Use unsafePerformIO in definition of computeFingerprint

computeFingerprint is morally a pure function, which is implemented by
mutating a buffer. Using unsafePerformIO inside the definition allows it
to be used in pure contexts, fixing one place where an ad-hoc call to
unsafePerformIO is already needed.

driver: Fix recompilation checking for exported defaults

Since the exported defaults are not associated with any identifier from
the module, they are just added to the export hash rather than
the fine-grained recompilation logic.

Fixes #25855

driver: Fix recompilation checking for COMPLETE pragmas

A {-# COMPLETE P, Q #-} pragma is associated with the pattern synonyms P
and Q during recompilation checking. Therefore, the existence of a
pattern synonym becomes part of the ABI hash for P and Q.

Then if a module uses these pattern synonyms and a complete pragma
changes, it will trigger recompilation in that module.

Handle named default exports separately

This commit changes the way we check for duplicate exports of named
default declarations. They are now treated entirely separately from
other exports, because in an export list of the form

  module M ( default Cls, Cls )

the default declaration does not export the class 'Cls', but only its
default declarations.

Also fixes a bug in Backpack where named default exports were getting
dropped entirely. No test for that.

GHC settings: always unescape escaped spaces

In #25204, it was noted that GHC didn't properly deal with having
spaces in its executable path, as it would compute an invalid path
for the C compiler.

The original fix in 31bf85ee49fe2ca0b17eaee0774e395f017a9373 used a
trick: escape spaces before splitting up flags into a list. This fixed
the behaviour with extra flags (e.g. -I), but forgot to also unescape
for non-flags, e.g. for an executable path (such as the C compiler).

This commit rectifies this oversight by consistently unescaping the
spaces that were introduced in order to split up argument lists.

NamedDefaults: handle poly-kinded unary classes

With this commit, we accept named default declarations for poly-kinded
classes such as Typeable, e.g.

  default Typeable (Char)

This used to fail because we assumed the kind of the class was monomorphic,
e.g.

  Type -> Constraint
  (Type -> Type) -> Constraint
  Nat -> Constraint

Now, we can handle a simple polymorphic class such as

  Typeable :: forall k. k -> Constraint

Note that we keep the restriction that the class must only have
one visible argument.

This is all explained in the new Note [Instance check for default declarations]
in GHC.Tc.Gen.Default.

This commit adds a new check to Cmm lint to ensure that the argument
types to a CallishMachOp are correct. The lack of this check was
detected in the AtomicFetch test: the literals being passed as the
second arguments to operations such as 'fetch_add', 'fetch_and'... were
of the wrong width, which tripped up the LLVM backend.

This patch adds ghc-wasm-meta integration testing jobs to the CI

manually when the `wasm` label is set.

These jobs will fetch the wasm bindists and test them against a
variety of downstream projects, similarly to head.hackage jobs for
native bindists, offering a convenient way to catch potential
downstream breakage while refactoring the wasm backend.

Finer-grained recompilation checking for exports

This commit refines the recompilation checking logic, to avoid
recompiling modules with an explicit import list when the modules they
import start exporting new items.

More specifically, when:

  1. module N imports module M,
  2. M is changed, but in a way that:
      a. preserves the exports that N imports
      b. does not introduce anything that forces recompilation downstream,
         such as orphan instances

then we no longer require recompilation of N.

Note that there is more to (2a) as initially meets the eye:

  - if N includes a whole module or "import hiding" import of M,
    then we require that the export list of M does not change,
  - if N only includes explicit imports, we check that the imported
    items don't change, e.g.

      - if we have @import M(T(K, f), g)@, we must check that N
        continues to export all these identifiers, with the same Avail
        structure (i.e. we should error if N stops bundling K or f with
        T)
      - if we have @import M(T(..))@, we must check that the children
        of T have not changed

See Note [When to recompile when export lists change?] in GHC.Iface.Recomp.

This is all tested in the new tests RecompExports{1,2,3,4,5}

Move logic to find and set Breakpoint to GHC

Breakpoints are uniquely identified by a module and an index unique
within that module. `ModBreaks` of a Module contains arrays mapping from
this unique breakpoint index to information about each breakpoint. For
instance, `modBreaks_locs` stores the `SrcSpan` for each breakpoint.

