Clean up various LLVM FFI things in codegen_llvm
cc ```@ZuseZ4``` I touched some autodiff parts
The major change of this PR is [bfd88ce](bfd88cead0) which makes `CodegenCx` generic just like `GenericBuilder`
The other commits mostly took advantage of the new feature of making extern functions safe, but also just used some wrappers that were already there and shrunk unsafe blocks.
best reviewed commit-by-commit
`rustc_codegen_llvm` relied on `Deref` impls where `Deref::Target` was
or contained an extern type - in my experimental implementation of
rust-lang/rfcs#3729, this isn't possible as the `Target` associated
type's `?Sized` bound cannot be relaxed backwards compatibly (unless we
come up with some way of doing this).
In later pull requests with the rust-lang/rfcs#3729 implementation,
breakage like this could only occur for nightly users relying on the
`extern_types` feature.
Upstreaming this to avoid needing to keep carrying this patch locally,
and I think it'll necessarily need to change eventually.
nvptx64: update default alignment to match LLVM 21
This changed in llvm/llvm-project@91cb8f5d32. The commit itself is mostly about some intrinsic instructions, but as an aside it also mentions something about addrspace for tensor memory, which I believe is what this string is telling us.

Separate Builder methods from tcx
As part of the autodiff upstreaming we noticed, that it would be nice to have various builder methods available without the TypeContext, which prevents the normal CodegenCx to be passed around between threads.
We introduce a SimpleCx which just owns the llvm module and llvm context, to encapsulate them.
The previous CodegenCx now implements deref and forwards access to the llvm module or context to it's SimpleCx sub-struct. This gives us a bit more flexibility, because now we can pass (or construct) the SimpleCx in locations where we don't have enough information to construct a CodegenCx, or are not able to pass it around due to the tcx lifetimes (and it not implementing send/sync).
This also introduces an SBuilder, similar to the SimpleCx. The SBuilder uses a SimpleCx, whereas the existing Builder uses the larger CodegenCx. I will push updates to make implementations generic (where possible) to be implemented once and work for either of the two. I'll also clean up the leftover code.
`call` is a bit tricky, because it requires a tcx, I probably need to duplicate it after all.

remove support for the (unstable) #[start] attribute
As explained by `@Noratrieb:`
`#[start]` should be deleted. It's nothing but an accidentally leaked implementation detail that's a not very useful mix between "portable" entrypoint logic and bad abstraction.
I think the way the stable user-facing entrypoint should work (and works today on stable) is pretty simple:
- `std`-using cross-platform programs should use `fn main()`. the compiler, together with `std`, will then ensure that code ends up at `main` (by having a platform-specific entrypoint that gets directed through `lang_start` in `std` to `main` - but that's just an implementation detail)
- `no_std` platform-specific programs should use `#![no_main]` and define their own platform-specific entrypoint symbol with `#[no_mangle]`, like `main`, `_start`, `WinMain` or `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here`. most of them only support a single platform anyways, and need cfg for the different platform's ways of passing arguments or other things *anyways*
`#[start]` is in a super weird position of being neither of those two. It tries to pretend that it's cross-platform, but its signature is a total lie. Those arguments are just stubbed out to zero on ~~Windows~~ wasm, for example. It also only handles the platform-specific entrypoints for a few platforms that are supported by `std`, like Windows or Unix-likes. `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here` can't use it, and neither could a libc-less Linux program.
So we have an attribute that only works in some cases anyways, that has a signature that's a total lie (and a signature that, as I might want to add, has changed recently, and that I definitely would not be comfortable giving *any* stability guarantees on), and where there's a pretty easy way to get things working without it in the first place.
Note that this feature has **not** been RFCed in the first place.
*This comment was posted [in May](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29633#issuecomment-2088596042) and so far nobody spoke up in that issue with a usecase that would require keeping the attribute.*

