Make withDict opaque to the specialiser

As pointed out in #21575, it is not sufficient to set withDict to inline
after the typeclass specialiser, because we might inline withDict in one
module and then import it in another, and we run into the same problem.
This means we could still end up with incorrect runtime results because
the typeclass specialiser would assume that distinct typeclass evidence
terms at the same type are equal, when this is not necessarily the case
when using withDict.

Instead, this patch introduces a new magicId, 'nospec', which is only
inlined in CorePrep. We make use of it in the definition of withDict
to ensure that the typeclass specialiser does not common up distinct
typeclass evidence terms.

Fixes #21575

Refactored Simplify pass

 * Removed references to driver from GHC.Core.LateCC, GHC.Core.Simplify
   namespace and GHC.Core.Opt.Stats.
   Also removed services from configuration records.

 * Renamed GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify to GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.

 * Inlined `simplifyPgm` and renamed `simplifyPgmIO` to `simplifyPgm`
   and moved the Simplify driver to GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.

 * Moved `SimplMode` and `FloatEnable` to GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Env.

 * Added a configuration record `TopEnvConfig` for the `SimplTopEnv` environment
   in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Monad.

 * Added `SimplifyOpts` and `SimplifyExprOpts`. Provide initialization functions
   for those in a new module GHC.Driver.Config.Core.Opt.Simplify.
   Also added initialization functions for `SimplMode` to that module.

 * Moved `CoreToDo` and friends to a new module GHC.Core.Pipeline.Types
   and the counting types and functions (`SimplCount` and `Tick`) to new
   module GHC.Core.Opt.Stats.

 * Added getter functions for the fields of `SimplMode`. The pedantic bottoms
   option and the platform are retrieved from the ArityOpts and RuleOpts and the
   getter functions allow us to retrieve values from `SpecEnv` without the
   knowledge where the data is stored exactly.

 * Moved the coercion optimization options from the top environment to
   `SimplMode`. This way the values left in the top environment are those
   dealing with monadic functionality, namely logging, IO related stuff and
   counting. Added a note "The environments of the Simplify pass".

 * Removed `CoreToDo` from GHC.Core.Lint and GHC.CoreToStg.Prep and got rid of
   `CoreDoSimplify`. Pass `SimplifyOpts` in the `CoreToDo` type instead.

 * Prep work before removing `InteractiveContext` from `HscEnv`.

Make the specialiser deal better with specialised methods

This patch fixes #21848, by being more careful to update unfoldings
in the type-class specialiser.

See the new Note [Update unfolding after specialisation]

Now that we are being so much more careful about unfoldings,
it turned out that I could dispense with se_interesting, and
all its tricky corners. Hooray.  This fixes #21368.

ghc-boot: Clean up UTF-8 codecs

In preparation for moving the UTF-8 codecs into `base`:

* Move them to GHC.Utils.Encoding.UTF8
* Make names more consistent
* Add some Haddocks

base: Introduce GHC.Encoding.UTF8

Here we copy a subset of the UTF-8 implementation living in `ghc-boot`
into `base`, with the intent of dropping the former in the future. For
this reason, the `ghc-boot` copy is now CPP-guarded on
`MIN_VERSION_base(4,18,0)`.

Naturally, we can't copy *all* of the functions defined by `ghc-boot` as
some depend upon `bytestring`; we rather just copy those which only
depend upon `base` and `ghc-prim`.

