rts: don't enforce aligned((8)) on 32-bit targets

We simply need to align to the word size for pointer tagging to work. On
32-bit targets, aligned((8)) is wasteful.

Export symbolSing, SSymbol, and friends (CLC#85)

This implements this Core Libraries Proposal:
https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/85

In particular, it:

1. Exposes the `symbolSing` method of `KnownSymbol`,
2. Exports the abstract `SSymbol` type used in `symbolSing`, and
3. Defines an API for interacting with `SSymbol`.

This also makes corresponding changes for `natSing`/`KnownNat`/`SNat` and
`charSing`/`KnownChar`/`SChar`. This fixes #15183 and addresses part (2)
of #21568.

Parser/PostProcess: rename failOp* functions

There are three functions named failOp* in the parser:
	failOpNotEnabledImportQualifiedPost
	failOpImportQualifiedTwice
	failOpFewArgs
Only the last one has anything to do with operators. The other two
were named this way either by mistake or due to a misunderstanding of
what "op" stands for. This small patch corrects this.

Make rewrite rules "win" over inlining

If a rewrite rule and a rewrite rule compete in the simplifier, this
patch makes sure that the rewrite rule "win".  That is, in general
a bit fragile, but it's a huge help when making specialisation work
reliably, as #21851 and #22097 showed.

The change is fairly straightforwad, and documented in
   Note [Rewrite rules and inlining]
in GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Iteration.

Compile-times change, up and down a bit -- in some cases because
we get better specialisation.  But the payoff (more reliable
specialisation) is large.

* fibheaps: there was a very delicately balanced inlining that
  tipped over the wrong way after this change.

* cryptarithm2 and paraffins are caused by #22274, which is
  a separate issue really.  (I.e. the right fix is *not* to
  make inlining "win" over rules.)

So I'm accepting these changes

Tidy implicit binds

We want to put implicit binds into fat interface files, so the easiest
thing to do seems to be to treat them uniformly with other binders.

Interface Files with Core Definitions

This commit adds three new flags

* -fwrite-if-simplified-core: Writes the whole core program into an interface
  file
* -fbyte-code-and-object-code: Generate both byte code and object code
  when compiling a file
* -fprefer-byte-code: Prefer to use byte-code if it's available when
  running TH splices.

The goal for including the core bindings in an interface file is to be able to restart the compiler pipeline
at the point just after simplification and before code generation. Once compilation is
restarted then code can be created for the byte code backend.
This can significantly speed up
start-times for projects in GHCi. HLS already implements its own version of these extended interface
files for this reason.

Preferring to use byte-code means that we can avoid some potentially
expensive code generation steps (see #21700)

* Producing object code is much slower than producing bytecode, and normally you
  need to compile with `-dynamic-too` to produce code in the static and dynamic way, the
  dynamic way just for Template Haskell execution when using a dynamically linked compiler.

* Linking many large object files, which happens once per splice, can be quite
  expensive compared to linking bytecode.

And you can get GHC to compile the necessary byte code so
`-fprefer-byte-code` has access to it by using
`-fbyte-code-and-object-code`.

Fixes #21067

Teach -fno-code about -fprefer-byte-code

This patch teachs the code generation logic of -fno-code about
-fprefer-byte-code, so that if we need to generate code for a module
which prefers byte code, then we generate byte code rather than object
code.

We keep track separately which modules need object code and which byte
code and then enable the relevant code generation for each. Typically
the option will be enabled globally so one of these sets should be empty
and we will just turn on byte code or object code generation.

We also fix the bug where we would generate code for a module which
enables Template Haskell despite the fact it was unecessary.

Fixes #22016

Don't keep exit join points so much

We were religiously keeping exit join points throughout, which
had some bad effects (#21148, #22084).

This MR does two things:

* Arranges that exit join points are inhibited from inlining
  only in /one/ Simplifier pass (right after Exitification).

  See Note [Be selective about not-inlining exit join points]
  in GHC.Core.Opt.Exitify

  It's not a big deal, but it shaves 0.1% off compile times.