The amdgpu-kernel calling convention was reverted in commit
f6b21e90d1 due to inactivity in the amdgpu
target.
Introduce a `gpu-kernel` calling convention that translates to
`ptx_kernel` or `amdgpu_kernel`, depending on the target that rust
compiles for.
LLVM continues to clean these up, and we continue to make this
consistent. This is similar to 9caced7bad,
e985396145, and
a10e744faf.

the behavior of the type system not only depends on the current
assumptions, but also the currentnphase of the compiler. This is
mostly necessary as we need to decide whether and how to reveal
opaque types. We track this via the `TypingMode`.
rustc_codegen_llvm: Add a new 'pc' option to branch-protection
Add a new 'pc' option to -Z branch-protection for aarch64 that enables the use of PC as a diversifier in PAC branch protection code.
When the pauth-lr target feature is enabled in combination with -Z branch-protection=pac-ret,pc, the new 9.5-a instructions (pacibsppc, retaasppc, etc) will be generated.
Move versioned Apple LLVM targets from `rustc_target` to `rustc_codegen_ssa`
Fully specified LLVM targets contain the OS version on macOS/iOS/tvOS/watchOS/visionOS, and this version depends on the deployment target environment variables like `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET`, `IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` etc.
We would like to move this to later in the compilation pipeline, both because it feels impure to access environment variables when fetching target information, but mostly because we need access to more information from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130883 to do https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118204. See also https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129342#issuecomment-2335156119 for some discussion.
The first and second commit does the actual refactor, it should be a non-functional change, the third commit adds diagnostics for invalid deployment targets, which are now possible to do because we have access to the session.
Tested with the same commands as in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130435.

The OS version depends on the deployment target environment variables,
the access of which we want to move to later in the compilation pipeline
that has access to more information, for example `env_depinfo`.
LLVM continues to align more 128-bit integers to 128-bits in the data
layout rather than relying on the high level language to do it. Update
SPARC target files to match and add a backcompat replacement for current
LLVMs.

- 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
Replace some LLVMRust wrappers with calls to the LLVM C API
This PR removes the LLVMRust wrapper functions for getting/setting linkage and visibility, and replaces them with direct calls to the corresponding functions in LLVM's C API.
To make this convenient and sound, two pieces of supporting code have also been added:
- A simple proc-macro that derives `TryFrom<u32>` for fieldless enums
- A wrapper type for C enum values returned by LLVM functions, to ensure soundness if LLVM returns an enum value we don't know about
In a few places, the use of safe wrapper functions means that an `unsafe` block is no longer needed, so the affected code has changed its indentation level.
coverage: Consolidate creation of covmap/covfun records
This code for creating covmap/covfun records during codegen was split across multiple functions and files for dubious historical reasons. Having it all in one place makes it easier to follow.
This PR also includes two semi-related cleanups:
- Getting the codegen context's `coverage_cx` state is made infallible, since it should always exist when running the code paths that need it.
- The value of `covfun_section_name` is saved in the codegen context, since it never changes at runtime, and the code that needs it has access to the context anyway.
---
Background: Coverage instrumentation generates two kinds of metadata that are embedded in the final binary. There is per-CGU information that goes in the `__llvm_covmap` linker section, and per-function information that goes in the `__llvm_covfun` section (except on Windows, where slightly different section names are used).
LLVM has added 3 new address spaces to support special Windows use
cases. These shouldn't trouble us for now, but LLVM requires matching
data layouts.
See llvm/llvm-project#111879 for details
Add intrinsics `fmuladd{f16,f32,f64,f128}`. This computes `(a * b) +
c`, to be fused if the code generator determines that (i) the target
instruction set has support for a fused operation, and (ii) that the
fused operation is more efficient than the equivalent, separate pair
of `mul` and `add` instructions.
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-fmuladd-intrinsic
MIRI support is included for f32 and f64.
The codegen_cranelift uses the `fma` function from libc, which is a
correct implementation, but without the desired performance semantic. I
think this requires an update to cranelift to expose a suitable
instruction in its IR.
I have not tested with codegen_gcc, but it should behave the same
way (using `fma` from libc).
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.