To find a breakpoint using the line number you need to go through all
breakpoints in the array for a given module and look at the line and
column stored in the `SrcSpan`s. Similarly for columns and finding
breakpoints by name.

This logic previously lived within the `GHCi` application sources,
however, it is common to any GHC applications wanting to set
breakpoints, like the upcoming `ghc-debugger`.

This commit moves this logic for finding and setting breakpoints to the
GHC library so it can be used by both `ghci` and `ghc-debugger`.

Refactor and move logic for identifier breakpoints

Breakpoints can be set on functions using syntax of the form
`[Module.]function`. The parsing, resolution (e.g. inferring implicit
module), and validation of this syntax for referring to functions was
tightly coupled with its GHCi use.

This commit extracts the general purpose bits of resolving this syntax
into `GHC.Runtime.Debugger.Breakpoints` so it can be further used by
other GHC applications and to improve the code structure of GHCi.

Moreover, a few utilities that do splitting and joining of identifiers
as strings were moved to `GHC.Runtime.Eval.Utils`, which also can be
used in the future to clean up `GHC.Runtime.Eval` a bit.

debugger: Add breakpoints to every Stmt

While single-stepping through a Haskell program we stop at every
breakpoint. However, we don't introduce breakpoints at every single
expression (e.g. single variables) because they would be too many and
uninteresting.

That said, in a do-block, it is expected that stepping over would break
at every line, even if it isn't particularly interesting (e.g. a single
arg like getArgs). Moreover, let-statements in do-blocks, despite only
being evaluated once needed, lead to surprising jumps while stepping
through because some have outermost (outside the let) breakpoints
while others don't.

This commit makes every statement in a do-block have a breakpoint.
This leads to predictable stepping through in a do-block.
Duplicate breakpoints in the same location are avoided using the
existing blacklist mechanism, which was missing a check in one relevant place.

TcRnIllegalTermLevelUse: simpler error when possible

This commit makes GHC emit a simple error message in the case of an
illegal term-level use of a data constructor: we will try to report an
out-of-scope error instead of a "Illegal term level use" error, as the
latter might be a bit overwhelming for newcomers.

We do this when we have a data constructor import suggestion to provide
to the user. For example:

  module M where { data A = A }

  module N where
    import M(A)

    x = Bool
    -- Illegal term-level use of Bool

    y = A
    -- Data constructor not in scope: A.
    -- Perhaps add 'A' to the import list of 'M'.

This commit also revamps the "similar names" suggestion mechanism,
and in particular its treatment of name spaces. Now, which name spaces
we suggest is based solely on what we are looking for, and no longer on
the NameSpace of the Name we have. This is because, for illegal term-level
use errors, it doesn't make much sense to change the suggestions based
on the fact that we resolved to e.g. a type constructor/class; what
matters is what we were expecting to see in this position.
See GHC.Rename.Unbound.{suggestionIsRelevant,relevantNameSpace} as well
as the new constructors to GHC.Tc.Errors.Types.WhatLooking.

driver: Split Session functions out of Main

This commit moves out functions that help in creating and validating a
GHC multi session from Main into the ghc library where they can be used by
other GHC applications.

Moreover, `Mode` processing and `checkOptions` linting were moved to
separate modules within the ghc-bin executable package.

In particular:

- Move `Mode` types and functions (referring to the mode GHC is running
  on) to `ghc-bin:GHC.Driver.Session.Mode`

- Move `checkOptions` and aux functions, which validates GHC DynFlags
  based on the mode, to `ghc-bin:GHC.Driver.Session.Lint`

- Moves `initMulti`, `initMake`, and aux functions, which initializes a make/multi-unit
  session, into `ghc:GHC.Driver.Session.Units`.

NamedDefaults: require the class to be standard

We now only default type variables if they only appear in constraints
of the form `C v`, where `C` is either a standard class or a class with
an in-scope default declaration.

This rectifies an oversight in the original implementation of the
NamedDefault extensions that was remarked in #25775; that implementation
allowed type variables to appear in unary constraints which had arbitrary
classes at the head.

details of the implementation.

Retry type/class declarations and instances (#12088)

Retry type/class declarations and instances to account for non-lexical
dependencies arising from type/data family instances.

This patch improves the kind checker's ability to use type instances in kind
checking of other declarations in the same module.

