Use changelog.d for release notes (#26002)
GHC now uses a fragment-based changelog workflow using a custom script adapted from https://codeberg.org/fgaz/changelog-d.
Contributors add a file in changelog.d/ for each user-facing change.
At release time, these are assembled into release notes for sphinx (in RST) format, using
the tool.
New hadrian `changelog` target to generate changelogs
CI job to validate changelog entries for MRs unless skipped with ~"no-changelog" label
Teach sphinx about ghc-mr: extlink to link to MRs
Remove `ghc-package-list` from sphinx, and implement it in changelog-d instead (Fixes #26476).

Introduce TargetInt to represent target's Int (#15973)
GHC was using host 'Int' in several places to represent values that
live in the target machine's 'Int' type. This is silently wrong when
cross-compiling from a 32-bit host to a 64-bit target: the host Int
is 32 bits while the target Int is 64 bits.

Allocate static constructors for bytecode
This commit adds support for static constructors when compiling and
linking ByteCode objects.
Top-level StgRhsCon get lowered to ProtoStaticCons rather than to
ProtoBCOs. A ProtoStaticCon gets allocated directly as a data con
application on the heap (using the new primop newConApp#).
Previously, we would allocate a ProtoBCO which, when evaluated, would
PACK and return the constructor.
A few more details are given in Note [Static constructors in Bytecode].
Secondly, this commit also fixes issue #25636 which was caused by
linking *unlifted* constructors in BCO instructions as
- (1) a thunk indexing the array of BCOs in a module
- (2) which evaluated to a BCO which still had to be evaluated to
return the unlifted constructor proper.
The (2) issue has been resolved by allocating the static constructors
directly. The (1) issue can be resolved by ensuring that we allocate all
unlifted top-level constructors eagerly, and leave the knot-tying for
the lifted BCOs and top-level constructors only.
The top-level unlifted constructors are never mutually recursive, so we
can allocate them all in one go as long as we do it in topological
order. Lifted fields of unlifted constructors can still be filled by the
knot-tied lifted variables since in those fields it is fine to keep
those thunks. See Note [Tying the knot in createBCOs] for more details.
Fixes #25636

test: Validate topoSort logic in createBCOs
This test validates that the topological sorting and ordering of the
unlifted constructors and lifted constructors in `createBCOs` is
correct.
See `Note [Tying the knot in createBCOs]` for why tying the knot for the
created BCOs is slightly difficult and why the topological sorting is
necessary.
This test fails when `let topoSortedObjs = topSortObjs objs` is
substituted by `let topoSortedObjs = zip [0..] objs`, thus witnessing
the toposort logic is correct and necessary.
The test calls the ghci `createBCOs` directly because it is currently
impossible to construct in Source Haskell a situation where a top-level
static unlifted constructor depends on another (we don't have top-level
unlifted constructors except for nullary constructors like `Leaf ::
(UTree :: UnliftedType)`).
This is another test for fix for #25636

Simplify mkTick
This commit simplifies 'GHC.Core.Utils.mkTick', removing the
accumulating parameter 'rest' which was suspiciously treating a bunch of
different ticks as a group, and moving the group as a whole around the
AST, ignoring that the ticks in the group might have different placement
properties.
The most important change is that we revert the logic (added in 85b0aae2)
that allowed ticks to be placed around coercions, which caused serious
issues (e.g. #27121). It was just a mistake, as it doesn't make sense
to put a tick around a coercion.
Also adds Note [Pushing SCCs inwards] which clarifies the logic for
pushing SCCs into lambdas, constructor applications, and dropping SCCs
around non-function variables (in particular the treatment of splittable
ticks).
A few other changes are also implemented:
- simplify 'can_split' predicate (no functional change)
- combine profiling ticks into one when possible

Deal with 'noSpec' in 'coreExprToPmLit'
This commit makes two separate changes relating to
'GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types.coreExprAsPmLit':
1. Commit 7124e4ad mistakenly marked deferred errors as non-canonical,
which led to the introduction of 'nospec' wrappers in the
generated Core. This reverts that accident by declaring deferred
errors as being canonical, avoiding spurious 'nospec' wrapping.
2. Look through magic identity-like Ids such as 'nospec', 'inline' and
'lazy' in 'coreExprAsPmLit', just like Core Prep does.
There might genuinely be incoherent evidence, but that shouldn't
obstruct the pattern match checker. See test T27124a.

Migrate `ghc-pkg` to use `OsPath` and `file-io`
`ghc-pkg` should use UNC paths as much as possible to avoid MAX_PATH
issues on windows.
`file-io` uses UNC Paths by default on windows, ensuring we use the
correct APIs and that we finally are no longer plagued by MAX_PATH
issues in CI and private machines.
On top of it, the higher correctness of `OsPath` is appreciated in this
small codebase. Also, we improve memory usage very slightly, due to the
more efficient memory representation of `OsPath` over `FilePath`
Adds `ghc-pkg` regression test for MAX_PATH on windows
Make sure `ghc-pkg` behaves as expected when long paths (> 255) are
involved on windows.
Let's generate a testcase where we can actually observe that `ghc-pkg`
behaves as epxected.

Ensure TcM plugins are only initialised once
This commit ensures we keep TcM plugins (typechecker plugins,
defaulting plugins and hole fit plugins) running all the way through
desugaring, instead of stopping them at the end of typechecking.
To do this, the "stop" actions of TcPlugin and DefaultingPlugin are
split into two: one for the "post-typecheck" action, and one for the
final shutdown action (after desugaring).
This allows the plugins to be invoked by the pattern match checker
(during desugaring) without having to be repeatedly re-initialised and
stopped, fixing #26839.
In the process, this commit modifies 'initTc' and 'initTcInteractive',
adding an extra argument that describes whether to start/stop the 'TcM'
plugins.

Make HPC work with bytecode interpreter
Add support to generate .tix files from bytecode objects and the
bytecode interpreter.
Conceptually, we insert HPC ticks into the bytecode similar to how we insert
breakpoints.
HPC and breakpoints do not share the same tick array but we use a separate
tick-array for hpc/breakpoint ticks during bytecode generation.
We teach the bytecode interpreter to handle hpc ticks.
The implementation is quite trivial, simply increment the counter in the
global hpc_ticks array for the respective module.
This hpc_ticks array is generated as part of the `CStub`, so we can rely
on it existing.
A tricky bit is "registering" a bytecode object for HPC instrumentation.
In the compiled case, this is achieved via CStub and initializer/finalizers
`.init` sections which are called when the executable is run.
After the initializers have been invoked, which is before `hs_init_ghc`,
we then call `startup_hpc` in `hs_init_ghc` iff any modules were "registered"
for hpc instrumentation via `hs_hpc_module`.
Since bytecode objects are loaded after starting up GHCi, this workflow
doesn't work for supporting `hpc` and the `hpc` run-time is never
started, even if a module is added for instrumentation.
We fix this issue by employing the same technique as is for `SptEntry`s:
* We introduce a new field to `CompiledByteCode`, called `ByteCodeHpcInfo`
which contains enough information to call `hs_hpc_module`, allowing us to
register the module for `hpc` instrumentation`.
* After registering the module, we unconditionally call `startupHpc`, to make
sure the .tix file is written.
Calling `startupHpc` multiple times is safe.
Calling `hs_hpc_module` multiple times for the same module is also safe.
If we didn't register the hpc module in this way, evaluating a bytecode object
instrumented with `-fhpc` without registering it in the `hpc` run-time will
simply not generate any `.tix` files for this bytecode object.
However, this shouldn't happen if everything is set up correctly.
Closes #27036

Make cmm 'import "package" name;' syntax use consistent label types
There is a little-used syntactic form in cmm imports:
import "package" foo;
Which means to import foo from the given package (unit id, specified as
a string). This syntax is somewhat reminiscent of GHC's package import
extension.
This syntax form is not used in the rts cmm code, nor any of the boot
libraries. It may not be used at all. Unclear.
Change the kind of CLabel this syntax generates to be consistent with
the others. The other cmm imports use ForeignLabel with
ForeignLabelInExternalPackage. For some reason this form was using
CmmLabel. Change that to also be ForeignLabel but with
ForeignLabelInPackage. This specifies a specific package, rather
than an unnamed external package.

