If the TargetMachine is disposed after the Context is disposed, it can
lead to use after frees in some cases.
I've observed this happening occasionally on code compiled for
aarch64-pc-windows-msvc using `-Zstack-protector=strong` but other users
have reported AVs from host aarch64-pc-windows-msvc compilers as well.
Currently we always do this:
```
use rustc_fluent_macro::fluent_messages;
...
fluent_messages! { "./example.ftl" }
```
But there is no need, we can just do this everywhere:
```
rustc_fluent_macro::fluent_messages! { "./example.ftl" }
```
which is shorter.
The `fluent_messages!` macro produces uses of
`crate::{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage`, which means that every crate using
the macro must have this import:
```
use rustc_errors::{DiagnosticMessage, SubdiagnosticMessage};
```
This commit changes the macro to instead use
`rustc_errors::{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage`, which avoids the need for the
imports.

Enable Rust to use the EHCont security feature of Windows
In the future Windows will enable Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET aka Shadow Stacks). To protect the path where the context is updated during exception handling, the binary is required to enumerate valid unwind entrypoints in a dedicated section which is validated when the context is being set during exception handling.
The required support for EHCONT Guard has already been merged into LLVM, long ago. This change simply adds the Rust codegen option to enable it.
Relevant LLVM change: https://reviews.llvm.org/D40223
This also adds a new `ehcont-guard` option to the bootstrap config which enables EHCont Guard when building std.
We at Microsoft have been using this feature for a significant period of time; we are confident that the LLVM feature, when enabled, generates well-formed code.
We currently enable EHCONT using a codegen feature, but I'm certainly open to refactoring this to be a target feature instead, or to use any appropriate mechanism to enable it.
By default, `newtype_index!` types get a default `Encodable`/`Decodable`
impl. You can opt out of this with `custom_encodable`. Opting out is the
opposite to how Rust normally works with autogenerated (derived) impls.
This commit inverts the behaviour, replacing `custom_encodable` with
`encodable` which opts into the default `Encodable`/`Decodable` impl.
Only 23 of the 59 `newtype_index!` occurrences need `encodable`.
Even better, there were eight crates with a dependency on
`rustc_serialize` just from unused default `Encodable`/`Decodable`
impls. This commit removes that dependency from those eight crates.

Ensure sanity of all computed ABIs
This moves the ABI sanity assertions from the codegen backend to the ABI computation logic. Sadly, due to past mistakes, we [have to](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117351#issuecomment-1788495503) be able to compute a sane ABI for nonsensical function types like `extern "C" fn(str) -> str`. So to make the sanity check pass we first need to make all ABI adjustment deal with unsized types... and we have no shared infrastructure for those adjustments, so that's a bunch of copy-paste. At least we have assertions failing loudly when one accidentally sets a different mode for an unsized argument.
To achieve this, this re-lands the parts of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80594 that got reverted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/81388. To avoid breaking wasm ABI again, that ABI now explicitly opts-in to the (wrong, broken) ABI that we currently keep for backwards compatibility. That's still better than having *every* ABI use the wrong broken default!

Remove asmjs
Fulfills [MCP 668](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/668).
`asmjs-unknown-emscripten` does not work as-specified, and lacks essential upstream support for generating asm.js, so it should not exist at all.
Ensure strings created with `const_str` get the `unnamed_addr` attribute
This function (`const_str`) is only used when we need to invent a string during codegen -- for example, for a panic message to pass when codegening some of the assert/panic/etc terminators (for stuff like divide by zero).
AFAICT all other consts, such as the user-defined ones from const eval, should already be getting this attribute (things that come from a ConstAllocation do, for example). Which means that the "unnamed" part is even more true than usual here, these aren't strings that even exist as far as the user can tell.