* Key change: tcTyAndClassDecls now does multiple passes over the TyClGroups,
  as long as it is able to make progress.
  See the new Note [Retrying TyClGroups] in GHC.Tc.TyCl

* Supporting change: FVs of a TyClGroup are now recorded in its extension
  field, namely XCTyClGroup.
  See the new Note [Prepare TyClGroup FVs] in GHC.Rename.Module

* Instances are no longer inserted at the earliest positions where their FVs
  are bound. This is a simplification.
  See the new Note [Put instances at the end] in GHC.Rename.Module

* Automatic unpacking is now more predictable, but fewer fields get unpacked
  by default. Use explicit {-# UNPACK #-} pragmas instead.

checkFamApp: don't be so eager to cycle break

As remarked in #25933, a pure refactoring of checkTyEqRhs in
ab77fc8c7adebd610aa0bd99d653f9a6cc78a374 inadvertently changed behaviour,
as it caused GHC to introduce cycle-breaker variables in some
unnecessary circumstances.

This commit refactors 'GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.checkFamApp' in a way that
should restore the old behaviour, so that, when possible, we first
recur into the arguments and only introduce a cycle breaker if this
recursion fails (e.g. due to an occurs check failure).

driver: Add support for "Fixed" nodes in the ModuleGraph

A fixed node in the module graph is one which we presume is already
built. It's therefore up to the user to make sure that the interface
file and any relevant artifacts are available for a fixed node.

Fixed/Compile nodes are represented by the ModuleNodeInfo type, which
abstracts the common parts of Fixed/Compile nodes with accessor
functions of type `ModuleNodeInfo -> ...`.

Fixed nodes can only depend on other fixed nodes. This invariant can be
checked by the function `checkModuleGraph` or `mkModuleGraphChecked`.

--make mode is modified to work with fixed mode. In order to "compile" a
fixed node, the artifacts are just loaded into the HomePackageTable.
Currently nothing in the compiler will produce Fixed nodes but this is
tested with the FixedNodes GHC API test.

In subsequent patches we are going to remove the ExternalModuleGraph and
use Fixed nodes for modules in the module graph in oneshot mode.

ci: remove manual case of ghc-wasm-meta downstream testing jobs

This patch removes the manual case of ghc-wasm-meta downstream testing
jobs; now the only way of including them in the pipeline and running
them is via the test-wasm label.

The reason of the removal is it proves to be problematic for MRs with
only the wasm label; the wasm job would succeed, then the pipeline
status would be waiting for manual action instead of succeeding. There
needs to be separate jobs for the label-triggered and manual-triggered
cases, but I don't think it's worth that extra complexity, the
label-triggered case is already sufficient.

Reject puns in T2T (#24153)

This patch implements pun detection in T2T. Consider:

  x = 42
  f, g :: forall a -> ...
  f (type x) = g x

In accordance with the specification, the `g x` function call is renamed
as a term, so `x` refers to the top-level binding `x = 42`, not to the
type variable binding `type x` as one might expect.

This is somewhat counterintuitive because `g` expects a type argument.
Forbidding puns in T2T allows us to produce a helpful error message:

  Test.hs:5:16: error: [GHC-09591]
    Illegal punned variable occurrence in a required type argument.
    The name ‘x’ could refer to:
      ‘x’ defined at Test.hs:3:1

This commit is a follow up to 0dfb1fa799af254c8a1e1045fc3996af2d57a613

driver: Use ModuleGraph for oneshot and --make mode

This patch uses the `hsc_mod_graph` field for both oneshot and --make
mode. Therefore, if part of the compiler requires usage of the module
graph, you do so in a uniform way for the two different modes.

The `ModuleGraph` describes the relationship between the modules in the
home package and units in external packages. The `ModuleGraph` can be
queried when information about the transitive closure of a package is
needed. For example, the primary use of the ModuleGraph from within the
compiler is in the loader, which needs to know the transitive closure of
a module so it can load all the relevant objects for evaluation.

In --make mode, downsweep computes the ModuleGraph before any
compilation starts.

In oneshot mode, a thunk is created at the start of compilation, which
when forced will compute the module graph beneath the current module.
The thunk is only forced at the moment when the user uses Template
Haskell.

Finally, there are some situations where we need to discover what
dependencies to load but haven't loaded a module graph at all. In this
case, there is a fallback which computes the transitive closure on the
fly and doesn't cache the result. Presumably if you are going to call
getLinkDeps a lot, you would compute the right ModuleGraph before you
started.