Change default cmm import statements to be internal
Previously a cmm statement like:
import foo;
meant to expect the symbol from a different shared library than the
current one.
Now it means to expect the symbol from the same shared library as the
current one. We'll add explicit syntax to indicate that it's a foreign
import. Most existing uses are in fact intenal (rts to rts), so few
imports will need to be annotated foreign. Examples would include cmm
code in libraries (other than the rts) that need to access RTS APIs.
In practice, this makes no difference whatsoever at the moment on any
platform other than windows (where building Haskell libs as shared libs
does not fully work yet), since the 'labelDynamic' treats all such
labels as foreign, irrespective of the foreign label source.

Add cmm import syntax 'import DATA foo;' as better name for CLOSURE
The existing syntax is:
import CLOSURE foo;
The new syntax is
import DATA foo;
This means to interpret the symbol foo as refering to data (i.e. a
global constant or variable) rather than to code (a function). The
historical syntax for this uses CLOSURE, which is rather misleading.
Presumably this was done to avoid introducing new reserved words.
Be less squemish about new reserved words and add DATA and use that.
Keep the existing CLOSURE syntax as an alias for compatibility.

Add cmm 'import extern name;' syntax
Since the default for cmm imports is now for symbols within the same
shared object, we need a way to indicate we want a symbol from an
external shared object:
import extern foo; -- for a function
import extern DATA foo; -- for data
This adds a new reserved word 'extern'.
We don't expect to have to use this much. Most cmm imports are
intra-DSO.
This makes no difference currently on ELF and MachO platforms, but does
make a difference to the linking conventions on PE (Windows).
In future it's plausible we could take make distinctions on ELF or
MachO, so it's worth trying to get it right. Windows can be the guinea
pig.

Move code that uses `GHC.Internal.Text.Read` into `base`
This contribution serves to remove all dependencies on
`GHC.Internal.Text.Read` from within `ghc-internal`, so that the
implementation of `Text.Read` and ultimately more reading-related code
can be moved to `base` as well.
The following things are moved from `ghc-internal` to `base`:
* I/O-related `Read` instances
* Most of the `Numeric` implementation
* The instance `Read ByteOrder`
* The `parseVersion` operation
* The `readConstr` operation

New rts Message to {set,unset} TSO flags
This commit introduces stg_MSG_SET_TSO_FLAG_info and
stg_MSG_UNSET_TSO_FLAG_info, which allows setting flags of a TSO other
than yourself.
This is especially useful/necessary to set breakpoints and toggle
breakpoints of different threads, which is needed to safely implement
features like pausing, toggling step-out, toggling step-in per thread,
etc.

test: Add test setting another TSO's flags
Introduces a test that runs on two capabilities. The main thread running
on Capability 0 sets the flags on a TSO running on Capability 1.
The TSO from Capability 1 itself checks whether its flags were set and
reports that back.
This validates that the RTS messages for setting TSO flags work, even if
it doesn't test a harsher scenario with race conditions to exercise why
the message passing is necessary for safely setting another TSO's flags.

In future support for windows dynamic linking, we expect long command
lines for linking dll files with ghc. Experiments with dynamic linking the
ghc-internal library yielded a link command well over 32kb. We did not
encounter this before for static libs, since we already use ar's @file
feature (if available, which it is for the llvm toolchain).

testsuite: fix flaky foundation Divisible / mulIntMayOflo# tests (#27222)
Since the LCG was widened to 64 bits and the seed randomised per CI run
(commit 2d30f7d3400 "Vendor mini-QuickCheck for testsuite"), two latent
bugs in the foundation test surface stochastically:
* The Divisible property `(x `div` y) * y + (x `mod` y) == x` raises
ArithException(Overflow) when (a, b) = (minBound, -1) for fixed-width
signed Integral types. Split testNumber/testDivisible into Bounded and
unbounded variants and skip just that one pair, gated by
`(minBound :: a) < 0` so unsigned types lose no coverage.
* The `mulIntMayOflo#` test compared raw Int# bit-for-bit, but the primop
is only specified to return 0/non-zero -- the exact non-zero indicator
legitimately differs between backends and inlining choices. Add a
dedicated `testPrimopMayOflo` helper that only compares zero / non-zero.
Also fix the long-standing typo "Dividible" -> "Divisible" in identifiers.

Use __attribute__((dllimport)) for external RTS symbol declarations
This is needed to be hygenic about DLL symbol imports and exports.
The attribute is ignored on platforms other than Windows.
Use of the attribute however means that external data symbols do not
have a compile-time constant address (they are loaded using an
indirection). This means we have to adjust the rtsSyms initial linker
table so that it is a local constant in a function, rather than a global
constant. We now define it within a function that pre-populates the
symbol table with the RTS symbols.

iserv: recover/getQ/putQ should behave same as internal interpreter
The internal and external interpreter should behave the same when
handling `recover`, the exeception recovery method of Q.
In practice, they diverge. In case of failure, the internal interpreter
only restores error message state to before the computation, wheras the
external interperter restores error message state *and* the state of putQ/getQ.
As far as I can tell this is a simple mistake in the implementation.
Note [TH recover with -fexternal-interpreter] describes the correct
behaviour but the implementation doesn't mirror this.
This change restores the correct behaviour by keeping the effects of
putQ in the erroring computation.
This is a breaking change since it modifies the behaviour of programs
that rely on recover ignoring putQ from failling computations when used
with the external interpreter. Although I highly doubt anyone relies on
this behaviour.
This divergence was first introduced in d00c308633fe7d216d31a1087e00e63532d87d6d.
As far as I can tell this was unintentional and tha commit was trying to solve a different bug.

rts: Add dynamic trace flags API
This commit adds an API to the RTS (exposed via Rts.h) that allows users to dynamically change the trace flags.
Prior to this commit, users were able to stop and start the profiling and heap profiling timers (via startProfTimer/stopProfTimer and startHeapProfTimer/stopHeapProfTimer).
This extends that functionality to also cover the core event types.
The getTraceFlag/setTraceFlag functions read and write the values of the trace flag cache, which is allocated by Trace.c, rather than modifying the members of RtsFlags.TraceFlags.
This is done under the assumption that the members of RtsFlags should not be modified after RTS initialisation.
Consequently, if the user modifies the trace flags using setTraceFlag, the object returned by getTraceFlags (from base) will not reflect these changes.
The trace flags are not protected by locks of any sort.
Hence, these functions are not thread-safe.
However, the trace flags are not modified by the RTS after initialisation, only read, so the race conditions introduced by one user modifying them are most likely benign.
This PR also puts the trace flag cache in a single global struct, as opposed to a collection of global variables, and changes the types of the individual flags from uint8_t to bool, as these have the same size on both Clang and GCC and are a better semantic match.
Prior to the change to uint8_t, they had type int, see 42c47cd6.
Even with its deprecation in C23, I don't think there should be any issue depending on stdbool.h.
The TRACE_X macros are redefined to access the global struct, with values cast to const bool to ensure they are read-only.

rts: Fix nonmoving-GC tracing
The current nonmoving-GC tracing functions were written in a different
style from the other tracing functions. They were directly implemented
as, e.g., a traceConcMarkEnd function that called postConcMarkEnd.
The other tracing functions are implemented as, e.g., traceThreadLabel_,
a function that posts the thread label event, and traceThreadLabel, a
macro that checks whether TRACE_scheduler is set. This commit fixes that
implementation, and ensures that the nonmoving-GC tracing functions only
emit events if nonmoving-GC tracing is enabled.

Add a rts posix FdWakup utility module
This will be used to implement wakeupIOManager for in-RTS I/O managers.
It provides a notification/wakeup mechanism using FDs, suitable for
situations when a thread is blocked on a set of fds anyway. It uses the
classic self-pipe trick, or equivalently eventfd on supported platforms.
This will initially be used to implement prompt interrupt or shutdown of
the posix ticker thread.

Add prompt shutdown to the pthread ticker implementation.
The Linux timerfd ticker monitors a pipe which is used by exitTicker to
ensure a prompt wakeup and shutdown. The pthread ticker lacked this and
so would only exit at the next ticker wakeup (10ms by default).
This patch adds the same mechanism to the pthread ticker.
This changes the pthread ticker from waiting by using nanosleep() to
waiting using either ppoll() or select(), so that it can wait on both
a time and a file descriptor. On Linux at least, a test program to
compare the timing jitter of these APIs shows that using nanpsleep,
ppoll or select makes no statistical difference to the maximum or
average jitter.
This is a step towards unifying the posix ticker implementations, so
that we can have just one portable one (albeit with some limited cpp).
It is also a step towards using the ticker as part of a more general
implementation of wakeUpRts, since this will require a method to wake
the rts from a signal handler context (ctl-c handler).

