mk: Hardcode the bootstrap key for each release
Starting with the 1.10.0 release we would like to bootstrap all compilers from
the previous stable release. For example the 1.10.0 compiler should bootstrap
from the literal 1.9.0 release artifacts. To do this, however, we need a way to
enable unstable features temporarily in a stable compiler (as the released
compiler is stable), but it turns out we already have a way to do that!
At compile time the configure script selects a `CFG_BOOTSTRAP_KEY` variable
value and then exports it into the makefiles. If the `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP_KEY`
environment variable is set to this value, then the compiler is allowed to
"cheat" and use unstable features.
This method of choosing the bootstrap key, however, is problematic for the
intention of bootstrapping from the previous release. Each time a 1.9.0 compiler
is created, a new bootstrap key will be selected. That means that the 1.10.0
compiler will only compile from *our* literal release artifacts. Instead
distributions would like to bootstrap from their own compilers, so instead we
simply hardcode the bootstrap key for each release.
This patch uses the same `CFG_FILENAME_EXTRA` value (a hash of the release
string) as the bootstrap key. Consequently all 1.9.0 compilers, no matter where
they are compiled, will have the same bootstrap key. Additionally we won't need
to keep updating this as it'll be based on the release number anyway.
Once the 1.9.0 beta has been created, we can update the 1.10.0 nightly sources
(the `master` branch at that time) to bootstrap from that release using this
hard-coded bootstrap key. We will likely just hardcode into the makefiles what
the previous bootstrap key was and we'll change that whenever the stage0
compiler is updated.

Our `codegen` test suite requires the LLVM `FileCheck` utility but unfortunately
this isn't always available in all custom LLVM roots (e.g. those specified via
`--llvm-root`). This commit adds a `./configure` option called
`--disable-codegen-tests` which will manually disable running these tests. In
the case that this option is passed we can forgo the need for the `FileCheck`
executable. Note that we still require `FileCheck` by default as we will attempt
to run these tests.

mk: A few build fixes for i586-pc-windows-msvc
Detect the triple in the configure script for probing MSVC shenanigans and also
be sure to use `llvm-config` from the build host and not the target when
configuring compiler-rt.
mk: Fix cross-host builds
The change in b20e748 had the unintended consequence of breaking cross-host
builds as we apparently relied on the incorrect definition of this variable in
the makefiles. That change, however, was required to get tests passing so we
couldn't just revert it.
This commit fixes the underlying bug by leaving the "more correct" definition of
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH_ENV_TARGETDIR` (also fixing it with a hardcoded reference to
`CFG_BUILD`) and updating the `RPATH_VAR` definition below. Turned out we
already had special-casing logic for passing `--cfg stage1` during the
well-we-print-this-as-stage0 build of a cross-host. That logic was just updated
to pull from a different variable as opposed to relying on the definition of
that variable to accommodate this.

This should re-enable all external builds of crates with the same name. Right
now Cargo doesn't pass `-C metadata` for the top-level library being compiled,
so if that library is called `libc`, for example, then it won't be able to link
to the standard library which *also* has a `libc` library compiled without `-C
metadata`. This can result in naming conflicts which need to be resolved.
By passing `-C metadata` to the in-tree crates we ship it should add some extra
salt to all symbol names to ensure that they don't collide.

doing this well required some refactoring of the code, so I cleaned it
up more generally (adding comments to explain what its trying to do
and how it is doing it).

the ones that were largely mechanical changes), but I left the more
interesting revisions to separate followup commits (in this same PR).
typestrong const integers
~~It would be great if someone could run crater on this PR, as this has a high danger of breaking valid code~~ Crater ran. Good to go.

