rustc_target reexports a lot of things that are in rustc_abi, but
that will be over soon and now is probably a good time to switch.
Uses of rustc_target remain where they inquire about the target tuple.
expand: Stop using artificial `ast::Item` for macros loaded from metadata
You don't need a full `Item` for that, and not using a piece of AST helps with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/131808.
allow type-based search on foreign functions
fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131804
preferably will be merged after #129708, but that may take a while to be approved due to being a new feature, whereas this is definitely a bug, and should be fixed.
Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
rustdoc: Document `markdown` module.
Rustdoc markdown handling is currently split between:
- html::markdown, which contains all the meaty login
- markdown, which is only used for when rustdoc renders a standalone markdown file
Adds module-level doc-comment to markdown, and rename the function so it's clear that it's doing IO (instead of just rendering to a string).
rustdoc: Clean up footnote handling
Best reviewed commit by commit.
Extracts footnote handling logic into it's own file (first commit) and then makes that file slightly nicer to read/understand.
No functional changes, but lays the groundwork for making more changes to footnotes (eg #131901, #131946)

[rustdoc] Remove intra-doc links dead code
While working on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130278, I wondered what `resolve_display_text` was doing. I removed it and ran all rustdoc tests, and nothing failed. Are some intra-doc links tests missing or is it really dead code? Couldn't figure it out.

Make opaque types regular HIR nodes
Having opaque types as HIR owner introduces all sorts of complications. This PR proposes to make them regular HIR nodes instead.
I haven't gone through all the test changes yet, so there may be a few surprises.
Many thanks to `@camelid` for the first draft.

rustdoc: rewrite stability inheritance as a doc pass
Since doc inlining can almost arbitrarily change the module hierarchy, we can't just use the HIR ancestors of an item to compute its effective stability. This PR moves the stability inheritance that I implemented in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130798 into a new doc pass `propagate-stability` that runs after doc inlining and uses the post-inlining ancestors of an item to correctly compute its effective stability.