* Inline used-once non-recursive join points very aggressively
  Given join j x = rhs in
        joinrec k y = ....j x....

  where this is the only occurrence of `j`, we want to inline `j`.
  (Unless sm_keep_exits is on.)

  See Note [Inline used-once non-recursive join points] in
  GHC.Core.Opt.Simplify.Utils

  This is just a tidy-up really.  It doesn't change allocation, but
  getting rid of a binding is always good.

Very effect on nofib -- some up and down.

Make SpecConstr bale out less often

When doing performance debugging on #22084 / !8901, I found that the
algorithm in SpecConstr.decreaseSpecCount was so aggressive that if
there were /more/ specialisations available for an outer function,
that could more or less kill off specialisation for an /inner/
function.  (An example was in nofib/spectral/fibheaps.)

This patch makes it a bit more aggressive, by dividing by 2, rather
than by the number of outer specialisations.

This makes the program bigger, temporarily:

   T19695(normal) ghc/alloc   +11.3% BAD

because we get more specialisation.  But lots of other programs
compile a bit faster and the geometric mean in perf/compiler
is 0.0%.

CmmToC: emit explicit tail calls when the C compiler supports it

Clang 13+ supports annotating a return statement using the musttail
attribute, which guarantees that it lowers to a tail call if compilation
succeeds.

This patch takes advantage of that feature for the unregisterised code
generator. The configure script tests availability of the musttail
attribute, if it's available, the Cmm tail calls will become C tail
calls that avoids the mini interpreter trampoline overhead. Nothing is
affected if the musttail attribute is not supported.

https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#musttail

Don't include BufPos in interface files

Ticket #22162 pointed out that the build directory was leaking into the
ABI hash of a module because the BufPos depended on the location of the
build tree.

BufPos is only used in GHC.Parser.PostProcess.Haddock, and the
information doesn't need to be propagated outside the context of a
module.

Refactor IPE initialization

Here we refactor the representation of info table provenance information
in object code to significantly reduce its size and link-time impact.
Specifically, we deduplicate strings and represent them as 32-bit
offsets into a common string table.

In addition, we rework the registration logic to eliminate allocation
from the registration path, which is run from a static initializer where
things like allocation are technically undefined behavior (although it
did previously seem to work). For similar reasons we eliminate lock
usage from registration path, instead relying on atomic CAS.

Closes #22077.

Add a perf test for the generics code pattern from #21839.

This code showed a strong shift between compile time (got worse) and
run time (got a lot better) recently which is perfectly acceptable.

However it wasn't clear why the compile time regression was happening
initially so I'm adding this test to make it easier to track such changes
in the future.

ncg/aarch64: Fix sub-word sign extension yet again

In adc7f108141a973b6dcb02a7836eed65d61230e8 we fixed a number of issues
to do with sign extension in the AArch64 NCG found by ghc/test-primops>.
However, this patch made a critical error, assuming that getSomeReg
would allocate a fresh register for the result of its evaluation.
However, this is not the case as `getSomeReg (CmmReg r) == r`.
Consequently, any mutation of the register returned by `getSomeReg` may
have unwanted side-effects on other expressions also mentioning `r`. In
the fix listed above, this manifested as the registers containing the
operands of binary arithmetic operations being incorrectly
sign-extended. This resulted in #22282.

Sadly, the rather simple structure of the tests generated
by `test-primops` meant that this particular case was not exercised.
Even more surprisingly, none of our testsuite caught this case.

Here we fix this by ensuring that intermediate sign extension is
performed in a fresh register.

Fixes #22282.

DmdAnal: Look through unfoldings of DataCon wrappers (#22241)

Previously, the demand signature we computed upfront for a DataCon wrapper

lacked boxity information and was much less precise than the demand transformer

for the DataCon worker.

In this patch we adopt the solution to look through unfoldings of DataCon

wrappers during Demand Analysis, but still attach a demand signature for other

passes such as the Simplifier.

See `Note [DmdAnal for DataCon wrappers]` for more details.

