MachRegs.h: Don't define NO_ARG_REGS when a XMM register is defined
On i386, MAX_REAL_VANILLA_REG is 1, but MAX_REAL_XMM_REG is 4.
If we define NO_ARG_REGS on i386, programs that use SIMD vectors may segfault.
Closes #25985
A couple of notes on the BROKEN_TESTS field:
* This fixes the segfault from T25062_V16.
* The failure from T22187_run was fixed in an earlier commit (see #25561),
but BROKEN_TESTS was missed at that time. Now should be a good time to
mark it fixed.

Improve error messages when implicit lifting fails
This patch concerns programs which automatically try to fix level errors
by inserting `Lift`. For example:
```
foo x = [| x |]
~>
foo x = [| $(lift x) |]
```
Before, there were two problems with the message.
1. (#26031), the location of the error was reported as the whole
quotation.
2. (#26035), the message just mentions there is no Lift instance, but
gives no indicate why the user program needed a Lift instance in the
first place.
This problem is especially bad when you disable
`ImplicitStagePersistence`, so you just end up with a confusing "No
instance for" message rather than an error message about levels
This patch fixes both these issues.
Firstly, `PendingRnSplice` differentiates between a user-written splice
and an implicit lift. Then, the Lift instance is precisely requested
with a specific origin in the typechecker. If the instance fails to be
solved, the message is reported using the `TcRnBadlyLevelled`
constructor (like a normal level error).
Fixes #26031, #26035

compiler: fix GHC.SysTools.Ar archive member size writing logic
This patch fixes a long-standing bug in `GHC.SysTools.Ar` that emits
the wrong archive member size in each archive header. It should encode
the exact length of the member payload, excluding any padding byte,
otherwise malformed archive that extracts a broken object with an
extra trailing byte could be created.
Apart from the in-tree `T26120` test, I've also created an out-of-tree
testsuite at https://github.com/TerrorJack/ghc-ar-quickcheck that
contains QuickCheck roundtrip tests for `GHC.SysTools.Ar`. With this
fix, simple roundtrip tests and `writeGNUAr`/GNU `ar` roundtrip test
passes. There might be more bugs lurking in here, but this patch is
still a critical bugfix already.
Fixes #26120 #22586.

Deprecate -Wdata-kinds-tc, make DataKinds issues in typechecker become errors
!11314 introduced the `-Wdata-kinds-tc` warning as part of a fix for #22141.
This was a temporary stopgap measure to allow users who were accidentally
relying on code which needed the `DataKinds` extension in order to typecheck
without having to explicitly enable the extension.
Now that some amount of time has passed, this patch deprecates
`-Wdata-kinds-tc` and upgrades any `DataKinds`-related issues in the
typechecker (which were previously warnings) into errors.