Remove the timerfd-based ticker implementation
There does not appear to be any remaining advantage on Linux to using
the timerfd ticker implementation over the portable one (using ppoll on
Linux for precise timing).
The eventfd implementation was originally added at a time when Linux was
still using a signal based implementation. So it made sense at the time.

The dlltool is a tool that can create dll import libraries from .def
files. These .def files list the exported symbols of dlls. Its somewhat
like gnu linker scripts, but more limited.
We will need dlltool to build the rts and ghc-internal libraries as DLLs
on Windows. The rts and ghc-internal libraries have a recursive
dependency on each other. Import libraries can be used to resolve
recursive dependencies between dlls. We will use an import library for

Add rule to build libHSghc-internal.dll.a and link into the rts
On windows only, with dynamic linking.
This is needed because on windows, all symbols in dlls must be resolved.
No dangling symbols allowed. References to external symbols must be
explicit. We resolve this with an import library. We create an import
library for ghc-internal, a .dll.a file. This is a static archive
containing .o files that define the symbols we need, and crucially have
".idata" sections that specifies the symbols the dll imports and from
where.
Note that we do not install this libHSghc-internal.dll.a, and it does
not need to list all the symbols exported by that package. We create a
special purpose import lib and only use it when linking the rts dll, so
it only has to list the symbols that the rts uses from ghc-internal
(which is exactly one symbol: init_ghc_hs_iface).

Introduce a cache of home module name providers
This contribution introduces to the module graph a cache that maps home
module names to sets of units providing them and changes the finder to
use that cache. This is a performance optimization, especially for
multi-home-unit builds.
The particular changes are as follows:
* In `GHC.Unit.Module.Graph`, `ModuleGraph` is extended with a new
field `mg_home_module_name_providers_map`, exposed as
`mgHomeModuleNameProvidersMap`. This is a cache that assigns to each
home module name the set of IDs of home units that define it.
Operations that construct module graphs are updated such that this
cache stays synchronized.
* In `GHC.Unit.Finder`, `findImportedModule` is changed to pull
`mgHomeModuleNameProvidersMap` from `hsc_mod_graph` and pass it to
`findImportedModuleNoHsc`, which now does not search home units in
arbitrary order but prioritizes those units that the cache mentions
as potential providers of the requested module.
In addition, this contribution adds variants of the two multi-component
compiler performance tests that use 100 units instead of 20, because
with just 20 units the benefits from caching of home module name
providers are still negligible.
The following table shows the total time needed for running both
multi-component tests before and after this contribution and with
different numbers of units:
| # of units | Before | After |
|-----------:|-------:|------:|
| 20 | 0:12 | 0:12 |
| 100 | 0:47 | 0:42 |
| 200 | 3:05 | 2:08 |
Note that there seems to be a general overhead of 12 seconds that is not
attributable to the actual tests, so that the real running times should
be 12 seconds smaller than shown above.
Resolves #27055.

AArch64: use ASR not LSR for MO_U_Shr at W8/W16
The unsigned right shift (MO_U_Shr) for sub-word widths (W8, W16)
with a variable shift amount was emitting ASR (arithmetic/signed shift
right) after zero-extending with UXTB/UXTH. This should be LSR
(logical/unsigned shift right). After zero-extension the upper bits
happen to be 0 so ASR produces the same result, but it is semantically
wrong and would break if the zero-extension were ever optimized away.
Includes assembly output test (grep for lsr) and runtime test
verifying unsigned right shift of Word8 and Word16 values.

Hadrian: remove legacy rts .so symlinks
For compatibility with the old makefile based build system, hadrian had
rules to generate symlinks from unversioned to versioned names for the
rts .so/.dynlib file, like libHSrts-ghcx.y.so -> libHSrts-1.0.3-ghcx.y.so
We no longer need these symlinks since the makefile build system has
been retired some time ago. The need for these symlinks is awkward on
windows where we cannot (in practice) create symlinks. So rather than
make them conditional (non-windows), just remove them entirely.

Fix regression T27202: `:load` and `:add` work in GHCi
To fix the regression there are conceptually two major things that we
fix:
* We don't remove the `importDirs` from `interactive-session`
* When `:add`ing a module, we don't try to find them via PackageImports
* The PackageImport is wrong as we can't know the package-name at
this stage in ghc/UI.hs
What does it mean to not remove the `importDirs` from
`interactive-session`?
It means that, given some initial `DynFlags`, we will use those
`importDirs` in `interactive-session`.
The initial `DynFlags`, however, depend on how you initialise the GHC
session.
For a simple session, initialised by
ghc -isrc -this-unit-id main
It is simple, just use the `DynFlags` given on the cli.
Thus, `main` and `interactive-session` will have the same `DynFlags`,
except for the `homeUnitId` and `interactive-session` depends on `main`
by construction of the GHCi session.
What about a multiple home unit session, though?
ghc -unit @unit1 -unit @unit2
What are the `DynFlags` in this cli invocation? It shouldn't be either
`@unti1` nor `@unit2`, as the order shouldn't matter or any other
implicit condition.
For consistency, we decide that the initial `DynFlags` are the top
`DynFlags` on the cli, ignoring `-unit` flags.
Thus, in this example, there are no `importsDirs` regardless of what we
might find in `@unit1` and `@unit2`.
But in this invocation:
ghc -isrc -unit @unit1 -unit @unit2
The `interactive-session` will have the `importsDirs` `src`.
Note, `-isrc` will be inherited in `@unit1` and `@unit2`, so you need to
explicitly use `-i` to clear the `importsDirs`, in order to avoid
accidentally adding `src` as an import directory to all other home
units.
This fix has been made possible by the improvements introduced in
!15888, which avoids ambiguity when a home unit shares the `importsDirs`
with the `interactive-session`, on top of being much faster for multiple
home units.
Adds regression tests for T27202 for `:load`ing and `:add`ing modules
that are located in import directories.

Use home unit package db stacks in GHCi prompt and session unit
In order to import modules from home unit dependencies (e.g., `Data.Map`),
the ghci prompt unit needs to populate its `UnitState`.
This is tricky to handle correctly, which `PackageDBFlag`s should we use
to populate the `UnitState`?
We decide, the most intuitive solution for users is to depend on all
`PackageDBFlag`s, so that any dependency can be imported in GHCi.
This assumes consistency in the `PackageDBFlag`s, so no two home units
specify `PackageDBFlag`s that are inconsistent with each other.
We could simply concat all the `PackageDBFlag`s of the existing home
units, but later `PackageDBFlag`s shadow earlier ones, leading to the
last processed home units' `PackageDBFlag`s to shadow the earlier ones.
This is hard to fix, we need to give users the capability to provide ghc
options for the ghci prompt home unit.
However, as this is considerably more work, we decided on an
approximation that should work out most of the time.
Package Db stacks in cabal and stack follow a certain structure:
-no-user-package-db > -package-db $cabal-store > -package-db $local-db
The first two arguments are always the same, namely the
`-no-user-package-db` and `-package-db`.
We compute the longest common prefix over all home units, and use that
as the start of the package db stack. Then, over the rest of the
`PackageDBFlag`s, we simply take the union and append them to our
initial stack.
We assume, that the rest of package dbs only defines very few, "local"
units that are usually not shadowing each other.
This allows us to get a relatively consistent package database stack for
the ghci prompt home unit.
Similar reasoning applies to the session unit in order to add modules to
the session and have dependencies available in the module.
We do something similar for `-package` flags, to make sure only the
correct units are actually visible in the ghci session.
This time, we simply take the union of all `PackageFlag`s, allowing us
to import modules from the home unit dependencies.
In the future, it would be beneficial to allow the user to provide the
exact ghc options to control the visibilities. For now, this will have
to do.

