<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fall back to types when looking up data constructors (#18740)
Before this patch, referring to a data constructor in a term-level
context led to a scoping error:
ghci> id Int
<interactive>:1:4: error: Data constructor not in scope: Int
After this patch, the renamer falls back to the type namespace
and successfully finds the Int. It is then rejected in the type
checker with a more useful error message:
<interactive>:1:4: error:
• Illegal term-level use of the type constructor ‘Int’
imported from ‘Prelude’ (and originally defined in ‘GHC.Types’)
• In the first argument of ‘id’, namely ‘Int’
In the expression: id Int
We also do this for type variables.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Unification of Nat and Naturals
This commit removes the separate kind 'Nat' and enables promotion
of type 'Natural' for using as type literal.
It partially solves #10776
Now the following code will be successfully typechecked:
data C = MkC Natural
type CC = MkC 1
Before this change we had to create the separate type for promotion
data C = MkC Natural
data CP = MkCP Nat
type CC = MkCP 1
But CP is uninhabited in terms.
For backward compatibility type synonym `Nat` has been made:
type Nat = Natural
The user's documentation and tests have been updated.
The haddock submodule also have been updated.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make DataKinds the sole arbiter of kind-level literals (and friends)
Previously, the use of kind-level literals, promoted tuples,
and promoted lists required enabling both `DataKinds` and
`PolyKinds`. This made sense back in a `TypeInType` world, but not so
much now that `TypeInType`'s role has been superseded. Nowadays,
`PolyKinds` only controls kind polymorphism, so let's make `DataKinds`
the thing that controls the other aspects of `TypeInType`, which include
literals, promoted tuples and promoted lists.
There are some other things that overzealously required `PolyKinds`,
which this patch fixes as well:
* Previously, using constraints in kinds (e.g., `data T :: () -> Type`)
required `PolyKinds`, despite the fact that this is orthogonal to kind
polymorphism. This now requires `DataKinds` instead.
* Previously, using kind annotations in kinds
(e.g., `data T :: (Type :: Type) -> Type`) required both `KindSignatures`
and `PolyKinds`. This doesn't make much sense, so it only requires
`KindSignatures` now.
Fixes #18831.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix some missed opportunities for preInlineUnconditionally
There are two signficant changes here:
* Ticket #18815 showed that we were missing some opportunities for
preInlineUnconditionally. The one-line fix is in the code for
GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils.preInlineUnconditionally, which now
switches off only for INLINE pragmas. I expanded
Note [Stable unfoldings and preInlineUnconditionally] to explain.
* When doing this I discovered a way in which preInlineUnconditionally
was occasionally /too/ eager. It's all explained in
Note [Occurrences in stable unfoldings] in GHC.Core.Opt.OccurAnal,
and the one-line change adding markAllMany to occAnalUnfolding.
I also got confused about what NoUserInline meant, so I've renamed
it to NoUserInlinePrag, and changed its pretty-printing slightly.
That led to soem error messate wibbling, and touches quite a few
files, but there is no change in functionality.
I did a nofib run. As expected, no significant changes.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Skip type family defaults with hs-boot and hsig files
Works around #17190, possible resolution for #17224. New design is is
according to accepted [GHC Propoal 320].
Instances in signatures currently unconditionally opt into associated
family defaults if no explicit instance is given. This is bad for two
reasons:
1. It constrains possible instantiations to use the default, rather
than possibly define the associated family differently.
2. It breaks compilation as type families are unsupported in
signatures.
This PR simply turns off the filling in of defaults in those cases.
Additionally, it squelches a missing definition warning for hs-boot too
that was only squelched for hsig before.
The downsides are:
1. There is no way to opt into the default, other than copying its
definition.
2. If we fixed type classes in signatures, and wanted instances to
have to explicitly *out of* rather than into the default, that would
now be a breaking change.
The change that is most unambiguously goood is harmonizing the warning
squelching between hs-boot or hsig. Maybe they should have the warning
(opt out of default) maybe they shouldn't (opt in to default), but
surely it should be the same for both.
Add hs-boot version of a backpack test regarding class-specified
defaults in instances that appear in an hs-boot file.
The metrics increase is very slight and makes no sense --- at least no
one has figured anything out after this languishing for a while, so I'm
just going to accept it.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Arity: Refactor fixed-point iteration in GHC.Core.Opt.Arity
Arity analysis used to propagate optimistic arity types during
fixed-point interation through the `ArityEnv`'s `ae_cheap_fun` field,
which is like `GHC.Core.Utils.exprIsCheap`, but also considers the
current iteration's optimistic arity, for the binder in question only.
In #18793, we have seen that this is a problematic design, because it
doesn't allow us to look through PAP bindings of that binder.
Hence this patch refactors to a more traditional form with an explicit
signature environment, in which we record the optimistic `ArityType` of
the binder in question (and at the moment is the *only* binder that is
recorded in the arity environment).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Arity: Record arity types for non-recursive lets
In #18793, we saw a compelling example which requires us to look at
non-recursive let-bindings during arity analysis and unleash their arity
types at use sites.
After the refactoring in the previous patch, the needed change is quite
simple and very local to `arityType`'s defn for non-recurisve `Let`.
Apart from that, we had to get rid of the second item of
`Note [Dealing with bottoms]`, which was entirely a safety measure and
hindered optimistic fixed-point iteration.
Fixes #18793.
The following metric increases are all caused by this commit and a
result of the fact that we just do more work now:

This diff makes sure that incall threads, when using `rts_setInCallCapability`, will be created as locked.
If the thread is not locked, the thread might end up being scheduled to a different capability.
