Don't override proc CafInfos in ticky builds

Fixes #17947

When we have a ticky label for a proc, IdLabels for the ticky counter
and proc entry share the same Name. This caused overriding proc CafInfos
with the ticky CafInfos (i.e. NoCafRefs) during SRT analysis.

We now ignore the ticky labels when building SRTMaps. This makes sense
because:

- When building the current module they don't need to be in SRTMaps as
  they're initialized as non-CAFFY (see mkRednCountsLabel), so they
  don't take part in the dependency analysis and they're never added to
  SRTs.

  (Reminder: a "dependency" in the SRT analysis is a CAFFY dependency,
  non-CAFFY uses are not considered as dependencies for the algorithm)

- They don't appear in the interfaces as they're not exported, so it
  doesn't matter for cross-module concerns whether they're in the SRTMap
  or not.

See also the new Note [Ticky labels in SRT analysis].

Fix an tricky specialiser loop

Issue #17151 was a very tricky example of a bug in which the
specialiser accidentally constructs a recurive dictionary,
so that everything turns into bottom.

I have fixed variants of this bug at least twice before:
see Note [Avoiding loops].  It was a bit of a struggle
to isolate the problem, greatly aided by the work that
Alexey Kuleshevich did in distilling a test case.

Once I'd understood the problem, it was not difficult to fix,
though it did lead me a bit of refactoring in specImports.

This refactors DictBinds into a data type rather than a pair.

rts: ProfHeap: Fix memory leak when not compiled with profiling

If we're doing heap profiling on an unprofiled executable we keep
allocating new space in initEra via nextEra on each profiler run but we
don't have a corresponding freeEra call.

We do free the last era in endHeapProfiling but previous eras will have
been overwritten by initEra and will never get free()ed.

simplifier: Kill off ufKeenessFactor

We used to have another factor, ufKeenessFactor, which would scale the
discounts before they were subtracted from the size. This was justified
with the following comment:

  -- We multiple the raw discounts (args_discount and result_discount)
  -- ty opt_UnfoldingKeenessFactor because the former have to do with
  --  *size* whereas the discounts imply that there's some extra
  --  *efficiency* to be gained (e.g. beta reductions, case reductions)
  -- by inlining.

However, this is highly suspect since it means that we subtract a
*scaled* size from an absolute size, resulting in crazy (e.g. negative)
scores in some cases (#15304). We consequently killed off
ufKeenessFactor and bumped up the ufUseThreshold to compensate.

Adjustment of unfolding use threshold
=====================================

Since this removes a discount from our inlining heuristic, I revisited our
default choice of -funfolding-use-threshold to minimize the change in
overall inlining behavior. Specifically, I measured runtime allocations
and executable size of nofib and the testsuite performance tests built
using compilers (and core libraries) built with several values of
-funfolding-use-threshold.

This comes as a result of a quantitative comparison of testsuite
performance and code size as a function of ufUseThreshold, comparing
GHC trees using values of 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100. The test set
consisted of nofib and the testsuite performance tests.
A full summary of these measurements are found in the description of
!2608

Comparing executable sizes (relative to the base commit) across all
nofib tests, we see that sizes are similar to the baseline:

            gmean      min      max   median
thresh
50         -6.36%   -7.04%   -4.82%   -6.46%
60         -5.04%   -5.97%   -3.83%   -5.11%
70         -2.90%   -3.84%   -2.31%   -2.92%
80         -0.75%   -2.16%   -0.42%   -0.73%
90         +0.24%   -0.41%   +0.55%   +0.26%
100        +1.36%   +0.80%   +1.64%   +1.37%
baseline   +0.00%   +0.00%   +0.00%   +0.00%

Likewise, looking at runtime allocations we see that 80 gives slightly
better optimisation than the baseline:

            gmean      min      max   median
thresh
50         +0.16%   -0.16%   +4.43%   +0.00%
60         +0.09%   -0.00%   +3.10%   +0.00%
70         +0.04%   -0.09%   +2.29%   +0.00%
80         +0.02%   -1.17%   +2.29%   +0.00%
90         -0.02%   -2.59%   +1.86%   +0.00%
100        +0.00%   -2.59%   +7.51%   -0.00%
baseline   +0.00%   +0.00%   +0.00%   +0.00%

Finally, I had to add a NOINLINE in T4306 to ensure that `upd` is
worker-wrappered as the test expects. This makes me wonder whether the
inlining heuristic is now too liberal as `upd` is quite a large
function. The same measure was taken in T12600.

             Wall clock time compiling Cabal with -O0
thresh       50     60     70     80     90      100    baseline
build-Cabal  93.88  89.58  92.59  90.09  100.26  94.81  89.13

Also, this change happens to avoid the spurious test output in
`plugin-recomp-change` and `plugin-recomp-change-prof` (see #17308).

Make NoExtCon fields strict

This changes every unused TTG extension constructor to be strict in
its field so that the pattern-match coverage checker is smart enough
any such constructors are unreachable in pattern matches. This lets
us remove nearly every use of `noExtCon` in the GHC API. The only
ones we cannot remove are ones underneath uses of `ghcPass`, but that
is only because GHC 8.8's and 8.10's coverage checkers weren't smart
enough to perform this kind of reasoning. GHC HEAD's coverage
checker, on the other hand, _is_ smart enough, so we guard these uses
of `noExtCon` with CPP for now.

Bumps the `haddock` submodule.

Fixes #17992.

Handle promoted data constructors in typeToLHsType correctly

Instead of using `nlHsTyVar`, which hardcodes `NotPromoted`, have
`typeToLHsType` pick between `Promoted` and `NotPromoted` by checking
if a type constructor is promoted using `isPromotedDataCon`.

Fixes #18020.

iserv: Don't pass --export-dynamic on FreeBSD

This is definitely a hack but it's probably the best we can do for now.
Hadrian does the right thing here by passing --export-dynamic only to
the linker.

Fix CNF handling in compacting GC

Fixes #17937

Previously compacting GC simply ignored CNFs. This is mostly fine as
most (see "What about small compacts?" below) CNF objects don't have
outgoing pointers, and are "large" (allocated in large blocks) and large
objects are not moved or compacted.

However if we do GC *during* sharing-preserving compaction then the CNF
will have a hash table mapping objects that have been moved to the CNF
to their location in the CNF, to be able to preserve sharing.

This case is handled in the copying collector, in `scavenge_compact`,
where we evacuate hash table entries and then rehash the table.

Compacting GC ignored this case.

We now visit CNFs in all generations when threading pointers to the
compacted heap and thread hash table keys. A visited CNF is added to the
list `nfdata_chain`. After compaction is done, we re-visit the CNFs in
that list and rehash the tables.

The overhead is minimal: the list is static in `Compact.c`, and link
field is added to `StgCompactNFData` closure. Programs that don't use
CNFs should not be affected.

To test this CNF tests are now also run in a new way 'compacting_gc',
which just passes `-c` to the RTS, enabling compacting GC for the oldest
generation. Before this patch the result would be:

    Unexpected failures:
       compact_gc.run          compact_gc [bad exit code (139)] (compacting_gc)
       compact_huge_array.run  compact_huge_array [bad exit code (1)] (compacting_gc)

With this patch all tests pass. I can also pass `-c -DS` without any
failures.

What about small compacts? Small CNFs are still not handled by the
compacting GC. However so far I'm unable to write a test that triggers a
runtime panic ("update_fwd: unknown/strange object") by allocating a
small CNF in a compated heap. It's possible that I'm missing something
and it's not possible to have a small CNF.

Special case `isConstraintKindCon` on `AlgTyCon`

Previously, the `tyConUnique` record selector would unfold into a huge
case expression that would be inlined in all call sites, such as the
`INLINE`-annotated `coreView`, see #18026. `constraintKindTyConKey` only
occurs as the `Unique` of an `AlgTyCon` anyway, so we can make the code

Significant refactor of Lint

This refactoring of Lint was triggered by #17923, which is
fixed by this patch.

The main change is this.  Instead of
   lintType :: Type -> LintM LintedKind
we now have
   lintType :: Type -> LintM LintedType

Previously, all of typeKind was effectively duplicate in lintType.
Moreover, since we have an ambient substitution, we still had to
apply the substition here and there, sometimes more than once. It
was all very tricky, in the end, and made my head hurt.

Now, lintType returns a fully linted type, with all substitutions
performed on it.  This is much simpler.

The same thing is needed for Coercions.  Instead of
  lintCoercion :: OutCoercion
               -> LintM (LintedKind, LintedKind,
                         LintedType, LintedType, Role)
we now have
  lintCoercion :: Coercion -> LintM LintedCoercion

Much simpler!  The code is shorter and less bug-prone.

There are a lot of knock on effects.  But life is now better.

   Guide, and
2. Makes GHC actually implement that specification by using
   `conLikeUserTyVarBinders` in `mkOneRecordSelector` to preserve the
   order and specificity of type variables written by the user.

Zero out pinned block alignment slop when profiling

The heap profiler currently cannot traverse pinned blocks because of
alignment slop. This used to just be a minor annoyance as the whole block
is accounted into a special cost center rather than the respective object's
CCS, cf. #7275. However for the new root profiler we would like to be able
to visit _every_ closure on the heap. We need to do this so we can get rid
of the current 'flip' bit hack in the heap traversal code.

