LLVM 18 requires the evex512 feature to allow use of zmm registers.
LLVM automatically sets it when using a generic CPU, but not when
`-C target-cpu` is specified. This will result either in backend
legalization crashes, or code unexpectedly using ymm instead of
zmm registers.
For now, make sure that `avx512*` features imply `evex512`. Long
term we'll probably have to deal with the AVX10 mess somehow.
Tighten up link attributes for llvm-wrapper bindings
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118084 by moving all of the declarations of symbols from `llvm_rust` into a separate extern block with `#[link(name = "llvm-wrapper", kind = "static")]`.
This also renames `LLVMTimeTraceProfiler*` to `LLVMRustTimeTraceProfiler*` because those are functions from `llvm_rust`.

Support `--print KIND=PATH` command line syntax
As is already done for `--emit KIND=PATH` and `-L KIND=PATH`.
In the discussion of #110785, it was pointed out that `--print KIND=PATH` is nicer than trying to apply the single global `-o` path to `--print`'s output, because in general there can be multiple print requests within a single rustc invocation, and anyway `-o` would already be used for a different meaning in the case of `link-args` and `native-static-libs`.
I am interested in using `--print cfg=PATH` in Buck2. Currently Buck2 works around the lack of support for `--print KIND=PATH` by [indirecting through a Python wrapper script](d43cf3a51a/prelude/rust/tools/get_rustc_cfg.py) to redirect rustc's stdout into the location dictated by the build system.
From skimming Cargo's usages of `--print`, it definitely seems like it would benefit from `--print KIND=PATH` too. Currently it is working around the lack of this by inserting `--crate-name=___ --print=crate-name` so that it can look for a line containing `___` as a delimiter between the 2 other `--print` informations it actually cares about. This is commented as a "HACK" and "abuse". 31eda6f7c3/src/cargo/core/compiler/build_context/target_info.rs (L242) (FYI `@weihanglo` as you dealt with this recently in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11633.)

LLVM has a neat [statistics] feature that tracks how often optimizations kick
in. It's very handy for optimization work. Since we expose the LLVM pass
timings, I thought it made sense to expose the LLVM statistics too.

Rather than returning an array of features from to_llvm_features, return a structure that contains
the dependencies. This also contains metadata on how the features depend on each other to allow for
the correct enabling and disabling.
Some features that are tied together only make sense to be folded
together when enabling the feature. For example on AArch64 sve and
neon are tied together, however it doesn't make sense to disable neon
when disabling sve.
In #91608 the fp-armv8 feature was removed as it's tied to the neon
feature. However disabling neon didn't actually disable the use of
floating point registers and instructions, for this `-fp-armv8` is
required.
Remove misleading target feature aliases
Fixes#100752. This is a follow up to #103750. These aliases could not be completely removed until rust-lang/stdarch#1355 landed.

Print all features with --print target-features
This fixes `rustc --print target-features` with respect to aliases and tied features.
Before this change, the print command assumed that each LLVM feature corresponds exactly to one rustc feature. In the case of aliases and tied features, this assumption failed and some features (such as aarch64's "pacg") were missing. With this change, every target feature is listed.
After https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/8689f5e landed, LLVM takes the intersection of v8a and v8r as default.
This commit brings back v8a support by explicitly specifying v8a in the feature list.
This should solve #97724.
Add support for MIPS VZ ISA extension
[Link to relevant LLVM line where virt extension is specified](83fab8cee9/llvm/lib/Target/Mips/Mips.td (L172-L173))
This has been tested on mips-unknown-linux-musl with a target-cpu that is >= MIPS32 5 and `target-features=+virt`. The example was checked in a disassembler to ensure the correct assembly sequence was being generated using the virtualization instructions.
Needed additional work:
* MIPS is missing from [the Rust reference CPU feature lists](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/attributes/codegen.html#available-features)
Example docs for later:
```md
#### `mips` or `mips64`
This platform requires that `#[target_feature]` is only applied to [`unsafe`
functions][unsafe function]. This target's feature support is currently unstable
and must be enabled by `#![feature(mips_target_feature)]` ([Issue #44839])
[Issue #44839]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44839
Further documentation on these features can be found in the [MIPS Instruction Set
Reference Manual], or elsewhere on [mips.com].

Feature | Implicitly Enables | Description
---------------|--------------------|-------------------
`fp64` | | 64-bit Floating Point
`msa` | | "MIPS SIMD Architecture"
`virt` | | Virtualization instructions (VZ ASE)
```
If the above is good I can also submit a PR for that if there's interest in documenting it while it's still unstable. Otherwise that can be dropped, I just wrote it before realizing it was possibly not a good idea.
Relevant to #44839
