Trait upcasting coercion (part2)
This is the second part of trait upcasting coercion implementation.
Currently this is blocked on #86264 .
The third part might be implemented using unsafety checking
r? `@bjorn3`
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
Remove nondeterminism in multiple-definitions test
Compare all fields in `DllImport` when sorting to avoid nondeterminism in the error for multiple inconsistent definitions of an extern function. Restore the multiple-definitions test.
Resolves#87084.
Change vtable memory representation to use tcx allocated allocations.
This fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86324. However i suspect there's more to change before it can land.

Refactor vtable codegen
This refactor the codegen of vtables of miri interpreter, llvm, cranelift codegen backends.
This is preparation for the implementation of trait upcasting feature. cc #65991
Note that aside from code reorganization, there's an internal behavior change here that now InstanceDef::Virtual's index now include the three metadata slots, and now the first method is with index 3.
cc `@RalfJung` `@bjorn3`
Unify duplicate linker_and_flavor methods in rustc_codegen_{cranelift,ssa}.
The two methods were exactly the same so this removes the cranelift copy. This will help make sure both they don't get out of sync.
Driver improvements
This PR contains a couple of cleanups for the driver and a few small improvements for the custom codegen backend interface. It also implements `--version` and `-Cpasses=list` support for custom codegen backends.
Partial support for raw-dylib linkage
First cut of functionality for issue #58713: add support for `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]` on `extern` blocks in lib crates compiled to .rlib files. Does not yet support `#[link_name]` attributes on functions, or the `#[link_ordinal]` attribute, or `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]` on `extern` blocks in bin crates; I intend to publish subsequent PRs to fill those gaps. It's also not yet clear whether this works for functions in `extern "stdcall"` blocks; I also intend to investigate that shortly and make any necessary changes as a follow-on PR.
This implementation calls out to an LLVM function to construct the actual `.idata` sections as temporary `.lib` files on disk and then links those into the generated .rlib.
BPF target support
This adds `bpfel-unknown-none` and `bpfeb-unknown-none`, two new no_std targets that generate little and big endian BPF. The approach taken is very similar to the cuda target, where `TargetOptions::obj_is_bitcode` is enabled and code generation is done by the linker.
I added the targets to `dist-various-2`. There are [some tests](https://github.com/alessandrod/bpf-linker/tree/main/tests/assembly) in bpf-linker and I'm planning to add more. Those are currently not ran as part of rust CI.
This does not yet support #[link_name] attributes on functions, the #[link_ordinal]
attribute, #[link(kind = "raw-dylib")] on extern blocks in bin crates, or
stdcall functions on 32-bit x86.
- make Allocation API offset-based (no more Pointer)
- make Memory API higher-level (combine checking for access and getting access into one operation)
Remove CrateNum parameter for queries that only work on local crate
The pervasive `CrateNum` parameter is a remnant of the multi-crate rustc idea.
Using `()` as query key in those cases avoids having to worry about the validity of the query key.
Use the object crate for metadata reading
This allows sharing the metadata reader between cg_llvm, cg_clif and other codegen backends.
This is not currently useful for rlib reading with cg_spirv ([rust-gpu](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/)) as it uses tar rather than ar as .rlib format, but it is useful for dylib reading required for loading proc macros. (cc `@eddyb)`
The object crate is already trusted as dependency of libstd through backtrace. As far as I know it supports reading all object file formats used by targets for which we support rust dylibs with crate metadata, but I am not certain. If this happens to not be the case, I could keep using LLVM for reading dylib metadata.
Marked as WIP for a perf run and as it is based on #83637.