Since info pointers are always non-zero we can in principle skip all the
slop in the profiler if we can rely on it being zeroed. This assumption
caused problems in the past though, commit a586b33f8e ("rts: Correct
handling of LARGE ARR_WORDS in LDV profiler"), part of !1118, tried to use
the same trick for BF_LARGE objects but neglected to take into account that
shrink*Array# functions don't ensure that slop is zeroed when not
compiling with profiling.

Later, commit 0c114c6599 ("Handle large ARR_WORDS in heap census (fix
as we will only be assuming slop is zeroed when profiling is on.

This commit also reduces the ammount of slop we introduce in the first
place by calculating the needed alignment before doing the allocation for
small objects where we know the next available address. For large objects
we don't know how much alignment we'll have to do yet since those details
are hidden behind the allocateMightFail function so there we continue to
allocate the maximum additional words we'll need to do the alignment.

So we don't have to duplicate all this logic in the cmm code we pull it
into the RTS allocatePinned function instead.

rts: Fix nomenclature in OVERWRITING_CLOSURE macros

The additional commentary introduced by commit 8916e64e5437 ("Implement
shrinkSmallMutableArray# and resizeSmallMutableArray#.") unfortunately got
this wrong. We set 'prim' to true in overwritingClosureOfs because we
_don't_ want to call LDV_recordDead().

The reason is because of this "inherently used" distinction made in the LDV
profiler so I rename the variable to be more appropriate.

Bump template-haskell version to 2.17.0.0

This requires bumping the `exceptions` and `text` submodules to bring

Note that the new `text` commit includes a fair number of additions
to the Haddocks in that library. As a result, Haddock has to do more
work during the `haddock.Cabal` test case, increasing the number of
allocations it requires. Therefore,

rts: ProfHeap: Fix wrong time in last heap profile sample

We've had this longstanding issue in the heap profiler, where the time of
the last sample in the profile is sometimes way off causing the rendered
graph to be quite useless for long runs.

It seems to me the problem is that we use mut_user_time() for the last
sample as opposed to getRTSStats(), which we use when calling heapProfile()
in GC.c.

The former is equivalent to getProcessCPUTime() but the latter does
some additional stuff:

    getProcessCPUTime() - end_init_cpu - stats.gc_cpu_ns -
    stats.nonmoving_gc_cpu_ns

So to fix this just use getRTSStats() in both places.

Add missing addInScope call for letrec binders in OccurAnal

This fixes #18044, where a shadowed variable was incorrectly substituted
by the binder swap on the RHS of a floated-in letrec. This can only
happen when the uniques line up *just* right, so writing a regression
test would be very difficult, but at least the fix is small and
straightforward.

Mark DataCon wrappers CONLIKE

Now that DataCon wrappers don’t inline until phase 0 (see commit
b78cc64e923716ac0512c299f42d4d0012306c05), it’s important that
case-of-known-constructor and RULE matching be able to see saturated
applications of DataCon wrappers in unfoldings. Making them conlike is a
natural way to do it, since they are, in fact, precisely the sort of
thing the CONLIKE pragma exists to solve.

Fixes #18012.

This also bumps the version of the parsec submodule to incorporate a
patch that avoids a metric increase on the haddock perf tests. The
increase was not really a flaw in this patch, as parsec was implicitly
relying on inlining heuristics. The patch to parsec just adds some
INLINABLE pragmas, and we get a nice performance bump out of it (well
beyond the performance we lost from this patch).

Fix tab-completion for :break (#17989)

In tab-completion for the `:break` command, only those
identifiers should be shown, that are accepted in the
`:break` command. Hence these identifiers must be

- defined in an interpreted module
- top-level
- currently in scope
- listed in a `ModBreaks` value as a possible breakpoint.

The identifiers my be qualified or unqualified.

To get all possible top-level breakpoints for tab-completeion
with the correct qualification do:

1. Build the  list called `pifsBreaks` of all pairs of
(Identifier, module-filename) from the `ModBreaks` values.
Here all identifiers are unqualified.

2. Build the list called `pifInscope` of all pairs of
(Identifiers, module-filename) with identifiers from
the `GlobalRdrEnv`. Take only those identifiers that are
in scope and have the  correct prefix.
Here the identifiers may be qualified.

3. From the `pifInscope` list seclect all pairs that can be
found in the `pifsBreaks` list, by comparing only the
unqualified part of the identifier.
The remaining identifiers can be used for tab-completion.

This ensures, that we show only identifiers, that can be used
in a `:break` command.

Do eager instantation in terms

This patch implements eager instantiation, a small but critical change
to the type inference engine, #17173.  The main change is this:

  When inferring types, always return an instantiated type
  (for now, deeply instantiated; in future shallowly instantiated)

There is more discussion in
https://www.tweag.io/posts/2020-04-02-lazy-eager-instantiation.html

There is quite a bit of refactoring in this patch:

* The ir_inst field of GHC.Tc.Utils.TcType.InferResultk
  has entirely gone.  So tcInferInst and tcInferNoInst have collapsed
  into tcInfer.

* Type inference of applications, via tcInferApp and
  tcInferAppHead, are substantially refactored, preparing
  the way for Quick Look impredicativity.

* New pure function GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.collectHsArgs and applyHsArgs
  are beatifully dual.  We can see the zipper!

* GHC.Tc.Gen.Expr.tcArgs is now much nicer; no longer needs to return
  a wrapper

* In HsExpr, HsTypeApp now contains the the actual type argument,
  and is used in desugaring, rather than putting it in a mysterious
  wrapper.

* I struggled a bit with good error reporting in
  Unify.matchActualFunTysPart. It's a little bit simpler than before,
  but still not great.

Some smaller things

* Rename tcPolyExpr --> tcCheckExpr
         tcMonoExpr --> tcLExpr
* tcPatSig moves from GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType to GHC.Tc.Gen.Pat

llvmGen: Remove -fast-llvm flag

Issue #18076 drew my attention to the undocumented `-fast-llvm` flag for
the LLVM code generator introduced in
22733532171330136d87533d523f565f2a4f102f. Speaking to Moritz about this,
the motivation for this flag was to avoid potential incompatibilities
between LLVM and the assembler/linker toolchain by making LLVM
responsible for machine-code generation.

Unfortunately, this cannot possibly work: the LLVM backend's mangler
performs a number of transforms on the assembler generated by LLVM that
are necessary for correctness. These are currently:

 * mangling Haskell functions' symbol types to be `object` instead of
   `function` on ELF platforms (necessary for tables-next-to-code)
 * mangling AVX instructions to ensure that we don't assume alignment
   (which LLVM otherwise does)
 * mangling Darwin's  subsections-via-symbols directives

Given that these are all necessary I don't believe that we can support
`-fast-llvm`. Let's rather remove it.

Trees That Grow refactor for `ConPat` and `CoPat`

- `ConPat{In,Out}` -> `ConPat`

- `CoPat` -> `XPat (CoPat ..)`

Note that `GHC.HS.*` still uses `HsWrap`, but only when `p ~ GhcTc`.
After this change, moving the type family instances out of `GHC.HS.*` is
sufficient to break the cycle.

Add XCollectPat class to decide how binders are collected from XXPat based on the pass.

Previously we did this with IsPass, but that doesn't work for Haddock's
DocNameI, and the constraint doesn't express what actual distinction is being
made. Perhaps a class for collecting binders more generally is in order, but we
haven't attempted this yet.

Pure refactor of code around ConPat

 - InPat/OutPat synonyms removed

 - rename several identifiers

 - redundant constraints removed

 - move extension field in ConPat to be first

 - make ConPat use record syntax more consistently

Fix T6145 (ConPatIn became ConPat)

Switch order on `GhcMake.IsBoot`

In !1798 we were requested to replace many `Bool`s with this data type.
But those bools had `False` meaning `NotBoot`, so the `Ord` instance
would be flipped if we use this data-type as-is.

Since the planned formally-`Bool` occurrences vastly outnumber the
current occurrences, we figured it would be better to conform the `Ord`
instance to how the `Bool` is used now, fixing any issues, rather than
fix them currently with the bigger refactor later in !1798. That way,
!1798 can be a "pure" refactor with no behavioral changes.

hadrian: always capture both stdout and stderr when running a builder fails

The idea being that when a builder('s command) fails, we quite likely want to
have all the information available to figure out why. Depending on the builder
_and_ the particular problem, the useful bits of information can be printed
on stdout or stderr.

We accomplish this by defining a simple wrapper for Shake's `cmd` function,
that just _always_ captures both streams in case the command returns a non-zero
exit code, and by using this wrapper everywhere in `hadrian/src/Builder.hs`.

Make boxed 1-tuples have known keys

Unlike other tuples, which use special syntax and are "known" by way
of a special `isBuiltInOcc_maybe` code path, boxed 1-tuples do not
use special syntax. Therefore, in order to make sure that the
internals of GHC are aware of the `data Unit a = Unit a` definition
in `GHC.Tuple`, we give `Unit` known keys. For the full details, see
`Note [One-tuples] (Wrinkle: Make boxed one-tuple names have known keys)`
in `GHC.Builtin.Types`.