Visible forall in GADTs (#25127)
Add support for visible dependent quantification `forall a -> t` in
types of data constructors, e.g.
data KindVal a where
K :: forall k.
forall (a::k) -> -- now allowed!
k ->
KindVal a
For details, see docs/users_guide/exts/required_type_arguments.rst,
which has gained a new subsection.
DataCon in compiler/GHC/Core/DataCon.hs
---------------------------------------
The main change in this patch is that DataCon, the Core representation
of a data constructor, now uses a different type to store user-written
type variable binders:
- dcUserTyVarBinders :: [InvisTVBinder]
+ dcUserTyVarBinders :: [TyVarBinder]
where
type TyVarBinder = VarBndr TyVar ForAllTyFlag
type InvisTVBinder = VarBndr TyVar Specificity
and
data Specificity = InferredSpec | SpecifiedSpec
data ForAllTyFlag = Invisible Specificity | Required
This change necessitates some boring, mechanical changes scattered
throughout the diff:
... is now used in place of ...
-----------------+---------------
TyVarBinder | InvisTVBinder
IfaceForAllBndr | IfaceForAllSpecBndr
Specified | SpecifiedSpec
Inferred | InferredSpec
mkForAllTys | mkInvisForAllTys
additionally,
tyVarSpecToBinders -- added or removed calls
ifaceForAllSpecToBndrs -- removed calls
Visibility casts in mkDataConRep
--------------------------------
Type abstractions in Core (/\a. e) always have type (forall a. t)
because coreTyLamForAllTyFlag = Specified. This is also true of data
constructor workers. So we may be faced with the following:
data con worker: (forall a. blah)
data con wrapper: (forall a -> blah)
In this case the wrapper must use a visibility cast (e |> ForAllCo ...)
with appropriately set fco_vis{L,R}. Relevant functions:
mkDataConRep in compiler/GHC/Types/Id/Make.hs
dataConUserTyVarBindersNeedWrapper in compiler/GHC/Core/DataCon.hs
mkForAllVisCos in compiler/GHC/Core/Coercion.hs
mkCoreTyLams in compiler/GHC/Core/Make.hs
mkWpForAllCast in compiler/GHC/Tc/Types/Evidence.hs
More specifically:
- dataConUserTyVarBindersNeedWrapper has been updated to answer "yes"
if there are visible foralls in the type of the data constructor.
- mkDataConRep now uses mkCoreTyLams to generate the big lambda
abstractions (/\a b c. e) in the data con wrapper.
- mkCoreTyLams is a variant of mkCoreLams that applies visibility casts
as needed. It similar in purpose to the pre-existing mkWpForAllCast,
so the common bits have been factored out into mkForAllVisCos.
ConDecl in compiler/Language/Haskell/Syntax/Decls.hs
----------------------------------------------------
The surface syntax representation of a data constructor declaration is
ConDecl. In accordance with the proposal, only GADT syntax is extended
with support for visible forall, so we are interested in ConDeclGADT.
ConDeclGADT's field con_bndrs has been renamed to con_outer_bndrs
and is now accompanied by con_inner_bndrs:
con_outer_bndrs :: XRec pass (HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs pass)
con_inner_bndrs :: [HsForAllTelescope pass]
Visible foralls always end up in con_inner_bndrs. The outer binders are
stored and processed separately to support implicit quantification and
the forall-or-nothing rule, a design established by HsSigType.
A side effect of this change is that even in absence of visible foralls,
GHC now permits multiple invisible foralls, e.g.
data T a where { MkT :: forall a b. forall c d. ... -> T a }
But of course, this is done in service of making at least some of these
foralls visible. The entire compiler front-end has been updated to deal
with con_inner_bndrs. See the following modified or added functions:
Parser:
mkGadtDecl in compiler/GHC/Parser/PostProcess.hs
splitLHsGadtTy in compiler/GHC/Hs/Type.hs
Pretty-printer:
pprConDecl in compiler/GHC/Hs/Decls.hs
pprHsForAllTelescope in compiler/GHC/Hs/Type.hs
Renamer:
rnConDecl in compiler/GHC/Rename/Module.hs
bindHsForAllTelescopes in compiler/GHC/Rename/HsType.hs
extractHsForAllTelescopes in compiler/GHC/Rename/HsType.hs
Type checker:
tcConDecl in compiler/GHC/Tc/TyCl.hs
tcGadtConTyVarBndrs in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/HsType.hs
Template Haskell
----------------
The TH AST is left unchanged for the moment to avoid breakage. An
attempt to quote or reify a data constructor declaration with visible
forall in its type will result an error:
data ThRejectionReason -- in GHC/HsToCore/Errors/Types.hs
= ...
| ThDataConVisibleForall -- new error constructor
However, as noted in the previous section, GHC now permits multiple
invisible foralls, and TH was updated accordingly. Updated code:
repC in compiler/GHC/HsToCore/Quote.hs
reifyDataCon in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Splice.hs
ppr @Con in libraries/ghc-boot-th/GHC/Boot/TH/Ppr.hs
Pattern matching
----------------
Everything described above concerns data constructor declarations, but
what about their use sites? Now it is trickier to type check a pattern
match fn(Con a b c)=... because we can no longer assume that a,b,c are
all value arguments. Indeed, some or all of them may very well turn out
to be required type arguments.
To that end, see the changes to:
tcDataConPat in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Pat.hs
splitConTyArgs in compiler/GHC/Tc/Gen/Pat.hs
and the new helpers split_con_ty_args, zip_pats_bndrs.
This is also the reason the TcRnTooManyTyArgsInConPattern error
constructor has been removed. The new code emits TcRnArityMismatch
or TcRnIllegalInvisibleTypePattern.
Summary
-------
DataCon, ConDecl, as well as all related functions have been updated to
support required type arguments in data constructors.
Test cases:
HieGadtConSigs GadtConSigs_th_dump1 GadtConSigs_th_pprint1