So this PR does a few things:
1. ~~const eval array values when const evaluating an array expression~~
2. ~~const eval repeat value when const evaluating a repeat expression~~
3. ~~const eval all struct and tuple fields when evaluating a struct/tuple expression~~
4. remove the `ConstVal::Int` and `ConstVal::Uint` variants and replace them with a single enum (`ConstInt`) which has variants for all integral types
* `usize`/`isize` are also enums with variants for 32 and 64 bit. At creation and various usage steps there are assertions in place checking if the target bitwidth matches with the chosen enum variant
5. enum discriminants (`ty::Disr`) are now `ConstInt`
6. trans has its own `Disr` type now (newtype around `u64`)
This obviously can't be done without breaking changes (the ones that are noticable in stable)
We could probably write lints that find those situations and error on it for a cycle or two. But then again, those situations are rare and really bugs imo anyway:
```rust
let v10 = 10 as i8;
let v4 = 4 as isize;
assert_eq!(v10 << v4 as usize, 160 as i8);
```
stops compiling because 160 is not a valid i8
```rust
struct S<T, S> {
a: T,
b: u8,
c: S
}
let s = S { a: 0xff_ff_ff_ffu32, b: 1, c: 0xaa_aa_aa_aa as i32 };
```
stops compiling because `0xaa_aa_aa_aa` is not a valid i32

Add a link validator to rustbuild
This commit was originally targeted at just adding a link checking script to the rustbuild system. This ended up snowballing a bit to extend rustbuild to be amenable to various tools we have as part of the build system in general.
There's a new `src/tools` directory which has a number of scripts/programs that are purely intended to be used as part of the build system and CI of this repository. This is currently inhabited by rustbook, the error index generator, and a new linkchecker script added as part of this PR. I suspect that more tools like compiletest, tidy scripts, snapshot scripts, etc will migrate their way into this directory over time.
The commit which adds the error index generator shows the steps necessary to add new tools to the build system, namely:
1. New steps are defined for building the tool and running the tool
2. The dependencies are configured
3. The steps are implemented
In terms of the link checker, these commits do a few things:
* A new `src/tools/linkchecker` script is added. This will read an entire documentation tree looking for broken relative links (HTTP links aren't followed yet).
* A large number of broken links throughout the documentation were fixed. Many of these were just broken when viewed from core as opposed to std, but were easily fixed.
* A few rustdoc bugs here and there were fixed

The `--disable-jemalloc` configure option has a failure mode where it will
create a distribution that is not compatible with other compilers. For example
the nightly for Linux will assume that it will link to jemalloc by default as
an allocator for executable crates. If, however, a standard library is used
which was built via `./configure --disable-jemalloc` then this will fail
because the jemalloc crate wasn't built.
While this seems somewhat reasonable as a niche situation, the same mechanism is
used for disabling jemalloc for platforms that just don't support it. For
example if the rumprun target is compiled then the sibiling Linux target *also*
doesn't have jemalloc. This is currently a problem for our cross-build nightlies
which build many targets. If rumprun is also built, it will disable jemalloc for
all targets, which isn't desired.
This commit moves the platform-specific disabling of jemalloc as hardcoded logic
into the makefiles that is scoped per-platform. This way when configuring
multiple targets **without the `--disable-jemalloc` option specified** all
targets will get jemalloc as they should.

You can now group tests into directories like `run-pass/borrowck` or `compile-fail/borrowck`. By default, all `.rs` files within any directory are considered tests: to ignore some directory, create a placeholder file called `compiletest-ignore-dir` (I had to do this for several existing directories).

This is because the tool compiler passes the name of the tool
as a command line `--cfg`. The improved session config parser
is stricter and no longer permits invalid meta items (such as
"error-index-generator").
Now that we properly only link in jemalloc when building executables, we have
far less to worry about in terms of polluting the global namespace with the
`free` and `malloc` symbols on Linux. This commit will primarily allow LLVM to
use jemalloc so the compiler will only be using one allocator overall.
Locally this took compile time for libsyntax from 95 seconds to 89 (a 6%
improvement).

I still need to add error code explanation test with this, but I can't figure out a way to generate the `.md` files in order to test example source codes.
Will fix#27328.
When building with Cargo we need to detect `feature = "jemalloc"` to enable
jemalloc, so propagate this same change to the build system to pass the right
`--cfg` argument.
Backtraces, and the compilation of libbacktrace for asmjs, are disabled.
This port doesn't use jemalloc so, like pnacl, it disables jemalloc *for all targets*
in the configure file.
It disables stack protection.
Without this patch, `compiler-rt` fails to build when the `CFLAGS` environment variable contains a `-Werror=*` flag (for example `-Werror=format-security`).
The build system was removing only the `-Werror` part from the flag, thus passing an unrecognized `=*` (for example `=format-security`) argument to gcc.

