pass --gc-sections if -Zexport-executable-symbols is enabled and improve tests
Exported symbols are added as GC roots in linking, so `--gc-sections` won't hurt `-Zexport-executable-symbols`.
Fixes the run-make test to work on Linux. Enable the ui test on more targets.

Various refactors to the LTO handling code
In particular reducing the sharing of code paths between fat and thin-LTO and making the fat LTO implementation more self-contained. This also moves some autodiff handling out of cg_ssa into cg_llvm given that Enzyme only works with LLVM anyway and an implementation for another backend may do things entirely differently. This will also make it a bit easier to split LTO handling out of the coordinator thread main loop into a separate loop, which should reduce the complexity of the coordinator thread.
use `--dynamic-list` for exporting executable symbols
closesrust-lang/rust#101610
cc rust-lang/rust#84161https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.39/ld/VERSION.html:
> --dynamic-list=dynamic-list-file
Specify the name of a dynamic list file to the linker. This is typically used when creating shared libraries to specify a list of global symbols whose references shouldn’t be bound to the definition within the shared library, or creating dynamically linked executables to specify a list of symbols which should be added to the symbol table in the executable. This option is only meaningful on ELF platforms which support shared libraries.
`ld.lld --help`:
> --dynamic-list=<file>: Similar to --export-dynamic-symbol-list. When creating a shared object, this additionally implies -Bsymbolic but does not set DF_SYMBOLIC
> --export-dynamic-symbol-list=file: Read a list of dynamic symbol patterns. Apply --export-dynamic-symbol on each pattern
> --export-dynamic-symbol=glob: (executable) Put matched symbols in the dynamic symbol table. (shared object) References to matched non-local STV_DEFAULT symbols shouldn't be bound to definitions within the shared object. Does not imply -Bsymbolic.
> --export-dynamic: Put symbols in the dynamic symbol table
Use `--dynamic-list` because it's older than `--export-dynamic-symbol-list` (binutils 2.35)

Now that `#[used(linker)]` is the default on ELF, we don't need to use the
`-znostart-stop-gc` link-arg workaround to match bfd's behavior when
using lld.
This stabilizes a subset of the `-Clinker-features` components on x64 linux:
the lld opt-out.
The opt-in is not stabilized, as interactions with other stable flags require
more internal work, but are not needed for stabilizing using rust-lld by default.
Similarly, since we only switch to rust-lld on x64 linux, the opt-out is
only stabilized there. Other targets still require `-Zunstable-options`
to use it.
Most uses of it either contain a fat or thin lto module. Only
WorkItem::LTO could contain both, but splitting that enum variant
doesn't complicate things much.

rustc_std_internal_symbol is meant to call functions from crates where
there is no direct dependency on said crate. As they either have to be
added to symbols.o or rustc has to introduce an implicit dependency on
them to avoid linker errors. The latter is done for some things like the
panic runtime, but adding these symbols to symbols.o allows removing
those implicit dependencies.
Change __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable to be a function
This fixes a long sequence of issues:
1. A customer reported that building for Arm64EC was broken: #138541
2. This was caused by a bug in my original implementation of Arm64EC support, namely that only functions on Arm64EC need to be decorated with `#` but Rust was decorating statics as well.
3. Once I corrected Rust to only decorate functions, I started linking failures where the linker couldn't find statics exported by dylib dependencies. This was caused by the compiler not marking exported statics in the generated DEF file with `DATA`, thus they were being exported as functions not data.
4. Once I corrected the way that the DEF files were being emitted, the linker started failing saying that it couldn't find `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable`. This is because the MSVC linker requires the declarations of statics imported from other dylibs to be marked with `dllimport` (whereas it will happily link to functions imported from other dylibs whether they are marked `dllimport` or not).
5. I then made a change to ensure that `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` was marked as `dllimport`, but the MSVC linker started emitting warnings that `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` was marked as `dllimport` but was declared in an obj file. This is a harmless warning which is a performance hint: anything that's marked `dllimport` must be indirected via an `__imp` symbol so I added a linker arg in the target to suppress the warning.
6. A customer then reported a similar warning when using `lld-link` (<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140176#issuecomment-2872448443>). I don't think it was an implementation difference between the two linkers but rather that, depending on the obj that the declaration versus uses of `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` landed in we would get different warnings, so I suppressed that warning as well: #140954.
7. Another customer reported that they weren't using the Rust compiler to invoke the linker, thus these warnings were breaking their build: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140176#issuecomment-2881867433>. At that point, my original change was reverted (#141024) leaving Arm64EC broken yet again.
Taking a step back, a lot of these linker issues arise from the fact that `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` is marked as `extern "Rust"` in the standard library and, therefore, assumed to be a foreign item from a different crate BUT the Rust compiler may choose to generate it either in the current crate, some other crate that will be statically linked in OR some other crate that will by dynamically imported.
Worse yet, it is impossible while building a given crate to know if `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` will statically linked or dynamically imported: it might be that one of its dependent crates is the one with an allocator kind set and thus that crate (which is compiled later) will decide depending if it has any dylib dependencies or not to import `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` or generate it. Thus, there is no way to know if the declaration of `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` should be marked with `dllimport` or not.
There is a simple fix for all this: there is no reason `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` must be a static. It needs to be some symbol that must be linked in; thus, it could easily be a function instead. As a function, there is no need to mark it as `dllimport` when dynamically imported which avoids the entire mess above.
There may be a perf hit for changing the `volatile load` to be a `tail call`, so I'm happy to change that part back (although I question what the codegen of a `volatile load` would look like, and if the backend is going to try to use load-acquire semantics).
Build with this change applied BEFORE #140176 was reverted to demonstrate that there are no linking issues with either MSVC or MinGW: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/actions/runs/15078657205>
Incidentally, I fixed `tests/run-make/no-alloc-shim` to work with MSVC as I needed it to be able to test locally (FYI for #128602)