Remove hptAllFamInstances usage during upsweep
Fixes #26118
This change eliminates the use of hptAllFamInstances during the upsweep phase,

The following updates were made:
* Updated checkFamInstConsistency to accept an explicit ModuleEnv FamInstEnv
parameter and removed the call to hptAllFamInstances.
* Adjusted hugInstancesBelow so we can construct ModuleEnv FamInstEnv
from its result,
* hptAllFamInstances and allFamInstances functions are removed.

hadrian: Use settings-use-distro-mingw directly
The type `ToolchainSetting` only made sense when we had more settings to
fetch from the system config file. Even then "settings-use-distro-mingw"
is arguably not a toolchain setting.
With the fix for #23675, all toolchain tools were moved to the
`ghc-toolchain` `Toolchain` format. Therefore, we can inline
`settings-use-distro-mingw` accesses and delete `ToolchainSetting`.

Teach `:reload` about multiple home units
`:reload` needs to lookup the `ModuleName` and must not assume the given
`ModuleName` is in the current `HomeUnit`.
We add a new utility function which allows us to find a `HomeUnitModule`
instead of a `Module`.
Further, we introduce the `GhciCommandError` type which can be used to
abort the execution of a GHCi command.
This error is caught and printed in a human readable fashion.

Implement `-fno-load-initial-targets` flag
We add the new flag `-fno-load-initial-targets` which doesn't load all `Target`s
immediately but only computes the module graph for all `Target`s.
The user can then decide to load modules from that module graph using
the syntax:
ghci> :reload <Mod>
This will load everything in the module graph up to `Mod`.
The user can return to the initial state by using the builtin target
`none` to unload all modules.
ghci> :reload none
Is in principle identical to starting a new session with the
`-fno-load-initial-targets` flag.
The `-fno-load-initial-targets` flag allows for faster startup time of GHCi when a
user has lots of `Target`s.
We additionally extend the `:reload` command to accept multiple
`ModuleName`s. For example:
ghci> :reload <Mod1> <Mod2>
Loads all modules up to the modules `Mod1` and `Mod2`.

ipe: Use stable IDs for IPE entries
IPEs have historically been indexed and reported by their address.
This makes it impossible to compare profiles between runs, since the
addresses may change (due to ASLR) and also makes it tricky to separate
out the IPE map from the binary.
This small patch adds a stable identifier for each IPE entry.
The stable identifier is a single 64 bit word. The high-bits are a
per-module identifier and the low bits identify which entry in each
module.
1. When a node is added into the IPE buffer it is assigned a unique
identifier from an incrementing global counter.
2. Each entry already has an index by it's position in the
`IpeBufferListNode`.
The two are combined together by the `IPE_ENTRY_KEY` macro.
Info table profiling uses the stable identifier rather than the address
of the info table.
The benefits of this change are:
* Profiles from different runs can be easily compared
* The metadata can be extracted from the binary (via the eventlog for
example) and then stripped from the executable.
Fixes #21766