Importantly, this removes the ExternalModuleGraph abstraction. This was quite
awkward to work with since it stored information about the home package
inside the EPS.

This patch will also be very useful when implementing explicit level
imports, which requires more significant use of the module graph in
order to determine which level instances are available at.

Refactor Handling of Multiple Default Declarations

Fixes: #25912, #25914, #25934

Previously, GHC discarded all loaded defaults (tcg_default) when local
defaults were encountered during typechecking. According to the
exportable-named-default proposal (sections 2.4.2 and 2.4.3), local
defaults should be merged into tcg_default, retaining any defaults
already present while overriding where necessary.

Key Changes:

* Introduce DefaultProvenance to track the origin of default declarations
  (local, imported, or built-in), replacing the original cd_module
  in ClassDefaults with cd_provenance :: DefaultProvenance.
* Rename tcDefaults to tcDefaultDecls, limiting its responsibility to only
  converting renamed class defaults into ClassDefaults.
* Add extendDefaultEnvWithLocalDefaults to merge local defaults into the
  environment, with proper duplication checks:
  - Duplicate local defaults for a class trigger an error.
  - Local defaults override imported or built-in defaults.
* Update and add related notes: Note [Builtin class defaults],
  Note [DefaultProvenance].
* Add regression tests: T25912, T25914, T25934.

The KindMismatch constructor was only used as an intermediate

Its removal addresses a problem detected by the "codes" test case:

In a concious deviation from the usual procedure, the error code
GHC-89223 is removed entirely rather than marked as Outdated.
The reason is that it never was user-facing in the first place.

Fix specialisation of incoherent instances (fixes #25883)

GHC normally assumes that class constraints are canonical, meaning that
the specialiser is allowed to replace one dictionary argument with another
provided that they have the same type.  The `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
flag alters INCOHERENT instance definitions so that they will prevent
specialisation in some cases, by inserting `nospec`.

This commit fixes a bug in 7124e4ad76d98f1fc246ada4fd7bf64413ff2f2e, which
treated some INCOHERENT instance matches as if `-fno-specialise-incoherents`
was in effect, thereby unnecessarily preventing specialisation. In addition
it updates the relevant `Note [Rules for instance lookup]` and adds a new
`Note [Canonicity for incoherent matches]`.

user's guide: update specification of overlapping/incoherent instances

The description of the instance resolution algorithm in the user's
guide was slightly out of date, because it mentioned in-scope given
constraints only at the end, whereas the implementation checks for
their presence before any of the other steps.

This also adds a warning to the user's guide about the impact of
incoherent instances on specialisation, and more clearly documents
some of the other effects of `-XIncoherentInstances`.

ghci: Use loadInterfaceForModule rather than loadSrcInterface in mkTopLevEnv

loadSrcInterface takes a user given `ModuleName` and resolves it to the
module which needs to be loaded (taking into account module
renaming/visibility etc).

loadInterfaceForModule takes a specific module and loads it.

The modules in `ImpDeclSpec` have already been resolved to the actual
module to get the information from during renaming. Therefore we just
need to fetch the precise interface from disk (and not attempt to rename
it again).

Add `UnitId` to `EvalBreakpoint`

The `EvalBreakpoint` is used to communicate that a breakpoint was
encountered during code evaluation.
This `EvalBreakpoint` needs to be converted to an `InternalBreakpointId`
which stores a `Module` to uniquely find the correct `Module` in the
Home Package Table.

The `EvalBreakpoint` used to store only a `ModuleName` which is then
converted to a `Module` based on the currently active home unit.
This is incorrect in the face of multiple home units, the break point
could be in an entirely other home unit!
To fix this, we additionally store the `UnitId` of the `Module` in
`EvalBreakpoint` to later reconstruct the correct `Module`

All of the changes are the consequence of extending `EvalBreakpoint`
with the additional `ShortByteString` of the `UnitId`.

For performance reasons, we store the `ShortByteString` backing the
`UnitId` directly, avoiding marshalling overhead.

Implement Explicit Level Imports for Template Haskell

This commit introduces the `ExplicitLevelImports` and
`ImplicitStagePersistence` language extensions as proposed in GHC
Proposal #682.

