Both GCC and Clang write by default a `.comment` section with compiler
information:
```txt
$ gcc -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 1] GCC: (GNU) 11.2.0
$ clang -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 1] clang version 14.0.1 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git c62053979489ccb002efe411c3af059addcb5d7d)
```
They also implement the `-Qn` flag to avoid doing so:
```txt
$ gcc -Qn -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
readelf: Warning: Section '.comment' was not dumped because it does not exist!
$ clang -Qn -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
readelf: Warning: Section '.comment' was not dumped because it does not exist!
```
So far, `rustc` only does it for WebAssembly targets and only
when debug info is enabled:
```txt
$ echo 'fn main(){}' | rustc --target=wasm32-unknown-unknown --emit=llvm-ir -Cdebuginfo=2 - && grep llvm.ident rust_out.ll
!llvm.ident = !{!27}
```
In the RFC part of this PR it was decided to always add
the information, which gets us closer to other popular compilers.
An opt-out flag like GCC and Clang may be added later on if deemed
necessary.
Implementation-wise, this covers both `ModuleLlvm::new()` and
`ModuleLlvm::new_metadata()` cases by moving the addition to
`context::create_module` and adds a few test cases.
ThinLTO also sees the `llvm.ident` named metadata duplicated (in
temporary outputs), so this deduplicates it like it is done for
`wasm.custom_sections`. The tests also check this duplication does
not take place.

Because tiny CGUs make compilation less efficient *and* result in worse
generated code.
We don't do this when the number of CGUs is explicitly given, because
there are times when the requested number is very important, as
described in some comments within the commit. So the commit also
introduces a `CodegenUnits` type that distinguishes between default
values and user-specified values.
This change has a roughly neutral effect on walltimes across the
rustc-perf benchmarks; there are some speedups and some slowdowns. But
it has significant wins for most other metrics on numerous benchmarks,
including instruction counts, cycles, binary size, and max-rss. It also
reduces parallelism, which is good for reducing jobserver competition
when multiple rustc processes are running at the same time. It's smaller
benchmarks that benefit the most; larger benchmarks already have CGUs
that are all larger than the minimum size.
Here are some example before/after CGU sizes for opt builds.
- html5ever
- CGUs: 16, mean size: 1196.1, sizes: [3908, 2992, 1706, 1652, 1572,
1136, 1045, 948, 946, 938, 579, 471, 443, 327, 286, 189]
- CGUs: 4, mean size: 4396.0, sizes: [6706, 3908, 3490, 3480]
- libc
- CGUs: 12, mean size: 35.3, sizes: [163, 93, 58, 53, 37, 8, 2 (x6)]
- CGUs: 1, mean size: 424.0, sizes: [424]
- tt-muncher
- CGUs: 5, mean size: 1819.4, sizes: [8508, 350, 198, 34, 7]
- CGUs: 1, mean size: 9075.0, sizes: [9075]
Note that CGUs of size 100,000+ aren't unusual in larger programs.
`-Cdebuginfo=1` was never line tables only and
can't be due to backwards compatibility issues.
This was clarified and an option for line tables only
was added. Additionally an option for line info
directives only was added, which is well needed for
some targets. The debug info options should now
behave the same as clang's debug info options.
This adds the typeid and `vcall_visibility` metadata to vtables when the
-Cvirtual-function-elimination flag is set.
The typeid is generated in the same way as for the
`llvm.type.checked.load` intrinsic from the trait_ref.
The offset that is added to the typeid is always 0. This is because LLVM
assumes that vtables are constructed according to the definition in the
Itanium ABI. This includes an "address point" of the vtable. In C++ this
is the offset in the vtable where information for RTTI is placed. Since
there is no RTTI information in Rust's vtables, this "address point" is
always 0. This "address point" in combination with the offset passed to
the `llvm.type.checked.load` intrinsic determines the final function
that should be loaded from the vtable in the
`WholeProgramDevirtualization` pass in LLVM. That's why the
`llvm.type.checked.load` intrinsics are generated with the typeid of the
trait, rather than with that of the function that is called. This
matches what `clang` does for C++.
The vcall_visibility metadata depends on three factors:
1. LTO level: Currently this is always fat LTO, because LLVM only
supports this optimization with fat LTO.
2. Visibility of the trait: If the trait is publicly visible, VFE
can only act on its vtables after linking.
3. Number of CGUs: if there is more than one CGU, also vtables with
restricted visibility could be seen outside of the CGU, so VFE can
only act on them after linking.
To reflect this, there are three visibility levels: Public, LinkageUnit,
and TranslationUnit.
In DWARF, alignment of types is specified in bits, as is made clear by the
parameter name `AlignInBits`. However, `rustc` was incorrectly passing a byte
alignment. This commit fixes that.
This was noticed in upstream LLVM when I tried to check in a test consisting of
LLVM IR generated from `rustc` and it triggered assertions [1].

