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.
Update user guide putting response files in its own section

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.

testsuite: Add regression test for #4081
Check that a strict constructor field is unboxed once outside an
enclosing loop, not re-inspected each iteration (the float-out
case-floating from 9cb20b488). Uses simonpj's `data T a = T !a` example
from the ticket; T4081.stderr captures the expected Core.

Check for cabal-install >= 3.12 upfront
Starting with commit 8cb99552f607f6bc4000e45ab32532d50c8bb996, Hadrian
requires cabal-install >= 3.12 in order to use the 'cabal path' command
that was introduced in version 3.12, as per
https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/a51c4ee1556d816ad86e90db7e6330dd51b0b6...
This was not reflected in the Hadrian build script, causing a delayed
build failure instead of enforcing the version requirement upfront,
which this patch does.
Fixes #27317

Fix crash in Data.Data instance for HsCtxt
The Data.Data instance for HsCtxt contained an error for the 'toConstr'
method, which could trigger for example when looking at -ddump-tc-ast
traces. Replace it with the 'abstractConstr' pattern used in the rest of
the codebase.

Fix AArch64 clobbering bug for MUL2
On AArch64, the code generator could clobber one of the input operands
when computing the lower bits of a MUL2 operation. This rendered invalid
the subsequent computation of the high bits.
This commit fixes that by using a temporary register. The register
allocator can remove the redundant move in the common case when the
registers do not conflict.

fix: make T27131 less flaky
It seems that T27131 fails flakily in a race where we check the flag
before the capability had the chance to process the mailbox which sets
the flag. This seemingly should only happen if the capability ends up
being the same for setting and checking the flag.

Promote HAVE_PREEMPTION from Timer.c to OSThreads.h
We will want to know about HAVE_PREEMPTION in more places.
HAVE_PREEMPTION tells us that we do have OS threads available,
irrespective of whether THREADED is defined. In particular,
HAVE_PREEMPTION is defined on all proper OSs, but not on WASM (and
hyopthetically may not be true on some other platforms like
micro-controllers, RTOSs, VM hypervisors etc).

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.

Use ACQUIRE/RELEASE_LOCK_ALWAYS with eventBufMutex
Even in the non-threaded RTS the eventBufMutex is needed by both the
main capability and the timer/ticker thread, so always use the mutex.
This should fix #25165 which is about the main capability and the timer
thread posting events to the eventlog buffer concurrently and thereby
corrupting the buffer data.

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).
