The `asBox` function is intended to store exactly the closure which the
user passes to it. Placing a cost centre on asBox introduces a thunk,
which violates this expectation and can change the result of using asBox
when profiling is enabled.
See #25212 for more details and ample opportunity to discuss if this is
a bug or not.

Metric Increase:
MultilineStringsPerf
This commit replaces the manual string lexing logic with native Alex
lexing syntax. This aligns the lexer much closer to the Haskell Report,
making it easier to see how the implementation and spec relate. This
slightly increases memory usage when compiling multiline strings because
we now have two distinct phases: lexing the multiline string with Alex
and post-processing the string afterwards. Before, these were done at
the same time, but separating them allows us to push as much logic into
normal Alex lexing as possible.
Since multiline strings are a new feature, this regression shouldn't be
too noticeable. We can optimize this over time.

This behaviour is problematic for the principle reason that `import
Prelude` may not refer to the `base` package, and in which case
importing an entirely unrelated module causing your implicit prelude to
leave the scope is extremely surprising. See the added test for this
example. Discussion on #17045.
The secondary reason for reverting this patch is that "base" can't be a
wired in package any more (see #24903), so we have to remove special
logic which singles out base from the compiler.
The rule for implicit shadowing is now simply:
* If you write import Prelude (..) then you don't get an implicit prelude import
* If you write import "foobar" Prelude (..) for all pkgs foobar,
you get an implicit import of prelude.
If you want to write a package import of Prelude, then you can enable
`NoImplicitPrelude` for the module in question to recover the behaviour
of ghc-9.2-9.10.

The COMPILING_BASE_PACKAGE macro is concerned with issues defining
symbols and using symbols in the same compilation unit. However, these
symbols now exist in ghc-internal rather than base, so we should rename
the macro accordingly.
The code is guards is likely never used as we never produce windows DLLs
but it is simpler to just perform the renaming for now.
These days there is little doubt that this macro defined in this ad-hoc
manner would be permitted to exist, but these days are not those days.

GHC ticket: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/17244
CLC discussion: https://groups.google.com/g/haskell-core-libraries/c/q3zHLmzBa5E
This warning was implemented as part of the migration to making
Data.List monomorphic again (and to be used like Data.Set, Data.Map
etc). That doesn't seem like it happened, and I imagine that the current
CLC would require a new proposal anyway in order to do that now. It's
not clear in any case what "future core libraries changes" we are
waiting to happen before this warning can be removed.
Given the first phase of the proposal has lasted 5 years it doesn't seem
that anyone is motivated to carry the proposal to completion. It does
seem a bit unnecessary to include a warning in the compiler about
"future changes to the module" when there's no timeline or volunteer to
implement these changes.
The removal of this warning was discussed again at:
https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/269
During the discussion there was no new enthusiasm to move onto the next
stages of the proposal so we are removing the warning to unblock the
reinstallable "base" project (#24903)

This commit adds support for 128 bit wide SIMD vectors and vector
operations to GHC's X86 native code generator.
Main changes:
- Introduction of vector formats (`GHC.CmmToAsm.Format`)
- Introduction of 128-bit virtual register (`GHC.Platform.Reg`),
and removal of unused Float virtual register.
- Refactor of `GHC.Platform.Reg.Class.RegClass`: it now only contains
two classes, `RcInteger` (for general purpose registers) and `RcFloatOrVector`
(for registers that can be used for scalar floating point values as well
as vectors).
- Modify `GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.Instr.regUsageOfInstr` to keep track
of which format each register is used at, so that the register
allocator can know if it needs to spill the entire vector register
or just the lower 64 bits.
- Modify spill/load/reg-2-reg code to account for vector registers
(`GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.Instr.{mkSpillInstr, mkLoadInstr, mkRegRegMoveInstr, takeRegRegMoveInstr}`).
- Modify the register allocator code (`GHC.CmmToAsm.Reg.*`) to propagate
the format we are storing in any given register, for instance changing
`Reg` to `RegFormat` or `GlobalReg` to `GlobalRegUse`.
- Add logic to lower vector `MachOp`s to X86 assembly
(see `GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.CodeGen`)
- Minor cleanups to genprimopcode, to remove the llvm_only attribute
which is no longer applicable.
Tests for this feature are provided in the "testsuite/tests/simd" directory.
Fixes #7741
Keeping track of register formats adds a small memory overhead to the
register allocator (in particular, regUsageOfInstr now allocates more
to keep track of the `Format` each register is used at). This explains
the following metric increases.

