Add StgToCmm module hierarchy. Platform modules that are used in several
other places (NCG, LLVM codegen, Cmm transformations) are put into
GHC.Platform.

This switches the compiler/ component to get compiled with
-XNoImplicitPrelude and a `import GhcPrelude` is inserted in all
modules.
This is motivated by the upcoming "Prelude" re-export of
`Semigroup((<>))` which would cause lots of name clashes in every
modulewhich imports also `Outputable`

This commits relaxes the invariants of the Core syntax so that a
top-level variable can be bound to a primitive string literal of type
Addr#.
This commit:
* Relaxes the invatiants of the Core, and allows top-level bindings whose
type is Addr# as long as their RHS is either a primitive string literal or
another variable.
* Allows the simplifier and the full-laziness transformer to float out
primitive string literals to the top leve.
* Introduces the new StgGenTopBinding type to accomodate top-level Addr#
bindings.
* Introduces a new type of labels in the object code, with the suffix "_bytes",
for exported top-level Addr# bindings.
* Makes some built-in rules more robust. This was necessary to keep them
functional after the above changes.
This is a continuation of D2554.
Rebasing notes:
This had two slightly suspicious performance regressions:
* T12425: bytes allocated regressed by roughly 5%
* T4029: bytes allocated regressed by a bit over 1%
* T13035: bytes allocated regressed by a bit over 5%
These deserve additional investigation.

This commit implements the proposal in
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/29 and
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/35.
Here are some of the pieces of that proposal:
* Some of RuntimeRep's constructors have been shortened.
* TupleRep and SumRep are now parameterized over a list of RuntimeReps.
* This
means that two types with the same kind surely have the same
representation.
Previously, all unboxed tuples had the same kind, and thus the fact
above was
false.
* RepType.typePrimRep and friends now return a *list* of PrimReps. These
functions can now work successfully on unboxed tuples. This change is
necessary because we allow abstraction over unboxed tuple types and so
cannot
always handle unboxed tuples specially as we did before.
* We sometimes have to create an Id from a PrimRep. I thus split PtrRep
* into
LiftedRep and UnliftedRep, so that the created Ids have the right
strictness.
* The RepType.RepType type was removed, as it didn't seem to help with
* much.
* The RepType.repType function is also removed, in favor of typePrimRep.
* I have waffled a good deal on whether or not to keep VoidRep in
TyCon.PrimRep. In the end, I decided to keep it there. PrimRep is *not*
represented in RuntimeRep, and typePrimRep will never return a list
including
VoidRep. But it's handy to have in, e.g., ByteCodeGen and friends. I can
imagine another design choice where we have a PrimRepV type that is
PrimRep
with an extra constructor. That seemed to be a heavier design, though,
and I'm
not sure what the benefit would be.
* The last, unused vestiges of # (unliftedTypeKind) have been removed.
* There were several pretty-printing bugs that this change exposed;
* these are fixed.
* We previously checked for levity polymorphism in the types of binders.
* But we
also must exclude levity polymorphism in function arguments. This is
hard to check
for, requiring a good deal of care in the desugarer. See Note [Levity
polymorphism
checking] in DsMonad.
* In order to efficiently check for levity polymorphism in functions, it
* was necessary
to add a new bit of IdInfo. See Note [Levity info] in IdInfo.
* It is now safe for unlifted types to be unsaturated in Core. Core Lint
* is updated
accordingly.
* We can only know strictness after zonking, so several checks around
* strictness
in the type-checker (checkStrictBinds, the check for unlifted variables
under a ~
pattern) have been moved to the desugarer.
* Along the way, I improved the treatment of unlifted vs. banged
* bindings. See
Note [Strict binds checks] in DsBinds and #13075.
* Now that we print type-checked source, we must be careful to print
* ConLikes correctly.
This is facilitated by a new HsConLikeOut constructor to HsExpr.
Particularly troublesome
are unlifted pattern synonyms that get an extra void# argument.
* Includes a submodule update for haddock, getting rid of #.
* New testcases:
typecheck/should_fail/StrictBinds
typecheck/should_fail/T12973
typecheck/should_run/StrictPats
typecheck/should_run/T12809
typecheck/should_fail/T13105
patsyn/should_fail/UnliftedPSBind
typecheck/should_fail/LevPolyBounded
typecheck/should_compile/T12987
typecheck/should_compile/T11736
* Fixed tickets:
#12809
#12973
#11736
#13075
#12987
* This also adds a test case for #13105. This test case is
* "compile_fail" and
succeeds, because I want the testsuite to monitor the error message.
When #13105 is fixed, the test case will compile cleanly.

case.

