This patch tracks the type of Cmm global registers. This is needed
in order to lint uses of polymorphic registers, such as SIMD vector
registers that can be used both for floating-point and integer values.
This changes allows us to refactor VanillaReg to not store VGcPtr,
as that information is instead stored in the type of the usage of the
register.

This adds support for calling Cmm code from bytecode using the native
calling convention, allowing modules that use `foreign import prim`
to be loaded and debugged in GHCi.
This patch introduces a new `PRIMCALL` bytecode instruction and
a helper stack frame `stg_primcall`. The code is based on the
existing functionality for dealing with unboxed tuples in bytecode,
which has been generalised to handle arbitrary calls.
Fixes #22051

Originally I had thought I would just use the `prim` call syntax instead
of introducing new syntax for atomic loads. However, it turns out that
`prim` call syntax tends to make things quite unreadable. This new
syntax seems quite natural.

* Rename pprCLabel to pprCLabelStyle, and use the name pprCLabel
for a function using CStyle (analogous to pprAsmLabel)
* Move LabelStyle to the CLabel module, it no longer needs to be in Outputable.
* Move calls to 'text' right next to literals, to make sure the text/str
rule is triggered.
* Remove FastString/String roundtrip in Tc.Deriv.Generate
* Introduce showSDocForUser', which abstracts over a pattern in
GHCi.UI

Currently for a top-level closure in the form
hey = unpackCString# x
we generate code like this:
Main.hey_entry() // [R1]
{ info_tbls: [(c2T4,
label: Main.hey_info
rep: HeapRep static { Thunk }
srt: Nothing)]
stack_info: arg_space: 8 updfr_space: Just 8
}
{offset
c2T4: // global
_rqm::P64 = R1;
if ((Sp + 8) - 24 < SpLim) (likely: False) goto c2T5; else goto c2T6;
c2T5: // global
R1 = _rqm::P64;
call (stg_gc_enter_1)(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8;
c2T6: // global
(_c2T1::I64) = call "ccall" arg hints: [PtrHint,
PtrHint] result hints: [PtrHint] newCAF(BaseReg, _rqm::P64);
if (_c2T1::I64 == 0) goto c2T3; else goto c2T2;
c2T3: // global
call (I64[_rqm::P64])() args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8;
c2T2: // global
I64[Sp - 16] = stg_bh_upd_frame_info;
I64[Sp - 8] = _c2T1::I64;
R2 = hey1_r2Gg_bytes;
Sp = Sp - 16;
call GHC.CString.unpackCString#_info(R2) args: 24, res: 0, upd: 24;
}
}
This code is generated for every string literal. Only difference between
top-level closures like this is the argument for the bytes of the string
(hey1_r2Gg_bytes in the code above).
With this patch we introduce a standard thunk in the RTS, called
stg_MK_STRING_info, that does what `unpackCString# x` does, except it
gets the bytes address from the payload. Using this, for the closure
above, we generate this:
Main.hey_closure" {
Main.hey_closure:
const stg_MK_STRING_info;
const 0; // padding for indirectee
const 0; // static link
const 0; // saved info
const hey1_r1Gg_bytes; // the payload
}
This is much smaller in code.

Here we refactor the representation of info table provenance information
in object code to significantly reduce its size and link-time impact.
Specifically, we deduplicate strings and represent them as 32-bit
offsets into a common string table.
In addition, we rework the registration logic to eliminate allocation
from the registration path, which is run from a static initializer where
things like allocation are technically undefined behavior (although it
did previously seem to work). For similar reasons we eliminate lock
usage from registration path, instead relying on atomic CAS.
Closes #22077.

This patch implements GHC proposal 313, "Delimited continuation
primops", by adding native support for delimited continuations to the
GHC RTS.
All things considered, the patch is relatively small. It almost
exclusively consists of changes to the RTS; the compiler itself is
essentially unaffected. The primops come with fairly extensive Haddock
documentation, and an overview of the implementation strategy is given
in the Notes in rts/Continuation.c.
This first stab at the implementation prioritizes simplicity over
performance. Most notably, every continuation is always stored as a
single, contiguous chunk of stack. If one of these chunks is
particularly large, it can result in poor performance, as the current
implementation does not attempt to cleverly squeeze a subset of the
stack frames into the existing stack: it must fit all at once. If this
proves to be a performance issue in practice, a cleverer strategy would
be a worthwhile target for future improvements.

