rts: fix typo in TICK_ALLOC_RTS
This patch fixes a typo in the `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` macro, the original
`bytes` argument was silently dropped. The Cmm code has its own
version of `TICK_ALLOC_RTS` not affected by this typo, it affected the
C RTS, and went unnoticed because the variable `n` happened to also be
available at its call site. But the number was incorrect. Also fixes
its call site since `WDS()` is not available in C.

Make the implicit-parameter class have representational role
This MR addresses #26737, by making the built-in class IP
have a representational role for its second parameter.
See Note [IP: implicit parameter class] in
ghc-internal:GHC.Internal.Classes.IP
In fact, IP is (unfortunately, currently) exposed by
base:GHC.Base, so we ran a quick CLC proposal to
agree the change:
https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/385
Some (small) compilations get faster because they only need to
load (small) interface file GHC.Internal.Classes.IP.hi,
rather than (large) GHC.Internal.Classes.hi.

testsuite: avoid re.sub in favor of simple string replacements
This patch refactors the testsuite driver and avoids the usage of
re.sub in favor of simple string replacements when possible. The
changes are not comprehensive, and there are still a lot of re.sub
usages lingering around the tree, but this already addresses a major
performance bottleneck in the testsuite driver that might has to do
with quadratic or worse slowdown in cpython's regular expression
engine when handling certain regex patterns with large strings.
Especially on i386, and i386 jobs are the bottlenecks of all full-ci
validate pipelines!
Here are the elapsed times of testing x86_64/i386 with -j48 before
this patch:
x86_64: `Build completed in 6m06s`
i386: `Build completed in 1h36m`
And with this patch:
x86_64: `Build completed in 4m55s`
i386: `Build completed in 4m23s`
Fixes #26786.

rts: avoid Cmm loop to initialize Array#/SmallArray#
Previously, `newArray#`/`newSmallArray#` called an RTS C function to
allocate the `Array#`/`SmallArray#`, then used a Cmm loop to
initialize the elements. Cmm doesn't have native for-loop so the code
is a bit awkward, and it's less efficient than a C loop, since the C
compiler can effectively vectorize the loop with optimizations.
So this patch moves the loop that initializes the elements to the C
side. `allocateMutArrPtrs`/`allocateSmallMutArrPtrs` now takes a new
`init` argument and initializes the elements if `init` is non-NULL.

Fix testsuite run for +ipe flavour transformer
This patch makes the +ipe flavour transformer pass the entire

- An RTS debug option `-DI` is added, the IPE trace information is now
only printed with `-DI`. The test cases that do require IPE trace
are now run with `-DI`.
- The testsuite config option `ghc_with_ipe` is added, enabled when
running the testsuite with `+ipe`, which skips a few tests that are
sensitive to eventlog output, allocation patterns etc that can fail
under `+ipe`.
This is the first step towards #26799.

ci: update darwin boot ghc to 9.10.3
This patch updates darwin boot ghc to 9.10.3, along with other related
updates, and pays off some technical debt here:
- Update `nixpkgs` and use the `nixpkgs-25.05-darwin` channel.
- Update the `niv` template.
- Update LLVM to 21 and update `llvm-targets` to reflect LLVM 21
layout changes for arm64/x86_64 darwin targets.
- Use `stdenvNoCC` to prevent nix packaged apple sdk from being used
by boot ghc, and manually set `DEVELOPER_DIR`/`SDKROOT` to enforce
the usage of system-wide command line sdk for macos.
- When building nix derivation for boot ghc, run `configure` via the
`arch` command so that `configure` and its subprocesses pick up the
manually specified architecture.
- Remove the previous horrible hack that obliterates `configure` to
make autoconf test result in true. `configure` now properly does its
job.
- Remove the now obsolete configure args and post install settings
file patching logic.
- Use `scheme-small` for texlive to avoid build failures in certain
unused texlive packages, especially on x86_64-darwin.

Evaluate backtraces for "error" exceptions at the moment they are thrown
See Note [Capturing the backtrace in throw] and
Note [Hiding precise exception signature in throw] which explain the
implementation.
This commit makes `error` and `throw` behave the same with regard to
backtraces. Previously, exceptions raised by `error` would not contain
useful IPE backtraces.
I did try and implement `error` in terms of `throw` but it started to
involve putting diverging functions into hs-boot files, which seemed to
risky if the compiler wouldn't be able to see if applying a function
would diverge.

Improve defaulting of representational equalities
This commit makes the defaulting of representational equalities, introduced
in 1e53277a, a little bit more robust. Now, instead of calling the eager
unifier, it calls the full-blown constraint solver, which means that it can
handle some subtle situations, e.g. involving functional dependencies and
type-family injectivity annotations, such as:
type family F a = r | r -> a
type instance F Int = Bool
[W] F beta ~R Bool

Improve errors for unsolved representational equalities
This commit adds a new field of CtLoc, CtExplanations, which allows the
typechecker to leave some information about what it has done. For the moment,
it is only used to improve error messages for unsolved representational
equalities. The typechecker will now accumulate, when unifying at
representational role:
- out-of-scope newtype constructors,
- type constructors that have nominal role in a certain argument,
- over-saturated type constructors,
- AppTys, e.g. `c a ~R# c b`, to report that we must assume that 'c' has
nominal role in its parameters,
- data family applications that do not reduce, potentially preventing
newtype unwrapping.
Now, instead of having to re-construct the possible errors after the fact,
we simply consult the CtExplanations field.
Additionally, this commit modifies the typechecker error messages that
concern out-of-scope newtype constructors. The error message now depends
on whether we have an import suggestion to provide to the user:
- If we have an import suggestion for the newtype constructor,
the message will be of the form:
The data constructor MkN of the newtype N is out of scope
Suggested fix: add 'MkN' to the import list in the import of 'M'
- If we don't have any import suggestions, the message will be
of the form:
NB: The type 'N' is an opaque newtype, whose constructor is hidden

Fix two bugs in short-cut constraint solving
There are two main changes here:
* Use `isSolvedWC` rather than `isEmptyWC` in `tryShortCutSolver`
The residual constraint may have some fully-solved, but
still-there implications, and we don't want them to abort short
cut solving! That bug caused #26805.
* In the short-cut solver, we abandon the fully-solved residual
constraint; but we may thereby lose track of Givens that are
needed, and either report them as redundant or prune evidence
bindings that are in fact needed.
This bug stopped the `constraints` package from compiling;
see the trail in !15389.
The second bug led me to (another) significant refactoring
of the mechanism for tracking needed EvIds. See the new
Note [Tracking needed EvIds] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Solve
It's simpler and much less head-scratchy now.
Some particulars:
* An EvBindsVar now tracks NeededEvIds
* We deal with NeededEvIds for an implication only when it is
fully solved. Much simpler!
* `tryShortCutTcS` now takes a `TcM WantedConstraints` rather than
`TcM Bool`, so that is can plumb the needed EvIds correctly.
* Remove `ic_need` and `ic_need_implic` from Implication (hooray),
and add `ics_dm` and `ics_non_dm` to `IC_Solved`.
Pure refactor
* Shorten data constructor `CoercionHole` to `CH`, following
general practice in GHC.
* Rename `EvBindMap` to `EvBindsMap` for consistency

`GHC.Desugar` was deprecated and should have been removed in GHC 9.14.
However, the removal was forgotten, although there was a code block that
was intended to trigger a compilation error when the GHC version in use
was 9.14 or later. This code sadly didn’t work, because the
`__GLASGOW_HASKELL__` macro was misspelled as `__GLASGOW_HASKELL`.

determinism: Use deterministic map for Strings in TyLitMap
When generating typeable evidence the types we need evidence for all
cached in a TypeMap, the order terms are retrieved from a type map
determines the order the bindings appear in the program.
A TypeMap is quite diligent to use deterministic maps, apart from in the
TyLitMap, which uses a UniqFM for storing strings, whose ordering
depends on the Unique of the FastString.
This can cause non-deterministic .hi and .o files.
An unexpected side-effect is the error message but RecordDotSyntaxFail8
changing. I looked into this with Sam and this change caused the
constraints to be solved in a different order which results in a
slightly different error message. I have accepted the new test, since
the output before was non-deterministic and the new output is consistent
with the other messages in that file.
