This commit updates the LLVM submodule to the current trunk of LLVM itself. This
brings a few notable improvements for the wasm target:
* Support for wasm atomic instructions is greatly improved
* Renamed memory wasm intrinsics are fully supported
* LLD has fixed a quadratic execution bug with large numbers of relocations in
wasm files.
The compiler-rt submodule has been updated in tandem as well.
The following submodules have been updated for a new version of LLVM:
- `src/llvm`
- `src/libcompiler_builtins` - transitively contains compiler-rt
- `src/dlmalloc`
This also updates the docker container for dist-i686-freebsd as the old 16.04
container is no longer capable of building LLVM. The
compiler-rt/compiler-builtins and dlmalloc updates are pretty routine without
much interesting happening, but the LLVM update here is of particular note.
Unlike previous updates I haven't cherry-picked all existing patches we had on
top of our LLVM branch as we have a [huge amount][patches4] and have at this
point forgotten what most of them are for. Instead I started from the current
`release_60` branch in LLVM and only applied patches that were necessary to get
our tests working and building.
The current set of custom rustc-specific patches included in this LLVM update are:
* rust-lang/llvm@1187443 - this is how we actually implement
`cfg(target_feature)` for now and continues to not be upstreamed. While a
hazard for SIMD stabilization this commit is otherwise keeping the status
quo of a small rustc-specific feature.
* rust-lang/llvm@013f2ec - this is a rustc-specific optimization that we haven't
upstreamed, notably teaching LLVM about our allocation-related routines (which
aren't malloc/free). Once we stabilize the global allocator routines we will
likely want to upstream this patch, but for now it seems reasonable to keep it
on our fork.
* rust-lang/llvm@a65bbfd - I found this necessary to fix compilation of LLVM in
our 32-bit linux container. I'm not really sure why it's necessary but my
guess is that it's because of the absolutely ancient glibc that we're using.
In any case it's only updating pieces we're not actually using in LLVM so I'm
hoping it'll turn out alright. This doesn't seem like something we'll want to
upstream.c
* rust-lang/llvm@77ab1f0 - this is what's actually enabling LLVM to build in our
i686-freebsd container, I'm not really sure what's going on but we for sure
probably don't want to upstream this and otherwise it seems not too bad for
now at least.
* rust-lang/llvm@9eb9267 - we currently suffer on MSVC from an [upstream bug]
which although diagnosed to a particular revision isn't currently fixed
upstream (and the bug itself doesn't seem too active). This commit is a
partial revert of the suspected cause of this regression (found via a
bisection). I'm sort of hoping that this eventually gets fixed upstream with a
similar fix (which we can replace in our branch), but for now I'm also hoping
it's a relatively harmless change to have.
After applying these patches (plus one [backport] which should be [backported
upstream][llvm-back]) I believe we should have all tests working on all
platforms in our current test suite. I'm like 99% sure that we'll need some more
backports as issues are reported for LLVM 6 when this propagates through
nightlies, but that's sort of just par for the course nowadays!
In any case though some extra scrutiny of the patches here would definitely be
welcome, along with scrutiny of the "missing patches" like a [change to pass
manager order](rust-lang/llvm@2717444753), [another change to pass manager
order](rust-lang/llvm@c782febb7b), some [compile fixes for
sparc](rust-lang/llvm@1a83de63c4), and some [fixes for
solaris](rust-lang/llvm@c2bfe0abb).

The update to LLVM 6 is desirable for a number of reasons, notably:
* This'll allow us to keep up with the upstream wasm backend, picking up new
features as they start landing.
* Upstream LLVM has fixed a number of SIMD-related compilation errors,
especially around AVX-512 and such.
* There's a few assorted known bugs which are fixed in LLVM 5 and aren't fixed
in the LLVM 4 branch we're using.
* Overall it's not a great idea to stagnate with our codegen backend!
This update is mostly powered by #47730 which is allowing us to update LLVM
*independent* of the version of LLVM that Emscripten is locked to. This means
that when compiling code for Emscripten we'll still be using the old LLVM 4
backend, but when compiling code for any other target we'll be using the new
LLVM 6 target. Once Emscripten updates we may no longer need this distinction,
but we're not sure when that will happen!

This still does not work on 32-bit archs because of an LLVM limitation,
but this is only an optimization, so let's push it on 64-bit only for now.
Fixes#37945
This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/197
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

So ARM had quite a few codegen bugs on LLVM 4.0 which are fixed on LLVM
trunk. This backports 5 of them:
r297871 - ARM: avoid clobbering register in v6 jump-table expansion.
- fixesrust-lang/rust#42248
r294949 - [Thumb-1] TBB generation: spot redefinitions of index
r295816 - [ARM] Fix constant islands pass.
r300870 - [Thumb-1] Fix corner cases for compressed jump tables
r302650 - [IfConversion] Add missing check in
