Get rid of HIR const checker
As far as I can tell, the HIR const checker was implemented in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/66170 because we were not able to issue useful const error messages in the MIR const checker.
This seems to have changed in the last 5 years, probably due to work like #90532. I've tweaked the diagnostics slightly and think the error messages have gotten *better* in fact.
Thus I think the HIR const checker has reached the end of its usefulness, and we can retire it.

I was surprised to find that running with `-Zparse-only` only parses the
crate root file. Other files aren't parsed because that happens later
during expansion.
This commit renames the option and updates the help message to make this
clearer.
Some more refactorings towards removing driver queries
Follow up to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/127184
## Custom driver breaking change
The `after_analysis` callback is changed to accept `TyCtxt` instead of `Queries`. The only safe query in `Queries` to call at this point is `global_ctxt()` which allows you to enter the `TyCtxt` either way. To fix your custom driver, replace the `queries: &'tcx Queries<'tcx>` argument with `tcx: TyCtxt<'tcx>` and remove your `queries.global_ctxt().unwrap().enter(|tcx| { ... })` call and only keep the contents of the closure.
## Custom driver deprecation
The `after_crate_root_parsing` callback is now deprecated. Several custom drivers are incorrectly calling `queries.global_ctxt()` from inside of it, which causes some driver code to be skipped. As such I would like to either remove it in the future or if custom drivers still need it, change it to accept an `&rustc_ast::Crate` instead.
Merge `-Zhir-stats` into `-Zinput-stats`
Currently `-Z hir-stats` prints the size and count of various kinds of nodes, and the total size of all the nodes it counted, but not the total count of nodes. So, before this PR:
```

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to update `tests/ui/stats/hir-stats.stderr` to reflect this. I ran it locally, thinking it would fail, but it didn't:
```
$ ./x test tests/ui/stats
...
running 2 tests
i.
test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 1 ignored; 0 measured; 17949 filtered out
```
Also: is there a reason `-Z hir-stats` and `-Z input-stats` both exist? The former seems like it should completely supercede the latter. But strangely, the two give very different numbers for node counts:
```
$ cargo +nightly rustc -- -Z input-stats
...
Lines of code: 483
Pre-expansion node count: 2386
Post-expansion node count: 63844
```
That's a 30% difference in this case. Is it intentional that these numbers are so different? I see comments for both saying that they are merely approximations and should not be expected to be correct:
bd0826a452/compiler/rustc_ast_passes/src/node_count.rs (L1)bd0826a452/compiler/rustc_passes/src/hir_stats.rs (L1-L3)
Over in Zed we've noticed that loading crates for a large-ish workspace can take almost 200ms. We've pinned it down to how rustc searches for paths, as it performs a linear search over the list of candidate paths. In our case the candidate list had about 20k entries which we had to iterate over for each dependency being loaded.
This commit introduces a simple FilesIndex that's just a sorted Vec under the hood. Since crates are looked up by both prefix and suffix, we perform a range search on said Vec (which constraints the search space based on prefix) and follow up with a linear scan of entries with matching suffixes.
FilesIndex is also pre-filtered before any queries are performed using available target information; query prefixes/sufixes are based on the target we are compiling for, so we can remove entries that can never match up front.
Overall, this commit brings down build time for us in dev scenarios by about 6%.
100ms might not seem like much, but this is a constant cost that each of our workspace crates has to pay, even when said crate is miniscule.
Delete the `cfg(not(parallel))` serial compiler
Since it's inception a long time ago, the parallel compiler and its cfgs have been a maintenance burden. This was a necessary evil the allow iteration while not degrading performance because of synchronization overhead.
But this time is over. Thanks to the amazing work by the parallel working group (and the dyn sync crimes), the parallel compiler has now been fast enough to be shipped by default in nightly for quite a while now.
Stable and beta have still been on the serial compiler, because they can't use `-Zthreads` anyways.
But this is quite suboptimal:
- the maintenance burden still sucks
- we're not testing the serial compiler in nightly
Because of these reasons, it's time to end it. The serial compiler has served us well in the years since it was split from the parallel one, but it's over now.