~~Setting this attribute allows LLVM to merge these constants, leading to significant binary size savings (much more than I would expect). On x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, t takes a build of ripgrep (release without debug info) from 9.7MiB to 6.0MiB (a savings of over 30%!?), and a build of rustc_driver's shared object from 123MiB to 112MiB (less drastic, but still over 10% reduced).~~
~~The effect on ripgrep is substantially reduced on macOS for reasons beyond me (I may have fucked up the test), only saving around 0.2MiB, although rustc_driver is still around 10MB or smaller than it had been previously.~~
~~This raises some questions, such as "does that mean 1/3 of ripgrep was made of division by zero complaints?" I'm not sure, that may be the case. The output of `strings path/to/rg` is \~2MB smaller, so it seems like a lot of it was. Allowing these to be merged presumably also allow functions that contain them to be merged (if the addresses had semantic meaning, then it stands).~~
~~I intend to do some more analysis here, but I got this up as soon as I realized that this attribute was only missing for internal const strings, and all other ones already get it.~~
Edit: The wins are much more marginal, but there's some argument to do this for the sake of consistency.

coverage: Consistently remove unused counter IDs from expressions/mappings
If some coverage counters were removed by MIR optimizations, we need to take care not to refer to those counter IDs in coverage mappings, and instead replace them with a constant zero value. If we don't, `llvm-cov` might see a too-large counter ID and silently discard the entire function from its coverage reports.
Fixes#117012.
report `unused_import` for empty reexports even it is pub
Fixes#116032
An easy fix. r? `@petrochenkov`
(Discovered this issue while reviewing #115993.)
Most coverage metadata is encoded into two sections in the final executable.
The `__llvm_covmap` section mostly just contains a list of filenames, while the
`__llvm_covfun` section contains encoded coverage maps for each instrumented
function.
The catch is that each per-function record also needs to contain a hash of the
filenames list that it refers to. Historically this was handled by assembling
most of the per-function data into a temporary list, then assembling the
filenames buffer, then using the filenames hash to emit the per-function data,
and then finally emitting the filenames table itself.
However, now that we build the filenames table up-front (via a separate
traversal of the per-function data), we can hash and emit that part first, and
then emit each of the per-function records immediately after building. This
removes the awkwardness of having to temporarily store nearly-complete
per-function records.
The main change here is that `VirtualFileMapping` now uses an internal hashmap
to de-duplicate incoming global file IDs. That removes the need for
`encode_mappings_for_function` to re-sort its mappings by filename in order to
de-duplicate them.
(We still de-duplicate runs of identical filenames to save work, but this is
not load-bearing for correctness, so a sort is not necessary.)
The combined `get_expressions_and_counter_regions` method was an artifact of
having to prepare the expressions and mappings at the same time, to avoid
ownership/lifetime problems with temporary data used by both.
Now that we have an explicit transition from `FunctionCoverageCollector` to the
final `FunctionCoverage`, we can prepare any shared data during that step and
store it in the final struct.
This gives us a clearly-defined place to run code after the instance's MIR has
been traversed by codegen, but before we emit its `__llvm_covfun` record.
This query has a name that sounds general-purpose, but in fact it has
coverage-specific semantics, and (fortunately) is only used by coverage code.
Because it is only ever called once (from one designated CGU), it doesn't need
to be a query, and we can change it to a regular function instead.
Implement rustc part of RFC 3127 trim-paths
This PR implements (or at least tries to) [RFC 3127 trim-paths](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111540), the rustc part. That is `-Zremap-path-scope` with all of it's components/scopes.
`@rustbot` label: +F-trim-paths
Even though expression details are now stored in the info structure, we still
need to inject `ExpressionUsed` statements into MIR, because if one is missing
during codegen then we know that it was optimized out and we can remap all of
its associated code regions to zero.
Previously, mappings were attached to individual coverage statements in MIR.
That necessitated special handling in MIR optimizations to avoid deleting those
statements, since otherwise codegen would be unable to reassemble the original
list of mappings.
With this change, a function's list of mappings is now attached to its MIR
body, and survives intact even if individual statements are deleted by
optimizations.
Instead of modifying the accumulated expressions in-place, we now build a set
of expressions that are known to be zero, and then consult that set on the fly
when converting the expression data for FFI.