Add `Enum (Down a)` instance that swaps `succ` and `pred`

See https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/51 for
discussion. The key points driving the implementation are the following
two ideas:

* For the `Int` type, `comparing (complement @Int)` behaves exactly as
  an order-swapping `compare @Int`.
* `enumFrom @(Down a)` can be implemented in terms of `enumFromThen @a`,
  if only the corner case of starting at the very end is handled specially

Update the check-exact infrastructure to match ghc-exactprint

GHC tests the exact print annotations using the contents of
utils/check-exact.

The same functionality is provided via
https://github.com/alanz/ghc-exactprint

The latter was updated to ensure it works with all of the files on
hackage when 9.2 was released, as well as updated to ensure users of
the library could work properly (apply-refact, retrie, etc).

This commit brings the changes from ghc-exactprint into
GHC/utils/check-exact, adapting for the changes to master.

Once it lands, it will form the basis for the 9.4 version of
ghc-exactprint.

Fix GHCis interaction with tag inference.

I had assumed that wrappers were not inlined in interactive mode.
Meaning we would always execute the compiled wrapper which properly
takes care of upholding the strict field invariant.
This turned out to be wrong. So instead we now run tag inference even
when we generate bytecode. In that case only for correctness not
performance reasons although it will be still beneficial for runtime
in some cases.

I further fixed a bug where GHCi didn't tag nullary constructors
properly when used as arguments. Which caused segfaults when calling
into compiled functions which expect the strict field invariant to
be upheld.

Allow configuration of error message printing

This MR implements the idea of #21731 that the printing of a diagnostic
method should be configurable at the printing time.

The interface of the `Diagnostic` class is modified from:

```
class Diagnostic a where
  diagnosticMessage :: a -> DecoratedSDoc
  diagnosticReason  :: a -> DiagnosticReason
  diagnosticHints   :: a -> [GhcHint]
```

to

```
class Diagnostic a where
  type DiagnosticOpts a
  defaultDiagnosticOpts :: DiagnosticOpts a
  diagnosticMessage :: DiagnosticOpts a -> a -> DecoratedSDoc
  diagnosticReason  :: a -> DiagnosticReason
  diagnosticHints   :: a -> [GhcHint]
```

and so each `Diagnostic` can implement their own configuration record
which can then be supplied by a client in order to dictate how to print
out the error message.

At the moment this only allows us to implement #21722 nicely but in
future it is more natural to separate the configuration of how much
information we put into an error message and how much we decide to print
out of it.

Add -fsuppress-error-contexts to disable printing error contexts in errors

In many development environments, the source span is the primary means
of seeing what an error message relates to, and the In the expression:
and In an equation for: clauses are not particularly relevant. However,
they can grow to be quite long, which can make the message itself both
feel overwhelming and interact badly with limited-space areas.

It's simple to implement this flag so we might as well do it and give
the user control about how they see their messages.

Cmm Lint: relax SIMD register assignment check

As noted in #22297, SIMD vector registers can be used
to store different kinds of values, e.g. xmm1 can be used
both to store integer and floating point values.
The Cmm type system doesn't properly account for this, so
we weaken the Cmm register assignment lint check to only
compare widths when comparing a vector type with its
allocated vector register.

remove a no-warn directive from GHC.Cmm.ContFlowOpt

This patch is motivated by the desire to remove the {-# OPTIONS_GHC
-fno-warn-incomplete-patterns #-} directive at the top of
GHC.Cmm.ContFlowOpt. (Based on the text in this coding standards doc, I
understand it's a goal of the project to remove such directives.) I
chose this task because I'm a new contributor to GHC, and it seemed like
a good way to get acquainted with the patching process.

In order to address the warning that arose when I removed the no-warn
directive, I added a case to removeUnreachableBlocksProc to handle the
CmmData constructor. Clearly, since this partial function has not been
erroring out in the wild, its inputs are always in practice wrapped by
the CmmProc constructor. Therefore the CmmData case is handled by a
precise panic (which is an improvement over the partial pattern match
from before).

`HAVE_TIME_H` guard already anyway.

rts: remove use of `TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME`

`autoreconf` will insert an `m4_warning` when the obsolescent
`AC_HEADER_TIME` macro is used:

> Update your code to rely only on HAVE_SYS_TIME_H,
> then remove this warning and the obsolete code below it.
> All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for.
> Not all systems provide sys/time.h, but those that do, all allow
> you to include it and time.h simultaneously.