* Rename InstalledPackageInfo into GenericUnitInfo

The name InstalledPackageInfo is only kept for alleged backward
compatibility reason in Cabal. ghc-boot has its own stripped down copy
of this datatype but it doesn't need to keep the name. Internally we
already use type aliases (UnitInfo in GHC, PackageCacheFormat in
ghc-pkg).

* Rename UnitInfo fields: add "unit" prefix and fix misleading names

* Add comments on every UnitInfo field

* Rename SourcePackageId into PackageId

"Package" already indicates that it's a "source package". Installed
package components are called units.

Converting between UnitInfo stored in package databases and UnitInfo as

It was difficult to understand and even more to modify (I wanted to
try to use a GADT for UnitId but fun deps got in the way).

The new code uses much more straightforward functions to convert between
the different representations. Much simpler.

Refactoring unit management code

Over the years the unit management code has been modified a lot to keep
up with changes in Cabal (e.g. support for several library components in
the same package), to integrate BackPack, etc. I found it very hard to
understand as the terminology wasn't consistent, was referring to past
concepts, etc.

The terminology is now explained as clearly as I could in the Note
"About Units" and the code is refactored to reflect it.

-------------------

Many names were misleading: UnitId is not an Id but could be a virtual
unit (an indefinite one instantiated on the fly), IndefUnitId
constructor may contain a definite instantiated unit, etc.

   * Rename IndefUnitId into InstantiatedUnit
   * Rename IndefModule into InstantiatedModule
   * Rename UnitId type into Unit
   * Rename IndefiniteUnitId constructor into VirtUnit
   * Rename DefiniteUnitId constructor into RealUnit
   * Rename packageConfigId into mkUnit
   * Rename getPackageDetails into unsafeGetUnitInfo
   * Rename InstalledUnitId into UnitId

Remove references to misleading ComponentId: a ComponentId is just an
indefinite unit-id to be instantiated.

   * Rename ComponentId into IndefUnitId
   * Rename ComponentDetails into UnitPprInfo
   * Fix display of UnitPprInfo with empty version: this is now used for
     units dynamically generated by BackPack

Generalize several types (Module, Unit, etc.) so that they can be used
with different unit identifier types: UnitKey, UnitId, Unit, etc.

   * GenModule: Module, InstantiatedModule and InstalledModule are now
     instances of this type
   * Generalize DefUnitId, IndefUnitId, Unit, InstantiatedUnit,
     PackageDatabase

Replace BackPack fake "hole" UnitId by a proper HoleUnit constructor.

Add basic support for UnitKey. They should be used more in the future to
avoid mixing them up with UnitId as we do now.

Arrow control operators have their own entries in the grammar, so they

Refactor PprDebug handling

If `-dppr-debug` is set, then PprUser and PprDump styles are silently
replaced with PprDebug style. This was done in `mkUserStyle` and
`mkDumpStyle` smart constructors. As a consequence they needed a
DynFlags parameter.

Now we keep the original PprUser and PprDump styles until they are used
to create an `SDocContext`. I.e. the substitution is only performed in
`initSDocContext`.

PmCheck: Pick up `EvVar`s bound in `HsWrapper`s for long-distance info

`HsWrapper`s introduce evidence bindings through `WpEvLam` which the
pattern-match coverage checker should be made aware of.

Failing to do so caused #18049, where the resulting impreciseness of
imcompleteness warnings seemingly contradicted with
`-Winaccessible-code`.

The solution is simple: Collect all the evidence binders of an
`HsWrapper` and add it to the ambient `Deltas` before desugaring
the wrapped expression.

But that means we pick up many more evidence bindings, even when they
wrap around code without a single pattern match to check! That regressed
`T3064` by over 300%, so now we are adding long-distance info lazily
through judicious use of `unsafeInterleaveIO`.

Fixes #18049.

Flatten nested casts in the simple optimizer

Normally, we aren’t supposed to generated any nested casts, since mkCast
takes care to flatten them, but the simple optimizer didn’t use mkCast,
so they could show up after inlining. This isn’t really a problem, since
the simplifier will clean them up immediately anyway, but it can clutter
the -ddump-ds output, and it’s an extremely easy fix.

Don't return a panic in tcNestedSplice

In GHC.Tc.Gen.Splice.tcNestedSplice we were returning a
typechecked expression of "panic". That is usually OK, because
the result is discarded.  But it happens that tcApp now looks at
the typechecked expression, trivially, to ask if it is tagToEnum.
So being bottom is bad.

Moreover a debug-trace might print it out.

So better to return a civilised expression, even though it is
usually discarded.

Add regression tests for #16244, #16245, #16758

Commit e3c374cc5bd7eb49649b9f507f9f7740697e3f70 ended up
fixing quite a few bugs:

* This commit fixes #16244 completely. A regression test has been
  added.
* This commit fixes one program from #16245. (The program in
  https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16245#note_211369 still
  panics, and the program in
  https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16245#note_211400 still
  loops infinitely.) A regression test has been added for this
  program.
* This commit fixes #16758. Accordingly, this patch removes the
  `expect_broken` label from the `T16758` test case, moves it from
  `should_compile` to `should_fail` (as it should produce an error
  message), and checks in the expected stderr.

Refactor hole constraints.

Previously, holes (both expression holes / out of scope variables and
partial-type-signature wildcards) were emitted as *constraints* via
the CHoleCan constructor. While this worked fine for error reporting,
there was a fair amount of faff in keeping these constraints in line.
In particular, and unlike other constraints, we could never change
a CHoleCan to become CNonCanonical. In addition:
 * the "predicate" of a CHoleCan constraint was really the type
   of the hole, which is not a predicate at all
 * type-level holes (partial type signature wildcards) carried
   evidence, which was never used
 * tcNormalise (used in the pattern-match checker) had to create
   a hole constraint just to extract it again; it was quite messy

The new approach is to record holes directly in WantedConstraints.
It flows much more nicely now.

Along the way, I did some cleaning up of commentary in
GHC.Tc.Errors.Hole, which I had a hard time understanding.

This was instigated by a future patch that will refactor
the way predicates are handled. The fact that CHoleCan's
"predicate" wasn't really a predicate is incompatible with
that future patch.

No test case, because this is meant to be purely internal.

It turns out that this change improves the performance of
the pattern-match checker, likely because fewer constraints
are sloshing about in tcNormalise. I have not investigated
deeply, but an improvement is not a surprise here:

rts: Zero block flags with -DZ

Block flags are very useful for determining the state of a block.

nonmoving: Fix incorrect failed_to_evac value during deadlock gc

things as dirty than strictly necessary. It also turned up a nasty but
which I will fix next.

nonmoving: Fix handling of dirty objects

Previously we (incorrectly) relied on failed_to_evac to be "precise".
That is, we expected it to only be true if *all* of an object's fields
lived outside of the non-moving heap. However, does not match the
behavior of failed_to_evac, which is true if *any* of the object's
fields weren't promoted (meaning that some others *may* live in the
non-moving heap).

This is problematic as we skip the non-moving write barrier for dirty
objects (which we can only safely do if *all* fields point outside of
the non-moving heap).

Clearly this arises due to a fundamental difference in the behavior
expected of failed_to_evac in the moving and non-moving collector.
e.g., in the moving collector it is always safe to conservatively say
failed_to_evac=true whereas in the non-moving collector the safe value
is false.

This issue went unnoticed as I never wrote down the dirtiness
invariant enforced by the non-moving collector. We now define this
invariant as

    An object being marked as dirty implies that all of its fields are
    on the mark queue (or, equivalently, update remembered set).

To maintain this invariant we teach nonmovingScavengeOne to push the
fields of objects which we fail to evacuate to the update remembered
set. This is a simple and reasonably cheap solution and avoids the
complexity and fragility that other, more strict alternative invariants
would require.

All of this is described in a new Note, Note [Dirty flags in the
non-moving collector] in NonMoving.c.

Allow atomic update of NameCache in readHieFile

The situation arises in ghcide where multiple different threads may need to
update the name cache, therefore with the older interface it could happen
that you start reading a hie file with name cache A and produce name cache
A + B, but another thread in the meantime updated the namecache to A +
C. Therefore if you write the new namecache you will lose the A' updates
from the second thread.

Refactoring: Use bindSigTyVarsFV in rnMethodBinds

`rnMethodBinds` was explicitly using `xoptM` to determine if
`ScopedTypeVariables` is enabled before bringing type variables
bound by the class/instance header into scope. However, this `xoptM`
logic is already performed by the `bindSigTyVarsFV` function. This
patch uses `bindSigTyVarsFV` in `rnMethodBinds` to reduce the number
of places where we need to consult if `ScopedTypeVariables` is on.

This is purely refactoring, and there should be no user-visible
change in behavior.

Bump exceptions submodule so that dist-boot is .gitignore'd

`exceptions` is a stage-0 boot library as of commit
30272412fa437ab8e7a8035db94a278e10513413, which means that building
`exceptions` in a GHC tree will generate a `dist-boot` directory.
However, this directory was not specified in `exceptions`'
`.gitignore` file, which causes it to dirty up the current `git`
working directory.