The idea behind adding special "rubbish" arguments was in unboxed sum types
depending on the tag some arguments are not used and we don't want to move some
special values (like 0 for literals and some special pointer for boxed slots)
for those arguments (to stack locations or registers). "StgRubbishArg" was an
indicator to the code generator that the value won't be used. During Stg-to-Cmm
we were then not generating any move or store instructions at all.
This caused problems in the register allocator because some variables were only
initialized in some code paths. As an example, suppose we have this STG: (after
unarise)
Lib.$WT =
\r [dt_sit]
case
case dt_sit of {
Lib.F dt_siv [Occ=Once] ->
(#,,#) [1# dt_siv StgRubbishArg::GHC.Prim.Int#];
Lib.I dt_siw [Occ=Once] ->
(#,,#) [2# StgRubbishArg::GHC.Types.Any dt_siw];
}
of
dt_six
{ (#,,#) us_giC us_giD us_giE -> Lib.T [us_giC us_giD us_giE];
};
This basically unpacks a sum type to an unboxed sum with 3 fields, and then
moves the unboxed sum to a constructor (`Lib.T`).
This is the Cmm for the inner case expression (case expression in the scrutinee
position of the outer case):
ciN:
...
-- look at dt_sit's tag
if (_ciT::P64 != 1) goto ciS; else goto ciR;
ciS: -- Tag is 2, i.e. Lib.F
_siw::I64 = I64[_siu::P64 + 6];
_giE::I64 = _siw::I64;
_giD::P64 = stg_RUBBISH_ENTRY_info;
_giC::I64 = 2;
goto ciU;
ciR: -- Tag is 1, i.e. Lib.I
_siv::P64 = P64[_siu::P64 + 7];
_giD::P64 = _siv::P64;
_giC::I64 = 1;
goto ciU;
Here one of the blocks `ciS` and `ciR` is executed and then the execution
continues to `ciR`, but only `ciS` initializes `_giE`, in the other branch
`_giE` is not initialized, because it's "rubbish" in the STG and so we don't
generate an assignment during code generator. The code generator then panics
during the register allocations:
ghc-stage1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.1.20160722 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
LocalReg's live-in to graph ciY {_giE::I64}
(`_giD` is also "rubbish" in `ciS`, but it's still initialized because it's a
pointer slot, we have to initialize it otherwise garbage collector follows the
pointer to some random place. So we only remove assignment if the "rubbish" arg
has unboxed type.)
This patch removes `StgRubbishArg` and `CmmArg`. We now always initialize
rubbish slots. If the slot is for boxed types we use the existing `absentError`,
otherwise we initialize the slot with literal 0.

Summary:
This patch implements primitive unboxed sum types, as described in
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/UnpackedSumTypes.
Main changes are:
- Add new syntax for unboxed sums types, terms and patterns. Hidden
behind `-XUnboxedSums`.
- Add unlifted unboxed sum type constructors and data constructors,
extend type and pattern checkers and desugarer.
- Add new RuntimeRep for unboxed sums.
- Extend unarise pass to translate unboxed sums to unboxed tuples right
before code generation.
- Add `StgRubbishArg` to `StgArg`, and a new type `CmmArg` for better
code generation when sum values are involved.
- Add user manual section for unboxed sums.
Some other changes:
- Generalize `UbxTupleRep` to `MultiRep` and `UbxTupAlt` to
`MultiValAlt` to be able to use those with both sums and tuples.
- Don't use `tyConPrimRep` in `isVoidTy`: `tyConPrimRep` is really
wrong, given an `Any` `TyCon`, there's no way to tell what its kind
is, but `kindPrimRep` and in turn `tyConPrimRep` returns `PtrRep`.
- Fix some bugs on the way: #12375.
Not included in this patch:
- Update Haddock for new the new unboxed sum syntax.
- `TemplateHaskell` support is left as future work.
For reviewers:
- Front-end code is mostly trivial and adapted from unboxed tuple code
for type checking, pattern checking, renaming, desugaring etc.
- Main translation routines are in `RepType` and `UnariseStg`.
Documentation in `UnariseStg` should be enough for understanding
what's going on.
Credits:
- Johan Tibell wrote the initial front-end and interface file
extensions.
- Simon Peyton Jones reviewed this patch many times, wrote some code,
and helped with debugging.

