This ensures that the error is printed even for unused variables,
as well as unifying the handling between the LLVM and GCC backends.
This also fixes unusual behavior around exported Rust-defined variables
with linkage attributes. With the previous behavior, it appears to be
impossible to define such a variable such that it can actually be imported
and used by another crate. This is because on the importing side, the
variable is required to be a pointer, but on the exporting side, the
type checker rejects static variables of pointer type because they do
not implement `Sync`. Even if it were possible to import such a type, it
appears that code generation on the importing side would add an unexpected
additional level of pointer indirection, which would break type safety.
This highlighted that the semantics of linkage on Rust-defined variables
is different to linkage on foreign items. As such, we now model the
difference with two different codegen attributes: linkage for Rust-defined
variables, and import_linkage for foreign items.
This change gives semantics to the test
src/test/ui/linkage-attr/auxiliary/def_illtyped_external.rs which was
previously expected to fail to compile. Therefore, convert it into a
test that is expected to successfully compile.
The update to the GCC backend is speculative and untested.
Prevent DllImport from being attached to DSOLocal definitions in the
LLVM IR. The combination makes no sense, since definitions local to the
compilation unit will never be imported from external objects.
Additionally, LLVM will refuse the IR if it encounters the
combination (introduced in [1]):
if (GV.hasDLLImportStorageClass())
Assert(!GV.isDSOLocal(),
"GlobalValue with DLLImport Storage is dso_local!", &GV);
Right now, codegen-llvm will only apply DllImport to constants and rely
on call-stubs for functions. Hence, we simply extend the codegen of
constants to skip DllImport for any local definitions.
This was discovered when switching the EFI targets to the static
relocation model [2]. With this fixed, we can start another attempt at
this.

Users report an AV at runtime of the compiled binary when using lld and
ThinLTO on windows-msvc. The AV occurs when accessing a static value
which is defined in one crate but used in another. Based on the
disassembly of the cross-crate use, it appears that the use is not
correctly linked with the definition and is instead assigned a garbage
pointer value.
If we look at the symbol tables for each crates' obj file, we can see
what is happening:
*lib.obj*:
```
COFF SYMBOL TABLE
...
00E 00000000 SECT2 notype External | _ZN10reproducer7memrchr2FN17h612b61ca0e168901E
...
```
*bin.obj*:
```
COFF SYMBOL TABLE
...
010 00000000 UNDEF notype External | __imp__ZN10reproducer7memrchr2FN17h612b61ca0e168901E
...
```
The use of the symbol has the "import" style symbol name but the
declaration doesn't generate any symbol with the same name. As a result,
linking the files generates a warning from lld:
> rust-lld: warning: bin.obj: locally defined symbol imported: reproducer::memrchr::FN::h612b61ca0e168901 (defined in lib.obj) [LNK4217]
and the symbol reference remains undefined at runtime leading to the AV.
To fix this, we just need to detect that we are performing ThinLTO (and
thus, static linking) and omit the `dllimport` attribute on the extern
item in LLVM IR.
make vtable pointers entirely opaque
This implements the scheme discussed in https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/338: vtable pointers should be considered entirely opaque and not even readable by Rust code, similar to function pointers.
- We have a new kind of `GlobalAlloc` that symbolically refers to a vtable.
- Miri uses that kind of allocation when generating a vtable.
- The codegen backends, upon encountering such an allocation, call `vtable_allocation` to obtain an actually dataful allocation for this vtable.
- We need new intrinsics to obtain the size and align from a vtable (for some `ptr::metadata` APIs), since direct accesses are UB now.
I had to touch quite a bit of code that I am not very familiar with, so some of this might not make much sense...

