cg_llvm: Stop using `as_c_char_ptr` for coverage-related bindings
[As explained by a note in `ffi.rs`](8a1b39995e/compiler/rustc_codegen_llvm/src/llvm/ffi.rs (L4-L11)), passing strings and byte slices through FFI is more convenient if we take advantage of the fact that `*const c_uchar` and `*const c_char` have the same ABI.
Doing so avoids having to rely on a special helper function, since we can just call `as_ptr` instead.
(The same logic applies to every other binding that currently uses the `as_c_char_ptr` helper; I just haven't adjusted all of them yet.)

As a drive-by change, this PR also marks some coverage-related FFI bindings as `safe`.
cg_llvm: Replace some DIBuilder wrappers with LLVM-C API bindings (part 5)
- Part of rust-lang/rust#134001
- Follow-up to rust-lang/rust#146673
---
This is another batch of LLVMDIBuilder binding migrations, replacing some our own LLVMRust bindings with bindings to upstream LLVM-C APIs.
Some of these are a little more complex than most of the previous migrations, because they split one LLVMRust binding into multiple LLVM bindings, but nothing too fancy.
This appears to be the last of the low-hanging fruit. As noted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/134001#issuecomment-2524979268, the remaining bindings are difficult or impossible to migrate at present.
cg_llvm: Move target machine command-line quoting from C++ to Rust
When this code was introduced in rust-lang/rust#130446 and rust-lang/rust#131805, it was complicated by the need to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of LLVM.
Now that LLVM 20 is the baseline (rust-lang/rust#145071), we can do all of the quoting in pure Rust code, and pass two flat strings to LLVM to be used as-is.

In this PR, my priority has been to preserve the existing behaviour as much as possible, without worrying too much about what the behaviour *should* be. (Though I did avoid a leading space before the first argument.)
cg_llvm: Replace some DIBuilder wrappers with LLVM-C API bindings (part 3)
- Part of rust-lang/rust#134001
- Follow-up to rust-lang/rust#136375
- Follow-up to rust-lang/rust#136632
---
This is another batch of LLVMDIBuilder binding migrations, replacing some our own LLVMRust bindings with bindings to upstream LLVM-C APIs.
This PR migrates all of the bindings that were touched by rust-lang/rust#136632, plus `LLVMDIBuilderCreateStructType`.
Use captures(address) instead of captures(none) for indirect args
While provenance cannot be captured through these arguments, the address / object identity can.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/137668.
r? `@ghost`
The underlying implementation of `LLVMCreateConstantRangeAttribute` assumes
that each of `LowerWords` and `UpperWords` points to enough u64 values to
define an integer of the specified bit-length, and will encounter UB if that is
not the case.
Our safe wrapper function always passes pointers to `[u64; 2]` arrays,
regardless of the bit-length specified. That's fine in practice, because scalar
primitives never exceed 128 bits, but it is technically a soundness hole in a
safe function.
We can close the soundness hole by explicitly asserting `size_bits <= 128`.
This is effectively just a stricter version of the existing check that the
value must be small enough to fit in `c_uint`.
`&Freeze` parameters are not only `readonly` within the function,
but any captures of the pointer can also only be used for reads.
This can now be encoded using the `captures(address, read_provenance)`
attribute.
Remove `LlvmArchiveBuilder` and supporting code/bindings
Switching over to the newer Rust-based `ArArchiveBuilder` happened in rust-lang/rust#128936, a year ago.
Per the comment in `new_archive_builder`, that seems like enough time to justify removing the older, unused `LlvmArchiveBuilder` implementation and its associated bindings.
Fixesrust-lang/rust#128955.
cg_llvm: Small cleanups to `owned_target_machine`
This PR contains a few tiny cleanups to the `owned_target_machine` code.
Each individual commit should be fairly straightforward.
As noted in the `ffi` module docs, passing pointer/length byte strings from
Rust to C++ is easier if we declare them as `*const c_uchar` on the Rust side,
but `const char *` (possibly signed) on the C++ side. This is allowed because
both pointer types are ABI-compatible, regardless of char signedness.
Set the dead_on_return attribute (added in LLVM 21) for arguments
that are passed indirectly, but not byval.
This indicates that the value of the argument on return does not
matter, enabling additional dead store elimination.
Implement support for `become` and explicit tail call codegen for the LLVM backend
This PR implements codegen of explicit tail calls via `become` in `rustc_codegen_ssa` and support within the LLVM backend. Completes a task on (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/112788). This PR implements all the necessary bits to make explicit tail calls usable, other backends have received stubs for now and will ICE if you use `become` on them. I suspect there is some bikeshedding to be done on how we should go about implementing this for other backends, but it should be relatively straightforward for GCC after this is merged.
During development I also put together a POC bytecode VM based on tail call dispatch to test these changes out and analyze the codegen to make sure it generates expected assembly. That is available [here](https://github.com/xacrimon/tcvm).
gpu offload host code generation
r? ghost
This will generate most of the host side code to use llvm's offload feature.
The first PR will only handle automatic mem-transfers to and from the device.
So if a user calls a kernel, we will copy inputs back and forth, but we won't do the actual kernel launch.
Before merging, we will use LLVM's Info infrastructure to verify that the memcopies match what openmp offloa generates in C++. `LIBOMPTARGET_INFO=-1 ./my_rust_binary` should print that a memcpy to and later from the device is happening.
A follow-up PR will generate the actual device-side kernel which will then do computations on the GPU.
A third PR will implement manual host2device and device2host functionality, but the goal is to minimize cases where a user has to overwrite our default handling due to performance issues.
I'm trying to get a full MVP out first, so this just recognizes GPU functions based on magic names. The final frontend will obviously move this over to use proper macros, like I'm already doing it for the autodiff work.
This work will also be compatible with std::autodiff, so one can differentiate GPU kernels.
