llvm, rt: build using the Ninja generator if available
The Ninja generator generally builds much faster than make. It may also
be used on Windows to have a vast speed improvement over the Visual
Studio generators.
Currently hidden behind an `--enable-ninja` flag because it does not
obey the top-level `-j` or `-l` flags given to `make`.
Use --release-channel=stable by default on releases
> Release tarballs should be compilable with just basic ./configure ;
> make ; sudo make install without having to pass special flags to
> configure. This is the case of the --release-channel option, that must
> be changed in the releases.
This commit detects the presence of .git, as it happens on other parts
of `configure` to assume it is a tarball. Then it changes the default
value stored, before parsing the arguments, while still allowing it to
be overriden before any action verifying the flag is done.
Closes#28322

configure: Check for valid Python on MinGW as well
The LLVM build system is somewhat picky about which Python is used to build it
as it's known to be incompatible with the default `python2` package that ships
with MinGW. This was previously detected for MSVC builds but the logic was left
out for MinGW by accident (now that we've switched to cmake builds for LLVM
everywhere).
This corrects the `./configure` check and also updates the `README.md`
accordingly. Additionally, a number of instructions were updated to work with
the most recent copy of MSYS2.

Actually got it working this time, and it was again just a problem specifying
the llvm-tblgen binary. We need to point it at the $CFG_BUILD target's tblgen
and then we also needed to correct the path a bit.

Convert makefiles to build LLVM/compiler-rt with CMake
This is certainly buggy, but I have successfully built on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and x86_64-pc-windows-gnu. I haven't built successfully on mac yet, and I've seen mysterious test failures on Linux, but I'm interested in throwing this at the bots to see what they think.
We no C++ and an incredibly small amount of C code as part of the build, so
there's not really much need for us to strictly check the version of compilers
as we're not really stressing anything. LLVM is a pretty huge chunk of C++ but
it should be the responsibility of LLVM to ensure that it can build with a
particular clang/gcc version, not ours (as this logic changes over time).
These version checks seem to basically just by us a regular stream of PRs every
six weeks or so when a new version is releases, so they're not really buying us
much. As a result, remove them and we can add then back piecemeal perhaps as a
blacklist if we really need to.

In Linux distributions, it is often necessary to rebuild packages for
cases like applying new patches or linking against new system libraries.
In this scenario, the rustc in the distro build environment may already
match the current release that we're trying to rebuild. Thus we don't
want to use the prior release's bootstrap key, nor `--cfg stage0` for
the prior unstable features.
The new `configure --enable-local-rebuild` option specifies that we are
rebuilding from the current release. The current bootstrap key is used
for the local rustc, and current stage1 features are also assumed.
Sanity check Python on OSX for LLDB tests
Two primary changes:
* Don't get past the configure stage if `python` isn't coming from `/usr/bin`
* Call `debugger.Terminate()` to prevent segfaults on newer versions of LLDB.

mk: Hardcode the bootstrap key for each release
Starting with the 1.10.0 release we would like to bootstrap all compilers from
the previous stable release. For example the 1.10.0 compiler should bootstrap
from the literal 1.9.0 release artifacts. To do this, however, we need a way to
enable unstable features temporarily in a stable compiler (as the released
compiler is stable), but it turns out we already have a way to do that!
At compile time the configure script selects a `CFG_BOOTSTRAP_KEY` variable
value and then exports it into the makefiles. If the `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP_KEY`
environment variable is set to this value, then the compiler is allowed to
"cheat" and use unstable features.
This method of choosing the bootstrap key, however, is problematic for the
intention of bootstrapping from the previous release. Each time a 1.9.0 compiler
is created, a new bootstrap key will be selected. That means that the 1.10.0
compiler will only compile from *our* literal release artifacts. Instead
distributions would like to bootstrap from their own compilers, so instead we
simply hardcode the bootstrap key for each release.
This patch uses the same `CFG_FILENAME_EXTRA` value (a hash of the release
string) as the bootstrap key. Consequently all 1.9.0 compilers, no matter where
they are compiled, will have the same bootstrap key. Additionally we won't need
to keep updating this as it'll be based on the release number anyway.
Once the 1.9.0 beta has been created, we can update the 1.10.0 nightly sources
(the `master` branch at that time) to bootstrap from that release using this
hard-coded bootstrap key. We will likely just hardcode into the makefiles what
the previous bootstrap key was and we'll change that whenever the stage0
compiler is updated.

Our `codegen` test suite requires the LLVM `FileCheck` utility but unfortunately
this isn't always available in all custom LLVM roots (e.g. those specified via
`--llvm-root`). This commit adds a `./configure` option called
`--disable-codegen-tests` which will manually disable running these tests. In
the case that this option is passed we can forgo the need for the `FileCheck`
executable. Note that we still require `FileCheck` by default as we will attempt
to run these tests.

Detect the triple in the configure script for probing MSVC shenanigans and also
be sure to use `llvm-config` from the build host and not the target when
configuring compiler-rt.
Rust 1.7.0 and newer appears to require LLVM 3.6.0 or newer when
building against a version that's out of the tree with the --llvm-root
flag.

The `--disable-jemalloc` configure option has a failure mode where it will
create a distribution that is not compatible with other compilers. For example
the nightly for Linux will assume that it will link to jemalloc by default as
an allocator for executable crates. If, however, a standard library is used
which was built via `./configure --disable-jemalloc` then this will fail
because the jemalloc crate wasn't built.
While this seems somewhat reasonable as a niche situation, the same mechanism is
used for disabling jemalloc for platforms that just don't support it. For
example if the rumprun target is compiled then the sibiling Linux target *also*
doesn't have jemalloc. This is currently a problem for our cross-build nightlies
which build many targets. If rumprun is also built, it will disable jemalloc for
all targets, which isn't desired.
This commit moves the platform-specific disabling of jemalloc as hardcoded logic
into the makefiles that is scoped per-platform. This way when configuring
multiple targets **without the `--disable-jemalloc` option specified** all
targets will get jemalloc as they should.
In other words, enforce what was documented in #30626 (and also stop blaming it on LLVM, we have at least one Python script of our own).
Also, there is no Python later than 2.7 and there never will be.
This commit adds a `--enable-rustbuild` option to the configure script which
will copy a different `Makefile.in` into place to intercept all `make`
invocations.
Currently this makefile only has one target, but it's expected to be filled out
quite a bit over time!
Backtraces, and the compilation of libbacktrace for asmjs, are disabled.
This port doesn't use jemalloc so, like pnacl, it disables jemalloc *for all targets*
in the configure file.
It disables stack protection.
This target covers MIPS devices that run the trunk version of OpenWRT.
The x86_64-unknown-linux-musl target always links statically to C libraries. For
the mips(el)-unknown-linux-musl target, we opt for dynamic linking (like most of
other targets do) to keep binary size down.
As for the C compiler flags used in the build system, we use the same flags used
for the mips(el)-unknown-linux-gnu target.

The purpose of the translation item collector is to find all monomorphic instances of functions, methods and statics that need to be translated into LLVM IR in order to compile the current crate.
So far these instances have been discovered lazily during the trans path. For incremental compilation we want to know the set of these instances in advance, and that is what the trans::collect module provides.
In the future, incremental and regular translation will be driven by the collector implemented here.
We've been seeing a lot of timeouts in tests on the bots and investigation ended
pointing to jemalloc/jemalloc#315 as the culprit. Unfortunately it looks like
that doesn't seem to have a fix on the way soon, so let's temporarily downgrade
back to the previous version of jemalloc we were using (where #30434 was the
most recent upgrade)
