This commit is a proof-of-concept for switching the standard library's
backtrace symbolication mechanism on most platforms from libbacktrace to
gimli. The standard library's support for `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` requires
in-process parsing of object files and DWARF debug information to
interpret it and print the filename/line number of stack frames as part
of a backtrace.
Historically this support in the standard library has come from a
library called "libbacktrace". The libbacktrace library seems to have
been extracted from gcc at some point and is written in C. We've had a
lot of issues with libbacktrace over time, unfortunately, though. The
library does not appear to be actively maintained since we've had
patches sit for months-to-years without comments. We have discovered a
good number of soundness issues with the library itself, both when
parsing valid DWARF as well as invalid DWARF. This is enough of an issue
that the libs team has previously decided that we cannot feed untrusted
inputs to libbacktrace. This also doesn't take into account the
portability of libbacktrace which has been difficult to manage and
maintain over time. While possible there are lots of exceptions and it's
the main C dependency of the standard library right now.
For years it's been the desire to switch over to a Rust-based solution
for symbolicating backtraces. It's been assumed that we'll be using the
Gimli family of crates for this purpose, which are targeted at safely
and efficiently parsing DWARF debug information. I've been working
recently to shore up the Gimli support in the `backtrace` crate. As of a
few weeks ago the `backtrace` crate, by default, uses Gimli when loaded
from crates.io. This transition has gone well enough that I figured it
was time to start talking seriously about this change to the standard
library.
This commit is a preview of what's probably the best way to integrate
the `backtrace` crate into the standard library with the Gimli feature
turned on. While today it's used as a crates.io dependency, this commit
switches the `backtrace` crate to a submodule of this repository which
will need to be updated manually. This is not done lightly, but is
thought to be the best solution. The primary reason for this is that the
`backtrace` crate needs to do some pretty nontrivial filesystem
interactions to locate debug information. Working without `std::fs` is
not an option, and while it might be possible to do some sort of
trait-based solution when prototyped it was found to be too unergonomic.
Using a submodule allows the `backtrace` crate to build as a submodule
of the `std` crate itself, enabling it to use `std::fs` and such.
Otherwise this adds new dependencies to the standard library. This step
requires extra attention because this means that these crates are now
going to be included with all Rust programs by default. It's important
to note, however, that we're already shipping libbacktrace with all Rust
programs by default and it has a bunch of C code implementing all of
this internally anyway, so we're basically already switching
already-shipping functionality to Rust from C.
* `object` - this crate is used to parse object file headers and
contents. Very low-level support is used from this crate and almost
all of it is disabled. Largely we're just using struct definitions as
well as convenience methods internally to read bytes and such.
* `addr2line` - this is the main meat of the implementation for
symbolication. This crate depends on `gimli` for DWARF parsing and
then provides interfaces needed by the `backtrace` crate to turn an
address into a filename / line number. This crate is actually pretty
small (fits in a single file almost!) and mirrors most of what
`dwarf.c` does for libbacktrace.
* `miniz_oxide` - the libbacktrace crate transparently handles
compressed debug information which is compressed with zlib. This crate
is used to decompress compressed debug sections.
* `gimli` - not actually used directly, but a dependency of `addr2line`.
* `adler32`- not used directly either, but a dependency of
`miniz_oxide`.
The goal of this change is to improve the safety of backtrace
symbolication in the standard library, especially in the face of
possibly malformed DWARF debug information. Even to this day we're still
seeing segfaults in libbacktrace which could possibly become security
vulnerabilities. This change should almost entirely eliminate this
possibility whilc also paving the way forward to adding more features
like split debug information.
Some references for those interested are:
* Original addition of libbacktrace - #12602
* OOM with libbacktrace - #24231
* Backtrace failure due to use of uninitialized value - #28447
* Possibility to feed untrusted data to libbacktrace - #21889
* Soundness fix for libbacktrace - #33729
* Crash in libbacktrace - #39468
* Support for macOS, never merged - ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace#2
* Performance issues with libbacktrace - #29293, #37477
* Update procedure is quite complicated due to how many patches we
need to carry - #50955
* Libbacktrace doesn't work on MinGW with dynamic libs - #71060
* Segfault in libbacktrace on macOS - #71397
Switching to Rust will not make us immune to all of these issues. The
crashes are expected to go away, but correctness and performance may
still have bugs arise. The gimli and `backtrace` crates, however, are
actively maintained unlike libbacktrace, so this should enable us to at
least efficiently apply fixes as situations come up.

