Implement new asm! syntax from RFC 2850
This PR implements the new `asm!` syntax proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2850.
# Design
A large part of this PR revolves around taking an `asm!` macro invocation and plumbing it through all of the compiler layers down to LLVM codegen. Throughout the various stages, an `InlineAsm` generally consists of 3 components:
- The template string, which is stored as an array of `InlineAsmTemplatePiece`. Each piece represents either a literal or a placeholder for an operand (just like format strings).
```rust
pub enum InlineAsmTemplatePiece {
String(String),
Placeholder { operand_idx: usize, modifier: Option<char>, span: Span },
}
```
- The list of operands to the `asm!` (`in`, `[late]out`, `in[late]out`, `sym`, `const`). These are represented differently at each stage of lowering, but follow a common pattern:
- `in`, `out` and `inout` all have an associated register class (`reg`) or explicit register (`"eax"`).
- `inout` has 2 forms: one with a single expression that is both read from and written to, and one with two separate expressions for the input and output parts.
- `out` and `inout` have a `late` flag (`lateout` / `inlateout`) to indicate that the register allocator is allowed to reuse an input register for this output.
- `out` and the split variant of `inout` allow `_` to be specified for an output, which means that the output is discarded. This is used to allocate scratch registers for assembly code.
- `sym` is a bit special since it only accepts a path expression, which must point to a `static` or a `fn`.
- The options set at the end of the `asm!` macro. The only one that is particularly of interest to rustc is `NORETURN` which makes `asm!` return `!` instead of `()`.
```rust
bitflags::bitflags! {
pub struct InlineAsmOptions: u8 {
const PURE = 1 << 0;
const NOMEM = 1 << 1;
const READONLY = 1 << 2;
const PRESERVES_FLAGS = 1 << 3;
const NORETURN = 1 << 4;
const NOSTACK = 1 << 5;
}
}
```
## AST
`InlineAsm` is represented as an expression in the AST:
```rust
pub struct InlineAsm {
pub template: Vec<InlineAsmTemplatePiece>,
pub operands: Vec<(InlineAsmOperand, Span)>,
pub options: InlineAsmOptions,
}
pub enum InlineAsmRegOrRegClass {
Reg(Symbol),
RegClass(Symbol),
}
pub enum InlineAsmOperand {
In {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
expr: P<Expr>,
},
Out {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
expr: Option<P<Expr>>,
},
InOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
expr: P<Expr>,
},
SplitInOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
in_expr: P<Expr>,
out_expr: Option<P<Expr>>,
},
Const {
expr: P<Expr>,
},
Sym {
expr: P<Expr>,
},
}
```
The `asm!` macro is implemented in librustc_builtin_macros and outputs an `InlineAsm` AST node. The template string is parsed using libfmt_macros, positional and named operands are resolved to explicit operand indicies. Since target information is not available to macro invocations, validation of the registers and register classes is deferred to AST lowering.
## HIR
`InlineAsm` is represented as an expression in the HIR:
```rust
pub struct InlineAsm<'hir> {
pub template: &'hir [InlineAsmTemplatePiece],
pub operands: &'hir [InlineAsmOperand<'hir>],
pub options: InlineAsmOptions,
}
pub enum InlineAsmRegOrRegClass {
Reg(InlineAsmReg),
RegClass(InlineAsmRegClass),
}
pub enum InlineAsmOperand<'hir> {
In {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
expr: Expr<'hir>,
},
Out {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
expr: Option<Expr<'hir>>,
},
InOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
expr: Expr<'hir>,
},
SplitInOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
in_expr: Expr<'hir>,
out_expr: Option<Expr<'hir>>,
},
Const {
expr: Expr<'hir>,
},
Sym {
expr: Expr<'hir>,
},
}
```
AST lowering is where `InlineAsmRegOrRegClass` is converted from `Symbol`s to an actual register or register class. If any modifiers are specified for a template string placeholder, these are validated against the set allowed for that operand type. Finally, explicit registers for inputs and outputs are checked for conflicts (same register used for different operands).
## Type checking
Each register class has a whitelist of types that it may be used with. After the types of all operands have been determined, the `intrinsicck` pass will check that these types are in the whitelist. It also checks that split `inout` operands have compatible types and that `const` operands are integers or floats. Suggestions are emitted where needed if a template modifier should be used for an operand based on the type that was passed into it.
## HAIR
`InlineAsm` is represented as an expression in the HAIR:
```rust
crate enum ExprKind<'tcx> {
// [..]
InlineAsm {
template: &'tcx [InlineAsmTemplatePiece],
operands: Vec<InlineAsmOperand<'tcx>>,
options: InlineAsmOptions,
},
}
crate enum InlineAsmOperand<'tcx> {
In {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
expr: ExprRef<'tcx>,
},
Out {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
expr: Option<ExprRef<'tcx>>,
},
InOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
expr: ExprRef<'tcx>,
},
SplitInOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
in_expr: ExprRef<'tcx>,
out_expr: Option<ExprRef<'tcx>>,
},
Const {
expr: ExprRef<'tcx>,
},
SymFn {
expr: ExprRef<'tcx>,
},
SymStatic {
expr: ExprRef<'tcx>,
},
}
```
The only significant change compared to HIR is that `Sym` has been lowered to either a `SymFn` whose `expr` is a `Literal` ZST of the `fn`, or a `SymStatic` whose `expr` is a `StaticRef`.
## MIR
`InlineAsm` is represented as a `Terminator` in the MIR:
```rust
pub enum TerminatorKind<'tcx> {
// [..]
/// Block ends with an inline assembly block. This is a terminator since
/// inline assembly is allowed to diverge.
InlineAsm {
/// The template for the inline assembly, with placeholders.
template: &'tcx [InlineAsmTemplatePiece],
/// The operands for the inline assembly, as `Operand`s or `Place`s.
operands: Vec<InlineAsmOperand<'tcx>>,
/// Miscellaneous options for the inline assembly.
options: InlineAsmOptions,
/// Destination block after the inline assembly returns, unless it is
/// diverging (InlineAsmOptions::NORETURN).
destination: Option<BasicBlock>,
},
}
pub enum InlineAsmOperand<'tcx> {
In {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
value: Operand<'tcx>,
},
Out {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
place: Option<Place<'tcx>>,
},
InOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
in_value: Operand<'tcx>,
out_place: Option<Place<'tcx>>,
},
Const {
value: Operand<'tcx>,
},
SymFn {
value: Box<Constant<'tcx>>,
},
SymStatic {
value: Box<Constant<'tcx>>,
},
}
```
As part of HAIR lowering, `InOut` and `SplitInOut` operands are lowered to a split form with a separate `in_value` and `out_place`.
Semantically, the `InlineAsm` terminator is similar to the `Call` terminator except that it has multiple output places where a `Call` only has a single return place output.
The constant promotion pass is used to ensure that `const` operands are actually constants (using the same logic as `#[rustc_args_required_const]`).
## Codegen
Operands are lowered one more time before being passed to LLVM codegen:
```rust
pub enum InlineAsmOperandRef<'tcx, B: BackendTypes + ?Sized> {
In {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
value: OperandRef<'tcx, B::Value>,
},
Out {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
place: Option<PlaceRef<'tcx, B::Value>>,
},
InOut {
reg: InlineAsmRegOrRegClass,
late: bool,
in_value: OperandRef<'tcx, B::Value>,
out_place: Option<PlaceRef<'tcx, B::Value>>,
},
Const {
string: String,
},
SymFn {
instance: Instance<'tcx>,
},
SymStatic {
def_id: DefId,
},
}
```
The operands are lowered to LLVM operands and constraint codes as follow:
- `out` and the output part of `inout` operands are added first, as required by LLVM. Late output operands have a `=` prefix added to their constraint code, non-late output operands have a `=&` prefix added to their constraint code.
- `in` operands are added normally.
- `inout` operands are tied to the matching output operand.
- `sym` operands are passed as function pointers or pointers, using the `"s"` constraint.
- `const` operands are formatted to a string and directly inserted in the template string.
The template string is converted to LLVM form:
- `$` characters are escaped as `$$`.
- `const` operands are converted to strings and inserted directly.
- Placeholders are formatted as `${X:M}` where `X` is the operand index and `M` is the modifier character. Modifiers are converted from the Rust form to the LLVM form.
The various options are converted to clobber constraints or LLVM attributes, refer to the [RFC](https://github.com/Amanieu/rfcs/blob/inline-asm/text/0000-inline-asm.md#mapping-to-llvm-ir) for more details.
Note that LLVM is sometimes rather picky about what types it accepts for certain constraint codes so we sometimes need to insert conversions to/from a supported type. See the target-specific ISelLowering.cpp files in LLVM for details.
# Adding support for new architectures
Adding inline assembly support to an architecture is mostly a matter of defining the registers and register classes for that architecture. All the definitions for register classes are located in `src/librustc_target/asm/`.
Additionally you will need to implement lowering of these register classes to LLVM constraint codes in `src/librustc_codegen_llvm/asm.rs`.