Major refactor of the Simplifier
The main payload of this patch is to refactor the Simplifer to avoid
repeated simplification when using Plan (AFTER) for rule rewrites.
The need for this was shown up by #26989.
See Note [Avoid repeated simplification] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.
Related refactoring:
* Refactor the two fields `sc_dup` and `sc_env` in `ApplyToVal` into one, `sc_env`.
Reason: the envt is irrelevant in the "simplified" case, so the data type describes
the possiblitiies much more accurately now.
* Some refactoring in `knownCon` to split off `wrapDataConFloats`.
* Refactor `lookupRule` and its auxiliary functions to return `RuleMatch`,
a new data type. See Note [data RuleMatch] in GHC.Core. Ditto for BuiltinRule.
This RuleMatch returns fragments of the target in rm_args and rm_floats,
leaving `rm_rhs` to be the stuff from the RULE itself.
Doing this has routine consequences in GHC.Core.Opt.ConstantFold. Many changes
there but all routine.
* When doing occurrence analysis on RULEs, make the occ-info on the rule
binders relate just to the RHS, not the LHS. See (OUR1) in
Note Note [OccInfo in unfoldings and rules]
This means that Lint must not complain about the fact that the patterns
in the RULE mentions binders that are marked dead.
See Note [Dead occurrences] in GHC.Core.Lint.
I changed the Core pretty-printer so that it didn't suppress dead binders,
else I can't see those binders in RULEs. That led to quite a lot of testsuite wibbles.
* Refactor FloatBinds, so that it is used both by
`exprIsConApp_mabye` and by `lookupRule`
* Move the definition of FloatBinds out of GHc.Core.Make, into GHC.Core.
* Add FloatTick as an extra constructor.
* Refactor `lookupRule` to use `FloatBinds` instead of `BindWrapper`.
This refactor just shares more code.
(Rename GHC.Core.Opt.FloatOut.FloatBinds to FloatLets, to avoid gratuitious
name clash with GHC.Core.FloatBinds.)
Corecion optimisation
* In simpleOpt, when composing coercions, call new function `optTransCo`.
This is much lighter weight than full blown coercion optimisation.
* Make `GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.pushCoValArg` and `pushCoTyArg` return the
coercionLKind of the coercion. This saves recomputing that coercionLKind
at the key call sites in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.pushCast.
* Rename `addCoerce` in GHC.Core.Simplify.Iteration to become `pushCast`.
* In the `ApplyToVal` case of `pushCast` we had a very unsavoury call to `simplArg`.
I eliminated it by adding a field `sc_cast` to `ApplyToVal` that records any
pending casts. Much nicer now. See Note [The sc_cast field of ApplyToVal].
* Don't optimise coercions if the type-substitution is empty.
See Note [Optimising coercions] in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.
The fix for #26838 is dramatic. For the test in perf/compiler/T26839 we have

Update to semaphore-compat 2.0.0 using v2 of the protocol
On Linux and other POSIX platforms, GHC's -jsem jobserver client now
speaks v2 of the semaphore-compat protocol, which uses Unix domain
sockets in place of POSIX named semaphores. This avoids the libc-ABI
issues that affected the old implementation. Windows is unaffected
and continues to use the v1 protocol (Win32 named semaphores); its
reported protocol version remains v1.
When GHC receives a -jsem name whose protocol version it does not
support, it emits a -Wsemaphore-version-mismatch warning and falls
back to -j<N> rather than crashing. ghc --info exposes the supported
version in a new "Semaphore version" entry so cabal-install can detect
a mismatch before invoking GHC.
Users on a cabal-install that predates the v2 update will continue to
build successfully on Linux/POSIX, but will lose the cross-process
-jsem coordination and fall back to -j<N> per GHC invocation. Users
must upgrade to a cabal-install that supports protocol v2 to recover
full parallelism.
Also fix a leak in cleanupSem (#27253): cleanupSem used to snapshot
heldTokens and release them before killing the loop, while the loop's
in-flight acquire/release children could still be mutating it.
Cleanup now runs inside the loop's own exit handler, after draining
the active child via a new activeChild TVar, so the snapshot has no
concurrent mutator.

Revert prog003 acceptance
We thought the commit 286f1adff3e78d775ff325caff71d0cee25d710b fixed the
test, but due to changes to ghci, modules loaded during the GHCi
session, the test was actually no longer testing what it set out to do,
"fixing" the broken test.
As modules are added to the `interactive-session` home unit, the object code needs
to be compiled with `-this-unit-id interactive-session`, otherwise the
object code won't be used.
Once this has been fixed in the test, the test fails as expected again.

Add optional config setting for LibDir (#19174)
Previously, the `libDir` was derived from `topDir`. This won't work for
inplace stage2 cross-compilers where binaries and libraries are in
different stage dirs (`_build/stage1/` for executables and
`_build/stage2` for libraries).
`LibDir` is set in the inplace `settings` files. For bindists, we
generate a new `settings` file with no `LibDir` entry. GHC then defaults
to use `topDir` as `libDir` again. This keeps the bindist relocatable.
If `LibDir` is a relative path, it is interpreted relatively to
`topDir`.
The global package db is part of the `lib/` folder. If we want to point
for inplace cross-compilers to the succeeding stage's folder, this is
done by setting `LibDir`. Thus, the global package db must be found
relative to `libDir`` (which may default to `topDir` or be set by
`LibDir`).
The complexity of settings becomes scary. So, add a test to ensure
`LibDir` works as expected.

hadrian: Refactor system-cxx-std-lib rules
I noticed a few things wrong with the hadrian rules for
`system-cxx-std-lib` rules.
* For `text` there is an ad-hoc check to depend on `system-cxx-std-lib`
outside of `configurePackage`.
* The `system-cxx-std-lib` dependency is not read from cabal files.
* Recache is not called on the packge database after the `.conf` file is
generated, a more natural place for this rule is `registerRules`.
Treating this uniformly like other packages is complicated by it not
having any source code or a cabal file. However we can do a bit better
by reporting the dependency firstly in `PackageData` and then needing
the `.conf` file in the same place as every other package in
`configurePackage`.
This commit increases the `shakeVersion`, to provide backwards
compatibility to previous builds with different PackageData.

Avoid mkTick in Core Prep breaking ANF
As discovered in #27182, mkTick can break ANF. This patch introduces a
variant of mkTick that skips the single optimisation that could break
ANF. This is preferrable over switching to the raw Tick constructor,
as the latter may introduce spurious cost centres in profiling reports.
This is a temporary measure until we more thoroughly refactor how
mkTick works (see #27141).
See Note [mkTick breaks ANF] in GHC.CoreToStg.Prep.

config.only is assumed to be a set, but supplying --only overwrote it

testsuite: detect fast bignum via ghc-internal, not removed ghc-bignum
The ghc-bignum package was merged into ghc-internal, so the BIGNUM_GMP
probe in test.mk ran `ghc-pkg field ghc-bignum exposed-modules`, which
fails with "cannot find package ghc-bignum". That error went to stderr
and leaked into the captured stderr of every makefile_test, causing
spurious [bad stderr] failures across the suite. The probe also silently
returned empty, so config.have_fast_bignum was wrongly False even on GMP
builds.
Probe ghc-internal's extra-libraries for the gmp library instead: the
GMP backend module is an other-module (not exposed), but GMP_LIBS adds
gmp to extra-libraries only on a GMP build, so this distinguishes the
backends. Redirect stderr to keep any future missing-package error off
the harness's stderr.
This also removes a stale comment as per suggestion from hsyl20.

Hadrian: avoid response files when command line is short enough
This replaces the logic of always using response files on Windows.
With the new condition based on command line lenght, reponse files
can be avoided in many more cases (on windows).
Now that response files are only used in a small number of cases,
response files are always kept and the -r / --keep-response-files
command line options have been removed
The response file paths are nolonger randomized. They are placed in the
`_build/rsp` directory. This ensures they are ignored by git and we
that Hadrian reuses response file paths when rebuilding rather than
leaving stale response files around.

Don't drop ticks around variables of type `IO ()`
GHC.Core.Utils.mkTick is responsible for placing a tick on a Core
expression. It contains logic for dropping SCCs (non-counting profiling
ticks) around non-function variables, as such variables cannot
meaningfully contribute to profiles. However, the logic for what counts
as a function was incorrect: it used `isFunTy` which returns 'False' for
types such as 'IO ()' where the function arrow is hidden under a
newtype.
We now use 'mightBeFunTy' instead of 'isFunTy'. This ensures we don't
drop ticks in cases we aren't sure.
On the way, we improve the documentation of 'isFunTy', 'isPiTy' and
'mightBeFunTy', and update the latter's implementation to consistently
handle unary classes.

Define ACQUIRE_LOCK_ALWAYS and friends
Fix issue #27335
Like the atomic _ALWAYS variants, these lock actions are always defined,
rather than being dependent on whether we are in the THREADED case. All
the "normal" LOCK macros are defined to be no-ops when !THREADED.
The use case for the _ALWAYS variants is where we are using OS threads
even in the non-threaded RTS. This includes everything to do with the
timer/ticker thread, which is used in the non-threaded RTS too.
In particular, we will want to use this for eventlog things, because the
timer thread performs eventlogging concurrently with the main
capability, even in the non-threaded RTS.