Accordingly, this bumps the `exceptions` submodule to commit
ghc/packages/exceptions at 23c0b8a50d7592af37ca09beeec16b93080df98f,
which adds `dist-boot` to the `.gitignore` file.

This reduces residency of compiler quite a bit on some programs.
Example stats when building T10370:

Before:

   4,693,328,008 bytes copied during GC
      33,941,448 bytes maximum residency (276 sample(s))
         375,976 bytes maximum slop
              83 MiB total memory in use (0 MB lost due to fragmentation)

After:

   2,858,897,344 bytes allocated in the heap
   4,629,255,440 bytes copied during GC
      32,616,624 bytes maximum residency (278 sample(s))
         314,400 bytes maximum slop

CprAnal: Don't attach CPR sigs to expandable bindings (#18154)

Instead, look through expandable unfoldings in `cprTransform`.
See the new Note [CPR for expandable unfoldings]:

```
Long static data structures (whether top-level or not) like

  xs = x1 : xs1
  xs1 = x2 : xs2
  xs2 = x3 : xs3

should not get CPR signatures, because they

  * Never get WW'd, so their CPR signature should be irrelevant after analysis
    (in fact the signature might even be harmful for that reason)
  * Would need to be inlined/expanded to see their constructed product
  * Recording CPR on them blows up interface file sizes and is redundant with
    their unfolding. In case of Nested CPR, this blow-up can be quadratic!

But we can't just stop giving DataCon application bindings the CPR property,
for example

  fac 0 = 1
  fac n = n * fac (n-1)

fac certainly has the CPR property and should be WW'd! But FloatOut will
transform the first clause to

  lvl = 1
  fac 0 = lvl

If lvl doesn't have the CPR property, fac won't either. But lvl doesn't have a
CPR signature to extrapolate into a CPR transformer ('cprTransform'). So
instead we keep on cprAnal'ing through *expandable* unfoldings for these arity
0 bindings via 'cprExpandUnfolding_maybe'.

In practice, GHC generates a lot of (nested) TyCon and KindRep bindings, one
for each data declaration. It's wasteful to attach CPR signatures to each of
them (and intractable in case of Nested CPR).
```

Fixes #18154.

Factor out HsPatSigType for pat sigs/RULE term sigs (#16762)

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

See also the new `Note [Pattern signature binders and scoping]` in
`GHC.Hs.Types`.

DmdAnal: Improve handling of precise exceptions

This patch does two things: Fix possible unsoundness in what was called
the "IO hack" and implement part 2.1 of the "fixing precise exceptions"
plan in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/fixing-precise-exceptions,
which, in combination with !2956, supersedes !3014 and !2525.

**IO hack**

The "IO hack" (which is a fallback to preserve precise exceptions
semantics and thus soundness, rather than some smart thing that
increases precision) is called `exprMayThrowPreciseException` now.
I came up with two testcases exemplifying possible unsoundness (if
twisted enough) in the old approach:

- `T13380d`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when resorting
             to manual state token threading and direct use of primops.
             More details below.
- `T13380e`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" when we have
             Nested CPR. Not currently relevant, as we don't have Nested
             CPR yet.
- `T13380f`: Demonstrating unsoundness of the "IO hack" for safe FFI
             calls.

Basically, the IO hack assumed that precise exceptions can only be
thrown from a case scrutinee of type `(# State# RealWorld, _ #)`. I
couldn't come up with a program using the `IO` abstraction that violates
this assumption. But it's easy to do so via manual state token threading
and direct use of primops, see `T13380d`. Also similar code might be
generated by Nested CPR in the (hopefully not too) distant future, see
`T13380e`. Hence, we now have a more careful test in `forcesRealWorld`
that passes `T13380{d,e}` (and will hopefully be robust to Nested CPR).

**Precise exceptions**

In #13380 and #17676 we saw that we didn't preserve precise exception
semantics in demand analysis. We fixed that with minimal changes in
!2956, but that was terribly unprincipled.

That unprincipledness resulted in a loss of precision, which is tracked
by these new test cases:

- `T13380b`: Regression in dead code elimination, because !2956 was too
             syntactic about `raiseIO#`
- `T13380c`: No need to apply the "IO hack" when the IO action may not
             throw a precise exception (and the existing IO hack doesn't
             detect that)

Fixing both issues in !3014 turned out to be too complicated and had
the potential to regress in the future. Hence we decided to only fix
`T13380b` and augment the `Divergence` lattice with a new middle-layer
element, `ExnOrDiv`, which means either `Diverges` (, throws an
imprecise exception) or throws a *precise* exception.

See the wiki page on Step 2.1 for more implementational details:

one in `GHC.Core.TyCo.Ppr`. The latter is less up-to-date, as it was

Explicit Specificity

Implementation for Ticket #16393.
Explicit specificity allows users to manually create inferred type variables,
by marking them with braces.
This way, the user determines which variables can be instantiated through
visible type application.

The additional syntax is included in the parser, allowing users to write
braces in type variable binders (type signatures, data constructors etc).
This information is passed along through the renamer and verified in the
type checker.
The AST for type variable binders, data constructors, pattern synonyms,
partial signatures and Template Haskell has been updated to include the
specificity of type variables.

Minor notes:
- Bumps haddock submodule
- Disables pattern match checking in GHC.Iface.Type with GHC 8.8

Lint should say when it is checking a rule

It is rather confusing that when lint finds an error in a rule attached
to a binder, it reports the error as in the RHS, not the rule:
  ...
  In the RHS of foo

We add a clarifying line:
  ...
  In the RHS of foo
  In a rule attached to foo

The implication that the rule lives inside the RHS is a bit odd, but
this niggle is already present for unfoldings, whose pattern we are
following.

Refactor linear reg alloc to remember past assignments.

When assigning registers we now first try registers we
assigned to in the past, instead of picking the "first"
one.

This is in extremely helpful when dealing with loops for
which variables are dead for part of the loop.

This is important for patterns like this:

        foo = arg1
    loop:
        use(foo)
        ...
        foo = getVal()
        goto loop;

There we:
* assign foo to the register of arg1.
* use foo, it's dead after this use as it's overwritten after.
* do other things.
* look for a register to put foo in.

If we pick an arbitrary one it might differ from the register the
start of the loop expect's foo to be in.
To fix this we simply look for past register assignments for
the given variable. If we find one and the register is free we
use that register.

This reduces the need for fixup blocks which match the register
assignment between blocks. In the example above between the end
and the head of the loop.

This patch also moves branch weight estimation ahead of register
allocation and adds a flag to control it (cmm-static-pred).
* It means the linear allocator is more likely to assign the hotter
  code paths first.
* If it assign these first we are:
  + Less likely to spill on the hot path.
  + Less likely to introduce fixup blocks on the hot path.

These two measure combined are surprisingly effective. Based on nofib
we get in the mean:

* -0.9% instructions executed
* -0.1% reads/writes
* -0.2% code size.
* -0.1% compiler allocations.
* -0.9% compile time.
* -0.8% runtime.

Most of the benefits are simply a result of removing redundant moves
and spills.

Reduced compiler allocations likely are the result of less code being
generated. (The added lookup is mostly non-allocating).

NCG: Codelayout: Distinguish conditional and other branches.

In #18053 we ended up with a suboptimal code layout because
the code layout algorithm didn't distinguish between conditional
and unconditional control flow.

We can completely eliminate unconditional control flow instructions
by placing blocks next to each other, not so much for conditionals.

In terms of implementation we simply give conditional branches less
weight before computing the layout.

Don't variable-length encode magic iface constant.

We changed to use variable length encodings for many types by default,

interpret their argument as a collection of bytes instead of a number.

Implement cstringLength# and FinalPtr

This function and its accompanying rule resolve issue #5218.
A future PR to the bytestring library will make the internal
Data.ByteString.Internal.unsafePackAddress compute string length
with cstringLength#. This will improve the status quo because it is
eligible for constant folding.

Additionally, introduce a new data constructor to ForeignPtrContents
named FinalPtr. This additional data constructor, when used in the
IsString instance for ByteString, leads to more Core-to-Core
optimization opportunities, fewer runtime allocations, and smaller
binaries.

Also, this commit re-exports all the functions from GHC.CString
(including cstringLength#) in GHC.Exts. It also adds a new test
driver. This test driver is used to perform substring matches on Core
that is dumped after all the simplifier passes. In this commit, it is
used to check that constant folding of cstringLength# works.

Add orderingTyCon to wiredInTyCons (#18185)

`Ordering` needs to be wired in for use in the built-in `CmpNat` and
`CmpSymbol` type families, but somehow it was never added to the list
of `wiredInTyCons`, leading to the various oddities observed
in #18185. Easily fixed by moving `orderingTyCon` from
`basicKnownKeyNames` to `wiredInTyCons`.

Fixes #18185.

Add info about typeclass evidence to .hie files

See `testsuite/tests/hiefile/should_run/HieQueries.hs` and
`testsuite/tests/hiefile/should_run/HieQueries.stdout` for an example of this

We add two new fields, `EvidenceVarBind` and `EvidenceVarUse` to the
`ContextInfo` associated with an Identifier. These are associated with the
appropriate identifiers for the evidence variables collected when we come across
`HsWrappers`, `TcEvBinds` and `IPBinds` while traversing the AST.