Currently any compilation to MIPS spits out the warning:
'generic' is not a recognized processor for this target (ignoring processor)
Doesn't make for a great user experience! We don't encounter this in the normal
bootstrap because the cpu/feature set are set by the makefiles. Instead let's
just propagate these to the defaults for the entire target all the time (still
overridable from the command line) and prevent warnings from being emitted by
default.
This target covers MIPS devices that run the trunk version of OpenWRT.
The x86_64-unknown-linux-musl target always links statically to C libraries. For
the mips(el)-unknown-linux-musl target, we opt for dynamic linking (like most of
other targets do) to keep binary size down.
As for the C compiler flags used in the build system, we use the same flags used
for the mips(el)-unknown-linux-gnu target.

These commits perform a few high-level changes with the goal of enabling i686 MSVC unwinding:
* LLVM is upgraded to pick up the new exception handling instructions and intrinsics for MSVC. This puts us somewhere along the 3.8 branch, but we should still be compatible with LLVM 3.7 for non-MSVC targets.
* All unwinding for MSVC targets (both 32 and 64-bit) are implemented in terms of this new LLVM support. I would like to also extend this to Windows GNU targets to drop the runtime dependencies we have on MinGW, but I'd like to land this first.
* Some tests were fixed up for i686 MSVC here and there where necessary. The full test suite should be passing now for that target.
In terms of landing this I plan to have this go through first, then verify that i686 MSVC works, then I'll enable `make check` on the bots for that target instead of just `make` as-is today.

The purpose of the translation item collector is to find all monomorphic instances of functions, methods and statics that need to be translated into LLVM IR in order to compile the current crate.
So far these instances have been discovered lazily during the trans path. For incremental compilation we want to know the set of these instances in advance, and that is what the trans::collect module provides.
In the future, incremental and regular translation will be driven by the collector implemented here.