While this is mentioned in the docs for `rts_setInCallCapability,`, it makes the method significantly less useful as there is no guarantees on the capability being used.
This commit also adds a test to make sure things stay on the correct capability.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Don't get host RTS ways via settings (#18651)
To correctly perform a linking hack for Windows we need to link with the
RTS GHC is currently using. We used to query the RTS ways via the
"settings" file but it is fragile (#18651). The hack hasn't been fixed
to take into account all the ways (Tracing) and it makes linking of GHC
with another RTS more difficult (we need to link with another RTS and to
regenerate the settings file).
So this patch uses the ways reported by the RTS itself
(GHC.Platform.Ways.hostWays) instead of the "settings" file.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Compile modules with `-fobject-code` enabled to byte-code when loaded with `*` prefix in ghci (#8042)
The documentation states that when using :add and :load, the `*` prefix forces a module
to be loaded as byte-code. However, this seems to be ignored when -fobject-code has been
enabled. In that case, the compiled code is always used, regardless of whether the *-form
is used.
The idea is to consult the Targets in HscEnv and check the 'targetAllowObjCode' flag. If
the flag for given module is set, then patch up DynFlags and select compilation backend
accordingly.
This would require a linear scan of course, but that shouldn't be too costly.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix two constraint solving problems
This patch fixes two problems in the constraint solver.
* An actual bug #18555: we were floating out a constraint to eagerly,
and that was ultimately fatal. It's explained in
Note [Do not float blocked constraints] in GHC.Core.Constraint.
This is all very delicate, but it's all going to become irrelevant
when we stop floating constraints (#17656).
* A major performance infelicity in the flattener. When flattening
(ty |> co) we *never* generated Refl, even when there was nothing
at all to do. Result: we would gratuitously rewrite the constraint
to exactly the same thing, wasting work. Described in #18413, and
came up again in #18855.
Solution: exploit the special case by calling the new function
castCoercionKind1. See Note [castCoercionKind1] in
GHC.Core.Coercion

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">DmdAnal: Kill `is_thunk` case in `splitFV`
The `splitFV` function implements the highly dubious hack
described in `Note [Lazy und unleashable free variables]` in
GHC.Core.Opt.DmdAnal. It arranges it so that demand signatures only
carry strictness info on free variables. Usage info is released through
other means, see the Note. It's purely for analysis performance reasons.
It turns out that `splitFV` has a quite involved case for thunks that
produces slightly different usage signatures and it's not clear why we
need it: `splitFV` is only relevant in the LetDown case and the only
time we call it on thunks is for top-level or local recursive thunks.
Since usage signatures of top-level thunks can only reference other
top-level bindings and we completely discard demand info we have on
top-level things (see the lack of `setIdDemandInfo` in
`dmdAnalTopBind`), the `is_thunk` case is completely irrelevant here.
For local, recursive thunks, the added benefit of the `is_thunk` test
is marginal: We get used-multiple-times in some cases where previously
we had used-once if a recursive thunk has multiple call sites. It's
very unlikely and not a case to optimise for.
So we kill the `is_thunk` case and inline `splitFV` at its call site,
exposing `isWeakDmd` from `GHC.Types.Demand` instead.
The NoFib summary supports this decision:
```
Min 0.0% -0.0%
Max 0.0% +0.0%
Geometric Mean -0.0% -0.0%
```

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Split GHC.Driver.Types
I was working on making DynFlags stateless (#17957), especially by
storing loaded plugins into HscEnv instead of DynFlags. It turned out to
be complicated because HscEnv is in GHC.Driver.Types but LoadedPlugin
isn't: it is in GHC.Driver.Plugins which depends on GHC.Driver.Types. I
didn't feel like introducing yet another hs-boot file to break the loop.
Additionally I remember that while we introduced the module hierarchy
(#13009) we talked about splitting GHC.Driver.Types because it contained
various unrelated types and functions, but we never executed. I didn't
feel like making GHC.Driver.Types bigger with more unrelated Plugins
related types, so finally I bit the bullet and split GHC.Driver.Types.
As a consequence this patch moves a lot of things. I've tried to put
them into appropriate modules but nothing is set in stone.
Several other things moved to avoid loops.
* Removed Binary instances from GHC.Utils.Binary for random compiler
things
* Moved Typeable Binary instances into GHC.Utils.Binary.Typeable: they
import a lot of things that users of GHC.Utils.Binary don't want to
depend on.
* put everything related to Units/Modules under GHC.Unit:
GHC.Unit.Finder, GHC.Unit.Module.{ModGuts,ModIface,Deps,etc.}
* Created several modules under GHC.Types: GHC.Types.Fixity, SourceText,
etc.
* Split GHC.Utils.Error (into GHC.Types.Error)
* Finally removed GHC.Driver.Types
Note that this patch doesn't put loaded plugins into HscEnv. It's left
for another patch.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Check for large tuples more thoroughly
This fixes #18723 by:
* Moving the existing `GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.bigConstraintTuple` validity
check to `GHC.Rename.Utils.checkCTupSize` for consistency with
`GHC.Rename.Utils.checkTupSize`, and
* Using `check(C)TupSize` when checking tuple _types_, in addition
to checking names, expressions, and patterns.
Note that I put as many of these checks as possible in the typechecker so
that GHC can properly distinguish between boxed and constraint tuples. The
exception to this rule is checking names, which I perform in the renamer
(in `GHC.Rename.Env`) so that we can rule out `(,, ... ,,)` and
`''(,, ... ,,)` alike in one fell swoop.