Presence of `sys/time.h` was already checked in an earlier
`AC_CHECK_HEADERS` invocation, so `AC_HEADER_TIME` can be dropped and
guards relying on `TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME` can be reworked to
(unconditionally) include `time.h` and include `sys/time.h` based on
`HAVE_SYS_TIME_H`.

Note the documentation of `AC_HEADER_TIME` in (at least) Autoconf 2.67
says

> This macro is obsolescent, as current systems can include both files
> when they exist. New programs need not use this macro.

Introduce a standard thunk for allocating strings

Currently for a top-level closure in the form

    hey = unpackCString# x

we generate code like this:

    Main.hey_entry() //  [R1]
             { info_tbls: [(c2T4,
                            label: Main.hey_info
                            rep: HeapRep static { Thunk }
                            srt: Nothing)]
               stack_info: arg_space: 8 updfr_space: Just 8
             }
         {offset
           c2T4: // global
               _rqm::P64 = R1;
               if ((Sp + 8) - 24 < SpLim) (likely: False) goto c2T5; else goto c2T6;
           c2T5: // global
               R1 = _rqm::P64;
               call (stg_gc_enter_1)(R1) args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8;
           c2T6: // global
               (_c2T1::I64) = call "ccall" arg hints:  [PtrHint,
                                                        PtrHint]  result hints:  [PtrHint] newCAF(BaseReg, _rqm::P64);
               if (_c2T1::I64 == 0) goto c2T3; else goto c2T2;
           c2T3: // global
               call (I64[_rqm::P64])() args: 8, res: 0, upd: 8;
           c2T2: // global
               I64[Sp - 16] = stg_bh_upd_frame_info;
               I64[Sp - 8] = _c2T1::I64;
               R2 = hey1_r2Gg_bytes;
               Sp = Sp - 16;
               call GHC.CString.unpackCString#_info(R2) args: 24, res: 0, upd: 24;
         }
     }

This code is generated for every string literal. Only difference between
top-level closures like this is the argument for the bytes of the string
(hey1_r2Gg_bytes in the code above).

With this patch we introduce a standard thunk in the RTS, called
stg_MK_STRING_info, that does what `unpackCString# x` does, except it
gets the bytes address from the payload. Using this, for the closure
above, we generate this:

    Main.hey_closure" {
        Main.hey_closure:
            const stg_MK_STRING_info;
            const 0; // padding for indirectee
            const 0; // static link
            const 0; // saved info
            const hey1_r1Gg_bytes; // the payload
    }

This is much smaller in code.

Fix binder-swap bug

This patch fixes #21229 properly, by avoiding doing a
binder-swap on dictionary Ids.  This is pretty subtle, and explained
in Note [Care with binder-swap on dictionaries].

Test is already in simplCore/should_run/T21229

This allows us to restore a feature to the specialiser that we had
to revert: see Note [Specialising polymorphic dictionaries].
(This is done in a separate patch.)

I also modularised things, using a new function scrutBinderSwap_maybe
in all the places where we are (effectively) doing a binder-swap,
notably

* Simplify.Iteration.addAltUnfoldings
* SpecConstr.extendCaseBndrs

In Simplify.Iteration.addAltUnfoldings I also eliminated a guard
    Many <- idMult case_bndr
because we concluded, in #22123, that it was doing no good.

Make the specialiser handle polymorphic specialisation

Ticket #13873 unexpectedly showed that a SPECIALISE pragma made a
program run (a lot) slower, because less specialisation took place
overall. It turned out that the specialiser was missing opportunities
because of quantified type variables.

It was quite easy to fix. The story is given in
    Note [Specialising polymorphic dictionaries]

Two other minor fixes in the specialiser

* There is no benefit in specialising data constructor /wrappers/.
  (They can appear overloaded because they are given a dictionary
  to store in the constructor.)  Small guard in canSpecImport.

* There was a buglet in the UnspecArg case of specHeader, in the
  case where there is a dead binder. We need a LitRubbish filler
  for the specUnfolding stuff.  I expanded
  Note [Drop dead args from specialisations] to explain.

