The issue of passing around SIMD types as values between functions has
seen [quite a lot] of [discussion], and although we thought [we fixed
it][quite a lot] it [wasn't]! This PR is a change to rustc to, again,
try to fix this issue.
The fundamental problem here remains the same, if a SIMD vector argument
is passed by-value in LLVM's function type, then if the caller and
callee disagree on target features a miscompile happens. We solve this
by never passing SIMD vectors by-value, but LLVM will still thwart us
with its argument promotion pass to promote by-ref SIMD arguments to
by-val SIMD arguments.
This commit is an attempt to thwart LLVM thwarting us. We, just before
codegen, will take yet another look at the LLVM module and demote any
by-value SIMD arguments we see. This is a very manual attempt by us to
ensure the codegen for a module keeps working, and it unfortunately is
likely producing suboptimal code, even in release mode. The saving grace
for this, in theory, is that if SIMD types are passed by-value across
a boundary in release mode it's pretty unlikely to be performance
sensitive (as it's already doing a load/store, and otherwise
perf-sensitive bits should be inlined).
The implementation here is basically a big wad of C++. It was largely
copied from LLVM's own argument promotion pass, only doing the reverse.
In local testing this...

Allow for opting out of ThinLTO and clean up LTO related cli flag handling.
It turns out that there currently is no way to explicitly disable ThinLTO (except for the nightly-only `-Zthinlto` flag). This PR extends `-C lto` to take `yes` and `no` in addition to `thin` and `fat`. It should be backwards compatible.
It also cleans up how LTO mode selection is handled.
Note that merging the PR in the current state would make the new values for `-C lto` available on the stable channel. I think that would be fine but maybe some team should vote on it.
rustc: Prepare the `atomics` feature for wasm
This commit adds a few changes for atomic instructions on the
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` target. Atomic instructions are not yet stable in
WebAssembly itself but there are multiple implementations and LLVM has support
for the proposed instruction set, so let's work on exposing it!
Here there are a few inclusions:
* The `atomics` feature was whitelisted for LLVM, allowing code in Rust to
enable/disable/gate on this.
* The `singlethread` option is turned off for wasm when the `atomics` feature is
enabled. This means that by default wasm won't be lowering with atomics, but
when atomics are enabled globally we'll turn off single-threaded mode to
actually codegen atomics. This probably isn't what we'll want in the long term
but for now it should work.
* Finally the maximum atomic width is increased to 64 to reflect the current
wasm spec.

This fixes a regression from #53031 where specifying `-C target-cpu=native` is
printing a lot of warnings from LLVM about `native` being an unknown CPU. It
turns out that `native` is indeed an unknown CPU and we have to perform a
mapping to an actual CPU name, but this mapping is only performed in one
location rather than all locations we inform LLVM about the target CPU.
This commit centralizes the mapping of `native` to LLVM's value of the native
CPU, ensuring that all locations we inform LLVM about the `target-cpu` it's
never `native`.

try to infer linker flavor from linker name and vice versa
This is a second take on PR #50359 that implements the logic proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/50359#pullrequestreview-116663121
With this change it would become possible to link `thumb*` binaries using GNU's LD on stable as `-C linker=arm-none-eabi-ld` would be enough to change both the linker and the linker flavor from their default values of `arm-none-eabi-gcc` and `gcc`.
To link `thumb*` binaries using rustc's LLD on stable `-Z linker-flavor` would need to be stabilized as `-C linker=rust-lld -Z linker-flavor=ld.lld` are both required to change the linker and the linker flavor, but this PR doesn't propose that. We would probably need some sort of stability guarantee around `rust-lld`'s name and availability to make linking with rustc's LLD truly stable.
With this change it would also be possible to link `thumb*` binaries using a system installed LLD on stable using the `-C linker=ld.lld` flag (provided that `ld.lld` is a symlink to the system installed LLD).

Previously linker diagnostic were being hidden when two modules were linked
together but failed to link. This commit fixes the situation by ensuring that we
have a diagnostic handler installed and also adds support for handling linker
diagnostics.
Remove `ty_to_def_id`
fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/52341
The uses were mostly convenience and generally "too powerful" (would also have worked for types that weren't interesting at the use site)