While I was in town, I also removed the `HsConstraintTuple` and
`HsBoxedTuple` constructors of `HsTupleSort`, which are functionally
unused. This requires a `haddock` submodule bump.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Split HsConDecl{H98,GADT}Details
Haskell98 and GADT constructors both use `HsConDeclDetails`, which includes
`InfixCon`. But `InfixCon` is never used for GADT constructors, which results
in an awkward unrepresentable state. This removes the unrepresentable state by:
* Renaming the existing `HsConDeclDetails` synonym to `HsConDeclH98Details`,
which emphasizes the fact that it is now only used for Haskell98-style data
constructors, and
* Creating a new `HsConDeclGADTDetails` data type with `PrefixConGADT` and
`RecConGADT` constructors that closely resemble `PrefixCon` and `InfixCon`
in `HsConDeclH98Details`. The key difference is that `HsConDeclGADTDetails`
lacks any way to represent infix constructors.
The rest of the patch is refactoring to accommodate the new structure of
`HsConDecl{H98,GADT}Details`. Some highlights:
* The `getConArgs` and `hsConDeclArgTys` functions have been removed, as
there is no way to implement these functions uniformly for all
`ConDecl`s. For the most part, their previous call sites now
pattern match on the `ConDecl`s directly and do different things for
`ConDeclH98`s and `ConDeclGADT`s.
I did introduce one new function to make the transition easier:
`getRecConArgs_maybe`, which extracts the arguments from a `RecCon(GADT)`.
This is still possible since `RecCon(GADT)`s still use the same representation
in both `HsConDeclH98Details` and `HsConDeclGADTDetails`, and since the
pattern that `getRecConArgs_maybe` implements is used in several places,
I thought it worthwhile to factor it out into its own function.
* Previously, the `con_args` fields in `ConDeclH98` and `ConDeclGADT` were
both of type `HsConDeclDetails`. Now, the former is of type
`HsConDeclH98Details`, and the latter is of type `HsConDeclGADTDetails`,
which are distinct types. As a result, I had to rename the `con_args` field
in `ConDeclGADT` to `con_g_args` to make it typecheck.
A consequence of all this is that the `con_args` field is now partial, so
using `con_args` as a top-level field selector is dangerous. (Indeed, Haddock
was using `con_args` at the top-level, which caused it to crash at runtime
before I noticed what was wrong!) I decided to add a disclaimer in the 9.2.1
release notes to advertise this pitfall.
Fixes #18844. Bumps the `haddock` submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Make typechecker equality consider visibility in ForAllTys
Previously, `can_eq_nc'` would equate `ForAllTy`s regardless of their
`ArgFlag`, including `forall i -> i -> Type` and `forall i. i -> Type`! To fix
this, `can_eq_nc'` now uses the `sameVis` function to first check if the
`ArgFlag`s are equal modulo specificity. I have also updated `tcEqType`'s
implementation to match this behavior. For more explanation on the "modulo
specificity" part, see the new `Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality]`
in `GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical`.
While I was in town, I fixed some related documentation issues:
* I added `Note [Typechecker equality]` to `GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType` to describe
what exactly distinguishes `can_eq_nc'` and `tcEqType` (which implement
typechecker equality) from `eqType` (which implements definitional equality,
which does not care about the `ArgFlags` of `ForAllTy`s at all).
* The User's Guide had some outdated prose on the specified/inferred
distinction being different for types and kinds, a holdover from #15079. This
is no longer the case on today's GHC, so I removed this prose, added some new
prose to take its place, and added a regression test for the programs in
#15079.
* The User's Guide had some _more_ outdated prose on inferred type variables
not being allowed in `default` type signatures for class methods, which is no
longer true as of the resolution of #18432.
* The related `Note [Deferred Unification]` was being referenced as
`Note [Deferred unification]` elsewhere, which made it harder to `grep`
for. I decided to change the name of the Note to `Deferred unification`
for consistency with the capitalization style used for most other Notes.
Fixes #18863.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor numeric constant folding rules
Avoid the use of global pattern synonyms.
1) I think it's going to be helpful to implement constant folding for
other numeric types, especially Natural which doesn't have a wrapping
behavior. We'll have to refactor these rules even more so we'd better
make them less cryptic.
2) It should also be slightly faster because global pattern synonyms
matched operations for every numeric types instead of the current one:
e.g., ":**:" pattern was matching multiplication for both Int# and
Word# types. As we will probably want to implement constant folding
for other numeric types (Int8#, Int16#, etc.), it is more efficient
to only match primops for a given type as we do now.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Display results of GHC.Core.Lint.lint* functions consistently
Previously, the functions in `GHC.Core.Lint` used a patchwork of
different ways to display Core Lint errors:
* `lintPassResult` (which is the source of most Core Lint errors) renders
Core Lint errors with a distinctive banner (e.g.,
`*** Core Lint errors : in result of ... ***`) that sets them apart
from ordinary GHC error messages.
* `lintAxioms`, in contrast, uses a completely different code path that
displays Core Lint errors in a rather confusing manner. For example,
the program in #18770 would give these results:
```
Bug.hs:1:1: error:
Bug.hs:12:1: warning:
Non-*-like kind when *-like expected: RuntimeRep
when checking the body of forall: 'TupleRep '[r]
In the coercion axiom Bug.N:T :: []. Bug.T ~_R Any
Substitution: [TCvSubst
In scope: InScope {r}
Type env: [axl :-> r]
Co env: []]
|
1 | {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
| ^
```
* Further digging reveals that `GHC.IfaceToCore` displays Core Lint
errors for iface unfoldings as though they were a GHC panic. See, for
example, this excerpt from #17723:
```
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
Iface Lint failure
In interface for Lib
...