Key Features
------------

- `ExplicitLevelImports` adds two new import modifiers - `splice` and
`quote` - allowing precise control over the level at which imported
identifiers are available
- `ImplicitStagePersistence` (enabled by default) preserves existing
path-based cross-stage persistence behavior
- `NoImplicitStagePersistence` disables implicit cross-stage
persistence, requiring explicit level imports

Benefits
--------

- Improved compilation performance by reducing unnecessary code generation
- Enhanced IDE experience with faster feedback in `-fno-code` mode
- Better dependency tracking by distinguishing compile-time and runtime dependencies
- Foundation for future cross-compilation improvements

This implementation enables the separation of modules needed at
compile-time from those needed at runtime, allowing for more efficient
compilation pipelines and clearer code organization in projects using
Template Haskell.

Implementation Notes
--------------------

The level which a name is availble at is stored in the 'GRE', in the normal
GlobalRdrEnv. The function `greLevels` returns the levels which a specific GRE
is imported at. The level information for a 'Name' is computed by `getCurrentAndBindLevel`.
The level validity is checked by `checkCrossLevelLifting`.

Instances are checked by `checkWellLevelledDFun`, which computes the level an
instance by calling `checkWellLevelledInstanceWhat`, which sees what is
available at by looking at the module graph.

Modifications to downsweep
--------------------------

Code generation is now only enabled for modules which are needed at
compile time.
See the Note [-fno-code mode] for more information.

Uniform error messages for level errors
---------------------------------------

All error messages to do with levels are now reported uniformly using
the `TcRnBadlyStaged` constructor.

Error messages are uniformly reported in terms of levels.

0 - top-level
1 - quote level
-1 - splice level

The only level hard-coded into the compiler is the top-level in
GHC.Types.ThLevelIndex.topLevelIndex.

Uniformly refer to levels and stages
------------------------------------

There was much confusion about levels vs stages in the compiler.
A level is a semantic concept, used by the typechecker to ensure a
program can be evaluated in a well-staged manner.

A stage is an operational construct, program evaluation proceeds in
stages.

Deprecate -Wbadly-staged-types
------------------------------

`-Wbadly-staged-types` is deprecated in favour of `-Wbadly-levelled-types`.

Lift derivation changed
-----------------------

Derived lift instances will now not generate code with expression
quotations.

Before:

```
data A = A Int deriving Lift

=>
lift (A x) = [| A $(lift x) |]
```

After:

```
lift (A x) = conE 'A `appE` (lift x)
```

This is because if you attempt to derive `Lift` in a module where
`NoImplicitStagePersistence` is enabled, you would get an infinite loop
where a constructor was attempted to be persisted using the instance you
are currently defining.

GHC API Changes
---------------

The ModuleGraph now contains additional information about the type of
the edges (normal, quote or splice) between modules. This is abstracted
using the `ModuleGraphEdge` data type.

Fixes #25828

Fix infelicities in the Specialiser

On the way to #23109 (unary classes) I discovered some infelicities
(or maybe tiny bugs, I forget) in the type-class specialiser.

I also tripped over #25965, an outright bug in the rule matcher

Specifically:

* Refactor: I enhanced `wantCallsFor`, whih previously always said
`True`, to discard calls of class-ops, data constructors etc.  This is
a bit more efficient; and it means we don't need to worry about
filtering them out later.

* Fix: I tidied up some tricky logic that eliminated redundant
  specialisations.  It wasn't working correctly.  See the expanded
  Note [Specialisations already covered], and
  (MP3) in Note [Specialising polymorphic dictionaries].

  See also the new top-level `alreadyCovered`
  function, which now goes via `GHC.Core.Rules.ruleLhsIsMoreSpecific`

  I also added a useful Note [The (CI-KEY) invariant]

* Fix #25965: fixed a tricky bug in the `go_fam_fam` in
  `GHC.Core.Unify.uVarOrFam`, which allows matching to succeed
  without binding all type varibles.

  I enhanced Note [Apartness and type families] some more

* #25703. This ticket "just works" with -fpolymorphic-specialisation;
  but I was surprised that it worked! In this MR I added documentation
  to Note [Interesting dictionary arguments] to explain; and tests to
  ensure it stays fixed.

Track rewriter sets more accurately in constraint solving

The key change, which fixed #25440, is to call `recordRewriter` in
GHC.Tc.Solver.Rewrite.rewrite_exact_fam_app.  This missing call meant
that we were secretly rewriting a Wanted with a Wanted, but not really
noticing; and that led to a very bad error message, as you can see
in the ticket.

