Prepend temp files with per-invocation random string to avoid temp filename conflicts
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/139407 uncovered a very subtle unsoundness with incremental codegen, failing compilation sessions (due to assembler errors), and the "prefer hard linking over copying files" strategy we use in the compiler for file management.
Specifically, imagine we're building a single file 3 times, all with `-Csave-temps -Cincremental=...`. Let's call the object file we're building for the codegen unit for `main` "`XXX.o`" just for clarity since it's probably some gigantic hash name:
```
#[inline(never)]
#[cfg(any(rpass1, rpass3))]
fn a() -> i32 {
0
}
#[cfg(any(cfail2))]
fn a() -> i32 {
1
}
fn main() {
evil::evil();
assert_eq!(a(), 0);
}
mod evil {
#[cfg(any(rpass1, rpass3))]
pub fn evil() {
unsafe {
std::arch::asm!("/* */");
}
}
#[cfg(any(cfail2))]
pub fn evil() {
unsafe {
std::arch::asm!("missing");
}
}
}
```
Session 1 (`rpass1`):
* Type-check, borrow-check, etc.
* Serialize the dep graph to the incremental working directory `.../s-...-working/`.
* Codegen object file to a temp file `XXX.rcgu.o` which is spit out in the cwd.
* Hard-link[^1] `XXX.rcgu.o` to the incremental working directory `.../s-...-working/XXX.o`.
* Save-temps option means we don't delete `XXX.rgcu.o`.
* Link the binary and stuff.
* Finalize[^2] the working incremental session by renaming `.../s-...-working` to ` s-...-asjkdhsjakd` (some other finalized incr comp session dir name).
Session 2 (`cfail2`):
* Load artifacts from the previous *finalized* incremental session, namely the dep graph.
* Type-check, borrow-check, etc. since the file has changed, so most dep graph nodes are red.
* Serialize the dep graph to the incremental working directory `.../s-...-working/`.
* Codegen object file to a temp file `XXX.rcgu.o`. **HERE IS THE PROBLEM**: The hard-link is still set up to point to the inode from `XXX.o` from the first session, so this also modifies the `XXX.o` in the previous finalized session directory.
* Codegen emits an error b/c `missing` is not an instruction, so we abort before finalizing the incremental session. Specifically, this means that the *previous* session is the last finalized session.
Session 3 (`rpass3`):
* Load artifacts from the previous *finalized* incremental session, namely the dep graph. NOTE that this is from session 1.
* All the dep graph nodes are green since we are basically replaying session 1.
* codegen object file `XXX.o`, which is detected as *reused* from session 1 since dep nodes were green. That means we **reuse** `XXX.o` which had been dirtied from session 2.
* Link the binary and stuff.
This results in a binary which reuses some of the build artifacts from session 2, but thinks it's from session 1.
At this point, I hope it's clear to see that the incremental results from session 1 were dirtied from session 2, but we reuse them as if session 1 was the previous (finalized) incremental session we ran. This is at best really buggy, and at worst **unsound**.
This isn't limited to `-C save-temps`, since there are other combinations of flags that may keep around temporary files (hard linked) in the working directory (like `-C debuginfo=1 -C split-debuginfo=unpacked` on darwin, for example).

This PR implements a fix which is to prepend temp filenames with a random string that is generated per invocation of rustc. This string is not *deterministic*, but temporary files are transient anyways, so I don't believe this is a problem.
That means that temp files are now something like... `{crate-name}.{cgu}.{invocation_temp}.rcgu.o`, where `{invocation_temp}` is the new temporary string we generate per invocation of rustc.

Show files produced by `--emit foo` in json artifact notifications
Right now it is possible to ask `rustc` to save some intermediate representation into one or more files with `--emit=foo`, but figuring out what exactly was produced is difficult. This pull request adds information about `llvm_ir` and `asm` intermediate files into notifications produced by `--json=artifacts`.
Related discussion: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/easier-access-to-files-generated-by-emit-foo/20477
Motivation - `cargo-show-asm` parses those intermediate files and presents them in a user friendly way, but right now I have to apply some dirty hacks. Hacks make behavior confusing: https://github.com/hintron/computer-enhance/issues/35
This pull request introduces a new behavior: now `rustc` will emit a new artifact notification for every artifact type user asked to `--emit`, for example for `--emit asm` those will include all the `.s` files.
Most users won't notice this behavior, to be affected by it all of the following must hold:
- user must use `rustc` binary directly (when `cargo` invokes `rustc` - it consumes artifact notifications and doesn't emit anything)
- user must specify both `--emit xxx` and `--json artifacts`
- user must refuse to handle unknown artifact types
- user must disable incremental compilation (or deal with it better than cargo does, or use a workaround like `save-temps`) in order not to hit #88829 / #89149
Typical uses of ThinLTO don't have any use for this as a standalone
file, but distributed ThinLTO uses this to make the linker phase more
efficient. With clang you'd do something like `clang -flto=thin
-fthin-link-bitcode=foo.indexing.o -c foo.c` and then get both foo.o
(full of bitcode) and foo.indexing.o (just the summary or index part of
the bitcode). That's then usable by a two-stage linking process that's
more friendly to distributed build systems like bazel, which is why I'm
working on this area.
I talked some to @teresajohnson about naming in this area, as things
seem to be a little confused between various blog posts and build
systems. "bitcode index" and "bitcode summary" tend to be a little too
ambiguous, and she tends to use "thin link bitcode" and "minimized
bitcode" (which matches the descriptions in LLVM). Since the clang
option is thin-link-bitcode, I went with that to try and not add a new
spelling in the world.
Per @dtolnay, you can work around the lack of this by using `lld
--thinlto-index-only` to do the indexing on regular .o files of
bitcode, but that is a bit wasteful on actions when we already have all
the information in rustc and could just write out the matching minimized
bitcode. I didn't test that at all in our infrastructure, because by the
time I learned that I already had this patch largely written.
Currently a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` can be created from any type that
impls `Into<String>`. That includes `&str`, `String`, and `Cow<'static,
str>`, which are reasonable. It also includes `&String`, which is pretty
weird, and results in many places making unnecessary allocations for
patterns like this:
```
self.fatal(&format!(...))
```
This creates a string with `format!`, takes a reference, passes the
reference to `fatal`, which does an `into()`, which clones the
reference, doing a second allocation. Two allocations for a single
string, bleh.
This commit changes the `From` impls so that you can only create a
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` from `&str`, `String`, or `Cow<'static,
str>`. This requires changing all the places that currently create one
from a `&String`. Most of these are of the `&format!(...)` form
described above; each one removes an unnecessary static `&`, plus an
allocation when executed. There are also a few places where the existing
use of `&String` was more reasonable; these now just use `clone()` at
the call site.
As well as making the code nicer and more efficient, this is a step
towards possibly using `Cow<'static, str>` in
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}`. That would require changing
the `From<&'a str>` impls to `From<&'static str>`, which is doable, but
I'm not yet sure if it's worthwhile.
Cache DWARF objects alongside object files in work products when those
exist so that DWARF object files are available for thorin in packed mode
in incremental scenarios.