Summary:
In the past the canonical way for constructing an SDoc string literal was the
composition `ptext . sLit`. But for some time now we have function `text` that
does the same. Plus it has some rules that optimize its runtime behaviour.
This patch takes all uses of `ptext . sLit` in the compiler and replaces them
with calls to `text`. The main benefits of this patch are clener (shorter) code
and less dependencies between module, because many modules now do not need to
import `FastString`. I don't expect any performance benefits - we mostly use
SDocs to report errors and it seems there is little to be gained here.

In some cases, the layout of the LANGUAGE/OPTIONS_GHC lines has been
reorganized, while following the convention, to
- place `{-# LANGUAGE #-}` pragmas at the top of the source file, before
any `{-# OPTIONS_GHC #-}`-lines.
- Moreover, if the list of language extensions fit into a single
`{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-line (shorter than 80 characters), keep it on one
line. Otherwise split into `{-# LANGUAGE ... -#}`-lines for each
individual language extension. In both cases, try to keep the
enumeration alphabetically ordered.
(The latter layout is preferable as it's more diff-friendly)
While at it, this also replaces obsolete `{-# OPTIONS ... #-}` pragma
occurences by `{-# OPTIONS_GHC ... #-}` pragmas.

This cleanup includes:
* removing dead code. This includes forkStatics function,
which was in fact one big noop, and global bindings in
CgInfoDownwards,
* converting functions that used FCode monad only to
access DynFlags into functions that take DynFlags
as a parameter and don't work in a monad,
* addBindC function is now smarter. It extracts Id from
CgIdInfo passed to it in the same way addBindsC does.
Previously this was done at every call site, which was
redundant.

A major cleanup of trailing whitespaces and tabs in codeGen/
directory. I also adjusted code formatting in some places.

* the new StgCmmArgRep module breaks a dependency cycle; I also
untabified it, but made no real changes
* updated the documentation in the wiki and change the user guide to
point there
* moved the allocation enters for ticky and CCS to after the heap check
* I left LDV where it was, which was before the heap check at least
once, since I have no idea what it is
* standardized all (active?) ticky alloc totals to bytes
* in order to avoid double counting StgCmmLayout.adjustHpBackwards
no longer bumps ALLOC_HEAP_ctr
* I resurrected the SLOW_CALL counters
* the new module StgCmmArgRep breaks cyclic dependency between
Layout and Ticky (which the SLOW_CALL counters cause)
* renamed them SLOW_CALL_fast_<pattern> and VERY_SLOW_CALL
* added ALLOC_RTS_ctr and _tot ticky counters
* eg allocation by Storage.c:allocate or a BUILD_PAP in stg_ap_*_info
* resurrected ticky counters for ALLOC_THK, ALLOC_PAP, and
ALLOC_PRIM
* added -ticky and -DTICKY_TICKY in ways.mk for debug ways
* added a ticky counter for total LNE entries
* new flags for ticky: -ticky-allocd -ticky-dyn-thunk -ticky-LNE
* all off by default
* -ticky-allocd: tracks allocation *of* closure in addition to
allocation *by* that closure
* -ticky-dyn-thunk tracks dynamic thunks as if they were functions
* -ticky-LNE tracks LNEs as if they were functions

I've switched to passing DynFlags rather than Platform, as (a) it's
simpler to not have to extract targetPlatform in so many places, and
(b) it may be useful to have DynFlags around in future.

