<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Bump exceptions submodule so that dist-boot is .gitignore'd
`exceptions` is a stage-0 boot library as of commit
30272412fa437ab8e7a8035db94a278e10513413, which means that building
`exceptions` in a GHC tree will generate a `dist-boot` directory.
However, this directory was not specified in `exceptions`'
`.gitignore` file, which causes it to dirty up the current `git`
working directory.
Accordingly, this bumps the `exceptions` submodule to commit
ghc/packages/exceptions@23c0b8a50d7592af37ca09beeec16b93080df98f,
which adds `dist-boot` to the `.gitignore` file.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Pack some of IdInfo fields into a bit field
This reduces residency of compiler quite a bit on some programs.
Example stats when building T10370:
Before:
2,871,242,832 bytes allocated in the heap
4,693,328,008 bytes copied during GC
33,941,448 bytes maximum residency (276 sample(s))
375,976 bytes maximum slop
83 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
After:
2,858,897,344 bytes allocated in the heap
4,629,255,440 bytes copied during GC
32,616,624 bytes maximum residency (278 sample(s))
314,400 bytes maximum slop
80 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
So -3.9% residency, -1.3% bytes copied and -0.4% allocations.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">CprAnal: Don't attach CPR sigs to expandable bindings (#18154)
Instead, look through expandable unfoldings in `cprTransform`.
See the new Note [CPR for expandable unfoldings]:
```
Long static data structures (whether top-level or not) like
xs = x1 : xs1
xs1 = x2 : xs2
xs2 = x3 : xs3
should not get CPR signatures, because they
* Never get WW'd, so their CPR signature should be irrelevant after analysis
(in fact the signature might even be harmful for that reason)
* Would need to be inlined/expanded to see their constructed product
* Recording CPR on them blows up interface file sizes and is redundant with
their unfolding. In case of Nested CPR, this blow-up can be quadratic!
But we can't just stop giving DataCon application bindings the CPR property,
for example
fac 0 = 1
fac n = n * fac (n-1)
fac certainly has the CPR property and should be WW'd! But FloatOut will
transform the first clause to
lvl = 1
fac 0 = lvl
If lvl doesn't have the CPR property, fac won't either. But lvl doesn't have a
CPR signature to extrapolate into a CPR transformer ('cprTransform'). So
instead we keep on cprAnal'ing through *expandable* unfoldings for these arity
0 bindings via 'cprExpandUnfolding_maybe'.
In practice, GHC generates a lot of (nested) TyCon and KindRep bindings, one
for each data declaration. It's wasteful to attach CPR signatures to each of
them (and intractable in case of Nested CPR).
```
Fixes #18154.

This implements chunks (2) and (3) of
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16762#note_270170. Namely,
it introduces a dedicated `HsPatSigType` AST type, which represents
the types that can appear in pattern signatures and term-level `RULE`
binders. Previously, these were represented with `LHsSigWcType`.
Although `LHsSigWcType` is isomorphic to `HsPatSigType`, the intended
semantics of the two types are slightly different, as evidenced by
the fact that they have different code paths in the renamer and
typechecker.

`GHC.Hs.Types`.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">DmdAnal: Improve handling of precise exceptions
This patch does two things: Fix possible unsoundness in what was called
the "IO hack" and implement part 2.1 of the "fixing precise exceptions"
plan in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/fixing-precise-exceptions,
which, in combination with !2956, supersedes !3014 and !2525.
**IO hack**
The "IO hack" (which is a fallback to preserve precise exceptions
semantics and thus soundness, rather than some smart thing that
increases precision) is called `exprMayThrowPreciseException` now.
I came up with two testcases exemplifying possible unsoundness (if
twisted enough) in the old approach:
- `T13380d`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when resorting
to manual state token threading and direct use of primops.
More details below.
- `T13380e`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when we have
Nested CPR. Not currently relevant, as we don't have Nested
CPR yet.
- `T13380f`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" for safe FFI
calls.
Basically, the IO hack assumed that precise exceptions can only be
thrown from a case scrutinee of type `(# State# RealWorld, _ #)`. I
couldn't come up with a program using the `IO` abstraction that violates
this assumption. But it's easy to do so via manual state token threading
and direct use of primops, see `T13380d`. Also similar code might be
generated by Nested CPR in the (hopefully not too) distant future, see
`T13380e`. Hence, we now have a more careful test in `forcesRealWorld`
that passes `T13380{d,e}` (and will hopefully be robust to Nested CPR).
**Precise exceptions**
In #13380 and #17676 we saw that we didn't preserve precise exception
semantics in demand analysis. We fixed that with minimal changes in
!2956, but that was terribly unprincipled.
That unprincipledness resulted in a loss of precision, which is tracked
by these new test cases:
- `T13380b`: Regression in dead code elimination, because !2956 was too
syntactic about `raiseIO#`
- `T13380c`: No need to apply the "IO hack" when the IO action may not
throw a precise exception (and the existing IO hack doesn't
detect that)
Fixing both issues in !3014 turned out to be too complicated and had
the potential to regress in the future. Hence we decided to only fix
`T13380b` and augment the `Divergence` lattice with a new middle-layer
element, `ExnOrDiv`, which means either `Diverges` (, throws an
imprecise exception) or throws a *precise* exception.
See the wiki page on Step 2.1 for more implementational details:

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Explicit Specificity
Implementation for Ticket #16393.
Explicit specificity allows users to manually create inferred type variables,
by marking them with braces.
This way, the user determines which variables can be instantiated through
visible type application.
The additional syntax is included in the parser, allowing users to write
braces in type variable binders (type signatures, data constructors etc).
This information is passed along through the renamer and verified in the
type checker.
The AST for type variable binders, data constructors, pattern synonyms,
partial signatures and Template Haskell has been updated to include the
specificity of type variables.
Minor notes:
- Bumps haddock submodule
- Disables pattern match checking in GHC.Iface.Type with GHC 8.8

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor linear reg alloc to remember past assignments.
When assigning registers we now first try registers we
assigned to in the past, instead of picking the "first"
one.
This is in extremely helpful when dealing with loops for
which variables are dead for part of the loop.
This is important for patterns like this:
foo = arg1
loop:
use(foo)
...
foo = getVal()
goto loop;
There we:
* assign foo to the register of arg1.
* use foo, it's dead after this use as it's overwritten after.
* do other things.
* look for a register to put foo in.
If we pick an arbitrary one it might differ from the register the
start of the loop expect's foo to be in.
To fix this we simply look for past register assignments for
the given variable. If we find one and the register is free we
use that register.
This reduces the need for fixup blocks which match the register
assignment between blocks. In the example above between the end
and the head of the loop.
This patch also moves branch weight estimation ahead of register
allocation and adds a flag to control it (cmm-static-pred).
* It means the linear allocator is more likely to assign the hotter
code paths first.
* If it assign these first we are:
+ Less likely to spill on the hot path.
+ Less likely to introduce fixup blocks on the hot path.
These two measure combined are surprisingly effective. Based on nofib
we get in the mean:
* -0.9% instructions executed
* -0.1% reads/writes
* -0.2% code size.
* -0.1% compiler allocations.
* -0.9% compile time.
* -0.8% runtime.
Most of the benefits are simply a result of removing redundant moves
and spills.
Reduced compiler allocations likely are the result of less code being
generated. (The added lookup is mostly non-allocating).

