Introduce perma-unstable `wasm-c-abi` flag
Now that `wasm-bindgen` v0.2.88 supports the spec-compliant C ABI, the idea is to switch to that in a future version of Rust. In the meantime it would be good to let people test and play around with it.
This PR introduces a new perma-unstable `-Zwasm-c-abi` compiler flag, which switches to the new spec-compliant C ABI when targeting `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
Alternatively, we could also stabilize this and then deprecate it when we switch. I will leave this to the Rust maintainers to decide.
This is a companion PR to #117918, but they could be merged independently.

Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/122532
To the best of my ability I believe that this is no longer necessary. I
don't fully recall why this was first added but I believe it had to do
with symbols all being exported by default and this was required to undo
that. Regardless nowadays the default output of rustc seems suitable so
it seems best to keep wasm in line with other targets.
Linker flavors next steps: linker features
This is my understanding of the first step towards `@petrochenkov's` vision for the future of linker flavors, described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119906#issuecomment-1895693162 and the discussion that followed.
To summarize: having `Cc` and `Lld` embedded in linker flavors creates tension about naming, and a combinatorial explosion of flavors for each new linker feature we'd want to use. Linker features are an extension mechanism that is complementary to principal flavors, with benefits described in #119906.
The most immediate use of this flag would be to turn self-contained linking on and off via features instead of flavors. For example, `-Clinker-features=+/-lld` would toggle using lld instead of selecting a precise flavor, and would be "generic" and work cross-platform (whereas linker flavors are currently more tied to targets). Under this scheme, MCP510 is expected to be `-Clink-self-contained=+linker -Zlinker-features=+lld -Zunstable-options` (though for the time being, the original flags using lld-cc flavors still work).
I purposefully didn't add or document CLI support for `+/-cc`, as it would be a noop right now. I only expect that we'd initially want to stabilize `+/-lld` to begin with.
r? `@petrochenkov`
You had requested that minimal churn would be done to the 230 target specs and this does none yet: the linker features are inferred from the flavor since they're currently isomorphic. We of course expect this to change sooner rather than later.
In the future, we can allow targets to define linker features independently from their flavor, and remove the cc and lld components from the flavors to use the features instead, this actually doesn't need to block stabilization, as we discussed.

Re-enable `has_thread_local` for i686-msvc
A few years back, `has_thread_local` was disabled as a workaround for a compiler issue. While the exact cause was never tracked down, it was suspected to be caused by the compiler inlining a thread local access across a dylib boundary. This should be fixed now so let's try again.
While they're isomorphic, we can flip the lld component where
applicable, so that downstream doesn't have to check both the flavor and
the linker features.
They are a flexible complementary mechanism to linker flavors,
that also avoid the combinatorial explosion of mapping linking features
to actual linker flavors.
Reduce Size of `ModifierInfo`
I added `ModifierInfo` in #121940 and had used a `u64` for the `size` field even though the largest value it holds is `512`.
This PR changes the type of the `size` field to `u16`.
The actual ABI implication here is that in some cases the values
are required to be "consecutive", i.e. must either all be passed
in registers or all on stack (without padding).
Adjust the code to either use Uniform::new() or Uniform::consecutive()
depending on which behavior is needed.
Then, when lowering this in LLVM, skip the [1 x i128] to i128
simplification if is_consecutive is set. i128 is the only case
I'm aware of where this is problematic right now. If we find
other cases, we can extend this (either based on target information
or possibly just by not simplifying for is_consecutive entirely).
When passing a 16 (or higher) aligned struct by value on ppc64le,
it needs to be passed as an array of `i128` rather than an array
of `i64`. This will force the use of an even starting register.
For the case of a 16 byte struct with alignment 16 it is important
that `[1 x i128]` is used instead of `i128` -- apparently, the
latter will get treated similarly to `[2 x i64]`, not exhibiting
the correct ABI. Add a `force_array` flag to `Uniform` to support
this.
The relevant clang code can be found here:
fe2119a7b0/clang/lib/CodeGen/Targets/PPC.cpp (L878-L884)fe2119a7b0/clang/lib/CodeGen/Targets/PPC.cpp (L780-L784)
I think the corresponding psABI wording is this:
> Fixed size aggregates and unions passed by value are mapped to as
> many doublewords of the parameter save area as the value uses in
> memory. Aggregrates and unions are aligned according to their
> alignment requirements. This may result in doublewords being
> skipped for alignment.
In particular the last sentence.

Fix incorrect 'llvm_target' value used on watchOS target
## Issue
`xcodebuild -create-xcframework` command doesn't recognize static libraries that are built on "arm64_32-apple-watchos" target.