Remove redundant use of stopTimer in setNumCapabilities
Historically, the comment here was:
We must stop the interval timer while we are changing the
capabilities array lest handle_tick may try to context switch
an old capability. See #17289.
and
We must disable the timer while we do this since the tick handler may
call contextSwitchAllCapabilities, which may see the capabilities array
as we free it.
What this refers to is that historically, when changing the number of
capabilities, the array of capabilities was reallocated to a new size,
allocating new ones and freeing the old ones, thus invalidating all
existing capbility pointers.
Strangely, for good measure the code used to call stopTimer twice (hence
the two similar comments above).
However, since commit a3eccf06292dd666b24606251a52da2b466a9612, the
capabilities array is no longer reallocated. Instead the array is
allcoated once on RTS startup to the maximum size it could ever be
allowed to be, and then capabilities get enabled/disabled at runtime. So
the capability pointers never become invalid anymore. At worst, they may
point to capabilities that are disabled.
Thus we no longer need to stop the timer (twice) while we change the
number of enabled capabilities. This also partially solves issue #27105,
which notes that stopTimer is being used as if it were synchronous, when
it is not. At least for this case, the solution is that stopTimer is not
needed at all!

Remove redundant use of stopTimer in forkProcess
but replace it with taking the eventlog buffer lock during the fork.
Fixes issue #27105
The original reason to block the timer during a fork was that
historically the timer was implemented using a periodic timer signal,
and the signal itself would interrupt the fork system call (returning
EINTR). For large processes (where fork() takes a while) this could
permanently livelock: the timer always would go off before the fork
could complete, which got retried in a loop forever.
The timer is no longer implemented as a unix signal, but uses threads.
Thus the original problem no longer exists. The only remaining reason to
block the timer tick is to prevent actions taken by the tick from
interfering with the delicate process involved in fork (taking a load of
locks and pausing everything).
The only thing we need to do is to prevent the eventlog from being
written to or flushed while the fork is taking place. To achieve this
all we need to do is hold the mutex for the global eventlog buffer.
This removes the last use of stopTimer that expects stopTimer to work
synchronously (which it was not) and thus solves issue #27105. To be
clear, we solve issue #27105 not by making stopTimer synchronous, but by
eliminating the use sites that expected it to be synchronous.

Add type family performance test for #26426
Some GHC versions produced large numbers of coercions after typechecking
and desugaring when compiling the program in #26426:
Version | Typechecker time | Typechecker allocations | Coercions
-------:|-----------------:|------------------------:|---------:
9.6 | 47 ms | 48 MB | 110k
9.8 | 1000 ms | 486 MB | 10,437k
9.10 | 922 ms | 489 MB | 10,436k
9.12 | 906 ms | 482 MB | 10,437k
9.14 | 63 ms | 55 MB | 333k
10.0 | 47 ms | 64 MB | 35k
The improvement 9.12 -> 9.14 was due to commit 22d11fa818fae2c95c494fc0fac1f8cb4c6e7cb6,
while the improvement 9.14 -> 10.0 was due to commit 0b7df6db9e46df40e86fbff1a66dc10440b99db5.
As the behaviour of GHC seems better than it's ever been on this program,
we declare victory, adding this performance test to ensure we don't
regress on this program.
On the way, we update Note [Combining equalities] in GHC.Tc.SolveR.Equality
with the explanation of the 9.12 -> 9.14 improvement (getting rid of an
exponential blowup in coercion sizes), and we update
Note [Exploiting closed type families] in GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps with
the explanation of the 9.14 -> 10.0 improvement (bringing down coercion
size growth from cubic to quadratic).

Find plugins in sibling home units in multiple-home-unit sessions
In a multiple-home-unit session (e.g. `cabal repl --enable-multi-repl` or HLS), enabling a plugin with -fplugin that is defined in (or reexported by) another home unit failed with a "hidden package" error. The plugin module finder only searched the current home unit and the registered external packages, never the sibling home units.
findPluginModuleNoHsc now searches the home units that the current home unit depends on, following module reexports and respecting hidden modules, exactly as ordinary import resolution does in findImportedModuleNoHsc. To avoid two divergent copies of this logic, the shared home-unit search (the current home unit first, then its dependencies in priority order, with the accompanying ordering invariant) is extracted into findHomeModuleAmongDeps, which both findImportedModuleNoHsc and findPluginModuleNoHsc now call.
Add testsuite/tests/driver/multipleHomeUnits/plugin01, which loads a plugin as byte-code from a sibling home unit, and plugin02, in which the consumer enables a plugin reexported by a sibling home unit without depending on the plugin's own home unit directly.

AArch64: use SXTH, not SXTW, for W32 signExtendReg
signExtendReg was using SXTH (sign-extend halfword, 16-bit) for
W32-to-W64 sign extension. This should be SXTW (sign-extend word,
32-bit). SXTH only sign-extends the lower 16 bits, producing wrong
results for 32-bit values whose bit 15 differs from bit 31.
Other fixes:
- At sub-W64, code gen for MO_S_Mul2 should use W32 registers for
SMULL source operands as per the ARM spec (SMULL Xd, Wn, Wm),
and not W64.
- Ensure signExtendReg uses the source width for the source operand
in SXTW/SXTH/SXTB instructions. GNU as requires sxtw Xd,Wn (not
sxtw Xd,Xn), while LLVM's integrated assembler on macOS is lenient.
- Fix overflow flag computation for `MO_S_Mul2`. The overflow bit
was exactly inverted for sub-W64 operands.

for function closures. We really shouldn't assign TagTuple to a
properly tagged function returning a tuple.
We fix this by keeping track of functions (TagFun) separately from
values (TagVal) and keeping track of their return value. TagFun is
also used for join points.

Seed the simplifier's in-scope set for open expressions
simplifyExpr simplifies expressions typed at the GHCi prompt and the
results of Template Haskell splices. Such an expression may be open: at a
GHCi debugger breakpoint its free variables include RuntimeUnk skolems
standing for as-yet-unknown types.
The simplifier began with an in-scope set holding only the wildcard
binder, so when it instantiated the unsafeCoerce# wrapper that GHCi
builds around a result, it formed a substitution whose range mentioned a
free skolem that was not in scope. That breaks the substitution invariant
and, in a compiler built with assertions, trips substTy's sanity check.
Seed the initial in-scope set with the free variables of the expression.
For a closed expression this adds nothing.
See Note [Seed the in-scope set for open expressions].
Fixes #17833 and its duplicate #21118.

Desugar a `case` scrutinee only once (#27383, #20251)
In `dsExpr` for `HsCase` we desugared the scrutinee /twice/: once to
build the Core `case` itself, and again inside `matchWrapper`, which
re-desugared the source scrutinee (via `addHsScrutTmCs`) purely to
record long-distance information for the pattern-match checker.
For a single `case` that is merely wasteful. But for nested cases it
is catastrophic. Consider
case (case (case e of ... ) of ... ) of ...
Desugaring the outer scrutinee desugars the middle `case` twice, each
of which desugars the inner `case` twice, and so on. The work doubles
at every level, so desugaring takes O(2^n) time in the nesting depth.
That is the blowup reported in #27383; it is also what makes the
machine-generated program in #20251 take an age to compile.
The fix is simple. `matchWrapper` is handed the scrutinee anyway, so
we give it the Core expression we have /already/ desugared, and record
the long-distance term constraint with `addCoreScrutTmCs` instead of
re-desugaring from source. This is just what `matchSinglePatVar`
already does for single-pattern matches.
So:
* `matchWrapper` now takes `Maybe [CoreExpr]` rather than
`Maybe [LHsExpr GhcTc]`.
* The `HsCase` equation of `dsExpr` passes the already-desugared
`core_discrim`; the arrow desugarer passes its match variables.
* `addHsScrutTmCs` had no other use, so it is gone.
Desugaring is now linear in the nesting depth. (The coverage checker
still runs `simpleOptExpr` over each scrutinee, which leaves the total
at O(n^2); that is ample.) The long-distance information itself is
unchanged: the checker sees precisely the Core that backs the
generated code.

fix: Save FastStrings in the PMC
There is no point in adding the unique to the occurrence FastString we
create, since it is part of the Id anyway.
Adding it to the FastString, meant each FastString was unique
unnecessarily!
In a separate branch, running the compiler on test `InstanceMatching`
observed 30000 `FastString`s created by this code path.
Plus, `fsLit "pm"` follows the existing pattern in `mkPmId`.

hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers
* Most of hadrian is abstracted over the stage in order to remove the
assumption that the target of all stages is the same platform. This
allows the RTS to be built for two different targets for example.
* Abstracts the bindist creation logic to allow building either normal
or cross bindists. Normal bindists use stage 1 libraries and a stage 2
compiler. Cross bindists use stage 2 libararies and a stage 2
compiler.
* hadrian: Make binary-dist-dir the default build target. This allows us
to have the logic in one place about which libraries/stages to build
with cross compilers. Fixes #24192
New hadrian target:
* `binary-dist-dir-cross`: Build a cross compiler bindist (compiler =
stage 1, libraries = stage 2)
This commit also contains various changes to make stage2 compilers
feasible.

