nonmoving: Fix collection of sparks
Previously sparks living in the non-moving heap would be promptly GC'd
by the minor collector since pruneSparkQueue uses the BF_EVACUATED flag,
which non-moving heap blocks do not have set.
Fix this by implementing proper support in pruneSparkQueue for
determining reachability in the non-moving heap. The story is told in
Note [Spark management in the nonmoving heap].

Clarify a Lint message
When developing a plugin I had a shadowing problem, where I generated
code
app = \f{v r7B} x{v r7B} -> f{v r7B} x{v r7B}
This is obviously wrong, since the occurrence of `f` to the right of the
arrow refers to the `x` binder (they share a Unique). However, it is
rather confusing when Lint reports
Mismatch in type between binder and occurrence
Var: x{v rB7}
since it is printing the binder, rather than the occurrence.
It is rather easy to read this as claiming there is something wrong with
the `x` occurrence!
We change the report to explicitly print both the binder and the
occurrence variables.

Re-quantify when generalising over rewrite rule types
Previously, `tcRules` would check for naughty quantification
candidates (see `Note [Naughty quantification candidates]` in
`TcMType`) when generalising over the type of a rewrite rule. This
caused sensible-looking rewrite rules (like those in #17710) to be
rejected. A more permissing (and easier-to-implement) approach is to
do what is described in `Note [Generalising in tcTyFamInstEqnGuts]`
in `TcTyClsDecls`: just re-quantify all the type variable binders,
regardless of the order in which the user specified them. After all,
the notion of type variable specificity has no real meaning in
rewrite rules, since one cannot "visibly apply" a rewrite rule.
I have written up this wisdom in
`Note [Re-quantify type variables in rules]` in `TcRules`.
As a result of this patch, compiling the `ExplicitForAllRules1` test
case now generates one fewer warning than it used to. As far as I can
tell, this is benign, since the thing that the disappearing warning
talked about was also mentioned in an entirely separate warning.
Fixes #17710.

Zero any slop after compaction in compacting GC
In copying GC, with the relevant debug flags enabled, we release the old
blocks after a GC, and the block allocator zeroes the space before
releasing a block. This effectively zeros the old heap.
In compacting GC we reuse the blocks and previously we didn't zero the
unused space in a compacting generation after compaction. With this
patch we zero the slop between the free pointer and the end of the block
when we're done with compaction and when switching to a new block
(because the current block doesn't have enough space for the next object
we're shifting).

Refactor GHC.Driver.Session (Ways and Flags)
* extract flags and ways into their own modules (with some renaming)
* remove one SOURCE import of GHC.Driver.Session from GHC.Driver.Phases
* when GHC uses dynamic linking (WayDyn), `interpWays` was only
reporting WayDyn even if the host was profiled (WayProf). Now it
returns both as expected (might fix #16803).
* `mkBuildTag :: [Way] -> String` wasn't reporting a canonical tag for
differently ordered lists. Now we sort and nub the list to fix this.

Make DeriveFunctor-generated code require fewer beta reductions
Issue #17880 demonstrates that `DeriveFunctor`-generated code is
surprisingly fragile when rank-_n_ types are involved. The culprit is
that `$fmap` (the algorithm used to generate `fmap` implementations)
was too keen on applying arguments with rank-_n_ types to lambdas,
which fail to typecheck more often than not.
In this patch, I change `$fmap` (both the specification and the
implementation) to produce code that avoids creating as many lambdas,
avoiding problems when rank-_n_ field types arise.
See the comments titled "Functor instances" in `TcGenFunctor` for a
more detailed description. Not only does this fix #17880, but it also
ensures that the code that `DeriveFunctor` generates will continue
to work after simplified subsumption is implemented (see #17775).
What is truly amazing is that #17880 is actually a regression
(introduced in GHC 7.6.3) caused by commit
49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e, the fix #7436. Prior to
that commit, the version of `$fmap` that was used was almost
identical to the one used in this patch! Why did that commit change
`$fmap` then? It was to avoid severe performance issues that would
arise for recursive `fmap` implementations, such as in the example
below:
```hs
data List a = Nil | Cons a (List a) deriving Functor
-- ===>
instance Functor List where
fmap f Nil = Nil
fmap f (Cons x xs) = Cons (f x) (fmap (\y -> f y) xs)
```
The fact that `\y -> f y` was eta expanded caused significant
performance overheads. Commit
49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e fixed this performance
issue, but it went too far. As a result, this patch partially
reverts 49ca2a37bef18aa57235ff1dbbf1cc0434979b1e.
To ensure that the performance issues pre-#7436 do not resurface,
I have taken some precautionary measures:
* I have added a special case to `$fmap` for situations where the
last type variable in an application of some type occurs directly.
If this special case fires, we avoid creating a lambda expression.
This ensures that we generate
`fmap f (Cons x xs) = Cons (f x) (fmap f xs)` in the derived
`Functor List` instance above. For more details, see
`Note [Avoid unnecessary eta expansion in derived fmap implementations]`
in `TcGenFunctor`.
* I have added a `T7436b` test case to ensure that the performance
of this derived `Functor List`-style code does not regress.
When implementing this, I discovered that `$replace`, the algorithm
which generates implementations of `(<$)`, has a special case that is
very similar to the `$fmap` special case described above. `$replace`
marked this special case with a custom `Replacer` data type, which
was a bit overkill. In order to use the same machinery for both
`Functor` methods, I ripped out `Replacer` and instead implemented
a simple way to detect the special case. See the updated commentary
in `Note [Deriving <$]` for more details.

