Rollup merge of #92444 - dtolnay:coremethods, r=joshtriplett
Consolidate Result's and Option's methods into fewer impl blocks

`Result`'s and `Option`'s methods have historically been separated up into `impl` blocks based on their trait bounds, with the bounds specified on type parameters of the impl block. I find this unhelpful because closely related methods, like `unwrap_or` and `unwrap_or_default`, end up disproportionately far apart in source code and rustdocs:

<pre>
impl&lt;T&gt; Option&lt;T&gt; {
    pub fn unwrap_or(self, default: T) -&gt; T {
        ...
    }

    <img alt="one eternity later" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1940490/147780325-ad4e01a4-c971-436e-bdf4-e755f2d35f15.jpg" width="750">
}

impl&lt;T: Default&gt; Option&lt;T&gt; {
    pub fn unwrap_or_default(self) -&gt; T {
        ...
    }
}
</pre>

I'd prefer for method to be in as few impl blocks as possible, with the most logical grouping within each impl block. Any bounds needed can be written as `where` clauses on the method instead:

```rust
impl<T> Option<T> {
    pub fn unwrap_or(self, default: T) -> T {
        ...
    }

    pub fn unwrap_or_default(self) -> T
    where
        T: Default,
    {
        ...
    }
}
```

Rollup merge of #92011 - Aaron1011:decode-span, r=michaelwoerister
Use field span in `rustc_macros` when emitting decode call

This will cause backtraces to point to the location of
the field in the struct/enum, rather than the derive macro.

This makes it clear which field was being decoded when the
backtrace was captured (which is especially useful if
there are multiple fields with the same type).

b5efe5727f Auto merge of #92179 - Aaron1011:incr-loaded-from-disk, r=michaelwoerister
Add `#[rustc_clean(loaded_from_disk)]` to assert loading of query result

Currently, you can use `#[rustc_clean]` to assert to that a particular
query (technically, a `DepNode`) is green or red. However, a green
`DepNode` does not mean that the query result was actually deserialized
from disk - we might have never re-run a query that needed the result.

Some incremental tests are written as regression tests for ICEs that
occured during query result decoding. Using
`#[rustc_clean(loaded_from_disk="typeck")]`, you can now assert
that the result of a particular query (e.g. `typeck`) was actually
loaded from disk, in addition to being green.

8f3238f898 Auto merge of #90128 - joshtriplett:stabilize-symbol-mangling-version, r=wesleywiser
Stabilize -Z symbol-mangling-version=v0 as -C symbol-mangling-version=v0

This allows selecting `v0` symbol-mangling without an unstable option. Selecting `legacy` still requires -Z unstable-options.

This does not change the default symbol-mangling-version. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/89917 for a pull request changing the default. Rationale, from #89917:

Rust's current mangling scheme depends on compiler internals; loses information about generic parameters (and other things) which makes for a worse experience when using external tools that need to interact with Rust symbol names; is inconsistent; and can contain . characters which aren't universally supported. Therefore, Rust has defined its own symbol mangling scheme which is defined in terms of the Rust language, not the compiler implementation; encodes information about generic parameters in a reversible way; has a consistent definition; and generates symbols that only use the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and _.

Support for the new Rust symbol mangling scheme has been added to upstream tools that will need to interact with Rust symbols (e.g. debuggers).

This pull request allows enabling the new v0 symbol-mangling-version.

See #89917 for references to the implementation of v0, and for references to the tool changes to decode Rust symbols.

03360be6b7 Auto merge of #92066 - Smittyvb:concat_bytes-repeat, r=nagisa
Support [x; n] expressions in concat_bytes!

Currently trying to use `concat_bytes!` with a repeating array value like `[42; 5]` results in an error:
```
error: expected a byte literal
 --> src/main.rs:3:27
  |
3 |     let x = concat_bytes!([3; 4]);
  |                           ^^^^^^
  |
  = note: only byte literals (like `b"foo"`, `b's'`, and `[3, 4, 5]`) can be passed to `concat_bytes!()`
```

This makes it so repeating array syntax can be used the same way normal arrays can be. The RFC doesn't explicitly mention repeat expressions, but it seems reasonable to allow them as well, since normal arrays are allowed.

It is possible to make the compiler get stuck compiling forever with `concat_bytes!([3; 999999999])`, but I don't think that's much of an issue since you can do that already with `const X: [u8; 999999999] = [3; 999999999];`.