Previously, the SDocContext used for code generation contained
information whether the labels should use Asm or C style.
However, at every individual call site, this is known statically.
This removes the parameter to 'PprCode' and replaces every 'pdoc'
used to print a label in code style with 'pprCLabel' or 'pprAsmLabel'.
The OutputableP instance is now used only for dumps.
The output of T15155 changes, it now uses the Asm style
(which is faithful to what actually happens).

This adds a number of changes to ticky-ticky profiling.
When an executable is profiled with IPE profiling it's now possible to
associate id-related ticky counters to their source location.
This works by emitting the info table address as part of the counter
which can be looked up in the IPE table.
Add a `-ticky-ap-thunk` flag. This flag prevents the use of some standard thunks
which are precompiled into the RTS. This means reduced cache locality
and increased code size. But it allows better attribution of execution
cost to specific source locations instead of simple attributing it to
the standard thunk.
ticky-ticky now uses the `arg` field to emit additional information
about counters in json format. When ticky-ticky is used in combination
with the eventlog eventlog2html can be used to generate a html table
from the eventlog similar to the old text output for ticky-ticky.

fixup: Match countDeps tests to HEAD
StgToCmm.Monad: withState -> withCgState
To disambiguate it from mtl withState. This withState shouldn't be
returning the new state as a value. However, fixing this means tackling
the knot tying in CgState and so is very difficult since it changes when
the thunk of the knot is forced which either leads to deadlock or to
compiler panic.

`getMessages` function in the parser code to `getPsErrorMessages` and
`getPsMessages`, to avoid import conflicts, as we have already

Introduce LogFlags as a independent subset of DynFlags used for logging.
As a consequence in many places we don't have to pass both Logger and
DynFlags anymore.
The main reason for this refactoring is that I want to refactor the
systools interfaces: for now many systools functions use DynFlags both
to use the Logger and to fetch their parameters (e.g. ldInputs for the
linker). I'm interested in refactoring the way they fetch their
parameters (i.e. use dedicated XxxOpts data types instead of DynFlags)
for #19877. But if I did this refactoring before refactoring the Logger,
we would have duplicate parameters (e.g. ldInputs from DynFlags and
linkerInputs from LinkerOpts). Hence this patch first.
Some flags don't really belong to LogFlags because they are subsystem
specific (e.g. most DumpFlags). For example -ddump-asm should better be
passed in NCGConfig somehow. This patch doesn't fix this tight coupling:
the dump flags are part of the UI but they are passed all the way down
for example to infer the file name for the dumps.
Because LogFlags are a subset of the DynFlags, we must update the former
when the latter changes (not so often). As a consequence we now use
accessors to read/write DynFlags in HscEnv instead of using `hsc_dflags`
directly.
In the process I've also made some subsystems less dependent on DynFlags:
- CmmToAsm: by passing some missing flags via NCGConfig (see new fields
in GHC.CmmToAsm.Config)
- Core.Opt.*:
- by passing -dinline-check value into UnfoldingOpts
- by fixing some Core passes interfaces (e.g. CallArity, FloatIn)
that took DynFlags argument for no good reason.
- as a side-effect GHC.Core.Opt.Pipeline.doCorePass is much less
convoluted.

In which we add a new code generator to the Glasgow Haskell
Compiler. This codegen supports ELF and Mach-O targets, thus covering
Linux, macOS, and BSDs in principle. It was tested only on macOS and
Linux. The NCG follows a similar structure as the other native code
generators we already have, and should therfore be realtively easy to
follow.
It supports most of the features required for a proper native code
generator, but does not claim to be perfect or fully optimised. There
are still opportunities for optimisations.

This commit converts the lexers and all the parser machinery to use the
new parser types and diagnostics infrastructure. Furthermore, it cleans
up the way the parser code was emitting hints.
As a result of this systematic approach, the test output of the
`InfixAppPatErr` and `T984` tests have been changed. Previously they
would emit a `SuggestMissingDo` hint, but this was not at all helpful in
resolving the error, and it was even confusing by just looking at the
original program that triggered the errors.