Instance dictionary and superclass selector dictionaries from `tcg_insts` and
classes defined in `tcg_tcs` are also recorded in the AST as originating from
their definition span

This allows us to save a complete picture of the evidence constructed by the
constraint solver, and will let us report this to the user, enabling features
like going to the instance definition from the invocation of a class method(or
any other method taking a constraint) and finding all usages of a particular
instance.

Additionally,

- Mark NodeInfo with an origin so we can differentiate between bindings
  origininating in the source vs those in ghc
- Along with typeclass evidence info, also include information on Implicit
  Parameters
- Add a few utility functions to HieUtils in order to query the new info

We avoid this by ensuring that the dump flag check is inlined into the

unless it's actually needed.

DmdAnal: Recognise precise exceptions from case alternatives (#18086)

Consider

```hs
m :: IO ()
m = do
  putStrLn "foo"
  error "bar"
```

`m` (from #18086) always throws a (precise or imprecise) exception or
diverges. Yet demand analysis infers `<L,A>` as demand signature instead
of `<L,A>x` for it.

That's because the demand analyser sees `putStrLn` occuring in a case
scrutinee and decides that it has to `deferAfterPreciseException`,
because `putStrLn` throws a precise exception on some control flow
paths. This will mask the `botDiv` `Divergence`of the single case alt
containing `error` to `topDiv`. Since `putStrLn` has `topDiv` itself,
the final `Divergence` is `topDiv`.

This is easily fixed: `deferAfterPreciseException` works by `lub`ing
with the demand type of a virtual case branch denoting the precise
exceptional control flow. We used `nopDmdType` before, but we can be
more precise and use `exnDmdType`, which is `nopDmdType` with `exnDiv`.

Now the `Divergence` from the case alt will degrade `botDiv` to `exnDiv`
instead of `topDiv`, which combines with the result from the scrutinee
to `exnDiv`, and all is well.

Fixes #18086.

Fix "build/elem" RULE.

An redundant constraint prevented the rule from matching.

Fixing this allows a call to elem on a known list to be translated
into a series of equality checks, and eventually a simple case
expression.

Surprisingly this seems to regress elem for strings. To avoid
this we now also allow foldrCString to inline and add an UTF8
variant. This results in elem being compiled to a tight
non-allocating loop over the primitive string literal which
performs a linear search.

In the process this commit adds UTF8 variants for some of the
functions in GHC.CString. This is required to make this work for
both ASCII and UTF8 strings.

There are also small tweaks to the CString related rules.
We now allow ourselfes the luxury to compare the folding function
via eqExpr, which helps to ensure the rule fires before we inline
foldrCString*. Together with a few changes to allow matching on both
the UTF8 and ASCII variants of the CString functions.

Allow simplification through runRW#

Because runRW# inlines so late, we were previously able to do very
little simplification across it. For instance, given even a simple
program like

    case runRW# (\s -> let n = I# 42# in n) of
      I# n# -> f n#

we previously had no way to avoid the allocation of the I#.

This patch allows the simplifier to push strict contexts into the
continuation of a runRW# application, as explained in
in Note [Simplification of runRW#] in GHC.CoreToStg.Prep.

Optimize GHC.Utils.Monad.

Many functions in this module are recursive and as such are marked
loop breakers. Which means they are unlikely to get an unfolding.

This is *bad*. We always want to specialize them to specific Monads.
Which requires a visible unfolding at the use site.

I rewrote the recursive ones from:

    foo f x = ... foo x' ...

to

    foo f x = go x
      where
        go x = ...

As well as giving some pragmas to make all of them available
for specialization.

The end result is a reduction of allocations of about -1.4% for
nofib/spectral/simple/Main.hs when compiled with `-O`.

Cleanup OVERWRITING_CLOSURE logic

The code is just more confusing than it needs to be. We don't need to mix
the threaded check with the ldv profiling check since ldv's init already
checks for this. Hence they can be two separate checks. Taking the sanity
checking into account is also cleaner via DebugFlags.sanity. No need for
checking the DEBUG define.

The ZERO_SLOP_FOR_LDV_PROF and ZERO_SLOP_FOR_SANITY_CHECK definitions the
old code had also make things a lot more opaque IMO so I removed those.

Always zero shrunk mutable array slop when profiling

When shrinking arrays in the profiling way we currently don't always zero
the leftover slop. This means we can't traverse such closures in the heap
profiler. The old Note [zeroing slop] and #8402 have some rationale for why
this is so but I belive the reasoning doesn't apply to mutable
closures. There users already have to ensure multiple threads don't step on
each other's toes so zeroing should be safe.

Modify file paths to module paths for new module hierarchy

This updates comments only.

This patch replaces module references according to new module
hierarchy [1][2].

For files under the `compiler/` directory, I replace them as
module paths instead of file paths. For instance,
`GHC.Unit.State` instead of `compiler/GHC/Unit/State.hs` [3].

For current and future haddock's markup, this patch encloses
the module name with "" [4].

Improve parser error messages for the @-operator

Since GHC diverges from the Haskell Report by allowing the user
to define (@) as an infix operator, we better give a good
error message when the user does so unintentionally.

In general, this is rather hard to do, as some failures will be
discovered only in the renamer or the type checker:

	x :: (Integer, Integer)
	x @ (a, b) = (1, 2)

This patch does *not* address this general case.

However, it gives much better error messages when the binding
is not syntactically valid:

	pairs xs @ (_:xs') = zip xs xs'

Before this patch, the error message was rather puzzling:

	<interactive>:1:1: error: Parse error in pattern: pairs

After this patch, the error message includes a hint:

	<interactive>:1:1: error:
	    Parse error in pattern: pairs
	    In a function binding for the ‘@’ operator.
	    Perhaps you meant an as-pattern, which must not be surrounded by whitespace

Improve parser error messages for TypeApplications

With this patch, we always parse  f @t  as a type application,
thereby producing better error messages.

This steals two syntactic forms:

* Prefix form of the @-operator in expressions. Since the @-operator is
  a divergence from the Haskell Report anyway, this is not a major loss.

* Prefix form of @-patterns. Since we are stealing loose infix form
  anyway, might as well sacrifice the prefix form for the sake of much
  better error messages.

While [e| |], [t| |], [d| |], and so on, steal syntax from list
comprehensions, [| |] and [|| ||] do not steal any syntax.

Thus we can improve error messages by always accepting them in the
lexer. Turns out the renamer already performs necessary validation.

Clean up boot vs non-boot disambiguating types

We often have (ModuleName, Bool) or (Module, Bool) pairs for "extended"
module names (without or with a unit id) disambiguating boot and normal
modules. We think this is important enough across the compiler that it
deserves a new nominal product type. We do this with synnoyms and a
functor named with a `Gen` prefix, matching other newly created
definitions.

It was also requested that we keep custom `IsBoot` / `NotBoot` sum type.
So we have it too. This means changing many the many bools to use that
instead.

Updates `haddock` submodule.

The correct threshold for log1mexp is -(log 2) with the current specification
of log1mexp. This change improves accuracy for large negative inputs.

To avoid code duplication, a small helper function is added;
it isn't the default implementation in Floating because it needs Ord.

This patch does nothing to address that the Haskell specification is
different from that in common use in other languages.

Simple subsumption

This patch simplifies GHC to use simple subsumption.
  Ticket #17775

Implements GHC proposal #287
   https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/
   proposals/0287-simplify-subsumption.rst

All the motivation is described there; I will not repeat it here.
The implementation payload:
 * tcSubType and friends become noticably simpler, because it no
   longer uses eta-expansion when checking subsumption.
 * No deeplyInstantiate or deeplySkolemise

That in turn means that some tests fail, by design; they can all
be fixed by eta expansion.  There is a list of such changes below.

Implementing the patch led me into a variety of sticky corners, so
the patch includes several othe changes, some quite significant:

* I made String wired-in, so that
    "foo" :: String   rather than
    "foo" :: [Char]
  This improves error messages, and fixes #15679

* The pattern match checker relies on knowing about in-scope equality
  constraints, andd adds them to the desugarer's environment using
  addTyCsDs.  But the co_fn in a FunBind was missed, and for some reason
  simple-subsumption ends up with dictionaries there. So I added a
  call to addTyCsDs.  This is really part of #18049.

* I moved the ic_telescope field out of Implication and into
  ForAllSkol instead.  This is a nice win; just expresses the code
  much better.

* There was a bug in GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.tcDataFamInstHeader.
  We called checkDataKindSig inside tc_kind_sig, /before/
  solveEqualities and zonking.  Obviously wrong, easily fixed.

* solveLocalEqualitiesX: there was a whole mess in here, around
  failing fast enough.  I discovered a bad latent bug where we
  could successfully kind-check a type signature, and use it,
  but have unsolved constraints that could fill in coercion
  holes in that signature --  aargh.

  It's all explained in Note [Failure in local type signatures]
  in GHC.Tc.Solver. Much better now.

* I fixed a serious bug in anonymous type holes. IN
    f :: Int -> (forall a. a -> _) -> Int
  that "_" should be a unification variable at the /outer/
  level; it cannot be instantiated to 'a'.  This was plain
  wrong.  New fields mode_lvl and mode_holes in TcTyMode,
  and auxiliary data type GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType.HoleMode.

