Don't use global variables to address concurrency bugs! (fixes #27234)
This was originally introduce with
88f38b03025386f0f1e8f5861eed67d80495168a to address #17922.
In this specific case a better fix would have been to synchronize on
stderr:
withHandle_ "stderrSupportsAnsiColors" stderr $ \ _ -> do
...
But apparently the dependency on `terminfo` was removed in
32ab07bf3d6ce45e8ea5b55e8095174a6b42a7f0, preventing #17922 in the first
place.

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.

Reg.Linear: drop Platform argument from most FR (FreeRegs) methods
The FR class has one instance per CPU architecture, so any
architecture-constant information its methods derived from the Platform
argument can instead be baked into the instance. This removes the now
needless Platform argument from frAllocateReg, frGetFreeRegs and
frReleaseReg.
frInitFreeRegs keeps its Platform argument: the initial allocatable set is
genuinely platform-dependent, see Note [Aarch64 Register x18 at Darwin and
Windows].

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.

Rename `MCDiagnostic` to `InternalMCDiagnostic`
`MCDiagnostic` is meant to be used for compiler diagnostics.
Any code that creates `MCDiagnostic` directly, without going through
`GHC.Driver.Errors.printMessage`, sidesteps `-fdiagnostics-as-json` (see
e.g. !14616, !14475, !14492 !14548).
To avoid this in the future, this change more narrowly controls who
creates `MCDiagnostic` (see #24113).

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.

EPA: Remove LocatedC / SrcSpanAnnC
This is part of a cleanup of the zoo of
SrcSpanAnnXXX types for exact print annotations.
This one removes SrcSpanAnnC used for storing exact print annotations
for contexts. It replaces it with an explicit `HsContext` data type
that carries the annotations and the context.
So, replace
type HsContext pass = [LHsType pass]
with
type HsContext pass = HsContextDetails pass (LHsType pass)
data HsContextDetails pass arg
= HsContext
{ hsc_ext :: !(XHsContext pass)
, hsc_ctxt :: [arg]
}
| XHsContextDetails !(XXHsContextDetails 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

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).

Decoupling 'L.H.S' from 'GHC.Hs.Doc'
* Migrated 'GHC.Hs.Doc' and 'GHC.Hs.DocString' AST defintions from 'GHC.*' namespace,
to new 'Language.Haskell.Syntax.Doc' module in the 'L.H.S' "namespace."
* 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.*.
- Only edges from LHS.* to GHC.Data.FastString now!

Solution: Never make an absent filler or rubbish literal for a terminating type
like a dictionary. mkAbsentFiller returns Nothing for isTerminatingType, so
worker/wrapper and the specialiser keep the real argument instead.
Some small metric decreases because we do a little less work in the
simplifier now.

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.

Closes #21628

hadrian: binary-dist-dir should not be the default target

hadrian: Add stage3 cross-bindist target with separate output folder
Add a 'binary-dist-stage3' target that packages target executables
(produced by the stage2 cross-compiler) into a separate
'bindist-stage3/' folder, distinct from the stage2 cross-compiler
bindist in 'bindist/'.
Key changes:
- BindistConfig: add 'bindistFolder' field so each config knows its
parent output folder. crossBindist uses 'bindist', targetBindist
uses 'bindist-stage3'. implicitBindistConfig now considers
finalStage to pick targetBindist for stage3 builds.
- BinaryDist:
- Drive configure/Makefile/install-file rules for both folders via
forM_ instead of a single 'bindist' path; per-stage distrib
directory avoids autoreconf races.
- binary-dist-stage3 phony outputs to 'bindist-stage3'.
- generateSettings is passed the compiler stage explicitly; ghc-pkg
recache uses the executable_stage builder.
- pkgToWrappers honors the supplied stage for program naming.
- Generate: per-stage configure.ac templates (templateRuleForStages)
with correct Build/Host platform interpolation for stage3 (target =
host = build). generateSettings takes the compiler stage as a
parameter rather than inferring it as predStage.
- CabalReinstall: use executable_stage from implicitBindistConfig
instead of hard-coded Stage2 for wrapper generation.
This allows a single cross-compile to produce both a cross-compiler
bindist (x86_64 host) and a target-architecture bindist (e.g. RISC-V)
that can be installed and run natively on the target.

ci: Combine cross stage2 and stage3 bindists in one job
Rename crossConfig to stage2CrossConfig for clarity and turn the
nightly x86_64-linux-deb13-riscv-cross job into a combined stage3
job (crossStage = Just 3). With CROSS_STAGE=3, build_hadrian invokes
both the 'binary-dist' and 'binary-dist-stage3' targets, then renames
the resulting tarballs via BIN_DIST_NAME and BIN_DIST_NAME_STAGE3.
The combined job produces two artifacts: the cross-compiler bindist
(stage2, runs on x86_64) and the target bindist (stage3, native RISC-V
executables) under their historical names, so downstream consumers
need no changes.
gen_ci.hs:
- stage2CrossConfig replaces crossConfig.
- binDistNameStage3 generates the backward-compatible stage3 artifact
name for jobs with crossStage == Just 3.
- jobVariables advertises BIN_DIST_NAME_STAGE3 for stage3 jobs.
- stage3Artifacts adds the stage3 tarball to artifactPaths.
- cross_jobs: riscv job now sets crossStage = Just 3.
ci.sh:
- CROSS_STAGE=3 builds both binary-dist and binary-dist-stage3.
- After building, rename the stage3 tarball from
_build/bindist-stage3/ to $BIN_DIST_NAME_STAGE3.tar.xz.
- cross_prefix is empty for CROSS_STAGE=3 (target GHC runs natively
on the target, no host-target distinction at install time).
jobs.yaml: regenerated. The riscv job keeps its existing name, now
with CROSS_STAGE=3 and the extra stage3 artifact + variable.
