Many aarch64 targets without LSE in the baseline enable the
`outline-atomics` feature, which uses runtime detection of LSE for its
faster atomic ops. This provides nontrivial performance improvements on
most hardware from the past decade, at a small cost to anything pre-LSE.
This matches what Clang does [1].

LLVM has added 3 new address spaces to support special Windows use
cases. These shouldn't trouble us for now, but LLVM requires matching
data layouts.
See llvm/llvm-project#111879 for details
LLVM has updated data layouts to specify `Fn32` on 64-bit ARM to avoid
C++ accidentally underaligning functions when trying to comply with
member function ABIs.
This should only affect Rust in cases where we had a similar bug (I
don't believe we have one), but our data layout must match to generate
code.
As a compatibility adaptatation, if LLVM is not version 19 yet, `Fn32`
gets voided from the data layout.
See llvm/llvm-project#90415
This adds four pieces of metadata to every target:
- description
- tier
- host tools
- std
This information is currently scattered across target docs and both
- not machine readable, making validation harder
- sometimes subtly encoding by the table it's in, causing mistakes and
making it harder to review changes to the properties
By putting it in the compiler, we improve this. Later, we will use this
canonical information to generate target documentation from it.
This is the short description (`64-bit MinGW (Windows 7+)`) including
the platform requirements.
The reason for doing it like this is that this PR will be quite prone to
conflicts whenever targets get added, so it should be as simple as
possible to get it merged. Future PRs which migrate targets are scoped
to groups of targets, so they will not conflict as they can just touch
these.
This moves some of the information from the rustc book into the
compiler.
It cannot be queried yet, that is future work. It is also future work to
fill out all the descriptions, which will coincide with the work of
moving over existing target docs to the new format.