There is a 4% increase in compile time for T15164, because we generate
more specialised code.  This seems OK.

Numeric exceptions: replace FFI calls with primops

ghc-bignum needs a way to raise numerical exceptions defined in base
package. At the time we used FFI calls into primops defined in the RTS.
These FFI calls had to be wrapped into hacky bottoming functions because
"foreign import prim" syntax doesn't support giving a bottoming demand
to the foreign call (cf #16929).

These hacky wrapper functions trip up the JavaScript backend (#21078)
because they are polymorphic in their return type. This commit
replaces them with primops very similar to raise# but raising predefined
exceptions.

Broaden the in-scope sets for liftEnvSubst and composeTCvSubst

This patch fixes two distinct (but closely related) buglets that were uncovered
in #22235:

* `liftEnvSubst` used an empty in-scope set, which was not wide enough to cover
  the variables in the range of the substitution. This patch fixes this by
  populating the in-scope set from the free variables in the range of the
  substitution.
* `composeTCvSubst` applied the first substitution argument to the range of the
  second substitution argument, but the first substitution's in-scope set was
  not wide enough to cover the range of the second substutition. We similarly
  fix this issue in this patch by widening the first substitution's in-scope set
  before applying it.

Introduce TcRnWithHsDocContext (#22346)

Before this patch, GHC used withHsDocContext to attach an HsDocContext
to an error message:

	addErr $ mkTcRnUnknownMessage $ mkPlainError noHints (withHsDocContext ctxt msg)

The problem with this approach is that it only works with
TcRnUnknownMessage. But could we attach an HsDocContext to a
structured error message in a generic way? This patch solves
the problem by introducing a new constructor to TcRnMessage:

	data TcRnMessage where
	  ...
	  TcRnWithHsDocContext :: !HsDocContext -> !TcRnMessage -> TcRnMessage

Use TcRnVDQInTermType in noNestedForallsContextsErr (#20115)

When faced with VDQ in the type of a term, GHC generates the following
error message:

	Illegal visible, dependent quantification in the type of a term
	(GHC does not yet support this)

Prior to this patch, there were two ways this message could have been
generated and represented:

	1. with the dedicated constructor TcRnVDQInTermType
	    (see check_type in GHC.Tc.Validity)
	2. with the transitional constructor TcRnUnknownMessage
	    (see noNestedForallsContextsErr in GHC.Rename.Utils)

Not only this led to duplication of code generating the final SDoc,
it also made it tricky to track the origin of the error message.

This patch fixes the problem by using TcRnVDQInTermType exclusively.

Minor SDoc-related cleanup

* Rename pprCLabel to pprCLabelStyle, and use the name pprCLabel
  for a function using CStyle (analogous to pprAsmLabel)
* Move LabelStyle to the CLabel module, it no longer needs to be in Outputable.
* Move calls to 'text' right next to literals, to make sure the text/str
  rule is triggered.
* Remove FastString/String roundtrip in Tc.Deriv.Generate
* Introduce showSDocForUser', which abstracts over a pattern in
  GHCi.UI

rts: `name` argument of `createOSThread` can be `const`

Since we don't intend to ever change the incoming string, declare this
to be true.

Also, in the POSIX implementation, the argument is no longer `STG_UNUSED`
(since ee0deb8054da2a597fc5624469b4c44fd769ada2) in any code path.

rts: fix lifetime of `start_thread`s `name` value

Since, unlike the code in ee0deb8054da2^, usage of the `name` value
passed to `createOSThread` now outlives said function's lifetime, and
could hence be released by the caller by the time the new thread runs
`start_thread`, it needs to be copied.

rts: fix OS thread naming in ticker

Since ee0deb805, the use of `pthread_setname_np` on Darwin was fixed
when invoking `createOSThread`. However, the 'ticker' has some
thread-creation code which doesn't rely on `createOSThread`, yet also
uses `pthread_setname_np`.

This patch enforces all thread creation to go through a single
function, which uses the (correct) thread-naming code introduced in
ee0deb805.