This will be necessary when moving mappings and expression data into function
coverage info, which can't be mutated during codegen.
Coverage codegen can now allocate arrays based on the number of
counters/expressions originally used by the instrumentor.
The existing query that inspects coverage statements is still used for
determining the number of counters passed to `llvm.instrprof.increment`. If
some high-numbered counters were removed by MIR optimizations, the instrumented
binary can potentially use less memory and disk space at runtime.
This allows coverage information to be attached to the function as a whole when
appropriate, instead of being smuggled through coverage statements in the
function's basic blocks.
As an example, this patch moves the `function_source_hash` value out of
individual `CoverageKind::Counter` statements and into the per-function info.
When synthesizing unused functions for coverage purposes, the absence of this
info is taken to indicate that a function was not eligible for coverage and
should not be synthesized.
Remove cgu_reuse_tracker from Session
This removes a bit of global mutable state.
It will now miss post-lto cgu reuse when ThinLTO determines that a cgu doesn't get changed, but there weren't any tests for this anyway and a test for it would be fragile to the exact implementation of ThinLTO in LLVM.
Copy 1-element arrays as scalars, not vectors
For `[T; 1]` it's silly to copy as `<1 x T>` when we can just copy as `T`.
Inspired by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/101210#issuecomment-1732470941, which pointed out that `Option<[u8; 1]>` was codegenning worse than `Option<u8>`.
(I'm not sure *why* LLVM doesn't optimize out `<1 x u8>`, but might as well just not emit it in the first place in this codepath.)

Prototype using const generic for simd_shuffle IDX array
cc https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85229
r? `@workingjubilee` on the design
TLDR: there is now a `fn simd_shuffle_generic<T, U, const IDX: &'static [u32]>(x: T, y: T) -> U;` intrinsic that allows replacing
```rust
simd_shuffle(a, b, const { stuff })
```
with
```rust
simd_shuffle_generic::<_, _, {&stuff}>(a, b)
```
which makes the compiler implementations much simpler, if we manage to at some point eliminate `simd_shuffle`.
There are some issues with this today though (can't do math without bubbling it up in the generic arguments). With this change, we can start porting the simple cases and get better data on the others.
subst -> instantiate
continues #110793, there are still quite a few uses of `subst` and `substitute`, but changing them all in the same PR was a bit too much, so I've stopped here for now.
The LLVM API that we use to encode coverage mappings already has its own code
for removing unused coverage expressions and renumbering the rest.
This lets us get rid of our own complex renumbering code, making it easier to
change our coverage code in other ways.
After coverage instrumentation and MIR transformations, we can sometimes end up
with coverage expressions that always have a value of zero. Any expression
operand that refers to an always-zero expression can be replaced with a literal
`Operand::Zero`, making the emitted coverage mapping data smaller and simpler.
This simplification step is mostly redundant with the simplifications performed
inline in `expressions_with_regions`, except that it does a slightly more
thorough job in some cases (because it checks for always-zero expressions
*after* other simplifications).
However, adding this simplification step will then let us greatly simplify that
code, without affecting the quality of the emitted coverage maps.

Rework `no_coverage` to `coverage(off)`
As discussed at the tail of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84605 this replaces the `no_coverage` attribute with a `coverage` attribute that takes sub-parameters (currently `off` and `on`) to control the coverage instrumentation.
Allows future-proofing for things like `coverage(off, reason="Tested live", issue="#12345")` or similar.
Remove `verbose_generic_activity_with_arg`
This removes `verbose_generic_activity_with_arg` and changes users to `generic_activity_with_arg`. This keeps the output of `-Z time` readable while these repeated events are still available with the self profiling mechanism.
Instead of writing coverage mappings into a supplied `&RustString`, this
function can just create the buffer itself and return the resulting vector of
bytes.
If two or more mappings cover exactly the same region, their relative order
will now be preserved from `get_expressions_and_counter_regions`, rather than
being disturbed by implementation details of an unstable sort.
The current order is: counter mappings, expression mappings, zero mappings.