```
This patch makes all of these code paths display Core Lint errors and
warnings consistently. I decided to adopt the conventions that
`lintPassResult` currently uses, as they appear to have been around the
longest (and look the best, in my subjective opinion). We now use the
`displayLintResult` function for all three scenarios mentioned above.
For example, here is what the Core Lint error for the program in #18770 looks
like after this patch:
```
[1 of 1] Compiling Bug ( Bug.hs, Bug.o )
*** Core Lint errors : in result of TcGblEnv axioms ***
Bug.hs:12:1: warning:
Non-*-like kind when *-like expected: RuntimeRep

Type env: [axn :-> r_axn]
Co env: []]
*** Offending Program ***

*** End of Offense ***

Fixes #18770.

There are a few reasons why capturing the output of the RunTest builder

* there is a large amount of output which then gets unnecessarily
duplicated by Hadrian if the builder fails
* the output may contain codepoints which are unrepresentable in the
current codepage on Windows, causing Hadrian to crash
* capturing the output causes the testsuite driver to disable
its colorisation logic, making the output less legible.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Constant-folding: don't pass through GHC's Int/Word (fix #11704)
Constant-folding rules for integerToWord/integerToInt were performing
the following coercions at compilation time:
integerToWord: target's Integer -> ghc's Word -> target's Word
integerToInt : target's Integer -> ghc's Int -> target's Int
1) It was wrong for cross-compilers when GHC's word size is smaller than
the target one. This patch avoids passing through GHC's word-sized
types:
integerToWord: target's Integer -> ghc's Integer -> target's Word
integerToInt : target's Integer -> ghc's Integer -> target's Int
2) Additionally we didn't wrap the target word/int literal to make it
fit into the target's range! This broke the invariant of literals
only containing values in range.
The existing code is wrong only with a 64-bit cross-compiling GHC,
targeting a 32-bit platform, and performing constant folding on a
literal that doesn't fit in a 32-bit word. If GHC was built with
DEBUG, the assertion in GHC.Types.Literal.mkLitWord would fail.
Otherwise the bad transformation would go unnoticed.

The atomic Exchange and CAS operations on integral types are updated to
take and return more natural `Word#` rather than `Int#` values. These
are bit-block not arithmetic operations, and the sign bit plays no
special role.
Standardises the names to `atomic<OpType><ValType>Addr#`, where `OpType` is one
of `Cas` or `Exchange` and `ValType` is presently either `Word` or `Addr`.
Eventually, variants for `Word32` and `Word64` can and should be added,
once #11953 and related issues (e.g. #13825) are resolved.
Adds tests for `Addr#` CAS that mirror existing tests for
`MutableByteArray#`.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Replace HsImplicitBndrs with HsOuterTyVarBndrs
This refactors the GHC AST to remove `HsImplicitBndrs` and replace it with
`HsOuterTyVarBndrs`, a type which records whether the outermost quantification
in a type is explicit (i.e., with an outermost, invisible `forall`) or
implicit. As a result of this refactoring, it is now evident in the AST where
the `forall`-or-nothing rule applies: it's all the places that use
`HsOuterTyVarBndrs`. See the revamped `Note [forall-or-nothing rule]` in
`GHC.Hs.Type` (previously in `GHC.Rename.HsType`).
Moreover, the places where `ScopedTypeVariables` brings lexically scoped type
variables into scope are a subset of the places that adhere to the
`forall`-or-nothing rule, so this also makes places that interact with
`ScopedTypeVariables` easier to find. See the revamped
`Note [Lexically scoped type variables]` in `GHC.Hs.Type` (previously in
`GHC.Tc.Gen.Sig`).
`HsOuterTyVarBndrs` are used in type signatures (see `HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs`)
and type family equations (see `HsOuterFamEqnTyVarBndrs`). The main difference
between the former and the latter is that the former cares about specificity
but the latter does not.
There are a number of knock-on consequences:
* There is now a dedicated `HsSigType` type, which is the combination of
`HsOuterSigTyVarBndrs` and `HsType`. `LHsSigType` is now an alias for an
`XRec` of `HsSigType`.
* Working out the details led us to a substantial refactoring of
the handling of explicit (user-written) and implicit type-variable
bindings in `GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType`.
Instead of a confusing family of higher order functions, we now
have a local data type, `SkolemInfo`, that controls how these
binders are kind-checked.
It remains very fiddly, not fully satisfying. But it's better
than it was.
Fixes #16762. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Refactor -dynamic-too handling
1) Don't modify DynFlags (too much) for -dynamic-too: now when we
generate dynamic outputs for "-dynamic-too", we only set "dynamicNow"
boolean field in DynFlags instead of modifying several other fields.
These fields now have accessors that take dynamicNow into account.
2) Use DynamicTooState ADT to represent -dynamic-too state. It's much
clearer than the undocumented "DynamicTooConditional" that was used
before.
As a result, we can finally remove the hscs_iface_dflags field in
HscRecomp. There was a comment on this field saying:
"FIXME (osa): I don't understand why this is necessary, but I spent
almost two days trying to figure this out and I couldn't .. perhaps
someone who understands this code better will remove this later."
I don't fully understand the details, but it was needed because of the
changes made to the DynFlags for -dynamic-too.
There is still something very dubious in GHC.Iface.Recomp: we have to
disable the "dynamicNow" flag at some point for some Backpack's "heinous
hack" to continue to work. It may be because interfaces for indefinite
units are always non-dynamic, or because we mix and match dynamic and
non-dynamic interfaces (#9176), or something else, who knows?

Previously the overflow check for the IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32NB
relocation failed to account for the signed nature of the value.
