rustc: Stabilize `-Zrun-dsymutil` as `-Csplit-debuginfo`
This commit adds a new stable codegen option to rustc,
`-Csplit-debuginfo`. The old `-Zrun-dsymutil` flag is deleted and now
subsumed by this stable flag. Additionally `-Zsplit-dwarf` is also
subsumed by this flag but still requires `-Zunstable-options` to
actually activate. The `-Csplit-debuginfo` flag takes one of
three values:
* `off` - This indicates that split-debuginfo from the final artifact is
not desired. This is not supported on Windows and is the default on
Unix platforms except macOS. On macOS this means that `dsymutil` is
not executed.
* `packed` - This means that debuginfo is desired in one location
separate from the main executable. This is the default on Windows
(`*.pdb`) and macOS (`*.dSYM`). On other Unix platforms this subsumes
`-Zsplit-dwarf=single` and produces a `*.dwp` file.
* `unpacked` - This means that debuginfo will be roughly equivalent to
object files, meaning that it's throughout the build directory
rather than in one location (often the fastest for local development).
This is not the default on any platform and is not supported on Windows.
Each target can indicate its own default preference for how debuginfo is
handled. Almost all platforms default to `off` except for Windows and
macOS which default to `packed` for historical reasons.
Some equivalencies for previous unstable flags with the new flags are:
* `-Zrun-dsymutil=yes` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`
* `-Zrun-dsymutil=no` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`
* `-Zsplit-dwarf=single` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`
* `-Zsplit-dwarf=split` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`
Note that `-Csplit-debuginfo` still requires `-Zunstable-options` for
non-macOS platforms since split-dwarf support was *just* implemented in
rustc.
There's some more rationale listed on #79361, but the main gist of the
motivation for this commit is that `dsymutil` can take quite a long time
to execute in debug builds and provides little benefit. This means that
incremental compile times appear that much worse on macOS because the
compiler is constantly running `dsymutil` over every single binary it
produces during `cargo build` (even build scripts!). Ideally rustc would
switch to not running `dsymutil` by default, but that's a problem left
to get tackled another day.
Closes#79361

The cargo check was checking that every dependency had an `extern crate`.
The compiler has not used `extern crate` in a long time (edition 2018).
The test was broken (the call to `!super::filter_dirs(path)` was backwards).
This just removes it since it is no longer valid.
make MIR graphviz generation use gsgdt
gsgdt [https://crates.io/crates/gsgdt] is a crate which provides an
interface for stringly typed graphs. It also provides generation of
graphviz dot format from said graph.
This is the first in a series of PRs on moving graphviz code out of rustc into normal crates and then implementating graph diffing on top of these crates.

Add support for SHA256 source file hashing
Adds support for `-Z src-hash-algorithm sha256`, which became available in LLVM 11.
Using an older version of LLVM will cause an error `invalid checksum kind` if the hash algorithm is set to sha256.

Add cg_clif as optional codegen backend
Rustc_codegen_cranelift is an alternative codegen backend for rustc based on Cranelift. It has the potential to improve compilation times in debug mode. In my experience the compile time improvements over debug mode LLVM for a clean build are about 20-30% in most cases.
This PR adds cg_clif as optional codegen backend. By default it is only enabled for `./x.py check`. It can be enabled for `./x.py build` too by adding `cranelift` to the `rust.codegen-backends` array in `config.toml`.

Introduce expect snapshot testing library into rustc
Snapshot testing is a technique for writing maintainable unit tests.
Unlike usual `assert_eq!` tests, snapshot tests allow
to *automatically* upgrade expected values on test failure.
In a sense, snapshot tests are inline-version of our beloved
UI-tests.
Example:
A particular library we use, `expect_test` provides an `expect!`
macro, which creates a sort of self-updating string literal (by using
`file!` macro). Self-update is triggered by setting `UPDATE_EXPECT`
environmental variable (this info is printed during the test failure).
This library was extracted from rust-analyzer, where we use it for
most of our tests.
There are some other, more popular snapshot testing libraries:
* https://github.com/mitsuhiko/insta
* https://github.com/aaronabramov/k9
The main differences of `expect` are:
* first-class snapshot objects (so, tests can be written as functions,
rather than as macros)
* focus on inline-snapshots (but file snapshots are also supported)
* restricted feature set (only `assert_eq` and `assert_debug_eq`)
* no extra runtime (ie, no `cargo insta`)
See rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer#5101 for a
an extended comparison.
It is unclear if this testing style will stick with rustc in the long
run. At the moment, rustc is mainly tested via integrated UI tests.
But in the library-ified world, unit-tests will become somewhat more
important (that's why use use `rustc_lexer` library-ified library as
an example in this PR). Given that the cost of removal shouldn't be
too high, it probably makes sense to just see if this flies!