Suppose a safe call: myCall(x,y,z)
It is lowered into three unsafe calls in Cmm:
r = suspendThread(...);
myCall(x,y,z);
resumeThread(r);
Consider the following situation for myCall arguments:
x = Sp[..] -- stack
y = Hp[..] -- heap
z = R1 -- global register
r = suspendThread(...);
myCall(x,y,z);
resumeThread(r);
The sink pass assumes that unsafe calls clobber memory (heap and stack),
hence x and y assignments are not sunk after `suspendThread`. The sink
pass also correctly handles global register clobbering for all unsafe
calls, except `suspendThread`!
`suspendThread` is special because it releases the capability the thread
is running on. Hence the sink pass must also take into account global
registers that are mapped into memory (in the capability).
In the example above, we could get:
r = suspendThread(...);
z = R1
myCall(x,y,z);
resumeThread(r);
But this transformation isn't valid if R1 is (BaseReg->rR1) as BaseReg
is invalid between suspendThread and resumeThread. This caused argument
corruption at least with the C backend ("unregisterised") in #19237.

This patch cleans up the complexity around WW's `mk_absent_let` by
broadening the scope of `LitRubbish`. Rubbish literals now store the
`PrimRep` they represent and are ultimately lowered in Cmm.
This in turn allows absent literals of `VecRep` or `VoidRep`. The latter
allows absent literals for unlifted coercions, as requested in #18983.
I took the liberty to rewrite and clean up `Note [Absent fillers]` and
`Note [Rubbish values]` to account for the new implementation and to
make them more orthogonal in their description.
I didn't add a new regression test, as `T18982` already contains the
test in the ticket and its test output changes as expected.
Fixes #18983.

This new flag embeds a lookup table from the address of an info table
to information about that info table.
The main interface for consulting the map is the `lookupIPE` C function
> InfoProvEnt * lookupIPE(StgInfoTable *info)
The `InfoProvEnt` has the following structure:
> typedef struct InfoProv_{
> char * table_name;
> char * closure_desc;
> char * ty_desc;
> char * label;
> char * module;
> char * srcloc;
> } InfoProv;
>
> typedef struct InfoProvEnt_ {
> StgInfoTable * info;
> InfoProv prov;
> struct InfoProvEnt_ *link;
> } InfoProvEnt;
The source positions are approximated in a similar way to the source
positions for DWARF debugging information. They are only approximate but
in our experience provide a good enough hint about where the problem
might be. It is therefore recommended to use this flag in conjunction
with `-g<n>` for more accurate locations.
The lookup table is also emitted into the eventlog when it is available
as it is intended to be used with the `-hi` profiling mode.
Using this flag will significantly increase the size of the resulting
object file but only by a factor of 2-3x in our experience.

This commit renames parser's Error and Warning types (and their
constructors) to have a 'Ps' prefix, so that this would play nicely
when more errors and warnings for other phases of the pipeline will
be added. This will make more explicit which is the particular type
of error and warning we are dealing with, and will be more informative
for users to see in the generated Haddock.

The unit database cache, the home unit and the unit state were stored in
DynFlags while they ought to be stored in the compiler session state
(HscEnv). This patch fixes this.
It introduces a new UnitEnv type that should be used in the future to
handle separate unit environments (especially host vs target units).

Haskell and Cmm parsers/lexers now report errors and warnings using ADTs
defined in GHC.Parser.Errors. They can be printed using functions in
GHC.Parser.Errors.Ppr.
Some of the errors provide hints with a separate ADT (e.g. to suggest to
turn on some extension). For now, however, hints are not consistent
across all messages. For example some errors contain the hints in the
main message. I didn't want to change any message with this patch. I
expect these changes to be discussed and implemented later.

