<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor CLabel pretty-printing
Pretty-printing CLabel relies on sdocWithDynFlags that we want to remove
(#10143, #17957). It uses it to query the backend and the platform.
This patch exposes Clabel ppr functions specialised for each backend so
that backend code can directly use them.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove ConDeclGADTPrefixPs
This removes the `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` per the discussion in #18517.
Most of this patch simply removes code, although the code in the
`rnConDecl` case for `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` had to be moved around a
bit:
* The nested `forall`s check now lives in the `rnConDecl` case for
`ConDeclGADT`.
* The `LinearTypes`-specific code that used to live in the
`rnConDecl` case for `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` now lives in
`GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl`, which is now monadic so that
it can check if `-XLinearTypes` is enabled.
Fixes #18157.

Fixes #18070
GHC_STAGE is the stage of the compiler we're building, it should be 1,2(,3?).
But make was generating 0 and 1.
Hadrian does this correctly using a similar `+ 1`:

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">hadrian: Fix running stage0/bin/ghc with wrong package DB. Fixes #17468.
In the invocation of `cabal configure`, `--ghc-pkg-option=--global-package-db`
was already given correctly to tell `stage0/bin/ghc-pkg` that it should use
the package DB in `stage1/`.
However, `ghc` needs to be given this information as well, not only `ghc-pkg`!
Until now that was not the case; the package DB in `stage0` was given to
`ghc` instead.
This was wrong, because there is no binary compatibility guarantee that says
that the `stage0` DB's `package.cache` (which is written by the
stage0 == system-provided ghc-pkg) can be deserialised by the `ghc-pkg`
from the source code tree.
As a result, when trying to add fields to `InstalledPackageInfo` that get
serialised into / deserialised from the `package.cache`, errors like
_build/stage0/lib/package.conf.d/package.cache: GHC.PackageDb.readPackageDb: inappropriate type (Not a valid Unicode code point!)
would appear. This was because the `stage0/bin/ghc would try to
deserialise the newly added fields from
`_build/stage0/lib/package.conf.d/package.cache`, but they were not in there
because the system `ghc-pkg` doesn't know about them and thus didn't write them
there.
It would try to do that because any GHC by default tries to read the global
package db in `../lib/package.conf.d/package.cache`.
For `stage0/bin/ghc` that *can never work* as explained above, so we
must disable this default via `-no-global-package-db` and give it the
correct package DB explicitly.
This is the same problem as #16534, and the same fix as in MR !780
(but in another context; that one was for developers trying out the
`stage0/bin/ghc` == `_build/ghc-stage1` interactively, while this fix
is for a `cabal configure` invocation).
I also noticed that the fix for #16534 forgot to pass `-no-global-package-db`,
and have fixed that in this commit as well.
It only worked until now because nobody tried to add a new ghc-pkg `.conf`
field since the introduction of Hadrian.

