Remove the install prefix from the rpath set when using -Crpath
It was broken anyway for rustup installs and nobody seems to have noticed.

Unify duplicate linker_and_flavor methods in rustc_codegen_{cranelift,ssa}.
The two methods were exactly the same so this removes the cranelift copy. This will help make sure both they don't get out of sync.
Driver improvements
This PR contains a couple of cleanups for the driver and a few small improvements for the custom codegen backend interface. It also implements `--version` and `-Cpasses=list` support for custom codegen backends.
- Combine all native library arguments together, to simplify potential support for library deduplication and similar things
- Split arguments into order-independent and order-dependent, to define more precisely what (pre,post,late)-link-args mean
Tweak wasm_base target spec to indicate linker is not GNU and update linker inferring logic for wasm-ld.
Reported via [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/wasi.20linker.20unknown.20argument.3A.20--as-needed): we try passing `--as-needed` to the linker if it's GNU ld which `wasm-ld` is not. Usually this isn't an issue for wasm as we would use the WasmLd linker driver but because the linker in question (`wasm32-unknown-wasi-wasm-ld`) ended with `-ld` our linker inferring [logic](f64503eb55/compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/back/link.rs (L957-L1040)) used the `GccLinker` implementations. (UPD: The linker inferring logic actually didn't apply in this case because the linker is actually invoked through gcc in the reported issue. But it's still worth updating the logic I think.)
This change then has 2 parts:
1. Update wasm_base target spec to indicate `linker_is_gnu: false` plus a few additions of `target.is_like_wasm` to handle flags `wasm-ld` does in fact support.
2. Improve the linker detection logic to properly determine the correct flavor of wasm linker we're using when we can.
We need to add the new `target.is_like_wasm` branches to handle the case where the "linker" used could be something like clang which would then under the hood call wasm-ld.
Preserve metadata w/ Solaris-like linkers.
#84468 moved the `-zignore` linker flag from the `gc_sections` method to `add_as_needed` which is more accurate but Solaris-style linkers will also end up removing an unreferenced ELF sections [1]. This had the unfortunate side effect of causing the `.rustc` section (which has the metada) to be removed which could cause issues when trying to link against the resulting crates or use proc macros.
Since the `-zignore` is positional, we fix this by moving the metadata objects to before the flag.
[1] Specifically a section is considered unreferenced if:
* The section is allocatable
* No other sections bind to (relocate) to this section
* The section provides no global symbols

Partial support for raw-dylib linkage
First cut of functionality for issue #58713: add support for `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]` on `extern` blocks in lib crates compiled to .rlib files. Does not yet support `#[link_name]` attributes on functions, or the `#[link_ordinal]` attribute, or `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]` on `extern` blocks in bin crates; I intend to publish subsequent PRs to fill those gaps. It's also not yet clear whether this works for functions in `extern "stdcall"` blocks; I also intend to investigate that shortly and make any necessary changes as a follow-on PR.
This implementation calls out to an LLVM function to construct the actual `.idata` sections as temporary `.lib` files on disk and then links those into the generated .rlib.
BPF target support
This adds `bpfel-unknown-none` and `bpfeb-unknown-none`, two new no_std targets that generate little and big endian BPF. The approach taken is very similar to the cuda target, where `TargetOptions::obj_is_bitcode` is enabled and code generation is done by the linker.
I added the targets to `dist-various-2`. There are [some tests](https://github.com/alessandrod/bpf-linker/tree/main/tests/assembly) in bpf-linker and I'm planning to add more. Those are currently not ran as part of rust CI.
This does not yet support #[link_name] attributes on functions, the #[link_ordinal]
attribute, #[link(kind = "raw-dylib")] on extern blocks in bin crates, or
stdcall functions on 32-bit x86.
This commit updates how rustc compiler metadata is stored in rlibs.
Previously metadata was stored as a raw file that has the same format as
`--emit metadata`. After this commit, however, the metadata is encoded
into a small object file which has one section which is the contents of
the metadata.
The motivation for this commit is to fix a common case where #83730
arises. The problem is that when rustc crates a `dylib` crate type it
needs to include entire rlib files into the dylib, so it passes
`--whole-archive` (or the equivalent) to the linker. The problem with
this, though, is that the linker will attempt to read all files in the
archive. If the metadata file were left as-is (today) then the linker
would generate an error saying it can't read the file. The previous
solution was to alter the rlib just before linking, creating a new
archive in a temporary directory which has the metadata file removed.
This problem from before this commit is now removed if the metadata file
is stored in an object file that the linker can read. The only caveat we
have to take care of is to ensure that the linker never actually
includes the contents of the object file into the final output. We apply
similar tricks as the `.llvmbc` bytecode sections to do this.
This involved changing the metadata loading code a bit, namely updating
some of the LLVM C APIs used to use non-deprecated ones and fiddling
with the lifetimes a bit to get everything to work out. Otherwise though
this isn't intended to be a functional change really, only that metadata
is stored differently in archives now.
This should end up fixing #83730 because by default dylibs will no
longer have their rlib dependencies "altered" meaning that
split-debuginfo will continue to have valid paths pointing at the
original rlibs. (note that we still "alter" rlibs if LTO is enabled to
remove Rust object files and we also "alter" for the #[link(cfg)]
feature, but that's rarely used).
Closes#83730
This commit implements both the native linking modifiers infrastructure
as well as an initial attempt at the individual modifiers from the RFC.
It also introduces a feature flag for the general syntax along with
individual feature flags for each modifier.
Adjusted LLVM codegen for code compiled with `-Zinstrument-coverage` to
address multiple, somewhat related issues.
Fixed a significant flaw in prior coverage solution: Every counter
generated a new counter variable, but there should have only been one
counter variable per function. This appears to have bloated .profraw
files significantly. (For a small program, it increased the size by
about 40%. I have not tested large programs, but there is anecdotal
evidence that profraw files were way too large. This is a good fix,
regardless, but hopefully it also addresses related issues.

