raw pointer metadata API: data address -> data pointer
A pointer consists of [more than just an address](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3559), so let's not equate "pointer" and "address" in these docs.
Rename `pointer` field on `Pin`
A few days ago, I was helping another user create a self-referential type using `PhantomPinned`. However, I noticed an odd behavior when I tried to access one of the type's fields via `Pin`'s `Deref` impl:
```rust
use std::{marker::PhantomPinned, ptr};
struct Pinned {
data: i32,
pointer: *const i32,
_pin: PhantomPinned,
}
fn main() {
let mut b = Box::pin(Pinned {
data: 42,
pointer: ptr::null(),
_pin: PhantomPinned,
});
{
let pinned = unsafe { b.as_mut().get_unchecked_mut() };
pinned.pointer = &pinned.data;
}
println!("{}", unsafe { *b.pointer });
}
```
```rust
error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature 'unsafe_pin_internals'
--> <source>:19:30
|
19 | println!("{}", unsafe { *b.pointer });
| ^^^^^^^^^
error[E0277]: `Pinned` doesn't implement `std::fmt::Display`
--> <source>:19:20
|
19 | println!("{}", unsafe { *b.pointer });
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `Pinned` cannot be formatted with the default formatter
|
= help: the trait `std::fmt::Display` is not implemented for `Pinned`
= note: in format strings you may be able to use `{:?}` (or {:#?} for pretty-print) instead
= note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::format_args_nl` which comes from the expansion of the macro `println` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
```
Since the user named their field `pointer`, it conflicts with the `pointer` field on `Pin`, which is public but unstable since Rust 1.60.0 with #93176. On versions from 1.33.0 to 1.59.0, where the field on `Pin` is private, this program compiles and prints `42` as expected.
To avoid this confusing behavior, this PR renames `pointer` to `__pointer`, so that it's less likely to conflict with a `pointer` field on the underlying type, as accessed through the `Deref` impl. This is technically a breaking change for anyone who names their field `__pointer` on the inner type; if this is undesirable, it could be renamed to something more longwinded. It's also a nightly breaking change for any external users of `unsafe_pin_internals`.
Use an interpreter in MIR jump threading
This allows to understand assignments of aggregate constants. This case appears more frequently with GVN promoting aggregates to constants.
The internal, unstable field of `Pin` can conflict with fields from the
inner type accessed via the `Deref` impl. Rename it from `pointer` to
`__pointer`, to make it less likely to conflict with anything else.
Sandwich MIR optimizations between DSE.
This PR reorders MIR optimization passes in an attempt to increase their efficiency.
- Stop running CopyProp before GVN, it's useless as GVN will do the same thing anyway. Instead, we perform CopyProp at the end of the pipeline, to ensure we do not emit copy/move chains.
- Run DSE before GVN, as it increases the probability to have single-assignment locals.
- Run DSE after the final CopyProp to turn copies into moves.

Avoid some redundant work in GVN
The first 2 commits are about reducing the perf effect.
Third commit avoids doing redundant work: is a local is SSA, it already has been simplified, and the resulting value is in `self.locals`. No need to call any code on it.
The last commit avoids removing some storage statements.

coverage: Add enums to accommodate other kinds of coverage mappings
Extracted from #118305.
LLVM supports several different kinds of coverage mapping regions, but currently we only ever emit ordinary “code” regions. This PR performs the plumbing required to add other kinds of regions as enum variants, but does not add any specific variants other than `Code`.
The main motivation for this change is branch coverage, but it will also allow separate experimentation with gap regions and skipped regions, which might help in producing more accurate and useful coverage reports.

Reorder early post-inlining passes.
`RemoveZsts`, `RemoveUnneededDrops` and `UninhabitedEnumBranching` only depend on types, so they should be executed together early after MIR inlining introduces those types.
This does not change the end-result, but this makes the pipeline a bit more consistent.
Merge dead bb pruning and unreachable bb deduplication.
Both routines share the same basic structure: iterate on all bbs to identify work, and then renumber bbs.
We can do both at once.
