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'
Orphan instances resolved (37):
| Data-type | Resolved instance(s) | Former orphan module(s) |
| -------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Role | Binary, NFData, Outputable | GHC.Core.Coercion.Axiom |

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.

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.

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.

This is problematic because instances get inserted into the map with

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

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.

type SrcSpanAnnP = EpAnn AnnPragma
As the first step in removing this in favour of LocatedA which only
captures location, comments and trailing annotations, we remove it
from OverlapMode
We do this by moving the AnnPragma into the TTG extension point
instead.

testsuite: Don't crash on non-UTF-8 test output
read_stdout, read_stderr_for, read_comp_stderr and read_diff decoded
strictly (the first three with UTF-8, read_diff with the locale
encoding), so a test emitting invalid UTF-8 (binary output, or a crash
truncating a multi-byte character) raised UnicodeDecodeError and was
reported as a framework failure instead of its actual result.
Decode with errors='replace', like read_no_crs and safe_print.

testsuite: Colorize the test summary, also in CI
The summary headings were plain, and SUMMARY was colored unconditionally,
so the escapes also ended up in the file written by --summary-file.
Color is now decided per output sink via term_color.colored_if; see the
comments in term_color.
CI logs are not a tty, but GitLab's log viewer renders ANSI colors, so
add --force-colors and pass it in .gitlab/ci.sh.

testsuite: Repeat unexpected failure output in the summary
Finding out why a test failed meant scrolling back through a possibly
very long log to the point where the test ran. The summary now repeats
the captured output of unexpected failures, before the statistics, so
the most interesting part is at the end of the log (#16720).
Output mismatches report their diff instead of the mismatching stream
(see Note [Redundant output in test results]). The repeated output is
bounded per stream, and skipped altogether beyond
MAX_SUMMARY_OUTPUT_TESTS failure blocks. Tests failing identically in
several ways share one block.
Test results now report a source-relative directory, stable regardless
of where the run was started from.

Test cases for #18725
Starting with GHC 9.4 (the first release to include 268efcc9a4), the program in
this ticket no longer panics. A standalone kind signature breaks the recursive
loop, so the type constructor can be used in a kind within its own group.
T18725a checks that this is accepted with the signature present, while T18725b
confirms it is still rejected without it.

ghc-config.hs moved from testsuite/mk/ to testsuite/ghc-config/ in

the old location. As a result the compiled ghc-config binary, which

EPA: Replace AnnPragma with individual types
We introduced AnnPragma as a common type for all pragma usages wrapped
in LocatedP / SrcSpanAnnP. Now that those are gone, and the AnnPragma
moved into the TTG points for the given items, we can ensure that each
carries only the annotations it needs.
So we remove AnnPragma, and in its place bring in
AnnCType
AnnWarningTxt
AnnOverlap

Cmm: print unreachable blocks under -dppr-debug (#27368)
Unreachable blocks linger in a CmmGraph's block map for most of the Cmm
pipeline, but pprCmmGraph only ever printed the blocks reachable from the
entry, so dumps looked consistent while the graph was not. Issues like
#27368 were hard to debug due to this.
pprCmmGraph now appends the stored-but-unreachable blocks under a
"// unreachable blocks:" heading when -dppr-debug is on.

Fix three bugs related to required type args and INLINE pragmas
* `GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.mkEtaForAllMCo` got the visibility flags back to front,
leading to a Lint error (#27557)
* The arity in an InlineSaturation is the VisArity not the Arity; the
two can differ when we have "required" type arguments. This made the
INLINE pragma argument counting go wrong in `makeCorePair` (#27590).
* When a simple binding has a type signature, we take special path in `tcPolyCheck`,
leading to an outer `AbsBinds` that has no dictionaries, even when the binding
is in fact overloaded. That confused the inline-arity computation in
`makeCorePair` (#27589).
The latter two are fixed using the new function `GHC.HsToCore.Binds.findSatArity`.
That actually simplifies the API of `makeCorePair`, which is nice.
The first bug is fixed by swapping the visiblity flags in
`GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.mkEtaForAllMCo`
Getting the INLINE behaviour right led to some perf changes:
* Runtime /halved/ on T7954 due to better specialisation
* Compile time increased by 6% in T21839c because a bit more inlining
happened, as it always should have done.
* For some reason compile-time max-bytes-used dropped by 30% on
T27336, but only on one build configuration; and it increased
on LinkableUsage02 by 6% on another configuration
Geometric mean effect on our compile time benchmarks is +0.1%.

Discard type arguments in tcPatToExpr (#27440, #27583)
The builder expression of an implicitly bidirectional pattern synonym must not
mention types written in the RHS:
* Invisible type arguments led to a panic (#27440)
* Required type arguments failed with out-of-scope variables (#27583)
Both are now discarded, following the precedent established by pattern
signatures (#9867).
Discarding type arguments takes some care: a type pattern cannot be told from a
value pattern by syntax alone, as the `type` keyword may be omitted. Consider:
data T a b c where
MkT :: forall a. forall b c -> a -> T a b c
pattern P :: x -> T x y z
pattern P x = MkT @a (type b) c x
In P's right-hand side, `@a` and `type b` are clearly type arguments, but what
about `c` and `x`? We can only tell by matching the patterns against MkT's
type. So tcPatToExpr now runs in TcM and matches the arguments against the
constructor's TyVarBinders using zipPatsBndrs, which is made public for this
purpose. The resulting builder is $bP x = MkT _ _ x.
See Note [Discarding types in the builder expression].

mkWpFun_FRR: fix ordering of coercion composition
When the subsumption machinery generates an eta-expansion, we must
perform a representation polymorphism check to ensure the lambda binder
it introduces has a fixed runtime representation.
This is done in GHC.Tc.Utils.mkWpFun_FRR.
This check involves composing quite a few coercions, arising from
representation-polymorphism checks on both the actual and expected
argument types. These coercions are then chained using HsWrapper
composition, <.>. The ordering of composition was incorrect, leading to
the Core Lint failure reported in #27639. This commit fixes that.
Fixes #27639

Use a pigeonhole sort for deterministic UniqDFM iteration
Deterministic UniqDFM iteration used a list mergesort, allocating O(n
log n) cons cells and contributing significantly to compiler allocations
(#27459).
Use a pigeonhole sort where appropriate, while retaining the mergesort
fallback. See Note [Sorting a UDFM] and Note [Cost of deterministic
iteration].
The peak_megabytes_allocated increase for LinkableUsage02 is probably
due to GC timing noise. See #27613.