Previously to merge a set of object files we would invoke the linker as
usual, adding -r to the command-line. However, this can result in
non-sensical command-lines which causes lld to balk (#17962).
To avoid this we introduce a new tool setting into GHC, -pgmlm, which is
the linker which we use to merge object files.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make CodeQ and TExpQ levity polymorphic
The patch is quite straightforward. The only tricky part is that
`Language.Haskell.TH.Lib.Internal` now must be `Trustworthy` instead
of `Safe` due to the `GHC.Exts` import (in order to import `TYPE`).
Since `CodeQ` has yet to appear in any released version of
`template-haskell`, I didn't bother mentioning the change to `CodeQ`
in the `template-haskell` release notes.
Fixes #18521.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Grammar for types and data/newtype constructors
Before this patch, we parsed types into a reversed sequence
of operators and operands. For example, (F x y + G a b * X)
would be parsed as [X, *, b, a, G, +, y, x, F],
using a simple grammar:
tyapps
: tyapp
| tyapps tyapp
tyapp
: atype
| PREFIX_AT atype
| tyop
| unpackedness
Then we used a hand-written state machine to assemble this
either into a type, using 'mergeOps',
or into a constructor, using 'mergeDataCon'.
This is due to a syntactic ambiguity:
data T1 a = MkT1 a
data T2 a = Ord a => MkT2 a
In T1, what follows after the = sign is a data/newtype constructor
declaration. However, in T2, what follows is a type (of kind
Constraint). We don't know which of the two we are parsing until we
encounter =>, and we cannot check for => without unlimited lookahead.
This poses a few issues when it comes to e.g. infix operators:
data I1 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char -- bad
data I2 = Int :+ Bool :+ Char => MkI2 -- fine
By this issue alone we are forced into parsing into an intermediate
representation and doing a separate validation pass.
However, should that intermediate representation be as low-level as a
flat sequence of operators and operands?
Before GHC Proposal #229, the answer was Yes, due to some particularly
nasty corner cases:
data T = ! A :+ ! B -- used to be fine, hard to parse
data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT -- bad
However, now the answer is No, as this corner case is gone:
data T = ! A :+ ! B -- bad
data T = ! A :+ ! B => MkT -- bad
This means we can write a proper grammar for types, overloading it in
the DisambECP style, see Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories].
With this patch, we introduce a new class, DisambTD. Just like
DisambECP is used to disambiguate between expressions, commands, and patterns,
DisambTD is used to disambiguate between types and data/newtype constructors.
This way, we get a proper, declarative grammar for constructors and
types:
infixtype
: ftype
| ftype tyop infixtype
| unpackedness infixtype
ftype
: atype
| tyop
| ftype tyarg
| ftype PREFIX_AT tyarg
tyarg
: atype
| unpackedness atype
And having a grammar for types means we are a step closer to using a
single grammar for types and expressions.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Clean up the story around runPV/runECP_P/runECP_PV
This patch started as a small documentation change, an attempt to make
Note [Parser-Validator] and Note [Ambiguous syntactic categories]
more clear and up-to-date.
But it turned out that runECP_P/runECP_PV are weakly motivated,
and it's easier to remove them than to find a good rationale/explanation
for their existence.
As the result, there's a bit of refactoring in addition to
a documentation update.

Where bindings can see evidence from the pattern match of the `GRHSs`
they belong to, but not from anything in any of the guards (which belong
to one of possibly many RHSs).
Before this patch, we did *not* consider said evidence, causing #18533,
where the lack of considering type information from a case pattern match
leads to failure to resolve the vanilla COMPLETE set of a data type.
Making available that information required a medium amount of
refactoring so that `checkMatches` can return a
`[(Deltas, NonEmpty Deltas)]`; one `(Deltas, NonEmpty Deltas)` for each
`GRHSs` of the match group. The first component of the pair is the
covered set of the pattern, the second component is one covered set per
RHS.
Fixes #18533.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Add HomeUnit type
Since Backpack the "home unit" is much more involved than what it was
before (just an identifier obtained with `-this-unit-id`). Now it is
used in conjunction with `-component-id` and `-instantiated-with` to
configure module instantiations and to detect if we are type-checking an
indefinite unit or compiling a definite one.
This patch introduces a new HomeUnit datatype which is much easier to
understand. Moreover to make GHC support several packages in the same
instances, we will need to handle several HomeUnits so having a
dedicated (documented) type is helpful.
Finally in #14335 we will also need to handle the case where we have no
HomeUnit at all because we are only loading existing interfaces for
plugins which live in a different space compared to units used to
produce target code. Several functions will have to be refactored to
accept "Maybe HomeUnit" parameters instead of implicitly querying the
HomeUnit fields in DynFlags. Having a dedicated type will make this
easier.

Previously we had a very aggressive Core Lint check which caught
unsaturated applications of runRW#. However, there is nothing
wrong with such applications and they may naturally arise in desugared
Core. For instance, the desugared Core of Data.Primitive.Array.runArray#
from the `primitive` package contains:
case ($) (runRW# @_ @_) (\s -> ...) of ...
In this case it's almost certain that ($) will be inlined, turning the
application into a saturated application. However, even if this weren't
the case there isn't a problem: CorePrep (after deleting an unnecessary
case) can simply generate code in its usual way, resulting in a call to
the Haskell definition of runRW#.