Don't call closure_by_move_body_def_id on FnOnce async closures in MIR validation
Refactors the check in #129847 to not unncessarily call the `closure_by_move_body_def_id` query for async closures that don't *need* a by-move body.
Fixes#130167
This flag allows specifying the threshold size above which LLVM should
not consider placing small objects in a .sdata or .sbss section.
Support is indicated in the target options via the
small-data-threshold-support target option, which can indicate either an
LLVM argument or an LLVM module flag. To avoid duplicate specifications
in a large number of targets, the default value for support is
DefaultForArch, which is translated to a concrete value according to the
target's architecture.
We want to allow setting this on the CLI, override it only in MIR
passes, and disable it altogether in mir-opt tests.
The default value is "only for NLL MIR dumps", which is considered off
for all intents and purposes, except for `rustc_borrowck` when an NLL
MIR dump is requested.
Stop storing a special inner body for the coroutine by-move body for async closures
...and instead, just synthesize an item which is treated mostly normally by the MIR pipeline.
This PR does a few things:
* We synthesize a new `DefId` for the by-move body of a closure, which has its `mir_built` fed with the output of the `ByMoveBody` MIR transformation, and some other relevant queries.
* This has the `DefKind::ByMoveBody`, which we use to distinguish it from "real" bodies (that come from HIR) which need to be borrowck'd. Introduce `TyCtxt::is_synthetic_mir` to skip over `mir_borrowck` which is called by `mir_promoted`; borrowck isn't really possible to make work ATM since it heavily relies being called on a body generated from HIR, and is redundant by the construction of the by-move-body.
* Remove the special `PassManager` hacks for handling the inner `by_move_body` stored within the coroutine's mir body. Instead, this body is fed like a regular MIR body, so it's goes through all of the `tcx.*_mir` stages normally (build -> promoted -> ...etc... -> optimized) ✨.
* Remove the `InstanceKind::ByMoveBody` shim, since now we have a "regular" def id, we can just use `InstanceKind::Item`. This also allows us to remove the corresponding hacks from codegen, such as in `fn_sig_for_fn_abi` ✨.
Notable remarks:
* ~~I know it's kind of weird to be using `DefKind::Closure` here, since it's not a distinct closure but just a new MIR body. I don't believe it really matters, but I could also use a different `DefKind`... maybe one that we could use for synthetic MIR bodies in general?~~ edit: We're doing this now.
Add comment that bors did not see pushed before it merged

More unsafe attr verification
This code denies unsafe on attributes such as `#[test]` and `#[ignore]`, while also changing the `MetaItem` parsing so `unsafe` in args like `#[allow(unsafe(dead_code))]` is not accidentally allowed.
Tracking:
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/123757
This makes it possible for the `unsafe(...)` syntax to only be
valid at the top level, and the `NestedMetaItem`s will automatically
reject `unsafe(...)`.

Ignore allocation bytes in some mir-opt tests

Various refactorings to rustc_interface
This should make it easier to move the driver interface away from queries in the future. Many custom drivers call queries like `queries.global_ctxt()` before they are supposed to be called, breaking some things like certain `--print` and `-Zunpretty` options, `-Zparse-only` and emitting the dep info at the wrong point in time. They are also not actually necessary at all. Passing around the query output manually would avoid recomputation too and would be just as easy. Removing driver queries would also reduce the amount of global mutable state of the compiler. I'm not removing driver queries in this PR to avoid breaking the aforementioned custom drivers.
Before if the closure passed to run_compiler emitted an error without
calling abort_if_errors and no diagnostics have been stashed,
run_compiler would return normally as if no error had occured.
Replace all `&DiagCtxt` with a `DiagCtxtHandle<'_>` wrapper type
r? `@davidtwco`
This paves the way for tracking more state (e.g. error tainting) in the diagnostic context handle
Basically I will add a field to the `DiagCtxtHandle` that refers back to the `InferCtxt`'s (and others) `Option<ErrorHandled>`, allowing us to immediately taint these contexts when emitting an error and not needing manual tainting anymore (which is easy to forget and we don't do in general anyway)
coverage: Add debugging flag `-Zcoverage-options=no-mir-spans`
When set, this flag skips the code that normally extracts coverage spans from MIR statements and terminators. That sometimes makes it easier to debug branch coverage and MC/DC coverage instrumentation, because the coverage output is less noisy.