Specifically, the overflow check was:
uint64_t v;
v = S + A;
if (v >> 32) { ... }
However, `v` ultimately needs to fit into 32-bits as a signed value.
Consequently, values `v > 2^31` in fact overflow yet this is not caught
by the existing overflow check.
Here we rewrite the overflow check to rather ensure that
`INT32_MIN <= v <= INT32_MAX`. There is now quite a bit of repetition
between the `IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32` and `IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32` cases
but I am leaving fixing this for future work.
This bug was first noticed by @awson.
Fixes #15808.

It turns out that some important native debugging/profiling tools (e.g.
perf) rely only on symbol tables for function name resolution (as
opposed to using DWARF DIEs). However, previously GHC would emit
temporary symbols (e.g. `.La42b`) to identify module-internal
entities. Such symbols are dropped during linking and therefore not
visible to runtime tools (in addition to having rather un-helpful unique
names). For instance, `perf report` would often end up attributing all
cost to the libc `frame_dummy` symbol since Haskell code was no covered
by any proper symbol (see #17605).
We now rather follow the model of C compilers and emit
descriptively-named local symbols for module internal things. Since this
will increase object file size this behavior can be disabled with the
`-fno-expose-internal-symbols` flag.
With this `perf record` can finally be used against Haskell executables.
Even more, with `-g3` `perf annotate` provides inline source code.

This adds two functions:

They are useful if you want to load a shared object with Haskell code
using the system linker and have GHC call dlclose() after the
code is no longer referenced from the heap.
Using the system linker allows you to load the shared object
above outside the low-mem region. It also loads the DWARF sections
in a way that `perf` understands.
`dl_iterate_phdr` is what makes this implementation Linux specific.

data ArityType = AT [OneShotInfo] Divergence
```
The majority of changes in this patch are the result of refactoring use
sites of `ArityType` to match the new definition.
The regression test `T18870` asserts that we indeed don't emit any DEBUG
output anymore for a function where we previously would have.
Similarly, there's a regression test `T18937` for #18937, which we
expect to be broken for now.
Fixes #18870.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Name (tc)SplitForAll- functions more consistently
There is a zoo of `splitForAll-` functions in `GHC.Core.Type` (as well as
`tcSplitForAll-` functions in `GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType`) that all do very similar
things, but vary in the particular form of type variable that they return. To
make things worse, the names of these functions are often quite misleading.
Some particularly egregious examples:
* `splitForAllTys` returns `TyCoVar`s, but `splitSomeForAllTys` returns
`VarBndr`s.
* `splitSomeForAllTys` returns `VarBndr`s, but `tcSplitSomeForAllTys` returns
`TyVar`s.
* `splitForAllTys` returns `TyCoVar`s, but `splitForAllTysInvis` returns
`InvisTVBinder`s. (This in particular arose in the context of #18939, and
this finally motivated me to bite the bullet and improve the status quo
vis-à-vis how we name these functions.)
In an attempt to bring some sanity to how these functions are named, I have
opted to rename most of these functions en masse to use consistent suffixes
that describe the particular form of type variable that each function returns.
In concrete terms, this amounts to:
* Functions that return a `TyVar` now use the suffix `-TyVar`.
This caused the following functions to be renamed:
* `splitTyVarForAllTys` -> `splitForAllTyVars`
* `splitForAllTy_ty_maybe` -> `splitForAllTyVar_maybe`
* `tcSplitForAllTys` -> `tcSplitForAllTyVars`
* `tcSplitSomeForAllTys` -> `tcSplitSomeForAllTyVars`
* Functions that return a `CoVar` now use the suffix `-CoVar`.
This caused the following functions to be renamed:
* `splitForAllTy_co_maybe` -> `splitForAllCoVar_maybe`
* Functions that return a `TyCoVar` now use the suffix `-TyCoVar`.
This caused the following functions to be renamed:
* `splitForAllTy` -> `splitForAllTyCoVar`
* `splitForAllTys` -> `splitForAllTyCoVars`
* `splitForAllTys'` -> `splitForAllTyCoVars'`
* `splitForAllTy_maybe` -> `splitForAllTyCoVar_maybe`
* Functions that return a `VarBndr` now use the suffix corresponding to the
most relevant type synonym. This caused the following functions to be renamed:
* `splitForAllVarBndrs` -> `splitForAllTyCoVarBinders`
* `splitForAllTysInvis` -> `splitForAllInvisTVBinders`
* `splitForAllTysReq` -> `splitForAllReqTVBinders`
* `splitSomeForAllTys` -> `splitSomeForAllTyCoVarBndrs`
* `tcSplitForAllVarBndrs` -> `tcSplitForAllTyVarBinders`
* `tcSplitForAllTysInvis` -> `tcSplitForAllInvisTVBinders`
* `tcSplitForAllTysReq` -> `tcSplitForAllReqTVBinders`
* `tcSplitForAllTy_maybe` -> `tcSplitForAllTyVarBinder_maybe`
Note that I left the following functions alone:
* Functions that split apart things besides `ForAllTy`s, such as `splitFunTys`
or `splitPiTys`. Thankfully, there are far fewer of these functions than
there are functions that split apart `ForAllTy`s, so there isn't much of a
pressing need to apply the new naming convention elsewhere.
* Functions that split apart `ForAllCo`s in `Coercion`s, such as
`GHC.Core.Coercion.splitForAllCo_maybe`. We could theoretically apply the new
naming convention here, but then we'd have to figure out how to disambiguate
`Type`-splitting functions from `Coercion`-splitting functions. Ultimately,
the `Coercion`-splitting functions aren't used nearly as much as the
`Type`-splitting functions, so I decided to leave the former alone.