pretty-printer: Properly parenthesise LastStmt
After ApplicatveDo strips the last `return` during renaming, the pretty
printer has to restore it. However, if the return was followed by `$`,
the dollar was stripped too and not restored.
For example, the last stamement in:
```
foo = do
x <- ...
...
return $ f x
```
would be printed as:
```
return f x
```
This commit preserved the dolar, so it becomes:
```
return $ f x
```

pretty-printer: Do not print ApplicativeDo join
* Do not print `join` in ApplictiveStmt, unless ppr-debug
* Print parens around multiple parallel binds
When ApplicativeDo is enabled, the renamer analyses the statements of a
`do` block and in certain cases marks them as needing to be rewritten
using `join`.
For example, if you have:
```
foo = do
a <- e1
b <- e2
doSomething a b
```
it will be desugared into:
```
foo = join (doSomething <$> e1 <*> e2)
```
After renaming but before desugaring the expression is stored
essentially as:
```
foo = do
[will need join] (a <- e1 | b <- e2)
[no return] doSomething a b
```
Before this change, the pretty printer would print a call to `join`,
even though it is not needed at this stage at all. The expression will be
actually rewritten into one using join only at desugaring, at which
point a literal call to join will be inserted.

Expose compulsory unfoldings always
The unsafeCoerce# patch requires that unsafeCoerce# has
a compulsory unfolding that is always available. So we have
to be careful to expose compulsory unfoldings unconditionally
and consistently.
We didn't get this quite right: #17871. This patch fixes
it. No real surprises here.

hadrian: improve dependency tracking for the check-* programs
The code in Rules.Register responsible for finding all the build artifacts
that Cabal installs when registering a library (static/shared libs, .hi files,
...) was looking in the wrong place. This patch fixes that logic and makes sure
we gather all those artifacts in a list to declare that the rule for a given
`.conf` file, our proxy for "Hadrian, please install this package in the package
db for this stage", also produces those artifacts under the said package
database.
We also were completely missing some logic to declare that the check-* programs
have dependencies besides their source code, at least when testing an in-tree
compiler.
Finally, this patch also removes redundant packages from 'testsuitePackages',
since they should already be covered by the stage<N>Packages lists from
Settings.Default.
With this patch, after a complete build and freezing stage 1, a change to
`compiler/parser/Parser.y` results in rebuilding the ghc lib, reinstalling it,
and rebuilding the few programs that depend on it, _including_ `check-ppr` and
`check-api-annotations` (therefore fixing #17273).

Fix Lint
Ticket #17590 pointed out a bug in the way the linter dealt with

rather than (as before) sneaking them into the TCvSubst.
Surprisingly tiresome, but done.

Allow overriding LD_STAGE0 and AR_STAGE0 in the configure script.
Previously it was possible to override the stage0 C compiler via `CC_STAGE0`,
but you couldn't override `ld` or `ar` in stage0. This change allows overriding them
by setting `LD_STAGE0` or `AR_STAGE0`, respectively.
Our team uses this feature internally to take more control of our GHC build

nonmoving: Don't traverse filled segment list in pause
The non-moving collector would previously walk the entire filled segment
list during the preparatory pause. However, this is far more work than
is strictly necessary. We can rather get away with merely collecting the
allocators' filled segment list heads and process the lists themselves
during the concurrent phase. This can significantly reduce the maximum
gen1 GC pause time in programs with high rates of long-lived allocations.

