testsuite: Delay querying ghc-pkg to find .so dirs until test is run

The tests which relied on find_so would fail when `test` was run
before the tree was built. This was because `find_so` was evaluated too
eagerly.

We can fix this by waiting to query the location of the libraries until
after the compiler has built them.

ci: Fix ghcup-metadata generation (again)

I made some mistakes in 203830065b81fe29003c1640a354f11661ffc604

* Syntax error
* The aarch-deb11 bindist doesn't exist

I tested against the latest nightly pipeline locally:

```

Fix -freg-graphs for FP and AARch64 NCG (#24941).

It seems we reserve 8 registers instead of four for global regs
based on the layout in Note [AArch64 Register assignments].

I'm not sure it's neccesary, but for now we just accept this state of
affairs and simple update -fregs-graph to account for this.

Fix nasty bug in occurrence analyser

As #25096 showed, the occurrence analyser was getting one-shot info
flat out wrong.

This commit does two things:

* It fixes the bug and actually makes the code a bit tidier too.
  The work is done in the new function
     GHC.Core.Opt.OccurAnal.mkRhsOccEnv,
  especially the bit that prepares the `occ_one_shots` for the RHS.

  See Note [The OccEnv for a right hand side]

* When floating out a binding we must be conservative about one-shot
  info.  But we were zapping the entire demand info, whereas we only
  really need zap the /top level/ cardinality.

  See Note [Floatifying demand info when floating]
  in GHC.Core.Opt.SetLevels

For some reason there is a 2.2% improvement in compile-time allocation
for CoOpt_Read.  Otherwise nickels and dimes.

Metric Decrease:
    CoOpt_Read

Only lookup ghcversion.h file in the RTS include-dirs by default.

The code was introduced in 3549c952b535803270872adaf87262f2df0295a4.
It used `getPackageIncludePath` which name doesn't convey that it looks
into all include paths of the preload units too. So this behavior is
probably unintentional and it should be ok to change it.

PMC: suggest in-scope COMPLETE sets when possible

This commit modifies GHC.HsToCore.Pmc.Solver.generateInhabitingPatterns
to prioritise reporting COMPLETE sets in which all of the ConLikes
are in scope. This avoids suggesting out of scope constructors
when displaying an incomplete pattern match warning, e.g. in

  baz :: Ordering -> Int
  baz = \case
    EQ -> 5

we prefer:

  Patterns of type 'Ordering' not matched:
      LT
      GT

over:

  Patterns of type 'Ordering' not matched:
      OutOfScope

Type syntax in expressions (#24159, #24572, #24226)

This patch extends the grammar of expressions with syntax that is
typically found only in types:
  * function types (a -> b), (a ->. b), (a %m -> b)
  * constrained types (ctx => t)
  * forall-quantification (forall tvs. t)

The new forms are guarded behind the RequiredTypeArguments extension,
as specified in GHC Proposal #281. Examples:

  {-# LANGUAGE RequiredTypeArguments #-}
  e1 = f (Int    -> String)          -- function type
  e2 = f (Int %1 -> String)          -- linear function type
  e3 = f (forall a. Bounded a => a)  -- forall type, constraint

The GHC AST and the TH AST have been extended as follows:

   syntax        | HsExpr   | TH.Exp
  ---------------+----------+--------------
   a -> b        | HsFunArr | ConE (->)
   a %m -> b     | HsFunArr | ConE FUN
   ctx => t      | HsQual   | ConstrainedE
   forall a. t   | HsForAll | ForallE
   forall a -> t | HsForAll | ForallVisE

Additionally, a new warning flag -Wview-pattern-signatures has been
introduced to aid with migration to the new precedence of (e -> p :: t).

Implement MultilineStrings (#24390)

This commit adds support for multiline strings, proposed at
https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/569.
Multiline strings can now be written as:

    myString =
      """
      this is a
      multiline string
      """

The multiline string will have leading indentation stripped away.
Full details of this post-processing may be found at the new
GHC.Parser.String module.

In order to cleanly implement this and maximize reusability, I
broke out the lexing logic for strings out of Lexer.x into a
new GHC.Parser.String module, which lexes strings with any
provided "get next character" function. This also gave us the
opportunity to clean up this logic, and even optimize it a bit.
With this change, parsing string literals now takes 25% less
time and 25% less space.

hi: Deterministic ImportedMods in Usages

The `mi_usages` field of the interface files must use a deterministic
list of `Usage`s to guarantee a deterministic interface. However, this
list was, in its origins, constructed from a `ModuleEnv` which uses a
non-deterministic ordering that was leaking into the interface.

Specifically, ImportedMods = ModuleEnv ... would get converted to a list and
then passed to `mkUsageInfo` to construct the Usages.

The solution is simple. Back `ImportedMods` with a deterministic map.
`Map Module ...` is enough, since the Ord instance for `Module` already
uses a stable, deterministic, comparison.

Fixes #25131

testsuite: extend size performance tests with gzip (fixes #25046)

The main purpose is to create tests for minimal app (hello world and its variations, i.e. unicode used) distribution size metric.

Many platforms support distribution in compressed form via gzip. It would be nice to collect information on how much size is taken by the executional bundle for each platform at minimal edge case.

2 groups of tests are added:
1. We extend javascript backend size tests with gzip-enabled versions for all cases where an optimizing compiler is used (for now it is google closure compiler).
2. We add trivial hello world tests with gzip-enabled versions for all other platforms at CI pipeline where no external optimizing compiler is used.