Some types need a Platform value to be pretty-printed: CLabel, Cmm
types, instructions, etc.
Before this patch they had an Outputable instance and the Platform value
was obtained via sdocWithDynFlags. It meant that the *renderer* of the
SDoc was responsible of passing the appropriate Platform value (e.g. via
the DynFlags given to showSDoc). It put the burden of passing the
Platform value on the renderer while the generator of the SDoc knows the
Platform it is generating the SDoc for and there is no point passing a
different Platform at rendering time.
With this patch, we introduce a new OutputableP class:
class OutputableP a where
pdoc :: Platform -> a -> SDoc
With this class we still have some polymorphism as we have with `ppr`
(i.e. we can use `pdoc` on a variety of types instead of having a
dedicated `pprXXX` function for each XXX type).
One step closer removing `sdocWithDynFlags` (#10143) and supporting
several platforms (#14335).

In preparation for the next version of 'happy', c95920 added a qualified
import to GHC/Parser.y but for some reason neglected GHC/Cmm/Parser.y
This patch adds the missing qualified import to GHC/Cmm/Parser.y and
also adds a clarifying comment to explain why this import is needed.

- put panic related functions into GHC.Utils.Panic
- put trace related functions using DynFlags in GHC.Driver.Ppr
One step closer making Outputable fully independent of DynFlags.

Platform constant wrappers took a DynFlags parameter, hence implicitly
used the target platform constants. We removed them to allow support
for several platforms at once (#14335) and to avoid having to pass
the full DynFlags to every function (#17957).

This fixes #17667 and should help to avoid such issues going forward.
The changes are mostly mechanical in nature. With two notable
exceptions.
* The register allocator.
The register allocator references registers by distinct uniques.
However they come from the types of VirtualReg, Reg or Unique in
various places. As a result we sometimes cast the key type of the
map and use functions which operate on the now typed map but take
a raw Unique as actual key. The logic itself has not changed it
just becomes obvious where we do so now.
* <Type>Env Modules.
As an example a ClassEnv is currently queried using the types `Class`,
`Name`, and `TyCon`. This is safe since for a distinct class value all
these expressions give the same unique.
getUnique cls
getUnique (classTyCon cls)
getUnique (className cls)
getUnique (tcName $ classTyCon cls)
This is for the most part contained within the modules defining the
interface. However it requires us to play dirty when we are given a
`Name` to lookup in a `UniqFM Class a` map. But again the logic did
not change and it's for the most part hidden behind the Env Module.
Some of these cases could be avoided by refactoring but this is left
for future work.
We also bump the haddock submodule as it uses UniqFM.

SCC profiling was enabled in a convoluted way: if WayProf was enabled,
Opt_SccProfilingOn general flag was set (in
`GHC.Driver.Ways.wayGeneralFlags`), and then this flag was queried in
various places.
There is no need to go via general flags, so this patch defines a
`sccProfilingEnabled :: DynFlags -> Bool` helper function that just
checks whether WayProf is enabled.

Previously, if a .cmm file *not in the RTS* contained something like:
```cmm
section "rodata" { msg : bits8[] "Test\n"; }
```
It would get compiled by CmmToC into:
```c
ERW_(msg);
const char msg[] = "Test\012";
```
and fail with:
```
/tmp/ghc32129_0/ghc_4.hc:5:12: error:
error: conflicting types for \u2018msg\u2019
const char msg[] = "Test\012";

See the rationale for this on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/compiler/backends/ppr-c#prototypes
Now we don't generate these extern declarations (ERW_, etc.) for
top-level data. It shouldn't change anything for the RTS (the only place
we use .cmm files) as it is already special cased in
`GHC.Cmm.CLabel.needsCDecl`. And hand-written Cmm can use explicit
extern declarations when needed.
Note that it allows `cgrun069` test to pass with CmmToC (cf #15467).

We don't want to save both Fn and Dn register sets on x86-64 as they are
aliased to the same arch register (XMMn).
Moreover, when SAVE_STGREGS was used in conjunction with `jump foo [*]`
which makes a set of Cmm registers alive so that they cover all arch
registers used to pass parameter, we could have Fn, Dn and XMMn alive at
the same time. It made the LLVM code generator choke (see #17920).
Now `SAVE_REGS/RESTORE_REGS` and `jump foo [*]` use the same set of
registers.

tablesNextToCode is a platform setting and doesn't belong into DynFlags
(#17957). Doing this is also a prerequisite to fix #14335 where we deal
with two platforms (target and host) that may have different platform
settings.