ThToHs: fix overzealous parenthesization

Before this patch, when converting from TH.Exp to LHsExpr GhcPs,
the compiler inserted more parentheses than required:

	((f a) (b + c)) d

This was happening because the LHS of the function application was
parenthesized as if it was the RHS.

Now we use funPrec and appPrec appropriately and produce sensibly
parenthesized expressions:

	f a (b + c) d

I also took the opportunity to remove the special case for LamE,
which was not special at all and simply duplicated code.

Fix TypeData issues (fixes #22315 and #22332)

There were two bugs here:

1. Treating type-level constructors as PromotedDataCon doesn't always
   work, in particular because constructors promoted via DataKinds are
   called both T and 'T. (Tests T22332a, T22332b, T22315a, T22315b)
   Fix: guard these cases with isDataKindsPromotedDataCon.

2. Type-level constructors were sent to the code generator, producing
   things like constructor wrappers. (Tests T22332a, T22332b)
   Fix: test for them in isDataTyCon.

Other changes:

* changed the marking of "type data" DataCon's as suggested by SPJ.

* added a test TDGADT for a type-level GADT.

* comment tweaks

* change tcIfaceTyCon to ignore IfaceTyConInfo, so that IfaceTyConInfo
  is used only for pretty printing, not for typechecking. (SPJ)

Fire RULES in the Specialiser

The Specialiser has, for some time, fires class-op RULES in the
specialiser itself: see
   Note [Specialisation modulo dictionary selectors]

This MR beefs it up a bit, so that it fires /all/ RULES in the
specialiser, not just class-op rules.  See
   Note [Fire rules in the specialiser]
The result is a bit more specialisation; see test
   simplCore/should_compile/T21851_2

This pushed me into a bit of refactoring.  I made a new data types
GHC.Core.Rules.RuleEnv, which combines
  - the several source of rules (local, home-package, external)
  - the orphan-module dependencies

in a single record for `getRules` to consult.  That drove a bunch of
follow-on refactoring, including allowing me to remove
cr_visible_orphan_mods from the CoreReader data type.

I moved some of the RuleBase/RuleEnv stuff into GHC.Core.Rule.

The reorganisation in the Simplifier improve compile times a bit
(geom mean -0.1%), but T9961 is an outlier

hadrian: add targetSupportsThreadedRts flag

This patch adds a targetSupportsThreadedRts flag to indicate whether
the target supports the threaded rts at all, different from existing
targetSupportsSMP that checks whether -N is supported by the RTS. All
existing flavours have also been updated accordingly to respect this
flags.

Some targets (e.g. wasm32-wasi) does not support the threaded rts,
therefore this flag is needed for the default flavours to work. It
makes more sense to have proper autoconf logic to check for threading
support, but for the time being, we just set the flag to False iff the
target is wasm32.

add the two key graph modules from Martin Erwig's FGL

Martin Erwig's FGL (Functional Graph Library) provides an "inductive"
representation of graphs.  A general graph has labeled nodes and
labeled edges.  The key operation on a graph is to decompose it by
removing one node, together with the edges that connect the node to
the rest of the graph.  There is also an inverse composition
operation.

The decomposition and composition operations make this representation
of graphs exceptionally well suited to implement graph algorithms in
which the graph is continually changing, as alluded to in #21259.

This commit adds `GHC.Data.Graph.Inductive.Graph`, which defines the
interface, and `GHC.Data.Graph.Inductive.PatriciaTree`, which provides
an implementation.  Both modules are taken from `fgl-5.7.0.3` on
Hackage, with these changes:

  - Copyright and license text have been copied into the files
    themselves, not stored separately.

  - Some calls to `error` have been replaced with calls to `panic`.

  - Conditional-compilation support for older versions of GHC,
    `containers`, and `base` has been removed.

rts: workaround cmm's improper variadic ccall breaking wasm32 typechecking

Unlike other targets, wasm requires the function signature of the call
site and callee to strictly match. So in Cmm, when we call a C
function that actually returns a value, we need to add an _unused
local variable to receive it, otherwise type error awaits.

An even bigger problem is calling variadic functions like barf() and
such. Cmm doesn't support CAPI calling convention yet, so calls to
variadic functions just happen to work in some cases with some
target's ABI. But again, it doesn't work with wasm. Fortunately, the
wasm C ABI lowers varargs to a stack pointer argument, and it can be
passed NULL when no other arguments are expected to be passed. So we
also add the additional unused NULL arguments to those functions, so
to fix wasm, while not affecting behavior on other targets.

rts: RtsStartup: chdir to PWD on wasm32

This patch adds a wasm32-specific behavior to RtsStartup logic. When
the PWD environment variable is present, we chdir() to it first.

The point is to workaround an issue in wasi-libc: it's currently not
possible to specify the initial working directory, it always defaults
to / (in the virtual filesystem mapped from some host directory). For
some use cases this is sufficient, but there are some other cases
(e.g. in the testsuite) where the program needs to access files
outside.

Due to the lack of threads, on wasm32 there can't be a background

disables timer for wasm32, and also makes the scheduler default to -C0

Use a more efficient printer for code generation (#21853)

The changes in `GHC.Utils.Outputable` are the bulk of the patch
and drive the rest.
The types `HLine` and `HDoc` in Outputable can be used instead of `SDoc`
and support printing directly to a handle with `bPutHDoc`.
See Note [SDoc versus HDoc] and Note [HLine versus HDoc].

The classes `IsLine` and `IsDoc` are used to make the existing code polymorphic
over `HLine`/`HDoc` and `SDoc`. This is done for X86, PPC, AArch64, DWARF
and dependencies (printing module names, labels etc.).

Type vs Constraint: finally nailed

This big patch addresses the rats-nest of issues that have plagued
us for years, about the relationship between Type and Constraint.
See #11715/#21623.

The main payload of the patch is:
* To introduce CONSTRAINT :: RuntimeRep -> Type
* To make TYPE and CONSTRAINT distinct throughout the compiler

Two overview Notes in GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim

* Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]

* Note [Type and Constraint are not apart]
  This is the main complication.

The specifics

* New primitive types (GHC.Builtin.Types.Prim)
  - CONSTRAINT
  - ctArrowTyCon (=>)
  - tcArrowTyCon (-=>)
  - ccArrowTyCon (==>)
  - funTyCon     FUN     -- Not new
  See Note [Function type constructors and FunTy]
  and Note [TYPE and CONSTRAINT]

* GHC.Builtin.Types:
  - New type Constraint = CONSTRAINT LiftedRep
  - I also stopped nonEmptyTyCon being built-in; it only needs to be wired-in

* Exploit the fact that Type and Constraint are distinct throughout GHC
  - Get rid of tcView in favour of coreView.
  - Many tcXX functions become XX functions.
    e.g. tcGetCastedTyVar --> getCastedTyVar

* Kill off Note [ForAllTy and typechecker equality], in (old)
  GHC.Tc.Solver.Canonical.  It said that typechecker-equality should ignore
  the specified/inferred distinction when comparein two ForAllTys.  But
  that wsa only weakly supported and (worse) implies that we need a separate
  typechecker equality, different from core equality. No no no.

* GHC.Core.TyCon: kill off FunTyCon in data TyCon.  There was no need for it,
  and anyway now we have four of them!

* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep: add two FunTyFlags to FunCo
  See Note [FunCo] in that module.

* GHC.Core.Type.  Lots and lots of changes driven by adding CONSTRAINT.
  The key new function is sORTKind_maybe; most other changes are built
  on top of that.

  See also `funTyConAppTy_maybe` and `tyConAppFun_maybe`.

* Fix a longstanding bug in GHC.Core.Type.typeKind, and Core Lint, in
  kinding ForAllTys.  See new tules (FORALL1) and (FORALL2) in GHC.Core.Type.
  (The bug was that before (forall (cv::t1 ~# t2). blah), where
  blah::TYPE IntRep, would get kind (TYPE IntRep), but it should be
  (TYPE LiftedRep).  See Note [Kinding rules for types] in GHC.Core.Type.

* GHC.Core.TyCo.Compare is a new module in which we do eqType and cmpType.
  Of course, no tcEqType any more.

* GHC.Core.TyCo.FVs. I moved some free-var-like function into this module:
  tyConsOfType, visVarsOfType, and occCheckExpand.  Refactoring only.

