Cosmetic improvements to doc comments
This has been factored out from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/58036 to only include changes to documentation comments (throughout the rustc codebase).
r? @steveklabnik
Once you're happy with this, maybe we could get it through with r=1, so it doesn't constantly get invalidated? (I'm not sure this will be an issue, but just in case...) Anyway, thanks for your advice so far!
Require a list of features in `#[allow_internal_unstable]`
The blanket-permission slip is not great and will likely give us trouble some point down the road.
while we could make this change (it's all unstable after all), there are crates.io crates that use the feature and that the compiler depends upon. We can instead roll out this feature while still supporting the old way.
The emitter already verifies wether a given span note or span label
can be emitted to the output. If it can't, because it is a dummy
span, it will be either elided for labels or emitted as an unspanned
note/help when applicable.
This shrinks `Option<Symbol>` from 8 bytes to 4 bytes, which shrinks
`Token` from 24 bytes to 16 bytes. This reduces instruction counts by up
to 1% across a range of benchmarks.
Before this two macros with same name would be indistinguishable inside a
`FileName`. This caused a bug in incremental compilation (see #53097) since
two different macros would map out to the same `StableFilemapId`.
Fixes#53097.
Add the -Zcrate-attr=foo unstable rustc option
This PR adds a new unstable option to `rustc`: `-Zcrate-attr=foo`. The option can be used to inject crate-level attributes from the CLI, and it's meant to be used by tools like Crater that needs to add their own attributes to a crate without changing the source code.
The exact reason I need this is to implement "edition runs" in Crater: we need to add the preview feature flag to every crate, and editing the crates' source code on the fly might produce unexpected results, while a compiler flag is more reliable.

Improve a few vectors - calculate capacity or build from iterators
Collecting from iterators improves readability and tailoring vector capacities should be beneficial in terms of performance.
