Improve deep subsumption
This commit improves the DeepSubsumption sub-typing implementation
in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.tc_sub_type_deep by being less eager to fall back
to unification.
For example, we now are properly able to prove the subtyping relationship
((∀ a. a->a) -> Int) -> Bool <= β[tau] Bool
for an unfilled metavariable β. In this case (with an AppTy on the right),
we used to fall back to unification. No longer: now, given that the LHS
is a FunTy and that the RHS is a deep rho type (does not need any instantiation),
we try to make the RHS into a FunTy, viz.
β := (->) γ
We can then continue using covariance & contravariance of the function
arrow, which allows us to prove the subtyping relationship, instead of
trying to unify which would cause us to error out with:
Couldn't match expected type ‘β’ with actual type ‘(->) ((∀ a. a -> a) -> Int)
See Note [FunTy vs non-FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.
The other main improvement in this patch concerns type inference.
The main subsumption logic happens (before & after this patch) in
GHC.Tc.Gen.App.checkResultTy. However, before this patch, all of the
DeepSubsumption logic only kicked in in 'check' mode, not in 'infer' mode.
This patch adds deep instantiation in the 'infer' mode of checkResultTy
when we are doing deep subsumption, which allows us to accept programs
such as:
f :: Int -> (forall a. a->a)
g :: Int -> Bool -> Bool
test1 b =
case b of
True -> f
False -> g
test2 b =
case b of
True -> g
False -> f
See Note [Deeply instantiate in checkResultTy when inferring].
Finally, we add representation-polymorphism checks to ensure that the
lambda abstractions we introduce when doing subsumption obey the
representation polymorphism invariants of Note [Representation polymorphism invariants]
in GHC.Core. See Note [FunTy vs FunTy case in tc_sub_type_deep].
This is accompanied by a courtesy change to `(<.>) :: HsWrapper -> HsWrapper -> HsWrapper`,
adding the equation:
WpCast c1 <.> WpCast c2 = WpCast (c1 `mkTransCo` c2)
This is useful because mkWpFun does not introduce an eta-expansion when
both of the argument & result wrappers are casts; so this change allows
us to avoid introducing lambda abstractions when casts suffice.
Fixes #26225

rts: Clarify rationale for undefined atomic wrappers
Since c06e3f46d24ef69f3a3d794f5f604cb8c2a40cbc the RTS has declared
various atomic operation wrappers defined by ghc-internal as undefined.
While the rationale for this isn't clear from the commit message, I
believe that this is necessary due to the unregisterised backend.
Specifically, the code generator will reference these symbols when
compiling RTS Cmm sources.

Make unexpected LLVM versions a warning rather than an error.
Typically a newer LLVM version *will* work so erroring out if
a user uses a newer LLVM version is too aggressive.

rts: ensure MessageBlackHole.link is always a valid closure
We turn a MessageBlackHole into an StgInd in wakeBlockingQueue().
Therefore it's important that the link field, which becomes the
indirection field, always points to a valid closure.
It's unclear whether it's currently possible for the previous behaviour
to lead to a crash, but it's good to be consistent about this invariant nonetheless.
