readily available.
Some perf optimizations and logging
Various bits of (potential) perf optimizations and some logging additions/changes pulled out from #85499
The only not extremely straightforward change is adding `needs_normalization` in `trait::project`. This is just a perf optimization to avoid fold through a type with *only* opaque types in `UserFacing` mode (as they aren't replaced).
This should be a simple PR for *anyone* to review, so I'm going to let highfive assign. But I'll go ahead and cc `@nikomatsakis` in case he has time today.
Make expansions stable for incr. comp.
This PR aims to make expansions stable for incr. comp. by using the same architecture as definitions:
- the interned identifier `ExpnId` contains a `CrateNum` and a crate-local id;
- bidirectional maps `ExpnHash <-> ExpnId` are setup;
- incr. comp. on-disk cache saves and reconstructs expansions using their `ExpnHash`.
I tried to use as many `LocalExpnId` as I could in the resolver code, but I may have missed a few opportunities.
All this will allow to use an `ExpnId` as a query key, and to force this query without recomputing caller queries. For instance, this will be used to implement #85999.

CTFE/Miri engine Pointer type overhaul
This fixes the long-standing problem that we are using `Scalar` as a type to represent pointers that might be integer values (since they point to a ZST). The main problem is that with int-to-ptr casts, there are multiple ways to represent the same pointer as a `Scalar` and it is unclear if "normalization" (i.e., the cast) already happened or not. This leads to ugly methods like `force_mplace_ptr` and `force_op_ptr`.
Another problem this solves is that in Miri, it would make a lot more sense to have the `Pointer::offset` field represent the full absolute address (instead of being relative to the `AllocId`). This means we can do ptr-to-int casts without access to any machine state, and it means that the overflow checks on pointer arithmetic are (finally!) accurate.
To solve this, the `Pointer` type is made entirely parametric over the provenance, so that we can use `Pointer<AllocId>` inside `Scalar` but use `Pointer<Option<AllocId>>` when accessing memory (where `None` represents the case that we could not figure out an `AllocId`; in that case the `offset` is an absolute address). Moreover, the `Provenance` trait determines if a pointer with a given provenance can be cast to an integer by simply dropping the provenance.
I hope this can be read commit-by-commit, but the first commit does the bulk of the work. It introduces some FIXMEs that are resolved later.