Before this fix, the debuginfo for the fields was generated from the
struct defintion of Box<T>, but (at least at the moment) the compiler
pretends that Box<T> is just a (fat) pointer, so the fields need to be
`pointer` and `vtable` instead of `__0: Unique<T>` and `__1: Allocator`.
This is meant as a temporary mitigation until we can make sure that
simply treating Box as a regular struct in debuginfo does not cause too
much breakage in the ecosystem.
This commit
- changes names to use di_node instead of metadata
- uniformly names all functions that build new debuginfo nodes build_xyz_di_node
- renames CrateDebugContext to CodegenUnitDebugContext (which is more accurate)
- moves TypeMap and functions that work directly work with it to a new type_map module
- moves and reimplements enum related builder functions to a new enums module
- splits enum debuginfo building for the native and cpp-like cases, since they are mostly separate
- uses SmallVec instead of Vec in many places
- removes the old infrastructure for dealing with recursion cycles (create_and_register_recursive_type_forward_declaration(), RecursiveTypeDescription, set_members_of_composite_type(), MemberDescription, MemberDescriptionFactory, prepare_xyz_metadata(), etc)
- adds type_map::build_type_with_children() as a replacement for dealing with recursion cycles
- adds many (doc-)comments explaining what's going on
- changes cpp-like naming for C-Style enums so they don't get a enum$<...> name (because the NatVis visualizer does not apply to them)
- fixes detection of what is a C-style enum because some enums where classified as C-style even though they have fields
- changes the position of discriminant debuginfo node so it is consistently nested inside the top-level union instead of, sometimes, next to it

debuginfo: Simplify TypeMap used during LLVM debuginfo generation.
This PR simplifies the TypeMap that is used in `rustc_codegen_llvm::debuginfo::metadata`. It was unnecessarily complicated because it was originally implemented when types were not yet normalized before codegen. So it did it's own normalization and kept track of multiple unnormalized types being mapped to a single unique id.
This PR is based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93503, which is not merged yet.
The PR also removes the arena used for allocating string ids and instead uses `InlinableString` from the [inlinable_string](https://crates.io/crates/inlinable_string) crate. That might not be the best choice, since that crate does not seem to be very actively maintained. The [flexible-string](https://crates.io/crates/flexible-string) crate would be an alternative.

properly handle fat pointers to uninhabitable types
Calculate the pointee metadata size by using `tcx.struct_tail_erasing_lifetimes` instead of duplicating the logic in `fat_pointer_kind`. Open to alternatively suggestions on how to fix this.
Fixes#94149
r? ````@michaelwoerister```` since you touched this code last, I think!
Rust previously encoded the `char` type as DW_ATE_unsigned_char. The more
appropriate encoding is DW_ATE_UTF.
Clang uses this same debug encoding for char32_t.
This fixes the display of `char` types in Windows debuggers as well as LLDB.
The previous implementation was written before types were properly
normalized for code generation and had to assume a more complicated
relationship between types and their debuginfo -- generating separate
identifiers for debuginfo nodes that were based on normalized types.
Since types are now already normalized, we can use them as identifiers
for debuginfo nodes.
