Add type family performance test for #26426
Some GHC versions produced large numbers of coercions after typechecking
and desugaring when compiling the program in #26426:
Version | Typechecker time | Typechecker allocations | Coercions
-------:|-----------------:|------------------------:|---------:
9.6 | 47 ms | 48 MB | 110k
9.8 | 1000 ms | 486 MB | 10,437k
9.10 | 922 ms | 489 MB | 10,436k
9.12 | 906 ms | 482 MB | 10,437k
9.14 | 63 ms | 55 MB | 333k
10.0 | 47 ms | 64 MB | 35k
The improvement 9.12 -> 9.14 was due to commit 22d11fa818fae2c95c494fc0fac1f8cb4c6e7cb6,
while the improvement 9.14 -> 10.0 was due to commit 0b7df6db9e46df40e86fbff1a66dc10440b99db5.
As the behaviour of GHC seems better than it's ever been on this program,
we declare victory, adding this performance test to ensure we don't
regress on this program.
On the way, we update Note [Combining equalities] in GHC.Tc.SolveR.Equality
with the explanation of the 9.12 -> 9.14 improvement (getting rid of an
exponential blowup in coercion sizes), and we update
Note [Exploiting closed type families] in GHC.Tc.Solver.FunDeps with
the explanation of the 9.14 -> 10.0 improvement (bringing down coercion
size growth from cubic to quadratic).

Find plugins in sibling home units in multiple-home-unit sessions
In a multiple-home-unit session (e.g. `cabal repl --enable-multi-repl` or HLS), enabling a plugin with -fplugin that is defined in (or reexported by) another home unit failed with a "hidden package" error. The plugin module finder only searched the current home unit and the registered external packages, never the sibling home units.
findPluginModuleNoHsc now searches the home units that the current home unit depends on, following module reexports and respecting hidden modules, exactly as ordinary import resolution does in findImportedModuleNoHsc. To avoid two divergent copies of this logic, the shared home-unit search (the current home unit first, then its dependencies in priority order, with the accompanying ordering invariant) is extracted into findHomeModuleAmongDeps, which both findImportedModuleNoHsc and findPluginModuleNoHsc now call.
Add testsuite/tests/driver/multipleHomeUnits/plugin01, which loads a plugin as byte-code from a sibling home unit, and plugin02, in which the consumer enables a plugin reexported by a sibling home unit without depending on the plugin's own home unit directly.

AArch64: use SXTH, not SXTW, for W32 signExtendReg
signExtendReg was using SXTH (sign-extend halfword, 16-bit) for
W32-to-W64 sign extension. This should be SXTW (sign-extend word,
32-bit). SXTH only sign-extends the lower 16 bits, producing wrong
results for 32-bit values whose bit 15 differs from bit 31.
Other fixes:
- At sub-W64, code gen for MO_S_Mul2 should use W32 registers for
SMULL source operands as per the ARM spec (SMULL Xd, Wn, Wm),
and not W64.
- Ensure signExtendReg uses the source width for the source operand
in SXTW/SXTH/SXTB instructions. GNU as requires sxtw Xd,Wn (not
sxtw Xd,Xn), while LLVM's integrated assembler on macOS is lenient.
- Fix overflow flag computation for `MO_S_Mul2`. The overflow bit
was exactly inverted for sub-W64 operands.

tag inference: don't confuse functions with their return values
inferTagRhs was mixing up taggedness for closures and return values
for function closures. We really shouldn't assign TagTuple to a
properly tagged function returning a tuple.
We fix this by keeping track of functions (TagFun) separately from
values (TagVal) and keeping track of their return value. TagFun is
also used for join points.

Seed the simplifier's in-scope set for open expressions
simplifyExpr simplifies expressions typed at the GHCi prompt and the
results of Template Haskell splices. Such an expression may be open: at a
GHCi debugger breakpoint its free variables include RuntimeUnk skolems
standing for as-yet-unknown types.
The simplifier began with an in-scope set holding only the wildcard
binder, so when it instantiated the unsafeCoerce# wrapper that GHCi
builds around a result, it formed a substitution whose range mentioned a
free skolem that was not in scope. That breaks the substitution invariant
and, in a compiler built with assertions, trips substTy's sanity check.
Seed the initial in-scope set with the free variables of the expression.
For a closed expression this adds nothing.
See Note [Seed the in-scope set for open expressions].
Fixes #17833 and its duplicate #21118.

Desugar a `case` scrutinee only once (#27383, #20251)
In `dsExpr` for `HsCase` we desugared the scrutinee /twice/: once to
build the Core `case` itself, and again inside `matchWrapper`, which
re-desugared the source scrutinee (via `addHsScrutTmCs`) purely to
record long-distance information for the pattern-match checker.
For a single `case` that is merely wasteful. But for nested cases it
is catastrophic. Consider
case (case (case e of ... ) of ... ) of ...
Desugaring the outer scrutinee desugars the middle `case` twice, each
of which desugars the inner `case` twice, and so on. The work doubles
at every level, so desugaring takes O(2^n) time in the nesting depth.
That is the blowup reported in #27383; it is also what makes the
machine-generated program in #20251 take an age to compile.
The fix is simple. `matchWrapper` is handed the scrutinee anyway, so
we give it the Core expression we have /already/ desugared, and record
the long-distance term constraint with `addCoreScrutTmCs` instead of
re-desugaring from source. This is just what `matchSinglePatVar`
already does for single-pattern matches.
So:
* `matchWrapper` now takes `Maybe [CoreExpr]` rather than
`Maybe [LHsExpr GhcTc]`.
* The `HsCase` equation of `dsExpr` passes the already-desugared
`core_discrim`; the arrow desugarer passes its match variables.
* `addHsScrutTmCs` had no other use, so it is gone.
Desugaring is now linear in the nesting depth. (The coverage checker
still runs `simpleOptExpr` over each scrutinee, which leaves the total
at O(n^2); that is ample.) The long-distance information itself is
unchanged: the checker sees precisely the Core that backs the
generated code.

fix: Save FastStrings in the PMC
There is no point in adding the unique to the occurrence FastString we
create, since it is part of the Id anyway.
Adding it to the FastString, meant each FastString was unique
unnecessarily!
In a separate branch, running the compiler on test `InstanceMatching`
observed 30000 `FastString`s created by this code path.
Plus, `fsLit "pm"` follows the existing pattern in `mkPmId`.

hadrian: Build stage 2 cross compilers
* Most of hadrian is abstracted over the stage in order to remove the
assumption that the target of all stages is the same platform. This
allows the RTS to be built for two different targets for example.
* Abstracts the bindist creation logic to allow building either normal
or cross bindists. Normal bindists use stage 1 libraries and a stage 2
compiler. Cross bindists use stage 2 libararies and a stage 2
compiler.
* hadrian: Make binary-dist-dir the default build target. This allows us
to have the logic in one place about which libraries/stages to build
with cross compilers. Fixes #24192
New hadrian target:
* `binary-dist-dir-cross`: Build a cross compiler bindist (compiler =
stage 1, libraries = stage 2)
This commit also contains various changes to make stage2 compilers
feasible.

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.

-

by Duncan Coutts at 2026-07-01T22:29:56+01:00
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.

hadrian: fix HLS support
This patch fixes hadrian's HLS support so one can rely on HLS when

Not building/linking shared libraries for hadrian is a severely
premature optimization; this top-level setting in `cabal.project` only
affects home packages while the dependencies in the cabal store are
built with vanilla/dynamic anyway, and even adding dynamic builds to
home packages would not be costly due to cabal's usage of
`-dynamic-too`.

In the past it worked out of luck: when apply_mask_frame was NULL then
mask_frame_offset is also 0 so the control flow didn't diverge to a
wrong path. Still, this is horribly wrong and will crash once

compiler: fix redundant AP thunk codegen when not using -ticky-ap-thunk
This patch fixes a double negation confusion in !7525 that results in
some redundant AP thunk code generation when not using

whether precomputed AP thunks in the RTS should be used, which
defaults to `True`, unless `-ticky-ap-thunk` is passed.
`-finfo-table-map` now also implies `-ticky-ap-thunk`, since when
doing IPE profiling we want the generated AP thunks to be unique.

base: Display ExceptionContext in WhileHandling's textual description
As originally-implemented the implementation for
`WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` would display the
`ExceptionContext` of the exception which it carries (as this was the
behavior of `displayException`, in terms of which
`displayExceptionAnnotation` was implemented).
However, in 284ffab3 the definition of `SomeException(displayException)`
was changed to exclude the `ExceptionContext`. This means that
`WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` fails to describe the
provenance of the exception which it captures, greatly limiting its
utility.
Return the implementation to its originally-specified behavior by
implementing `WhileHandling(displayExceptionAnnotation)` in terms of
`displayExceptionWithInfo`.

Move THREADED_RTS-conditional struct members to end of Capability
Accessing members of the Capability struct from CMM code rely on
accessor macros. (The macros are generated by deriveConstants).
These macros have a single definition. This means that the offsets of
all struct members must *not* vary based on THREADED_RTS vs
!THREADED_RTS. This requires that any struct members that are
conditional on THREADED_RTS must occur after the unconditional struct
members. Hence we move all the ones that are conditional on
THREADED_RTS to the end.
Add a deriveConstants entry for the iomgr member of the Capability
struct, which was the motivation for this change.
Add warning messages to help our future selves. Debugging this took me
a couple hours in gdb!

Make the IOManager API use CapIOManager rather than Capability
This makes the API somewhat more self-contained and more consistent.
Now the IOManager API and each of the backends takes just the I/O
manager structure. Previously we had a bit of a mixture, depending on
whether the function needed access to the Capability or just the
CapIOManager.
We still need access to the cap, so we introduce a back reference to
reach the capability, via iomgr->cap.
Convert all uses in select and poll backends, but not win32 ones.
Convert callers in the scheduler and elsewhere.
Also convert the three CMM primops that call IOManager APIs. They just
need to use Capability_iomgr(MyCapability()).

Free per-cap I/O managers during shutdown and forkProcess
Historically this was not strictly necessary. The select and win32
legacy I/O managers did not maintain any dynamically allocated
resources. The new poll one does (an auxillary table), and so this
should be freed.
After forkProcess, all threads get deleted. This includes threads
waiting on I/O or timers. So as of this patch, resetting the I/O
manager is just about tidying things up. For example, for the poll
I/O manager this will reset the size of the AIOP table (which
otherwise grows but never shrinks).
In future however the re-initialising will become neeecessary for
functionality, since some I/O managers will need to re-initialise
wakeup fds that are set CLOEXEC.

Remove wakeupIOManager, ioManagerWakeup and setIOManagerWakeupFd
We no longer need wakeupIOManager for the threaded RTS case, so we can
remove it and the bits only needed to support it. This includes the
pipe/eventfd fd shared between the RTS and the in-library I/O manager
used for waking up the I/O manager thread. The pipe/eventfd still
exists, but it no longer has to be communicated to the RTS, since the
RTS no longer needs to use it.
So we remove the RTS API export setIOManagerWakeupFd, and remove uses of
it within the I/O managers in ghc-internal.

Add interruptIOManager support for poll I/O manager
Uses the FdWakup mechanism.
A quirk we have to cope with is that we now need to poll one more fd --
the wakeup_fd_r -- but this fd has no corresponding entry in the
aiop_table. This is awkward since we have set up our aiop_poll_table to
be an auxilliary table with matching indicies.
The solution this patch uses (and described in the comments) is to have
two tables: struct pollfd *aiop_poll_table, *full_poll_table;
and to have the aiop_poll_table alias the tail of the full_poll_table.
The head entry in the full_poll_table is the extra fd. So we poll the
full_poll_table, while the aiop_poll_table still has matching indicies
with the aiop_table.
Hurrah for C aliasing rules.

Note lack of interruptIOManager support for WinIO I/O manager
Though there's a plausible design, we can't sanely test it at the moment
due to related WinIO bugs. Filed as issue #27403.

Make signal handling be a respondibility of the I/O manager(s)
Previously it was scattered between I/O managers and the scheduler, and
especially the scheduler's deadlock detection.
Previously the scheduler would poll for pending signals each iteration
of the scheduler loop. The scheduler also had some hairy signal
functionality in the deadlock detection: in the non-threaded RTS (only)
if there were still no threads running after deadlock detection then it
would block waiting for signals.
But signals can and (in my opinion) should be thought of as just a funny
kind of I/O, and thus should be a responsibility of the I/O manager.
So now we have the I/O managers poll for signals when they are polling
for I/O completion (and removing the separate poll in the scheduler).
And when I/O managers block waiting for I/O then they now also start
signal handlers if they get interrupted by a signal. Crucially, if there
is no pending I/O or timers, the awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO will still
block waiting for signals.
This patch puts us into an intermediate state: it temporarily breaks
deadlock detection in the non-threaded RTS. The waiting on I/O currently
happens before deadlock detection. This means we'll now wait forever on
signals before doing deadlock detection. We need to move waiting after
deadlock detection. We'll do that in a later patch.

Clean up the RTS internal signal handling API
Now that the I/O manager is responsible for signals, we can simplify the
API we present for signal handling.
We now just need startPendingSignalHandlers, which is called from the
I/O managers. We can get rid of awaitUserSignals. We also don't need
RtsSignals.h to re-export the platform-specific posix/Signals.h or
win32/ConsoleHandler.h
We can also hide more of the implementation of signals. Less has to be
exposed in posix/Signals.h or win32/ConsoleHandler.h. Indeed,
posix/Signals.h becomes empty and we remove it. Partly this is because
we don't need inline functions (or macros) in the interface.
Also remove signal_handlers from RTS ABI exported symbols list. It does
not appear to have any users in the core libs, and its really an
internal implementation detail. It should not be exposed unless it's
really necessary.

In the scheduler, move I/O blocking after deadlock detection
To make deadlock detection effective in the non-threaded RTS when there
are deadlocked threads and other unrelated threads waiting on I/O, we
need to arrange to do deadlock detection before we block in scheduler
to wait on I/O.
The solution is to:
1. adjust scheduleFindWork, which runs before deadlock detection, to
only poll for I/O and not block; and
2. add a step after deadlock detection to wait on I/O if there are
still no threads to run (and there's any I/O or timeouts outstanding)
The scheduleCheckBlockedThreads is now so simple that it made more sense
to inline it into scheduleFindWork.

Remove bogus anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO guard from scheduleDetectDeadlock
The deadlock detection was only invoked if both of these conditions
hold:
1. the run queue is empty
2. there is no pending I/O or timeouts
The second condition is unnecessary. The deadlock detection mechanism
can find deadlocks even if there are other threads waiting on I/O or
timers. Having this extra condition means that we fail to detect
blocked threads if there are any threads waiting on I/O or timers.

Don't consider pending I/O for early context switch optimisation
Context switches are normally initiated by the timer signal. If however
the user specifies "context switch as often as possible", with +RTS -C0
then the scheduler arranges for an early context switch (when it's just
about to run a Haskell thread).
Context switching very often is expensive, so as an optimisation there
cases where we do not arrange an early context switch:
1. if there's no other threads to run
2. if there is no pending I/O or timers
This patch eliminates case 2, leaving only case 1.
The rationale is as follows. The use of this was inconsistent across
platforms and threaded/non-threaded RTS ways. It only worked on the
non-threaded RTS and on Windows only worked for the win32-legacy I/O
manager. On all other combinations anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO would always
return false. The fact that nobody noticed and complained about this
inconsistency suggests that the feature is not relied upon.
If however it turns out that applications do rely on this, then the
proper thing to do is not to restore this check, but to add a new I/O
manager hint function that returns if there is any pending events that
are likely to happen *soon*: for example timeouts expiring within one
timeslice, or I/O waits on things likely to complete soon like disk I/O,
but not for example socket/pipe I/O.
The motivation to avoid this use of anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO is to
allow us to eliminate anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO entirely. All other uses
of this are just guards on {await,poll}CompletedTimeoutsOrIO and
the guards can safely be folded into those functions. This will better
cope with some I/O managers having no proper implementation of
anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO.
Ultimately this will let us simplify the scheduler which currently has
to have special #ifdef mingw32_HOST_OS cases to cope with the lack of a
working anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO for some Windows I/O managers

Remove anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO guarding {poll,await}CompletedTimeoutsOrIO
Previously the API of the I/O manager used a two step process: check
anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO and then call {poll,await}CompletedTimeoutsOrIO.
This was primarily there as a performance thing, to cheaply check if we
need to do anything.
And then because anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO existed, it was used for other
things too. We have now eliminated the other uses, and are just left
with the performance pattern.
But this was problematic because not all I/O managers correctly
implement anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO (specifically the win32 ones), and now
that we also make I/O managers responsible for signals then we need to
poll/await even if there is no pending I/O or timeouts. If there is no
pending I/O or timeouts then poll/await needs to degenerate to just
waiting forever for any signals.

Remove anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO, it is no longer used
And this avoids the problems arising from the win32 I/O managers having
had a bogus implementation.

Remove second scheduler call to awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO
Previously awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO was called both before and after
deadlock detection in the scheduler. The reason for that was that the
win32 I/O managers had a bogus implementation of anyPendingTimeoutsOrIO
and this was used to guard the call of awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO prior
to deadlock detection. This meant the first call site was never actually
called when using the win32 I/O managers. This was the reason for the
second call: the first one was never used. What a mess.
So now we have a simple design in the scheduler:
1. poll for completed I/O, timers or signals
2. if no runnable threads: do deadlock detection
3. if still no runnable threads: block waiting for I/O, timers or
signals.

Make non-threaded deadlock detection also rely on idle GC
Only do deadlock detection GC when idle GC kicks in. This also relies on
using wakeUpRts, so now do this unconditionally. Previously wakeUpRts
was for the threaded rts only.

Enable idle GC by default on non-threaded RTS.
The behaviour is now uniform between threaded and non-threaded. The
deadlock detection now relies on idle GC for both threaded and
non-threaded ways. Previously deadlock detection did not rely on idle
GC for the non-threaded way.

Add a long Note [Deadlock detection]
It describes the historical and modern designs and their trade-offs.
The point is we've now unified the code for deadlock detection between
the threaded and non-threaded ways, by changing the non-threaded to
follow the same design as the threaded.