For internal debugging only. If future code changes would make it hard to keep supporting this flag, it should be removed at that time.
`@rustbot` label +A-code-coverage
When set, this flag skips the code that normally extracts coverage spans from
MIR statements and terminators. That sometimes makes it easier to debug branch
coverage and MC/DC coverage, because the coverage output is less noisy.
For internal debugging only. If other code changes would make it hard to keep
supporting this flag, remove it.
We already do this for a number of crates, e.g. `rustc_middle`,
`rustc_span`, `rustc_metadata`, `rustc_span`, `rustc_errors`.
For the ones we don't, in many cases the attributes are a mess.
- There is no consistency about order of attribute kinds (e.g.
`allow`/`deny`/`feature`).
- Within attribute kind groups (e.g. the `feature` attributes),
sometimes the order is alphabetical, and sometimes there is no
particular order.
- Sometimes the attributes of a particular kind aren't even grouped
all together, e.g. there might be a `feature`, then an `allow`, then
another `feature`.
This commit extends the existing sorting to all compiler crates,
increasing consistency. If any new attribute line is added there is now
only one place it can go -- no need for arbitrary decisions.
Exceptions:
- `rustc_log`, `rustc_next_trait_solver` and `rustc_type_ir_macros`,
because they have no crate attributes.
- `rustc_codegen_gcc`, because it's quasi-external to rustc (e.g. it's
ignored in `rustfmt.toml`).
Currently we have an awkward mix of fallible and infallible functions:
```
new_parser_from_source_str
maybe_new_parser_from_source_str
new_parser_from_file
(maybe_new_parser_from_file) // missing
(new_parser_from_source_file) // missing
maybe_new_parser_from_source_file
source_str_to_stream
maybe_source_file_to_stream
```
We could add the two missing functions, but instead this commit removes
of all the infallible ones and renames the fallible ones leaving us with
these which are all fallible:
```
new_parser_from_source_str
new_parser_from_file
new_parser_from_source_file
source_str_to_stream
source_file_to_stream
```
This requires making `unwrap_or_emit_fatal` public so callers of
formerly infallible functions can still work.
This does make some of the call sites slightly more verbose, but I think
it's worth it for the simpler API. Also, there are two `catch_unwind`
calls and one `catch_fatal_errors` call in this diff that become
removable thanks this change. (I will do that in a follow-up PR.)
`-Z debug-macros` is "stabilized" by enabling it by default and removing.
`-Z collapse-macro-debuginfo` is stabilized as `-C collapse-macro-debuginfo`.
It now supports all typical boolean values (`parse_opt_bool`) in addition to just yes/no.
Default value of `collapse_debuginfo` was changed from `false` to `external` (i.e. collapsed if external, not collapsed if local).
`#[collapse_debuginfo]` attribute without a value is no longer supported to avoid guessing the default.
Enable `CrateNum` query feeding via `TyCtxt`
Instead of having a magic function that violates some `TyCtxtFeed` invariants, add a `create_def` equivalent for `CrateNum`s.
Note that this still isn't tracked by the query system (unlike `create_def`), and that feeding most `CrateNum` queries for crates other than the local one will likely cause performance regressions.
These things should be attempted on their own separately, but this PR should stand on its own
Do `check_coroutine_obligations` once per typeck root
We only need to do `check_coroutine_obligations` once per typeck root, especially since the new solver can't really (easily) associate which obligations correspond to which coroutines.
This requires us to move the checks for sized coroutine fields into `mir_coroutine_witnesses`, but that's fine imo.

Implement Modified Condition/Decision Coverage
This is an implementation based on llvm backend support (>= 18) by `@evodius96` and branch coverage support by `@Zalathar.`
### Major changes:
* Add -Zcoverage-options=mcdc as switch. Now coverage options accept either `no-branch`, `branch`, or `mcdc`. `mcdc` also enables `branch` because it is essential to work.
* Add coverage mapping for MCDCBranch and MCDCDecision. Note that MCDCParameter evolves from llvm 18 to llvm 19. The mapping in rust side mainly references to 19 and is casted to 18 types in llvm wrapper.
* Add wrapper for mcdc instrinc functions from llvm. And inject associated statements to mir.
* Add BcbMappingKind::Decision, I'm not sure is it proper but can't find a better way temporarily.
* Let coverage-dump support parsing MCDCBranch and MCDCDecision from llvm ir.
* Add simple tests to check whether mcdc works.
* Same as clang, currently rustc does not generate instrument for decision with more than 6 condtions or only 1 condition due to considerations of resource.
### Implementation Details
1. To get information about conditions and decisions, `MCDCState` in `BranchInfoBuilder` is used during hir lowering to mir. For expressions with logical op we call `Builder::visit_coverage_branch_operation` to record its sub conditions, generate condition ids for them and save their spans (to construct the span of whole decision). This process mainly references to the implementation in clang and is described in comments over `MCDCState::record_conditions`. Also true marks and false marks introduced by branch coverage are used to detect where the decision evaluation ends: the next id of the condition == 0.
2. Once the `MCDCState::decision_stack` popped all recorded conditions, we can ensure that the decision is checked over and push it into `decision_spans`. We do not manually insert decision span to avoid complexity from then_else_break in nested if scopes.
3. When constructing CoverageSpans, add condition info to BcbMappingKind::Branch and decision info to BcbMappingKind::Decision. If the branch mapping has non-zero condition id it will be transformed to MCDCBranch mapping and insert `CondBitmapUpdate` statements to its evaluated blocks. While decision bcb mapping will insert `TestVectorBitmapUpdate` in all its end blocks.
### Usage
```bash
echo "[build]\nprofiler=true" >> config.toml
./x build --stage 1
./x test tests/coverage/mcdc_if.rs
```
to build the compiler and run tests.
```shell
export PATH=path/to/llvm-build:$PATH
rustup toolchain link mcdc build/host/stage1
cargo +mcdc rustc --bin foo -- -Cinstrument-coverage -Zcoverage-options=mcdc
cd target/debug
LLVM_PROFILE_FILE="foo.profraw" ./foo
llvm-profdata merge -sparse foo.profraw -o foo.profdata
llvm-cov show ./foo -instr-profile=foo.profdata --show-mcdc
```
to check "foo" code.
### Problems to solve
For now decision mapping will insert statements to its all end blocks, which may be optimized by inserting a final block of the decision. To do this we must also trace the evaluated value at each end of the decision and join them separately.
This implementation is not heavily tested so there should be some unrevealed issues. We are going to check our rust products in the next. Please let me know if you had any suggestions or comments.
Introduce perma-unstable `wasm-c-abi` flag
Now that `wasm-bindgen` v0.2.88 supports the spec-compliant C ABI, the idea is to switch to that in a future version of Rust. In the meantime it would be good to let people test and play around with it.
This PR introduces a new perma-unstable `-Zwasm-c-abi` compiler flag, which switches to the new spec-compliant C ABI when targeting `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
Alternatively, we could also stabilize this and then deprecate it when we switch. I will leave this to the Rust maintainers to decide.
This is a companion PR to #117918, but they could be merged independently.

Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/122532
Currently it's a method on `EarlyDiagCtxt`, which is not the right place
for it at all -- `EarlyDiagCtxt` is used to issue diagnostics, but
shouldn't be doing any of the actual checking.
This commit moves it into a standalone function that takes an
`EarlyDiagCtxt` as an argument, which is more sensible. This does
require adding `EarlyDiagCtxt::early_struct_warn`, so a warning can be
returned and then modified with a note. (And that likely explains why
somebody put `initialize_checked_jobserver` into `EarlyDiagCtxt` in the
first place.)
Currently `SourceMap` is constructed slightly later than
`SessionGlobals`, and inserted. This commit changes things so they are
done at the same time.
Benefits:
- `SessionGlobals::source_map` changes from
`Lock<Option<Lrc<SourceMap>>>` to `Option<Lrc<SourceMap>>`. It's still
optional, but mutability isn't required because it's initialized at
construction.
