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
testsuite:
- 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: only push perf notes on master/release branches
This patch fixes push_perf_notes logic in ci.sh to only push perf
notes on master/release branches. We used to unconditionally push perf
notes even in MRs, but the perf numbers in the wip branches wouldn't
be used as baseline anyway, plus this is causing a space leak in the
ghc-performance-notes repo. See #25317 for the perf notes repo size
problem.

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

However, the removal was forgotten, although there was a code block that

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.

Decouple `L.S.H.Decls` from importing `GHC.Types.Basic`
Data-types within `GHC.Types.Basic` which describe components of
the AST are migrated to `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Basic`. Related
function definitions are also moved.
Types moved to L.H.S. because they are part of the AST:
* TopLevelFlag
* RuleName
Types moved from L.H.S. to GHC.Hs. because they are not needed in the AST:
* TyConFlavour
* TypeOrData
* NewOrData
Migrated instances:
* `Outputable` instances moved to in `GHC.Utils.Outputable`
* `Binary` instance of `Boxity` moved to to `GHC.Utils.Binary`
* Other `Binary` instances are orphans to be migrated later.
The `OverlapMode` data-type is given a TTG extension point.
The `OverlapFlag` data-type, which depends on `OverlapMode`,
is updated to support `OverlapMode` with a GHC "pass" type paramerter.
In order to avoid module import cycles, `OverlapMode` and `OverlapFlag`
are migrated to new modules (no way around this).
* Migrated `OverlapMode` to new module `Language.Haskell.Syntax.Overlap`
* Migrated `OverlapFlag` to new module `GHC.Hs.Decls.Overlap`

Refactor: merge HsMultilineString into HsString (#26860)
Before this patch, HsLit defined two separate constructors to represent
single-line and multi-line strings:
data HsLit x
...
| HsString (XHsString x) FastString
| HsMultilineString (XHsMultilineString x) FastString
I found this to be an unnecessary complication and an obstacle to unifying
HsLit with HsTyLit. Now we use HsString for both kinds of literals.
One user-facing change here is `ppr (HsString st s)` behaving differently for
single-line strings containing newlines:
x = "first line \
\asdf\n\
\second line"
Previously, the literal was fed to `ftext` with its newlines, producing an
ill-formed SDoc. This issue is now addressed by using `split` for both
single-line and multi-line strings:
vcat $ map text $ split '\n' (unpackFS src)
See the parser/should_fail/T26860ppr test.
In addition (and unrelatedly to the main payload of this patch),
drop the unused pmPprHsLit helper.

ExplicitLevelImports: check staging for types just like for values
Previously, imported types were entirely exempted from staging checks as
the implicit stage persistance assumed to be all imported types to be
well staged. ExplicitLevelImports' change specification, however, does
not do such an exemption. Thus we want to introduce such a check, just
like we have for values.
ExplicitLevelImports does not, however, talk about local names - from
its perspective, we could theoretically keep treating locally introduced
types specially - e.g. an ill-staged used in a quote would only emit a
warning, not an error. To allow for a potential future migration away
from such wrinkles as the staging check in notFound
(see Note [Out of scope might be a staging error]) we consistently do
the strict staging check that we also do for value if ExplicitLevelImports
is on.

Remove `extra_src_files` variable from `testsuite/driver/testlib.py`
While reading through the test harness code, I noticed this variable
with a TODO attached that referenced #12223. Although that bug is
closed, it strongly implied that this special-case variable that only
affected a single test was expected to be removed at some point.
I also looked at 3415bcaa0b1903b5e12dfaadb5b774718e406eab---where it
was added---whose commit message suggested that it would have been
desirable to remove it, but that there were special circumstances that
meant it had to remain (though it doesn't elucidate what those special
circumstances are).
However, the special circumstances were mentioned as if the test was
in a different location than is currently is, so I decided to try
changing the test to use the standard `extra_files` mechanism, which
works in local testing.
This also seems like a reasonable time to remove the script that was
originally used in the transition, since it doesn't really serve a
purpose anymore.

ghc-toolchain: add C11 check
This patch partially reverts commit
b8307eab80c5809df5405d76c822bf86877f5960 that removed C99 check in
autoconf/ghc-toolchain. Now we:
- No longer re-implement `FP_SET_CFLAGS_C11` similar to
`FP_SET_CFLAGS_C99` in the past, since autoconf doesn't provide a
convenient `AC_PROG_CC_C11` function. ghc-toolchain will handle it
anyway.
- The Cmm CPP C99 check is relanded and repurposed for C11.
- The C99 logic in ghc-toolchain is relanded and repurposed for C11.
- The C99 check in Stg.h is corrected to check for C11. The obsolete
_ISOC99_SOURCE trick is dropped.
- Usages of `-std=gnu99` in the testsuite are corrected to use
`-std=gnu11`.
Closes #26908.

Simplify the treatment of static forms
This MR implements GHC proposal 732: simplify static forms,
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/732
thereby addressing #26556.
See `Note [Grand plan for static forms]` in GHC.Iface.Tidy.StaticPtrTable
The main changes are:
* There is a new, simple rule for (static e), namely that the free
term variables of `e` must be bound at top level. The check is
done in the `HsStatic` case of `GHC.Rename.Expr.rnExpr`
* That in turn substantially simplifies the info that the typechecker
carries around in its type environment. Hooray.
* The desugarer emits static bindings to top level directly; see the
`HsStatic` case of `dsExpr`.
* There is no longer any special static-related magic in the FloatOut
pass. And the main Simplifier pipeline no longer needs a special case
to run FloatOut even with -O0. Hooray.
All this forced an unexpected change to the pattern match checker. It
recursively invokes the main Hs desugarer when it wants to take a look
at a term to spot some special cases (notably constructor applications).
We don't want to emit any nested (static e) bindings to top level a
second time! Yikes.
That forced a modest refactor in GHC.HsToCore.Pmc:
* The `dsl_nablas` field of `DsLclEnv` now has a `NoPmc` case, which says
"I'm desugaring just for pattern-match checking purposes".
* When that flag is set we don't emit static binds.
That in turn forces a cascade of refactoring, but the net effect is an
improvement; less risk of duplicated (even exponential?) work.
See Note [Desugaring HsExpr during pattern-match checking].