With this, we can now use a target JSON file to build a
cross-compiler:
```
x.py install --host ../aarch64-apple-darwin.json --target aarch64-apple-darwin
```
|
|
|
|
`rustc` allows passing in predefined target triples as well as JSON
target specification files. This change allows bootstrap to have the
first inkling about those differences. This allows building a
cross-compiler for an out-of-tree architecture (even though that
compiler won't work for other reasons).
Even if no one ever uses this functionality, I think the newtype
around the `Interned<String>` improves the readability of the code.

The current plan is that submodule tracks the `release` branch of
rust-analyzer, which is updated once a week.
rust-analyzer is a workspace (with a virtual manifest), the actual
binary is provide by `crates/rust-analyzer` package.
Note that we intentionally don't add rust-analyzer to `Kind::Test`,
for two reasons.
*First*, at the moment rust-analyzer's test suite does a couple of
things which might not work in the context of rust repository. For
example, it shells out directly to `rustup` and `rustfmt`. So, making
this work requires non-trivial efforts.
*Second*, it seems unlikely that running tests in rust-lang/rust repo
would provide any additional guarantees. rust-analyzer builds with
stable and does not depend on the specifics of the compiler, so
changes to compiler can't break ra, unless they break stability
guarantee. Additionally, rust-analyzer itself is gated on bors, so we
are pretty confident that test suite passes.

Remove legacy InnoSetup GUI installer
On Windows the InnoSetup `.exe` installer was superseded by the MSI installer long ago. It's no longer needed.
The `.exe` installer hasn't been linked from the [other installation methods](https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#standalone) page in many years. As far as I can tell the intent was always to remove this installer once the MSI proved itself. Though admittedly both installers feel very "legacy" at this point.
Removing this would mean we only maintain one Windows GUI installer and would speed up the distribution phase.
As a result of removing InnoSetup, this closes #24397

Replace old GDB and LLDB pretty-printers with new ones
which were originally written for IntelliJ Rust.
New LLDB pretty-printers support synthetic children.
New GDB/LLDB pretty-printers support all Rust types
supported by old pretty-printers, and also support:
Rc, Arc, Cell, Ref, RefCell, RefMut, HashMap, HashSet.

For running the compiler, we usually only need LLVM from `$sysroot/lib`,
which rustup will make available with `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. We've also been
shipping LLVM in the `$target/lib` directory, which bloats the download
and installed size. The only times we do need the latter are for the
RPATH of `llvm-tools-preview` binaries, and for linking `rustc-dev`
libraries. We'll move it to the `llvm-tools-preview` component directly,
and `rustc-dev` will have an implicit dependency on it.
Here are the dist sizes that I got before and after this change:
llvm-tools-1.45.0-dev-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz 1.3M 24M
llvm-tools-1.45.0-dev-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz 748K 17M
rustc-1.45.0-dev-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz 83M 61M
rustc-1.45.0-dev-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz 56M 41M
The installed size should reduce by exactly one `libLLVM.so` (~70-80M),
unless you also install `llvm-tools`, and then it should be identical.

Improve MinGW detection when cross compiling
Official mingw-w64 builds, MSYS2 and LLVM MinGW provide both `gcc.exe` and `$ARCH-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe` so they should not regress but I included CI changes to verify it though `@bors try` (I don't have permission).
This change will come handy when cross compiling from Linux or Cygwin since they use `gcc` as native compiler and `$ARCH-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe` for MinGW. This means users will no longer have to override the linker.