Translation Item Collection
===========================
This module is responsible for discovering all items that will contribute to
to code generation of the crate. The important part here is that it not only
needs to find syntax-level items (functions, structs, etc) but also all
their monomorphized instantiations. Every non-generic, non-const function
maps to one LLVM artifact. Every generic function can produce
from zero to N artifacts, depending on the sets of type arguments it
is instantiated with.
This also applies to generic items from other crates: A generic definition
in crate X might produce monomorphizations that are compiled into crate Y.
We also have to collect these here.
The following kinds of "translation items" are handled here:
- Functions
- Methods
- Closures
- Statics
- Drop glue
The following things also result in LLVM artifacts, but are not collected
here, since we instantiate them locally on demand when needed in a given
codegen unit:
- Constants
- Vtables
- Object Shims
General Algorithm
-----------------
Let's define some terms first:
- A "translation item" is something that results in a function or global in
the LLVM IR of a codegen unit. Translation items do not stand on their
own, they can reference other translation items. For example, if function
`foo()` calls function `bar()` then the translation item for `foo()`
references the translation item for function `bar()`. In general, the
definition for translation item A referencing a translation item B is that
the LLVM artifact produced for A references the LLVM artifact produced
for B.
- Translation items and the references between them for a directed graph,
where the translation items are the nodes and references form the edges.
Let's call this graph the "translation item graph".
- The translation item graph for a program contains all translation items
that are needed in order to produce the complete LLVM IR of the program.
The purpose of the algorithm implemented in this module is to build the
translation item graph for the current crate. It runs in two phases:
1. Discover the roots of the graph by traversing the HIR of the crate.
2. Starting from the roots, find neighboring nodes by inspecting the MIR
representation of the item corresponding to a given node, until no more
new nodes are found.
The roots of the translation item graph correspond to the non-generic
syntactic items in the source code. We find them by walking the HIR of the
crate, and whenever we hit upon a function, method, or static item, we
create a translation item consisting of the items DefId and, since we only
consider non-generic items, an empty type-substitution set.
Given a translation item node, we can discover neighbors by inspecting its
MIR. We walk the MIR and any time we hit upon something that signifies a
reference to another translation item, we have found a neighbor. Since the
translation item we are currently at is always monomorphic, we also know the
concrete type arguments of its neighbors, and so all neighbors again will be
monomorphic. The specific forms a reference to a neighboring node can take
in MIR are quite diverse. Here is an overview:
The most obvious form of one translation item referencing another is a
function or method call (represented by a CALL terminator in MIR). But
calls are not the only thing that might introduce a reference between two
function translation items, and as we will see below, they are just a
specialized of the form described next, and consequently will don't get any
special treatment in the algorithm.
A function does not need to actually be called in order to be a neighbor of
another function. It suffices to just take a reference in order to introduce
an edge. Consider the following example:
```rust
fn print_val<T: Display>(x: T) {
println!("{}", x);
}
fn call_fn(f: &Fn(i32), x: i32) {
f(x);
}
fn main() {
let print_i32 = print_val::<i32>;
call_fn(&print_i32, 0);
}
```
The MIR of none of these functions will contain an explicit call to
`print_val::<i32>`. Nonetheless, in order to translate this program, we need
an instance of this function. Thus, whenever we encounter a function or
method in operand position, we treat it as a neighbor of the current
translation item. Calls are just a special case of that.
In a way, closures are a simple case. Since every closure object needs to be
constructed somewhere, we can reliably discover them by observing
`RValue::Aggregate` expressions with `AggregateKind::Closure`. This is also
true for closures inlined from other crates.
Drop glue translation items are introduced by MIR drop-statements. The
generated translation item will again have drop-glue item neighbors if the
type to be dropped contains nested values that also need to be dropped. It
might also have a function item neighbor for the explicit `Drop::drop`
implementation of its type.
A subtle way of introducing neighbor edges is by casting to a trait object.
Since the resulting fat-pointer contains a reference to a vtable, we need to
instantiate all object-save methods of the trait, as we need to store
pointers to these functions even if they never get called anywhere. This can
be seen as a special case of taking a function reference.
Since `Box` expression have special compiler support, no explicit calls to
`exchange_malloc()` and `exchange_free()` may show up in MIR, even if the
compiler will generate them. We have to observe `Rvalue::Box` expressions
and Box-typed drop-statements for that purpose.
Interaction with Cross-Crate Inlining
-------------------------------------
The binary of a crate will not only contain machine code for the items
defined in the source code of that crate. It will also contain monomorphic
instantiations of any extern generic functions and of functions marked with
The collection algorithm handles this more or less transparently. When
constructing a neighbor node for an item, the algorithm will always call
`inline::get_local_instance()` before proceeding. If no local instance can
be acquired (e.g. for a function that is just linked to) no node is created;
which is exactly what we want, since no machine code should be generated in
the current crate for such an item. On the other hand, if we can
successfully inline the function, we subsequently can just treat it like a
local item, walking it's MIR et cetera.
Eager and Lazy Collection Mode
------------------------------
Translation item collection can be performed in one of two modes:
- Lazy mode means that items will only be instantiated when actually
referenced. The goal is to produce the least amount of machine code
possible.
- Eager mode is meant to be used in conjunction with incremental compilation
where a stable set of translation items is more important than a minimal
one. Thus, eager mode will instantiate drop-glue for every drop-able type
in the crate, even of no drop call for that type exists (yet). It will
also instantiate default implementations of trait methods, something that
otherwise is only done on demand.
Open Issues
-----------
Some things are not yet fully implemented in the current version of this
module.
Since no MIR is constructed yet for initializer expressions of constants and
statics we cannot inspect these properly.
Ideally, no translation item should be generated for const fns unless there
is a call to them that cannot be evaluated at compile time. At the moment
this is not implemented however: a translation item will be produced
regardless of whether it is actually needed or not.

compile, however, as currently we're just compiling jemalloc and not much else.
The purpose of the translation item collector is to find all monomorphic instances of functions, methods and statics that need to be translated into LLVM IR in order to compile the current crate.
So far these instances have been discovered lazily during the trans path. For incremental compilation we want to know the set of these instances in advance, and that is what the trans::collect module provides.
In the future, incremental and regular translation will be driven by the collector implemented here.
This commit removes the `-D warnings` flag being passed through the makefiles to
all crates to instead be a crate attribute. We want these attributes always
applied for all our standard builds, and this is more amenable to Cargo-based
builds as well.
Note that all `deny(warnings)` attributes are gated with a `cfg(stage0)`
attribute currently to match the same semantics we have today