Wrap an implication around class-sig kind errors
Ticket #17841 showed that we can get a kind error
in a class signature, but lack an enclosing implication
that binds its skolems.
This patch
* Adds the wrapping implication: the new call to
checkTvConstraints in tcClassDecl1
* Simplifies the API to checkTvConstraints, which
was not otherwise called at all.
* Simplifies TcErrors.report_unsolved by *not*
initialising the TidyEnv from the typechecker lexical
envt. It's enough to do so from the free vars of the
unsolved constraints; and we get silly renamings if
we add variables twice: once from the lexical scope
and once from the implication constraint.

Refactor CmmToAsm (disentangle DynFlags)
This patch disentangles a bit more DynFlags from the native code
generator (CmmToAsm).
In more details:
- add a new NCGConfig datatype in GHC.CmmToAsm.Config which contains the
configuration of a native code generation session
- explicitly pass NCGConfig/Platform arguments when necessary
- as a consequence `sdocWithPlatform` is gone and there are only a few
`sdocWithDynFlags` left
- remove the use of `unsafeGlobalDynFlags` from GHC.CmmToAsm.CFG
- remove `sdocDebugLevel` (now we pass the debug level via NCGConfig)
There are still some places where DynFlags is used, especially because
of pretty-printing (CLabel), because of Cmm helpers (such as
`cmmExprType`) and because of `Outputable` instance for the
instructions. These are left for future refactoring as this patch is
already big.

Add a -no-haddock flag.
This flag undoes the effect of a previous "-haddock" flag. Having both flags makes it easier
for build systems to enable Haddock parsing in a set of global flags, but then disable it locally for
specific targets (e.g., third-party packages whose comments don't pass the validation in the latest GHC).
I added the flag to expected-undocumented-flags.txt since `-haddock` was alreadyin that list.

Fix global_link of TSOs for threads reachable via dead weaks
Fixes #17785
Here's how the problem occurs:
- In generation 0 we have a TSO that is finished (i.e. it has no more
work to do or it is killed).
- The TSO only becomes reachable after collectDeadWeakPtrs().
- After collectDeadWeakPtrs() we switch to WeakDone phase where we don't
move TSOs to different lists anymore (like the next gen's thread list
or the resurrected_threads list).
- So the TSO will never be moved to a generation's thread list, but it
will be promoted to generation 1.
- Generation 1 collected via mark-compact, and because the TSO is
reachable it is marked, and its `global_link` field, which is bogus at
this point (because the TSO is not in a list), will be threaded.
- Chaos ensues.
In other words, when these conditions hold:
- A TSO is reachable only after collectDeadWeakPtrs()
- It's finished (what_next is ThreadComplete or ThreadKilled)
- It's retained by mark-compact collector (moving collector doesn't
evacuate the global_list field)
We end up doing random mutations on the heap because the TSO's
global_list field is not valid, but it still looks like a heap pointer
so we thread it during compacting GC.
The fix is simple: when we traverse old_threads lists to resurrect
unreachable threads the threads that won't be resurrected currently
stays on the old_threads lists. Those threads will never be visited
again by MarkWeak so we now reset the global_list fields. This way
compacting GC does not thread pointers to nowhere.
Testing
-------
The reproducer in #17785 is quite large and hard to build, because of
the dependencies, so I'm not adding a regression test.
In my testing the reproducer would take a less than 5 seconds to run,
and once in every ~5 runs would fail with a segfault or an assertion
error. In other cases it also fails with a test failure. Because the
tests never fail with the bug fix, assuming the code is correct, this
also means that this bug can sometimes lead to incorrect runtime
results.
After the fix I was able to run the reproducer repeatedly for about an
hour, with no runtime crashes or test failures.
To run the reproducer clone the git repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/osa1/streamly --branch ghc-segfault
Then clone primitive and atomic-primops from their git repos and point
to the clones in cabal.project.local. The project should then be
buildable using GHC HEAD. Run the executable `properties` with `+RTS -c
-DZ`.
In addition to the reproducer above I run the test suite using:
$ make slowtest EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-debug -with-rtsopts=-DS \
-with-rtsopts=-c +RTS -c -RTS" SKIPWAY='nonmoving nonmoving_thr'
This enables compacting GC always in both GHC when building the test
programs and when running the test programs, and also enables sanity
checking when running the test programs. These set of flags are not
compatible for all tests so there are some failures, but I got the same
set of failures with this patch compared to GHC HEAD.

Update "GHC differences to the FFI Chapter" in user guide.
The old entry had a heavy focus on how things had been. Which is
not what I generally look for in a user guide.
I also added a small section on behaviour of nested safe ffi calls.