Update Rust Float-Parsing Algorithms to use the Eisel-Lemire algorithm.
# Summary
Rust, although it implements a correct float parser, has major performance issues in float parsing. Even for common floats, the performance can be 3-10x [slower](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.11408.pdf) than external libraries such as [lexical](https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/rust-lexical) and [fast-float-rust](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust).
Recently, major advances in float-parsing algorithms have been developed by Daniel Lemire, along with others, and implement a fast, performant, and correct float parser, with speeds up to 1200 MiB/s on Apple's M1 architecture for the [canada](0e2b5d163d/data/canada.txt) dataset, 10x faster than Rust's 130 MiB/s.
In addition, [edge-cases](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85234) in Rust's [dec2flt](868c702d0c/library/core/src/num/dec2flt) algorithm can lead to over a 1600x slowdown relative to efficient algorithms. This is due to the use of Clinger's correct, but slow [AlgorithmM and Bellepheron](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.45.4152&rep=rep1&type=pdf), which have been improved by faster big-integer algorithms and the Eisel-Lemire algorithm, respectively.
Finally, this algorithm provides substantial improvements in the number of floats the Rust core library can parse. Denormal floats with a large number of digits cannot be parsed, due to use of the `Big32x40`, which simply does not have enough digits to round a float correctly. Using a custom decimal class, with much simpler logic, we can parse all valid decimal strings of any digit count.
```rust
// Issue in Rust's dec2fly.
"2.47032822920623272088284396434110686182e-324".parse::<f64>(); // Err(ParseFloatError { kind: Invalid })
```
# Solution
This pull request implements the Eisel-Lemire algorithm, modified from [fast-float-rust](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust) (which is licensed under Apache 2.0/MIT), along with numerous modifications to make it more amenable to inclusion in the Rust core library. The following describes both features in fast-float-rust and improvements in fast-float-rust for inclusion in core.
**Documentation**
Extensive documentation has been added to ensure the code base may be maintained by others, which explains the algorithms as well as various associated constants and routines. For example, two seemingly magical constants include documentation to describe how they were derived as follows:
```rust
// Round-to-even only happens for negative values of q
// when q ≥ −4 in the 64-bit case and when q ≥ −17 in
// the 32-bitcase.
//
// When q ≥ 0,we have that 5^q ≤ 2m+1. In the 64-bit case,we
// have 5^q ≤ 2m+1 ≤ 2^54 or q ≤ 23. In the 32-bit case,we have
// 5^q ≤ 2m+1 ≤ 2^25 or q ≤ 10.
//
// When q < 0, we have w ≥ (2m+1)×5^−q. We must have that w < 2^64
// so (2m+1)×5^−q < 2^64. We have that 2m+1 > 2^53 (64-bit case)
// or 2m+1 > 2^24 (32-bit case). Hence,we must have 2^53×5^−q < 2^64
// (64-bit) and 2^24×5^−q < 2^64 (32-bit). Hence we have 5^−q < 2^11
// or q ≥ −4 (64-bit case) and 5^−q < 2^40 or q ≥ −17 (32-bitcase).
//
// Thus we have that we only need to round ties to even when
// we have that q ∈ [−4,23](in the 64-bit case) or q∈[−17,10]
// (in the 32-bit case). In both cases,the power of five(5^|q|)
// fits in a 64-bit word.
const MIN_EXPONENT_ROUND_TO_EVEN: i32;
const MAX_EXPONENT_ROUND_TO_EVEN: i32;
```
This ensures maintainability of the code base.
**Improvements for Disguised Fast-Path Cases**
The fast path in float parsing algorithms attempts to use native, machine floats to represent both the significant digits and the exponent, which is only possible if both can be exactly represented without rounding. In practice, this means that the significant digits must be 53-bits or less and the then exponent must be in the range `[-22, 22]` (for an f64). This is similar to the existing dec2flt implementation.
However, disguised fast-path cases exist, where there are few significant digits and an exponent above the valid range, such as `1.23e25`. In this case, powers-of-10 may be shifted from the exponent to the significant digits, discussed at length in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85198.
**Digit Parsing Improvements**
Typically, integers are parsed from string 1-at-a-time, requiring unnecessary multiplications which can slow down parsing. An approach to parse 8 digits at a time using only 3 multiplications is described in length [here](https://johnnylee-sde.github.io/Fast-numeric-string-to-int/). This leads to significant performance improvements, and is implemented for both big and little-endian systems.
**Unsafe Changes**
Relative to fast-float-rust, this library makes less use of unsafe functionality and clearly documents it. This includes the refactoring and documentation of numerous unsafe methods undesirably marked as safe. The original code would look something like this, which is deceptively marked as safe for unsafe functionality.
```rust
impl AsciiStr {
#[inline]
pub fn step_by(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self {
unsafe { self.ptr = self.ptr.add(n) };
self
}
}
...
#[inline]
fn parse_scientific(s: &mut AsciiStr<'_>) -> i64 {
// the first character is 'e'/'E' and scientific mode is enabled
let start = *s;
s.step();
...
}
```
The new code clearly documents safety concerns, and does not mark unsafe functionality as safe, leading to better safety guarantees.
```rust
impl AsciiStr {
/// Advance the view by n, advancing it in-place to (n..).
pub unsafe fn step_by(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self {
// SAFETY: same as step_by, safe as long n is less than the buffer length
self.ptr = unsafe { self.ptr.add(n) };
self
}
}
...
/// Parse the scientific notation component of a float.
fn parse_scientific(s: &mut AsciiStr<'_>) -> i64 {
let start = *s;
// SAFETY: the first character is 'e'/'E' and scientific mode is enabled
unsafe {
s.step();
}
...
}
```
This allows us to trivially demonstrate the new implementation of dec2flt is safe.
**Inline Annotations Have Been Removed**
In the previous implementation of dec2flt, inline annotations exist practically nowhere in the entire module. Therefore, these annotations have been removed, which mostly does not impact [performance](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust/issues/15#issuecomment-864485157).
**Fixed Correctness Tests**
Numerous compile errors in `src/etc/test-float-parse` were present, due to deprecation of `time.clock()`, as well as the crate dependencies with `rand`. The tests have therefore been reworked as a [crate](https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/rust/tree/master/src/etc/test-float-parse), and any errors in `runtests.py` have been patched.
**Undefined Behavior**
An implementation of `check_len` which relied on undefined behavior (in fast-float-rust) has been refactored, to ensure that the behavior is well-defined. The original code is as follows:
```rust
#[inline]
pub fn check_len(&self, n: usize) -> bool {
unsafe { self.ptr.add(n) <= self.end }
}
```
And the new implementation is as follows:
```rust
/// Check if the slice at least `n` length.
fn check_len(&self, n: usize) -> bool {
n <= self.as_ref().len()
}
```
Note that this has since been fixed in [fast-float-rust](https://github.com/aldanor/fast-float-rust/pull/29).
**Inferring Binary Exponents**
Rather than explicitly store binary exponents, this new implementation infers them from the decimal exponent, reducing the amount of static storage required. This removes the requirement to store [611 i16s](868c702d0c/library/core/src/num/dec2flt/table.rs (L8)).
# Code Size
The code size, for all optimizations, does not considerably change relative to before for stripped builds, however it is **significantly** smaller prior to stripping the resulting binaries. These binary sizes were calculated on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

z|3.1M|284K
# Correctness
The dec2flt implementation passes all of Rust's unittests and comprehensive float parsing tests, along with numerous other tests such as Nigel Toa's comprehensive float [tests](https://github.com/nigeltao/parse-number-fxx-test-data) and Hrvoje Abraham [strtod_tests](https://github.com/ahrvoje/numerics/blob/master/strtod/strtod_tests.toml). Therefore, it is unlikely that this algorithm will incorrectly round parsed floats.