We need to make the SRT label external and unique when splitting,
because it is shared amongst all the functions in the module. Also

When allocating new objects on the heap, we previously returned
a CmmExpr containing the heap pointer as well as the tag expression,
which would be added to the code graph upon first usage. Unfortunately,
this meant that untagged heap pointers living in registers might
be spilled to the stack, where they interacted poorly with garbage
collection (we saw this bug specifically with the compacting garbage
collector.)
This fix immediately tags the register containing the heap pointer,
so that unless we have extremely unfriendly spill code, the new pointer
will never be spilled to the stack untagged.
An alternate solution might have been to modify allocDynClosure to
tag the pointer upon the initial register allocation, but not all
invocations of allocDynClosure tag the resulting pointer, and
threading the consequent CgIdInfo for the cases that did would have
been annoying.

This changes the new code generator to make use of the Hoopl package
for dataflow analysis. Hoopl is a new boot package, and is maintained
in a separate upstream git repository (as usual, GHC has its own
lagging darcs mirror in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hoopl).
During this merge I squashed recent history into one patch. I tried
to rebase, but the history had some internal conflicts of its own
which made rebase extremely confusing, so I gave up. The history I
squashed was:
- Update new codegen to work with latest Hoopl
- Add some notes on new code gen to cmm-notes
- Enable Hoopl lag package.
- Add SPJ note to cmm-notes
- Improve GC calls on new code generator.
Work in this branch was done by:
- Milan Straka <fox@ucw.cz>
- John Dias <dias@cs.tufts.edu>
- David Terei <davidterei@gmail.com>
Edward Z. Yang <ezyang@mit.edu> merged in further changes from GHC HEAD
and fixed a few bugs.

