The OS version depends on the deployment target environment variables,
the access of which we want to move to later in the compilation pipeline
that has access to more information, for example `env_depinfo`.
Rename `rustc_abi::Abi` to `BackendRepr`
Remove the confabulation of `rustc_abi::Abi` with what "ABI" actually means by renaming it to `BackendRepr`, and rename `Abi::Aggregate` to `BackendRepr::Memory`. The type never actually represented how things are passed, as that has to have `PassMode` considered, at minimum, but rather it just is how we represented some things to the backend. This conflation arose because LLVM, the primary backend at the time, would lower certain IR forms using certain ABIs. Even that only somewhat was true, as it broke down when one ventured significantly afield of what is described by the System V AMD64 ABI either by using different architectures, ABI-modifying IR annotations, the same architecture **with different ISA extensions enabled**, or other... unexpected delights.
Unfortunately both names are still somewhat of a misnomer right now, as people have written code for years based on this misunderstanding. Still, their original names are even moreso, and for better or worse, this backend code hasn't received as much maintenance as the rest of the compiler, lately. Actually arriving at a correct end-state will simply require us to disentangle a lot of code in order to fix, much of it pointlessly repeated in several places. Thus this is not an "actual fix", just a way to deflect further misunderstandings.
cg_llvm: Clean up FFI calls for operand bundles
All of these FFI functions have equivalents in the stable LLVM-C API, though `LLVMBuildCallBr` requires a temporary polyfill on LLVM 18.
This PR also creates a clear split between `OperandBundleOwned` and `OperandBundle`, and updates the internals of the owner to be a little less terrifying.
The initial naming of "Abi" was an awful mistake, conveying wrong ideas
about how psABIs worked and even more about what the enum meant.
It was only meant to represent the way the value would be described to
a codegen backend as it was lowered to that intermediate representation.
It was never meant to mean anything about the actual psABI handling!
The conflation is because LLVM typically will associate a certain form
with a certain ABI, but even that does not hold when the special cases
that actually exist arise, plus the IR annotations that modify the ABI.
Reframe `rustc_abi::Abi` as the `BackendRepr` of the type, and rename
`BackendRepr::Aggregate` as `BackendRepr::Memory`. Unfortunately, due to
the persistent misunderstandings, this too is now incorrect:
- Scattered ABI-relevant code is entangled with BackendRepr
- We do not always pre-compute a correct BackendRepr that reflects how
we "actually" want this value to be handled, so we leave the backend
interface to also inject various special-cases here
- In some cases `BackendRepr::Memory` is a "real" aggregate, but in
others it is in fact using memory, and in some cases it is a scalar!
Our rustc-to-backend lowering code handles this sort of thing right now.
That will eventually be addressed by lifting duplicated lowering code
to either rustc_codegen_ssa or rustc_target as appropriate.
cg_llvm: Clean up FFI calls for setting module flags
This is a combination of several inter-related changes to how module flags are set:
- Remove some unnecessary code for setting an `"LTOPostLink"` flag, which has been obsolete since LLVM 17.
- Define our own enum instead of relying on enum values defined by LLVM's unstable C++ API.
- Use safe wrapper functions to set module flags, instead of direct `unsafe` calls.
- Consistently pass pointer/length strings instead of C strings.
- Remove or shrink some `unsafe` blocks.
- Don't rely on enum values defined by LLVM's C++ API
- Use safe wrapper functions instead of direct `unsafe` calls
- Consistently pass pointer/length strings instead of C strings
correct LLVMRustCreateThinLTOData arg types
`LLVMRustCreateThinLTOData` defined in rust as
```rust
pub fn LLVMRustCreateThinLTOData(
Modules: *const ThinLTOModule,
NumModules: c_uint,
PreservedSymbols: *const *const c_char,
PreservedSymbolsLen: c_uint,
) -> Option<&'static mut ThinLTOData>;
```
but in cpp as
```cpp
extern "C" LLVMRustThinLTOData *
LLVMRustCreateThinLTOData(LLVMRustThinLTOModule *modules, int num_modules,
const char **preserved_symbols, int num_symbols) {
```
(note `c_unit` vs `int` types). Let it be actually `size_t`.
Also fixes return type of `LLVMRustDIBuilderCreateOpLLVMFragment` to uint64_t as other similar functions around, which should be correct, i assume.
cg_llvm: Use a type-safe helper to cast `&str` and `&[u8]` to `*const c_char`
In `rustc_codegen_llvm` there are many uses of `.as_ptr().cast()` to convert a string or byte-slice to `*const c_char`, which then gets passed through FFI.
This works, but is fragile, because there's nothing constraining the pointer cast to actually be from `u8` to `c_char`. If the original value changes to something else that has an `as_ptr` method, or the context changes to expect something other than `c_char`, the cast will silently do the wrong thing.
By making the cast more explicit via a helper method, we can be sure that it will either perform the intended cast, or fail at compile time.
Replace some LLVMRust wrappers with calls to the LLVM C API
This PR removes the LLVMRust wrapper functions for getting/setting linkage and visibility, and replaces them with direct calls to the corresponding functions in LLVM's C API.
To make this convenient and sound, two pieces of supporting code have also been added:
- A simple proc-macro that derives `TryFrom<u32>` for fieldless enums
- A wrapper type for C enum values returned by LLVM functions, to ensure soundness if LLVM returns an enum value we don't know about
In a few places, the use of safe wrapper functions means that an `unsafe` block is no longer needed, so the affected code has changed its indentation level.
rustc_target: Add pauth-lr aarch64 target feature
Add the pauth-lr target feature, corresponding to aarch64 FEAT_PAuth_LR. This feature has been added in LLVM 19.
It is currently not supported by the Linux hwcap and so we cannot add runtime feature detection for it at this time.