Use small code model for UEFI targets
* Since the code model only applies to the code and not the data and the code model
only applies to functions you call through using `call`, `jmp` and data with `lea`, etc…
If you are calling functions using the function pointers from the UEFI structures the code
model does not apply in that case. It’s just related to the address space size of your own binary.
Since UEFI (uefi is all relocatable) uses relocatable PEs (relocatable code does not care about the
code model) so, we use the small code model here.
* Since applications don't usually take gigabytes of memory, setting the
target to use the small code model should result in better codegen (comparable
with majority of other targets).
Large code models are also known for generating horrible code, for
example 16 bytes of code to load a single 8-byte value.

Do not allow JSON targets to set is-builtin: true
Note that this will affect (and make builds fail for) all of the projects out there that have target files invalid in this way. Crater, however, does not really cover these kinds of the codebases, so it is quite difficult to measure the impact. That said, the target files invalid in this way can start causing build failures each time LLVM is upgraded, anyway, so it is probably a good opportunity to disallow this property, entirely.
Another approach considered was to simply not parse this field anymore, which would avoid making the builds explicitly fail, but it wasn't clear to me if `is-builtin` was always set unintentionally… In case this was the case, I'd expect people to file a feature request stating specifically for what purpose they were using `is-builtin`.

Add initial implementation of HIR-based WF checking for diagnostics
During well-formed checking, we walk through all types 'nested' in
generic arguments. For example, WF-checking `Option<MyStruct<u8>>`
will cause us to check `MyStruct<u8>` and `u8`. However, this is done
on a `rustc_middle::ty::Ty`, which has no span information. As a result,
any errors that occur will have a very general span (e.g. the
definintion of an associated item).
This becomes a problem when macros are involved. In general, an
associated type like `type MyType = Option<MyStruct<u8>>;` may
have completely different spans for each nested type in the HIR. Using
the span of the entire associated item might end up pointing to a macro
invocation, even though a user-provided span is available in one of the
nested types.
This PR adds a framework for HIR-based well formed checking. This check
is only run during error reporting, and is used to obtain a more precise
span for an existing error. This is accomplished by individually
checking each 'nested' type in the HIR for the type, allowing us to
find the most-specific type (and span) that produces a given error.
The majority of the changes are to the error-reporting code. However,
some of the general trait code is modified to pass through more
information.
Since this has no soundness implications, I've implemented a minimal
version to begin with, which can be extended over time. In particular,
this only works for HIR items with a corresponding `DefId` (e.g. it will
not work for WF-checking performed within function bodies).

RFC2229: Use the correct place type
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87097
The ICE occurred because instead of looking at the type of the place after all the projections are applied, we instead looked at the `base_ty` of the Place to decide whether a discriminant should be read of not. This lead to two issues:
1. the kind of the type is not necessarily `Adt` since we only look at the `base_ty`, it could be instead `Ref` for example
2. if the kind of the type is `Adt` you could still be looking at the wrong variant to make a decision on whether the discriminant should be read or not

Add -Zfuture-incompat-test to assist with testing future-incompat reports.
This adds a `-Zfuture-incompat-test` cli flag to assist with testing future-incompatible reports. This flag causes all lints to be treated as a future-incompatible lint, and will emit a report for them. This is being added so that Cargo's testsuite can reliably test the reporting infrastructure. Right now, Cargo relies on using array_into_iter as a test subject. Since the breaking "future incompatible" lints are never intended to last forever, this means Cargo's testsuite would always need to keep changing to choose different lints (for example, #86330 proposed dropping that moniker for array_into_iter). With this flag, Cargo's tests can trigger any lint and check for the report.

expand: Support helper attributes for built-in derive macros
This is needed for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86735 (derive macro `Default` should have a helper attribute `default`).
With this PR we can specify helper attributes for built-in derives using syntax `#[rustc_builtin_macro(MacroName, attributes(attr1, attr2, ...))]` which mirrors equivalent syntax for proc macros `#[proc_macro_derive(MacroName, attributes(attr1, attr2, ...))]`.
Otherwise expansion infra was already ready for this.
The attribute parsing code is shared between proc macro derives and built-in macros (`fn parse_macro_name_and_helper_attrs`).
This resolves all the problems we had around "normalizing" the representation of a Scalar in case it carries a Pointer value: we can just use Pointer if we want to have a value taht we are sure is already normalized.
Handle non-integer const generic parameters in debuginfo type names.
This PR fixes an ICE introduced by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85269 which started emitting const generic arguments for debuginfo names but did not cover the case where such an argument could not be evaluated to a flat string of bits.
The fix implemented in this PR is very basic: If `try_eval_bits()` fails for the constant in question, we fall back to generating a stable hash of the constant and emit that instead. This way we get a (virtually) unique name and side step the problem of generating a string representation of a potentially complex value.
The downside is that the generated name will be rather opaque. E.g. the regression test adds a function `const_generic_fn_non_int<()>` which is then rendered as `const_generic_fn_non_int<{CONST#fe3cfa0214ac55c7}>`. I think it's an open question how to deal with this more gracefully.
I'd be interested in ideas on how to do this better.
