Make rustc use `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` by default
Compiler panics should be rare - when they do occur, we want the report
filed by the user to contain as much information as possible. This is
especially important when the panic is due to an incremental compilation
bug, since we may not have enough information to reproduce it.
This PR sets `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` inside `rustc` if the user has not
explicitly set `RUST_BACKTRACE`. This is more verbose than
`RUST_BACKTRACE=1`, but this may make it easier to debug incremental
compilation issues. Users who find this too verbose can still manually
set `RUST_BACKTRACE` before invoking the compiler.
This only affects `rustc` (and any tool using `rustc_driver::install_ice_hook`).
It does *not* affect any user crates or the standard library -
backtraces will continue to be off by default in any application
*compiled* by rustc.
rustdoc: Fix ICE report
The ICE report in rustdoc was confusing because it was returning an argument parse error:
```
thread 'rustc' panicked at 'aborting due to `-Z treat-err-as-bug=1`', compiler/rustc_errors/src/lib.rs:1212:27
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic
error: Unrecognized option: 'crate-version'
```
This is because the ICE reporter was trying to parse the arguments as rustc, not rustdoc. Since an argument error is a fatal error, it was early-exiting with the argument error due to unwinding.
This changes it to be a more primitive scan of the arguments. The arguments being checked are pretty simple, and only have a small handful of forms that are easy to check for.
It now looks like this:
```
thread 'rustc' panicked at 'aborting due to `-Z treat-err-as-bug=1`', compiler/rustc_errors/src/lib.rs:1212:27
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
error: internal compiler error: unexpected panic
note: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.
note: we would appreciate a bug report: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new?labels=C-bug%2C+I-ICE%2C+T-compiler&template=ice.md
note: rustc 1.59.0-dev running on x86_64-apple-darwin
note: compiler flags: --crate-type lib -Z treat-err-as-bug
note: some of the compiler flags provided by cargo are hidden
query stack during panic:
end of query stack
```
It still says `rustc`, but I can live with that.