This is purely refactoring and should cause no change in behavior.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Use tcSplitForAllInvisTyVars (not tcSplitForAllTyVars) in more places
The use of `tcSplitForAllTyVars` in `tcDataFamInstHeader` was the immediate
cause of #18939, and replacing it with a new `tcSplitForAllInvisTyVars`
function (which behaves like `tcSplitForAllTyVars` but only splits invisible
type variables) fixes the issue. However, this led me to realize that _most_
uses of `tcSplitForAllTyVars` in GHC really ought to be
`tcSplitForAllInvisTyVars` instead. While I was in town, I opted to replace
most uses of `tcSplitForAllTys` with `tcSplitForAllTysInvis` to reduce the
likelihood of such bugs in the future.
I say "most uses" above since there is one notable place where we _do_ want
to use `tcSplitForAllTyVars`: in `GHC.Tc.Validity.forAllTyErr`, which produces
the "`Illegal polymorphic type`" error message if you try to use a higher-rank
`forall` without having `RankNTypes` enabled. Here, we really do want to split
all `forall`s, not just invisible ones, or we run the risk of giving an
inaccurate error message in the newly added `T18939_Fail` test case.
I debated at some length whether I wanted to name the new function
`tcSplitForAllInvisTyVars` or `tcSplitForAllTyVarsInvisible`, but in the end,
I decided that I liked the former better. For consistency's sake, I opted to
rename the existing `splitPiTysInvisible` and `splitPiTysInvisibleN` functions
to `splitInvisPiTys` and `splitPiTysInvisN`, respectively, so that they use the
same naming convention. As a consequence, this ended up requiring a `haddock`
submodule bump.
Fixes #18939.

Their strictness signatures said the primops are strict in their first

The regression test `T8256` actually tests for laziness in the first

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Demand: Interleave usage and strictness demands (#18903)
As outlined in #18903, interleaving usage and strictness demands not
only means a more compact demand representation, but also allows us to
express demands that we weren't easily able to express before.
Call demands are *relative* in the sense that a call demand `Cn(cd)`
on `g` says "`g` is called `n` times. *Whenever `g` is called*, the
result is used according to `cd`". Example from #18903:
```hs
h :: Int -> Int
h m =
let g :: Int -> (Int,Int)
g 1 = (m, 0)
g n = (2 * n, 2 `div` n)
{-# NOINLINE g #-}
in case m of
1 -> 0
2 -> snd (g m)
_ -> uncurry (+) (g m)
```
Without the interleaved representation, we would just get `L` for the
strictness demand on `g`. Now we are able to express that whenever
`g` is called, its second component is used strictly in denoting `g`
by `1C1(P(1P(U),SP(U)))`. This would allow Nested CPR to unbox the
division, for example.
Fixes #18903.
While fixing regressions, I also discovered and fixed #18957.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">dwarf: Apply info table offset consistently
Previously we failed to apply the info table offset to the aranges and
DIEs, meaning that we often failed to unwind in gdb. For some reason
this only seemed to manifest in the RTS's Cmm closures. Nevertheless,
now we can unwind completely up to `main`

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">[Sized Cmm] properly retain sizes.
This replaces all Word<N> = W<N># Word# and Int<N> = I<N># Int# with
Word<N> = W<N># Word<N># and Int<N> = I<N># Int<N>#, thus providing us
with properly sized primitives in the codegenerator instead of pretending
they are all full machine words.
This came up when implementing darwinpcs for arm64. The darwinpcs reqires
us to pack function argugments in excess of registers on the stack. While
most procedure call standards (pcs) assume arguments are just passed in
8 byte slots; and thus the caller does not know the exact signature to make
the call, darwinpcs requires us to adhere to the prototype, and thus have
the correct sizes. If we specify CInt in the FFI call, it should correspond
to the C int, and not just be Word sized, when it's only half the size.
This does change the expected output of T16402 but the new result is no
less correct as it eliminates the narrowing (instead of the `and` as was
previously done).
Bumps the array, bytestring, text, and binary submodules.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">RTS: Fix failed inlining of copy_tag.
On windows using gcc-10 gcc failed to inline copy_tag into evacuate.
To fix this we now set the always_inline attribute for the various
copy* functions in Evac.c. The main motivation here is not the
overhead of the function call, but rather that this allows the code
to "specialize" for the size of the closure we copy which is often
known at compile time.
An earlier commit also tried to avoid evacuate_large inlining. But
didn't quite succeed. So I also marked evacuate_large as noinline.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix toArgRep to support 64-bit reps on all systems
[This is @Ericson2314 writing a commit message for @hsyl20's patch.]
(Progress towards #11953, #17377, #17375)
`Int64Rep` and `Word64Rep` are currently broken on 64-bit systems. This
is because they should use "native arg rep" but instead use "large arg
rep" as they do on 32-bit systems, which is either a non-concept or a
128-bit rep depending on one's vantage point.
Now, these reps currently aren't used during 64-bit compilation, so the
brokenness isn't observed, but I don't think that constitutes reasons
not to fix it. Firstly, the linked issues there is a clearly expressed
desire to use explicit-bitwidth constructs in more places. Secondly, per
[1], there are other bugs that *do* manifest from not threading
explicit-bitwidth information all the way through the compilation
pipeline. One can therefore view this as one piece of the larger effort
to do that, improve ergnomics, and squash remaining bugs.