This patch removes the use of `sdocWithDynFlags` from GHC.CmmToAsm.*.Ppr
To do that I've had to make some refactoring:
* X86' and PPC's `Instr` are no longer `Outputable` as they require a
`Platform` argument
* `Instruction` class now exposes `pprInstr :: Platform -> instr -> SDoc`
* as a consequence, I've refactored some modules to avoid .hs-boot files
* added (derived) functor instances for some datatypes parametric in the
instruction type. It's useful for pretty-printing as we just have to
map `pprInstr` before pretty-printing the container datatype.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Implement -Wredundant-bang-patterns (#17340)
Add new flag '-Wredundant-bang-patterns' that enables checks for "dead" bangs.
Dead bangs are the ones that under no circumstances can force a thunk that
wasn't already forced. Dead bangs are a form of redundant bangs. The new check
is performed in Pattern-Match Coverage Checker along with other checks (namely,
redundant and inaccessible RHSs). Given
f :: Bool -> Int
f True = 1
f !x = 2
we can detect dead bang patterns by checking whether @x ~ ⊥@ is satisfiable
where the PmBang appears in 'checkGrdTree'. If not, then clearly the bang is
dead. Such a dead bang is then indicated in the annotated pattern-match tree by
a 'RedundantSrcBang' wrapping. In 'redundantAndInaccessibles', we collect
all dead bangs to warn about.
Note that we don't want to warn for a dead bang that appears on a redundant
clause. That is because in that case, we recommend to delete the clause wholly,
including its leading pattern match.
Dead bang patterns are redundant. But there are bang patterns which are
redundant that aren't dead, for example
f !() = 0
the bang still forces the match variable, before we attempt to match on (). But
it is redundant with the forcing done by the () match. We currently don't
detect redundant bangs that aren't dead.

Fix #18323 by adding a few lines of code to handle non-recursive
pattern bindings. see GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind
Note [Special case for non-recursive pattern bindings]
Alas, this confused the pattern-match overlap checker; see #18323.
Note that this patch only affects pattern bindings like that
for (x,y) in this program
combine :: (forall a . [a] -> a) -> [forall a. a -> a]
-> ((forall a . [a] -> a), [forall a. a -> a])
breaks = let (x,y) = combine head ids
in x y True
We need ImpredicativeTypes for those [forall a. a->a] types to be
valid. And with ImpredicativeTypes the old, unprincipled "allow
unification variables to unify with a polytype" story actually
works quite well. So this test compiles fine (if delicatedly) with
old GHCs; but not with QuickLook unless we add this patch

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor UnitId pretty-printing
When we pretty-print a UnitId for the user, we try to map it back to its
origin package name, version and component to print
"package-version:component" instead of some hash.
The UnitId type doesn't carry these information, so we have to look into
a UnitState to find them. This is why the Outputable instance of
UnitId used `sdocWithDynFlags` in order to access the `unitState` field
of DynFlags.
This is wrong for several reasons:
1. The DynFlags are accessed when the message is printed, not when it is
generated. So we could imagine that the unitState may have changed
in-between. Especially if we want to allow unit unloading.
2. We want GHC to support several independent sessions at once, hence
several UnitState. The current approach supposes there is a unique
UnitState as a UnitId doesn't indicate which UnitState to use.
See the Note [Pretty-printing UnitId] in GHC.Unit for the new approach
implemented by this patch.
One step closer to remove `sdocDynFlags` field from `SDocContext`
(#10143).
Fix #18124.
Also fix some Backpack code to use SDoc instead of String.

GNU as and the AIX assembler support floating point literals.
SPARC seems to have support too but I cannot test on SPARC.
Curiously, `doubleToBytes` is also used in the LLVM backend.
To avoid endianness issues when cross-compiling float and double literals
are printed as C-style floating point values. The assembler then takes
care of memory layout and endianness.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove "Ord FastString" instance
FastStrings can be compared in 2 ways: by Unique or lexically. We don't
want to bless one particular way with an "Ord" instance because it leads
to bugs (#18562) or to suboptimal code (e.g. using lexical comparison
while a Unique comparison would suffice).
UTF-8 encoding has the advantage that sorting strings by their encoded
bytes also sorts them by their Unicode code points, without having to
decode the actual code points. BUT GHC uses Modified UTF-8 which
diverges from UTF-8 by encoding \0 as 0xC080 instead of 0x00 (to avoid
null bytes in the middle of a String so that the string can still be
null-terminated). This patch adds a new `utf8CompareShortByteString`
function that performs sorting by bytes but that also takes Modified
UTF-8 into account. It is much more performant than decoding the strings
into [Char] to perform comparisons (which we did in the previous patch).

