hadrian: fix HLS support

This patch fixes hadrian's HLS support so one can rely on HLS when
working on the hadrian codebase. Fixes #27480.

Not building/linking shared libraries for hadrian is a severely
premature optimization; this top-level setting in `cabal.project` only
affects home packages while the dependencies in the cabal store are
built with vanilla/dynamic anyway, and even adding dynamic builds to
home packages would not be costly due to cabal's usage of
`-dynamic-too`.

compiler: fix miscompiled %load_relaxed, add missing %store_relaxed

This patch fixes the %load_relaxed cmm primop compilation logic to
correctly use relaxed memory ordering, and adds the missing
%store_relaxed primop. Parsing logic of %load/%store with explicit
ordering is covered in the AtomicFetch test case. Fixes #27483.

EPA: Keep binds and sigs together in HsValBindsLR

We combine them into a single list for GhcPs, wrapped in the
ValBind data type, which is the bind equivalent of ValD, having
constructors for binds and sigs.

This simplifies exact print processing, especially when using it to
update the contents of local binds, as we no longer need AnnSortKey
BindTag

testsuite: fix bytecodeIPE test under +ipe flavours

This patch fixes the bytecodeIPE test under +ipe flavours. It used to
fail under +ipe because the RTS is built with IPE info, then
stg_AP_info in RTS carries IPE info, so whereFrom wouldn't return
Nothing. Now the test checks IPE info of a datacon in the ghci-loaded
module which is not affected by whether the RTS is built with IPE info
or not. Fixes #27498.

rts: fix missing UNTAG in stg_readTVarIOzh

This patch fixes missing UNTAG on the current value closure read from
StgTVar. UNTAG is a no-op when it's stg_TREC_HEADER_info which is word
aligned; it may be a tagged closure, and reading info table from the
tagged address is an unaligned load which may cause issues on
platforms with strict alignment requirements.

rts: fix missing UNTAG in stg_control0zh_ll

This patch fixes missing UNTAG on the cont closure returned by
captureContinuationAndAbort. In case it's not NULL,
captureContinuationAndAbort returns a tagged StgContinuation closure,
in which case it must be untagged before accessing the
apply_mask_frame field.

In the past it worked out of luck: when apply_mask_frame was NULL then
mask_frame_offset is also 0 so the control flow didn't diverge to a
wrong path. Still, this is horribly wrong and will crash once
StgContinuation struct is refactored and fields are shuffled around.

compiler: fix redundant AP thunk codegen when not using -ticky-ap-thunk

This patch fixes a double negation confusion in !7525 that results in
some redundant AP thunk code generation when not using
-ticky-ap-thunk. Now, we use `stgToCmmUseStdApThunk` to indicate
whether precomputed AP thunks in the RTS should be used, which
defaults to `True`, unless `-ticky-ap-thunk` is passed.
`-finfo-table-map` now also implies `-ticky-ap-thunk`, since when
doing IPE profiling we want the generated AP thunks to be unique.
Fixes #27502.

Strip ticks when desugaring bool guards

The special `considerAccessible` pattern was broken when compiling
with debug info. Compiling with debug info wraps expressions with
`SourceNote` ticks, which broke the internals of the
`desugarBoolGuard` function. Ticks are now ignored within this
function.

base: Display ExceptionContext in WhileHandling's textual description

As originally-implemented the implementation for
`WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` would display the
`ExceptionContext` of the exception which it carries (as this was the
behavior of `displayException`, in terms of which
`displayExceptionAnnotation` was implemented).

However, in 284ffab3 the definition of `SomeException(displayException)`
was changed to exclude the `ExceptionContext`. This means that
`WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` fails to describe the
provenance of the exception which it captures, greatly limiting its
utility.

Return the implementation to its originally-specified behavior by
implementing `WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` in terms of
`displayExceptionWithInfo`.

Fixes #27456.

Coercion optimisation: avoid double-Sym for InstCo

Ticket #27374 pointed out an issue with GHC.Core.Coercion.Opt.optCoercion's
handling of InstCo: it contravened (LC2) in Note [The LiftingContext in optCoercion]
because it applied the ambient 'sym' to a coercion that was then added
to the lifting context substitution.

Coercion optimisation: avoid exponential behaviour

The change to coercion optimisation of 'InstCo' in the previous commit
introduces exponential behaviour to the coercion optimiser. To avoid
this, this commit provides a way to push in 'Sym' of an already-optimised
coercion: GHC.Core.Coercion.Opt.mkDeepSymCo.

See Note [Pushing Sym without re-optimising] in GHC.Core.Coercion.Opt.

Move THREADED_RTS-conditional struct members to end of Capability

Accessing members of the Capability struct from CMM code rely on
accessor macros. (The macros are generated by deriveConstants).

These macros have a single definition. This means that the offsets of
all struct members must *not* vary based on THREADED_RTS vs
!THREADED_RTS. This requires that any struct members that are
conditional on THREADED_RTS must occur after the unconditional struct
members. Hence we move all the ones that are conditional on
THREADED_RTS to the end.