-- we weren't (re)binding the free variables in a thunk
o Fixed a bug in proc-point splitting that dropped some updates
to the entry block in a procedure.
o Fixed improper calls to code that generates CmmLit's for strings
o New invariant on cg_loc in CgIdInfo: the expression is always tagged
o Code to load free vars on entry to a thunk was (wrongly) placed before
the heap check.
o Some of the StgCmm code was redundantly passing around Id's
along with CgIdInfo's; no more.
o Initialize the LocalReg's that point to a closure before allocating and
initializing the closure itself -- otherwise, we have problems with
recursive closure bindings
o BlockEnv and BlockSet types are now abstract.
o Update frames:
- push arguments in Old call area
- keep track of the return sp in the FCode monad
- keep the return sp in every call, tail call, and return
(because it might be different at different call sites,
e.g. tail calls to the gc after a heap check are performed
before pushing the update frame)
- set the sp appropriately on returns and tail calls
o Reduce call, tail call, and return to a single LastCall node
o Added slow entry code, using different calling conventions on entry and tail call
o More fixes to the calling convention code.
The tricky stuff is all about the closure environment: it must be passed in R1,
but in non-closures, there is no such argument, so we can't treat all arguments
the same way: the closure environment is special. Maybe the right step forward
would be to define a different calling convention for closure arguments.
o Let-no-escapes need to be emitted out-of-line -- otherwise, we drop code.
o Respect RTS requirement of word alignment for pointers
My stack allocation can pack sub-word values into a single word on the stack,
but it wasn't requiring word-alignment for pointers. It does now,
by word-aligning both pointer registers and call areas.
o CmmLint was over-aggresively ruling out non-word-aligned memory references,
which may be kosher now that we can spill small values into a single word.
o Wrong label order on a conditional branch when compiling switches.
o void args weren't dropped in many cases.
To help prevent this kind of mistake, I defined a NonVoid wrapper,
which I'm applying only to Id's for now, although there are probably
other good candidates.
o A little code refactoring: separate modules for procpoint analysis splitting,
stack layout, and building infotables.
o Stack limit check: insert along with the heap limit check, using a symbolic
constant (a special CmmLit), then replace it when the stack layout is known.
o Removed last node: MidAddToContext
o Adding block id as a literal: means that the lowering of the calling conventions
no longer has to produce labels early, which was inhibiting common-block elimination.
Will also make it easier for the non-procpoint-splitting path.
o Info tables: don't try to describe the update frame!
o Over aggressive use of NonVoid!!!!
Don't drop the non-void args before setting the type of the closure!!!
o Sanity checking:
Added a pass to stub dead dead slots on the stack
(only ~10 lines with the dataflow framework)
o More sanity checking:
Check that incoming pointer arguments are non-stubbed.
Note: these checks are still subject to dead-code removal, but they should
still be quite helpful.
o Better sanity checking: why stop at function arguments?
Instead, in mkAssign, check that _any_ assignment to a pointer type is non-null
-- the sooner the crash, the easier it is to debug.
Still need to add the debugging flag to turn these checks on explicitly.
o Fixed yet another calling convention bug.
This time, the calls to the GC were wrong. I've added a new convention
for GC calls and invoked it where appropriate.
We should really straighten out the calling convention stuff:
some of the code (and documentation) is spread across the compiler,
and there's some magical use of the node register that should really
be handled (not avoided) by calling conventions.
o Switch bug: the arms in mkCmmLitSwitch weren't returning to a single join point.
o Environment shadowing problem in Stg->Cmm:
When a closure f is bound at the top-level, we should not bind f to the
node register on entry to the closure.
Why? Because if the body of f contains a let-bound closure g that refers
to f, we want to make sure that it refers to the static closure for f.
Normally, this would all be fine, because when we compile a closure,
we rebind free variables in the environment. But f doesn't look like
a free variable because it's a static value. So, the binding for f
remains in the environment when we compile g, inconveniently referring
to the wrong thing.
Now, I bind the variable in the local environment only if the closure is not
bound at the top level. It's still okay to make assumptions about the
node holding the closure environment; we just won't find the binding
in the environment, so code that names the closure will now directly
get the label of the static closure, not the node register holding a
pointer to the static closure.
o Don't generate bogus Cmm code containing SRTs during the STG -> Cmm pass!
The tables made reference to some labels that don't exist when we compute and
generate the tables in the back end.
o Safe foreign calls need some special treatment (at least until we have the integrated
codegen). In particular:
o they need info tables
o they are not procpoints -- the successor had better be in the same procedure
o we cannot (yet) implement the calling conventions early, which means we have
to carry the calling-conv info all the way to the end
o We weren't following the old convention when registering a module.
Now, we use update frames to push any new modules that have to be registered
and enter the youngest one on the stack.
We also use the update frame machinery to specify that the return should pop
the return address off the stack.
o At each safe foreign call, an infotable must be at the bottom of the stack,
and the TSO->sp must point to it.
o More problems with void args in a direct call to a function:
We were checking the args (minus voids) to check whether the call was saturated,
which caused problems when the function really wasn't saturated because it
took an extra void argument.
o Forgot to distinguish integer != from floating != during Stg->Cmm
o Updating slotEnv and areaMap to include safe foreign calls
The dataflow analyses that produce the slotEnv and areaMap give
results for each basic block, but we also need the results for
a safe foreign call, which is a middle node.
After running the dataflow analysis, we have another pass that
updates the results to includ any safe foreign calls.
o Added a static flag for the debugging technique that inserts
instructions to stub dead slots on the stack and crashes when
a stubbed value is loaded into a pointer-typed LocalReg.
o C back end expects to see return continuations before their call sites.
Sorted the flowgraphs appropriately after splitting.
o PrimOp calling conventions are special -- unlimited registers, no stack
Yet another calling convention...
o More void value problems: if the RHS of a case arm is a void-typed variable,
don't try to return it.
o When calling some primOp, they may allocate memory; if so, we need to
do a heap check when we return from the call.

This merge does not turn on the new codegen (which only compiles
a select few programs at this point),
but it does introduce some changes to the old code generator.
The high bits:
1. The Rep Swamp patch is finally here.
The highlight is that the representation of types at the
machine level has changed.
Consequently, this patch contains updates across several back ends.
2. The new Stg -> Cmm path is here, although it appears to have a
fair number of bugs lurking.
3. Many improvements along the CmmCPSZ path, including:
o stack layout
o some code for infotables, half of which is right and half wrong
o proc-point splitting
