ipe: Place strings and metadata into specific .ipe section
By placing the .ipe metadata into a specific section it can be stripped
from the final binary if desired.
```
objcopy --remove-section .ipe <binary>

ipe: Place magic word at the start of entries in the .ipe section
The magic word "IPE\nIPE\n" is placed at the start of .ipe sections,
then if the section is stripped, we can check whether the section starts
with the magic word or not to determine whether there is metadata
present or not.

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.

hadrian: enable terminfo if --with-curses-* flags are given
The GHC make build system used to support WITH_TERMINFO in ghc.mk which
allowed controlling whether to build GHC with terminfo or not. hadrian
has replaced this with a system where this is effectively controlled by
the cross-compiling setting (the default WITH_TERMINFO value was bassed
on CrossCompiling, iirc).
This behavior is undesireable in some cases and there is not really a
good way to work around it. Especially for downstream packagers,
modifying this via UserSettings is not really feasible since such a
source file has to be kept in sync with Settings/Default.hs manually
since it can't import Settings.Default or any predefined Flavour
definitions.
To avoid having to add a new setting to cfg/system.config and/or a new
configure flag (though I'm happy to implement both if required), I've
chosen to take --with-curses-* being set explicitly as an indication
that the user wants to have terminfo enabled. This would work for
Nixpkgs which sets these flags [1] as well as haskell.nix [2] (which
goes to some extreme measures [3] [4] to force terminfo in all scenarios).
In general, I'm an advocate for making the GHC build be the same for
native and cross insofar it is possible since it makes packaging GHC and
Haskell related things while still supporting cross much less
compilicated. A more minimal GHC with reduced dependencies should
probably be a specific flavor, not the default.
Partially addresses #26288 by forcing terminfo to be built if the user
explicitly passes configure flags related to it. However, it isn't built
by default when cross-compiling yet nor is there an explicit way to
control the package being built.

Handle non-fractional CmmFloats in Cmm's CBE (#26229)
Since f8d9d016305be355f518c141f6c6d4826f2de9a2, toRational for Float and
Double converts float's infinity and NaN into Rational's infinity and
NaN (respectively 1%0 and 0%0).
Cmm CommonBlockEliminator hashing function needs to take these values
into account as they can appear as literals now. See added testcase.

Improve deep subsumption
This commit improves the DeepSubsumption sub-typing implementation
in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.tc_sub_type_deep by being less eager to fall back
to unification.
For example, we now are properly able to prove the subtyping relationship
((∀ a. a->a) -> Int) -> Bool <= β[tau] Bool
for an unfilled metavariable β. In this case (with an AppTy on the right),
we used to fall back to unification. No longer: now, given that the LHS
is a FunTy and that the RHS is a deep rho type (does not need any instantiation),
we try to make the RHS into a FunTy, viz.
β := (->) γ
We can then continue using covariance & contravariance of the function
arrow, which allows us to prove the subtyping relationship, instead of
trying to unify which would cause us to error out with:
Couldn't match expected type ‘β’ with actual type ‘(->) ((∀ a. a -> a) -> Int)
See Note [FunTy vs non-FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.
The other main improvement in this patch concerns type inference.
The main subsumption logic happens (before & after this patch) in
GHC.Tc.Gen.App.checkResultTy. However, before this patch, all of the
DeepSubsumption logic only kicked in in 'check' mode, not in 'infer' mode.
This patch adds deep instantiation in the 'infer' mode of checkResultTy
when we are doing deep subsumption, which allows us to accept programs
such as:
f :: Int -> (forall a. a->a)
g :: Int -> Bool -> Bool
test1 b =
case b of
True -> f
False -> g
test2 b =
case b of
True -> g
False -> f
See Note [Deeply instantiate in checkResultTy when inferring].
Finally, we add representation-polymorphism checks to ensure that the
lambda abstractions we introduce when doing subsumption obey the
representation polymorphism invariants of Note [Representation polymorphism invariants]
in GHC.Core. See Note [FunTy vs FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep].
This is accompanied by a courtesy change to `(<.>) :: HsWrapper -> HsWrapper -> HsWrapper`,
adding the equation:
WpCast c1 <.> WpCast c2 = WpCast (c1 `mkTransCo` c2)
This is useful because mkWpFun does not introduce an eta-expansion when
both of the argument & result wrappers are casts; so this change allows
us to avoid introducing lambda abstractions when casts suffice.

rts: ensure MessageBlackHole.link is always a valid closure
We turn a MessageBlackHole into an StgInd in wakeBlockingQueue().
Therefore it's important that the link field, which becomes the
indirection field, always points to a valid closure.
It's unclear whether it's currently possible for the previous behaviour
to lead to a crash, but it's good to be consistent about this invariant nonetheless.

rts: spin if we see a WHITEHOLE in messageBlackHole
When a BLACKHOLE gets cancelled in raiseAsync, we indirect to a THUNK.
GC can then shortcut this, replacing our BLACKHOLE with a fresh THUNK.
This THUNK is not guaranteed to have a valid indirectee field.
If at the same time, a message intended for the previous BLACKHOLE is
processed and concurrently we BLACKHOLE the THUNK, thus temporarily
turning it into a WHITEHOLE, we can get a segfault, since we look at the
undefined indirectee field of the THUNK
The fix is simple: spin if we see a WHITEHOLE, and it will soon be
replaced with a valid BLACKHOLE.
