LLVM 20 split out what used to be called b16b16 and correspond to aarch64
FEAT_SVE_B16B16 into sve-b16b16 and sme-b16b16.
Add sme-b16b16 as an explicit feature and update the codegen accordingly.
This was previously set to `target_abi = "elf"`, but `elf` is not used
elsewhere as a target ABI (even though there's many targets that have it
in their name).
debug-fmt-detail option
I'd like to propose a new option that makes `#[derive(Debug)]` generate no-op implementations that don't print anything, and makes `{:?}` in format strings a no-op.
There are a couple of motivations for this:
1. A more thorough stripping of debug symbols. Binaries stripped of debug symbols still retain some of them through `Debug` implementations. It's hard to avoid that without compiler's help, because debug formatting can be used in many places, including dependencies, and their loggers, asserts, panics, etc.
* In my testing it gives about 2% binary size reduction on top of all other binary-minimizing best practices (including `panic_immediate_abort`). There are targets like Web WASM or embedded where users pay attention to binary sizes.
* Users distributing closed-source binaries may not want to "leak" any symbol names as a matter of principle.
2. Adds ability to test whether code depends on specifics of the `Debug` format implementation in unwise ways (e.g. trying to get data unavailable via public interface, or using it as a serialization format). Because current Rust's debug implementation doesn't change, there's a risk of it becoming a fragile de-facto API that [won't be possible to change in the future](https://www.hyrumslaw.com/). An option that "breaks" it can act as a [grease](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8701.html).
This implementation is a `-Z fmt-debug=opt` flag that takes:
* `full` — the default, current state.
* `none` — makes derived `Debug` and `{:?}` no-ops. Explicit `impl Debug for T` implementations are left unharmed, but `{:?}` format won't use them, so they may get dead-code eliminated if they aren't invoked directly.
* `shallow` — makes derived `Debug` print only the type's name, without recursing into fields. Fieldless enums print their variant names. `{:?}` works.
The `shallow` option is a compromise between minimizing the `Debug` code, and compatibility. There are popular proc-macro crates that use `Debug::fmt` as a way to convert enum values into their Rust source code.
There's a corresponding `cfg` flag: `#[cfg(fmt_debug = "none")]` that can be used in user code to react to this setting to minimize custom `Debug` implementations or remove unnecessary formatting helper functions.
Add NuttX based targets for RISC-V and ARM
Apache NuttX is a real-time operating system (RTOS) with an emphasis on standards compliance and small footprint. It is scalable from 8-bit to 64-bit microcontroller environments. The primary governing standards in NuttX are POSIX and ANSI standards.
NuttX adopts additional standard APIs from Unix and other common RTOSs, such as VxWorks. These APIs are used for functionality not available under the POSIX and ANSI standards. However, some APIs, like fork(), are not appropriate for deeply-embedded environments and are not implemented in NuttX.
For brevity, many parts of the documentation will refer to Apache NuttX as simply NuttX.
I'll be adding libstd support for NuttX in the future, but for now I'll just add the targets.

I will be the target maintainer for this target on matters that pertain to the NuttX part of the triple. For matters pertaining to the riscv or arm part of the triple, there should be no difference from all other targets. If there are issues, I will address issues regarding the target.

Add `target_env = "p1"` to the `wasm32-wasip1` target
This commit sets the `target_env` key for the
`wasm32-wasi{,p1,p1-threads}` targets to the string `"p1"`. This mirrors how the `wasm32-wasip2` target has `target_env = "p2"`. The intention of this is to more easily detect each target in downstream crates to enable adding custom code per-target.

Uses the same dependencies, requirements and licensing as the other `*-pc-windows-msvc` targets.
> Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions.
> This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
Understood, I am not a member of the Rust team.
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
Both `core` and `alloc` are supported.
Support for `std` dependends on making changes to the standard library, `stdarch` and `backtrace` which cannot be done yet as the bootstrapping compiler raises a warning ("unexpected `cfg` condition value") for `target_arch = "arm64ec"`.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
Documentation is provided in src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc.md
> Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via @) to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
> Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications.
> Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
> In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
Understood.
Adds initial support for DataFlowSanitizer to the Rust compiler. It
currently supports `-Zsanitizer-dataflow-abilist`. Additional options
for it can be passed to LLVM command line argument processor via LLVM
arguments using `llvm-args` codegen option (e.g.,
`-Cllvm-args=-dfsan-combine-pointer-labels-on-load=false`).