Previously, `transpose` produced a list of heads

a function using only some heads, and only some tails,
could potentially leak space. Use `unzip` to work
around the problem by producing pairs and selector
thunks instead. Time and allocation behavior will
be worse, but there should be no more leak potential.</pre>

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Introduce isBoxedTupleDataCon and use it to fix #18644
The code that converts promoted tuple data constructors to
`IfaceType`s in `GHC.CoreToIface` was using `isTupleDataCon`, which
conflates boxed and unboxed tuple data constructors. To avoid this,
this patch introduces `isBoxedTupleDataCon`, which is like
`isTupleDataCon` but only works for _boxed_ tuple data constructors.
While I was in town, I was horribly confused by the fact that there
were separate functions named `isUnboxedTupleCon` and
`isUnboxedTupleTyCon` (similarly, `isUnboxedSumCon` and
`isUnboxedSumTyCon`). It turns out that the former only works for
data constructors, despite its very general name! I opted to rename
`isUnboxedTupleCon` to `isUnboxedTupleDataCon` (similarly, I renamed
`isUnboxedSumCon` to `isUnboxedSumDataCon`) to avoid this potential
confusion, as well as to be more consistent with
the naming convention I used for `isBoxedTupleDataCon`.
Fixes #18644.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">[macOS] improved runpath handling
In b592bd98ff25730bbe3c13d6f62a427df8c78e28 we started using
-dead_strip_dylib on macOS when lining dynamic libraries and binaries.
The underlying reason being the Load Command Size Limit in macOS
Sierra (10.14) and later.
GHC will produce @rpath/libHS... dependency entries together with a
corresponding RPATH entry pointing to the location of the libHS...
library. Thus for every library we produce two Load Commands. One to
specify the dependent library, and one with the path where to find it.
This makes relocating libraries and binaries easier, as we just need to
update the RPATH entry with the install_name_tool. The dynamic linker
will then subsitute each @rpath with the RPATH entries it finds in the
libraries load commands or the environement, when looking up @rpath
relative libraries.
-dead_strip_dylibs intructs the linker to drop unused libraries. This in
turn help us reduce the number of referenced libraries, and subsequently
the size of the load commands. This however does not remove the RPATH
entries. Subsequently we can end up (in extreme cases) with only a
single @rpath/libHS... entry, but 100s or more RPATH entries in the Load
Commands.
This patch rectifies this (slighly unorthodox) by passing *no* -rpath
arguments to the linker at link time, but -headerpad 8000. The
headerpad argument is in hexadecimal and the maxium 32k of the load
command size. This tells the linker to pad the load command section
enough for us to inject the RPATHs later. We then proceed to link the
library or binary with -dead_strip_dylibs, and *after* the linking
inspect the library to find the left over (non-dead-stripped)
dependencies (using otool). We find the corresponding RPATHs for each
@rpath relative dependency, and inject them into the library or binary
using the install_name_tool. Thus achieving a deadstripped dylib (and
rpaths) build product.
We can not do this in GHC, without starting to reimplement a dynamic
linker as we do not know which symbols and subsequently libraries are
necessary.

@alanz pointed out on ghc-devs that the payload of this pragma does
not appear to be used anywhere.
I (@bgamari) did some digging and traced the pragma's addition back to
d386e0d2 (way back in 2006!).
It appears that it was intended to be used by code generators for use
in informing the code coveraging checker about generated code
provenance. When it was added it used the pragma's "payload" fields as
source location information to build an "ExternalBox". However, it
looks like this was dropped a year later in 55a5d8d9. At this point
it seems like the pragma serves no useful purpose.
Given that it also is not documented, I think we should remove it.