Here are steps to reproduce the issue on a Mac:
1. Install nightly toolchain `nightly-2024-03-27`. Needs this specific version, because newer nightly versions are broken on watchos target.
1. Create an empty library: `mkdir watchos-lib && cd watchos-lib && cargo init --lib`.
1. Add configuration `lib.crate-type=["staticlib"]` to Cargo.toml.
1. Build the library: `cargo +nightly-2024-03-27 build --release -Zbuild-std --target arm64_32-apple-watchos`
1. Run `xcodebuild -create-xcframework` to put the static library into a xcframework, which results in an error:
```
$ xcodebuild -create-xcframework -library target/arm64_32-apple-watchos/release/libwatchos_lib.a -output test.xcframework
error: unable to determine the platform for the given binary '.../watchos-lib/target/arm64_32-apple-watchos/release/libwatchos_lib.a'; check your deployment version settings
```
## Fix
The root cause of this error is `xcodebuild` couldn't read `LC_BUILD_VERSION` from the static library to determine the library's target platform. And the reason it's missing is that an incorrect `llvm_target` value is used in `arm64_32-apple-watchos` target. The expected value is `<arch>-apple-watchos<major>.<minor>.0`, i.e. "arm64_32-apple-watchos8.0.0".
The [.../apple/mod.rs](43f4f2a3b1/compiler/rustc_target/src/spec/base/apple/mod.rs (L321)) file contains functions that construct such string. There is an existing function `watchos_sim_llvm_target` which returns llvm target value for watchOS simulator. But there is none for watchOS device. This PR adds that missing function to align watchOS with other Apple platform targets.
To verify the fix, you can simply build a toolchain on this PR branch and repeat the steps above using the built local toolchain to verify the `xcodebuild -create-xcframework` command can create a xcframework successfully.
Furthermore, you can verify `LC_BUILD_VERSION` contains correct info by using the simple shell script below to print `LC_BUILD_VERSION` of the static library that's built on watchos target:
```shell
bin=target/arm64_32-apple-watchos/release/libwatchos_lib.a
file=$(ar -t "$bin" | grep -E '\.o$' | head -n 1)
ar -x "$bin" "$file"
vtool -show-build-version "$file"
```
Here is an example output from my machine:
```
watchos_rust-495d6aaf3bccc08d.watchos_rust.35ba42bf9255ca9d-cgu.0.rcgu.o:
Load command 1

MSVC targets should use COFF as their archive format
While adding support for Arm64EC I ran into an issue where the standard library's rlib was missing the "EC Symbol Table" which is required for the MSVC linker to find import library symbols (generated by Rust's `raw-dylib` feature) when building for EC.
The root cause of the issue is that LLVM only generated symbol tables (including the EC Symbol Table) if the `ArchiveKind` is `COFF`, but the MSVC targets didn't set their archive format, so it was defaulting to GNU.
Fix target-cpu fpu features on Arm R/M-profile
This is achieved by converting `+<fpu>,-d32,{,-fp64}` to `+<fpu>d16{,sp}`.
By using a single additive feature that captures `d16` vs `d32` and `sp` vs
`dp`, we prevent `-<feature>` from overriding `-C target-cpu` at build time.
Remove extraneous `-fp16` from `armv7r` targets, as this is not included in
`vfp3` anyway, but was preventing `fp16` from being enabled by e.g.,
`-C target-cpu=cortex-r7`, which does support `fp16`.
Add aarch64-apple-visionos and aarch64-apple-visionos-sim tier 3 targets
Introduces `aarch64-apple-visionos` and `aarch64-apple-visionos-sim` as tier 3 targets. This allows native development for the Apple Vision Pro's visionOS platform.
This work has been tracked in https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/642. There is a corresponding `libc` change https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/pull/3568 that is not required for merge.
Ideally we would be able to incorporate [this change](https://github.com/gimli-rs/object/pull/626) to the `object` crate, but the author has stated that a release will not be cut for quite a while. Therefore, the two locations that would reference the xrOS constant from `object` are hardcoded to their MachO values of 11 and 12, accompanied by TODOs to mark the code as needing change. I am open to suggestions on what to do here to get this checked in.
# Tier 3 Target Policy
At this tier, the Rust project provides no official support for a target, so we place minimal requirements on the introduction of targets.
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
See [src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/apple-visionos.md](e88379034a/src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/apple-visionos.md)
> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
> * Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
> * If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
This naming scheme matches `$ARCH-$VENDOR-$OS-$ABI` which is matches the iOS Apple Silicon simulator (`aarch64-apple-ios-sim`) and other Apple targets.