Only compile #[used] as llvm.compiler.used for ELF targets
This returns `#[used]` to how it worked prior to the LLVM 13 update. The intention is not that this is a stable promise.
I'll add tests later today. The tests will test things that we don't actually promise, though.
It's a deliberately small patch, mostly comments. And assuming it's reviewed and lands in time, IMO it should at least be considered for uplifting to beta (so that it can be in 1.59), as the change broke many crates in the ecosystem, even if they are relying on behavior that is not guaranteed.
# Background
LLVM has two ways of preventing removal of an unused variable: `llvm.compiler.used`, which must be present in object files, but allows the linker to remove the value, and `llvm.used` which is supposed to apply to the linker as well, if possible.
Prior to LLVM 13, `llvm.used` and `llvm.compiler.used` were the same on ELF targets, although they were different elsewhere. Prior to our update to LLVM 13, we compiled `#[used]` using `llvm.used` unconditionally, even though we only ever promised behavior like `llvm.compiler.used`.
In LLVM 13, ELF targets gained some support for preventing linker removal of `llvm.used` via the SHF_RETAIN section flag. This has some compatibility issues though: Concretely: some older versions `ld.gold` (specifically ones prior to v2.36, released in Jan 2021) had a bug where it would fail to place a `#[used] #[link_section = ".init_array"]` static in between `__init_array_start`/`__init_array_end`, leading to code that does this failing to run a static constructor. This is technically not a thing we guarantee will work, is a common use case, and is needed in `libstd` (for example, to get access to `std::env::args()` even if Rust does not control `main`, such as when in a `cdylib` crate).
As a result, when updating to LLVM 13, we unconditionally switched to using `llvm.compiler.used`, which mirror the guarantees we make for `#[used]` and doesn't require the latest ld.gold. Unfortunately, this happened to break quite a bit of things in the ecosystem, as non-ELF targets had come to rely on `#[used]` being slightly stronger. In particular, there are cases where it will even break static constructors on these targets[^initinit] (and in fact, breaks way more use cases, as Mach-O uses special sections as an interface to the OS/linker/loader in many places).
As a result, we only switch to `llvm.compiler.used` on ELF[^elfish] targets. The rationale here is:
1. It is (hopefully) identical to the semantics we used prior to the LLVM13 update as prior to that update we unconditionally used `llvm.used`, but on ELF `llvm.used` was the same as `llvm.compiler.used`.
2. It seems to be how Clang compiles this, and given that they have similar (but stronger) compatibility promises, that makes sense.
[^initinit]: For Mach-O targets: It is not always guaranteed that `__DATA,__mod_init_func` is a GC root if it does not have the `S_MOD_INIT_FUNC_POINTERS` flag which we cannot add. In most cases, when ld64 transformed this section into `__DATA_CONST,__mod_init_func` it gets applied, but it's not clear that that is intentional (let alone guaranteed), and the logic is complex enough that it probably happens sometimes, and people in the wild report it occurring.
[^elfish]: Actually, there's not a great way to tell if it's ELF, so I've approximated it.
This is pretty ad-hoc and hacky! We probably should have a firmer set of guarantees here, but this change should relax the pressure on coming up with that considerably, returning it to previous levels.

This commit
- changes names to use di_node instead of metadata
- uniformly names all functions that build new debuginfo nodes build_xyz_di_node
- renames CrateDebugContext to CodegenUnitDebugContext (which is more accurate)
- moves TypeMap and functions that work directly work with it to a new type_map module
- moves and reimplements enum related builder functions to a new enums module
- splits enum debuginfo building for the native and cpp-like cases, since they are mostly separate
- uses SmallVec instead of Vec in many places
- removes the old infrastructure for dealing with recursion cycles (create_and_register_recursive_type_forward_declaration(), RecursiveTypeDescription, set_members_of_composite_type(), MemberDescription, MemberDescriptionFactory, prepare_xyz_metadata(), etc)
- adds type_map::build_type_with_children() as a replacement for dealing with recursion cycles
- adds many (doc-)comments explaining what's going on
- changes cpp-like naming for C-Style enums so they don't get a enum$<...> name (because the NatVis visualizer does not apply to them)
- fixes detection of what is a C-style enum because some enums where classified as C-style even though they have fields
- changes the position of discriminant debuginfo node so it is consistently nested inside the top-level union instead of, sometimes, next to it
Currently some `Allocation`s are interned, some are not, and it's very
hard to tell at a use point which is which.
This commit introduces `ConstAllocation` for the known-interned ones,
which makes the division much clearer. `ConstAllocation::inner()` is
used to get the underlying `Allocation`.
In some places it's natural to use an `Allocation`, in some it's natural
to use a `ConstAllocation`, and in some places there's no clear choice.
I've tried to make things look as nice as possible, while generally
favouring `ConstAllocation`, which is the type that embodies more
information. This does require quite a few calls to `inner()`.
The commit also tweaks how `PartialOrd` works for `Interned`. The
previous code was too clever by half, building on `T: Ord` to make the
code shorter. That caused problems with deriving `PartialOrd` and `Ord`
for `ConstAllocation`, so I changed it to build on `T: PartialOrd`,
which is slightly more verbose but much more standard and avoided the
problems.
Use undef for (some) partially-uninit constants
There needs to be some limit to avoid perf regressions on large arrays
with undef in each element (see comment in the code).

The #[used] attribute explicitly only requires symbols to be
retained in object files, but allows the linker to drop them
if dead. This corresponds to llvm.compiler.used semantics.
The motivation to change this *now* is that https://reviews.llvm.org/D97448
starts emitting #[used] symbols into unique sections with
SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag. This triggers a bug in some version of gold,
resulting in the ARGV_INIT_ARRAY symbol part of the .init_array
section to be incorrectly placed.
This resolves all the problems we had around "normalizing" the representation of a Scalar in case it carries a Pointer value: we can just use Pointer if we want to have a value taht we are sure is already normalized.