Add a deriveConstants entry for the iomgr member of the Capability
struct, which was the motivation for this change.

Add warning messages to help our future selves. Debugging this took me
a couple hours in gdb!

Make the IOManager API use CapIOManager rather than Capability

This makes the API somewhat more self-contained and more consistent.
Now the IOManager API and each of the backends takes just the I/O
manager structure. Previously we had a bit of a mixture, depending on
whether the function needed access to the Capability or just the
CapIOManager.

We still need access to the cap, so we introduce a back reference to
reach the capability, via iomgr->cap.

Convert all uses in select and poll backends, but not win32 ones.
Convert callers in the scheduler and elsewhere.

Also convert the three CMM primops that call IOManager APIs. They just
need to use Capability_iomgr(MyCapability()).

Rename initIOManager{AfterFork} to {re}startIOManager

These are more accurate names, since these actions happen after

Free per-cap I/O managers during shutdown and forkProcess

Historically this was not strictly necessary. The select and win32
legacy I/O managers did not maintain any dynamically allocated
resources. The new poll one does (an auxillary table), and so this
should be freed.

After forkProcess, all threads get deleted. This includes threads
waiting on I/O or timers. So as of this patch, resetting the I/O
manager is just about tidying things up. For example, for the poll
I/O manager this will reset the size of the AIOP table (which
otherwise grows but never shrinks).

In future however the re-initialising will become neeecessary for
functionality, since some I/O managers will need to re-initialise
wakeup fds that are set CLOEXEC.

Add a TODO to the MIO I/O manager

The direction of travel is to make I/O managers per-capability and have
all their state live in the struct CapIOManager. The MIO I/O manager
however still has a number of global variables.

It's not obvious how handle these globals however.

Remove wakeupIOManager, ioManagerWakeup and setIOManagerWakeupFd

We no longer need wakeupIOManager for the threaded RTS case, so we can
remove it and the bits only needed to support it. This includes the
pipe/eventfd fd shared between the RTS and the in-library I/O manager
used for waking up the I/O manager thread. The pipe/eventfd still
exists, but it no longer has to be communicated to the RTS, since the
RTS no longer needs to use it.

So we remove the RTS API export setIOManagerWakeupFd, and remove uses of
it within the I/O managers in ghc-internal.

Add interruptIOManager support for poll I/O manager

Uses the FdWakup mechanism.

A quirk we have to cope with is that we now need to poll one more fd --
the wakeup_fd_r -- but this fd has no corresponding entry in the
aiop_table. This is awkward since we have set up our aiop_poll_table to
be an auxilliary table with matching indicies.

The solution this patch uses (and described in the comments) is to have
two tables: struct pollfd *aiop_poll_table, *full_poll_table;
and to have the aiop_poll_table alias the tail of the full_poll_table.
The head entry in the full_poll_table is the extra fd. So we poll the
full_poll_table, while the aiop_poll_table still has matching indicies
with the aiop_table.

Hurrah for C aliasing rules.

Ignore ticks in the pattern-match term oracle

The term-oracle in the pattern-match checker is keyed by a canonical
form of the scrutinee, computed by `makeDictsCoherent`. That canonical
form was tick-sensitive: two occurrences of an otherwise identical
expression that happened to carry different ticks were treated as
distinct values, breaking long-distance information.

This shows up in practice under `-finfo-table-map`, because the
desugarer wraps every record-selector use site in a `SourceNote`
carrying that site's span. For example:

     data Box = Box { unBox :: Maybe Int }
     f b = case unBox b of
       Nothing -> 0
       Just _  -> let Just x = unBox b in x

The two `unBox b` expressionss carry different SourceNote spans, the
pattern-match checker sees them as different, the long-distance
information from the outer `Just _` branch never reaches the
let-pattern, and `Just x = unBox b` is wrongly reported as
non-exhaustive.

We now strip all ticks in `makeDictsCoherent`.  This is documented as
Wrinkle (UD1) of Note [Unique dictionaries in the TmOracle CoreMap].

This commit adds explanations for unsolved 'Typeable' constraints.

GHC will now provide additional explanations for an unsolved constraint
of the form 'Typeable ty', explain why GHC did not solve Typeable constraint.
e.g.:
 - 'ty' is a polymorphic type (e.g. forall a. a -> a)
 - 'ty' is a qualified type (e.g. Eq Int => Int)
 - 'ty' is an unboxed sum type
 - 'ty' is an unreduced type family application
 - 'ty' whose kind is not typeable

Minor mistake in asserting something before checking for that same

Resolving many TTG related orphan type-class instances

This is part a technical debt removal effort made possible now
that separating out the AST via TTG has come to a close.

As the AST in 'L.H.S' has been incrementally separated from the GHC internals,
there are many accumulated orphan instance of 'Binary', 'NFData', 'Outputable',
and 'Uniquable'. The orphan instance of data-types from within 'L.H.S' have had
their orphan instances moved to either:
  1. The module which defines the data-type
  2. The module which defines the type-class;
