base: don't expose GHC.Num.{BigNat, Integer, Natural}
We no longer expose GHC.Num.{BigNat, Integer, Natural} from base instead users should get these modules from ghc-bignum.
We make this change to insulate end users from changes to GHC's implementation of big numbers.
Implements CLC proposal 359: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/359

hadrian: remove RTS options in ghc-in-ghci flavour
This patch removes the RTS options passed to ghc in ghc-in-ghci
flavour, to workaround command line argument handling issue in
hls/hie-boot that results in `-O64M` instead of `+RTS -O64M -RTS`
being passed to ghc. It's not a hadrian bug per se, since ghc's own
ghc-in-ghci multi repl works fine, but we should still make sure HLS
works. Closes #26801.

Revert "hadrian: handle findExecutable "" gracefully"
This reverts commit 1e5752f64a522c4025365856d92f78073a7b3bba. The
underlying issue has been fixed in
https://github.com/haskell/directory/commit/75828696e7145adc09179111a0d631b9a09963a4
and present since 1.3.9.0, and hadrian directory lower bound is
1.3.9.0, so we can revert our own in house hack now.

rts: fix typo in TICK_ALLOC_RTS
This patch fixes a typo in the `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` macro, the original
`bytes` argument was silently dropped. The Cmm code has its own
version of `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` not affected by this typo, it affected the
C RTS, and went unnoticed because the variable `n` happened to also be
available at its call site. But the number was incorrect. Also fixes
its call site since `WDS()` is not available in C.

Make the implicit-parameter class have representational role
This MR addresses #26737, by making the built-in class IP
have a representational role for its second parameter.
See Note [IP: implicit parameter class] in
ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Classes.IP
In fact, IP is (unfortunately, currently) exposed by
base:GHC.Base, so we ran a quick CLC proposal to
agree the change:
https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/385
Some (small) compilations get faster because they only need to
load (small) interface file GHC.Internal.Classes.IP.hi,
rather than (large) GHC.Internal.Classes.hi.
Metric Decrease:

testsuite: avoid re.sub in favor of simple string replacements
This patch refactors the testsuite driver and avoids the usage of
re.sub in favor of simple string replacements when possible. The
changes are not comprehensive, and there are still a lot of re.sub
usages lingering around the tree, but this already addresses a major
performance bottleneck in the testsuite driver that might has to do
with quadratic or worse slowdown in cpython's regular expression
engine when handling certain regex patterns with large strings.
Especially on i386, and i386 jobs are the bottlenecks of all full-ci
validate pipelines!
Here are the elapsed times of testing x86_64/i386 with -j48 before
this patch:
x86_64: `Build completed in 6m06s`
i386: `Build completed in 1h36m`
And with this patch:
x86_64: `Build completed in 4m55s`
i386: `Build completed in 4m23s`
Fixes #26786.

hadrian: add missing notCross predicate for stage0 -O0
There are a few hard-coded hadrian args that pass -O0 when compiling
some heavy modules in stage0, which only makes sense when not
cross-compiling and when cross-compiling we need properly optimized
stage0 packages. So this patch adds the missing `notCross` predicate
in those places.

rts: avoid Cmm loop to initialize Array#/SmallArray#
Previously, `newArray#`/`newSmallArray#` called an RTS C function to
allocate the `Array#`/`SmallArray#`, then used a Cmm loop to
initialize the elements. Cmm doesn't have native for-loop so the code
is a bit awkward, and it's less efficient than a C loop, since the C
compiler can effectively vectorize the loop with optimizations.
So this patch moves the loop that initializes the elements to the C
side. `allocateMutArrPtrs`/`allocateSmallMutArrPtrs` now takes a new
`init` argument and initializes the elements if `init` is non-NULL.

Fix testsuite run for +ipe flavour transformer
This patch makes the +ipe flavour transformer pass the entire
testsuite:
- An RTS debug option `-DI` is added, the IPE trace information is now
only printed with `-DI`. The test cases that do require IPE trace
are now run with `-DI`.
- The testsuite config option `ghc_with_ipe` is added, enabled when
running the testsuite with `+ipe`, which skips a few tests that are
sensitive to eventlog output, allocation patterns etc that can fail
under `+ipe`.
This is the first step towards #26799.

ci: only push perf notes on master/release branches
This patch fixes push_perf_notes logic in ci.sh to only push perf
notes on master/release branches. We used to unconditionally push perf
notes even in MRs, but the perf numbers in the wip branches wouldn't
be used as baseline anyway, plus this is causing a space leak in the
ghc-performance-notes repo. See #25317 for the perf notes repo size
problem.

Add operations for obtaining operating-system handles
This contribution implements CLC proposal #369. It adds operations for
obtaining POSIX file descriptors and Windows handles that underlie
Haskell handles. Those operating system handles can also be obtained
without such additional operations, but this is more involved and, more
importantly, requires using internals.