Further consolidation?
----------------------

Currently GHC ships with at least five UTF-8 implementations:

* the implementation used by GHC in `ghc-boot:GHC.Utils.Encoding`; this
  can be used at a number of types including `Addr#`, `ByteArray#`,
  `ForeignPtr`, `Ptr`, `ShortByteString`, and `ByteString`. Most of this
  can be removed in GHC 9.6+2, when the copies in `base` will become
  available to `ghc-boot`.
* the copy of the `ghc-boot` definition now exported by
  `base:GHC.Encoding.UTF8`. This can be used at `Addr#`, `Ptr`,
  `ByteArray#`, and `ForeignPtr`
* the decoder used by `unpackCStringUtf8#` in `ghc-prim:GHC.CString`;
  this is specialised at `Addr#`.
* the codec used by the IO subsystem in `base:GHC.IO.Encoding.UTF8`;
  this is specialised at `Addr#` but, unlike the above, supports
  recovery in the presence of partial codepoints (since in IO contexts
  codepoints may be broken across buffers)
* the implementation provided by the `text` library

This does seem a tad silly. On the other hand, these implementations
*do* materially differ from one another (e.g. in the types they support,
the detail in errors they can report, and the ability to recover from
partial codepoints). Consequently, it's quite unclear that further
consolidate would be worthwhile.

Implement DeepSubsumption

This MR adds the language extension -XDeepSubsumption, implementing
GHC proposal #511.  This change mitigates the impact of GHC proposal

The changes are highly localised, by design.  See Note [Deep subsumption]
in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.

The main changes are:

* Add -XDeepSubsumption, which is on by default in Haskell98 and Haskell2010,
  but off in Haskell2021.

  -XDeepSubsumption largely restores the behaviour before the "simple subsumption" change.
  -XDeepSubsumpition has a similar flavour as -XNoMonoLocalBinds:
  it makes type inference more complicated and less predictable, but it
  may be convenient in practice.

* The main changes are in:
  * GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.tcSubType, which does deep susumption and eta-expanansion
  * GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.tcSkolemiseET, which does deep skolemisation
  * In GHC.Tc.Gen.App.tcApp we call tcSubTypeNC to match the result
    type. Without deep subsumption, unifyExpectedType would be sufficent.

  See Note [Deep subsumption] in GHC.Tc.Utils.Unify.

* There are no changes to Quick Look at all.

* The type of `withDict` becomes ambiguous; so add -XAllowAmbiguousTypes to
  GHC.Magic.Dict

* I fixed a small but egregious bug in GHC.Core.FVs.varTypeTyCoFVs, where
  we'd forgotten to take the free vars of the multiplicity of an Id.

* I also had to fix tcSplitNestedSigmaTys

  When I did the shallow-subsumption patch
    commit 2b792facab46f7cdd09d12e79499f4e0dcd4293f
    Date:   Sun Feb 2 18:23:11 2020 +0000
    Simple subsumption

  I changed tcSplitNestedSigmaTys to not look through function arrows
  any more.  But that was actually an un-forced change.  This function
  is used only in

  * Improving error messages in GHC.Tc.Gen.Head.addFunResCtxt
  * Validity checking for default methods: GHC.Tc.TyCl.checkValidClass
  * A couple of calls in the GHCi debugger: GHC.Runtime.Heap.Inspect

  All to do with validity checking and error messages. Acutally its
  fine to look under function arrows here, and quite useful a test
  DeepSubsumption05 (a test motivated by a build failure in the
  `lens` package) shows.

  The fix is easy.  I added Note [tcSplitNestedSigmaTys].

Default implementation for mempty/(<>)

Approved by: https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/61

This adds a default implementation for `mempty` and `(<>)` along
with a matching `MINIMAL` pragma so that `Semigroup` and `Monoid`
instances can be defined in terms of `sconcat` / `mconcat`.

The description for each class has also been updated to include the
equivalent set of laws for the `sconcat`-only / `mconcat`-only
instances.

GHC doesn't consistently require the ConstraintKinds extension to

a constraint without this extension.

MR !7784 fixes this infelicity, but breaking user programs was deemed
to not be worth it, so we document it instead.

by eliminating the (recently introduced) data type FinalDecision.

   Refactor wantToUnboxArg a bit

make worker/wrapper go into an infinite loop.  This patch
fixes it by narrowing the handling of case (B) of
Note [Boxity for bottoming functions], to deal only the
arguemnts that are type variables.  Only then do we drop
the trimBoxity call, which is what caused the bug.

