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.
Let the knight slay one head of the two-headed dragon!
Filed #122758 to track a proper fix, but this seems to solve the
problem in the meantime and is probably OK in terms of impact on
(internal) doc quality.
Make `FatalErrorMarker` lower priority than other panics
This makes `FatalErrorMarker` lower priority than other panics in a parallel sections. If any other panics occur, they will be unwound instead of `FatalErrorMarker`. This ensures `rustc` will exit with the correct error code on ICEs.
This fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/116659.
Extract parallel operations in `rustc_data_structures::sync` into a new `parallel` submodule
This extracts parallel operations in `rustc_data_structures::sync` into a new `parallel` submodule. This cuts down on the size of the large `cfg_if!` in `sync` and makes it easier to compare between serial and parallel variants.
Add optimized lock methods for `Sharded` and refactor `Lock`
This adds methods to `Sharded` which pick a shard and also locks it. These branch on parallelism just once instead of twice, improving performance.

Move the WorkerLocal type from the rustc-rayon fork into rustc_data_structures
This PR moves the definition of the `WorkerLocal` type from `rustc-rayon` into `rustc_data_structures`. This is enabled by the introduction of the `Registry` type which allows you to group up threads to be used by `WorkerLocal` which is basically just an array with an per thread index. The `Registry` type mirrors the one in Rayon and each Rayon worker thread is also registered with the new `Registry`. Safety for `WorkerLocal` is ensured by having it keep a reference to the registry and checking on each access that we're still on the group of threads associated with the registry used to construct it.
Accessing a `WorkerLocal` is micro-optimized due to it being hot since it's used for most arena allocations.
Performance is slightly improved for the parallel compiler:
