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
These tend to have special handling in a bunch of places anyway, so the variant helps remember that. And I think it's easier to grok than non-Scalar Aggregates sometimes being `Immediates` (like I got wrong and caused 109992). As a minor bonus, it means we don't need to generate poison LLVM values for them to pass around in `OperandValue::Immediate`s.
Nicer ICE for #67981
Provides a slightly nicer ICE for #67981, documenting the problem. A proper fix will be necessary before `#![feature(unsized_fn_params)]` can be stabilized.
The problem is that the design of the `"rust-call"` ABI is fundamentally not compatible with `unsized_fn_params`. `"rust-call"` functions need to collect their arguments into a tuple, but if the arguments are not `Sized`, said tuple is potentially not even a valid type—and if it is, it requires `alloca` to create.
``@rustbot`` label +A-abi +A-codegen +F-unboxed_closures +F-unsized_fn_params
Unify terminology used in unwind action and terminator, and reflect
the fact that a nounwind panic is triggered instead of an immediate
abort is triggered for this terminator.
In `codegen_assert_terminator` we decide if a BB's successor is a
candidate for merging, which requires that it be the only successor, and
that it only have one predecessor. That result then gets passed down,
and if it reaches `funclet_br` with the appropriate BB characteristics,
then no `br` instruction is issued, a `MergingSucc::True` result is
passed back, and the merging proceeds in `codegen_block`.
The commit also adds `CachedLlbb`, a new type to help keep track of
each BB that has been merged into its predecessor.
Ensure:
- builders always have a `bx` suffix;
- backend basic blocks always have an `llbb` suffix,
- paired builders and basic blocks have consistent prefixes.
This PR will fix some typos detected by [typos].
I only picked the ones I was sure were spelling errors to fix, mostly in
the comments.

Replace `Body::basic_blocks()` with field access
Since the refactoring in #98930, it is possible to borrow the basic blocks
independently from other parts of MIR by accessing the `basic_blocks` field
directly.
Replace unnecessary `Body::basic_blocks()` method with a direct field access,
which has an additional benefit of borrowing the basic blocks only.
This commit improves the LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI) support in
the Rust compiler by providing forward-edge control flow protection for
Rust-compiled code only by aggregating function pointers in groups
identified by their return and parameter types.
Forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust -compiled
code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust -compiled code
share the same virtual address space) will be provided in later work as
part of this project by identifying C char and integer type uses at the
time types are encoded (see Type metadata in the design document in the
tracking issue #89653).
LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and requires LTO (i.e.,
-Clto).
There are a few places were we have to construct it, though, and a few
places that are more invasive to change. To do this, we create a
constructor with a long obvious name.
This commit adds LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI) support to the Rust
compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow protection for
Rust-compiled code only by aggregating function pointers in groups
identified by their number of arguments.

(see Type metadata in the design document in the tracking issue #89653).

This PR allows applying a `#[track_caller]` attribute to a
closure/generator expression. The attribute as interpreted as applying
to the compiler-generated implementation of the corresponding trait
method (`FnOnce::call_once`, `FnMut::call_mut`, `Fn::call`, or
`Generator::resume`).
This feature does not have its own feature gate - however, it requires
`#![feature(stmt_expr_attributes)]` in order to actually apply
an attribute to a closure or generator.
This is implemented in the same way as for functions - an extra
location argument is appended to the end of the ABI. For closures,
this argument is *not* part of the 'tupled' argument storing the
parameters - the final closure argument for `#[track_caller]` closures
is no longer a tuple.
For direct (monomorphized) calls, the necessary support was already
implemented - we just needeed to adjust some assertions around checking
the ABI and argument count to take closures into account.
For calls through a trait object, more work was needed.
When creating a `ReifyShim`, we need to create a shim
for the trait method (e.g. `FnOnce::call_mut`) - unlike normal
functions, closures are never invoked directly, and always go through a
trait method.
Additional handling was needed for `InstanceDef::ClosureOnceShim`. In
order to pass location information throgh a direct (monomorphized) call
to `FnOnce::call_once` on an `FnMut` closure, we need to make
`ClosureOnceShim` aware of `#[tracked_caller]`. A new field
`track_caller` is added to `ClosureOnceShim` - this is used by
`InstanceDef::requires_caller` location, allowing codegen to
pass through the extra location argument.
Since `ClosureOnceShim.track_caller` is only used by codegen,
we end up generating two identical MIR shims - one for
`track_caller == true`, and one for `track_caller == false`. However,
these two shims are used by the entire crate (i.e. it's two shims total,
not two shims per unique closure), so this shouldn't a big deal.
Fix debuginfo for parameters passed via the ScalarPair abi on Windows
Mark all of these as locals so the debugger does not try to interpret
them as being a pointer to the value. This extends the approach used
in #81898.