I also
* Added documentation of case (B), which was previously
  completely un-mentioned.  And a regression test,
  T21888a, to test it.

* Made unboxDeeplyDmd stop at lazy demands.  It's rare anyway
  for a bottoming function to have a lazy argument (mainly when
  the data type is recursive and then we don't want to unbox
  deeply).  Plus there is Note [No lazy, Unboxed demands in
  demand signature]

* Refactored the Case equation for dmdAnal a bit, to do less
  redundant pattern matching.

Gergo points out (#21801) that GHC.Core.Opt.Arity.tryEtaReduce was

Fix #21889, GHCi misbehaves with Ctrl-C on Windows

On Windows, we create multiple levels of wrappers for GHCi which ultimately
execute ghc --interactive. In order to handle console events properly, each of
these wrappers must call FreeConsole() in order to hand off event processing to
the child process. See #14150.

In addition to this, FreeConsole must only be called from interactive processes (#13411).

This commit makes two changes to fix this situation:

1. The hadrian wrappers generated using `hadrian/bindist/cwrappers/version-wrapper.c` call `FreeConsole`
   if the CPP flag INTERACTIVE_PROCESS is set, which is set when we are generating a wrapper for GHCi.
2. The GHCi wrapper in `driver/ghci/` calls the `ghc-$VER.exe` executable which is not wrapped rather
   than calling `ghc.exe` is is wrapped on windows (and usually non-interactive, so can't call `FreeConsole`:

   Before:
   ghci-$VER.exe calls ghci.exe which calls ghc.exe which calls ghc-$VER.exe

   After:
   ghci-$VER.exe calls ghci.exe which calls ghc-$VER.exe

Teach SpecConstr about typeDeterminesValue

This patch addresses #21831, point 2.  See
Note [generaliseDictPats] in SpecConstr

I took the opportunity to refactor the construction of specialisation
rules a bit, so that the rule name says what type we are specialising
at.

Surprisingly, there's a 20% decrease in compile time for test
perf/compiler/T18223. I took a look at it, and the code size seems the
same throughout. I did a quick ticky profile which seemed to show a
bit less substitution going on.  Hmm.  Maybe it's the "don't do
eta-expansion in stable unfoldings" patch, which is part of the
same MR as this patch.

Anyway, since it's a move in the right direction, I didn't think it
was worth looking into further.

rts/nonmoving: Don't scavenge objects which weren't evacuated

This fixes a rather subtle bug in the logic responsible for scavenging
objects evacuated to the non-moving generation. In particular, objects
can be allocated into the non-moving generation by two ways:

 a. evacuation out of from-space by the garbage collector
 b. direct allocation by the mutator

Like all evacuation, objects moved by (a) must be scavenged, since they
may contain references to other objects located in from-space. To
accomplish this we have the following scheme:

 * each nonmoving segment's block descriptor has a scan pointer which
   points to the first object which has yet to be scavenged

 * the GC tracks a set of "todo" segments which have pending scavenging
   work

 * to scavenge a segment, we scavenge each of the unmarked blocks
   between the scan pointer and segment's `next_free` pointer.

   We skip marked blocks since we know the allocator wouldn't have
   allocated into marked blocks (since they contain presumably live
   data).

   We can stop at `next_free` since, by
   definition, the GC could not have evacuated any objects to blocks
   above `next_free` (otherwise `next_free wouldn't be the first free
   block).

However, this neglected to consider objects allocated by path (b).
In short, the problem is that objects directly allocated by the mutator
may become unreachable (but not swept, since the containing segment is
not yet full), at which point they may contain references to swept objects.
Specifically, we observed this in #21885 in the following way:

1. the mutator (specifically in #21885, a `lockCAF`) allocates an object
   (specifically a blackhole, which here we will call `blkh`; see Note
   [Static objects under the nonmoving collector] for the reason why) on
   the non-moving heap. The bitmap of the allocated block remains 0
   (since allocation doesn't affect the bitmap) and the containing
   segment's (which we will call `blkh_seg`) `next_free` is advanced.
2. We enter the blackhole, evaluating the blackhole to produce a result
   (specificaly a cons cell) in the nursery
3. The blackhole gets updated into an indirection pointing to the cons
   cell; it is pushed to the generational remembered set
4. we perform a GC, the cons cell is evacuated into the nonmoving heap
   (into segment `cons_seg`)
5. the cons cell is marked
6. the GC concludes
7. the CAF and blackhole become unreachable
8. `cons_seg` is filled
9. we start another GC; the cons cell is swept
10. we start a new GC
11. something is evacuated into `blkh_seg`, adding it to the "todo" list
12. we attempt to scavenge `blkh_seg` (namely, all unmarked blocks
    between `scan` and `next_free`, which includes `blkh`). We attempt to
    evacuate `blkh`'s indirectee, which is the previously-swept cons cell.
    This is unsafe, since the indirectee is no longer a valid heap
    object.

The problem here was that the scavenging logic *assumed* that (a) was
the only source of allocations into the non-moving heap and therefore
*all* unmarked blocks between `scan` and `next_free` were evacuated.
However, due to (b) this is not true.

The solution is to ensure that that the scanned region only encompasses
the region of objects allocated during evacuation. We do this by
updating `scan` as we push the segment to the todo-segment list to
point to the block which was evacuated into.

Doing this required changing the nonmoving scavenging implementation's
update of the `scan` pointer to bump it *once*, instead of after
scavenging each block as was done previously. This is because we may end
up evacuating into the segment being scavenged as we scavenge it. This
was quite tricky to discover but the result is quite simple,
demonstrating yet again that global mutable state should be used
exceedingly sparingly.

Fixes #21885

hadrian: add flag disabling selftest rules which require QuickCheck

The hadrian executable depends on QuickCheck for building, meaning this
library (and its dependencies) will need to be built for bootstrapping
GHC in the future. Building QuickCheck, however, can require
TemplateHaskell. When building a statically linking GHC toolchain,
TemplateHaskell can be tricky to get to work, and cross-compiling
TemplateHaskell doesn't work at all without -fexternal-interpreter,
so QuickCheck introduces an element of fragility to GHC's bootstrap.

Since the selftest rules are the only part of hadrian that need
QuickCheck, we can easily eliminate this bootstrap dependency when
required by introducing a `selftest` flag guarding the rules' inclusion.

Closes #8699.

Remove TCvSubst and use Subst for both term and type-level subst

This patch removes the TCvSubst data type and instead uses Subst as
the environment for both term and type level substitution. This
change is partially motivated by the existential type proposal,
which will introduce types that contain expressions and therefore
forces us to carry around an "IdSubstEnv" even when substituting for
types. It also reduces the amount of code because "Subst" and
"TCvSubst" share a lot of common operations. There isn't any
noticeable impact on performance (geo. mean for ghc/alloc is around
0.0% but we have -94 loc and one less data type to worry abount).

Currently, the "TCvSubst" data type for substitution on types is
identical to the "Subst" data type except the former doesn't store
"IdSubstEnv". Using "Subst" for type-level substitution means there
will be a redundant field stored in the data type. However, in cases
where the substitution starts from the expression, using "Subst" for
type-level substitution saves us from having to project "Subst" into a
"TCvSubst". This probably explains why the allocation is mostly even
despite the redundant field.

The patch deletes "TCvSubst" and moves "Subst" and its relevant
functions from "GHC.Core.Subst" into "GHC.Core.TyCo.Subst".
Substitution on expressions is still defined in "GHC.Core.Subst" so we
don't have to expose the definition of "Expr" in the hs-boot file that
"GHC.Core.TyCo.Subst" must import to refer to "IdSubstEnv" (whose
codomain is "CoreExpr"). Most functions named fooTCvSubst are renamed
into fooSubst with a few exceptions (e.g. "isEmptyTCvSubst" is a
distinct function from "isEmptySubst"; the former ignores the
emptiness of "IdSubstEnv"). These exceptions mainly exist for
performance reasons and will go away when "Expr" and "Type" are
mutually recursively defined (we won't be able to take those
shortcuts if we can't make the assumption that expressions don't
appear in types).

Fix leaks in --make mode when there are module loops

This patch fixes quite a tricky leak where we would end up retaining
stale ModDetails due to rehydrating modules against non-finalised
interfaces.

== Loops with multiple boot files

It is possible for a module graph to have a loop (SCC, when ignoring boot files)
which requires multiple boot files to break. In this case we must perform the
necessary hydration steps before and after compiling modules which have boot files
which are described above for corectness but also perform an additional hydration step
at the end of the SCC to remove space leaks.

Consider the following example:

┌───────┐   ┌───────┐
│       │   │       │
│   A   │   │   B   │
│       │   │       │
└─────┬─┘   └───┬───┘
      │         │
 ┌────▼─────────▼──┐
 │                 │
 │        C        │
 └────┬─────────┬──┘
      │         │
 ┌────▼──┐  ┌───▼───┐
 │       │  │       │
 │ A-boot│  │ B-boot│
 │       │  │       │
 └───────┘  └───────┘

 A, B and C live together in a SCC. Say we compile the modules in order
 A-boot, B-boot, C, A, B then when we compile A we will perform the hydration steps
 (because A has a boot file). Therefore C will be hydrated relative to A, and the
 ModDetails for A will reference C/A. Then when B is compiled C will be rehydrated again,
 and so B will reference C/A,B, its interface will be hydrated relative to both A and B.
 Now there is a space leak because say C is a very big module, there are now two different copies of
 ModDetails kept alive by modules A and B.

The way to avoid this space leak is to rehydrate an entire SCC together at the
end of compilation so that all the ModDetails point to interfaces for .hs files.
In this example, when we hydrate A, B and C together then both A and B will refer to
C/A,B.

See #21900 for some more discussion.

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

In addition to this simple case, there is also the potential for a leak
during parallel upsweep which is also fixed by this patch. Transcibed is
Note [ModuleNameSet, efficiency and space leaks]

Note [ModuleNameSet, efficiency and space leaks]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During unsweep the results of compiling modules are placed into a MVar, to find
the environment the module needs to compile itself in the MVar is consulted and
the HomeUnitGraph is set accordingly. The reason we do this is that precisely tracking
module dependencies and recreating the HUG from scratch each time is very expensive.

In serial mode (-j1), this all works out fine because a module can only be compiled after
its dependencies have finished compiling and not interleaved with compiling module loops.
Therefore when we create the finalised or no loop interfaces, the HUG only contains
finalised interfaces.

In parallel mode, we have to be more careful because the HUG variable can contain
non-finalised interfaces which have been started by another thread. In order to avoid
a space leak where a finalised interface is compiled against a HPT which contains a
non-finalised interface we have to restrict the HUG to only the visible modules.

The visible modules is recording in the ModuleNameSet, this is propagated upwards
whilst compiling and explains which transitive modules are visible from a certain point.
This set is then used to restrict the HUG before the module is compiled to only
the visible modules and thus avoiding this tricky space leak.

Efficiency of the ModuleNameSet is of utmost importance because a union occurs for
each edge in the module graph. Therefore the set is represented directly as an IntSet
which provides suitable performance, even using a UniqSet (which is backed by an IntMap) is
too slow. The crucial test of performance here is the time taken to a do a no-op build in --make mode.

See test "jspace" for an example which used to trigger this problem.

Fixes #21900

Store interfaces in ModIfaceCache more directly

I realised hydration was completely irrelavant for this cache because
the ModDetails are pruned from the result. So now it simplifies things a
lot to just store the ModIface and Linkable, which we can put into the
cache straight away rather than wait for the final version of a
HomeModInfo to appear.

Change `-fprof-late` to insert cost centres after unfolding creation.

The former behaviour of adding cost centres after optimization but
before unfoldings are created is not available via the flag
`prof-late-inline` instead.