  This fixes #16292, but makes no progress towards the more
  ambitious #16082

* I got sucked into an enormous refactoring of the reporting of
  equality errors in GHC.Tc.Errors, especially in
      mkEqErr1
      mkTyVarEqErr
      misMatchMsg
      misMatchMsgOrCND
  In particular, the very tricky mkExpectedActualMsg function
  is gone.

  It took me a full day.  But the result is far easier to understand.
  (Still not easy!)  This led to various minor improvements in error
  output, and an enormous number of test-case error wibbles.

  One particular point: for occurs-check errors I now just say
     Can't match 'a' against '[a]'
  rather than using the intimidating language of "occurs check".

* Pretty-printing AbsBinds

Tests review

* Eta expansions
   T11305: one eta expansion
   T12082: one eta expansion (undefined)
   T13585a: one eta expansion
   T3102:  one eta expansion
   T3692:  two eta expansions (tricky)
   T2239:  two eta expansions
   T16473: one eta
   determ004: two eta expansions (undefined)
   annfail06: two eta (undefined)
   T17923: four eta expansions (a strange program indeed!)
   tcrun035: one eta expansion

* Ambiguity check at higher rank.  Now that we have simple
  subsumption, a type like
     f :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int
  is no longer ambiguous, because we could write
     g :: (forall a. Eq a => Int) -> Int
     g = f
  and it'd typecheck just fine.  But f's type is a bit
  suspicious, and we might want to consider making the
  ambiguity check do a check on each sub-term.  Meanwhile,
  these tests are accepted, whereas they were previously
  rejected as ambiguous:
     T7220a
     T15438
     T10503
     T9222

* Some more interesting error message wibbles
   T13381: Fine: one error (Int ~ Exp Int)
           rather than two (Int ~ Exp Int, Exp Int ~ Int)
   T9834:  Small change in error (improvement)
   T10619: Improved
   T2414:  Small change, due to order of unification, fine
   T2534:  A very simple case in which a change of unification order
           means we get tow unsolved constraints instead of one
   tc211: bizarre impredicative tests; just accept this for now

Simplify bindLHsTyVarBndrs and bindHsQTyVars

Both `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` and `bindHsQTyVars` take two separate
`Maybe` arguments, which I find terribly confusing. Thankfully, it's
possible to remove one `Maybe` argument from each of these functions,
which this patch accomplishes:

* `bindHsQTyVars` takes a `Maybe SDoc` argument, which is `Just` if
  GHC should warn about any of the quantified type variables going
  unused. However, every call site uses `Nothing` in practice. This
  makes sense, since it doesn't really make sense to warn about
  unused type variables bound by an `LHsQTyVars`. For instance, you
  wouldn't warn about the `a` in `data Proxy a = Proxy` going unused.

  As a result, I simply remove this `Maybe SDoc` argument altogether.
* `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` also takes a `Maybe SDoc` argument for the same
  reasons that `bindHsQTyVars` took one. To make things more
  confusing, however, `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` also takes a separate
  `HsDocContext` argument, which is pretty-printed (to an `SDoc`) in
  warnings and error messages.

  In practice, the `Maybe SDoc` and the `HsDocContext` often contain
  the same text. See the call sites for `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` in
  `rnFamInstEqn` and `rnConDecl`, for instance. There are only a
  handful of call sites where the text differs between the
  `Maybe SDoc` and `HsDocContext` arguments:

  * In `rnHsRuleDecl`, where the `Maybe SDoc` says "`In the rule`"
    and the `HsDocContext` says "`In the transformation rule`".
  * In `rnHsTyKi`/`rn_ty`, where the `Maybe SDoc` says
    "`In the type`" but the `HsDocContext` is inhereted from the
    surrounding context (e.g., if `rnHsTyKi` were called on a
    top-level type signature, the `HsDocContext` would be
    "`In the type signature`" instead)

  In both cases, warnings/error messages arguably _improve_ by
  unifying making the `Maybe SDoc`'s text match that of the
  `HsDocContext`. As a result, I decided to remove the `Maybe SDoc`
  argument to `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` entirely and simply reuse the text
  from the `HsDocContext`. (I decided to change the phrase
  "transformation rule" to "rewrite rule" while I was in the area.)

  The `Maybe SDoc` argument has one other purpose: signaling when to
  emit "`Unused quantified type variable`" warnings. To recover this
  functionality, I replaced the `Maybe SDoc` argument with a
  boolean-like `WarnUnusedForalls` argument. The only
  `bindLHsTyVarBndrs` call site that chooses _not_ to emit these
  warnings in `bindHsQTyVars`.

if this will subsequently fail.  At that point we have given up
looking for static options though.

Make GADT constructors adhere to the forall-or-nothing rule properly

Issue #18191 revealed that the types of GADT constructors don't quite
adhere to the `forall`-or-nothing rule. This patch serves to clean up
this sad state of affairs somewhat. The main change is not in the
code itself, but in the documentation, as this patch introduces two
sections to the GHC User's Guide:

* A "Formal syntax for GADTs" section that presents a BNF-style
  grammar for what is and isn't allowed in GADT constructor types.
  This mostly exists to codify GHC's existing behavior, but it also
  imposes a new restriction that addresses #18191: the outermost
  `forall` and/or context in a GADT constructor is not allowed to be
  surrounded by parentheses. Doing so would make these
  `forall`s/contexts nested, and GADTs do not support nested
  `forall`s/contexts at present.

* A "`forall`-or-nothing rule" section that describes exactly what
  the `forall`-or-nothing rule is all about. Surprisingly, there was
  no mention of this anywhere in the User's Guide up until now!

To adhere the new specification in the "Formal syntax for GADTs"
section of the User's Guide, the following code changes were made:

* A new function, `GHC.Hs.Type.splitLHsGADTPrefixTy`, was introduced.
  This is very much like `splitLHsSigmaTy`, except that it avoids
  splitting apart any parentheses, which can be syntactically
  significant for GADT types. See
  `Note [No nested foralls or contexts in GADT constructors]` in
  `GHC.Hs.Type`.

* `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs`, an extension constructor for `XConDecl`, was
  introduced so that `GHC.Parser.PostProcess.mkGadtDecl` can return
  it when given a prefix GADT constructor. Unlike `ConDeclGADT`,
  `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` does not split the GADT type into its argument
  and result types, as this cannot be done until after the type is
  renamed (see `Note [GADT abstract syntax]` in `GHC.Hs.Decls` for why
  this is the case).

* `GHC.Renamer.Module.rnConDecl` now has an additional case for
  `ConDeclGADTPrefixPs` that (1) splits apart the full `LHsType` into
  its `forall`s, context, argument types, and result type, and
  (2) checks for nested `forall`s/contexts. Step (2) used to be
  performed the typechecker (in `GHC.Tc.TyCl.badDataConTyCon`) rather
  than the renamer, but now the relevant code from the typechecker
  can simply be deleted.

  One nice side effect of this change is that we are able to give a
  more accurate error message for GADT constructors that use visible
  dependent quantification (e.g., `MkFoo :: forall a -> a -> Foo a`),
  which improves the stderr in the `T16326_Fail6` test case.

Fixes #18191. Bumps the Haddock submodule.

Always use rnImplicitBndrs to bring implicit tyvars into scope

This implements a first step towards #16762 by changing the renamer
to always use `rnImplicitBndrs` to bring implicitly bound type
variables into scope. The main change is in `rnFamInstEqn` and
`bindHsQTyVars`, which previously used _ad hoc_ methods of binding
their implicit tyvars.

There are a number of knock-on consequences:

* One of the reasons that `rnFamInstEqn` used an _ad hoc_ binding
  mechanism was to give more precise source locations in
  `-Wunused-type-patterns` warnings. (See
  https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16762#note_273343 for an
  example of this.) However, these warnings are actually a little
  _too_ precise, since implicitly bound type variables don't have
  exact binding sites like explicitly bound type variables do.
  A similar problem existed for
  "`Different names for the same type variable`" errors involving
  implicit tyvars bound by `bindHsQTyVars`.
  Therefore, we simply accept the less precise (but more accurate)
  source locations from `rnImplicitBndrs` in `rnFamInstEqn` and
  `bindHsQTyVars`. See
  `Note [Source locations for implicitly bound type variables]` in
  `GHC.Rename.HsType` for the full story.
* In order for `rnImplicitBndrs` to work in `rnFamInstEqn`, it needs
  to be able to look up names from the parent class (in the event
  that we are renaming an associated type family instance). As a
  result, `rnImplicitBndrs` now takes an argument of type
  `Maybe assoc`, which is `Just` in the event that a type family
  instance is associated with a class.
* Previously, GHC kept track of three type synonyms for free type
  variables in the renamer: `FreeKiTyVars`, `FreeKiTyVarsDups`
  (which are allowed to contain duplicates), and
  `FreeKiTyVarsNoDups` (which contain no duplicates). However, making
  is a distinction between `-Dups` and `-NoDups` is now pointless, as
  all code that returns `FreeKiTyVars{,Dups,NoDups}` will eventually
  end up being passed to `rnImplicitBndrs`, which removes duplicates.
  As a result, I decided to just get rid of `FreeKiTyVarsDups` and
  `FreeKiTyVarsNoDups`, leaving only `FreeKiTyVars`.
* The `bindLRdrNames` and `deleteBys` functions are now dead code, so
  I took the liberty of removing them.

