This patch extends the existing `type_i8p` method so that it requires an
explicit address space to be specified. Before this patch, the
`type_i8p` method implcitily assumed the default address space, which is
not a safe transformation on all targets, namely AVR.
The Rust compiler already has support for tracking the "instruction
address space" on a per-target basis. This patch extends the code
generation routines so that an address space must always be specified.
In my estimation, around 15% of the callers of `type_i8p` produced
invalid code on AVR due to the loss of address space prior to LLVM final
code generation. This would lead to unavoidable assertion errors
relating to invalid bitcasts.
With this patch, the address space is always either 1) explicitly set to
the instruction address space because the logic is dealing with functions
which must be placed there, or 2) explicitly set to the default address
space 0 because the logic can only operate on data space pointers and thus
we keep the existing semantics of assuming the default, "data" address space.
add str to common types
I already expected this to be the case and it may slightly improve perf.
Afaict if we ever want to change str into a lang item this would have to get reverted.
As that would be fairly simple I don't believe this to cause any problems in the future.
Add support for LLVM globals corresponding to miri allocations should be named alloc123
Adds support for this request from @eddyb in #69134:
> That is, if -Zfewer-names is false (usually only because of --emit=llvm-ir), we should use the same name for LLVM globals we generate out of miri allocs as #67133 does in MIR output (allocN).
>
>This way, we can easily see the mapping between MIR and LLVM IR (and it shouldn't be any costlier for regular compilation, which would continue to use unnamed globals).

This commit builds on #65501 continue to simplify the build system and
compiler now that we no longer have multiple LLVM backends to ship by
default. Here this switches the compiler back to what it once was long
long ago, which is linking LLVM directly to the compiler rather than
dynamically loading it at runtime. The `codegen-backends` directory of
the sysroot no longer exists and all relevant support in the build
system is removed. Note that `rustc` still supports a dynamically loaded
codegen backend as it did previously, it just no longer supports
dynamically loaded codegen backends in its own sysroot.
Additionally as part of this the `librustc_codegen_llvm` crate now once
again explicitly depends on all of its crates instead of implicitly
loading them through the sysroot. This involved filling out its
`Cargo.toml` and deleting all the now-unnecessary `extern crate`
annotations in the header of the crate. (this in turn required adding a
number of imports for names of macros too).
The end results of this change are:
* Rustbuild's build process for the compiler as all the "oh don't forget
the codegen backend" checks can be easily removed.
* Building `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since it's simply
another compiler crate.
* Managing the dependencies of `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since
it's "just another `Cargo.toml` to edit"
* The build process should be a smidge faster because there's more
parallelism in the main rustc build step rather than splitting
`librustc_codegen_llvm` out to its own step.
* The compiler is expected to be slightly faster by default because the
codegen backend does not need to be dynamically loaded.
* Disabling LLVM as part of rustbuild is still supported, supporting
multiple codegen backends is still supported, and dynamic loading of a
codegen backend is still supported.
This allows us to remove `static_panic_msg` from the SSA<->LLVM
boundary, along with its fat pointer representation for &str.
Also changes the signature of PanicInfo::internal_contructor to
avoid copying.
Closes#65856.
place: Passing `align` = `layout.align.abi`, when also passing `layout`
Of the calls changed:
7/12 use `align` = `layout.align.abi`.
`from_const_alloc` uses `alloc.align`, but that is `assert_eq!` to `layout.align.abi`.
only 4/11 use something interesting for `align`.
so rename it `new_sized_aligned`.
6/11 use `align` = `layout.align.abi`.
`from_const_alloc` uses `alloc.align`, but that is `assert_eq!` to `layout.align.abi`.
only 4/11 use something interesting for `align`.
* rename AllocKind -> GlobalAlloc. This stores the allocation itself, not just its kind.
* rename the methods that allocate stuff to have consistent names.
