cg_llvm: Use LLVM-C bindings for `LLVMSetTailCallKind`, `LLVMGetTypeKind`
This PR replaces two existing `LLVMRust` bindings with equivalent calls to the LLVM-C API.
For `LLVMGetTypeKind`, we avoid the UB hazard by declaring the foreign function to return `RawEnum<TypeKind>` (which is a wrapper around `u32`), and then perform checked conversion from `u32` to `TypeKind`.
llvm: Accept new LLVM lifetime format
In llvm/llvm-project#150248 LLVM removed the size parameter from the lifetime format. Tolerate not having that size parameter.
atomicrmw on pointers: move integer-pointer cast hacks into backend
Conceptually, we want to have atomic operations on pointers of the form `fn atomic_add(ptr: *mut T, offset: usize, ...)`. However, LLVM does not directly support such operations (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/120837), so we have to cast the `offset` to a pointer somewhere.
This PR moves that hack into the LLVM backend, so that the standard library, intrinsic, and Miri all work with the conceptual operation we actually want. Hopefully, one day LLVM will gain a way to represent these operations without integer-pointer casts, and then the hack will disappear entirely.
Cc ```@nikic``` -- this is the best we can do right now, right?

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).
As with `DIBuilderBox`, the "Box" suffix does a better job of communicating
that this is an owning pointer to some borrowable resource.
This also renames the `raw` method to `as_ref`, which is what it would have
been named originally if the `Deref` problem had been known at the time.
mitigate MSVC alignment issue on x86-32
This implements mitigation for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/112480 by stopping to emit `align` attributes on loads and function arguments when building for a win32 MSVC target. MSVC is known to not properly align `u64` and similar types, and claiming to LLVM that everything is properly aligned increases the chance that this will cause problems.
Of course, the misalignment is still a bug, but we can't fix that bug, only MSVC can.
Also add an errata note to the platform support page warning users about this known problem.

Lower BinOp::Cmp to llvm.{s,u}cmp.* intrinsics
Lowers `mir::BinOp::Cmp` (`three_way_compare` intrinsic) to the corresponding LLVM `llvm.{s,u}cmp.i8.*` intrinsics.
These are the intrinsics mentioned in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118310, which are now available in LLVM 19.
I couldn't find any follow-up PRs/discussions about this, please let me know if I missed something.

Clean up various LLVM FFI things in codegen_llvm
cc ```@ZuseZ4``` I touched some autodiff parts
The major change of this PR is [bfd88ce](bfd88cead0) which makes `CodegenCx` generic just like `GenericBuilder`
The other commits mostly took advantage of the new feature of making extern functions safe, but also just used some wrappers that were already there and shrunk unsafe blocks.
best reviewed commit-by-commit
`rustc_codegen_llvm` relied on `Deref` impls where `Deref::Target` was
or contained an extern type - in my experimental implementation of
rust-lang/rfcs#3729, this isn't possible as the `Target` associated
type's `?Sized` bound cannot be relaxed backwards compatibly (unless we
come up with some way of doing this).
In later pull requests with the rust-lang/rfcs#3729 implementation,
breakage like this could only occur for nightly users relying on the
`extern_types` feature.
Upstreaming this to avoid needing to keep carrying this patch locally,
and I think it'll necessarily need to change eventually.
Emit getelementptr inbounds nuw for pointer::add()
Lower pointer::add (via intrinsic::offset with unsigned offset) to getelementptr inbounds nuw on LLVM versions that support it. This lets LLVM make use of the pre-condition that the offset addition does not wrap in an unsigned sense. Together with inbounds, this also implies that the offset is non-negative.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/137217.
- For shifts this shrinks the IR by no longer needing an `assume` while still providing the UB information
- Having this on the `i8`→`i1` truncations will hopefully help with some places that have to load `i8`s or pass those in LLVM structs without range information
improve cold_path()
#120370 added a new instrinsic `cold_path()` and used it to fix `likely` and `unlikely`
However, in order to limit scope, the information about cold code paths is only used in 2-target switch instructions. This is sufficient for `likely` and `unlikely`, but limits usefulness of `cold_path` for idiomatic rust. For example, code like this:
```
if let Some(x) = y { ... }
```
may generate 3-target switch:
```
switch y.discriminator:
0 => true branch
1 = > false branch
_ => unreachable
```
and therefore marking a branch as cold will have no effect.
This PR improves `cold_path()` to work with arbitrary switch instructions.
Note that for 2-target switches, we can use `llvm.expect`, but for multiple targets we need to manually emit branch weights. I checked Clang and it also emits weights in this situation. The Clang's weight calculation is more complex that this PR, which I believe is mainly because `switch` in `C/C++` can have multiple cases going to the same target.