For instance, `rustc` built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library.

This contribution is fully available under the standard Rust license with no additional legal restrictions whatsoever. This PR does not introduce any new dependency less permissive than the Rust license policy.
The new targets do not depend on proprietary libraries.

This new target mirrors the standard library for watchOS and iOS, with minor divergences.

I acknowledge these requirements and intend to ensure that they are met.
This target does not touch any existing tier 2 or tier 1 targets and should not break any other targets.
This is achieved by converting `+<fpu>,-d32,{,-fp64}` to `+<fpu>d16{,sp}`.

The expected value is "<arch>-apple-watchos<major>.<minor>.0", i.e.
"arm64_32-apple-watchos8.0.0".
compiler/rustc_target/src/spec/base/apple/mod.rs contains functions that
construct such string. There is an existing function
`watchos_sim_llvm_target` which returns llvm target value for watchOS
simulator. But there is none for watchOS device. This commit adds that
missing function to align watchOS with other Apple platform targets.
Check `x86_64` size assertions on `aarch64`, too
(Context: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/Checking.20size.20assertions.20on.20aarch64.3F)
Currently the compiler has around 30 sets of `static_assert_size!` for various size-critical data structures (e.g. various IR nodes), guarded by `#[cfg(all(target_arch = "x86_64", target_pointer_width = "64"))]`.
(Presumably this cfg avoids having to maintain separate size values for 32-bit targets and unusual 64-bit targets. Apparently it may have been necessary before the i128/u128 alignment changes, too.)
This is slightly incovenient for people on aarch64 workstations (e.g. Macs), because the assertions normally aren't checked until we push to a PR. So this PR adds `aarch64` to the `#[cfg(..)]` guarding all of those assertions in the compiler.
---
Implemented with a simple find/replace. Verified by manually inspecting each `static_assert_size!` in `compiler/`, and checking that either the replacement succeeded, or adding aarch64 wouldn't have been appropriate.
This enables KCFI-based testing for all the CFI run-pass tests in the
suite today. We can add the test header on top of in-flight CFI tests
once they land.
It also enables KCFI as a sanitizer for x86_64 and aarch64 Linux to make
this possible. The sanitizer should likely be available for all aarch64,
x86_64, and riscv targets, but that isn't critical for initial testing.

This should not cause issues, as the target has similarities to other configurations of the riscv32 targets.
Backend and target selection is a mess: the target can override the
backend (via `Target::default_codegen_backend`), *and* the backend can
override the target (via `CodegenBackend::target_override`).
The code that handles this is ugly. It calls `build_target_config`
twice, once before getting the backend and once again afterward. It also
must check that both overrides aren't triggering at the same time.
This commit removes the latter override. It's used in rust-gpu but
@eddyb said via Zulip that removing it would be ok. This simplifies the
code greatly, and will allow some nice follow-up refactorings.
This would trigger a `Size::sub: 0 - 8 would result in negative size` abort,
if `data.last_offset > offset`.
This is almost hilariously easy to trigger (https://godbolt.org/z/8rbv57xET):
```rust
#[repr(C)]
pub struct DoubleFloat {
f: f64,
g: f32,
}
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn foo(x: DoubleFloat) {}
```
Tests for this will be covered by the cast-target-abi.rs test added in a later commit.
Rename `wasm32-wasi-preview1-threads` to `wasm32-wasip1-threads`
This commit renames the current `wasm32-wasi-preview1-threads` target to `wasm32-wasip1-threads`. The need for this rename is a bit unfortunate as the previous name was chosen in an attempt to be future-compatible with other WASI targets. Originally this target was proposed to be `wasm32-wasi-threads`, and that's what was originally implemented in wasi-sdk as well. After discussion though and with the plans for the upcoming component-model target (now named `wasm32-wasip2`) the "preview1" naming was chosen for the threads-based target. The WASI subgroup later decided that it was time to drop the "preview" terminology and recommends "pX" instead, hence previous PRs to add `wasm32-wasip2` and rename `wasm32-wasi` to `wasm32-wasip1`.
So, with all that history, the "proper name" for this target is different than its current name, so one way or another a rename is required. This PR proposes renaming this target cold-turkey, unlike `wasm32-wasi` which is having a long transition period to change its name. The threads-based target is predicted to see only a fraction of the traffic of `wasm32-wasi` due to the unstable nature of the WASI threads proposal itself.
While I was here I updated the in-tree documentation in the target spec file itself as most of the documentation was copied from the original WASI target and wasn't as applicable to this target.
Also, as an aside, I can at least try to apologize for all the naming confusion here, but this is hopefully the last WASI-related rename.