Add -dstable-core-dump-order for stable Core dump ordering (#27296)
The order of top-level bindings in Core dumps (-ddump-simpl etc.) is the
compiler's Unique-sensitive internal processing order, so an unrelated
upstream change can reorder them and defeat a textual diff of two dumps.
This adds an opt-in flag -dstable-core-dump-order that reorders the
top-level bindings of dumps routed through dumpPassResult into a stable,
Unique-independent order, so two dumps line up across rebuilds. See
Note [Stable Core dump order] in GHC.Core.Ppr for the sort key and its
rationale.
Adds tests T27296 (binders GHC emits in non-source order by default,
asserted to come out stably ordered under the flag) and T27296b (an
untidied -ddump-float-out dump pinning the ordering of the anonymous lvl
floats by literal value).

Add explicit setBit/clearBit/complementBit for instance Bits Integer (#21176)
The default setBit, clearBit, and complementBit methods allocate
intermediate Integers per call. Define them explicitly via the new
integerSetBit[#], integerClearBit[#] and integerComplementBit[#], built
on the BigNat# primitives, which avoid those allocations. Allocation is not
eliminated entirely -- the negative (IN) cases would need in-place mutation,
which is left as future work.
The default methods constant-folded on literal arguments via the
integerOr/integerAnd/integerXor rules, which fold literal Integers of any
size. The explicit functions have no such rule, so they (their Word-argument
wrappers, and the Bits Integer methods) are marked INLINE to expose the
underlying primops to the simplifier; see Note [INLINE for constant folding
of bit operations]. This restores folding only on the small-int (IS) path --
large literal Integers (IP/IN) are no longer constant-folded, a minor
regression for that case. T8832 covers the IS-path folding.
The new golden-output test T21176 checks all three operations against the
default implementations across the sign/size boundaries, recording each
result plus its integerCheck validity. The base and ghc-bignum interface-
stability export goldens gain the new functions.
The main changelog entry lives in changelog.d under a new ghc-internal
section (renamed from ghc-prim).

haddock: use Text in documentation pipeline
This patch moves Haddock's documentation pipeline from String to Text
where the data is already textual. It avoids repeated conversions while
keeping the existing decoding behavior for invalid UTF-8 docstring
chunks.
The main changes are:
* Render and carry docstrings as Text in Haddock-facing paths.
* Use the Binary Text instance from GHC.Utils.Binary for Haddock
interface files, and bump the Haddock binary interface version.
* Add a FastString HTML instance so XHTML rendering avoids
intermediate String allocation.
* Keep HsDocStringChunk decoding lenient, matching the previous
unpackHDSC behavior on invalid UTF-8 input.
* Update the xhtml submodule to 3000.4.1.0, which contains the
apostrophe escaping fix used by the Haddock test output.

compiler: rename ZonkAny to UnusedType and add pretty printing logic
ZonkAny is a hard to understand name for users who do not know how the
compiler works internally. Additionally, it is confusing that ZonkAny,
while being a concrete type *represents* a meta variable, espeically in
the compiler output.
This patch changes the name of ZonkAny to UnusedType which is closer to
its intended semantics and adds special pretty printing logic to display
this type in the same fashion the compiler displays meta variables in
other places, whenever they leak from the implementation to the user.
It also exports the type from ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Types in order
to expose documentation.

perf: Share Module in Iface Symbol Table
This commit modifies the structure of the serialized `SymbolTable Name`
to then re-use and share the `Module` (both on disk and in memory) across
all `Name`s from the same module.
The new structure looks like:
<total name count>
$modules.size
for (mod, names) in $modules:
$mod
$names.size
for table_ix, occ in $names
$table_ix
$occ
i.e. we put the module just once, followed by all names in that module.
When deserializing, we deserialize the module just once, and all the
following `Name`s are constructed with a pointer to that same decoded
`Module`.
In `hoogle-test`, we must use `DNameEnv` rather than `Map Name`,
otherwise the output fixities order was susceptible to changes in the
uniques assigned to each Names, which is not stable.

Tweak mk_mod_usage_info
* Use O(log n) `elemModuleEnv` instead of O(n) `elem` to filter the
direct imports.
* Use `nonDetModuleEnvKeys` to avoid sorting the ent_map keys twice.
* Prepend the presumably shorter list when creating all_mods with
`(++)`. Actually this eliminates the `(++)` entirely, as it seems to
fuse with the `filter` expression.
As a result there is a tiny speed-up when generating the .hi-files for
modules with many imports.
None of the changes affect compilation determinism as the module list
is explicitly sorted to ensure a canonical order.

This one removes SrcSpanAnnC used for storing exact print annotations

So, replace

type HsContext pass = HsContextDetails pass (LHsType pass)
data HsContextDetails pass arg
= HsContext
{ hsc_ext :: !(XHsContext pass)

We need the parameterised HsContextDetails because it is used both for
HsQual carrying 'LHsExpr p' and "normal" contexts carrying 'LHsType p'.

Make Q abstract
This patch aims to clearly demarcate the internal and external interfaces
of Q.
In the past the `Quasi` typeclass was both part of the external,
public-facing interface, and was used to give the implementation of `Q`.
Now we separate out these two distinct roles. `Quasi` continues to exist
in the public interface, but we introduce a new `MetaHandlers` type,
which is equivalent to `Dict Quasi`.
`Q a` is now defined to be `MetaHandlers -> IO a`, and, crucially,
the constructor and the new `MetaHandlers` type are not exposed from the
public interface.
This gives us the ability to vary the interface on the GHC side without
forcing a breaking change on the `template-haskell` side.
Similarly `template-haskell` has more freedom to change the `Quasi`
typeclass without needing any changes in `lib:ghc`.

hadrian/rts: fix unregisterised build for gcc 15+
This patch fixes unregisterised build for gcc 15+:
- Pass -optc-Wno-error in hadrian when +werror enables -optc-Werror,
see added comment for details.
- For RTS functions that the codegen would emit calls, ensure their
real prototype is hidden when the header is included in .hc fies
(IN_STG_CODE), and the dummy prototype is provided to match the EFF_
convention.
In the future we should get rid of EFF_ (#14647) and remove these
hacks, but for now this patch makes unregisterised work again on newer
toolchains. Fixes #27404.

compiler: fix missing handling of CmmUnsafeForeignCall node in LayoutStack
This patch fixes missing handling of `CmmUnsafeForeignCall` middle
node in the `LayoutStack` pass.
Before proc-points splitting, this pass computes liveliness of local
registers, and spills those alive across a Cmm native call onto the
stack. It need to traverse all middle nodes in each block and check
whether a local register is an assignee, if so then the previous
mapping in `sm_regs` is invalidated and needs to be dropped. However,
it didn't handle `CmmUnsafeForeignCall` node which may also assign to
a local register. When proc-points splitting is enabled, this can
produce an invalid basic block that doesn't properly backup the
updated local register to the stack before doing a Cmm call, resulting
in completely invalid runtime behavior.
The patch also adds a `T27447` regression test. With no-TNTC or with
LLVM backend, without the fix the test case would output a stale
0x1111111111111111 value, instead of the expected 0x2222222222222222
output.
Fixes #27447.