Previously, we desugared and coverage checked plain guard trees as
described in Lower Your Guards. That caused (in !3849) quite a bit of
pain when we need to partially recover tree structure of the input
syntax to return covered sets for long-distance information, for
example.
In this refactor, I introduced a guard tree variant for each relevant
source syntax component of a pattern-match (mainly match groups, match,
GRHS, empty case, pattern binding). I made sure to share as much
coverage checking code as possible, so that the syntax-specific checking
functions are just wrappers around the more substantial checking
functions for the LYG primitives (`checkSequence`, `checkGrds`).
The refactoring payed off in clearer code and elimination of all panics
related to assumed guard tree structure and thus fixes #18565.
I also took the liberty to rename and re-arrange the order of functions
and comments in the module, deleted some dead and irrelevant Notes,
wrote some new ones and gave an overview module haddock.

In #18341, we discovered an incorrect digression from Lower Your Guards.
This MR changes what's necessary to support properly fixing #18341.
In particular, bottomness constraints are now properly tracked in the
oracle/inhabitation testing, as an additional field
`vi_bot :: Maybe Bool` in `VarInfo`. That in turn allows us to
model newtypes as advertised in the Appendix of LYG and fix #17725.
Proper handling of ⊥ also fixes #17977 (once again) and fixes #18670.
For some reason I couldn't follow, this also fixes #18273.
I also added a couple of regression tests that were missing. Most of
them were already fixed before.
In summary, this patch fixes #18341, #17725, #18273, #17977 and #18670.

By taking and returning an `InertSet`.
Every new `TcS` session can then pick up where a prior session left with
`setTcSInerts`.
Since we don't want to unflatten the Givens (and because it leads to
infinite loops, see !3971), we introduced a new variant of `runTcS`,
`runTcSInerts`, that takes and returns the `InertSet` and makes
sure not to unflatten the Givens after running the `TcS` action.
Fixes #18645 and #17836.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Extract definition of DsM into GHC.HsToCore.Types
`DsM` was previously defined in `GHC.Tc.Types`, along with `TcM`. But
`GHC.Tc.Types` is in the set of transitive dependencies of `GHC.Parser`,
a set which we aim to minimise. Test case `CountParserDeps` checks for
that.
Having `DsM` in that set means the parser also depends on the innards of
the pattern-match checker in `GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck.Types`, which is the
reason we have that module in the first place.
In the previous commit, we represented the `TyState` by an `InertSet`,
but that pulls the constraint solver as well as 250 more modules into
the set of dependencies, triggering failure of `CountParserDeps`.
Clearly, we want to evolve the pattern-match checker (and the desugarer)
without being concerned by this test, so this patch includes a small
refactor that puts `DsM` into its own module.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Hackily decouple the parser from the desugarer
In a hopefully temporary hack, I re-used the idea from !1957 of using a
nullary type family to break the dependency from GHC.Driver.Hooks on the
definition of DsM ("Abstract Data").
This in turn broke the last dependency from the parser to the desugarer.
More details in `Note [The Decoupling Abstract Data Hack]`.
In the future, we hope to undo this hack again in favour of breaking the
dependency from the parser to DynFlags altogether.

Two bugs, #18627 and #18649, had the same cause: we were not
account for the fact that a constaint tuple might hide an implicit
parameter.
The solution is not hard: look for implicit parameters in
superclasses. See Note [Local implicit parameters] in
GHC.Core.Predicate.
Then we use this new function in two places
* The "short-cut solver" in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact.shortCutSolver
which simply didn't handle implicit parameters properly at all.
This fixes #18627
* The specialiser, which should not specialise on implicit parameters
This fixes #18649
There are some lingering worries (see Note [Local implicit
parameters]) but things are much better.