(LLVM will also perform its own stable sort on these mappings, but that sort
only compares file ID, start location, and `RegionKind`.)
This struct was only being used to hold the global file table, and one of its
methods didn't even use the table. Changing its methods to ordinary functions
makes it easier to see where the table is mutated.
debuginfo: add compiler option to allow compressed debuginfo sections
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.
Use the same DISubprogram for each instance of the same inlined function within a caller
# Issue Details:
The call to `panic` within a function like `Option::unwrap` is translated to LLVM as a `tail call` (as it will never return), when multiple calls to the same function like this are inlined LLVM will notice the common `tail call` block (i.e., loading the same panic string + location info and then calling `panic`) and merge them together.
When merging these instructions together, LLVM will also attempt to merge the debug locations as well, but this fails (i.e., debug info is dropped) as Rust emits a new `DISubprogram` at each inline site thus LLVM doesn't recognize that these are actually the same function and so thinks that there isn't a common debug location.
As an example of this, consider the following program:
```rust
#[no_mangle]
fn add_numbers(x: &Option<i32>, y: &Option<i32>) -> i32 {
let x1 = x.unwrap();
let y1 = y.unwrap();
x1 + y1
}
```
When building for x86_64 Windows using 1.72 it generates (note the lack of `.cv_loc` before the call to `panic`, thus it will be attributed to the same line at the `addq` instruction):
```llvm
.cv_loc 0 1 3 0 # src\lib.rs:3:0
addq $40, %rsp
retq

```
# Fix Details:
Cache the `DISubprogram` emitted for each inlined function instance within a caller so that this can be reused if that instance is encountered again.
Ideally, we would also deduplicate child scopes and variables, however my attempt to do that with #114643 resulted in asserts when building for Linux (#115156) which would require some deep changes to Rust to fix (#115455).
Instead, when using an inlined function as a debug scope, we will also create a new child scope such that subsequent child scopes and variables do not collide (from LLVM's perspective).
After this change the above assembly now (with <https://reviews.llvm.org/D159226> as well) shows the `panic!` was inlined from `unwrap` in `option.rs` at line 935 into the current function in `lib.rs` at line 0 (line 0 is emitted since it is ambiguous which line to use as there were two inline sites that lead to this same code):

Replace the \01__gnu_mcount_nc to LLVM intrinsic for ARM
Current `-Zinstrument-mcount` for ARM32 use the `\01__gnu_mcount_nc` directly for its instrumentation function.
However, the LLVM does not use this mcount function directly, but it wraps it to intrinsic, `llvm.arm.gnu.eabi.mcount` and the transform pass also only handle the intrinsic.
As a result, current `-Zinstrument-mcount` not work on ARM32. Refer: https://github.com/namhyung/uftrace/issues/1764
This commit replaces the mcount name from native function to the LLVM intrinsic so that the transform pass can handle it.

Use `unstable_target_features` when checking inline assembly
This is necessary to properly validate register classes even when the relevant target feature name is still unstable.
Extract a create_wrapper_function for use in allocator shim writing
This deduplicates some logic and makes it easier to follow what wrappers are produced. In the future it may allow moving the code to determine which wrappers to create to cg_ssa.
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.

This outcome is superior to hand-coded interrupt routines which, lacking visibility into any non-assembly body of the interrupt handler, have to be very conservative and save the [entire CPU state to the stack frame][full-frame-save]. By instead asking LLVM to only save the registers that it uses, we defer the decision to the tool with the best context: it can more accurately account for the cost of spills if it knows that every additional register used is already at the cost of an implicit spill.
At the LLVM level, this is apparently [implemented by] marking every register as "[callee-save]," matching the semantics of an interrupt handler nicely (it has to leave the CPU state just as it found it after its `{m|s}ret`).
This approach is not suitable for every interrupt handler, as it makes no attempt to e.g. save the state in a user-accessible stack frame. For a full discussion of those challenges and tradeoffs, please refer to [the interrupt calling conventions RFC][rfc].
