Nobody seems to actually use this, while still adding some extra
complexity to the already rather complex codegen coordinator code.
It is also not supported by any backend other than the LLVM backend.
Various refactors to the LTO handling code
In particular reducing the sharing of code paths between fat and thin-LTO and making the fat LTO implementation more self-contained. This also moves some autodiff handling out of cg_ssa into cg_llvm given that Enzyme only works with LLVM anyway and an implementation for another backend may do things entirely differently. This will also make it a bit easier to split LTO handling out of the coordinator thread main loop into a separate loop, which should reduce the complexity of the coordinator thread.
Most uses of it either contain a fat or thin lto module. Only
WorkItem::LTO could contain both, but splitting that enum variant
doesn't complicate things much.
Move metadata object generation for dylibs to the linker code
This deduplicates some code between codegen backends and may in the future allow adding extra metadata that is only known at link time.
Prerequisite of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/96708.
There is no safety contract and I don't think any of them can actually
cause UB in more ways than passing malicious source code to rustc can.
While LtoModuleCodegen::optimize says that the returned ModuleCodegen
points into the LTO module, the LTO module has already been dropped by
the time this function returns, so if the returned ModuleCodegen indeed
points into the LTO module, we would have seen crashes on every LTO
compilation, which we don't. As such the comment is outdated.
make `rustc_attr_parsing` less dominant in the rustc crate graph
It has/had a glob re-export of `rustc_attr_data_structures`, which is a crate much lower in the graph, and a lot of crates were using it *just* (or *mostly*) for that re-export, while they can rely on `rustc_attr_data_structures` directly.
Previous graph:
Graph with this PR:
The first commit keeps the re-export, and just changes the dependency if possible. The second commit is the "breaking change" which removes the re-export, and "explicitly" adds the `rustc_attr_data_structures` dependency where needed. It also switches over some src/tools/*.
The second commit is actually a lot more involved than I expected. Please let me know if it's a better idea to back it out and just keep the first commit.
Support for `f16` and `f128` is varied across targets, backends, and
backend versions. Eventually we would like to reach a point where all
backends support these approximately equally, but until then we have to
work around some of these nuances of support being observable.
Introduce the `cfg_target_has_reliable_f16_f128` internal feature, which
provides the following new configuration gates:
* `cfg(target_has_reliable_f16)`
* `cfg(target_has_reliable_f16_math)`
* `cfg(target_has_reliable_f128)`
* `cfg(target_has_reliable_f128_math)`
`reliable_f16` and `reliable_f128` indicate that basic arithmetic for
the type works correctly. The `_math` versions indicate that anything
relying on `libm` works correctly, since sometimes this hits a separate
class of codegen bugs.
These options match configuration set by the build script at [1]. The
logic for LLVM support is duplicated as-is from the same script. There
are a few possible updates that will come as a follow up.
The config introduced here is not planned to ever become stable, it is
only intended to replace the build scripts for `std` tests and
`compiler-builtins` that don't have any way to configure based on the
codegen backend.

[1]: 555e1d0386/library/std/build.rs (L84-L186)
Currently it is called twice, once with `allow_unstable` set to true and
once with it set to false. This results in some duplicated work. Most
notably, for the LLVM backend, `LLVMRustHasFeature` is called twice for
every feature, and it's moderately slow. For very short running
compilations on platforms with many features (e.g. a `check` build of
hello-world on x86) this is a significant fraction of runtime.
This commit changes `target_features_cfg` so it is only called once, and
it now returns a pair of feature sets. This halves the number of
`LLVMRustHasFeature` calls.
Stop using `hash_raw_entry` in `CodegenCx::const_str`
That unstable feature (#56167) completed fcp-close, so the compiler needs to be
migrated away to allow its removal. In this case, `cg_llvm` and `cg_gcc`
were using raw entries to optimize their `const_str_cache` lookup and
insertion. We can change that to separate `get` and (on miss) `insert`
calls, so we still have the fast path avoiding string allocation when
the cache hits.

Separate Builder methods from tcx
As part of the autodiff upstreaming we noticed, that it would be nice to have various builder methods available without the TypeContext, which prevents the normal CodegenCx to be passed around between threads.
We introduce a SimpleCx which just owns the llvm module and llvm context, to encapsulate them.
The previous CodegenCx now implements deref and forwards access to the llvm module or context to it's SimpleCx sub-struct. This gives us a bit more flexibility, because now we can pass (or construct) the SimpleCx in locations where we don't have enough information to construct a CodegenCx, or are not able to pass it around due to the tcx lifetimes (and it not implementing send/sync).
This also introduces an SBuilder, similar to the SimpleCx. The SBuilder uses a SimpleCx, whereas the existing Builder uses the larger CodegenCx. I will push updates to make implementations generic (where possible) to be implemented once and work for either of the two. I'll also clean up the leftover code.
`call` is a bit tricky, because it requires a tcx, I probably need to duplicate it after all.

As a side effect this should add raw-dylib support to cg_gcc as the
default ArchiveBuilderBuilder that is used implements
create_dll_import_lib. I haven't tested if the raw-dylib support
actually works however.