Clarify leaf module names for new module hierarchy

This updates comments only.

This patch replaces leaf module names according to new module
hierarchy [1][2] as followings:

* Expand leaf names to easily find the module path:
  for instance, `Id.hs` to `GHC.Types.Id`.

* Modify leaf names according to new module hierarchy:
  for instance, `Convert.hs` to `GHC.ThToHs`.

* Fix typo:
  for instance, `GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.hs` to `GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep`

Cross-module LambdaFormInfo passing

- Store LambdaFormInfos of exported Ids in interface files
- Use them in importing modules

This is for optimization purposes: if we know LambdaFormInfo of imported
Ids we can generate more efficient calling code, see `getCallMethod`.

Exporting (putting them in interface files or in ModDetails) and
importing (reading them from interface files) are both optional. We
don't assume known LambdaFormInfos anywhere and do not change how we
call Ids with unknown LambdaFormInfos.

turn all GCs into major GCs, and do GC more often.

Optimisation in Unique.Supply

This patch switches on -fno-state-hack in GHC.Types.Unique.Supply.

It turned out that my fixes for #18078 (coercion floating) changed the
optimisation pathway for mkSplitUniqSupply in such a way that we had
an extra allocation inside the inner loop.  Adding -fno-state-hack
fixed that -- and indeed the loop in mkSplitUniqSupply is a classic
example of the way in which -fno-state-hack can be bad; see #18238.

Moreover, the new code is better than the old.  They allocate
the same, but the old code ends up with a partial application.
The net effect is that the test
    perf/should_run/UniqLoop
runs 20% faster!   From 2.5s down to 2.0s.  The allocation numbers
are the same -- but elapsed time falls. Good!

The bad thing about this is that it's terribly delicate.  But
at least it's a good example of such delicacy in action.

There is a long Note [Optimising the unique supply] which now
explains all this.

Implement cast worker/wrapper properly

The cast worker/wrapper transformation transforms
   x = e |> co
into
   y = e
   x = y |> co

This is done by the simplifier, but we were being
careless about transferring IdInfo from x to y,
and about what to do if x is a NOINLNE function.
This resulted in a series of bugs:
     #17673, #18093, #18078.

This patch fixes all that:

* Main change is in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify, and
  the new prepareBinding function, which does this
  cast worker/wrapper transform.
  See Note [Cast worker/wrappers].

* There is quite a bit of refactoring around
  prepareRhs, makeTrivial etc.  It's nicer now.

* Some wrappers from strictness and cast w/w, notably those for
  a function with a NOINLINE, should inline very late. There
  wasn't really a mechanism for that, which was an existing bug
  really; so I invented a new finalPhase = Phase (-1).  It's used
  for all simplifier runs after the user-visible phase 2,1,0 have
  run.  (No new runs of the simplifier are introduced thereby.)

  See new Note [Compiler phases] in GHC.Types.Basic;
  the main changes are in GHC.Core.Opt.Driver

* Doing this made me trip over two places where the AnonArgFlag on a
  FunTy was being lost so we could end up with (Num a -> ty)
  rather than (Num a => ty)
    - In coercionLKind/coercionRKind
    - In contHoleType in the Simplifier

  I fixed the former by defining mkFunctionType and using it in
  coercionLKind/RKind.

  I could have done the same for the latter, but the information
  is almost to hand.  So I fixed the latter by
    - adding sc_hole_ty to ApplyToVal (like ApplyToTy),
    - adding as_hole_ty to ValArg (like TyArg)
    - adding sc_fun_ty to StrictArg
  Turned out I could then remove ai_type from ArgInfo.  This is
  just moving the deck chairs around, but it worked out nicely.

  See the new Note [AnonArgFlag] in GHC.Types.Var

* When looking at the 'arity decrease' thing (#18093) I discovered
  that stable unfoldings had a much lower arity than the actual
  optimised function.  That's what led to the arity-decrease
  message.  Simple solution: eta-expand.

  It's described in Note [Eta-expand stable unfoldings]
  in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify

* I also discovered that unsafeCoerce wasn't being inlined if
  the context was boring.  So (\x. f (unsafeCoerce x)) would
  create a thunk -- yikes!  I fixed that by making inlineBoringOK
  a bit cleverer: see Note [Inline unsafeCoerce] in GHC.Core.Unfold.

  I also found that unsafeCoerceName was unused, so I removed it.

I made a test case for #18078, and a very similar one for #17673.

The net effect of all this on nofib is very modest, but positive:

Fix lookupGlobalOccRn_maybe sometimes reporting an error

In some cases it was possible for lookupGlobalOccRn_maybe to return an
error, when it should be returning a Nothing. If it called
lookupExactOcc_either when there were no matching GlobalRdrElts in the
otherwise case, it would return an error message. This could be caused
when lookupThName_maybe in Template Haskell was looking in different
namespaces (thRdrNameGuesses), guessing different namespaces that the
name wasn't guaranteed to be found in.

However, by addressing this some more accurate errors were being lost in
the conversion to Maybes. So some of the lookup* functions have been
shuffled about so that errors should always be ignored in
lookup*_maybes, and propagated otherwise.

This fixes #18263

Instead of always querying DynFlags to know whether we are allowed to
use virtual units (i.e. instantiated on-the-fly, cf Note [About units]

This avoids using DynFlags too much (cf #17957) and is preliminary work
for #14335.

Rename Package into Unit

The terminology changed over time and now package databases contain
"units" (there can be several units compiled from a single Cabal
package: one per-component, one for each option set, one per
instantiation, etc.). We should try to be consistent internally and use
"units": that's what this renaming does. Maybe one day we'll fix the UI
too (e.g. replace -package-id with -unit-id, we already have
-this-unit-id and ghc-pkg has -unit-id...) but it's not done in this
patch.

* rename getPkgFrameworkOpts into getUnitFrameworkOpts
* rename UnitInfoMap into ClosureUnitInfoMap
* rename InstalledPackageIndex into UnitInfoMap
* rename UnusablePackages into UnusableUnits
* rename PackagePrecedenceIndex into UnitPrecedenceMap
* rename PackageDatabase into UnitDatabase

Trim the demand for recursive product types

Ticket #18304 showed that we need to be very careful
when exploring the demand (esp usage demand) on recursive
product types.

This patch solves the problem by trimming the demand on such types --
in effect, a form of "widening".

See the Note [Trimming a demand to a type] in DmdAnal, which explains
how I did this by piggy-backing on an existing mechansim for trimming
demands becuase of GADTs.  The significant payload of this patch is
very small indeed:

* Make GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils.typeShape use RecTcChecker to
  avoid looking through recursive types.

But on the way

* I found that ae_rec_tc was entirely inoperative and did nothing.
  So I removed it altogether from DmdAnal.

* I moved some code around in DmdAnal and Demand.
  (There are no actual changes in dmdFix.)

* I changed the API of DmsAnal.dmdAnalRhsLetDown to return
  a StrictSig rather than a decorated Id

* I removed the dead function peelTsFuns from Demand

Performance effects:

Nofib: 0.0% changes.  Not surprising, because they don't
       use recursive products

Perf tests

T12227:
  1% increase in compiler allocation, becuase $cto gets w/w'd.
  It did not w/w before because it takes a deeply nested
  argument, so the worker gets too many args, so we abandon w/w
  altogether (see GHC.Core.Opt.WorkWrap.Utils.isWorkerSmallEnough)

  With this patch we trim the demands.  That is not strictly
  necessary (since these Generic type constructors are like
  tuples -- they can't cause a loop) but the net result is that
  we now w/w $cto which is fine.

UniqLoop:
  16% decrease in /runtime/ allocation. The UniqSupply is a
  recursive product, so currently we abandon all strictness on
  'churn'.  With this patch 'churn' gets useful strictness, and
  we w/w it.  Hooray

Metric Decrease:
    UniqLoop

Metric Increase:

gitlab-ci: Always push perf notes

Previously we ci.sh would run with `set -e` implying that we wouldn't
push perf notes if the testsuite were to fail, even if it *only* failed
due to perf notes. This rendered the whole performance testing story
quite fragile as a single regressing commit would cause every successive
commit to fail since a new baseline would not be uploaded.

Fix this by ensuring that we always push performance notes.

Use HsForAllTelescope to avoid inferred, visible foralls

Currently, `HsForAllTy` permits the combination of `ForallVis` and
`Inferred`, but you can't actually typecheck code that uses it
(e.g., `forall {a} ->`). This patch refactors `HsForAllTy` to use a
new `HsForAllTelescope` data type that makes a type-level distinction
between visible and invisible `forall`s such that visible `forall`s
do not track `Specificity`. That part of the patch is actually quite
small; the rest is simply changing consumers of `HsType` to
accommodate this new type.

Fixes #18235. Bumps the `haddock` submodule.

codeGen: Don't discard live case binders in unsafeEqualityProof logic

Previously CoreToStg would unconditionally discard cases of the form:

    case unsafeEqualityProof of wild { _ -> rhs }

and rather replace the whole thing with `rhs`. However, in some cases
(see #18227) the case binder is still live, resulting in unbound
occurrences in `rhs`. Fix this by only discarding the case if the case
binder is dead.