Inside rustc, this implementation differs from prior art because LLVM does not expose the "all-saved" function flavor as a calling convention directly, instead preferring to use an attribute that allows for differentiating between "machine-mode" and "superivsor-mode" interrupts.
Finally, some effort has been made to guide those who may not yet be aware of the differences between machine-mode and supervisor-mode interrupts as to why no `riscv-interrupt` calling convention is exposed through rustc, and similarly for why `riscv-interrupt-u` makes no appearance (as it would complicate future LLVM upgrades).

Add a new `compare_bytes` intrinsic instead of calling `memcmp` directly
As discussed in #113435, this lets the backends be the place that can have the "don't call the function if n == 0" logic, if it's needed for the target. (I didn't actually *add* those checks, though, since as I understood it we didn't actually need them on known targets?)
Doing this also let me make it `const` (unstable), which I don't think `extern "C" fn memcmp` can be.

cg_llvm: stop identifying ADTs in LLVM IR
This is an extension of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/94107. It may be a minor perf win.
Fixes#96242.
Now that we use opaque pointers, ADTs can no longer be recursive, so we
do not need to name them. Previously, this would be necessary if you had
a struct like
```rs
struct Foo(Box<Foo>, u64, u64);
```
which would be represented with something like
```ll
%Foo = type { %Foo*, i64, i64 }
```
which is now just
```ll

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.
Filter out short-lived LLVM diagnostics before they reach the rustc handler
During profiling I saw remark passes being unconditionally enabled: for example `Machine Optimization Remark Emitter`.
The diagnostic remarks enabled by default are [from missed optimizations and opt analyses](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/113339#discussion_r1259480303). They are created by LLVM, passed to the diagnostic handler on the C++ side, emitted to rust, where they are unpacked, C++ strings are converted to rust, etc.
Then they are discarded in the vast majority of the time (i.e. unless some kind of `-Cremark` has enabled some of these passes' output to be printed).
These unneeded allocations are very short-lived, basically only lasting between the LLVM pass emitting them and the rust handler where they are discarded. So it doesn't hugely impact max-rss, and is only a slight reduction in instruction count (cachegrind reports a reduction between 0.3% and 0.5%) _on linux_. It's possible that targets without `jemalloc` or with a worse allocator, may optimize these less.
It is however significant in the aggregate, looking at the total number of allocated bytes:
- it's the biggest source of allocations according to dhat, on the benchmarks I've tried e.g. `syn` or `cargo`
- allocations on `syn` are reduced by 440MB, 17% (from 2440722647 bytes total, to 2030461328 bytes)
- allocations on `cargo` are reduced by 6.6GB, 19% (from 35371886402 bytes total, to 28723987743 bytes)
Some of these diagnostics objects [are allocated in LLVM](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/113339#discussion_r1252387484) *before* they're emitted to our diagnostic handler, where they'll be filtered out. So we could remove those in the future, but that will require changing a few LLVM call-sites upstream, so I left a FIXME.
now that remarks are filtered before cg_llvm's diagnostic handler callback
is called, we don't need to do the filtering post c++-to-rust conversion
of the diagnostic.
cleanup: remove pointee types
This can't be merged until the oldest LLVM version we support uses opaque pointers, which will be the case after #114148. (Also note `-Cllvm-args="-opaque-pointers=0"` can technically be used in LLVM 15, though I don't think we should support that configuration.)
I initially hoped this would provide some minor perf win, but in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105412#issuecomment-1341224450 it had very little impact, so this is only valuable as a cleanup.
As a followup, this will enable #96242 to be resolved.

Operand types are now tracked explicitly, so there is no need to reserve ID 0
for the special always-zero counter.
As part of the renumbering, this change fixes an off-by-one error in the way
counters were counted by the `coverageinfo` query. As a result, functions
should now have exactly the number of counters they actually need, instead of
always having an extra counter that is never used.
Operand types are now tracked explicitly, so there is no need for expression
IDs to avoid counter IDs by descending from `u32::MAX`. Instead they can just
count up from 0, and can be used directly as indices when necessary.
