The new target is wasm32-experimental-emscripten. Adds a new
configuration option to opt in to building experimental LLVM backends
such as the WebAssembly backend. The target name was chosen to be
similar to the existing wasm32-unknown-emscripten target so that the
build and tests would work with minimal other code changes. When/if the
new target replaces the old target, simply renaming it should just work.
LLVM 4.0 Upgrade
Since nobody has done this yet, I decided to get things started:
**Todo:**
* [x] push the relevant commits to `rust-lang/llvm` and `rust-lang/compiler-rt`
* [x] cleanup `.gitmodules`
* [x] Verify if there are any other commits from `rust-lang/llvm` which need backporting
* [x] Investigate / fix debuginfo ("`<optimized out>`") failures
* [x] Use correct emscripten version in docker image

Closes#37609.

**Test results:**
Everything is green 🎉
- `--emit=asm --target=nvptx64-nvidia-cuda` can be used to turn a crate
into a PTX module (a `.s` file).
- intrinsics like `__syncthreads` and `blockIdx.x` are exposed as
`"platform-intrinsics"`.
- "cabi" has been implemented for the nvptx and nvptx64 architectures.
i.e. `extern "C"` works.
- a new ABI, `"ptx-kernel"`. That can be used to generate "global"
functions. Example: `extern "ptx-kernel" fn kernel() { .. }`. All
other functions are "device" functions.
initial SPARC support
### UPDATE
Can now compile `no_std` executables with:
```
$ cargo new --bin app && cd $_
$ edit Cargo.toml && tail -n2 $_
[dependencies]
core = { path = "/path/to/rust/src/libcore" }
$ edit src/main.rs && cat $_
#![feature(lang_items)]
#![no_std]
#![no_main]
#[no_mangle]
pub fn _start() -> ! {
loop {}
}
#[lang = "panic_fmt"]
fn panic_fmt() -> ! {
loop {}
}
$ edit sparc-none-elf.json && cat $_

Someone wants to attempt launching some Rust [into space](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5h76oa/c_interop/) but their platform is based on the SPARCv8 architecture. Let's not block them by enabling LLVM's SPARC backend.
Something very important that they'll also need is the "cabi" stuff as they'll be embedding some Rust code into a bigger C application (i.e. heavy use of `extern "C"`). The question there is what name(s) should we use for "target_arch" as the "cabi" implementation [varies according to that parameter](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/1.13.0/src/librustc_trans/abi.rs#L498-L523).
AFAICT, SPARCv8 is a 32-bit architecture and SPARCv9 is a 64-bit architecture. And, LLVM uses `sparc`, `sparcv9` and `sparcel` for [the architecture triple](ac1c94226e/include/llvm/ADT/Triple.h (L67-L69)) so perhaps we should use `target_arch = "sparc"` (32-bit) and `target_arch = "sparcv9"` (64-bit) as well.
r? @alexcrichton This PR only enables this LLVM backend when rustbuild is used. Do I also need to implement this for the old Makefile-based build system? Or are all our nightlies now being generated using rustbuild?

stdc++ is from base, and is an old library (GCC 4.2)
estdc++ is from ports, and is a recent library (GCC 4.9 currently)
as LLVM requires the newer version, use it if under OpenBSD.
[LLVM 4.0] Use llvm::Attribute APIs instead of "raw value" APIs
The latter will be removed in LLVM 4.0 (see 4a6fc8bacf).
The librustc_llvm API remains mostly unchanged, except that llvm::Attribute is no longer a bitflag but represents only a *single* attribute.
The ability to store many attributes in a small number of bits and modify them without interacting with LLVM is only used in rustc_trans::abi and closely related modules, and only attributes for function arguments are considered there.
Thus rustc_trans::abi now has its own bit-packed representation of argument attributes, which are translated to rustc_llvm::Attribute when applying the attributes.
cc #37609
There are now four static/shared scenarios that can happen for the
supported LLVM versions:
- 3.9+: By default use `llvm-config --link-static`
- 3.9+ and `--enable-llvm-link-shared`: Use `--link-shared` instead.
- 3.8: Use `llvm-config --shared-mode` and go with its answer.
- 3.7: Just assume static, maintaining the status quo.
The makefiles and `mklldeps.py` called `llvm-config --shared-mode` to
find out if LLVM defaulted to shared or static libraries, and just went
with that. But under rustbuild, `librustc_llvm/build.rs` was assuming
that LLVM should be static, and even forcing `--link-static` for 3.9+.
Now that build script also uses `--shared-mode` to learn the default,
which should work better for pre-3.9 configured for dynamic linking, as
it wasn't possible back then to choose differently via `llvm-config`.
Further, the configure script now has a new `--enable-llvm-link-shared`
option, which allows one to manually override `--link-shared` on 3.9+
instead of forcing static.
to let people experiment with this target out of tree.
The MSP430 architecture is used in 16-bit microcontrollers commonly used
in Digital Signal Processing applications.
A new target, `s390x-unknown-linux-gnu`, has been added to the compiler
and can be used to build no_core/no_std Rust programs.
Known limitations:
- librustc_trans/cabi_s390x.rs is missing. This means no support for
`extern "C" fn`.
- No support for this arch in libc. This means std can be cross compiled
for this target.
This is a spiritual succesor to #34268/8531d581, in which we replaced a
number of matches of None to the unit value with `if let` conditionals
where it was judged that this made for clearer/simpler code (as would be
recommended by Manishearth/rust-clippy's `single_match` lint). The same
rationale applies to matches of None to the empty block.
Unfortunately on i686-pc-windows-gnu LLVM's answer to `--host-target` is
`x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` even though we're building in a 32-bit shell as well as
compiling 32-bit libraries. For now use Cargo's `HOST` environment variable to
determine whether we're doing a cross compilation or not.
Currently all multi-host builds assume the the build platform can run the
`llvm-config` binary generated for each host platform we're creating a compiler
for. Unfortunately this assumption isn't always true when cross compiling, so we
need to handle this case.
This commit alters the build script of `rustc_llvm` to understand when it's
running an `llvm-config` which is different than the platform we're targeting for.
Have all Cargo-built crates pass `--cfg cargobuild` and then add appropriate
`#[cfg]` definitions to all crates to avoid linking anything if this is passed.
This should help allow libstd to compile with both the makefiles and with Cargo.
This commits adds build scripts to the necessary Rust crates for all the native
dependencies. This is currently a duplication of the support found in mk/rt.mk
and is my best effort at representing the logic twice, but there may be some
unfortunate-and-inevitable divergence.
As a summary:
* alloc_jemalloc - build script to compile jemallocal
* flate - build script to compile miniz.c
* rustc_llvm - build script to run llvm-config and learn about how to link it.
Note that this crucially (and will not ever) compile LLVM as that would take
far too long.
* rustdoc - build script to compile hoedown
* std - script to determine lots of libraries/linkages as well as compile