Also, this is needed for !3658. I could just merge this as part of that,
but I'm keen on merging fixes "as they are ready" so the fixes that
aren't ready are isolated and easier to debug.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">rts/m32: Refactor handling of allocator seeding
Previously, in an attempt to reduce fragmentation, each new allocator
would map a region of M32_MAX_PAGES fresh pages to seed itself. However,
this ends up being extremely wasteful since it turns out that we often
use fewer than this. Consequently, these pages end up getting freed
which, ends up fragmenting our address space more than than we would
have if we had naively allocated pages on-demand.
Here we refactor m32 to avoid this waste while achieving the
fragmentation mitigation previously desired. In particular, we move all
page allocation into the global m32_alloc_page, which will pull a page
from the free page pool. If the free page pool is empty we then refill
it by allocating a region of M32_MAP_PAGES and adding them to the pool.
Furthermore, we do away with the initial seeding entirely. That is, the
allocator starts with no active pages: pages are rather allocated on an
as-needed basis.
On the whole this ends up being a pleasingly simple change,
simultaneously making m32 more efficient, more robust, and simpler.
Fixes #18980.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Remove flattening variables
This patch redesigns the flattener to simplify type family applications
directly instead of using flattening meta-variables and skolems. The key new
innovation is the CanEqLHS type and the new CEqCan constraint (Ct). A CanEqLHS
is either a type variable or exactly-saturated type family application; either
can now be rewritten using a CEqCan constraint in the inert set.
Because the flattener no longer reduces all type family applications to
variables, there was some performance degradation if a lengthy type family
application is now flattened over and over (not making progress). To
compensate, this patch contains some extra optimizations in the flattener,
leading to a number of performance improvements.
Close #18875.
Close #18910.
There are many extra parts of the compiler that had to be affected in writing
this patch:
* The family-application cache (formerly the flat-cache) sometimes stores
coercions built from Given inerts. When these inerts get kicked out, we must
kick out from the cache as well. (This was, I believe, true previously, but
somehow never caused trouble.) Kicking out from the cache requires adding a
filterTM function to TrieMap.
* This patch obviates the need to distinguish "blocking" coercion holes from
non-blocking ones (which, previously, arose from CFunEqCans). There is thus
some simplification around coercion holes.
* Extra commentary throughout parts of the code I read through, to preserve
the knowledge I gained while working.
* A change in the pure unifier around unifying skolems with other types.
Unifying a skolem now leads to SurelyApart, not MaybeApart, as documented
in Note [Binding when looking up instances] in GHC.Core.InstEnv.
* Some more use of MCoercion where appropriate.
* Previously, class-instance lookup automatically noticed that e.g. C Int was
a "unifier" to a target [W] C (F Bool), because the F Bool was flattened to
a variable. Now, a little more care must be taken around checking for
unifying instances.
* Previously, tcSplitTyConApp_maybe would split (Eq a => a). This is silly,
because (=>) is not a tycon in Haskell. Fixed now, but there are some
knock-on changes in e.g. TrieMap code and in the canonicaliser.
* New function anyFreeVarsOf{Type,Co} to check whether a free variable
satisfies a certain predicate.
* Type synonyms now remember whether or not they are "forgetful"; a forgetful
synonym drops at least one argument. This is useful when flattening; see
flattenView.
* The pattern-match completeness checker invokes the solver. This invocation
might need to look through newtypes when checking representational equality.
Thus, the desugarer needs to keep track of the in-scope variables to know
what newtype constructors are in scope. I bet this bug was around before but
never noticed.
* Extra-constraints wildcards are no longer simplified before printing.
See Note [Do not simplify ConstraintHoles] in GHC.Tc.Solver.
* Whether or not there are Given equalities has become slightly subtler.
See the new HasGivenEqs datatype.
* Note [Type variable cycles in Givens] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical
explains a significant new wrinkle in the new approach.
* See Note [What might match later?] in GHC.Tc.Solver.Interact, which
explains the fix to #18910.
* The inert_count field of InertCans wasn't actually used, so I removed
it.
Though I (Richard) did the implementation, Simon PJ was very involved
in design and review.
This updates the Haddock submodule to avoid #18932 by adding
a type signature.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Fix kind inference for data types. Again.
This patch fixes several aspects of kind inference for data type
declarations, especially data /instance/ declarations
Specifically
1. In kcConDecls/kcConDecl make it clear that the tc_res_kind argument
is only used in the H98 case; and in that case there is no result
kind signature; and hence no need for the disgusting splitPiTys in
kcConDecls (now thankfully gone).
The GADT case is a bit different to before, and much nicer.
This is what fixes #18891.
See Note [kcConDecls: kind-checking data type decls]
2. Do not look at the constructor decls of a data/newtype instance
in tcDataFamInstanceHeader. See GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance
Note [Kind inference for data family instances]. This was a
new realisation that arose when doing (1)
This causes a few knock-on effects in the tests suite, because
we require more information than before in the instance /header/.
New user-manual material about this in "Kind inference in data type
declarations" and "Kind inference for data/newtype instance
declarations".
3. Minor improvement in kcTyClDecl, combining GADT and H98 cases
4. Fix #14111 and #8707 by allowing the header of a data instance
to affect kind inferece for the the data constructor signatures;
as described at length in Note [GADT return types] in GHC.Tc.TyCl
This led to a modest refactoring of the arguments (and argument
order) of tcConDecl/tcConDecls.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">CodeGen: Make folds User/DefinerOfRegs INLINEABLE.
Reduces allocation for the test case I was looking at by about 1.2%.
Mostly from avoiding allocation of some folding functions which turn
into let-no-escape bindings which just reuse their environment instead.
We also force inlining in a few key places in CmmSink which helps a bit
more.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Cmm.Sink: Optimize retaining of assignments, live sets.
Sinking requires us to track live local regs after each
cmm statement. We used to do this via "Set LocalReg".