Because the three kinds of operand are now distinguished explicitly, we no
longer need fiddly code to disambiguate counter IDs and expression IDs based on
the total number of counters/expressions in a function.
This does increase the size of operands from 4 bytes to 8 bytes, but that
shouldn't be a big deal since they are mostly stored inside boxed structures,
and the current coverage code is not particularly size-optimized anyway.
Now that we use opaque pointers, ADTs can no longer be recursive, so we
do not need to name them. Previously, this would be necessary if you had

This section name is always constant for a given target, but obtaining it from
LLVM requires a few intermediate allocations. There's no need to do so
repeatedly from inside a per-function loop.
Both GCC and Clang write by default a `.comment` section with compiler
information:
```txt
$ gcc -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 1] GCC: (GNU) 11.2.0
$ clang -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 1] clang version 14.0.1 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git c62053979489ccb002efe411c3af059addcb5d7d)
```
They also implement the `-Qn` flag to avoid doing so:
```txt
$ gcc -Qn -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
readelf: Warning: Section '.comment' was not dumped because it does not exist!
$ clang -Qn -c -xc /dev/null && readelf -p '.comment' null.o
readelf: Warning: Section '.comment' was not dumped because it does not exist!
```
So far, `rustc` only does it for WebAssembly targets and only
when debug info is enabled:
```txt
$ echo 'fn main(){}' | rustc --target=wasm32-unknown-unknown --emit=llvm-ir -Cdebuginfo=2 - && grep llvm.ident rust_out.ll
!llvm.ident = !{!27}
```
In the RFC part of this PR it was decided to always add
the information, which gets us closer to other popular compilers.
An opt-out flag like GCC and Clang may be added later on if deemed
necessary.
Implementation-wise, this covers both `ModuleLlvm::new()` and
`ModuleLlvm::new_metadata()` cases by moving the addition to
`context::create_module` and adds a few test cases.
ThinLTO also sees the `llvm.ident` named metadata duplicated (in
temporary outputs), so this deduplicates it like it is done for
`wasm.custom_sections`. The tests also check this duplication does
not take place.

Prototype: Add unstable `-Z reference-niches` option
MCP: rust-lang/compiler-team#641
Relevant RFC: rust-lang/rfcs#3204
This prototype adds a new `-Z reference-niches` option, controlling the range of valid bit-patterns for reference types (`&T` and `&mut T`), thereby enabling new enum niching opportunities. Like `-Z randomize-layout`, this setting is crate-local; as such, references to built-in types (primitives, tuples, ...) are not affected.
The possible settings are (here, `MAX` denotes the all-1 bit-pattern):
| `-Z reference-niches=` | Valid range |
|:---:|:---:|
| `null` (the default) | `1..=MAX` |
| `size` | `1..=(MAX- size)` |
| `align` | `align..=MAX.align_down_to(align)` |
| `size,align` | `align..=(MAX-size).align_down_to(align)` |

This is very WIP, and I'm not sure the approach I've taken here is the best one, but stage 1 tests pass locally; I believe this is in a good enough state to unleash this upon unsuspecting 3rd-party code, and see what breaks.
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.)

Add the `no-builtins` attribute to functions when `no_builtins` is applied at the crate level.
**When `no_builtins` is applied at the crate level, we should add the `no-builtins` attribute to each function to ensure it takes effect in LTO.**
This is also the reason why no_builtins does not take effect in LTO as mentioned in #35540.
Now, `#![no_builtins]` should be similar to `-fno-builtin` in clang/gcc, see https://clang.godbolt.org/z/z4j6Wsod5.
Next, we should make `#![no_builtins]` participate in LTO again. That makes sense, as LTO also takes into consideration function-level instruction optimizations, such as the MachineOutliner. More importantly, when a user writes a large `#![no_builtins]` crate, they would like this crate to participate in LTO as well.
