Similar to how the alignment is already checked, this adds a check
for null pointer dereferences in debug mode. It is implemented similarly
to the alignment check as a MirPass.
This is related to a 2025H1 project goal for better UB checks in debug
mode: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-project-goals/pull/177.
`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from
`rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some
closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use
rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use
rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good
reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`,
and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to
`rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly
because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to
one.
Extend Miri to correctly pass mutable pointers through FFI
Based off of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129684, this PR further extends Miri to execute native calls that make use of pointers to *mutable* memory.
We adapt Miri's bookkeeping of internal state upon any FFI call that gives external code permission to mutate memory.
Native code may now possibly write and therefore initialize and change the pointer provenance of bytes it has access to: Such memory is assumed to be *initialized* afterwards and bytes are given *arbitrary (wildcard) provenance*. This enables programs that correctly use mutating FFI calls to run Miri without errors, at the cost of possibly missing Undefined Behaviour caused by incorrect usage of mutating FFI.

r? ``@RalfJung``
the behavior of the type system not only depends on the current
assumptions, but also the currentnphase of the compiler. This is
mostly necessary as we need to decide whether and how to reveal
opaque types. We track this via the `TypingMode`.
remove const-support for align_offset and is_aligned
As part of the recent discussion to stabilize `ptr.is_null()` in const context, the general vibe was that it's okay for a const function to panic when the same operation would work at runtime (that's just a case of "dynamically detecting that something is not supported as a const operation"), but it is *not* okay for a const function to just return a different result.
Following that, `is_aligned` and `is_aligned_to` have their const status revoked in this PR, since they do return actively wrong results at const time. In the future we can consider having a new intrinsic or so that can check whether a pointer is "guaranteed to be aligned", but the current implementation based on `align_offset` does not have the behavior we want.
In fact `align_offset` itself behaves quite strangely in const, and that support needs a bunch of special hacks. That doesn't seem worth it. Instead, the users that can fall back to a different implementation should just use const_eval_select directly, and everything else should not be made const-callable. So this PR does exactly that, and entirely removes const support for align_offset.

compiler: Directly use rustc_abi almost everywhere
Use rustc_abi instead of rustc_target where applicable. This is mostly described by the following substitutions:
```rust
match path_substring {
rustc_target::spec::abi::Abi => rustc_abi::ExternAbi,
rustc_target::abi::call => rustc_target::callconv,
rustc_target::abi => rustc_abi,
}
```
A number of spot-fixes make that not quite the whole story.
The main exception is in 33edc68 where I get a lot more persnickety about how things are imported, especially in `rustc_middle::ty::layout`, not just from where. This includes putting an end to a reexport of `rustc_middle::ty::ReprOptions`, for the same reason that the rest of this change is happening: reexports mostly confound things.
This notably omits rustc_passes and the ast crates, as I'm still examining a question I have about how they do stability checking of `extern "Abi"` strings and if I can simplify their logic. The rustc_abi and rustc_target crates also go untouched because they will be entangled in that cleanup.
r? compiler-errors
Operations like is_aligned would return actively wrong results at compile-time,
i.e. calling it on the same pointer at compiletime and runtime could yield
different results. That's no good.
Instead of having hacks to make align_offset kind-of work in const-eval, just
use const_eval_select in the few places where it makes sense, which also ensures
those places are all aware they need to make sure the fallback behavior is
consistent.
Then we can rename the _raw functions to drop their suffix, and instead
explicitly use is_stable_const_fn for the few cases where that is really what
you want.
Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
Prevent Deduplication of `LongRunningWarn`
Fixes#118612
As mention in the issue, `LongRunningWarn` is meant to be repeated multiple times.
Therefore, this PR stores a unique number in every instance of `LongRunningWarn` so that it's not hashed into the same value and omitted by the deduplication mechanism.
make writes_through_immutable_pointer a hard error
This turns the lint added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118324 into a hard error. This has been reported in cargo's future-compat reports since Rust 1.76 (released in February). Given that const_mut_refs is still unstable, it should be impossible to even hit this error on stable: we did accidentally stabilize some functions that can cause this error, but that got reverted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117905. Still, let's do a crater run just to be sure.
Given that this should only affect unstable code, I don't think it needs an FCP, but let's Cc ``@rust-lang/lang`` anyway -- any objection to making this unambiguous UB into a hard error during const-eval? This can be viewed as part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129195 which is already nominated for discussion.
The guarded call will ICE on its own.
While this improved diagnostics in the presence of bugs somewhat, it is also a blocker to query feeding of constants. If this case is hit again, we should instead improve diagnostics of the root ICE