In #18053 we ended up with a suboptimal code layout because
the code layout algorithm didn't distinguish between conditional
and unconditional control flow.
We can completely eliminate unconditional control flow instructions
by placing blocks next to each other, not so much for conditionals.
In terms of implementation we simply give conditional branches less
weight before computing the layout.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make `Int`'s `mod` and `rem` strict in their first arguments
They used to be strict until 4d2ac2d (9 years ago).
It's obviously better to be strict for performance reasons.
It also blocks #18067.
NoFib results:
```
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program Allocs Instrs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
integer -1.1% +0.4%
wheel-sieve2 +21.2% +20.7%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Min -1.1% -0.0%
Max +21.2% +20.7%
Geometric Mean +0.2% +0.2%
```
The regression in `wheel-sieve2` is due to reboxing that likely will go
away with the resolution of #18067. See !3282 for details.
Fixes #18187.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't variable-length encode magic iface constant.
We changed to use variable length encodings for many types by default,
including Word32. This makes sense for numbers but not when Word32 is
meant to represent four bytes.
I added a FixedLengthEncoding newtype to Binary who's instances
interpret their argument as a collection of bytes instead of a number.
We then use this when writing/reading magic numbers to the iface file.
I also took the libery to remove the dummy iface field.
This fixes #18180.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Simple subsumption
This patch simplifies GHC to use simple subsumption.
Ticket #17775
Implements GHC proposal #287
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/
proposals/0287-simplify-subsumption.rst
All the motivation is described there; I will not repeat it here.
The implementation payload:
* tcSubType and friends become noticably simpler, because it no
longer uses eta-expansion when checking subsumption.
* No deeplyInstantiate or deeplySkolemise
That in turn means that some tests fail, by design; they can all
be fixed by eta expansion. There is a list of such changes below.
Implementing the patch led me into a variety of sticky corners, so
the patch includes several othe changes, some quite significant:
* I made String wired-in, so that
"foo" :: String rather than
"foo" :: [Char]
This improves error messages, and fixes #15679
* The pattern match checker relies on knowing about in-scope equality
constraints, andd adds them to the desugarer's environment using
addTyCsDs. But the co_fn in a FunBind was missed, and for some reason
simple-subsumption ends up with dictionaries there. So I added a
call to addTyCsDs. This is really part of #18049.
* I moved the ic_telescope field out of Implication and into
ForAllSkol instead. This is a nice win; just expresses the code
much better.
* There was a bug in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.tcDataFamInstHeader.
We called checkDataKindSig inside tc_kind_sig, /before/
solveEqualities and zonking. Obviously wrong, easily fixed.
* solveLocalEqualitiesX: there was a whole mess in here, around
failing fast enough. I discovered a bad latent bug where we
could successfully kind-check a type signature, and use it,
but have unsolved constraints that could fill in coercion
holes in that signature -- aargh.
It's all explained in Note [Failure in local type signatures]
in GHC.Tc.Solver. Much better now.
* I fixed a serious bug in anonymous type holes. IN
f :: Int -> (forall a. a -> _) -> Int
that "_" should be a unification variable at the /outer/
level; it cannot be instantiated to 'a'. This was plain
wrong. New fields mode_lvl and mode_holes in TcTyMode,
and auxiliary data type GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.HoleMode.
This fixes #16292, but makes no progress towards the more
ambitious #16082
* I got sucked into an enormous refactoring of the reporting of
equality errors in GHC.Tc.Errors, especially in
mkEqErr1
mkTyVarEqErr
misMatchMsg
misMatchMsgOrCND
In particular, the very tricky mkExpectedActualMsg function
is gone.
It took me a full day. But the result is far easier to understand.
(Still not easy!) This led to various minor improvements in error
output, and an enormous number of test-case error wibbles.
One particular point: for occurs-check errors I now just say
Can't match 'a' against '[a]'
rather than using the intimidating language of "occurs check".
* Pretty-printing AbsBinds
Tests review
* Eta expansions
T11305: one eta expansion
T12082: one eta expansion (undefined)
T13585a: one eta expansion
T3102: one eta expansion
T3692: two eta expansions (tricky)
T2239: two eta expansions

determ004: two eta expansions (undefined)
annfail06: two eta (undefined)
T17923: four eta expansions (a strange program indeed!)
tcrun035: one eta expansion
* Ambiguity check at higher rank. Now that we have simple
subsumption, a type like
f :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int
is no longer ambiguous, because we could write
g :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int
g = f
and it'd typecheck just fine. But f's type is a bit
suspicious, and we might want to consider making the
ambiguity check do a check on each sub-term. Meanwhile,
these tests are accepted, whereas they were previously
rejected as ambiguous:
T7220a
T15438
T10503
T9222
* Some more interesting error message wibbles
T13381: Fine: one error (Int ~ Exp Int)
rather than two (Int ~ Exp Int, Exp Int ~ Int)
T9834: Small change in error (improvement)
T10619: Improved

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">First draft of Quick Look impredicativity
This patch implements Quick Look impredicativity
(see #18126).
The main action in is in the new module GHC.Tc.Gen.App, which
deals with typechecking function applications. Much code has
moved from Tc.Gen.Expr into Tc.Gen.App, but Tc.Gen.App also
includes the new Quick Look code: see the function quickLook.
Not properly tested yet -- this is just so you can see what
I'm up to.
