Matthias Krüger a5d38ede1d Rollup merge of #145724 - folkertdev:track-caller-drop-no-mangle, r=fee1-dead
the `#[track_caller]` shim should not inherit `#[no_mangle]`

fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/143162

builds on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143293 which introduced a mechanism to strip attributes from shims.

Summary:

This PR fixes an interaction between `#[track_caller]`, `#[no_mangle]`, and casting to a function pointer.

A function annotated with `#[track_caller]` internally has a hidden extra argument for the panic location. The `#[track_caller]` attribute is only allowed on `extern "Rust"` functions. When a function is annotated with both `#[no_mangle]` and `#[track_caller]`, the exported symbol has the signature that includes the extra panic location argument. This works on stable rust today:

```rust
extern "Rust" {
    #[track_caller]
    fn rust_track_caller_ffi_test_tracked() -> &'static Location<'static>;
}

mod provides {
    use std::panic::Location;
    #[track_caller] // UB if we did not have this!
    #[no_mangle]
    fn rust_track_caller_ffi_test_tracked() -> &'static Location<'static> {
        Location::caller()
    }
}
```

When a `#[track_caller]` function is converted to a function pointer, a shim is added to drop the additional argument. So this is a valid program:

```rust
#[track_caller]
fn foo() {}

fn main() {
    let f = foo as fn();
    f();
}
```

The issue arises when `foo` is additionally annotated with `#[no_mangle]`, the generated shim currently inherits this attribute, also exporting a symbol named `foo`, but one without the hidden panic location argument. The linker rightfully complains about a duplicate symbol.

The solution of this PR is to have the generated shim drop the `#[no_mangle]` attribute.