confusion between `HsParTy` and the enclosing parentheses in

Before this patch, we had this parser production:
ftype : ...
| ftype PREFIX_AT tyarg { ... }
And 'tyarg' is defined as follows:
tyarg : atype { ... }
| unpackedness atype { ... }
So one might get the (false) impression that that parser production is
intended to parse things like:
F @{-# UNPACK #-} X
However, the lexer wouldn't produce PREFIX_AT followed by 'unpackedness',
as the '@' operator followed by '{-' is not considered prefix.
Thus there's no point using 'tyarg' after PREFIX_AT,
and a simple 'atype' will suffice:
ftype : ...
| ftype PREFIX_AT atype { ... }
This change has no user-facing consequences. It just makes the grammar a
bit more clear.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Introduce OutputableP
Some types need a Platform value to be pretty-printed: CLabel, Cmm
types, instructions, etc.
Before this patch they had an Outputable instance and the Platform value
was obtained via sdocWithDynFlags. It meant that the *renderer* of the
SDoc was responsible of passing the appropriate Platform value (e.g. via
the DynFlags given to showSDoc). It put the burden of passing the
Platform value on the renderer while the generator of the SDoc knows the
Platform it is generating the SDoc for and there is no point passing a
different Platform at rendering time.
With this patch, we introduce a new OutputableP class:
class OutputableP a where
pdoc :: Platform -> a -> SDoc
With this class we still have some polymorphism as we have with `ppr`
(i.e. we can use `pdoc` on a variety of types instead of having a
dedicated `pprXXX` function for each XXX type).
One step closer removing `sdocWithDynFlags` (#10143) and supporting
several platforms (#14335).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Wire in constraint tuples
This wires in the definitions of the constraint tuple classes. The
key changes are in:
* `GHC.Builtin.Types`, where the `mk_ctuple` function is used to
define constraint tuple type constructors, data constructors, and
superclass selector functions, and
* `GHC.Builtin.Uniques`. In addition to wiring in the `Unique`s for
constraint tuple type and data constructors, we now must wire in
the superclass selector functions. Luckily, this proves to be not
that challenging. See the newly added comments.
Historical note: constraint tuples used to be wired-in until about
five years ago, when commit 130e93aab220bdf14d08028771f83df210da340b
turned them into known-key names. This was done as part of a larger
refactor to reduce the number of special cases for constraint tuples,
but the commit message notes that the main reason that constraint
tuples were made known-key (as opposed to boxed/unboxed tuples, which
are wired in) is because it was awkward to wire in the superclass
selectors. This commit solves the problem of wiring in superclass
selectors.
Fixes #18635.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Export singleton function from Data.List
Data.OldList exports a monomorphized singleton function but
it is not re-exported by Data.List. Adding the export to
Data.List causes a conflict with a 14-year old function of the
same name and type by SPJ in GHC.Utils.Misc. We can't just remove
this function because that leads to a problems when building
GHC with a stage0 compiler that does not have singleton in
Data.List yet. We also can't hide the function in GHC.Utils.Misc
since it is not possible to hide a function from a module if the
module does not export the function. To work around this, all
places where the Utils.Misc singleton was used now use a qualified
version like Utils.singleton and in GHC.Utils.Misc we are very
specific about which version we export.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Disallow constraints in KindSigCtxt
This patch cleans up how `GHC.Tc.Validity` classifies `UserTypeCtxt`s
that can only refer to kind-level positions, which is important for
rejecting certain classes of programs. In particular, this patch:
* Introduces a new `TypeOrKindCtxt` data type and
`typeOrKindCtxt :: UserTypeCtxt -> TypeOrKindCtxt` function, which
determines whether a `UserTypeCtxt` can refer to type-level
contexts, kind-level contexts, or both.
* Defines the existing `allConstraintsAllowed` and `vdqAllowed`
functions in terms of `typeOrKindCtxt`, which avoids code
duplication and ensures that they stay in sync in the future.
The net effect of this patch is that it fixes #18714, in which it was
discovered that `allConstraintsAllowed` incorrectly returned `True`
for `KindSigCtxt`. Because `typeOrKindCtxt` now correctly classifies
`KindSigCtxt` as a kind-level context, this bug no longer occurs.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Better eta-expansion (again) and don't specilise DFuns
This patch fixes #18223, which made GHC generate an exponential
amount of code. There are three quite separate changes in here
1. Re-engineer eta-expansion (again). The eta-expander was
generating lots of intermediate stuff, which could be optimised
away, but which choked the simplifier meanwhile. Relatively
easy to kill it off at source.
See Note [The EtaInfo mechanism] in GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.
The main new thing is the use of pushCoArg in getArg_maybe.
2. Stop Specialise specalising DFuns. This is the cause of a huge
(and utterly unnecessary) blowup in program size in #18223.
See Note [Do not specialise DFuns] in GHC.Core.Opt.Specialise.
I also refactored the Specialise monad a bit... it was silly,
because it passed on unchanging values as if they were mutable
state.
3. Do an extra Simplifer run, after SpecConstra and before
late-Specialise. I found (investigating perf/compiler/T16473)
that failing to do this was crippling *both* SpecConstr *and*
Specialise. See Note [Simplify after SpecConstr] in
GHC.Core.Opt.Pipeline.
This change does mean an extra run of the Simplifier, but only
with -O2, and I think that's acceptable.
T16473 allocates *three* times less with this change. (I changed
it to check runtime rather than compile time.)
Some smaller consequences
* I moved pushCoercion, pushCoArg and friends from SimpleOpt
to Arity, because it was needed by the new etaInfoApp.
And pushCoValArg now returns a MCoercion rather than Coercion for
the argument Coercion.
* A minor, incidental improvement to Core pretty-printing
This does fix #18223, (which was otherwise uncompilable. Hooray. But
there is still a big intermediate because there are some very deeply
nested types in that program.
Modest reductions in compile-time allocation on a couple of benchmarks