This commit updates genapply to use xmm, ymm and zmm registers, for
stg_ap_v16/stg_ap_v32/stg_ap_v64, respectively.
It also updates the Cmm lexer and parser to produce Cmm vectors rather
than 128/256/512 bit wide scalars for V16/V32/V64, removing bits128,
bits256 and bits512 in favour of vectors.
The Cmm Lint check is weakened for vectors, as (in practice, e.g. on X86)
it is okay to use a single vector register to hold multiple different
types of data, and we don't know just from seeing e.g. "XMM1" how to
interpret the 128 bits of data within.

This adds proper MachOps for broadcast instructions, allowing us to
produce better code for broadcasting a value than simply packing that
value (doing many vector insertions in a row).
These are lowered in the X86 NCG and LLVM backends. In the LLVM backend,
it uses the previously introduced shuffle instructions.

This commit fixes the handling of signed zero in floating-point vector
negation.
A slight hack was introduced to work around the fact that Cmm doesn't
currently have a notion of signed floating point literals
(see get_float_broadcast_value_reg). This can be removed once CmmFloat
can express the value -0.0.
The simd006 test has been updated to use a stricter notion of equality
of floating-point values, which ensure the validity of this change.

The job of evalArgs is to ensure each argument is put into a temporary
register, so that it can then be loaded directly into one of the
argument registers for the C call, without the generated code clobbering
any other register used for argument passing.
However, if we promote arguments after calling evalArgs, there is the
possibility that the code used for the promotion will clobber a register,
defeating the work of evalArgs.
To avoid this, we first promote arguments, and only then call evalArgs.

This commit simplifies the argument loading code by making the
assumption that it is safe to directly load the argument into register,
because doing so will not clobber any previous assignments.
This assumption is borne from the use of 'evalArgs', which evaluates
any arguments which might necessitate non-trivial code generation into
separate temporary registers.

!13042
Part of #T25090
If the flag `-fprefer-byte-code` is given when compiling a module
containing TH, GHC will use Core bindings stored in interfaces to
compile and link bytecode for splices.
This was only implemented for `--make` mode initially, so this commit
adds the same mechanism to oneshot mode (`-c`).
When an interface is loaded into the EPS in `loadInterface` that has
dehydrated Core bindings, an entry is added to the new field
`eps_iface_bytecode`, containing an IO action that produces a bytecode
`Linkable`, lazily processing the `mi_extra_decls` by calling
`loadIfaceByteCode`.
When Template Haskell dependencies are resolved in `getLinkDeps`, this
action is looked up after loading a module's interface.
If it exists, the action is evaluated and the bytecode is added to the
set of `Linkable`s used for execution of the splice; otherwise it falls
back on the traditional object file.

Downstream in ghcup-ci we use the CONFIGURE_ARGS variable to determine
how to setup all the different jobs.
On the downstream trigger this was being inherited from the default
setting in .gitlab.yml file.
Therefore this led to job failures as the necessary CONFIGURE_ARGS were
not being passed to the configure script when installing the bindist.
See docs:
* https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#inherit
* https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#triggerforward
1. inherit:variables:fals
- This stops the global variables being inherited into the job and
hence forwarded onto the downstream job.
2. trigger:forward:*
- yaml_variables: true (default) pass yaml variables to downstream,
this is important to pass the upstream pipeline id to downstream.
- pipeline_variables: false (default) but don't pass pipeline
variables (normal environment variables).
