cg_llvm: Clean up FFI calls for operand bundles
All of these FFI functions have equivalents in the stable LLVM-C API, though `LLVMBuildCallBr` requires a temporary polyfill on LLVM 18.
This PR also creates a clear split between `OperandBundleOwned` and `OperandBundle`, and updates the internals of the owner to be a little less terrifying.
cg_llvm: Clean up FFI calls for setting module flags
This is a combination of several inter-related changes to how module flags are set:
- Remove some unnecessary code for setting an `"LTOPostLink"` flag, which has been obsolete since LLVM 17.
- Define our own enum instead of relying on enum values defined by LLVM's unstable C++ API.
- Use safe wrapper functions to set module flags, instead of direct `unsafe` calls.
- Consistently pass pointer/length strings instead of C strings.
- Remove or shrink some `unsafe` blocks.
- Don't rely on enum values defined by LLVM's C++ API
- Use safe wrapper functions instead of direct `unsafe` calls
- Consistently pass pointer/length strings instead of C strings
coverage: Pass coverage mappings to LLVM as separate structs
Instead of trying to cram *N* different kinds of coverage mapping data into a single list for FFI, pass *N* different lists of simpler structs.
This avoids the need to fill unused fields with dummy values, and avoids the need to tag structs with their underlying kind. It also lets us call the dedicated LLVM constructors for each different mapping type, instead of having to go through the complex general-purpose constructor.
Even though this adds multiple new structs to the FFI surface area, the resulting C++ code is simpler and shorter.
---
I've structured this mostly as a single atomic patch, rather than a series of incremental changes, because that avoids the need to make fiddly fixes to code that is about to be deleted anyway.
Migrate `llvm::set_comdat` and `llvm::SetUniqueComdat` to LLVM-C FFI.
Note, now we can call `llvm::set_comdat` only when the target actually
supports adding comdat. As this has no convenient LLVM-C API, we
implement this as `TargetOptions::supports_comdat`.

llvm: replace some deprecated functions
`LLVMMDStringInContext` and `LLVMMDNodeInContext` are deprecated, replace them with `LLVMMDStringInContext2` and `LLVMMDNodeInContext2`.
Also replace `Value` with `Metadata` in some function signatures for better consistency.
Because constants are currently emitted *before* the prologue, leaving the
debug location on the IRBuilder spills onto other instructions in the prologue
and messes up both line numbers as well as the point LLVM chooses to be the
prologue end.
Example LLVM IR (irrelevant IR elided):
Before:
define internal { i64, i64 } @_ZN3tmp3Foo18var_return_opt_try17he02116165b0fc08cE(ptr align 8 %self) !dbg !347 {
start:
%self.dbg.spill = alloca [8 x i8], align 8
%_0 = alloca [16 x i8], align 8
%residual.dbg.spill = alloca [0 x i8], align 1
#dbg_declare(ptr %residual.dbg.spill, !353, !DIExpression(), !357)
store ptr %self, ptr %self.dbg.spill, align 8, !dbg !357
#dbg_declare(ptr %self.dbg.spill, !350, !DIExpression(), !358)
After:
define internal { i64, i64 } @_ZN3tmp3Foo18var_return_opt_try17h00b17d08874ddd90E(ptr align 8 %self) !dbg !347 {
start:
%self.dbg.spill = alloca [8 x i8], align 8
%_0 = alloca [16 x i8], align 8
%residual.dbg.spill = alloca [0 x i8], align 1
#dbg_declare(ptr %residual.dbg.spill, !353, !DIExpression(), !357)
store ptr %self, ptr %self.dbg.spill, align 8
#dbg_declare(ptr %self.dbg.spill, !350, !DIExpression(), !358)
Note in particular how !357 from %residual.dbg.spill's dbg_declare no longer
falls through onto the store to %self.dbg.spill. This fixes argument values
at entry when the constant is a ZST (e.g. <Option as Try>::Residual). This
fixes#130003 (but note that it does *not* fix issues with argument values and
non-ZST constants, which emit their own stores that have debug info on them,
like #128945).
Add `select_unpredictable` to force LLVM to use CMOV
Since https://reviews.llvm.org/D118118, LLVM will no longer turn CMOVs into branches if it comes from a `select` marked with an `unpredictable` metadata attribute.
This PR introduces `core::intrinsics::select_unpredictable` which emits such a `select` and uses it in the implementation of `binary_search_by`.

Sync ar_archive_writer to LLVM 18.1.3
From LLVM 15.0.0-rc3. This adds support for COFF archives containing Arm64EC object files and has various fixes for AIX big archive files.
The return value changed from an Instruction to a DbgRecord in
LLVM 19. As we don't actually use the result, drop the return
value entirely to support both.
Since this codegen flag now only controls LLVM-generated comments rather than
all assembly comments, make the name more accurate (and also match Clang).
If we don't do this, some versions of LLVM (at least 17, experimentally)
will double-emit some error messages, which is how I noticed this. Given
that it seems to be costing some extra work, let's only request the
summary bitcode production if we'll actually bother writing it down,
otherwise skip it.
Typical uses of ThinLTO don't have any use for this as a standalone
file, but distributed ThinLTO uses this to make the linker phase more
efficient. With clang you'd do something like `clang -flto=thin
-fthin-link-bitcode=foo.indexing.o -c foo.c` and then get both foo.o
(full of bitcode) and foo.indexing.o (just the summary or index part of
the bitcode). That's then usable by a two-stage linking process that's
more friendly to distributed build systems like bazel, which is why I'm
working on this area.
I talked some to @teresajohnson about naming in this area, as things
seem to be a little confused between various blog posts and build
systems. "bitcode index" and "bitcode summary" tend to be a little too
ambiguous, and she tends to use "thin link bitcode" and "minimized
bitcode" (which matches the descriptions in LLVM). Since the clang
option is thin-link-bitcode, I went with that to try and not add a new
spelling in the world.
Per @dtolnay, you can work around the lack of this by using `lld
--thinlto-index-only` to do the indexing on regular .o files of
bitcode, but that is a bit wasteful on actions when we already have all
the information in rustc and could just write out the matching minimized
bitcode. I didn't test that at all in our infrastructure, because by the
time I learned that I already had this patch largely written.
Set writable and dead_on_unwind attributes for sret arguments
Set the `writable` and `dead_on_unwind` attributes for `sret` arguments. This allows call slot optimization to remove more memcpy's.
See https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#parameter-attributes for the specification of these attributes. In short, the statement we're making here is that:
* The return slot is writable.
* The return slot will not be read if the function unwinds.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/90595.