- `set_source_map` is removed, simplifying `run_compiler`, which is
good because that's a critical function and it's nice to make it
simpler.
This requires moving things around a bit, so the necessary inputs are
available when `SessionGlobals` is created, in particular the `loader`
and `hash_kind`, which are no longer computed by `build_session`. These
inputs are captured by the new `SourceMapInputs` type, which is threaded
through various places.
conditionally ignore fatal diagnostic in the SilentEmitter
This change is primarily meant to allow rustfmt to ignore all diagnostics when using the `SilentEmitter`. Back in #121301 the `SilentEmitter` was shared between rustc and rustfmt. This changed rustfmt's behavior from ignoring all diagnostic to emitting fatal diagnostics, which lead to https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt/issues/6109.
These changes allow rustfmt to maintain its previous behaviour when using the `SilentEmitter`, while allowing rustc code to still emit fatal diagnostics.
Suggest `RUST_MIN_STACK` workaround on overflow
For some Rust crates, like p384, we can't do a whole lot about it even if the stack overflow is reported like in rust-lang/rust#122357 because the problem may be inside LLVM or another codegen backend. We can, however, suggest people set a new `RUST_MIN_STACK` value while handling the SIGSEGV, as that stack-setting will carry forward into the dylib.
As a bonus, this also leads to cleaning up the stack-setting code a bit.
Backend and target selection is a mess: the target can override the
backend (via `Target::default_codegen_backend`), *and* the backend can
override the target (via `CodegenBackend::target_override`).
The code that handles this is ugly. It calls `build_target_config`
twice, once before getting the backend and once again afterward. It also
must check that both overrides aren't triggering at the same time.
This commit removes the latter override. It's used in rust-gpu but
@eddyb said via Zulip that removing it would be ok. This simplifies the
code greatly, and will allow some nice follow-up refactorings.
This change is primarily meant to allow rustfmt to ignore all
diagnostics when using the `SilentEmitter`. Back in PR 121301 the

diagnostics.

coverage: Remove or migrate all unstable values of `-Cinstrument-coverage`
(This PR was substantially overhauled from its original version, which migrated all of the existing unstable values intact.)
This PR takes the three nightly-only values that are currently accepted by `-Cinstrument-coverage`, completely removes two of them (`except-unused-functions` and `except-unused-generics`), and migrates the third (`branch`) over to a newly-introduced unstable flag `-Zcoverage-options`.
I have a few motivations for wanting to do this:
- It's unclear whether anyone actually uses the `except-unused-*` values, so this serves as an opportunity to either remove them, or prompt existing users to object to their removal.
- After #117199, the stable values of `-Cinstrument-coverage` treat it as a boolean-valued flag, so having nightly-only extra values feels out-of-place.
- Nightly-only values also require extra ad-hoc code to make sure they aren't accidentally exposed to stable users.
- The new system allows multiple different settings to be toggled independently, which isn't possible in the current single-value system.
- The new system makes it easier to introduce new behaviour behind an unstable toggle, and then gather nightly-user feedback before possibly making it the default behaviour for all users.
- The new system also gives us a convenient place to put relatively-narrow options that won't ever be the default, but that nightly users might still want access to.
- It's likely that we will eventually want to give stable users more fine-grained control over coverage instrumentation. The new flag serves as a prototype of what that stable UI might eventually look like.
The `branch` option is a placeholder that currently does nothing. It will be used by #122322 to opt into branch coverage instrumentation.
---
I see `-Zcoverage-options` as something that will exist more-or-less indefinitely, though individual sub-options might come and go as appropriate. I think there will always be some demand for nightly-only toggles, so I don't see `-Zcoverage-options` itself ever being stable, though we might eventually stabilize something similar to it.

r? `@michaelwoerister`
This new nightly-only flag can be used to toggle fine-grained flags that
control the details of coverage instrumentation.
Currently the only supported flag value is `branch` (or `no-branch`), which is
a placeholder for upcoming support for branch coverage. Other flag values can
be added in the future, to prototype proposed new behaviour, or to enable
special non-default behaviour.
