Uplift `temporary-cstring-as-ptr` lint from `clippy` into rustc
The general consensus seems to be that this lint covers a common enough mistake to warrant inclusion in rustc.
The diagnostic message might need some tweaking, as I'm not sure the use of second-person perspective matches the rest of rustc, but I'd like to hear others' thoughts on that.
(cc #53224).
r? `@oli-obk`
The lint checks arguments in calls to `transmute` or functions that have
`Pointer` as a trait bound and displays a warning if the argument is a function
reference. Also checks for `std::fmt::Pointer::fmt` to handle formatting macros
although it doesn't depend on the exact expansion of the macro or formatting
internals. `std::fmt::Pointer` and `std::fmt::Pointer::fmt` were also added as
diagnostic items and symbols.

Closes#75172.
BTreeMap: move generic support functions out of navigate.rs
A preparatory step chipped off #78104, useful in general (if at all).
r? `@Mark-Simulacrum`
Add [T]::as_chunks(_mut)
Allows getting the slices directly, rather than just through an iterator as in `array_chunks(_mut)`. The constructors for those iterators are then written in terms of these methods, so the iterator constructors no longer have any `unsafe` of their own.
Unstable, of course. #74985
Updated the added documentation in llvm_util.rs to note which copies of LLVM need to be inspected.
Removed avx512bf16 and avx512vp2intersect because they are unsupported before LLVM 9 with the build with external LLVM 8 being supported
Re-introduced detection testing previously removed for un-requestable features tsc and mmx
Optimise align_offset for stride=1 further
`stride == 1` case can be computed more efficiently through `-p (mod
a)`. That, then translates to a nice and short sequence of LLVM
instructions:
%address = ptrtoint i8* %p to i64
%negptr = sub i64 0, %address
%offset = and i64 %negptr, %a_minus_one
And produces pretty much ideal code-gen when this function is used in
isolation.
Typical use of this function will, however, involve use of
the result to offset a pointer, i.e.
%aligned = getelementptr inbounds i8, i8* %p, i64 %offset
This still looks very good, but LLVM does not really translate that to
what would be considered ideal machine code (on any target). For example
that's the codegen we obtain for an unknown alignment:
; x86_64
dec rsi
mov rax, rdi
neg rax
and rax, rsi
add rax, rdi
In particular negating a pointer is not something that’s going to be
optimised for in the design of CISC architectures like x86_64. They
are much better at offsetting pointers. And so we’d love to utilize this
ability and produce code that's more like this:
; x86_64
lea rax, [rsi + rdi - 1]
neg rsi
and rax, rsi
To achieve this we need to give LLVM an opportunity to apply its
various peep-hole optimisations that it does during DAG selection. In
particular, the `and` instruction appears to be a major inhibitor here.
We cannot, sadly, get rid of this load-bearing operation, but we can
reorder operations such that LLVM has more to work with around this
instruction.
One such ordering is proposed in #75579 and results in LLVM IR that
looks broadly like this:
; using add enables `lea` and similar CISCisms
%offset_ptr = add i64 %address, %a_minus_one
%mask = sub i64 0, %a
%masked = and i64 %offset_ptr, %mask
; can be folded with `gepi` that may follow
%offset = sub i64 %masked, %address
…and generates the intended x86_64 machine code.
One might also wonder how the increased amount of code would impact a
RISC target. Turns out not much:
; aarch64 previous ; aarch64 new
sub x8, x1, #1 add x8, x1, x0
neg x9, x0 sub x8, x8, #1
and x8, x9, x8 neg x9, x1
add x0, x0, x8 and x0, x8, x9
(and similarly for ppc, sparc, mips, riscv, etc)
The only target that seems to do worse is… wasm32.
Onto actual measurements – the best way to evaluate snipets like these
is to use llvm-mca. Much like Aarch64 assembly would allow to suspect,
there isn’t any performance difference to be found. Both snippets
execute in same number of cycles for the CPUs I tried. On x86_64,
we get throughput improvement of >50%!
Fixes#75579