Contributes to #87555.

f7934f693b Auto merge of #92034 - petrochenkov:nolinknores, r=joshtriplett
Remove effect of `#[no_link]` attribute on name resolution

Previously it hid all non-macro names from other crates.
This has no relation to linking and can change name resolution behavior in some cases (e.g. glob conflicts), in addition to just producing the "unresolved name" errors.

I can kind of understand the possible reasoning behind the current behavior - if you can use names from a `no_link` crates then you can use, for example, functions too, but whether it will actually work or produce link-time errors will depend on random factors like inliner behavior.
(^^^ This is not the actual reason why the current behavior exist, I've looked through git history and it's mostly accidental.)

I think this risk is ok for such an obscure attribute, and we don't need to specifically prevent use of non-macro items from such crates.
(I'm not actually sure why would anyone use `#[no_link]` on a crate, even if it's macro only, if you aware of any use cases, please share. IIRC, at some point it was used for crates implementing custom derives - the now removed legacy ones, not the current proc macros.)

Rollup merge of #92468 - NieDzejkob:silent-cfg, r=petrochenkov
Emit an error for `--cfg=)`

Fixes #73026

See also: #64467, #89468

The issue stems from a `FatalError` being silently raised in
`panictry_buffer`. Normally this is not a problem, because
`panictry_buffer` emits the causes of the error, but they are not
themselves fatal, so they get filtered out by the silent emitter.

To fix this, we use a parser entrypoint which doesn't use
`panictry_buffer`, and we handle the error ourselves.

Remove unnecessary bounds for some Hash{Map,Set} methods

This PR moves `HashMap::{into_keys,into_values,retain}` and `HashSet::retain` from `impl` blocks with `K: Eq + Hash, S: BuildHasher` into the blocks without them. It doesn't seem to me there is any reason these methods need to be bounded by that. This change brings `HashMap::{into_keys,into_values}` on par with `HashMap::{keys,values,values_mut}` which are not bounded either.

Rollup merge of #84083 - ltratt:threadid_doc_tweak, r=dtolnay
Clarify the guarantees that ThreadId does and doesn't make.

The existing documentation does not spell out whether `ThreadId`s are unique during the lifetime of a thread or of a process. I had to examine the source code to realise (pleasingly!) that they're unique for the lifetime of a process. That seems worth documenting clearly, as it's a strong guarantee.

Examining the way `ThreadId`s are created also made me realise that the `as_u64` method on `ThreadId` could be a trap for the unwary on those platforms where the platform's notion of a thread identifier is also a 64 bit integer (particularly if they happen to use a similar identifier scheme to `ThreadId`). I therefore think it's worth being even clearer that there's no relationship between the two.

It's not being used and uses unsound set_var and remove_var functions. This is an internal function that isn't exported (even with `process_internals` feature), so this shouldn't break anything.

Also see #92365. Note that this isn't the only use of those methods in standard library, so that particular pull request will need more changes than just this to work (in particular, `test_capture_env_at_spawn` is using `set_var` and `remove_var`).

The problem is that the existing implementation is actually getting a pointer range where both pointers are derived from the initialized region of the Vec's allocation, but we need the second one to be valid for the region between len and capacity. (thanks Ralf for clearing this up)

Emit an error for --cfg=)
Fixes #73026

See also: #64467, #89468

The issue stems from a `FatalError` being silently raised in
`panictry_buffer`. Normally this is not a problem, because
`panictry_buffer` emits the causes of the error, but they are not
themselves fatal, so they get filtered out by the silent emitter.

To fix this, we use a parser entrypoint which doesn't use
`panictry_buffer`, and we handle the error ourselves.

c9cf9c6507 Auto merge of #92294 - Kobzol:rustdoc-meta-kind, r=GuillaumeGomez
Add Attribute::meta_kind

The `AttrItem::meta` function is being called on a lot of places, however almost always the caller is only interested in the `kind` of the result `MetaItem`. Before, the `path`  had to be cloned in order to get the kind, now it does not have to be.

There is a larger related "problem". In a lot of places, something wants to know contents of attributes. This is accessed through `Attribute::meta_item_list`, which calls `AttrItem::meta` (now `AttrItem::meta_kind`), among other methods. When this function is called, the meta item list has to be recreated from scratch. Everytime something asks a simple question (like is this item/list of attributes `#[doc(hidden)]`?), the tokens of the attribute(s) are cloned, parsed and the results are allocated on the heap. That seems really unnecessary. What would be the best way to cache this? Turn `meta_item_list` into a query perhaps? Related PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/92227