make offset must_use
https://djugei.github.io/bad-at-unsafe/ describes an error a user had when trying to use offset:
> At first I just assumed that the .add() and .offset() methods on pointers would mutate the pointer. They do not. Instead they return a new pointer, which gets dropped silently if you don't use it. Unlike for example Result, which is must_use annotated.
This PR only adds `offset`, because I wanted to float the idea; I'm imagining that there's more than just `add` and `offset` that could use this. I am also very open to re-wording the warning.

Many default iterator methods use `try_fold` or `fold`, and these ones
can too.
|
|
`fold` is currently implemented via `try_fold`, but implementing it
directly results in slightly less LLVM IR being generated, speeding up
compilation of some benchmarks.
(And likewise for `rfold`.)
The commit adds `fold` implementations to all the iterators that lack
one but do have a `try_fold` implementation. Most of these just call the
`try_fold` implementation directly.

make abort intrinsic safe, and correct its documentation
Turns out `std::process::abort` is not the same as the intrinsic, the comment was just wrong. Quoting from the unix implementation:
```
// On Unix-like platforms, libc::abort will unregister signal handlers
// including the SIGABRT handler, preventing the abort from being blocked, and
// fclose streams, with the side effect of flushing them so libc buffered
// output will be printed. Additionally the shell will generally print a more
// understandable error message like "Abort trap" rather than "Illegal
// instruction" that intrinsics::abort would cause, as intrinsics::abort is
// implemented as an illegal instruction.
```

Rework the std::iter::Step trait
Previous attempts: #43127 #62886 #68807
Tracking issue: #42168
This PR reworks the `Step` trait to be phrased in terms of the *successor* and *predecessor* operations. With this, `Step` hopefully has a consistent identity that can have a path towards stabilization. The proposed trait:
```rust

Step::backward(start, count)
}
}
```
Note that all of these are associated functions and not callable via method syntax; the calling syntax is always `Step::forward(start, n)`. This version of the trait additionally changes the stepping functions to talk their arguments by value.
As opposed to previous attempts which provided a "step by one" method directly, this version of the trait only exposes "step by n". There are a few reasons for this:
- `Range*`, the primary consumer of `Step`, assumes that the "step by n" operation is cheap. If a single step function is provided, it will be a lot more enticing to implement "step by n" as n repeated calls to "step by one". While this is not strictly incorrect, this behavior would be surprising for anyone used to using `Range<{primitive integer}>`.
- With a trivial default impl, this can be easily added backwards-compatibly later.
- The debug-wrapping "step by n" needs to exist for `RangeFrom` to be consistent between "step by n" and "step by one" operation. (Note: the behavior is not changed by this PR, but making the behavior consistent is made tenable by this PR.)
Three "kinds" of step are provided: `_checked`, which returns an `Option` indicating attempted overflow; (unsuffixed), which provides "safe overflow" behavior (is allowed to panic, wrap, or saturate, depending on what is most convenient for a given type); and `_unchecked`, which is a version which assumes overflow does not happen.
Review is appreciated to check that:
- The invariants as described on the `Step` functions are enough to specify the "common sense" consistency for successor/predecessor.
- Implementation of `Step` functions is correct in the face of overflow and the edges of representable integers.
- Added tests of `Step` functions are asserting the correct behavior (and not just the implemented behavior).

Use min_specialization in liballoc
- Remove a type parameter from `[A]RcFromIter`.
- Remove an implementation of `[A]RcFromIter` that didn't actually
specialize anything.
- Remove unused implementation of `IsZero` for `Option<&mut T>`.
- Change specializations of `[A]RcEqIdent` to use a marker trait version
of `Eq`.
- Remove `BTreeClone`. I couldn't find a way to make this work with
`min_specialization`.
- Add `rustc_unsafe_specialization_marker` to `Copy` and `TrustedLen`.
After this only libcore is the only standard library crate using `feature(specialization)`.

Be slightly more precise about any::type_name()'s guarantees.
The first commit in this PR rephrases the current documentation for `any::type_name()` to be a little more specific about the guarantees (or lack thereof) that this function makes. The second commit explicitly documents that lifetimes are currently not included in the output (since this bit me particularly hard recently).

The previous definition did not optimize down to a single add operation,
but this version does appear to.

Currently it uses `for x in self`, which seems dubious within an
iterator method. Furthermore, `self.next()` is used in all the other
iterator methods.
|
|
The default implementations of several `Iterator` methods use `fold` or
`try_fold`, which works, but is overkill for slices and bloats the
amount of LLVM IR generated and consequently hurts compile times.
This commit adds the simple, obvious implementations for `for_each`,
`all`, `any`, `find`, `find_map`, and simplifies the existing
implementations for `position` and `rposition`. These changes reduce
compile times significantly on some benchmarks.

Add core::future::{pending,ready}
Adds two future constructors to `core`: `future::ready` and `future::pending`. These functions enable constructing futures of any type that either immediately resolve, or never resolve which is an incredible useful tool when writing documentation.
These functions have prior art in both the `futures` and `async-std` crates. This implementation has been adapted from the `futures` crate.
## Examples
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70817 we propose adding the `ready!` macro. In the example we use an `async fn` which does not return a future that implements `Unpin`, which leads to the use of `unsafe`. Instead had we had `future::ready` available, we could've written the same example without using `unsafe`:
```rust
use core::task::{Context, Poll};
use core::future::{self, Future};
use core::pin::Pin;
pub fn do_poll(cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<()> {
let mut fut = future::ready(42_u8);
let num = ready!(Pin::new(fut).poll(cx));
// ... use num
Poll::Ready(())
}
```
## Why future::ready?
Arguably `future::ready` and `async {}` can be considered equivalent. The main differences are that `future::ready` returns a future that implements `Unpin`, and the returned future is a concrete type. This is useful for traits that require a future as an associated type that can sometimes be a no-op ([example](https://docs.rs/http-service/0.4.0/http_service/trait.HttpService.html#associatedtype.ConnectionFuture)).
The final, minor argument is that `future::ready` and `future::pending` form a counterpart to the enum members of `Poll`: `Ready` and `Pending`. These functions form a conceptual bridge between `Poll` and `Future`, and can be used as a useful teaching device.