ghc-internal: avoid depending on GHC.Internal.Exts
This module is mostly just re-exports. It made sense as a user-facing
module, but there's no good reason ghc-internal modules should depend on
it and doing so linearises the module graph
- move considerAccessible to GHC.Internal.Magic
Previously it lived in GHC.Internal.Exts, but it really deserves to live
along with the other magic function, which are already re-exported from .Exts
- move maxTupleSize to GHC.Internal.Tuple
This previously lived in GHC.Internal.Exts but a comment already said it
should be moved to .Tuple

Fix linking against libm by moving the -lm option
For those systems that need -lm for getting math functions, this is
currently added on the link line very early, before the object files being
linked together. Newer toolchains enable --as-needed by default, which means
-lm is ignored at that point because no object requires a math function
yet. With such toolchains, we thus have to add -lm after the objects, so the
linker actually includes libm in the link.

ghc-internal: avoid depending on GHC.Internal.Control.Monad.Fix
This module contains the definition of MonadFix, since we want an
instance for IO, that instance requires a lot of machinery and we want
to avoid an orphan instance, this will naturally be quite high up in the
dependency graph.
So we want to avoid other modules depending on it as far as possible.
On Windows, the IO manager depends on the RTSFlags type, which
transtively depends on MonadFix. We refactor things to avoid this
dependency, which would have caused a regression.

Refine the imports of `System.IO.OS`
Commit 68bd08055594b8cbf6148a72d108786deb6c12a1 replaced the
`GHC.Internal.Data.Bool` import by a `GHC.Internal.Base` import.
However, while the `GHC.Internal.Data.Bool` import was conditional and
partial, the `GHC.Internal.Base` import is unconditional and total. As a
result, the import list is not tuned to import only the necessary bits
anymore, and furthermore GHC emits a lot of warnings about redundant
imports.
This commit makes the `GHC.Internal.Base` import conditional and partial
in the same way that the `GHC.Internal.Data.Bool` import was.

wasm: add /assets endpoint to serve user-specified assets
This patch adds an `/assets` endpoint to the wasm dyld http server, so
that users can also fetch assets from the same host with sensible
default MIME types, without needing a separate http server for assets
that also introduces CORS headaches:
- A `-fghci-browser-assets-dir` driver flag is added to specify the
assets root directory (defaults to `$PWD`)
- The dyld http server fetches `mime-db` on demand and uses it as
source of truth for mime types.

Check for negative type literals in the type checker (#26861)
GHC disallows negative type literals (e.g., -1), as tested by T8306 and
T8412. This check is currently performed in the renamer:
rnHsTyLit tyLit@(HsNumTy x i) = do
when (i < 0) $
addErr $ TcRnNegativeNumTypeLiteral tyLit
However, this check can be bypassed using RequiredTypeArguments
(see the new test case T26861). Prior to this patch, such programs
caused the compiler to hang instead of reporting a proper error.
This patch addresses the issue by adding an equivalent check in
the type checker, namely in tcHsType.
The diff is deliberately minimal to facilitate backporting. A more
comprehensive rework of HsTyLit is planned for a separate commit.

Make list comprehension completely non-linear
Fixes #25081
From the note:
The usefulness of list comprehension in conjunction with linear types is dubious.
After all, statements are made to be run many times, for instance in
```haskell
[u | y <- [0,1], stmts]
```
both `u` and `stmts` are going to be run several times.
In principle, though, there are some position in a monad comprehension
expression which could be considered linear. We could try and make it so that
these positions are considered linear by the typechecker, but in practice the
desugarer doesn't take enough care to ensure that these are indeed desugared to
linear sites. We tried in the past, and it turned out that we'd miss a
desugaring corner case (#25772).
Until there's a demand for this very specific improvement, let's instead be
conservative, and consider list comprehension to be completely non-linear.

Drop HsTyLit in favor of HsLit (#26862, #25121)
This patch is a small step towards unification of HsExpr and HsType,
taking care of literals (HsLit) and type literals (HsTyLit).
Additionally, it improves error messages for unsupported type literals,
such as unboxed or fractional literals (test cases: T26862, T26862_th).
Changes to the AST:
* Use HsLit where HsTyLit was previously used
* Use HsChar where HsCharTy was previously used
* Use HsString where HsStrTy was previously used
* Use HsNatural (NEW) where HsNumTy was previously used
* Use HsDouble (NEW) to represent unsupported fractional type literals
Changes to logic:
* Parse unboxed and fractional type literals (to be rejected later)
* Drop the check for negative literals in the renamer (rnHsTyLit)
in favor of checking in the type checker (tc_hs_lit_ty)
* Check for invalid type literals in TH (repTyLit) and report
unrepresentable literals with ThUnsupportedTyLit
* Allow negative type literals in TH (numTyLit). This is fine as
these will be taken care of at splice time (test case: T8306_th)

Clean up join points, casts & ticks
This commit shores up the logic dealing with casts and ticks occurring
in between a join point binding and a jump.
Fixes #26642 #26929 #26693
Makes progress on #14610 #26157 #26422
Changes:
- Remove 'GHC.Types.Tickish.TickishScoping' in favour of simpler
predicates 'tickishHasNoScope'/'tickishHasSoftScope', as things were
before commit 993975d3. This makes the code easier to read and
document (fewer indirections).
- Introduce 'canCollectArgsThroughTick' for consistent handling of
ticks around PrimOps and other 'Id's that cannot be eta-reduced.
See overhauled Note [Ticks and mandatory eta expansion].
- New Note [JoinId vs TailCallInfo] in GHC.Core.SimpleOpt that explains
robustness of JoinId vs fragility of TailCallInfo.
- Allow casts/non-soft-scoped ticks to occur in between a join point
binder and a jump, but only in Core Prep.
See Note [Join points, casts, and ticks] and
Note [Join points, casts, and ticks... in Core Prep]
in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.
Also update Core Lint to account for this.
See Note [Linting join points with casts or ticks] in GHC.Core.Lint.
- Update 'GHC.Core.Utils.mergeCaseAlts' to avoid pushing a cast in
between a join point binding and its jumps. This fixes #26642.
See the new (MC5) and (MC6) in Note [Merge Nested Cases].
- Update float out to properly handle source note ticks. They are now
properly floated out instead of being discarded.
This increases the number of ticks in certain tests with -g.
Test cases: T26642 and TrickyJoins.

Add SIMD absolute value on x86 and LLVM
On x86, absolute value of 32 bits or less is implemented with
PABSB/PABSW/PABSD if SSSE3 is available. Otherwise, there is a fallback
for SSE2. For 64 bit integers it uses VPABSQ, required by AVX-512VL,
with fallbacks for SSE4.2 and SSE2.
There is no dedicated instruction for floating point absolute value on
x86, so it is simulated using bitwise AND.
Absolute value for signed integers and floats are implemented by the
"llvm.abs/llvm.fabs" standard library intrinsics. This implementation
uses MachOps constructors, unlike non-vector floating point absolute
value, which uses CallishMachOps.

Version has a Read instance which needs Unicode but part of the Unicode interface is the unicode version. This is easy to resolve. We simply don't re-export the version from the Unicode module.

Deprecate --bignum=... to select the bignum backend. It's only used to

flavour transformer.
Additionally, we automatically enable +native_bignum for the JS target
because the GMP backend isn't supported.

Fix GHC.Internal.Prim haddock
Haddock used to parse Haskell source to generate documentation,
but switched to using interface files instead. This broke documentation
of the GHC.Internal.Prim module, since it's a wired-in interface that

This patch adds the missing document structure and updates genprimopcode
to make the section headers and descriptions available.

This patch addresses an old TODO of `stg_tryPutMVarzh` by removing it
completely and making the compiler lower `tryPutMVar#` into a ccall to
`performTryPutMVar` directly, without landing into an intermediate C
or Cmm function. `performTryPutMVar` is promoted to a public RTS
function with default visibility, and the compiler lowering logic
takes into account the C ABI of `performTryPutMVar` and converts from
C Bool to primop's `Int#` result properly.

Apply NOINLINE pragmas to generated Typeable bindings
For context, see the existing Note [Grand plan for Typeable]
and the Note [NOINLINE on generated Typeable bindings] added in the
subsequent commit.
This is about reducing the number of exported top level names and
unfoldings, which reduces interface file sizes and reduces the number of
global/dynamic linker symbols.
Also accept the changed test output and metric decreases.
Tests that record the phase output for type checking or for simplifier
end up with different output: the generated bindings now have an
Inline [~] annotation, and many top level names are now local rather
than module-prefixed for export.
Also accept the numerous metric decreases in compile_time/bytes
allocated, and a few in compile_time/max_bytes_used.
There's also one instance of a decrease in runtime/max_bytes_used but
it's a ghci-way test and so presumably the reason is that it loads
smaller .hi files and/or links fewer symbols.

Return a valid pointer in advanceStackFrameLocationzh
When there is no next stack chunk, `advanceStackFrameLocationzh` used to
return NULL in the pointer-typed StackSnapshot# result slot.
Even though the caller treats that case as "no next frame", the result is
still materialized in a GC-visible pointer slot. If a GC observes the raw
NULL there, stack decoding can crash.
Fix this by ensuring the dead pointer slot contains a valid closure
pointer. Also make the optional result explicit by returning an unboxed
sum instead of a tuple with a separate tag.

DmdAnal: Take stable unfoldings into account when determining argument demands
Previously, demand analysis only looked at the RHS to compute argument demands.
If the optimised RHS discarded uses of an argument that the stable unfolding
still needed, it would be incorrectly marked absent. Worker/wrapper would then
replace it with LitRubbish, and inlining the stable unfolding would use the
rubbish value, causing a segfault.
To fix, we introduce addUnfoldingDemands which analyses the stable unfolding
with dmdAnal and combines its DmdType with the RHS's via the new `maxDmdType`
which combines the demands of the stable unfolding with the rhs, so we can avoid
any situation where we give an absent demand to something which is still used
by the stable unfolding.

Stg/Unarise: constant-folding during unarisation (#25650)
When building an unboxed sum from a literal argument, mkUbxSum
previously emitted a runtime cast via `case primop [lit] of var -> ...`.
This wrapper prevented GHC from recognising the result as a static
StgRhsCon, causing top-level closures to be allocated as thunks instead
of being statically allocated.
Fix: try to perform the numeric literal cast at compile time using
mkLitNumberWrap (wrapping semantics). If successful, return the cast
literal directly with an identity wrapper (no case expression). The
runtime cast path is kept as fallback for non-literal arguments.

Test that GHC stops after an interface-file error instead of

The test constructs a stale package dependency on purpose. `pkgB` is compiled
against one version of package `A`, then the same unit id is replaced by an
incompatible build of `A`. When `Main` imports `B`, GHC has to read `B.hi`,
finds an unfolding that still mentions the old `A`, and should fail while
loading interfaces.
Closes #2057.

exceptions: annotate onException continuation with WhileHandling

would loose track of where the original exception was thrown.
```
import Control.Exception
main :: IO ()
main = failingAction `onException` failingCleanup
where
failingAction = throwIO (ErrorCall "outer failure")
failingCleanup = throwIO (ErrorCall "cleanup failure")
```
would report
```

HasCallStack backtrace:

notice that the "outer failure" exception is not present in the error
message.
With this patch, any exception thrown is in the handler is annotated
with WhileHandling. The resulting message looks like

Configure: Fix check for --target support in stage0 CC
The check FP_PROG_CC_LINKER_TARGET used $CC unconditionally to check for
--target support. However this fails for the stage0 config where the C
compiler used is not $CC but $CC_STAGE0.
Since we already pass the compiler under test into the macro I simply
changed it to use that instead.

Introduce `-fimport-loaded-targets` GHCi flag
This new flag automatically adds all loaded targets to the GHCi session
by adding an `InteractiveImport` for the loaded targets.
By default, this flag is disabled, as it potentially increases memory-usage.
This interacts with the flag `-fno-load-initial-targets` as follows:
* If no module is loaded, no module is added as an interactive import.
* If a reload loads up to a module, all loaded modules are added as
interactive imports.
* Unloading modules removes them from the interactive context.
Fixes #26866 by rendering the use of a `-ghci-script` to achieve the
same thing redundant.

Improve incomplete record selector warnings
This commit stops GHC from emitting spurious incomplete record selector
warnings for bare selectors/projections such as .fld
There are two places we currently emit incomplete record selector
warnings:
1. In the desugarer, when we see a record selector or an occurrence
of 'getField'. Here, we can use pattern matching information to
ensure we don't give false positives.
2. In the typechecker, which might sometimes give false positives but
can emit warnings in cases that the pattern match checker would
otherwise miss.
This is explained in Note [Detecting incomplete record selectors]
in GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.
Now, we obviously don't want to emit the same error twice, and generally
we prefer (1), as those messages contain fewer false positives. So we
suppress (2) when we are sure we are going to emit (1); the logic for
doing so is in GHC.Tc.Instance.Class.warnIncompleteRecSel,
and works by looking at the CtOrigin.
Now, the issue was that this logic handled explicit record selectors as
well as overloaded record field selectors such as "x.r" (which turns
into a simple GetFieldOrigin CtOrigin), but it didn't properly handle
record projectors like ".fld" or ".fld1.fld2" (which result in other
CtOrigins such as 'RecordFieldProjectionOrigin').
To solve this problem, we re-use the 'isHasFieldOrigin' introduced in
fbdc623a (slightly adjusted).
On the way, we also had to update the desugarer with special handling
for the 'ExpandedThingTc' case in 'ds_app', to make sure that
'ds_app_var' sees all the type arguments to 'getField' in order for it
to indeed emit warnings like in (1).

Change representation of floating point literals
This commit changes the representation of floating point literals
throughough the compiler, in particular in Core and Cmm.
The Rational type is deficient for this purpose, dealing poorly
with NaN, +/-Infinity, and negative zero. Instead, the new module
GHC.Types.Literal.Floating uses the host Float/Double type to represent
NaNs, infinities and negative zero. It also contains a Rational
constructor, for the benefit of -fexcess-precision.
Other changes:
- Remove Note [negative zero] and related code
This also removes the restrictions on constant-folding of division
by zero, and should make any problems with NaN/Infinity more obvious.
- Use -0.0 as the additive identity for Core constant folding rules
for floating-point addition, fixing #21227.
- Manual worker-wrapper for GHC.Float.rationalToDouble. This is
intended to prevent the compiler's WW on this function from
interfering with constant-folding. This change means that we now
avoid allocating a box for the result of a 'realToFrac' call in
T10359.
- Combine floatDecodeOp and doubleDecodeOp.
This change also fixes a bug in doubleDecodeOp wherein it
would incorrectly produce an Int# instead of an Int64#
literal for the mantissa component with 64-bit targets.
- Use Float/Double for assembly immediates, and update the X86 and
PowerPC backends to properly handle special values such as NaN and
infinity.
- Allow 'rational_to' to handle zero denominators, fixing a
TODO in GHC.Core.Opt.ConstantFold.

compiler/ffi: Collapse void pointer chains in capi wrappers
New gcc/clang treat -Wincompatible-pointer-types as an error by
default. Since C only allows implicit conversion from void*, not void**,
capi wrappers for functions taking e.g. abstract** would fail to compile
when the Haskell type Ptr (Ptr Abstract) was naively translated to void**.
Collapse nested void pointers to a single void* when the pointee type
has no known C representation.

Implement basic value range analysis (#25718)
Perform basic value range analysis to try to determine at compile time
the result of the application of some comparison primops (ltWord#, etc.).
This subsumes the built-in rewrite rules used previously to check if one
of the comparison argument was a bound (e.g. (x :: Word8) <= 255 is
always True). Our analysis is more powerful and handles type
conversions: e.g. word8ToWord x <= 255 is now detected as always True too.
We also use value range analysis to filter unreachable alternatives in
case-expressions. To support this, we had to allow case-expressions for
primitive types to not have a DEFAULT alternative (as was assumed before
and checked in Core lint).

rts: Align stack to 64-byte boundary in StgRun on x86