But of course that led me into rabbit hole of other refactoring around
the RewriteSet code:

* Improve Notes [Wanteds rewrite Wanteds]

* Zonk the RewriterSet in `zonkCtEvidence` rather than only in GHC.Tc.Errors.
  This is tidier anyway (e.g. de-clutters debug output), and helps with the
  next point.

* In GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality.inertsCanDischarge, don't replace a constraint
  with no rewriters with an equal constraint that has many. See
  See (CE4) in Note [Combining equalities]

* Move zonkRewriterSet and friends from GHC.Tc.Zonk.Type into
  GHC.Tc.Zonk.TcType, where they properly belong.

A handful of tests get better error messages.

Fix a bad untouchability bug im simplifyInfer

This patch addresses #26004.  The root cause was that simplifyInfer

Two loosely related refactors:

* Refactored approximateWCX to return just the free type

  of work (these free vars are needed in simplifyInfer) and makes it
  clearer that the constraints themselves are irrelevant.

* A little local refactor of TcSMode, which reduces the number of

Take subordinate 'type' specifiers into account

This patch fixes multiple bugs (#22581, #25983, #25984, #25991)
in name resolution of subordinate import lists.

Bug #22581
----------
In subordinate import lists, the use of the `type` namespace specifier
used to be ignored. For example, this import statement was incorrectly
accepted:

  import Prelude (Bool(type True))

Now it results in an error message:

  <interactive>:2:17: error: [GHC-51433]
    In the import of ‘Prelude’:
      a data type called ‘Bool’ is exported,
      but its subordinate item ‘True’ is not in the type namespace.

Bug #25983
----------
In subordinate import lists within a `hiding` clause, non-existent
items led to a poor warning message with -Wdodgy-imports. Consider:

  import Prelude hiding (Bool(X))

The warning message for this import statement used to misreport the
cause of the problem:

  <interactive>:3:24: warning: [GHC-56449] [-Wdodgy-imports]
    In the import of ‘Prelude’:
      an item called ‘Bool’ is exported, but it is a type.

Now the warning message is correct:

  <interactive>:2:24: warning: [GHC-10237] [-Wdodgy-imports]
    In the import of ‘Prelude’:
      a data type called ‘Bool’ is exported, but it does not export
      any constructors or record fields called ‘X’.

Bug #25984
----------
In subordinate import lists within a `hiding` clause, non-existent
items resulted in the entire import declaration being discarded.
For example, this program was incorrectly accepted:

  import Prelude hiding (Bool(True,X))
  t = True

Now it results in an error message:

  <interactive>:2:5: error: [GHC-88464]
    Data constructor not in scope: True

Bug #25991
----------
In subordinate import lists, it was not possible to refer to a class
method if there was an associated type of the same name:

  module M_helper where
    class C a b where
      type a # b
      (#) :: a -> b -> ()

  module M where
    import M_helper (C((#)))

This import declaration failed with:

  M.hs:2:28: error: [GHC-10237]
    In the import of ‘M_helper’:
      an item called ‘C’ is exported, but it does not export any children
      (constructors, class methods or field names) called ‘#’.

Now it is accepted.

Summary
-------
The changes required to fix these bugs are almost entirely confined to
GHC.Rename.Names. Other than that, there is a new error constructor
BadImportNonTypeSubordinates with error code [GHC-51433].

This patch marks `freeJSVal` as `INLINE` for the wasm backend. I
noticed that the `freeJSVal` invocations are not inlined when
inspecting STG/Cmm dumps of downstream libraries that use release
build of the wasm backend. The performance benefit of inlining here is
very modest, but so is the cost anyway; if you are using `freeJSVal`
at all then you care about every potential chance to improve
performance :)

wasm: add zero length fast path for fromJSString

This patch adds a zero length fast path for `fromJSString`; when
marshaling a zero-length `JSString` we don't need to allocate an empty
`ByteArray#` at all.

rts/linker: Don't fail due to RTLD_NOW

In !12264 we started using the NativeObj machinery introduced some time
ago for loading of shared objects. One of the side-effects of this
change is shared objects are now loaded eagerly (i.e. with `RTLD_NOW`).
This is needed by NativeObj to ensure full visibility of the mappings of
the loaded object, which is in turn needed for safe shared object
unloading.

