Stop using LLVM struct types for alloca
The alloca type has no semantic meaning, only the size (and alignment, but we specify it explicitly) matter. Using `[N x i8]` is a more direct way to specify that we want `N` bytes, and avoids relying on LLVM's struct layout. It is likely that a future LLVM version will change to an untyped alloca representation.
Split out from #121577.

We already use `Instance` at declaration sites when available to glean
additional information about possible abstractions of the type in use.
This does the same when possible at callsites as well.
The primary purpose of this change is to allow CFI to alter how it
generates type information for indirect calls through `Virtual`
instances.
This commit adds cross-language LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI)
support to the Rust compiler by adding the
`-Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers` option to be used with Clang
`-fsanitize-cfi-icall-normalize-integers` for normalizing integer types
(see https://reviews.llvm.org/D139395).
It provides forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust
-compiled code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust
-compiled code share the same virtual address space). For more
information about LLVM CFI and cross-language LLVM CFI support for the
Rust compiler, see design document in the tracking issue #89653.
Cross-language LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and
-Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers, and requires proper (i.e.,
non-rustc) LTO (i.e., -Clinker-plugin-lto).
Add `round_ties_even` to `f32` and `f64`
Tracking issue: #96710
Redux of #82273. See also #55107
Adds a new method, `round_ties_even`, to `f32` and `f64`, that rounds the float to the nearest integer , rounding halfway cases to the number with an even least significant bit. Uses the `roundeven` LLVM intrinsic to do this.
Of the five IEEE 754 rounding modes, this is the only one that doesn't already have a round-to-integer function exposed by Rust (others are `round`, `floor`, `ceil`, and `trunc`). Ties-to-even is also the rounding mode used for int-to-float and float-to-float `as` casts, as well as float arithmentic operations. So not having an explicit rounding method for it seems like an oversight.
Bikeshed: this PR currently uses `round_ties_even` for the name of the method. But maybe `round_ties_to_even` is better, or `round_even`, or `round_to_even`?
Add pointer masking convenience functions
This PR adds the following public API:
```rust
impl<T: ?Sized> *const T {
fn mask(self, mask: usize) -> *const T;
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
fn mask(self, mask: usize) -> *const T;
}
// mod intrinsics
fn mask<T>(ptr: *const T, mask: usize) -> *const T
```
This is equivalent to `ptr.map_addr(|a| a & mask)` but also uses a cool llvm intrinsic.

Because `PassMode::Cast` is by far the largest variant, but is
relatively rare.
This requires making `PassMode` not impl `Copy`, and `Clone` is no
longer necessary. This causes lots of sigil adjusting, but nothing very
notable.
Add the intrinsic
declare {i8*, i1} @llvm.type.checked.load(i8* %ptr, i32 %offset, metadata %type)
This is used in the VFE optimization when lowering loading functions
from vtables to LLVM IR. The `metadata` is used to map the function to
all vtables this function could belong to. This ensures that functions
from vtables that might be used somewhere won't get removed.
It looks like the last time had left some remaining cfg's -- which made me think
that the stage0 bump was actually successful. This brings us to a released 1.62
beta though.
`Layout` is another type that is sometimes interned, sometimes not, and
we always use references to refer to it so we can't take any advantage
of the uniqueness properties for hashing or equality checks.
This commit renames `Layout` as `LayoutS`, and then introduces a new
`Layout` that is a newtype around an `Interned<LayoutS>`. It also
interns more layouts than before. Previously layouts within layouts
(via the `variants` field) were never interned, but now they are. Hence
the lifetime on the new `Layout` type.
Unlike other interned types, these ones are in `rustc_target` instead of
`rustc_middle`. This reflects the existing structure of the code, which
does layout-specific stuff in `rustc_target` while `TyAndLayout` is
generic over the `Ty`, allowing the type-specific stuff to occur in
`rustc_middle`.
The commit also adds a `HashStable` impl for `Interned`, which was
needed. It hashes the contents, unlike the `Hash` impl which hashes the
pointer.