Fixes #18227.

FFI: Fix pass small ints in foreign call wrappers

The Haskell calling convention requires integer parameters smaller
than wordsize to be promoted to wordsize (where the upper bits are
don't care). To access such small integer parameter read a word from
the parameter array and then cast that word to the small integer
target type.

Some archives contain so called linker objects, with the affectionate
.lo suffic.  For example the musl libc.a will come in that form.  We
still want to load those objects, hence we should not discard them and
look for .lo as well.  Ultimately we might want to fix this proerly by
looking at the file magic.

Linear types (#15981)

This is the first step towards implementation of the linear types proposal
(https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/111).

It features

* A language extension -XLinearTypes
* Syntax for linear functions in the surface language
* Linearity checking in Core Lint, enabled with -dlinear-core-lint
* Core-to-core passes are mostly compatible with linearity
* Fields in a data type can be linear or unrestricted; linear fields
  have multiplicity-polymorphic constructors.
  If -XLinearTypes is disabled, the GADT syntax defaults to linear fields

The following items are not yet supported:

* a # m -> b syntax (only prefix FUN is supported for now)
* Full multiplicity inference (multiplicities are really only checked)
* Decent linearity error messages
* Linear let, where, and case expressions in the surface language
  (each of these currently introduce the unrestricted variant)
* Multiplicity-parametric fields
* Syntax for annotating lambda-bound or let-bound with a multiplicity
* Syntax for non-linear/multiple-field-multiplicity records
* Linear projections for records with a single linear field
* Linear pattern synonyms
* Multiplicity coercions (test LinearPolyType)

A high-level description can be found at
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/LinearTypes/Implementation
Following the link above you will find a description of the changes made to Core.

Various performance improvements

This implements several general performance improvements to GHC,
to offset the effect of the linear types change.

General optimisations:
- Add a `coreFullView` function which iterates `coreView` on the
  head. This avoids making function recursive solely because the
  iterate `coreView` themselves. As a consequence, this functions can
  be inlined, and trigger case-of-known constructor (_e.g._
  `kindRep_maybe`, `isLiftedRuntimeRep`, `isMultiplicityTy`,
  `getTyVar_maybe`, `splitAppTy_maybe`, `splitFunType_maybe`,
  `tyConAppTyCon_maybe`). The common pattern about all these functions
  is that they are almost always used as views, and immediately
  consumed by a case expression. This commit also mark them asx `INLINE`.
- In `subst_ty` add a special case for nullary `TyConApp`, which avoid
  allocations altogether.
- Use `mkTyConApp` in `subst_ty` for the general `TyConApp`. This
  required quite a bit of module shuffling.
  case. `myTyConApp` enforces crucial sharing, which was lost during
  substitution. See also !2952 .
- Make `subst_ty` stricter.
- In `eqType` (specifically, in `nonDetCmpType`), add a special case,
  tested first, for the very common case of nullary `TyConApp`.
  `nonDetCmpType` has been made `INLINE` otherwise it is actually a
  regression. This is similar to the optimisations in !2952.

Linear-type specific optimisations:
- Use `tyConAppTyCon_maybe` instead of the more complex `eqType` in
  the definition of the pattern synonyms `One` and `Many`.
- Break the `hs-boot` cycles between `Multiplicity.hs` and `Type.hs`:
  `Multiplicity` now import `Type` normally, rather than from the
  `hs-boot`. This way `tyConAppTyCon_maybe` can inline properly in the
  `One` and `Many` pattern synonyms.
- Make `updateIdTypeAndMult` strict in its type and multiplicity
- The `scaleIdBy` gets a specialised definition rather than being an
  alias to `scaleVarBy`
- `splitFunTy_maybe` is given the type `Type -> Maybe (Mult, Type,
  Type)` instead of `Type -> Maybe (Scaled Type, Type)`
- Remove the `MultMul` pattern synonym in favour of a view `isMultMul`
  because pattern synonyms appear not to inline well.
- in `eqType`, in a `FunTy`, compare multiplicities last: they are
  almost always both `Many`, so it helps failing faster.
- Cache `manyDataConTy` in `mkTyConApp`, to make sure that all the
  instances of `TyConApp ManyDataConTy []` are physically the same.

Remove integer-simple

integer-simple uses lists of words (`[Word]`) to represent big numbers
instead of ByteArray#:

   * it is less efficient than the newer ghc-bignum native backend

   * it isn't compatible with the big number representation that is now
     shared by all the ghc-bignum backends (based on the one that was
     used only in integer-gmp before).

As a consequence, we simply drop integer-simple

ghc-bignum library

ghc-bignum is a newer package that aims to replace the legacy
integer-simple and integer-gmp packages.

* it supports several backends. In particular GMP is still supported and
  most of the code from integer-gmp has been merged in the "gmp"
  backend.

* the pure Haskell "native" backend is new and is much faster than the
  previous pure Haskell implementation provided by integer-simple

* new backends are easier to write because they only have to provide a
  few well defined functions. All the other code is common to all
  backends. In particular they all share the efficient small/big number
  distinction previously used only in integer-gmp.

* backends can all be tested against the "native" backend with a simple
  Cabal flag. Backends are only allowed to differ in performance, their
  results should be the same.

* Add `integer-gmp` compat package: provide some pattern synonyms and
  function aliases for those in `ghc-bignum`. It is intended to avoid
  breaking packages that depend on `integer-gmp` internals.

Update compiler

Thanks to ghc-bignum, the compiler can be simplified:

* Types and constructors of Integer and Natural can be wired-in. It
  means that we don't have to query them from interfaces. It also means
  that numeric literals don't have to carry their type with them.

* The same code is used whatever ghc-bignum backend is enabled. In
  particular, conversion of bignum literals into final Core expressions
  is now much more straightforward. Bignum closure inspection too.

* GHC itself doesn't depend on any integer-* package anymore

* The `integerLibrary` setting is gone.

Update `base` package

* GHC.Natural isn't implemented in `base` anymore. It is provided by
  ghc-bignum in GHC.Num.Natural. It means that we can safely use Natural
  primitives in `base` without fearing issues with built-in rewrite
  rules (cf #15286)

* `base` doesn't conditionally depend on an integer-* package anymore,
  it depends on ghc-bignum

* Some duplicated code in integer-* can now be factored in GHC.Float

* ghc-bignum tries to use a uniform naming convention so most of the
  other changes are renaming

  native backend doesn't handle efficiently enough.

* remove tests for GMP only functions that have been removed from
  ghc-bignum

* fix test results showing dependent packages (e.g. integer-gmp) or
  showing suggested instances

* fix test using Integer/Natural API or showing internal names

* support ghc-bignum "--check" flag (compare results of selected backend
  against results of the native one) in flavours and command-line (e.g.
  pass --bignum=check-gmp" to check the "gmp" backend)

* remove the hack to workaround #15286

* build GMP only when the gmp backend is used

* remove hacks to workaround `text` package flags about integer-*. We
  fix `text` to use ghc-bignum unconditionally in another patch

Fix uninitialized field read in Linker.c

    ==29666== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

    ==29666==    by 0x2C144CD: ??? (in /home/omer/haskell/ghc_2/testsuite/tests/rts/linker/linker_unload.run/linker_unload)
    ==29666==
    ==29666== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
    ==29666==    at 0x369C5B4: setOcInitialStatus (Linker.c:1305)
    ==29666==    by 0x369C6C5: mkOc (Linker.c:1347)
    ==29666==    by 0x369C9F6: preloadObjectFile (Linker.c:1507)

    ==29666==    by 0x369CB17: loadObj (Linker.c:1557)
    ==29666==    by 0x3866BC: main (linker_unload.c:33)

The problem is `mkOc` allocates a new `ObjectCode` and calls
`setOcInitialStatus` without initializing the `status` field.
`setOcInitialStatus` reads the field as first thing:

    static void setOcInitialStatus(ObjectCode* oc) {
        if (oc->status == OBJECT_DONT_RESOLVE)
          return;

        if (oc->archiveMemberName == NULL) {
            oc->status = OBJECT_NEEDED;
        } else {
            oc->status = OBJECT_LOADED;
        }
    }

`setOcInitialStatus` is unsed in two places for two different purposes:
in `mkOc` where we don't have the `status` field initialized yet (`mkOc`
is supposed to initialize it), and `loadOc` where we do have `status`
field initialized and we want to update it. Instead of splitting the
function into two functions which are both called just once I inline the
functions in the use sites and remove it.

Accumulate Haddock comments in P (#17544, #17561)

Haddock comments are, first and foremost, comments. It's very annoying
to incorporate them into the grammar. We can take advantage of an
important property: adding a Haddock comment does not change the parse
tree in any way other than wrapping some nodes in HsDocTy and the like
(and if it does, that's a bug).

This patch implements the following:

* Accumulate Haddock comments with their locations in the P monad.
  This is handled in the lexer.

* After parsing, do a pass over the AST to associate Haddock comments
  with AST nodes using location info.

* Report the leftover comments to the user as a warning (-Winvalid-haddock).