Unfortunately, this change subtly regressed, causing compilation
failures in some programs. Specifically, shared objects which refer to
undefined symbols (e.g. which may be usually provided by either the
executable image or libraries loaded via `dlopen`) will fail to load
with eager binding. This is problematic as GHC loads all package
dependencies while, e.g., evaluating TemplateHaskell splices. This
results in compilation failures in programs depending upon (but not
using at compile-time) packages with undefined symbol references.

To mitigate this NativeObj now first attempts to load an object via
eager binding, reverting to lazy binding (and disabling unloading) on
failure.

See Note [Don't fail due to RTLD_NOW].

Fixes #25943.

This reverts commit fee9b351fa5a35d5778d1252789eacaaf5663ae8.
Unfortunately the chrome test jobs may still timeout on certain

Allow the 'data' keyword in import/export lists (#25899)

This patch introduces the 'data' namespace specifier in import and
export lists. The intended use is to import data constructors without
their parent type constructors, e.g.

  import Data.Proxy as D (data Proxy)
  type DP = D.Proxy   -- promoted data constructor

Additionally, it is possible to use 'data' to explicitly qualify any
data constructors or terms, incl. operators and field selectors

  import Prelude (Semigroup(data (<>)))
  import Data.Function (data (&))
  import Data.Monoid (data Dual, data getDual)

  x = Dual "Hello" <> Dual "World" & getDual

The implementation mostly builds on top of the existing logic for the
'type' and 'pattern' namespace specifiers, plus there are a few tweaks
to how we generate suggestions in error messages.

compiler: Clarify BCO size

Previously the semantics and size of StgBCO was a bit unclear.
Specifically, the `size` field was documented to contain the size of the
bitmap whereas it was actually the size of the closure *and* bitmap.
Additionally, it was not as clear as it could be that the bitmap was a
full StgLargeBitmap with its own `size` field.

Track rewriter sets more accurately in constraint solving

This MR addresses #26003, by refactoring the arcane
intricacies of Note [Equalities with incompatible kinds].
NB: now retitled to
    Note [Equalities with heterogeneous kinds].
and the main Note for this MR.

In particular:

* Abandon invariant (COERCION-HOLE) in Note [Unification preconditions] in
  GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.

* Abandon invariant (TyEq:CH)) in Note [Canonical equalities] in
  GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint.

* Instead: add invariant (REWRITERS) to Note [Unification preconditions]:
  unify only if the constraint has an empty rewriter set.

Implementation:

* In canEqCanLHSFinish_try_unification, skip trying unification if there is a
  non-empty rewriter set.

* To do this, make sure the rewriter set is zonked; do so in selectNextWorkItem,
  which also deals with prioritisation.

* When a coercion hole is filled, kick out inert equalities that have that hole
  as a rewriter.  It might now be unlocked and available to unify.

* Remove the ad-hoc `ch_hetero_kind` field of `CoercionHole`.

* In `selectNextWorkItem`, priorities equalities withan empty rewriter set.

* Defaulting: see (DE6) in Note [Defaulting equalities]
  and Note [Limited defaulting in the ambiguity check]

* Concreteness checks: there is some extra faff to try to get decent
  error messages when the FRR (representation-polymorphism) checks
  fail. In partiular, add a "When unifying..." explanation when the
  representation-polymorphism check arose from another constraint.

rts: fix rts_clearMemory logic when sanity checks are enabled

This commit fixes an RTS assertion failure when invoking
rts_clearMemory with +RTS -DS. -DS implies -DZ which asserts that free
blocks contain 0xaa as the designated garbage value. Also adds the
sanity way to rts_clearMemory test to prevent future regression.
Closes #26011.

ChatGPT Codex automatically diagnosed the issue and proposed the
initial patch in a single shot, given a GHC checkout and the following
prompt:

---

Someone is reporting the following error when attempting to use `rts_clearMemory` with the RTS option `-DS`:

```
test.wasm: internal error: ASSERTION FAILED: file rts/sm/Storage.c, line 1216

    (GHC version 9.12.2.20250327 for wasm32_unknown_wasi)
    Please report this as a GHC bug:  https://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
```

What's the culprit? How do I look into this issue?

---

I manually reviewed & revised the patch, tested and submitted it.