coverage: Consolidate creation of covmap/covfun records
This code for creating covmap/covfun records during codegen was split across multiple functions and files for dubious historical reasons. Having it all in one place makes it easier to follow.
This PR also includes two semi-related cleanups:
- Getting the codegen context's `coverage_cx` state is made infallible, since it should always exist when running the code paths that need it.
- The value of `covfun_section_name` is saved in the codegen context, since it never changes at runtime, and the code that needs it has access to the context anyway.
---
Background: Coverage instrumentation generates two kinds of metadata that are embedded in the final binary. There is per-CGU information that goes in the `__llvm_covmap` linker section, and per-function information that goes in the `__llvm_covfun` section (except on Windows, where slightly different section names are used).
- removed extra bits from predicates queries that are no longer needed in the new system
- removed the need for `non_erasable_generics` to take in tcx and DefId, removed unused arguments in callers
Adding an extra `OnceCell` to `CrateCoverageContext` is much nicer than trying
to thread this string through multiple layers of function calls that already
have access to the context.
coverage: Pass coverage mappings to LLVM as separate structs
Instead of trying to cram *N* different kinds of coverage mapping data into a single list for FFI, pass *N* different lists of simpler structs.
This avoids the need to fill unused fields with dummy values, and avoids the need to tag structs with their underlying kind. It also lets us call the dedicated LLVM constructors for each different mapping type, instead of having to go through the complex general-purpose constructor.
Even though this adds multiple new structs to the FFI surface area, the resulting C++ code is simpler and shorter.
---
I've structured this mostly as a single atomic patch, rather than a series of incremental changes, because that avoids the need to make fiddly fixes to code that is about to be deleted anyway.
Continue to get rid of `ty::Const::{try_}eval*`
This PR mostly does:
* Removes all of the `try_eval_*` and `eval_*` helpers from `ty::Const`, and replace their usages with `try_to_*`.
* Remove `ty::Const::eval`.
* Rename `ty::Const::normalize` to `ty::Const::normalize_internal`. This function is still used in the normalization code itself.
* Fix some weirdness around the `TransmuteFrom` goal.
I'm happy to split it out further; for example, I could probably land the first part which removes the helpers, or the changes to codegen which are more obvious than the changes to tools.

Migrate `llvm::set_comdat` and `llvm::SetUniqueComdat` to LLVM-C FFI.
Note, now we can call `llvm::set_comdat` only when the target actually
supports adding comdat. As this has no convenient LLVM-C API, we
implement this as `TargetOptions::supports_comdat`.

Add the pauth-lr target feature, corresponding to aarch64 FEAT_PAuth_LR.
This feature has been added in LLVM 19.
It is currently not supported by the Linux hwcap and so we cannot add
runtime feature detection for it at this time.
LLVM has added 3 new address spaces to support special Windows use
cases. These shouldn't trouble us for now, but LLVM requires matching
data layouts.