`Decoder` has two impls:
- opaque: this impl is already partly infallible, i.e. in some places it
currently panics on failure (e.g. if the input is too short, or on a
bad `Result` discriminant), and in some places it returns an error
(e.g. on a bad `Option` discriminant). The number of places where
either happens is surprisingly small, just because the binary
representation has very little redundancy and a lot of input reading
can occur even on malformed data.
- json: this impl is fully fallible, but it's only used (a) for the
`.rlink` file production, and there's a `FIXME` comment suggesting it
should change to a binary format, and (b) in a few tests in
non-fundamental ways. Indeed #85993 is open to remove it entirely.
And the top-level places in the compiler that call into decoding just
abort on error anyway. So the fallibility is providing little value, and
getting rid of it leads to some non-trivial performance improvements.
Much of this commit is pretty boring and mechanical. Some notes about
a few interesting parts:
- The commit removes `Decoder::{Error,error}`.
- `InternIteratorElement::intern_with`: the impl for `T` now has the same
optimization for small counts that the impl for `Result<T, E>` has,
because it's now much hotter.
- Decodable impls for SmallVec, LinkedList, VecDeque now all use
`collect`, which is nice; the one for `Vec` uses unsafe code, because
that gave better perf on some benchmarks.
Stabilize `-Z print-link-args` as `--print link-args`
We have stable options for adding linker arguments; we should have a
stable option to help debug linker arguments.
Add documentation for the new option. In the documentation, make it clear that
the *exact* format of the output is not a stable guarantee.
Exit nonzero on rustc -Wall
Previously `rustc -Wall /dev/null` would print a paragraph explaining that `-Wall` is not a thing in Rust, but would then exit 0. I believe exiting 0 is not the right behavior. For something like `rustc --version` or `rustc --help` or `rustc -C help` the user is requesting rustc to print some information; rustc prints that information and exits 0 because what the user requested has been accomplished. In the case of `rustc -Wall path/to/main.rs`, I don't find it correct to conceptualize this as "the user requested rustc to print information about the fact that Wall doesn't exist". The user requested a particular thing, and despite rustc knowing what they probably meant and informing them about that, the thing they requested has *not* been accomplished. Thus a nonzero exit code is needed.
LLVM has built-in heuristics for adding stack canaries to functions. These
heuristics can be selected with LLVM function attributes. This patch adds a
rustc option `-Z stack-protector={none,basic,strong,all}` which controls the use
of these attributes. This gives rustc the same stack smash protection support as
clang offers through options `-fno-stack-protector`, `-fstack-protector`,
`-fstack-protector-strong`, and `-fstack-protector-all`. The protection this can
offer is demonstrated in test/ui/abi/stack-protector.rs. This fills a gap in the
current list of rustc exploit
mitigations (https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/exploit-mitigations.html),
originally discussed in #15179.
Stack smash protection adds runtime overhead and is therefore still off by
default, but now users have the option to trade performance for security as they
see fit. An example use case is adding Rust code in an existing C/C++ code base
compiled with stack smash protection. Without the ability to add stack smash
protection to the Rust code, the code base artifacts could be exploitable in
ways not possible if the code base remained pure C/C++.
Stack smash protection support is present in LLVM for almost all the current
tier 1/tier 2 targets: see
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-target-support.rs. The one
exception is nvptx64-nvidia-cuda. This patch follows clang's example, and adds a
warning message printed if stack smash protection is used with this target (see
test/ui/stack-protector/warn-stack-protector-unsupported.rs). Support for tier 3
targets has not been checked.
Since the heuristics are applied at the LLVM level, the heuristics are expected
to add stack smash protection to a fraction of functions comparable to C/C++.
Some experiments demonstrating how Rust code is affected by the different
heuristics can be found in
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-heuristics-effect.rs. There is
potential for better heuristics using Rust-specific safety information. For
example it might be reasonable to skip stack smash protection in functions which
transitively only use safe Rust code, or which uses only a subset of functions
the user declares safe (such as anything under `std.*`). Such alternative
heuristics could be added at a later point.
LLVM also offers a "safestack" sanitizer as an alternative way to guard against
stack smashing (see #26612). This could possibly also be included as a
stack-protection heuristic. An alternative is to add it as a sanitizer (#39699).
This is what clang does: safestack is exposed with option
`-fsanitize=safe-stack`.
The options are only supported by the LLVM backend, but as with other codegen
options it is visible in the main codegen option help menu. The heuristic names
"basic", "strong", and "all" are hopefully sufficiently generic to be usable in
other backends as well.

Index and hash HIR as part of lowering
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88186
~Based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88880 (see merge commit).~
Once HIR is lowered, it is later indexed by the `index_hir` query and hashed for `crate_hash`. This PR moves those post-processing steps to lowering itself. As a side objective, the HIR crate data structure is refactored as an `IndexVec<LocalDefId, Option<OwnerInfo<'hir>>>` where `OwnerInfo` stores all the relevant information for an HIR owner.

Rustc was incorrectly reading the value of `RUSTC_LOG` as the
environment vairable with the logging configuration, rather than the
logging configuration itself.
This commit changes the `tracing_subscriber` initialization in
`rustc_driver` so that the `WARN` verbosity level is enabled by default
when the `RUSTC_LOG` env variable is empty. If the `RUSTC_LOG` env
variable is set, the filter string in the environment variable is
honored, instead.

Consistently use 'supertrait'.
A subset of places referred to 'super-trait', so this changes them
to all use 'supertrait'. This matches 'supertype' and some other
usages. An exception is 'auto-trait' which is consistently used
in that manner.
Fix clippy lints
I'm currently working on allowing clippy to run on librustdoc after a discussion I had with `@Mark-Simulacrum.` So in the meantime, I fixed a few lints on the compiler crates.

rfc3052 followup: Remove authors field from Cargo manifests
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field, hiding it from

not generally up to date/useful information for contributors, we may as well
remove it from crates in this repo.
