Add support for emitting functions with `coldcc` to LLVM
The eventual goal is to try using this for things like the internal panicking stuff, to see whether it helps.
Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

Finish bumping stage0
It looks like the last time had left some remaining cfg's -- which made me think
that the stage0 bump was actually successful. This brings us to a released 1.62
beta though.
This now brings us to cfg-clean, with the exception of check-cfg-features in bootstrap;
I'd prefer to leave that for a separate PR at this time since it's likely to be more tricky.

Prepare Rust for opaque pointers
Fix one codegen bug with opaque pointers, and update our IR tests to accept both typed pointer and opaque pointer IR. This is a bit annoying, but unavoidable if we want decent test coverage on both LLVM 14 and LLVM 15.
This prepares Rust for when LLVM will enable opaque pointers by default.
Add support for embedding pretty printers via `#[debugger_visualizer]` attribute
Initial support for [RFC 3191](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3191) in PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91779 was scoped to supporting embedding NatVis files using a new attribute. This PR implements the pretty printer support as stated in the RFC mentioned above.
This change includes embedding pretty printers in the `.debug_gdb_scripts` just as the pretty printers for rustc are embedded today. Also added additional tests for embedded pretty printers. Additionally cleaned up error checking so all error checking is done up front regardless of the current target.

This was relying on the presence of a bitcast to avoid using the
constant global initializer for a load using a different type.
With opaque pointers, we need to check this explicitly.
Ensure all error checking for `#[debugger_visualizer]` is done up front and not when the `debugger_visualizer` query is run.
Clean up potential ODR violations when embedding pretty printers into the `__rustc_debug_gdb_scripts_section__` section.

don't encode only locally used attrs
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/505.
We now filter builtin attributes before encoding them in the crate metadata in case they should only be used in the local crate. To prevent accidental misuse `get_attrs` now requires the caller to state which attribute they are interested in. For places where that isn't trivially possible, I've added a method `fn get_attrs_unchecked` which I intend to remove in a followup PR.
After this pull request landed, we can then slowly move all attributes to only be used in the local crate while being certain that we don't accidentally try to access them from extern crates.

Implement a lint to warn about unused macro rules
This implements a new lint to warn about unused macro rules (arms/matchers), similar to the `unused_macros` lint added by #41907 that warns about entire macros.
```rust
macro_rules! unused_empty {
(hello) => { println!("Hello, world!") };
() => { println!("empty") }; //~ ERROR: 1st rule of macro `unused_empty` is never used
}
fn main() {
unused_empty!(hello);
}
```
Builds upon #96149 and #96156.

Begin fixing all the broken doctests in `compiler/`
Begins to fix#95994.
All of them pass now but 24 of them I've marked with `ignore HELP (<explanation>)` (asking for help) as I'm unsure how to get them to work / if we should leave them as they are.
There are also a few that I marked `ignore` that could maybe be made to work but seem less important.
Each `ignore` has a rough "reason" for ignoring after it parentheses, with
- `(pseudo-rust)` meaning "mostly rust-like but contains foreign syntax"
- `(illustrative)` a somewhat catchall for either a fragment of rust that doesn't stand on its own (like a lone type), or abbreviated rust with ellipses and undeclared types that would get too cluttered if made compile-worthy.
- `(not-rust)` stuff that isn't rust but benefits from the syntax highlighting, like MIR.
- `(internal)` uses `rustc_*` code which would be difficult to make work with the testing setup.
Those reason notes are a bit inconsistently applied and messy though. If that's important I can go through them again and try a more principled approach. When I run `rg '```ignore \(' .` on the repo, there look to be lots of different conventions other people have used for this sort of thing. I could try unifying them all if that would be helpful.
I'm not sure if there was a better existing way to do this but I wrote my own script to help me run all the doctests and wade through the output. If that would be useful to anyone else, I put it here: https://github.com/Elliot-Roberts/rust_doctest_fixing_tool
Refactor the WriteBackendMethods and ExtraBackendMethods traits
The new interface is slightly less confusing and is easier to implement for non-LLVM backends.
Only crate root def-ids don't have a parent, and in majority of cases the argument of `DefIdTree::parent` cannot be a crate root.
So we now panic by default in `parent` and introduce a new non-panicing function `opt_parent` for cases where the argument can be a crate root.
Same applies to `local_parent`/`opt_local_parent`.
not need `Option` for `dbg_scope`
This PR fixes a few FIXME about not using `Option` in `dbg_scope` field of `DebugScope`, during `create_function_debug_context` func in codegen parts.
Added a `BitSet<SourceScope>` parameter to `make_mir_scope` to indicate whether the `DebugScope` has been instantiated.

