By changing `as_str()` to take `&self` instead of `self`, we can just
return `&str`. We're still lying about lifetimes, but it's a smaller lie
than before, where `SymbolStr` contained a (fake) `&'static str`!
Add LLVM CFI support to the Rust compiler
This PR adds LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI) support to the Rust compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow protection for Rust-compiled code only by aggregating function pointers in groups identified by their number of arguments.
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 defining and using compatible type identifiers (see Type metadata in the design document in the tracking issue #89653).
LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and requires LTO (i.e., -Clto).
Thank you, `@eddyb` and `@pcc,` for all the help!

lazily "compute" anon const default substs
Continuing the work of #83086, this implements the discussed solution for the [unused substs problem](https://github.com/rust-lang/project-const-generics/blob/master/design-docs/anon-const-substs.md#unused-substs). As of now, anonymous constants inherit all of their parents generics, even if they do not use them, e.g. in `fn foo<T, const N: usize>() -> [T; N + 1]`, the array length has `T` as a generic parameter even though it doesn't use it. These *unused substs* cause some backwards incompatible, and imo incorrect behavior, e.g. #78369.
---
We do not actually filter any generic parameters here and the `default_anon_const_substs` query still a dummy which only checks that
- we now prevent the previously existing query cycles and are able to call `predicates_of(parent)` when computing the substs of anonymous constants
- the default anon consts substs only include the typeflags we assume it does.
Implementing that filtering will be left as future work.
---
The idea of this PR is to delay the creation of the anon const substs until after we've computed `predicates_of` for the parent of the anon const. As the predicates of the parent can however contain the anon const we still have to create a `ty::Const` for it.
We do this by changing the substs field of `ty::Unevaluated` to an option and modifying accesses to instead call the method `unevaluated.substs(tcx)` which returns the substs as before. If the substs - now `substs_` - of `ty::Unevaluated` are `None`, it means that the anon const currently has its default substs, i.e. the substs it has when first constructed, which are the generic parameters it has available. To be able to call `unevaluated.substs(tcx)` in a `TypeVisitor`, we add the non-defaulted method `fn tcx_for_anon_const_substs(&self) -> Option<TyCtxt<'tcx>>`. In case `tcx_for_anon_const_substs` returns `None`, unknown anon const default substs are skipped entirely.
Even when `substs_` is `None` we still have to treat the constant as if it has its default substs. To do this, `TypeFlags` are modified so that it is clear whether they can still change when *exposing* any anon const default substs. A new flag, `HAS_UNKNOWN_DEFAULT_CONST_SUBSTS`, is added in case some default flags are missing.
The rest of this PR are some smaller changes to either not cause cycles by trying to access the default anon const substs too early or to be able to access the `tcx` in previously unused locations.

r? `@nikomatsakis`
Instead of updating global state to mark attributes as used,
we now explicitly emit a warning when an attribute is used in
an unsupported position. As a side effect, we are to emit more
detailed warning messages (instead of just a generic "unused" message).
`Session.check_name` is removed, since its only purpose was to mark
the attribute as used. All of the callers are modified to use
`Attribute.has_name`
Additionally, `AttributeType::AssumedUsed` is removed - an 'assumed
used' attribute is implemented by simply not performing any checks
in `CheckAttrVisitor` for a particular attribute.
We no longer emit unused attribute warnings for the `#[rustc_dummy]`
attribute - it's an internal attribute used for tests, so it doesn't
mark sense to treat it as 'unused'.
With this commit, a large source of global untracked state is removed.
Plugin interface cleanup
The first commit performs two uncontroversial cleanups. The second commit removes `#[plugin_registrar]` and instead requires you to export a `__rustc_plugin_registrar` function, this will require a change to servo's script_plugins (cc `@jdm)`
rfc3052 followup: Remove authors field from Cargo manifests
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information for contributors, we may as well
remove it from crates in this repo.
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
The compression caches currently don't have any dedicated functionality
that would benefit from being separated. Incorporating caches directly
into the symbol manger also avoids dynamic memory allocation.
The symbol mangler, which is often passed by value, is now slightly
larger. This aspect will be addressed by a follow-up commit.
### Overview
This commit begins the implementation work for RFC 2945. For more
information, see the rendered RFC [1] and tracking issue [2].
A boolean `unwind` payload is added to the `C`, `System`, `Stdcall`,
and `Thiscall` variants, marking whether unwinding across FFI
boundaries is acceptable. The cases where each of these variants'
`unwind` member is true correspond with the `C-unwind`,
`system-unwind`, `stdcall-unwind`, and `thiscall-unwind` ABI strings
introduced in RFC 2945 [3].
### Feature Gate and Unstable Book
This commit adds a `c_unwind` feature gate for the new ABI strings.
Tests for this feature gate are included in `src/test/ui/c-unwind/`,
which ensure that this feature gate works correctly for each of the
new ABIs.
A new language features entry in the unstable book is added as well.
### Further Work To Be Done
This commit does not proceed to implement the new unwinding ABIs,
and is intentionally scoped specifically to *defining* the ABIs and
their feature flag.
### One Note on Test Churn
This will lead to some test churn, in re-blessing hash tests, as the
deleted comment in `src/librustc_target/spec/abi.rs` mentioned,
because we can no longer guarantee the ordering of the `Abi`
variants.
While this is a downside, this decision was made bearing in mind
that RFC 2945 states the following, in the "Other `unwind` Strings"
section [3]:
> More unwind variants of existing ABI strings may be introduced,
> with the same semantics, without an additional RFC.
Adding a new variant for each of these cases, rather than specifying
a payload for a given ABI, would quickly become untenable, and make
working with the `Abi` enum prone to mistakes.
This approach encodes the unwinding information *into* a given ABI,
to account for the future possibility of other `-unwind` ABI
strings.
### Ignore Directives
`ignore-*` directives are used in two of our `*-unwind` ABI test
cases.
Specifically, the `stdcall-unwind` and `thiscall-unwind` test cases
ignore architectures that do not support `stdcall` and
`thiscall`, respectively.
These directives are cribbed from
`src/test/ui/c-variadic/variadic-ffi-1.rs` for `stdcall`, and
`src/test/ui/extern/extern-thiscall.rs` for `thiscall`.
This would otherwise fail on some targets, see:
