Add an intrinsic for `ptr::metadata`
The follow-up to #123840, so we can remove `PtrComponents` and `PtrRepr` from libcore entirely (well, after a bootstrap update).
As discussed in <435637808>, this introduces `UnOp::PtrMetadata` taking a raw pointer and returning the associated metadata value.
By no longer going through a `union`, this should also help future PRs better optimize pointer operations.
r? ``@oli-obk``
This replaces the drop_in_place reference with null in vtables. On
librustc_driver.so, this drops about ~17k dynamic relocations from the
output, since many vtables can now be placed in read-only memory, rather
than having a relocated pointer included.
This makes a tradeoff by adding a null check at vtable call sites.
That's hard to avoid without changing the vtable format (e.g., to use a
pc-relative relocation instead of an absolute address, and avoid the
dynamic relocation that way). But it seems likely that the check is
cheap at runtime.
rename ptr::from_exposed_addr -> ptr::with_exposed_provenance
As discussed on [Zulip](427757066).
The old name, `from_exposed_addr`, makes little sense as it's not the address that is exposed, it's the provenance. (`ptr.expose_addr()` stays unchanged as we haven't found a better option yet. The intended interpretation is "expose the provenance and return the address".)
The new name nicely matches `ptr::without_provenance`.
Codegen const panic messages as function calls
This skips emitting extra arguments at every callsite (of which there
can be many). For a librustc_driver build with overflow checks enabled,
this cuts 0.7MB from the resulting shared library (see [perf]).
A sample improvement from nightly:
```
leaq str.0(%rip), %rdi
leaq .Lalloc_d6aeb8e2aa19de39a7f0e861c998af13(%rip), %rdx
movl $25, %esi
callq *_ZN4core9panicking5panic17h17cabb89c5bcc999E@GOTPCREL(%rip)
```
to this PR:
```
