Currently, it's very challenging to perform a sandboxed `opt-dist`
bootstrap because the tool requires `rustc-perf` to be present, but
there is no proper management/tracking of it. Instead, a specific commit
is hardcoded where it is needed, and a non-checksummed zip is fetched
ad-hoc. This happens in two places:
`src/ci/docker/host-x86_64/dist-x86_64-linux/Dockerfile`:
```dockerfile
ENV PERF_COMMIT 4f313add609f43e928e98132358e8426ed3969ae
RUN curl -LS -o perf.zip https://ci-mirrors.rust-lang.org/rustc/rustc-perf-$PERF_COMMIT.zip && \
unzip perf.zip && \
mv rustc-perf-$PERF_COMMIT rustc-perf && \
rm perf.zip
```
`src/tools/opt-dist/src/main.rs`
```rust
// FIXME: add some mechanism for synchronization of this commit SHA with
// Linux (which builds rustc-perf in a Dockerfile)
// rustc-perf version from 2023-10-22
const PERF_COMMIT: &str = "4f313add609f43e928e98132358e8426ed3969ae";
let url = format!("https://ci-mirrors.rust-lang.org/rustc/rustc-perf-{PERF_COMMIT}.zip");
let client = reqwest::blocking::Client::builder()
.timeout(Duration::from_secs(60 * 2))
.connect_timeout(Duration::from_secs(60 * 2))
.build()?;
let response = retry_action(
|| Ok(client.get(&url).send()?.error_for_status()?.bytes()?.to_vec()),
"Download rustc-perf archive",
5,
)?;
```
This causes a few issues:
1. Maintainers need to be careful to bump PERF_COMMIT in both places
every time
2. In order to run `opt-dist` in a sandbox, you need to provide your own
`rustc-perf` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125125), but to
figure out which commit to provide you need to grep the Dockerfile
3. Even if you manage to provide the correct `rustc-perf`, its
dependencies are not included in the `vendor/` dir created during
`dist`, so it will fail to build from the published source tarballs
4. It is hard to provide any level of automation around updating the
`rustc-perf` in use, leading to staleness
Fundamentally, this means `rustc-src` tarballs no longer contain
everything you need to bootstrap Rust, and packagers hoping to leverage
`opt-dist` need to go out of their way to keep track of this "hidden"
dependency on `rustc-perf`.
This change adds rustc-perf as a git submodule, pinned to the current
`PERF_COMMIT` 4f313add609f43e928e98132358e8426ed3969ae. Subsequent
commits ensure the submodule is initialized when necessary, and make use
of it in `opt-dist`.