We should also add a function-level no_builtins attribute to allow users to have more control over it. This is similar to Clang's `__attribute__((no_builtin))` feature, see https://clang.godbolt.org/z/Wod6KK6eq. Before implementing this feature, maybe we should discuss whether to support more fine-grained control, such as `__attribute__((no_builtin("memcpy")))`.

Remove `LLVMRustCoverageHashCString`
Coverage has two FFI functions for computing the hash of a byte string. One takes a ptr/len pair (`LLVMRustCoverageHashByteArray`), and the other takes a NUL-terminated C string (`LLVMRustCoverageHashCString`).
But on closer inspection, the C string version is unnecessary. The calling-side code converts a Rust `&str` into a `CString`, and the C++ code then immediately turns it back into a ptr/len string before actually hashing it. So we can just call the ptr/len version directly instead.
---
This PR also fixes a bug in the C++ declaration of `LLVMRustCoverageHashByteArray`. It should be `size_t`, since that's what is declared and passed on the Rust side, and it's what `StrRef`'s constructor expects to receive on the callee side.

it possible to call the hash function with arbitrary read-only byte slices.

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.

Support for native WASM exceptions
### Motivation
Currently, rustc does not support native WASM exceptions. It does support JavaScript based exceptions for the wasm32-emscripten-target, but this requires back&forth with javascript for many calls, which is very slow.
Native wasm support for exceptions is quite common: Clang+LLVM implemented them years ago, and all major browsers support them by now. They enable zero-cost exceptions, at least with regard to runtime-performance-cost. They may increase startup-time and code size, though.
### Important: This PR does not change default behaviour
Exceptions usually add a lot of code in form of unwinding blocks, increasing the binary size. Most users probably do not want that, especially which regard to web development.
Therefore, wasm exceptions play a similar role as WASM-threads: rustc should support them, like clang does, but users who want to use it have to use some command-line magic like rustflags to opt in.
### What does this PR do?
As stated above, the default behaviour is not changed. It is already possible to opt-in into wasm exceptions using the command line. Unfortunately, the LLVM IR is invalid and the LLVM backend crashes.
```
rustc <sourcefile>
--target wasm32-unknown-unknown
-C panic=unwind
-C llvm-args=-wasm-enable-eh
-C target-feature=+exception-handling
```
As it turns out, LLVM is quite picky when it comes to IR for exception handling. If the IR does not look exactly like it should, some LLVM-assertions fail and the code generation crashes.
This PR adds the necessary modifications to the code generator to make it work. It also adds `exception-handling` as a wasm target feature.
### What this PR does not / what is missing
This PR is not a full fledges solution. It is the first step. A few parts are still missing; however, it is already useable (see next section).
Currently missing:
* The std library has to be adapted. Currently, only [no_std] crates work
* Usually, nested exceptions abort the program (i.e. a panic during the cleanup of another panic). This is currently not done yet.
- Currently, code inside cleanup handlers does not unwind
- To fix this requires a little more work: The code generator currently maintains a single terminate block per function for this. Unfortunately, WASM requires funclet based exception handling. Therefore, we need to create a terminate block per funclet. This is probably not a big problem, but I want to keep this PR simple.
### How to use the compiler given this PR?
This PR does not add any command line flags or features. It uses those which are already there. To compile with exceptions enabled, you need
* to set the panic strategy to unwind, i.e. `-C panic=unwind`
* to enable the exception-handling target feature, i.e. `-C target-feature=+exception-handling`
* to tell LLVM about the exception handling, i.e. `-C llvm-args=-wasm-enable-eh`
Since the standard library has not been adapted, you can only use it in [no_std] crates as of now. The intrinsic `core::intrinsics::r#try` works. To throw exceptions, you need the ```@llvm.wasm.throw``` intrinsic.
I created a sample application which works for me: https://github.com/mirkootter/rust-wasm-demos
This example can be run at https://webassembly.sh
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.
They never have a length of more than two. So this commit changes them
to `SmallVec<[_; 2]>`.
Also, we possibly push `None` values and then filter those `None` values
out again with `retain`. So this commit removes the `retain` and instead
only pushes the values if they are `Some(_)`.
