...and remove it from `PointeeInfo`, which isn't meant for this.
There are still various places (marked with FIXMEs) that assume all pointers
have the same size and alignment. Fixing this requires parsing non-default
address spaces in the data layout string, which will be done in a followup.
Use struct types during codegen in less places
This makes it easier to use cg_ssa from a backend like Cranelift that doesn't have any struct types at all. After this PR struct types are still used for function arguments and return values. Removing those usages is harder but should still be doable.
Add LLVM KCFI support to the Rust compiler
This PR adds LLVM Kernel Control Flow Integrity (KCFI) support to the Rust compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow protection for operating systems kernels for Rust-compiled code only by aggregating function pointers in groups identified by their return and parameter types. (See llvm/llvm-project@cff5bef.)
Forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust -compiled code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust -compiled code share the same virtual address space) will be provided in later work as part of this project by identifying C char and integer type uses at the time types are encoded (see Type metadata in the design document in the tracking issue #89653).
LLVM KCFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=kcfi.
Thank you again, `@bjorn3,` `@eddyb,` `@nagisa,` and `@ojeda,` for all the help!

This ensures that the error is printed even for unused variables,
as well as unifying the handling between the LLVM and GCC backends.
This also fixes unusual behavior around exported Rust-defined variables
with linkage attributes. With the previous behavior, it appears to be
impossible to define such a variable such that it can actually be imported
and used by another crate. This is because on the importing side, the
variable is required to be a pointer, but on the exporting side, the
type checker rejects static variables of pointer type because they do
not implement `Sync`. Even if it were possible to import such a type, it
appears that code generation on the importing side would add an unexpected
additional level of pointer indirection, which would break type safety.
This highlighted that the semantics of linkage on Rust-defined variables
is different to linkage on foreign items. As such, we now model the
difference with two different codegen attributes: linkage for Rust-defined
variables, and import_linkage for foreign items.
This change gives semantics to the test
src/test/ui/linkage-attr/auxiliary/def_illtyped_external.rs which was
previously expected to fail to compile. Therefore, convert it into a
test that is expected to successfully compile.
The update to the GCC backend is speculative and untested.
Prefer doc comments over `//`-comments in compiler
Doc comments are generally nicer: they show up in the documentation, they are shown in IDEs when you hover other mentions of items, etc. Thus it makes sense to use them instead of `//`-comments.
Improve generating Custom entry function
This commit is aimed at making compiler-generated entry functions (Basically just C `main` right now) more generic so other targets can do similar things for custom entry. This was initially implemented as part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100316.
Currently, this moves the entry function name and Call convention to the target spec.

Fix some misleading target feature aliases
This is the first half of a fix for #100752. It looks like these aliases were added in #78361 and slipped under the radar, as these features are not AVX512. These features _do_ add AVX512 instructions when used _in combination_ with AVX512F, but without AVX512F, these features still provide 128-bit and 256-bit vector instructions. A user might be mislead into thinking these features imply AVX512F (which is true of the actual AVX512 features). This PR allows using the names as defined by LLVM, which matches Intel documentation.
A future PR should change the `std::arch` intrinsics to use these names, and finally remove these aliases from rustc.

For the next commit, `FunctionCx::codegen_*_terminator` need to take a
`&mut Bx` instead of consuming a `Bx`. This triggers a cascade of
similar changes across multiple functions. The resulting code is more
concise and replaces many `&mut bx` expressions with `bx`.
Perform simple scalar replacement of aggregates (SROA) MIR opt
This is a re-open of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/85796
I copied the debuginfo implementation (first commit) from `@eddyb's` own SROA PR.
This pass replaces plain field accesses by simple locals when possible.
To be eligible, the replaced locals:
- must not be enums or unions;
- must not be used whole;
- must not have their address taken.
The storage and deinit statements are duplicated on each created local.

interpret: support for per-byte provenance
Also factors the provenance map into its own module.
The third commit does the same for the init mask. I can move it in a separate PR if you prefer.

Moved type_array function to rustc_codegen_ssa::BaseTypeMethods trait.
This allows using normal alloca function to create arrays as suggested in
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104022.

The new implementation doesn't use weak lang items and instead changes
`#[alloc_error_handler]` to an attribute macro just like
`#[global_allocator]`.
The attribute will generate the `__rg_oom` function which is called by
the compiler-generated `__rust_alloc_error_handler`. If no `__rg_oom`
function is defined in any crate then the compiler shim will call
`__rdl_oom` in the alloc crate which will simply panic.
This also fixes link errors with `-C link-dead-code` with
`default_alloc_error_handler`: `__rg_oom` was previously defined in the
alloc crate and would attempt to reference the `oom` lang item, even if
it didn't exist. This worked as long as `__rg_oom` was excluded from
linking since it was not called.
This is a prerequisite for the stabilization of
`default_alloc_error_handler` (#102318).
Migrate rustc_codegen_gcc to SessionDiagnostics
As part of #100717 this pr migrates diagnostics to `SessionDiagnostics` for the `rustc_codegen_gcc` crate.