I also reduced the overhead of -fprof-late* by pushing the cost centres
into lambdas. This means the cost centres will only account for
execution of functions and not their partial application.

Further I made LATE_CC cost centres it's own CC flavour so they now
won't clash with user defined ones if a user uses the same string for
a custom scc.

LateCC: Don't put cost centres inside constructor workers.

With -fprof-late they are rarely useful as the worker is usually
inlined. Even if the worker is not inlined or we use -fprof-late-linline
they are generally not helpful but bloat compile and run time
significantly. So we just don't add sccs inside constructor workers.

used like this:

  -fplugin-library=path/to/plugin.so;package-123;Plugin.Module;["Argument","List"]

It allows a plugin to be loaded directly from a shared library. With
this approach, GHC doesn't compile anything for the plugin and doesn't
load any .hi file for the plugin and its dependencies. As such GHC
doesn't need to support two environments (one for plugins, one for
target code), which was the more ambitious approach tracked in #14335.

hadrian: Don't attempt to install documentation if doc/ doesn't exist

Previously we would attempt to install documentation even if the `doc`
directory doesn't exist (e.g. due to `--docs=none`). This would result
in the surprising side-effect of the entire contents of the bindist
being installed in the destination documentation directory. Fix this.

Fixes #21976.

ncg/aarch64: Don't use x18 register on AArch64/Darwin

Apple's ABI documentation [1] says: "The platforms reserve register x18.
Don’t use this register." While this wasn't problematic in previous
Darwin releases, macOS 13 appears to start zeroing this register
periodically. See #21964.

EPA: DotFieldOcc does not have exact print annotations

For the code

    {-# LANGUAGE OverloadedRecordUpdate #-}

    operatorUpdate f = f{(+) = 1}

There are no exact print annotations for the parens around the +
symbol, nor does normal ppr print them.

This MR fixes that.

Closes #21805

CmmToLlvm: Don't aliasify builtin LLVM variables

Our aliasification logic would previously turn builtin LLVM variables
into aliases, which apparently confuses LLVM. This manifested in
initializers failing to be emitted, resulting in many profiling failures
with the LLVM backend.

Fixes #22019.

run_ci: remove monoidal-containers

Fixes #21492

MonoidalMap is inlined and used to implement Variables, as before.

The top-level value "jobs" is reimplemented as a regular Map, since it
doesn't use the monoidal union anyway.

Implement Response File support for HPC

This is an improvement to HPC authored by Richard Wallace
(https://github.com/purefn) and myself. I have received permission from
him to attempt to upstream it. This improvement was originally
implemented as a patch to HPC via input-output-hk/haskell.nix:
https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/pull/1464

Paraphrasing Richard, HPC currently requires all inputs as command line arguments.
With large projects this can result in an argument list too long error.
I have only seen this error in Nix, but I assume it can occur is a plain Unix environment.

This MR adds the standard response file syntax support to HPC. For
example you can now pass a file to the command line which contains the
arguments.

```
hpc @response_file_1 @response_file_2 ...

The contents of a Response File must have this format:
COMMAND ...

example:
report my_library.tix --include=ModuleA --include=ModuleB
```

Updates hpc submodule

driver: Honour -x option

The -x option is used to manually specify which phase a file should be
started to be compiled from (even if it lacks the correct extension). I
just failed to implement this when refactoring the driver.

In particular Cabal calls GHC with `-E -cpp -x hs Foo.cpphs` to
preprocess source files using GHC.

I added a test to exercise this case.

compiler: Drop --build-id=none hack

Since 2011 the object-joining implementation has had a hack to pass
`--build-id=none` to `ld` when supported, seemingly to work around a
linker bug. This hack is now unnecessary and may break downstream users
who expect objects to have valid build-ids. Remove it.

Closes #22060.

haddock docs: Fix links from identifiers to dependent packages

When implementing the base_url changes I made the pretty bad mistake of

thing to do is just modify `haddockDependencies` to also return the
package identifier so that everything stays in sync.