Make exported stop/startTimer no-ops, and rename internal functions
Specifically, internally rename:
stop/startTimer to pause/unpauseTimer
stop/startTicker to pause/unpauseTicker
and keep stop/startTimer as exported functions, but now as no-ops.
In the past the stop/startTicker actions were used incorrectly as if
they were synchronous, which they are not. See issue #27105. We now
document pause/unpackTicker as being async and not to be used for the
purpose of concurrency safety.
The existing stop/startTimer (note Timer not Ticker, the Timer calls the
Ticker!) are also exported from the RTS as a public API. This was
historically because the ticker used signals and it was important to
suspend the timer signel over a process fork. So these functions were
exported to be used by the process and unix libraries.
We cannot just remove the RTS exports, but we now make them no-ops, and
they can be removed from the process and unix library later. This
was already documented in a changelog.d entry no-more-timer-signal but
due to changes during the MR process the change to make stop/startTicker
into no-ops didn't make it into the earlier MR.

posix ticker: improve the implementation
The existing implementation supported pausing and exiting, with the
implementation of pausing reling on a mutex and condition variable.
It needed to check the pause and stop shared variables on every
iteration. It relies on ppoll or select, to wait on the timeout and also
wait on an interrupt fd. The interrupt fd was only used for prompt
exit/shutdown, and not for pausing or other notification. The pause only
needed a lock and a memory operation, but the pause was not prompt. The
resume used a lock, and signaling a cond var.
The new implementation uses a somewhat more regular design: every
notification is done by setting a shared variable and
interrupting/notifying the ticker via the fd. The ticker thread does not
need to check any shared variables on normal timer expiry, only when it
recevies notification. This may be a micro-optimisation, but the tick
occurs 100 times a second by default so any improvements in the hot path
are amplified. When the ticker thread does receive notification it can
check the various shared variables and update its local state. The
blocking relies on using ppoll/select but without a timeout. This avoids
the condition var and also allows further notifications when paused
(also used for unpausing).
This design can be extended with further notification types if needed by
using and checking further shared vars (or making existing shared vars
an enum or counter). This may be used in future for additional
notifications to the ticker thread. This will likely be used to proxy
wakeUpRts from a single handler context for example. And this approach,
avoiding mutexes, is compatible with use from signal handlers.
So overall, it's:
* slightly simpler / more regular;
* easier to extend with additional notifications;
* probably slightly more efficient (but a micro-optimisation);
* and supports calling notification from signal handlers

ticker: remove now-unnecessary layer of enable/disable
There was an atomic variable used to block *part* of the actions of the
tick handler. This still did not make stopTimer synchronous, even for
the part of the the handle_tick actions it covered. It also added a more
expensive (sequentuially consistent) atomic operation in the hot path
for the handle_tick action, whereas our new design requires no atomic
ops at all.
Now that we have eliminate the need for synchronous stop/startTicker,
we don't need this not-quite-working-anyway atomic protocol. The new
pause/unpauseTicker is explicitly asynchronous and idempotent.

Adjust releaseCapability_ precondition to allow cap->running_task == NULL
There are two use cases for releaseCapability_:
1. The current Task (cap->running_task) releases the Capability.
The Capability is marked free, and if there is any work to do,
an appropriate Task is woken up.
2. There is no current task (cap->task == NULL), and thus the
Capability is idle, and we want to wake up an idle Task to animate
the Capability. This case uses always_wakeup.
Currently, the precondition for releaseCapability_ is
cap->running_task != NULL
and so the 2nd use cases have to set cap->running_task (which is then
immediately overwritten) just to satisfy the precondition. See the
use cases in sendMessage and prodCapability.
So we can relax the precondition to be:
cap->running_task != NULL || always_wakeup
so that in the always_wakeup case, we say it is ok for the
cap->running_task to be NULL.
This lets us simplify sendMessage and prodCapability. In particular it
will allow prodCapability to not need a Task parameter.
The ulterior motive for all this is that I want to be able to call
prodCapability from an OS thread that is not itself a Task, in persuit
of issue #27086: disentangle I/O managers from wakeUpRts. The most
straightforward way to wake the RTS is using prodCapability, but the
context in which we will need to do that are threads that are not Tasks.

Add a wakeUpRtsViaTicker feature to the posix ticker

-

by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-01T22:29:56+01:00
Change how wakeUpRts works
Previously it would call wakeupIOManager to get a capability to wake up
and run. This works but it entangles the I/O managers with unrelated
features: ctl-c handling and idle gc (the two features that use wakeUpRts).
The reason it used wakeupIOManager is that this action is safe to use
from a posix signal handler, since it just posts bytes to a pipe.
Otherwise the more direct approach (used e.g. by sendMessage when the
target capability is idle) is to use releaseCapability. But that uses
condition variables and mutexes, which are not safe to use from within a
signal handler.
So instead of entangling the (multiple) I/O managers with this, we make
wakeUpRts use the direct approach (using prodOneCapability). On win32
the ctl-c console handler can call wakeUpRts directly, since it is
called in a proper thread. On posix, to deal with the signal handler
problem, we make the signal handler ask the ticker thread to proxy the
call to wakeUpRts, since the ticker thread is also a proper thread.
This will allow the I/O managers to no longer be concerned with this.
This is good because there are many I/O managers (and they're
complicated), but there is (on posix) only one ticker implementation. So
this is an overall reduction in coupling and complexity.

Test driver: normalise line numbers into libraries
When comparing the stdout of tests that print out callstacks, we can't
rely on the stability of exact line:column spans pointing into libraries
(e.g. ghc-internal), as any change (such as adding a comment) can change
them.
This commit addresses this by normalising away line:column in callstacks,
but only when those point into internal libraries. We don't do this in
general, as the exact span might be important to the test (e.g. for a
span within the test module itself).

* Updated 'HsDocString to be TTG-parameterised as 'HsDocString pass'.
* Added 'GHC.Hs.Extension.Pass': splits 'GhcPass'/'Pass' and all 'HsDocString'
TTG instances out of 'GHC.Hs.Extension', which re-exports it unchanged
(this is backwards compatible and prevents the introduction of a boot file).
* Deleted 'GHC.Hs.Doc.hs-boot'; removed all 'L.H.S.*' imports of 'GHC.Hs.Doc'.
* Updated 'GHC.Hs.DocString' to be TTG pass-parameterised throughout; moved
'mkHsDocStringChunk'/'unpackHDSC' here (require 'GHC.Utils.Encoding').
* Split 'GHC.Rename.Doc.rnHsDoc' from 'rnHsDocIdentifiersOnly'.
* Updated parser, renamer, typechecker, HIE, and exact-print for new types.
* Added 'HsDocString' TTG instances for 'DocNameI' to 'Haddock.Types'.
* Killed the last module loop between GHC.* and LHS.*.

ttg: Using ShortText over FastString in the AST
To make the AST independent of GHC, this commit replaces usages of
`FastString` with `HText` in the AST, killing the last edge from
Language.Haskell.* to GHC.* modules.
Even though we /do/ want to use FastStrings in general -- critically in
Names or Ids -- there is no particular reason for the FastStrings that
occur in the AST proper to be FastStrings. Strings in the AST are
typically unique and don't benefit particularly from being interned
FastStrings with Uniques for fast comparison.
`HText` is a type synonym for `ShortText` which uses GHC's Modified
UTF-8 encoding exclusively.
Modified UTF-8 must be used to represent the Haskell AST because the
Haskell Report allows surrogate code points. `Data.Text.Text` functions
use Standard UTF-8 which replace surrogates with a placeholder value,
thus `Data.Text.Text` is unsuitable for AST strings. See the
`Language.Haskell.Syntax.Text` module header for more details.

hadrian: binary-dist-dir should not be the default target
Revert behaviour to pre 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2
In 23c9b6c392f52ec9d7a8618b204ff6b885f5fba2, we applied the following behaviour change:
```
hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers
...
* hadrian: Make binary-dist-dir the default build target. This allows us
to have the logic in one place about which libraries/stages to build
with cross compilers. Fixes #24192
```
This is a major regression to development experience, a plain hadrian/build
--freeze1 now takes ages because we rebuild all docs (which need to go in the
binary dist dir).
`binary-dist-dir` is the wrong default target for regular GHC development work

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`.

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.

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`.

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()).

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.

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.

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].

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;
i.e. moving an orphan 'Binary' instance to 'GHC.Utils.Binary'

ci: Reduce lint job setup costs
Avoid fetching unnecessary history and submodules for lightweight lint
jobs. Run changelog validation without Hadrian.
Because the lint-author job is now based on the .lint template directly,
we enhance it to allow Git to read from the runner-owned checkouts,
In the previously used .lint-params template, this permissions issue was
addressed via `chown`.
Closes #27521.

Eliminate STM_AWOKEN
It was used as nullary closure for the block_info.closure in the case of
a thread being awoken after an STM transaction.
However, while it was written, it was never read, so contributed nothing
to the behaviour. Furthermore, in the only place it was set (in
tryWakeupThread) the why_blocked was immediately overwritten by the
NotBlocked status, and the block_info was updated accordingly (by
appendToRunQueue).
So it didn't even serve a purpose of clarifying an intermediate state,
there really was no such intermediate state.
Cleaning this up will allow the BlockedOnSTM case to follow the same
pattern as the other why_blocked cases that do not use the block_info,
and in turn this reduces the number of different categories.