* GHC.Builtin.Types.  Compiletely re-engineer boxingDataCon_maybe to
  have one for each /RuntimeRep/, rather than one for each /Type/.
  This dramatically widens the range of types we can auto-box.
  See Note [Boxing constructors] in GHC.Builtin.Types
  The boxing types themselves are declared in library ghc-prim:GHC.Types.

  GHC.Core.Make.  Re-engineer the treatment of "big" tuples (mkBigCoreVarTup
  etc) GHC.Core.Make, so that it auto-boxes unboxed values and (crucially)
  types of kind Constraint. That allows the desugaring for arrows to work;
  it gathers up free variables (including dictionaries) into tuples.
  See  Note [Big tuples] in GHC.Core.Make.

  There is still work to do here: #22336. But things are better than
  before.

* GHC.Core.Make.  We need two absent-error Ids, aBSENT_ERROR_ID for types of
  kind Type, and aBSENT_CONSTRAINT_ERROR_ID for vaues of kind Constraint.
  Ditto noInlineId vs noInlieConstraintId in GHC.Types.Id.Make;
  see Note [inlineId magic].

* GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep. Completely refactor the NthCo coercion.  It is now called
  SelCo, and its fields are much more descriptive than the single Int we used to
  have.  A great improvement.  See Note [SelCo] in GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep.

* GHC.Core.RoughMap.roughMatchTyConName.  Collapse TYPE and CONSTRAINT to
  a single TyCon, so that the rough-map does not distinguish them.

* GHC.Core.DataCon
  - Mainly just improve documentation

* Some significant renamings:
  GHC.Core.Multiplicity: Many -->  ManyTy (easier to grep for)
                         One  -->  OneTy
  GHC.Core.TyCo.Rep TyCoBinder      -->   GHC.Core.Var.PiTyBinder
  GHC.Core.Var      TyCoVarBinder   -->   ForAllTyBinder
                    AnonArgFlag     -->   FunTyFlag
                    ArgFlag         -->   ForAllTyFlag
  GHC.Core.TyCon    TyConTyCoBinder --> TyConPiTyBinder
  Many functions are renamed in consequence
  e.g. isinvisibleArgFlag becomes isInvisibleForAllTyFlag, etc

* I refactored FunTyFlag (was AnonArgFlag) into a simple, flat data type
    data FunTyFlag
      = FTF_T_T           -- (->)  Type -> Type
      | FTF_T_C           -- (-=>) Type -> Constraint
      | FTF_C_T           -- (=>)  Constraint -> Type
      | FTF_C_C           -- (==>) Constraint -> Constraint

* GHC.Tc.Errors.Ppr.  Some significant refactoring in the TypeEqMisMatch case
  of pprMismatchMsg.

* I made the tyConUnique field of TyCon strict, because I
  saw code with lots of silly eval's.  That revealed that
  GHC.Settings.Constants.mAX_SUM_SIZE can only be 63, because
  we pack the sum tag into a 6-bit field.  (Lurking bug squashed.)

Fixes
* #21530

Updates haddock submodule slightly.

Performance changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was worried that compile times would get worse, but after
some careful profiling we are down to a geometric mean 0.1%
increase in allocation (in perf/compiler).  That seems fine.

There is a big runtime improvement in T10359

base: make Foreign.Marshal.Pool use RTS internal arena for allocation

`Foreign.Marshal.Pool` used to call `malloc` once for each allocation
request. Each `Pool` maintained a list of allocated pointers, and
traverses the list to `free` each one of those pointers. The extra O(n)
overhead is apparently bad for a `Pool` that serves a lot of small
allocation requests.

This patch uses the RTS internal arena to implement `Pool`, with these
benefits:

- Gets rid of the extra O(n) overhead.
- The RTS arena is simply a bump allocator backed by the block
  allocator, each allocation request is likely faster than a libc
  `malloc` call.

Closes #14762 #18338.

Optimize getLevity.

Avoid the intermediate data structures allocated by splitTyConApp.
This avoids ~0.5% of allocations for a build using -O2.

Fixes #22254