This commit builds on #65501 continue to simplify the build system and
compiler now that we no longer have multiple LLVM backends to ship by
default. Here this switches the compiler back to what it once was long
long ago, which is linking LLVM directly to the compiler rather than
dynamically loading it at runtime. The `codegen-backends` directory of
the sysroot no longer exists and all relevant support in the build
system is removed. Note that `rustc` still supports a dynamically loaded
codegen backend as it did previously, it just no longer supports
dynamically loaded codegen backends in its own sysroot.
Additionally as part of this the `librustc_codegen_llvm` crate now once
again explicitly depends on all of its crates instead of implicitly
loading them through the sysroot. This involved filling out its
`Cargo.toml` and deleting all the now-unnecessary `extern crate`
annotations in the header of the crate. (this in turn required adding a
number of imports for names of macros too).
The end results of this change are:
* Rustbuild's build process for the compiler as all the "oh don't forget
the codegen backend" checks can be easily removed.
* Building `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since it's simply
another compiler crate.
* Managing the dependencies of `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since
it's "just another `Cargo.toml` to edit"
* The build process should be a smidge faster because there's more
parallelism in the main rustc build step rather than splitting
`librustc_codegen_llvm` out to its own step.
* The compiler is expected to be slightly faster by default because the
codegen backend does not need to be dynamically loaded.
* Disabling LLVM as part of rustbuild is still supported, supporting
multiple codegen backends is still supported, and dynamic loading of a
codegen backend is still supported.

Split the rustc target libraries into separate rustc-dev component
This is re-applies a squashed version of #64823 as well as including #65337 to fix bugs noted after merging the first PR.
The second PR is confirmed as fixing windows-gnu, and presumably also fixes other platforms, such as musl (i.e. #65335 should be fixed); `RUSTUP_DIST_SERVER=https://dev-static.rust-lang.org rustup toolchain install nightly-2019-10-16` can be installed to confirm that this is indeed the case.

With #65251 landed there's no need to build two LLVM backends and ship
them with rustc, every target we have now uses the same LLVM backend!
This removes the `src/llvm-emscripten` submodule and additionally
removes all support from rustbuild for building the emscripten LLVM
backend. Multiple codegen backend support is left in place for now, and
this is intended to be an easy 10-15 minute win on CI times by avoiding
having to build LLVM twice.
|
|
This splits out a rustc-dev component with the compiler crates, and
keeps the status quo of default installed files on nightly. The default
changing to not install compiler libraries by default is left for a
future pull request.
However, on stable and beta, this does remove the compiler libraries
from the set of libraries installed by default, as they are never needed
there (per our stability story, they "cannot" be used).

rustbuild: Improve output of `dist` step
* Pass `/Q` to `iscc` on Windows to supress the thousands of lines of
output about compressing documentation.
* Print out what's happening before long steps
* Use `timeit` to print out timing information for long-running
installer assemblies.
* Try to scope output of `Dist ...` to not also encompass actual build steps

Looks like the packaging step for the standard library was happening
twice on CI, but it only needs to happen once! The `Analysis` packaging
step accidentally packaged `Std` instead of relying on compiling `Std`,
which meant that we ended up packaging it twice erroneously.

In #60981 we switched to using src/llvm-project/compiler-rt inside
compiler-builtins rather than a separate copy of it.
In order to have the "c" feature turn on in builds from the source
tarball, we need to include that path in its creation.

Since its inception rustbuild has always worked in three stages: one for
libstd, one for libtest, and one for rustc. These three stages were
architected around crates.io dependencies, where rustc wants to depend
on crates.io crates but said crates don't explicitly depend on libstd,
requiring a sysroot assembly step in the middle. This same logic was
applied for libtest where libtest wants to depend on crates.io crates
(`getopts`) but `getopts` didn't say that it depended on std, so it
needed `std` built ahead of time.
Lots of time has passed since the inception of rustbuild, however,
and we've since gotten to the point where even `std` itself is depending
on crates.io crates (albeit with some wonky configuration). This
commit applies the same logic to the two dependencies that the `test`
crate pulls in from crates.io, `getopts` and `unicode-width`. Over the
many years since rustbuild's inception `unicode-width` was the only
dependency picked up by the `test` crate, so the extra configuration
necessary to get crates building in this crate graph is unlikely to be
too much of a burden on developers.
After this patch it means that there are now only two build phasese of
rustbuild, one for libstd and one for rustc. The libtest/libproc_macro
build phase is all lumped into one now with `std`.
This was originally motivated by rust-lang/cargo#7216 where Cargo was
having to deal with synthesizing dependency edges but this commit makes
them explicit in this repository.
