s390x: Fix a regression related to backchain feature
In #127506, we introduced a new IBM Z-specific target feature, `backchain`.
This particular `target-feature` was available as a function-level attribute in LLVM 17 and below, so some hacks were used to avoid blowing up LLVM when querying the supported LLVM features.
This led to an unfortunate regression where `cfg!(target-feature = "backchain")` will always return true.
This pull request aims to fix this issue, and a test has been introduced to ensure it will never happen again.
Fixes#129927.

Add powerpc-unknown-linux-muslspe compile target
This is almost identical to already existing targets:
- powerpc_unknown_linux_musl.rs
- powerpc_unknown_linux_gnuspe.rs
It has support for PowerPC SPE (muslspe), which
can be used with GCC version up to 8. It is useful for Freescale or IBM cores like e500.
This was verified to be working with OpenWrt build system for CZ.NIC's Turris 1.x routers, which are using Freescale P2020, e500v2, so add it as a Tier 3 target.
Follow-up of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100860
Refactor `powerpc64` call ABI handling
As the [specification](https://openpowerfoundation.org/specifications/64bitelfabi/) for the ELFv2 ABI states that returned aggregates are returned like arguments as long as they are at most two doublewords, I've merged the `classify_arg` and `classify_ret` functions to reduce code duplication. The only functional change is to fix#128579: the `classify_ret` function was incorrectly handling aggregates where `bits > 64 && bits < 128`. I've used the aggregate handling implementation from `classify_arg` which doesn't have this issue.
`@awilfox` could you test this on `powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl`? I'm only able to cross-test on `powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu` and `powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu` locally at the moment, and as a tier 3 target `powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl` has zero CI coverage.

Let InstCombine remove Clone shims inside Clone shims
The Clone shims that we generate tend to recurse into other Clone shims, which gets very silly very quickly. Here's our current state: https://godbolt.org/z/E69YeY8eq
So I've added InstSimplify to the shims optimization passes, and improved `is_trivially_pure_clone_copy` so that it can delete those calls inside the shim. This makes the shim way smaller because most of its size is the required ceremony for unwinding.
This change also completely breaks the UI test added for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/104870. With this PR, that program ICEs in MIR type checking because `is_trivially_pure_clone_copy` and the trait solver disagree on whether `*mut u8` is `Copy`. And adding the requisite `Copy` impl to make them agree makes the test not generate any diagnostics. Considering that I spent most of my time on this PR fixing `#![no_core]` tests, I would prefer to just delete this one. The maintenance burden of `#![no_core]` is uniquely high because when they break they tend to break in very confusing ways.

Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. It is scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments. The primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards.
NuttX adopts additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs, such as VxWorks. These APIs are used for functionality not available under the POSIX and ANSI standards. However, some APIs, like fork(), are not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments and are not implemented in NuttX.
For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.
I'll be adding libstd support for NuttX in the future, but for now I'll just add the targets.
Tier 3 policy:

I will be the target maintainer for this target on matters that pertain to the NuttX part of the triple.
For matters pertaining to the riscv or arm part of the triple, there should be no difference from all other targets. If there are issues, I will address issues regarding the target.

This is a new supported OS, so I have taken the origin target like `riscv32imac-unknown-none-elf` or `thumbv7m-none-eabi`
and changed the `os` section to `nuttx`.

I feel that the target name does not introduce any ambiguity.

The only unusual requirement for building the compiler-builtins crate is a standard RISC-V or ARM C compiler supported by cc-rs, and using this target does not require any additional software beyond what is shipped by rustup.

All of the additional code will use Apache-2.0.

Agreed, and there is no problem here.

Ensure floats are returned losslessly by the Rust ABI on 32-bit x86
Solves #115567 for the (default) `"Rust"` ABI. When compiling for 32-bit x86, this PR changes the `"Rust"` ABI to return floats indirectly instead of in x87 registers (with the exception of single `f32`s, which this PR returns in general purpose registers as they are small enough to fit in one). No change is made to the `"C"` ABI as that ABI requires x87 register usage and therefore will need a different solution.

> This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
Understood
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
The target already implements core.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
Here is how to build for the target https://docs.esp-rs.org/book/installation/riscv-and-xtensa.html and it also covers how to run binaries on the target.
> Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via `@)` to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
> Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications.

> Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
> In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
No other targets should be affected
> Tier 3 targets must be able to produce assembly using at least one of rustc's supported backends from any host target.
It can produce assembly, but it requires a custom LLVM with Xtensa support (https://github.com/espressif/llvm-project/). The patches are trying to be upstreamed (https://github.com/espressif/llvm-project/issues/4)
Nvptx remove direct passmode
This PR does what should have been done in #117671. That is fully avoid using the `PassMode::Direct` for `extern "C" fn` for `nvptx64-nvidia-cuda` and enable the compatibility test. `@RalfJung` [pointed me in the right direction](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117480#issuecomment-2137712501) for solving this issue.
There are still some ABI bugs after this PR is merged. These ABI tests are created based on what is actually correct, and since they continue passing with even more of them enabled things are improving. I don't have the time to tackle all the remaining issues right now, but I think getting these improvements merged is very valuable in themselves and plan to tackle more of them long term.
This also doesn't remove the use of `PassMode::Direct` for `extern "ptx-kernel" fn`. This was also not trivial to make work. And since the ABI is hidden behind an unstable feature it's less urgent.
I don't know if it's correct to request `@RalfJung` as a reviewer (due to team structures), but he helped me a lot to figure out this stuff. If that's not appropriate then `@davidtwco` would be a good candidate since he know about this topic from #117671
r? `@RalfJung`
When things like our internal hashing or representations change,
it is inappropriate for these tests to suddenly fail for no reason.
The chance of error is reduced if we instead pattern-match.