Add a proper mapping to eventlog external thread stop status
That is the mapping from rts-internal codes, to the coes used in the
status field in the eventlog EVENT_STOP_THREAD event.
See issue #9003 for what goes wrong when we mess this up. In that
ticket, people note that we should really not require the internal
tso->why_blocked codes to leak into the external eventlog thread stop
codes. The same principle applies to the StgThreadReturnCode.
This change properly separates them, and explicitly maps between them
using a pair of (compact, constant) tables. These tables are pretty
small (with no alignment constraints) and will soon shrink so it seems
a sensible tradeoff.
We also introduce and use proper EVENT_STOP_THREAD constants in the
event log format header. Previously there was not specification in the
code for these (only in the docs): the values were encoded into the
conversion code.
This will allow us to renumber the internal why_blockd codes without
breaking the eventlog output.

Avoid storing to tso->block_info.closure
In one case we can use a specific union member (.prev) instead. In
several cases the stores were in fact redundant because of subsequent
overwrites.
In scavengeTSO we replace setting tso->block_info.closure to a valid
closure, with an assertion that the block_info.unused is already set to
END_TSO_QUEUE which is a valid (static) closure.

encoding.

Define constants for the existing stg_threadStatuszh return codes
The stg_threadStatuszh reuses the internal tso->why_blocked codes but
also extends them with a couple previously magic values. This is awkward
since we need to know what those magic values are so we don't
accidentally use those values to mean something else. By pulling a
definition up to where the why_blocked codes are defined we will be able
to avoid mistakenly assining those codes some meaning (or just changing
the BlockedThreadComplete, BlockedThreadKilled code if necessary).

Extend the tso->why_blocked encoding to indicate block_info closures
We use some bit tricks to cheaply and generically test if a
tso->why_blocked tag implies that the corresponding tso->block_info will
contain a non-trivial valid closure (i.e. not just block_info.unused set
to END_TSO_QUEUE).
In particular we arrange for most why_blocked values to naturally have a
distinguishing bit, but for the BlockedOn{Read,Write,Delay} cases, they
can come in either non-closure or closure forms. We allow an additional
bit to distinguish these cases. The non-closure forms are only from
legacy I/O managers: select and win32-legacy. So this extra bit
mechanism will be able to be retired once the legacy I/O managers are
themselves retired.
This means in a few places we need to untag the why_blocked value before
inspecting it, but in most places we do not.

This partially enforces the use of why_blocked as a tag for the
block_info union. We could be stricter and check for the correct
expected info table for the closure cases.

Use IsBlockInfoClosure to simplify several tests
In GC and generic traversal we need to know if we should look at the
block_info.closure or not. Now we can do just that using a cheap bit
test on the why_blocked tag.
This fixes issue 26717, where the problem was that some GC modes did not
know when to look at block_info.closure, because the poll I/O manager
uses a closure for BlockedOn{Read,Write} while the select I/O manager
uses a non-closure. Now this information is in the why_blocked tag
itself.

Follow atomic access rules more consistently for tso->why_blocked
The rule is this:
store block_info *before* why_blocked
store why_blocked using store release
load why_blocked using load acquire
load block_info *after* why_blocked
This is a an atomic store release / load acquire pair and (if the reads
are in a separate thread to the writes, and the read receives the value
stored) then this guarantees a full "happens before" relationship of
these stores and loads.
In some cases, we do not need a full load acquire, because we don't read
the block_info at all and so do not need any ordering. In this case we
just need an atomic relaxed load.
This was being followed in most places, but not all. If there's good
reason in any case that we don't need atomic access, then we should
document that in a comment. In the absence of that I think it's easier
to follow the rule everywhere.

Adds a new warning, -Wdefaulted-callstack, which warns when an implicit
CallStack parameter is defaulted to the empty stack. In particular, this

from a definition that does *not* provide one. At such call sites the call stack
is cut off and does not include the enclosing definition's callers, which can be
a source of surprise if the user wants complete call stacks.

UniqueDFM: alter should preserve insertion order
Before it always inserting new elements at the end.
This is problematic because instances get inserted into the map with
`alterF`, which can change ordering of how instances are printed

I expect `alter id k = id` and `alter (fmap f) k = adjust f k`. Moving keys to
the end breaks that (`adjust` already preserves position).

Introduce global unit database cache
As a first step for better sharing of `UnitInfo` across `UnitEnv`,
we introduce a new datatype called `ExternalUnitDatabases`.
It primarily serves as an in-memory representation of *all*
`UnitDatabase`s across `UnitEnv`. This means, if multiple `HomeUnitEnv`s
depend on the same database, one way or another, we make sure that we
don't parse from disk every time.
Instead, we store the in-memory representation in `ExternalUnitDatabases`.
`ExternalUnitDatabaseCache` is the equivalent of `ExternalUnitState` in
the `UnitEnv`. It is a mutable variable wrapping `ExternalUnitDatabases`.
The mutable `ExternalUnitDatabaseCache` is used in `initUnits` to make
sure we don't parse the same unit database multiple times.
Almost by accident, we change the semantics of `initUnits` to honour
modifications to `packageDBFlags`.
The inability to change `packageDBFlags` while also reusing the already
parsed `UnitDatabase`s was reported in #26423 as a bug.
Hence, we think this behaviour change is warranted and acceptable,
especially since it comes with a breaking change to the `initUnits` API.
Add regression test for #26423
Closes #26423

Introduce UnitIndex for global external unit caching
`UnitInfo`s have been observed to cause a lot of memory usage in #27500.
Especially with multiple home units, as the same (external) units are
processed from scratch, even though most of the time we end up with
exactly the same `UnitInfo`.
We introduce a `UnitEnv` global cache that allows us to store external
unit information that is used across all `HomeUnitEnv`s.
The most important change in this commit is the introduction of the `UnitIndex`.
It stores a global mapping of `UnitId` -> `UnitInfo`, and `initUnits`
always uses the cached `UnitInfo` entry to populate each
`HomeUnitEnv`'s `UnitState`.
This allows us to ensure the following property:
> Each `UnitInfo` should be alive exactly once in GHC.
All `UnitState`s should reference 'UnitInfo's stored in the 'UnitIndex'.
This ensured by calling 'initUnits' with the 'UnitIndex'.
In addition, the `ExternalUnitDatabases` may also hold a reference
to each on-disk representation of `UnitInfo`.
This means, we impose an hard upper bound on the number of `UnitInfo`s
alive in the GHC session:
> The number of alive `UnitInfo`s closure objects must be the
> sum of all loaded unit database times two.
We add performance regression tests that make sure the number of live
`UnitInfo` cannot exceed this threshold.
Closes #27500
-------------------------
Metric Decrease:
MultiComponentModules
MultiComponentModulesRecomp
MultiComponentModulesRecomp100
mhu-perf
LinkableUsage02
-------------------------
These metrics increases are especially notable, as we are not even
sharing anything big but merely the global package database with 50
entries.
It shows how careful sharing of `UnitInfo` can improve memory usage.
We expect this to be much more notable when the whole cabal package
database is shared across multiple home units.
`LinkableUsage02` metric decreases on unreg and i386 platform, only.
---
Technical details
To share the `UnitInfo`s correctly, it is important that we extract
the `WireMap` into the `UnitIndex`. At the moment of writing, `WireMap`
must be globally the same for all `HomeUnitEnv`s.
This is important, as we could otherwise not cache the "fully-resolved"
`UnitInfo`, as we don't change the `UnitId` or `unitAbiHash` when
resolving wired-in units. Thus, there could be ambiguities, when the
`WireMap` is not the same for all `UnitState`s across the `UnitEnv`.
We consider a `UnitInfo` fully-resolved, if wired-in units have been
updated, the `UnitInfo` has been validated and variables in the unit
config, such as `${pkgroot}` have been resolved.
Updating the wired-in units requires the `WireMap` to be globally the
same.

hadrian: implement and use writeFileAtomic to fix race condition
This patch implements `writeFileAtomic` in hadrian and change all
invocations of shake non-atomic `writeFile'` to use `writeFileAtomic`,
to avoid multiple hadrian concurrent invocations overwriting the same
in-tree generated file not in the build root directory. Fixes #27536.
Additional notes:
- `writeFileChanged`/`writeFileChangedBS` cannot be made atomic since
it involves reading the file's older version, so their uses are left
alone. It doesn't affect #27536 given their outputs are contained in
the build root directory.
- It's possible to shrink this patch by only making writes outside the
build root directory atomic. But I think it's not worth the effort
for fine grained distinction here, and atomic writes within the
build root directory should also improve robustness of a hadrian
build.
- In the longer term we do want to make a ghc build only generate
files within the build root directory, though that's a lot of work
and outside the scope of this particular bugfix.