There is a spurious apparent increase on heap residency on T9630,
on some architectures at least. I tried it with -G1 and the residency
is essentially unchanged.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix the occurrence analyser
Ticket #18603 demonstrated that the occurrence analyser's
handling of
local RULES for imported Ids
(which I now call IMP-RULES) was inadequate. It led the simplifier
into an infnite loop by failing to label a binder as a loop breaker.
The main change in this commit is to treat IMP-RULES in a simple and
uniform way: as extra rules for the local binder. See
Note [IMP-RULES: local rules for imported functions]
This led to quite a bit of refactoring. The result is still tricky,
but it's much better than before, and better documented I think.
Oh, and it fixes the bug.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">PmCheck: Rewrite inhabitation test
We used to produce inhabitants of a pattern-match refinement type Nabla
in the checker in at least two different and mostly redundant ways:
1. There was `provideEvidence` (now called
`generateInhabitingPatterns`) which is used by
`GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck` to produce non-exhaustive patterns, which
produces inhabitants of a Nabla as a sub-refinement type where all
match variables are instantiated.
2. There also was `ensure{,All}Inhabited` (now called
`inhabitationTest`) which worked slightly different, but was
whenever new type constraints or negative term constraints were
added. See below why `provideEvidence` and `ensureAllInhabited`
can't be the same function, the main reason being performance.
3. And last but not least there was the `nonVoid` test, which tested
that a given type was inhabited. We did use this for strict fields
and -XEmptyCase in the past.
The overlap of (3) with (2) was always a major pet peeve of mine. The
latter was quite efficient and proven to work for recursive data types,
etc, but could not handle negative constraints well (e.g. we often want
to know if a *refined* type is empty, such as `{ x:[a] | x /= [] }`).
Lower Your Guards suggested that we could get by with just one, by
replacing both functions with `inhabitationTest` in this patch.
That was only possible by implementing the structure of φ constraints
as in the paper, namely the semantics of φ constructor constraints.
This has a number of benefits:
a. Proper handling of unlifted types and strict fields, fixing #18249,
without any code duplication between
`GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck.Oracle.instCon` (was `mkOneConFull`) and
`GHC.HsToCore.PmCheck.checkGrd`.
b. `instCon` can perform the `nonVoid` test (3) simply by emitting
unliftedness constraints for strict fields.
c. `nonVoid` (3) is thus simply expressed by a call to
`inhabitationTest`.
d. Similarly, `ensureAllInhabited` (2), which we called after adding
type info, now can similarly be expressed as the fuel-based
`inhabitationTest`.
See the new `Note [Why inhabitationTest doesn't call generateInhabitingPatterns]`
why we still have tests (1) and (2).
Fixes #18249 and brings nice metric decreases for `T17836` (-76%) and
`T17836b` (-46%), as well as `T18478` (-8%) at the cost of a few very
minor regressions (< +2%), potentially due to the fact that
`generateInhabitingPatterns` does more work to suggest the minimal
COMPLETE set.
Metric Decrease:
