This commit builds on #65501 continue to simplify the build system and
compiler now that we no longer have multiple LLVM backends to ship by
default. Here this switches the compiler back to what it once was long
long ago, which is linking LLVM directly to the compiler rather than
dynamically loading it at runtime. The `codegen-backends` directory of
the sysroot no longer exists and all relevant support in the build
system is removed. Note that `rustc` still supports a dynamically loaded
codegen backend as it did previously, it just no longer supports
dynamically loaded codegen backends in its own sysroot.
Additionally as part of this the `librustc_codegen_llvm` crate now once
again explicitly depends on all of its crates instead of implicitly
loading them through the sysroot. This involved filling out its
`Cargo.toml` and deleting all the now-unnecessary `extern crate`
annotations in the header of the crate. (this in turn required adding a
number of imports for names of macros too).
The end results of this change are:
* Rustbuild's build process for the compiler as all the "oh don't forget
the codegen backend" checks can be easily removed.
* Building `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since it's simply
another compiler crate.
* Managing the dependencies of `rustc_codegen_llvm` is much simpler since
it's "just another `Cargo.toml` to edit"
* The build process should be a smidge faster because there's more
parallelism in the main rustc build step rather than splitting
`librustc_codegen_llvm` out to its own step.
* The compiler is expected to be slightly faster by default because the
codegen backend does not need to be dynamically loaded.
* Disabling LLVM as part of rustbuild is still supported, supporting
multiple codegen backends is still supported, and dynamic loading of a
codegen backend is still supported.
In #56986 the linkage of jemalloc to the compiler was switched from the
driver library to the rustc binary to ensure that only rustc itself uses
jemalloc. In doing so, however, it turns out jemalloc wasn't actually
linked in at all! None of the symbols were referenced so the static
library wasn't used. This means that jemalloc wasn't pulled in at all.
This commit performs a bit of a dance to reference jemalloc symbols,
attempting to pull it in despite LLVM's optimizations.
Closes#57115
This commit moves jemalloc to just the rustc binary rather than the
rustc_driver shared library, enusring that it's only used for binaries
that opt-in to it like rustc rather than other binaries using
librustc_driver like rustdoc/rls/etc. This will hopefully address #56980
This commit adds opt-in support to the compiler to link to `jemalloc` in
the compiler. When activated the compiler will depend on `jemalloc-sys`,
instruct jemalloc to unprefix its symbols, and then link to it. The
feature is activated by default on Linux/OSX compilers for x86_64/i686
platforms, and it's not enabled anywhere else for now. We may be able to
opt-in other platforms in the future! Also note that the opt-in only
happens on CI, it's otherwise unconditionally turned off by default.
Closes#36963
This commit removes all jemalloc related submodules, configuration, etc,
from the bootstrap, from the standard library, and from the compiler.
This will be followed up with a change to use jemalloc specifically as
part of rustc on blessed platforms.
In #49289, rustc was changed to emit metadata for binaries, which made
it so that the librustc.rmeta file created when compiling librustc was
overwritten by the rustc-main compilation. This commit renames the
rustc-main binary to avoid this problem.
https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/5524 has also been filed to
see if Cargo can learn to warn on this situation instead of leaving it
for the user to debug.
Building on the work of # 45684 this commit updates the compiler to
unconditionally load the `rustc_trans` crate at runtime instead of linking to it
at compile time. The end goal of this work is to implement # 46819 where rustc
will have multiple backends available to it to load.
This commit starts off by removing the `extern crate rustc_trans` from the
driver. This involved moving some miscellaneous functionality into the
`TransCrate` trait and also required an implementation of how to locate and load
the trans backend. This ended up being a little tricky because the sysroot isn't
always the right location (for example `--sysroot` arguments) so some extra code
was added as well to probe a directory relative to the current dll (the
rustc_driver dll).
Rustbuild has been updated accordingly as well to have a separate compilation
invocation for the `rustc_trans` crate and assembly it accordingly into the
sysroot. Finally, the distribution logic for the `rustc` package was also
updated to slurp up the trans backends folder.
A number of assorted fallout changes were included here as well to ensure tests
pass and such, and they should all be commented inline.
This commit adds support to rustbuild to run crate unit tests (those defined by
`#[test]`) as well as documentation tests. All tests are powered by `cargo test`
under the hood.
Each step requires the `libtest` library is built for that corresponding stage.
Ideally the `test` crate would be a dev-dependency, but for now it's just easier
to ensure that we sequence everything in the right order.
Currently no filtering is implemented, so there's not actually a method of
testing *only* libstd or *only* libcore, but rather entire swaths of crates are
tested all at once.
A few points of note here are:
* The `coretest` and `collectionstest` crates are just listed as `[[test]]`
entires for `cargo test` to naturally pick up. This mean that `cargo test -p
core` actually runs all the tests for libcore.
* Libraries that aren't tested all mention `test = false` in their `Cargo.toml`
* Crates aren't currently allowed to have dev-dependencies due to
rust-lang/cargo#860, but we can likely alleviate this restriction once
workspaces are implemented.

This commit is the start of a series of commits which start to replace the
makefiles with a Cargo-based build system. The aim is not to remove the
makefiles entirely just yet but rather just replace the portions that invoke the
compiler to do the bootstrap. This commit specifically adds enough support to
perform the bootstrap (and all the cross compilation within) along with
generating documentation.
More commits will follow up in this series to actually wire up the makefiles to
call this build system, so stay tuned!
