BPF target support
This adds `bpfel-unknown-none` and `bpfeb-unknown-none`, two new no_std targets that generate little and big endian BPF. The approach taken is very similar to the cuda target, where `TargetOptions::obj_is_bitcode` is enabled and code generation is done by the linker.
I added the targets to `dist-various-2`. There are [some tests](https://github.com/alessandrod/bpf-linker/tree/main/tests/assembly) in bpf-linker and I'm planning to add more. Those are currently not ran as part of rust CI.
This commit implements the idea of a new ABI for the WebAssembly target,
one called `"wasm"`. This ABI is entirely of my own invention
and has no current precedent, but I think that the addition of this ABI
might help solve a number of issues with the WebAssembly targets.
When `wasm32-unknown-unknown` was first added to Rust I naively
"implemented an abi" for the target. I then went to write `wasm-bindgen`
which accidentally relied on details of this ABI. Turns out the ABI
definition didn't match C, which is causing issues for C/Rust interop.
Currently the compiler has a "wasm32 bindgen compat" ABI which is the
original implementation I added, and it's purely there for, well,
`wasm-bindgen`.
Another issue with the WebAssembly target is that it's not clear to me
when and if the default C ABI will change to account for WebAssembly's
multi-value feature (a feature that allows functions to return multiple
values). Even if this does happen, though, it seems like the C ABI will
be guided based on the performance of WebAssembly code and will likely
not match even what the current wasm-bindgen-compat ABI is today. This
leaves a hole in Rust's expressivity in binding WebAssembly where given
a particular import type, Rust may not be able to import that signature
with an updated C ABI for multi-value.
To fix these issues I had the idea of a new ABI for WebAssembly, one
called `wasm`. The definition of this ABI is "what you write
maps straight to wasm". The goal here is that whatever you write down in
the parameter list or in the return values goes straight into the
function's signature in the WebAssembly file. This special ABI is for
intentionally matching the ABI of an imported function from the
environment or exporting a function with the right signature.
With the addition of a new ABI, this enables rustc to:
* Eventually remove the "wasm-bindgen compat hack". Once this
ABI is stable wasm-bindgen can switch to using it everywhere.
Afterwards the wasm32-unknown-unknown target can have its default ABI
updated to match C.
* Expose the ability to precisely match an ABI signature for a
WebAssembly function, regardless of what the C ABI that clang chooses
turns out to be.
* Continue to evolve the definition of the default C ABI to match what
clang does on all targets, since the purpose of that ABI will be
explicitly matching C rather than generating particular function
imports/exports.
Naturally this is implemented as an unstable feature initially, but it
would be nice for this to get stabilized (if it works) in the near-ish
future to remove the wasm32-unknown-unknown incompatibility with the C
ABI. Doing this, however, requires the feature to be on stable because
wasm-bindgen works with stable Rust.
The frontend shouldn't be deciding whether or not to use mutable
noalias attributes, as this is a pure LLVM concern. Only provide
the necessary information and do the actual decision in
codegen_llvm.
The first argument to an x86-interrupt ABI function was implicitly
treated as byval prior to LLVM 12. Since LLVM 12, it has to be
marked as such explicitly: 2e0e03c6a0
Add a new ABI to support cmse_nonsecure_call
This adds support for the `cmse_nonsecure_call` feature to be able to perform non-secure function call.
See the discussion on Zulip [here](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/Support.20for.20callsite.20attributes/near/223054928).
This is a followup to #75810 which added `cmse_nonsecure_entry`. As for that PR, I assume that the changes are small enough to not have to go through a RFC but I don't mind doing one if needed 😃
I did not yet create a tracking issue, but if most of it is fine, I can create one and update the various files accordingly (they refer to the other tracking issue now).
On the Zulip chat, I believe `@jonas-schievink` volunteered to be a reviewer 💯
Add AArch64 big-endian and ILP32 targets
This PR adds 3 new AArch64 targets:
- `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu`
- `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32`
- `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32`
It also fixes some ABI issues on big-endian ARM and AArch64.
This commit adds a new ABI to be selected via `extern
"C-cmse-nonsecure-call"` on function pointers in order for the compiler to
apply the corresponding cmse_nonsecure_call callsite attribute.
For Armv8-M targets supporting TrustZone-M, this will perform a
non-secure function call by saving, clearing and calling a non-secure
function pointer using the BLXNS instruction.
See the page on the unstable book for details.

This seems right, given that conceptually bools are unsigned, but the
implications of this change may have more action at distance that I'm
not sure how to exhaustively consider.
For instance there are a number of cases where code attaches range
metadata if `scalar.is_bool()` holds. Supposedly it would no longer be
attached to the `repr(i8)` enums? Though I'm not sure why booleans are
being special-cased here in the first place...
Fixes#80556
Abi::ScalarPair is only ever used for types that don't have a stable
layout anyway so this doesn't break any FFI. It does however reduce the
amount of special casing on the abi outside of the code responsible for
abi specific adjustments to the pass mode.
Split a func into cold/hot parts, reducing binary size
I noticed that the Size::bits function is called in many places,
and is inlined into them. On x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, this function
is inlined 527 times, and compiled separately (non-inlined) 3 times.
Each of those inlined calls contains code that panics. This commit
moves the `panic!` call into a separate function and marks that
function with `#[cold]`.
This reduces binary size by 24 KB. Not much, but it's something.
Changes like this often reduce pressure on instruction-caches,
since it reduces the amount of code that is inlined into hot code
paths. Or more precisely, it removes cold code from hot cache lines.