Generate synthetic object file to ensure all exported and used symbols participate in the linking
Fix#50007 and #47384
This is the synthetic object file approach that I described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95363#issuecomment-1079932354, allowing all exported and used symbols to be linked while still allowing them to be GCed.

Drop support for legacy PM with LLVM 15
LLVM 15 already removes some of the legacy PM APIs we're using. This patch forces use of NewPM with LLVM 15 (with `-Z new-llvm-pass-manager=no` throwing a warning) and stubs out various FFI methods with a report_fatal_error on LLVM 15.
For LLVMPassManagerBuilderPopulateLTOPassManager() I went with adding our own wrapper, as the alternative would be to muck about with weak symbols, which seems to be non-trivial as far as cross-platform support is concerned (std has `weak!` for this purpose, but only as an internal utility.)

asm: Add a kreg0 register class on x86 which includes k0
Previously we only exposed a kreg register class which excludes the k0
register since it can't be used in many instructions. However k0 is a
valid register and we need to have a way of marking it as clobbered for
clobber_abi.

Allow self-profiler to only record potentially costly arguments when argument recording is turned on
As discussed [on zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/247081-t-compiler.2Fperformance/topic/Identifying.20proc-macro.20slowdowns/near/277304909) with `@wesleywiser,` I'd like to record proc-macro expansions in the self-profiler, with some detailed data (per-expansion spans for example, to follow #95473).
At the same time, I'd also like to avoid doing expensive things when tracking a generic activity's arguments, if they were not specifically opted into the event filter mask, to allow the self-profiler to be used in hotter contexts.
This PR tries to offer:
- a way to ensure a closure to record arguments will only be called in that situation, so that potentially costly arguments can still be recorded when needed. With the additional requirement that, if possible, it would offer a way to record non-owned data without adding many `generic_activity_with_arg_{...}`-style methods. This lead to the `generic_activity_with_arg_recorder` single entry-point, and the closure parameter would offer the new methods, able to be executed in a context where costly argument could be created without disturbing the profiled piece of code.
- some facilities/patterns allowing to record more rustc specific data in this situation, without making `rustc_data_structures` where the self-profiler is defined, depend on other rustc crates (causing circular dependencies): in particular, spans. They are quite tricky to turn into strings (if the default `Debug` impl output does not match the context one needs them for), and since I'd also like to avoid the allocation there when arg recording is turned off today, that has turned into another flexibility requirement for the API in this PR (separating the span-specific recording into an extension trait). **edit**: I've removed this from the PR so that it's easier to review, and opened https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95739.
- allow for extensibility in the future: other ways to record arguments, or additional data attached to them could be added in the future (e.g. recording the argument's name as well as its data).
Some areas where I'd love feedback:
- the API and names: the `EventArgRecorder` and its method for example. As well as the verbosity that comes from the increased flexibility.
- if I should convert the existing `generic_activity_with_arg{s}` to just forward to `generic_activity_with_arg_recorder` + `recorder.record_arg` (or remove them altogether ? Probably not): I've used the new API in the simple case I could find of allocating for an arg that may not be recorded, and the rest don't seem costly.
- [x] whether this API should panic if no arguments were recorded by the user-provided closure (like this PR currently does: it seems like an error to use an API dedicated to record arguments but not call the methods to then do so) or if this should just record a generic activity without arguments ?
- whether the `record_arg` function should be `#[inline(always)]`, like the `generic_activity_*` functions ?