When LLVM spills AVX/AVX-512 vector registers to the stack, it requires
32-byte (__m256) or 64-byte (__m512) alignment. If the stack is not
sufficiently aligned, LLVM inserts a realignment prologue that reserves
%rbp as a frame pointer, conflicting with GHC's use of %rbp as an STG
callee-saved register and breaking the tail-call-based calling convention.
Previously, GHC worked around this by lying to LLVM about the stack
alignment and rewriting aligned vector loads/stores (VMOVDQA, VMOVAPS)
to unaligned ones (VMOVDQU, VMOVUPS) in the LLVM Mangler. This had two
problems:
- It did not extend to AVX-512, which requires 64-byte alignment. (#26595)
- When Haskell calls a C function that takes __m256/__m512 arguments on
the stack, the callee requires genuine alignment, which could cause a
segfault. (#26822)
This patch genuinely aligns the stack to 64 bytes in StgRun by saving
the original stack pointer before alignment and restoring it in
StgReturn. We now unconditionally advertise 64-byte stack alignment to
LLVM for all x86 targets, making rewriteAVX in the LLVM Mangler
unnecessary. STG_RUN_STACK_FRAME_SIZE is increased from 48 to 56 bytes
on non-Windows x86-64 to store the saved stack pointer.

ghc-internal: Float Generics to near top of module graph
We remove GHC.Internal.Generics from the critical path of the
`ghc-internal` module graph. GHC.Internal.Generics used to be in the
middle of the module graph, but now it is nearer the top (built later).
This change thins out the module graph and allows us to get rid of the
ByteOrder hs-boot file.
We implement this by moving Generics instances from the module where the
datatype is defined to the GHC.Internal.Generics module. This trades off
increasing the compiled size of GHC.Internal.Generics with reducing the
dependency footprint of datatype modules.
Not all instances are moved to GHC.Internal.Generics. For instance,
`GHC.Internal.Control.Monad.Fix` keeps its instance as it is one of the
very last modules compiled in `ghc-internal` and so inverting the
relationship here would risk adding GHC.Internal.Generics back onto the
critical path.
We also don't change modules that are re-exported from the `template-haskell` or `ghc-heap`.
This is done to make it easy to eventually move `Generics` to `base`
once something like #26657 is implemented.

AArch64: fix MOVK regUsageOfInstr to mark dst as both read and written

allocator must know this to avoid clobbering live values. Update
regUsageOfInstr to list the destination in both src and dst sets.

rts: forward clone-stack messages after TSO migration
MSG_CLONE_STACK assumed that the target TSO was still owned by the
capability that received the message. This is not always true: the TSO
can migrate before the inbox entry is handled.
When that happened, handleCloneStackMessage could clone a live stack from
the wrong capability and use the wrong capability for allocation and
performTryPutMVar, leading to stack sanity failures such as
checkStackFrame: weird activation record found on stack.
Fix this by passing the current capability into
handleCloneStackMessage, rechecking msg->tso->cap at handling time, and
forwarding the message if the TSO has migrated. Once ownership matches,
use the executing capability consistently for cloneStack, rts_apply, and
performTryPutMVar.

compiler: use `Binary` instance of `BCOByteArray` for bytecode objects
This commit defines `Binary` (from `compiler`) instance of
`BCOByteArray` which serializes the underlying buffer directly, and
uses it directly in bytecode object serialization. Previously we reuse
the `Binary` (from `binary`) instance, and this change allows us to
avoid double-copying via an intermediate `ByteString` when using
`put`/`get` in `binnary`. Also see added comment for explanation.

Fix race condition between flushEventLog and start/endEventLogging.
This commit changes `flushEventLog` to acquire/release the `state_change` mutex to prevent interleaving with `startEventLogging` and `endEventLogging`. In the current RTS, `flushEventLog` _does not_ acquire this mutex, which may lead to eventlog corruption on the following interleaving:
- `startEventLogging` writes the new `EventLogWriter` to `event_log_writer`.
- `flushEventLog` flushes some events to `event_log_writer`.
- `startEventLogging` writes the eventlog header to `event_log_writer`.
This causes the eventlog to be written out in an unreadable state, with one or more events preceding the eventlog header.
This commit renames the old function to `flushEventLog_` and defines `flushEventLog` simply as:
```c
void flushEventLog(Capability **cap USED_IF_THREADS)
{
ACQUIRE_LOCK(&state_change_mutex);
flushEventLog_(cap);
RELEASE_LOCK(&state_change_mutex);
}
```
The old function is still needed internally within the compilation unit, where it is used in `endEventLogging` in a context where the `state_change` mutex has already been acquired. I've chosen to mark `flushEventLog_` as static and let other uses of `flushEventLog` within the RTS refer to the new version. There is one use in `hs_init_ghc` via `flushTrace`, where the new locking behaviour should be harmless, and one use in `handle_tick`, which I believe was likely vulnerable to the same race condition, so the new locking behaviour is desirable.
I have not added a test. The behaviour is highly non-deterministic and requires a program that concurrently calls `flushEventLog` and `startEventLogging`/`endEventLogging`. I encountered the issue while developing `eventlog-socket` and within that context have verified that my patch likely addresses the issue: a test that used to fail within the first dozen or so runs now has been running on repeat for several hours.

Fix build with werror on glibc 2.43.
We've been defining `_XOPEN_SOURCE` and `_POSIX_C_SOURCE` to the same
values as defined in glibc prior to 2.43. But in 2.43, glibc changes
them to new values, which means we get a warning when redefining them.
By `#undef`ing them first, we no longer get a warning.

Extend HsExpr with the StarIsType syntax (#26587, #26967)
This patch allows kinds of the form `k -> *` and `* -> k` to occur in
expression syntax, i.e. to be used as required type arguments.
For example:
{-# LANGUAGE RequiredTypeArguments, StarIsType #-}
x1 = f (* -> * -> *)
x2 = f (forall k. k -> *)
x3 = f ((* -> *) -> Constraint)
Summary of the changes:
* Introduce the HsStar constructor of HsExpr and its extension field XStar.
It is analogous to HsStarTy in HsType.
* Refactor HsStarTy to store the unicode flag as TokStar, defined as
type TokStar = EpUniToken "*" "★" -- similar to TokForall, TokRArrow, etc.
The token is stored in the extension field and replaces the Bool field.
* Extend the `infixexp2` nonterminal to parse `*` as a direct argument of `->`.
This is more limited than the full StarIsType syntax, but has the nice
property of not conflicting with the multiplication operator `a * b`.

STM: don't create a transaction in the rhs of catchRetry# (#26028)
We don't need to create a transaction for the rhs of (catchRetry#)
because contrary to the lhs we don't need to abort it on retry. Moreover
it is particularly harmful if we have code such as (#26028):
let cN = readTVar vN >> retry
tree = c1 `orElse` (c2 `orElse` (c3 `orElse` ...))
atomically tree
Because it will stack transactions for the rhss and the read-sets of all
the transactions will be iteratively merged in O(n^2) after the
execution of the most nested retry.
This is the second attempt at implementing this. The first attempt
triggered segfaults (#26291) and has been reverted.

Windows: remove StgAsyncIOResult and fix crash/leaks
In stg_block_async{_void}, a stack slot was reserved for
an StgAsyncIOResult. This slot would be filled by the IO
manager upon completion of the async call.
However, if the blocked thread was interrupted by an async
exception, we would end up in an invalid state:
- If the blocked computation was never re-entered, the
StgAsyncIOResult would never be freed.
- If the blocked computation was re-entered, the thread would
find an unitialized stack slot for the StgAsyncIOResult,
leading to a crash reading its fields, or freeing the pointer.
We fix this by removing the StgAsyncIOResult altogether and writing
the result directly to the stack.

Fix several oversights in hsExprType
This commit fixes several oversights in GHC.Hs.Syn.Type.hsExprType:
- The 'RecordCon' case was returning the type of the constructor,
instead of the constructor application. This is fixed by using
'splitFunTys'.
- The 'ExplicitTuple' case failed to take into account tuple sections,
and was also incorrectly handling 1-tuples (e.g. 'Solo') which can
be constructed using Template Haskell.
- The 'NegApp' case was returning the type of the negation operator,
again failing to apply it to the argument. Fixed by using
'funResultTy'.
- The 'HsProc' case was computing the result type of the arrow proc
block, without taking into account the argument type. Fix that by
adding a new field to 'CmdTopTc' that stores the arrow type, so that
we can construct the correct result type `arr a b` for
`proc (pat :: a) -> (cmd :: b)`.
- The 'ArithSeq' and 'NegApp' cases were failing to take into account
the result 'HsWrapper', which could e.g. silently drop casts.
This is fixed by introducing 'syntaxExpr_wrappedFunResTy' which, on
top of taking the result type, applies the result 'HsWrapper'.
These fixes are validated by the new GHC API test T26910.

Infix holes in types (#11107)
This patch introduces several improvements that follow naturally from
refactoring HsOpTy to represent the operator as an HsType, aligning it
with the approach taken by OpApp and HsExpr.
User-facing changes:
1. Infix holes (t1 `_` t2) are now permitted in types, following the
precedent set by term-level expressions.
Test case: T11107
2. Error messages for illegal promotion ticks are now reported at more
precise source locations.
Test case: T17865
Internal changes:
* The definition of HsOpTy now mirrors that of OpApp:
| HsOpTy (XOpTy p) (LHsType p) (LHsType p) (LHsType p)
| OpApp (XOpApp p) (LHsExpr p) (LHsExpr p) (LHsExpr p)
This moves us one step closer to unifying HsType and HsExpr.
* Ignoring locations,
the old pattern match (HsOpTy x prom lhs op rhs)
is now written as (HsOpTy x lhs (HsTyVar x' prom op) rhs)
but we also handle (HsOpTy x lhs (HsWildCardTy x') rhs)
Constructors other than HsTyVar and HsWildCardTy never appear
in the operator position.
* The various definitions across the compiler have been updated to work
with the new representation, drawing inspiration from the term-level
pipeline where appropriate. For example,
ppr_infix_ty <=> ppr_infix_expr
get_tyop <=> get_op
lookupTypeFixityRn <=> lookupExprFixityRn
(the latter is factored out from rnExpr)

Status check for the HsType~HsExpr refactoring (#25121)
Add a test case to track the status of a refactoring project within GHC
whose goal is to arrive at the following declaration:
type HsType = HsExpr
The rationale for this is to increase code reuse between the term- and
type-level code in the compiler front-end (AST, parser, renamer, type checker).
The status report is saved to testsuite/tests/ghc-api/T25121_status.stdout
and provides useful insights into what needs to happen to make progress on
the ticket.

Record `LinkableUsage` instead of `Linkable` in `LoaderState`
Retaining a ByteCode `Linkable` after it has been loaded retains its
`UnlinkedBCO`, keeping it alive for the remainder of the program.
This starts accumulating a lot of `UnlinkedBCO` and memory over time.
However, the `Linkable` is merely used to later record its usage in
`mkObjectUsage`, which is used for recompilation checking.
However, this is incorrect, as the interface file and bytecode objects
could be in different states, e.g. the interface changes, but the
bytecode library hasn't changed so we don't need to recompile and vice
versa.
By computing a `Fingerprint` for the `ModuleByteCode`, and recording it
in the `LinkableUsage`, we know precisely whether the `ByteCode` object
on disk is outdated.
Thus, parts of this commit just makes sure that we efficiently compute a
`Fingerprint` for `ModuleByteCode` and store it in the on-disk
representation of `ModuleByteCode`.
We change the `LoaderState` to retain `LinkableUsage`, which is smaller
representation of a `Linkable`. This allows us to free the unneeded
fields of `Linkable` after linking them.
We declare the following memory invariants that this commit implements:
* No `LinkablePart` should be retained from `LoaderState`.
* `Linkable`s should be unloaded after they have been loaded.
These invariants are unfortunately tricky to automatically uphold, so we
are simply documenting our assumptions for now.
We introduce the `linkable-space` test which makes sure that after
loading, no `DotGBC` or `UnlinkedBCO` is retained.
-------------------------
Metric Increase:
MultiLayerModulesTH_OneShot
-------------------------
We allocate a bit more, but the peak number of bytes doesn't change.
While a bit unfortunate, accepting the metric increase.
We add multiple new performance measurements where we were able to
observe the desired memory invariants. Further, we add regression tests
to validate that the recompilation checker behaves more correct than
before.

Remove signal-based ticker implementations
Fixes issue #27073
All supported platforms should work with the pthreads + nanosleep based
ticker implementation. This avoids all the problems with using signals.
In practice, all supported platforms were probably using the non-signal
tickers already, which is probably why we do not get lots of reports
about deadlocks and other weirdness: we were definately using functions
that are not async signal safe in the tick handler (such as fflush to
flussh the eventlog).
Only Solaris was explicitly using the timer_create ticker impl, and even
Solaris could probably use the pthreads one (if anyone cared: Solaris is
no longer a Teir 3 supported platform).
Plausibly the only supported platform that this will change will be AIX,
which should now use the pthreads impl.

Streamline expansions using HsExpansion (#25001)
Notes added [Error Context Stack] [Typechecking by expansion: overview]
Notes updated Note [Expanding HsDo with XXExprGhcRn] [tcApp: typechecking applications]
-------------------------
Metric Decrease:
T9020
-------------------------
There are 2 key changes:
1. `HsExpand` datatype mediates between expansions
2. Replace `ErrCtxtM` to a simpler `HsCtxt` that does not depend on a `TidyEnv`
This has some consequences detailed below:
1. `HsExpand` datatype mediates between expansions
* Simplifies the implementations of `tcExpr` to work on `XExpr`
* Removes `VACtxt` (and its associated `VAExpansion` and `VACall`) datatype, it is subsumed by simply a `SrcSpan`.
* Removes the function `addHeadCtxt` as it is now mearly setting a location
* The function `tcValArgs` does its own argument number management
* move `splitHsTypes` out of `tcApp`
* Removes special case of tcBody from `tcLambdaMatches`
* Removes special case of `dsExpr` for `ExpandedThingTc`
* Renames `tcMonoExpr` -> `tcMonoLExpr`, `tcMonoExprNC` -> `tcMonoLExpr`
* Renames `EValArg`, `EValArgQL` fields: `ea_ctxt` -> `ea_loc_span` and `eaql_ctx` -> `eaql_loc_span`
* Remove `PopErrCtxt` from `XXExprGhcRn`
* `fun_orig` in tcInstFun depends on the SrcSpan of the head of the application chain (similar to addArgCtxt)
- it references the application chain head if it is user located, or
uses the error context stack as a fallback if it's a generated
location
* Make a new variant `GeneratedSrcSpan` in `SrcSpan` for HIEAst Nodes
- Expressions wrapped around `GeneratedSrcSpan` are ignored and never added to the error context stack
- In Explicit list expansion `fromListN` is wrapped with a `GeneratedSrcSpan` with `GeneratedSrcSpanDetails` field to store the original srcspan
2. Replace `ErrCtxtM` to a simpler `HsCtxt` that does not depend on a `TidyEnv`
* Merge `HsThingRn` to `HsCtxt`
* Landmark Error messages are now just computed on the fly
* Make HsExpandedRn and HsExpandedTc payload a located HsExpr GhcRn
* `HsCtxt` are tidied and zonked at the end right before printing

Refactor eta-expansion in Prep
The Prep pass does eta-expansion but I found cases where it was
doing bad things. So I refactored and simplified it quite a bit.
In the new design
* There is no distinction between `rhs` and `body`; in particular,
lambdas can now appear anywhere, rather than just as the RHS of
a let-binding.
* This change led to a significant simplification of Prep, and
a more straightforward explanation of eta-expansion. See the new
Note [Eta expansion]
* The consequences is that CoreToStg needs to handle naked lambdas.
This is very easy; but it does need a unique supply, which forces
some simple refactoring. Having a unique supply to hand is probably
a good thing anyway.

Make inlining a bit more eager for overloaded functions
If we have

we should be eager to inline `f`, because that may change the

known function.

Add more canned GC functions for common register patterns (#27142)
Based on analysis of heap-check sites across the GHC compiler and Cabal,
the following patterns were not covered by existing canned GC functions
but occurred frequently enough to warrant specialisation:
stg_gc_ppppp -- 5 GC pointers
stg_gc_ip -- unboxed word + GC pointer
stg_gc_pi -- GC pointer + unboxed word
stg_gc_ii -- two unboxed words
stg_gc_bpp -- byte (I8) + two GC pointers
Adding these reduces the fraction of heap-check sites falling back to
the generic GC path from ~1.4% to ~0.4% when compiling GHC itself.

Major refactor of free-variable functions
For some time we have had two free-variable mechanims for types:
* The "FV" mechanism, embodied in GHC.Utils.FV, which worked OK, but
was fragile where eta-expansion was concerned.
* The TyCoFolder mechanism, using a one-shot EndoOS accumulator
I finally got tired of this and refactored the whole thing, thereby
addressing #27080. Now we have
* `GHC.Types.Var.FV`, which has a composable free-variable result type,
very much in the spirit of the old `FV`, but much more robust.
(It uses the "one shot trick".)
* GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs now has just one technology for free variables.
All this led to a lot of renaming.
There are couple of error-message changes. The change in T18451
makes an already-poor error message even more mysterious. But
it really needs a separate look.
We also now traverse the AST in a different order leading to a different
but still deterministic order for FVs and test output has been adjusted
accordingly.

packaging: correctly propagate build/host/target to bindist configure script
At the moment the host and target which we will produce a compiler for
is fixed at the initial configure time. Therefore we need to persist
the choice made at this time into the installation bindist as well so we
look for the right tools, with the right prefixes at install time.
In the future, we want to provide a bit more control about what kind of
bindist we produce so the logic about what the host/target will have to
be written by hadrian rather than persisted by the configure script. In
particular with cross compilers we want to either build a normal stage 2
cross bindist or a stage 3 bindist, which creates a bindist which has a
native compiler for the target platform.

Implement modifiers syntax.
The `%m` syntax of linear types is now accepted in more places, to allow
use by future extensions, though so far linear types is still the only
consumer.
This may break existing code where it
* Uses -XLinearTypes.
* Has code of the form `a %m -> b`, where `m` can't be inferred to be
kind Multiplicity.
The code can be fixed either by adding a kind annotation, or by setting
`-XLinearTypes -XNoModifiers`.

hadrian: Don't include the package hash in the haddock directory
Since GHC 9.8 and hash_unit_ids, haddock urls have looked like`ghc-9.10.3/doc/html/libraries/base-4.20.2.0-39f9/**/*.html`
The inclusion of the hash makes it hard for downstream non-boot packages to properly link to these files, as the hash is not
part of a standard cabal substitution.
Since we only build one version of each package, we don't need the hash to disambiguate anything, we can just remove it.

Use upsert for non-deleting map updates
Some compiler functions were using `alter`, despite never removing
any entries: they only update an existing entry or insert a new one.
These functions are converted to using `upsert`:
alter :: (Maybe a -> Maybe a) -> Key -> Map a -> Map a
upsert :: (Maybe a -> a) -> Key -> Map a -> Map a
`upsert` variants are also added to APIs of the various Word64Map
wrapper types.
The precedent for this `upsert` operation is in the containers library:

Allocate static constructors for bytecode
This commit adds support for static constructors when compiling and
linking ByteCode objects.
Top-level StgRhsCon get lowered to ProtoStaticCons rather than to
ProtoBCOs. A ProtoStaticCon gets allocated directly as a data con
application on the heap (using the new primop newConApp#).
Previously, we would allocate a ProtoBCO which, when evaluated, would
PACK and return the constructor.
A few more details are given in Note [Static constructors in Bytecode].
Secondly, this commit also fixes issue #25636 which was caused by
linking *unlifted* constructors in BCO instructions as
- (1) a thunk indexing the array of BCOs in a module
- (2) which evaluated to a BCO which still had to be evaluated to
return the unlifted constructor proper.
The (2) issue has been resolved by allocating the static constructors
directly. The (1) issue can be resolved by ensuring that we allocate all
unlifted top-level constructors eagerly, and leave the knot-tying for
the lifted BCOs and top-level constructors only.
The top-level unlifted constructors are never mutually recursive, so we
can allocate them all in one go as long as we do it in topological
order. Lifted fields of unlifted constructors can still be filled by the
knot-tied lifted variables since in those fields it is fine to keep
those thunks. See Note [Tying the knot in createBCOs] for more details.

test: Validate topoSort logic in createBCOs
This test validates that the topological sorting and ordering of the
unlifted constructors and lifted constructors in `createBCOs` is
correct.
See `Note [Tying the knot in createBCOs]` for why tying the knot for the
created BCOs is slightly difficult and why the topological sorting is
necessary.
This test fails when `let topoSortedObjs = topSortObjs objs` is
substituted by `let topoSortedObjs = zip [0..] objs`, thus witnessing
the toposort logic is correct and necessary.
The test calls the ghci `createBCOs` directly because it is currently
impossible to construct in Source Haskell a situation where a top-level
static unlifted constructor depends on another (we don't have top-level
unlifted constructors except for nullary constructors like `Leaf ::
(UTree :: UnliftedType)`).
This is another test for fix for #25636

Simplify mkTick
This commit simplifies 'GHC.Core.Utils.mkTick', removing the
accumulating parameter 'rest' which was suspiciously treating a bunch of
different ticks as a group, and moving the group as a whole around the
AST, ignoring that the ticks in the group might have different placement
properties.
The most important change is that we revert the logic (added in 85b0aae2)
that allowed ticks to be placed around coercions, which caused serious
issues (e.g. #27121). It was just a mistake, as it doesn't make sense
to put a tick around a coercion.
Also adds Note [Pushing SCCs inwards] which clarifies the logic for
pushing SCCs into lambdas, constructor applications, and dropping SCCs
around non-function variables (in particular the treatment of splittable
ticks).
A few other changes are also implemented:
- simplify 'can_split' predicate (no functional change)
- combine profiling ticks into one when possible

Deal with 'noSpec' in 'coreExprToPmLit'
This commit makes two separate changes relating to
'GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.Types.coreExprAsPmLit':
1. Commit 7124e4ad mistakenly marked deferred errors as non-canonical,
which led to the introduction of 'nospec' wrappers in the
generated Core. This reverts that accident by declaring deferred
errors as being canonical, avoiding spurious 'nospec' wrapping.
2. Look through magic identity-like Ids such as 'nospec', 'inline' and
'lazy' in 'coreExprAsPmLit', just like Core Prep does.
There might genuinely be incoherent evidence, but that shouldn't
obstruct the pattern match checker. See test T27124a.

Migrate `ghc-pkg` to use `OsPath` and `file-io`
`ghc-pkg` should use UNC paths as much as possible to avoid MAX_PATH
issues on windows.
`file-io` uses UNC Paths by default on windows, ensuring we use the
correct APIs and that we finally are no longer plagued by MAX_PATH
issues in CI and private machines.
On top of it, the higher correctness of `OsPath` is appreciated in this
small codebase. Also, we improve memory usage very slightly, due to the
more efficient memory representation of `OsPath` over `FilePath`
Adds `ghc-pkg` regression test for MAX_PATH on windows
Make sure `ghc-pkg` behaves as expected when long paths (> 255) are
involved on windows.
Let's generate a testcase where we can actually observe that `ghc-pkg`
behaves as epxected.

Kill off the substitution in Lint

* Running a type substitution after the desugarer.