This commit is a proof-of-concept for switching the standard library's
backtrace symbolication mechanism on most platforms from libbacktrace to
gimli. The standard library's support for `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` requires
in-process parsing of object files and DWARF debug information to
interpret it and print the filename/line number of stack frames as part
of a backtrace.
Historically this support in the standard library has come from a
library called "libbacktrace". The libbacktrace library seems to have
been extracted from gcc at some point and is written in C. We've had a
lot of issues with libbacktrace over time, unfortunately, though. The
library does not appear to be actively maintained since we've had
patches sit for months-to-years without comments. We have discovered a
good number of soundness issues with the library itself, both when
parsing valid DWARF as well as invalid DWARF. This is enough of an issue
that the libs team has previously decided that we cannot feed untrusted
inputs to libbacktrace. This also doesn't take into account the
portability of libbacktrace which has been difficult to manage and
maintain over time. While possible there are lots of exceptions and it's
the main C dependency of the standard library right now.
For years it's been the desire to switch over to a Rust-based solution
for symbolicating backtraces. It's been assumed that we'll be using the
Gimli family of crates for this purpose, which are targeted at safely
and efficiently parsing DWARF debug information. I've been working
recently to shore up the Gimli support in the `backtrace` crate. As of a
few weeks ago the `backtrace` crate, by default, uses Gimli when loaded
from crates.io. This transition has gone well enough that I figured it
was time to start talking seriously about this change to the standard
library.
This commit is a preview of what's probably the best way to integrate
the `backtrace` crate into the standard library with the Gimli feature
turned on. While today it's used as a crates.io dependency, this commit
switches the `backtrace` crate to a submodule of this repository which
will need to be updated manually. This is not done lightly, but is
thought to be the best solution. The primary reason for this is that the
`backtrace` crate needs to do some pretty nontrivial filesystem
interactions to locate debug information. Working without `std::fs` is
not an option, and while it might be possible to do some sort of
trait-based solution when prototyped it was found to be too unergonomic.
Using a submodule allows the `backtrace` crate to build as a submodule
of the `std` crate itself, enabling it to use `std::fs` and such.
Otherwise this adds new dependencies to the standard library. This step
requires extra attention because this means that these crates are now
going to be included with all Rust programs by default. It's important
to note, however, that we're already shipping libbacktrace with all Rust
programs by default and it has a bunch of C code implementing all of
this internally anyway, so we're basically already switching
already-shipping functionality to Rust from C.
* `object` - this crate is used to parse object file headers and
contents. Very low-level support is used from this crate and almost
all of it is disabled. Largely we're just using struct definitions as
well as convenience methods internally to read bytes and such.
* `addr2line` - this is the main meat of the implementation for
symbolication. This crate depends on `gimli` for DWARF parsing and
then provides interfaces needed by the `backtrace` crate to turn an
address into a filename / line number. This crate is actually pretty
small (fits in a single file almost!) and mirrors most of what
`dwarf.c` does for libbacktrace.
* `miniz_oxide` - the libbacktrace crate transparently handles
compressed debug information which is compressed with zlib. This crate
is used to decompress compressed debug sections.
* `gimli` - not actually used directly, but a dependency of `addr2line`.
* `adler32`- not used directly either, but a dependency of
`miniz_oxide`.
The goal of this change is to improve the safety of backtrace
symbolication in the standard library, especially in the face of
possibly malformed DWARF debug information. Even to this day we're still
seeing segfaults in libbacktrace which could possibly become security
vulnerabilities. This change should almost entirely eliminate this
possibility whilc also paving the way forward to adding more features
like split debug information.
Some references for those interested are:
* Original addition of libbacktrace - #12602
* OOM with libbacktrace - #24231
* Backtrace failure due to use of uninitialized value - #28447
* Possibility to feed untrusted data to libbacktrace - #21889
* Soundness fix for libbacktrace - #33729
* Crash in libbacktrace - #39468
* Support for macOS, never merged - ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace#2
* Performance issues with libbacktrace - #29293, #37477
* Update procedure is quite complicated due to how many patches we
need to carry - #50955
* Libbacktrace doesn't work on MinGW with dynamic libs - #71060
* Segfault in libbacktrace on macOS - #71397
Switching to Rust will not make us immune to all of these issues. The
crashes are expected to go away, but correctness and performance may
still have bugs arise. The gimli and `backtrace` crates, however, are
actively maintained unlike libbacktrace, so this should enable us to at
least efficiently apply fixes as situations come up.
rustc_metadata: Make crate loading fully speculative
Instead of reporting `span_err`s on the spot crate loading errors are now wrapped into the `CrateError` enum and returned, so they are reported only at the top level `resolve_crate` call, and not reported at all if we are resolving speculatively with `maybe_resolve_crate`.
As a result we can attempt loading crates for error recovery (e.g. import suggestions) without any risk of producing extra errors.
Also, this means better separation between error reporting and actual logic.