However we can replace this with a solution based on IntSet
which is overall more efficient without losing much. The thing
we lose is width of the variables, which isn't used by the sinking
pass anyway.
I also reworked how we keep assignments to regs mentioned in
skipped assignments. I put the details into
Note [Keeping assignemnts mentioned in skipped RHSs].
The gist of it is instead of keeping track of it via the use count
which is a `IntMap Int` we now use the live regs set (IntSet) which
is quite a bit faster.
I think it also matches the semantics a lot better. The skipped
(not discarded) assignment does in fact keep the regs on it's rhs
alive so keeping track of this in the live set seems like the clearer
solution as well.
Improves allocations for T3294 by yet another 1%.

Optimization either returns Nothing if nothing is to be done or

`cmmExpr`. We usually inspect this element so the thunk gets forced
not long after.
We might eliminate it as dead code once in a blue moon but that's
not a case worth optimizing for.
Overall the impact of this is rather low. As Cmm.Opt doesn't allocate

Consider the following code:
proc (C x y) -> ...
Before this patch, the evidence binding for the Arrow dictionary was
attached to the C pattern:
proc (C x y) { $dArrow = ... } -> ...
But then when we desugar this, we use arrow operations ("arr", ">>>"...)
specialised for this arrow:
let
arr_xy = arr $dArrow -- <-- Not in scope!
...
in
arr_xy (\(C x y) { $dArrow = ... } -> ...)
This patch allows arrow operations to be type-checked before the proc
itself, avoiding this issue.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">DmdAnal: Annotate top-level function bindings with demands (#18894)
It's useful to annotate a non-exported top-level function like `g` in
```hs
module Lib (h) where
g :: Int -> Int -> (Int,Int)
g m 1 = (m, 0)
g m n = (2 * m, 2 `div` n)
{-# NOINLINE g #-}
h :: Int -> Int
h 1 = 0
h m
| odd m = snd (g m 2)
| otherwise = uncurry (+) (g 2 m)
```
with its demand `UCU(CS(P(1P(U),SP(U))`, which tells us that whenever `g` was
called, the second component of the returned pair was evaluated strictly.
Since #18903 we do so for local functions, where we can see all calls.
For top-level functions, we can assume that all *exported* functions are
demanded according to `topDmd` and thus get sound demands for
non-exported top-level functions.
The demand on `g` is crucial information for Nested CPR, which may the
go on and unbox `g` for the second pair component. That is true even if
that pair component may diverge, as is the case for the call site `g 13
0`, which throws a div-by-zero exception.
In `T18894b`, you can even see the new demand annotation enabling us to
eta-expand a function that we wouldn't be able to eta-expand without
Call Arity.
We only track bindings of function type in order not to risk huge compile-time
regressions, see `isInterestingTopLevelFn`.
There was a CoreLint check that rejected strict demand annotations on
recursive or top-level bindings, which seems completely unjustified.
All the cases I investigated were fine, so I removed it.
Fixes #18894.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimise nullary type constructor usage
During the compilation of programs GHC very frequently deals with
the `Type` type, which is a synonym of `TYPE 'LiftedRep`. This patch
teaches GHC to avoid expanding the `Type` synonym (and other nullary
type synonyms) during type comparisons, saving a good amount of work.
This optimisation is described in `Note [Comparing nullary type
synonyms]`.
To maximize the impact of this optimisation, we introduce a few
special-cases to reduce `TYPE 'LiftedRep` to `Type`. See
`Note [Prefer Type over TYPE 'LiftedPtrRep]`.
Closes #17958.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Move Unit related fields from DynFlags to HscEnv
The unit database cache, the home unit and the unit state were stored in
DynFlags while they ought to be stored in the compiler session state
(HscEnv). This patch fixes this.
It introduces a new UnitEnv type that should be used in the future to
handle separate unit environments (especially host vs target units).

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimize dumping of consecutive whitespace.
The naive way of putting out n characters of indent would be something
like `hPutStr hdl (replicate n ' ')`. However this is quite inefficient
as we allocate an absurd number of strings consisting of simply spaces
as we don't cache them.
To improve on this we now track if we can simply write ascii spaces via
hPutBuf instead. This is the case when running with -ddump-to-file where
we force the encoding to be UTF8.
This avoids both the cost of going through encoding as well as avoiding
allocation churn from all the white space. Instead we simply use hPutBuf
on a preallocated unlifted string.
When dumping stg like this:
> nofib/spectral/simple/Main.hs -fforce-recomp -ddump-stg-final -ddump-to-file -c +RTS -s
Allocations went from 1,778 MB to 1,702MB. About a 4% reduction of
allocation! I did not measure the difference in runtime but expect it
to be similar.
Bumps the haddock submodule since the interface of GHC's Pretty
slightly changed.

<pre class="commit-message" style="white-space: pre-wrap; margin: 0;">Optimise nullary type constructor usage
During the compilation of programs GHC very frequently deals with
the `Type` type, which is a synonym of `TYPE 'LiftedRep`. This patch
teaches GHC to avoid expanding the `Type` synonym (and other nullary
type synonyms) during type comparisons, saving a good amount of work.
This optimisation is described in `Note [Comparing nullary type
synonyms]`.
To maximize the impact of this optimisation, we introduce a few
special-cases to reduce `TYPE 'LiftedRep` to `Type`. See
`Note [Prefer Type over TYPE 'LiftedPtrRep]`.
Closes #17958.

This gives a small increase in performance under most circumstances.
For single threaded GC the improvement is on the order of 1-2%.
For multi threaded GC the results are quite noisy but seem to
fall into the same ballpark.
