Towards #21766 - - - - - cab42666 by Matthew Pickering at 2025-08-07T12:22:42+01:00 ipe: Use stable IDs for IPE entries IPEs have historically been indexed and reported by their address. This makes it impossible to compare profiles between runs, since the addresses may change (due to ASLR) and also makes it tricky to separate out the IPE map from the binary. This small patch adds a stable identifier for each IPE entry. The stable identifier is a single 64 bit word. The high-bits are a per-module identifier and the low bits identify which entry in each module. 1. When a node is added into the IPE buffer it is assigned a unique identifier from an incrementing global counter. 2. Each entry already has an index by it's position in the `IpeBufferListNode`. The two are combined together by the `IPE_ENTRY_KEY` macro. Info table profiling uses the stable identifier rather than the address of the info table. The benefits of this change are: * Profiles from different runs can be easily compared * The metadata can be extracted from the binary (via the eventlog for example) and then stripped from the executable.

So we should not pass them to typechecker plugins! Fixes #26258. This is a fixup to the earlier MR: commit 1bd12371feacc52394a0e660ef9349f9e8ee1c06 Author: Simon Peyton Jones Date: Mon Jul 21 10:04:49 2025 +0100 Improve treatment of SPECIALISE pragmas -- again! - - - - - 2157db2d by sterni at 2025-08-08T15:32:39-04:00 hadrian: enable terminfo if --with-curses-* flags are given The GHC make build system used to support WITH_TERMINFO in ghc.mk which allowed controlling whether to build GHC with terminfo or not. hadrian has replaced this with a system where this is effectively controlled by the cross-compiling setting (the default WITH_TERMINFO value was bassed on CrossCompiling, iirc). This behavior is undesireable in some cases and there is not really a good way to work around it. Especially for downstream packagers, modifying this via UserSettings is not really feasible since such a source file has to be kept in sync with Settings/Default.hs manually since it can't import Settings.Default or any predefined Flavour definitions. To avoid having to add a new setting to cfg/system.config and/or a new configure flag (though I'm happy to implement both if required), I've chosen to take --with-curses-* being set explicitly as an indication that the user wants to have terminfo enabled. This would work for Nixpkgs which sets these flags [1] as well as haskell.nix [2] (which goes to some extreme measures [3] [4] to force terminfo in all scenarios). In general, I'm an advocate for making the GHC build be the same for native and cross insofar it is possible since it makes packaging GHC and Haskell related things while still supporting cross much less compilicated. A more minimal GHC with reduced dependencies should probably be a specific flavor, not the default. Partially addresses #26288 by forcing terminfo to be built if the user explicitly passes configure flags related to it. However, it isn't built by default when cross-compiling yet nor is there an explicit way to control the package being built.