Invalid LLVM coverage data produced when compiled with -C opt-level=1
Existing tests now work up to at least `opt-level=3`. This required a
detailed analysis of the LLVM IR, comparisons with Clang C++ LLVM IR
when compiled with coverage, and a lot of trial and error with codegen
adjustments.
The biggest hurdle was figuring out how to continue to support coverage
results for unused functions and generics. Rust's coverage results have
three advantages over Clang's coverage results:
1. Rust's coverage map does not include any overlapping code regions,
making coverage counting unambiguous.
2. Rust generates coverage results (showing zero counts) for all unused
functions, including generics. (Clang does not generate coverage for
uninstantiated template functions.)
3. Rust's unused functions produce minimal stubbed functions in LLVM IR,
sufficient for including in the coverage results; while Clang must
generate the complete LLVM IR for each unused function, even though
it will never be called.
This PR removes the previous hack of attempting to inject coverage into
some other existing function instance, and generates dedicated instances
for each unused function. This change, and a few other adjustments
(similar to what is required for `-C link-dead-code`, but with lower
impact), makes it possible to support LLVM optimizations.
Fixes: #79651
Coverage report: "Unexecuted instantiation:..." for a generic function
from multiple crates
Fixed by removing the aforementioned hack. Some "Unexecuted
instantiation" notices are unavoidable, as explained in the
`used_crate.rs` test, but `-Zinstrument-coverage` has new options to
back off support for either unused generics, or all unused functions,
which avoids the notice, at the cost of less coverage of unused
functions.
Fixes: #82875
Invalid LLVM coverage data produced with crate brotli_decompressor
Fixed by disabling the LLVM function attribute that forces inlining, if
`-Z instrument-coverage` is enabled. This attribute is applied to
Rust functions with `#[inline(always)], and in some cases, the forced
inlining breaks coverage instrumentation and reports.
Add new `rustc` target for Arm64 machines that can target the iphonesimulator
This PR lands a new target (`aarch64-apple-ios-sim`) that targets arm64 iphone simulator, previously unreachable from Apple Silicon machines.
resolves#81632
r? `@shepmaster`
In the backend we may want to remove certain temporary files, but in
certain other situations these files might not be produced in the first
place. We don't exactly care about that, and the intent is really that
these files are gone after a certain point in the backend.
Here we unify the backend file removing calls to use `ensure_removed`
which will attempt to delete a file, but will not fail if it does not
exist (anymore).
The tradeoff to this approach is, of course, that we may miss instances
were we are attempting to remove files at wrong paths due to some bug –
compilation would silently succeed but the temporary files would remain
there somewhere.
Use -target when linking binaries for Mac Catalyst
When running `rustc` with `-target x86_64-apple-ios-macabi`, the linker
eventually gets run with `-arch x86_64`, because the linker back end splits the
LLVM target triple and uses the first token as the target architecture. However,
this does not work for the Mac Catalyst ABI, which is a separate target from
Darwin.
Specifying the full target triple with `-target` allows Mac Catalyst binaries to
link and run.
closes#80202
This commit adds a new stable codegen option to rustc,
`-Csplit-debuginfo`. The old `-Zrun-dsymutil` flag is deleted and now
subsumed by this stable flag. Additionally `-Zsplit-dwarf` is also
subsumed by this flag but still requires `-Zunstable-options` to
actually activate. The `-Csplit-debuginfo` flag takes one of
three values:
* `off` - This indicates that split-debuginfo from the final artifact is
not desired. This is not supported on Windows and is the default on
Unix platforms except macOS. On macOS this means that `dsymutil` is
not executed.
* `packed` - This means that debuginfo is desired in one location
separate from the main executable. This is the default on Windows
(`*.pdb`) and macOS (`*.dSYM`). On other Unix platforms this subsumes
`-Zsplit-dwarf=single` and produces a `*.dwp` file.
* `unpacked` - This means that debuginfo will be roughly equivalent to
object files, meaning that it's throughout the build directory
rather than in one location (often the fastest for local development).
This is not the default on any platform and is not supported on Windows.
Each target can indicate its own default preference for how debuginfo is
handled. Almost all platforms default to `off` except for Windows and
macOS which default to `packed` for historical reasons.
Some equivalencies for previous unstable flags with the new flags are:
* `-Zrun-dsymutil=yes` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`
* `-Zrun-dsymutil=no` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`
* `-Zsplit-dwarf=single` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`
* `-Zsplit-dwarf=split` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`
Note that `-Csplit-debuginfo` still requires `-Zunstable-options` for
non-macOS platforms since split-dwarf support was *just* implemented in
rustc.
There's some more rationale listed on #79361, but the main gist of the
motivation for this commit is that `dsymutil` can take quite a long time
to execute in debug builds and provides little benefit. This means that
incremental compile times appear that much worse on macOS because the
compiler is constantly running `dsymutil` over every single binary it
produces during `cargo build` (even build scripts!). Ideally rustc would
switch to not running `dsymutil` by default, but that's a problem left
to get tackled another day.
