This commit renames the current `wasm32-wasi-preview1-threads` target to
`wasm32-wasip1-threads`. The need for this rename is a bit unfortunate
as the previous name was chosen in an attempt to be future-compatible
with other WASI targets. Originally this target was proposed to be
`wasm32-wasi-threads`, and that's what was originally implemented in
wasi-sdk as well. After discussion though and with the plans for the
upcoming component-model target (now named `wasm32-wasip2`) the
"preview1" naming was chosen for the threads-based target. The WASI
subgroup later decided that it was time to drop the "preview"
terminology and recommends "pX" instead, hence previous PRs to add
`wasm32-wasip2` and rename `wasm32-wasi` to `wasm32-wasip1`.
So, with all that history, the "proper name" for this target is
different than its current name, so one way or another a rename is
required. This PR proposes renaming this target cold-turkey, unlike
`wasm32-wasi` which is having a long transition period to change its
name. The threads-based target is predicted to see only a fraction of
the traffic of `wasm32-wasi` due to the unstable nature of the WASI
threads proposal itself.
While I was here I updated the in-tree documentation in the target spec
file itself as most of the documentation was copied from the original
WASI target and wasn't as applicable to this target.
Also, as an aside, I can at least try to apologize for all the naming
confusion here, but this is hopefully the last WASI-related rename.
Introduces the `arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc` target for building Arm64EC ("Emulation Compatible") binaries for Windows.
For more information about Arm64EC see <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/arm64ec>.
Tier 3 policy:
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
I will be the maintainer for this target.
> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
Target uses the `arm64ec` architecture to match LLVM and MSVC, and the `-pc-windows-msvc` suffix to indicate that it targets Windows via the MSVC environment.
> Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
Target name exactly specifies the type of code that will be produced.
> If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
Done.
> Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users.
> The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
Uses the same dependencies, requirements and licensing as the other `*-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
> Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (MIT OR Apache-2.0).
Understood.
> The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the tidy tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be subject to any new license requirements.
> Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require such libraries at all. For instance, rustc built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
> "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are not limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users.
Uses the same dependencies, requirements and licensing as the other `*-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
> Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions.
> This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
Understood, I am not a member of the Rust team.
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
Both `core` and `alloc` are supported.
Support for `std` dependends on making changes to the standard library, `stdarch` and `backtrace` which cannot be done yet as the bootstrapping compiler raises a warning ("unexpected `cfg` condition value") for `target_arch = "arm64ec"`.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
Documentation is provided in src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc.md
> Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via @) to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
> Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications.
> Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
> In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
Understood.
Add a new `wasm32-wasip1` target to rustc
This commit adds a new target called `wasm32-wasip1` to rustc. This new target is explained in these two MCPs:
* https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/607
* https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/695
In short, the previous `wasm32-wasi` target is going to be renamed to `wasm32-wasip1` to better live alongside the [new `wasm32-wasip2` target](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119616). This new target is added alongside the `wasm32-wasi` target and has the exact same definition as the previous target. This PR is effectively a rename of `wasm32-wasi` to `wasm32-wasip1`. Note, however, that as explained in rust-lang/compiler-team#695 the previous `wasm32-wasi` target is not being removed at this time. This change will reach stable Rust before even a warning about the rename will be printed. At this time this change is just the start where a new target is introduced and users can start migrating if they support only Nightly for example.

On ELF, the text section is opened with ".text", on MachO with
".section __TEXT,__text".
Previously, on ELF this test was actually matching a GNU note
section, which is no longer emitted on Solaris starting with
LLVM 18.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120105.
Adds a basic assembly test checking that each target can produce assembly
and update the target tier policy to require this.
