This involves lots of breaking changes. There are two big changes that
force changes. The first is that the bitflag types now don't
automatically implement normal derive traits, so we need to derive them
manually.
Additionally, bitflags now have a hidden inner type by default, which
breaks our custom derives. The bitflags docs recommend using the impl
form in these cases, which I did.
`.debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` are poorly designed and people
seldom use them. However, they take a considerable portion of size in
the final binary. This tells LLVM stop emitting those sections on
DWARFv4 or lower. DWARFv5 use `.debug_names` which is more concise
in size and performant for name lookup.
Currently LLVM uses emutls by default
for some targets (such as android, openbsd),
but rust does not use it, because `has_thread_local` is false.
This commit has some changes to allow users to enable emutls:
1. add `-Zhas-thread-local` flag to specify
that std uses `#[thread_local]` instead of pthread key.
2. when using emutls, decorate symbol names
to find thread local symbol correctly.
3. change `-Zforce-emulated-tls` to `-Ztls-model=emulated`
to explicitly specify whether to generate emutls.
Restore `#![no_builtins]` crates participation in LTO.
After #113716, we can make `#![no_builtins]` crates participate in LTO again.
`#![no_builtins]` with LTO does not result in undefined references to the error. I believe this type of issue won't happen again.
Fixes#72140. Fixes#112245. Fixes#110606. Fixes#105734. Fixes#96486. Fixes#108853. Fixes#108893. Fixes#78744. Fixes#91158. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10118. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-builtins/issues/347.
The `nightly-2023-07-20` version does not always reproduce problems due to changes in compiler-builtins, core, and user code. That's why this issue recurs and disappears.
Some issues were not tested due to the difficulty of reproducing them.

This is intended to be used for Linux kernel RETHUNK builds.
With this commit (optionally backported to Rust 1.73.0), plus a
patched Linux kernel to pass the flag, I get a RETHUNK build with
Rust enabled that is `objtool`-warning-free and is able to boot in
QEMU and load a sample Rust kernel module.

`LLVMConstZext` recently got deleted, and it turns out (thanks to @nikic
for knowing!) that this is dead code. Tests all pass for me without this
logic, and per nikic:
> We always generate constants in "relocatable bag of bytes"
> representation, so you're never going to get a plain bool.
So this should be a safe thing to do.

LLVM already supports emitting compressed debuginfo. In debuginfo=full
builds, the debug section is often a large amount of data, and it
typically compresses very well (3x is not unreasonable.) We add a new
knob to allow debuginfo to be compressed when the matching LLVM
functionality is present. Like clang, if a known-but-disabled
compression mechanism is requested, we disable compression and emit
uncompressed debuginfo sections.
The API is different enough on older LLVMs we just pretend the support
is missing on LLVM older than 16.

`isSectionBitcode` works and it now only respects `.llvm.lto` sections
instead of also `.llvmbc`, which it says was never intended to be used
for LTO. We instead load sections by name, and sniff for raw bitcode by
hand.

As experimentation in 115242 has shown looks better than `coldcc`.
And *don't* use a different convention for cold on Windows, because that actually ends up making things worse.

coverage: Don't convert filename/symbol strings to `CString` for FFI
LLVM APIs are usually perfectly happy to accept pointer/length strings, as long as we supply a suitable length value when creating a `StringRef` or `std::string`.
This lets us avoid quite a few intermediate `CString` copies during coverage codegen. It also lets us use an `IndexSet<Symbol>` (instead of an `IndexSet<CString>`) when building the deduplicated filename table.
CFI: Fix error compiling core with LLVM CFI enabled
Fix#90546 by filtering out global value function pointer types from the type tests, and adding the LowerTypeTests pass to the rustc LTO optimization pipelines.
Fix#90546 by filtering out global value function pointer types from the
type tests, and adding the LowerTypeTests pass to the rustc LTO
optimization pipelines.
Coverage FFI types were historically split across two modules, because some of
them were needed by code in `rustc_codegen_ssa`.
Now that all of the coverage codegen code has been moved into
`rustc_codegen_llvm` (#113355), it's possible to move all of the FFI types into
a single module, making it easier to see all of them at once.
Support `--print KIND=PATH` command line syntax
As is already done for `--emit KIND=PATH` and `-L KIND=PATH`.
In the discussion of #110785, it was pointed out that `--print KIND=PATH` is nicer than trying to apply the single global `-o` path to `--print`'s output, because in general there can be multiple print requests within a single rustc invocation, and anyway `-o` would already be used for a different meaning in the case of `link-args` and `native-static-libs`.
I am interested in using `--print cfg=PATH` in Buck2. Currently Buck2 works around the lack of support for `--print KIND=PATH` by [indirecting through a Python wrapper script](d43cf3a51a/prelude/rust/tools/get_rustc_cfg.py) to redirect rustc's stdout into the location dictated by the build system.
From skimming Cargo's usages of `--print`, it definitely seems like it would benefit from `--print KIND=PATH` too. Currently it is working around the lack of this by inserting `--crate-name=___ --print=crate-name` so that it can look for a line containing `___` as a delimiter between the 2 other `--print` informations it actually cares about. This is commented as a "HACK" and "abuse". 31eda6f7c3/src/cargo/core/compiler/build_context/target_info.rs (L242) (FYI `@weihanglo` as you dealt with this recently in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11633.)

LLVM has a neat [statistics] feature that tracks how often optimizations kick
in. It's very handy for optimization work. Since we expose the LLVM pass
timings, I thought it made sense to expose the LLVM statistics too.

Coverage has two FFI functions for computing the hash of a byte string. One
takes a ptr/len pair, and the other takes a NUL-terminated C string.
But on closer inspection, the C string version is unnecessary. The calling-side
code converts a Rust `&str` into a C string, and the C++ code then immediately
turns it back into a ptr/len string before actually hashing it.
Add `-Zremark-dir` unstable flag to write LLVM optimization remarks to YAML
This PR adds an option for `rustc` to emit LLVM optimization remarks to a set of YAML files, which can then be digested by existing tools, like https://github.com/OfekShilon/optview2. When `-Cremark-dir` is passed, and remarks are enabled (`-Cremark=all`), the remarks will be now written to the specified directory, **instead** of being printed to standard error output. The files are named based on the CGU from which they are being generated.
Currently, the remarks are written using the LLVM streaming machinery, directly in the diagnostics handler. It seemed easier than going back to Rust and then form there back to C++ to use the streamer from the diagnostics handler. But there are many ways to implement this, of course, so I'm open to suggestions :)
I included some comments with questions into the code. Also, I'm not sure how to test this.

After the last commit, they contain `Option<&OperandBundleDef<'a>>` but
the values are always `Some(_)`. This commit removes the needless
`Option` wrapper. This also simplifies the type signatures of
`LLVMRustBuild{Invoke,Call}`, which were relying on the fact that the
represention of `Option<&T>` is the same as `&T` for non-`None` values.
Adds support for LLVM [SafeStack] which provides backward edge control
flow protection by separating the stack into two parts: data which is
only accessed in provable safe ways is allocated on the normal stack
(the "safe stack") and all other data is placed in a separate allocation
(the "unsafe stack").
SafeStack support is enabled by passing `-Zsanitizer=safestack`.

Remove the ThinLTO CU hack
This reverts #46722, commit e0ab5d5feb.
Since #111167, commit 10b69dde3f, we are
generating DWARF subprograms in a way that is meant to be more compatible
with LLVM's expectations, so hopefully we don't need this workaround
rewriting CUs anymore.