Set elf e_flags on ppc64 targets according to abi
(This PR contains the non user-facing changes of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/142321)
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85589 by making sure that ld.lld errors out instead of generating a broken binary.
Basically the problem is that ld.lld assumes that all ppc64 object files with e_flags=0 are object files which use the ELFv2 ABI (this here is the check https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/lld/ELF/Arch/PPC64.cpp#L639).
This pull request sets the correct e_flags to indicate the used ABI so ld.lld errors out when encountering ELFv1 ABI files instead of generating a broken binary.
For example compare code generation for this program (file name ``min.rs``):
```rust
#![feature(no_core, lang_items, repr_simd)]
#![crate_type = "bin"]
#![no_core]
#![no_main]
#[lang = "sized"]
trait Sized {}
#[lang = "copy"]
trait Copy {}
#[lang = "panic_cannot_unwind"]
pub fn panic() -> ! {
loop {}
}
pub fn my_rad_unmangled_function() {
loop {}
}
pub fn my_rad_function() {
loop {}
}
#[no_mangle]
pub fn _start() {
my_rad_unmangled_function();
my_rad_function();
}
```
Compile with ``rustc --target=powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu -C linker=ld.lld -C relocation-model=static min.rs``
Before change:
```
$ llvm-objdump -d min
Disassembly of section .text:

1001034c: 60 00 00 00 nop
...
```
The branch instructions ``bl 0x10030378`` and ``bl 0x10030390`` are jumping into the ``.opd`` section which is data. That is a broken binary (because fixing those branches is the task of the linker).
After change:
```
error: linking with `ld.lld` failed: exit status: 1

= note: some arguments are omitted. use `--verbose` to show all linker arguments
= note: ld.lld: error: /tmp/rustcNYKZCS/symbols.o: ABI version 1 is not supported
```
Which is correct because ld.lld doesn't support ELFv1 ABI.
In a PR to emit warnings on misuse of `--print native-static-libs`,
we did not consider the matter of composing parts of build systems.
If you are not directly invoking rustc, it can be difficult to know
when you will in fact compile a staticlib, so making sure everyone
uses `--print native-static-lib` correctly can be just a nuisance.
This reverts the following commits:
- f66787a08d
- 72a9219e82
- 98bb597c05
- c59b70841c
Next cycle we can reland a slightly more narrowly focused variant or one
that focuses on `--emit` instead of `--print native-static-libs`.
But in its current state, I am not sure the warning is very useful.
Move metadata object generation for dylibs to the linker code
This deduplicates some code between codegen backends and may in the future allow adding extra metadata that is only known at link time.

[AIX] strip underlying xcoff object
When stripping, we need to strip the archive member first before archiving. Otherwise, the shared library remain untouched, only the archive symbol table will be modified.
#[used] currently is an alias for #[used(linker)] on all platforms
except ELF based ones where it is an alias for #[used(compiler)]. The
latter has surprising behavior and the LLVM LangRef explicitly states
that it "should only be used in rare circumstances, and should not be
exposed to source languages."
The reason #[used] still was an alias to #[used(compiler)] on ELF is
because the gold linker has issues with it. Luckily gold has been
deprecated with GCC 15 and seems to be unable to bootstrap rustc anyway.
As such we shouldn't really care about supporting gold.
Replace ad-hoc ABI "adjustments" with an `AbiMap` to `CanonAbi`
Our `conv_from_spec_abi`, `adjust_abi`, and `is_abi_supported` combine to give us a very confusing way of reasoning about what _actual_ calling convention we want to lower our code to and whether we want to compile the resulting code at all. Instead of leaving this code as a miniature adventure game in which someone tries to combine stateful mutations into a Rube Goldberg machine that will let them escape the maze and arrive at the promised land of codegen, we let `AbiMap` devour this complexity. Once you have an `AbiMap`, you can answer which `ExternAbi`s will lower to what `CanonAbi`s (and whether they will lower at all).
Removed:
- `conv_from_spec_abi` replaced by `AbiMap::canonize_abi`
- `adjust_abi` replaced by same
- `Conv::PreserveAll` as unused
- `Conv::Cold` as unused
- `enum Conv` replaced by `enum CanonAbi`
target-spec.json changes:
- If you have a target-spec.json then now your "entry-abi" key will be specified in terms of one of the `"{abi}"` strings Rust recognizes, e.g.
```json
"entry-abi": "C",
"entry-abi": "win64",
"entry-abi": "aapcs",
```