Cmm: don't perform unsound optimizations on 32-bit compiler hosts

- beef61351b240967b49169d27a9a19565cf3c4af enabled the use of
  MO_Add/MO_Sub for 64-bit operations in the C and LLVM backends
- 6755d833af8c21bbad6585144b10e20ac4a0a1ab did the same for the x86 NCG
  backend

However we store some literal values as `Int` in the compiler. As a
result, some Cmm optimizations transformed target 64-bit literals into
compiler `Int`. If the compiler is 32-bit, this leads to computing with
wrong literals (see #24893 and #24700).

This patch disables these Cmm optimizations for 32-bit compilers. This
is unsatisfying (optimizations shouldn't be compiler-word-size
dependent) but it fixes the bug and it makes the patch easy to backport.
A proper fix would be much more invasive but it shall be implemented in
the future.

haddock: Build haddock-api and haddock-library using hadrian

We build these two packages as regular boot library dependencies rather
than using the `in-ghc-tree` flag to include the source files into the haddock
executable.

The `in-ghc-tree` flag is moved into haddock-api to ensure that haddock built
from hackage can still find the location of the GHC bindist using `ghc-paths`.

Addresses #24834

This causes a metric decrease under non-release flavours because under these
flavours libraries are compiled with optimisation but executables are not.

Since we move the bulk of the code from the haddock executable to the
haddock-api library, we see a metric decrease on the validate flavours.

isIrrefutableHsPat: look up ConLikes in the HscEnv

At GhcRn stage, in isIrrefutableHsPat we only looked up data constructors
in the RdrEnv, which meant that we lacked fallibility information for
out-of-scope constructors (which can arise from Template Haskell splices).

Instead, we use 'lookupGREInfo', which looks up the information in
the type environment. This was the correct function to call all along,
but was not used in 572fbc44 due to import cycle reasons. The appropriate
functions, 'irrefutableConLike{Rn,Tc}' have been moved to 'GHC.Rename.Env',
which avoids import cycles.

Linker: some refactoring to prepare for #24886

- Rename LoadedBCOs into LazyBCOs
- Bundle SptEntries with CompiledByteCode and removed [SptEntry] field
  from the BCOs constructor
- Rename Linkable's LM constructor into Linkable: in the past we had LM
  and LP for Module and Package, now we only have the former.
- Rename Unlinked into LinkablePart (and linkableUnlinked into
  linkableParts)
- Use NonEmpty to encode invariant in Linkable's linkableParts type
- Add helpers: linkableLibs, linkableBCOs, etc.
- Add documentation
- Remove partial nameOfObject
- Rename nameOfObject_maybe into linkablePartPath
- Rename byteCodeOfObject into linkablePartAllBCOs.
- Refactor linkablePartAllBCOs to avoid a panic if a LazyBCO has a C
  stub. Document the fact that LazyBCOs are returned in this case
  (contrary to linkableBCOs which only returns non-lazy ones)

Refactoring done while trying to understand how to adapt the linker code
to support the JS backend too (cf #24886).

Implements the Exportable Named Default proposal (#24305)

This squashed commit adds support for exportable named defaults, the accepted
GHC proposal at https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/409

The proposal extends the Haskell '98 declarations

    default (Int, Double)

which were implicitly always applying to Num class alone, to allow specifying
an arbitrary single-parameter class:

    default IsString (Text, String)

The effect of this declaration would be to eliminate the ambiguous type errors
around string literals when OverloadedStrings extension is active. The
declaration by itself has effect only in its module, so the proposal also adds
the ability to export class defaults:

    module MyModule (default IsIstring)

Once the language extension is published and established, we can consider using
it in base and other libraries.

See Note [Named default declarations] in GHC.Tc.Gen.Default
for implementation details.

Make kick-out more selective

This MR revised the crucial kick-out criteria in the constraint solver.

Ticket #24984 showed an example in which
 * We were kicking out unnecessarily
 * That gave rise to extra work, of course
 * But it /also/ led to exponentially-sized coercions due to lack
   of sharing in coercions (something we want to fix separately #20264)

This MR sharpens up the kick-out criteria; specifially in (KK2) we look
only under type family applications if (fs>=fw).

This forced me to understand the existing kick-out story, and I ended
up rewriting many of the careful Notes in GHC.Tc.Solver.InertSet.
Especially look at the new `Note [The KickOut Criteria]`

The proof of termination is not air-tight, but it is better than before,
and both Richard and I think it's correct :-).

This patch removes the -fasm flag from test ways, except ways like

the precense of -fasm can cause stderr mismatches like this when GHC

Windows targets. While this looks harmless given Windows filesystems
are case-insensitive by default, it does cause a compilation warning
with recent versions of clang, so we might as well fix the casing:

```
driver\ghci\isMinTTY.c:10:10: error:
     warning: non-portable path to file '"isMinTTY.h"'; specified path differs in case from file name on disk [-Wnonportable-include-path]

compiler: Store ForeignStubs and foreign C files in interfaces

This data is used alongside Core bindings to reconstruct intermediate
build products when linking Template Haskell splices with bytecode.

Since foreign stubs and files are generated in the pipeline, they were
lost with only Core bindings stored in interfaces.

The interface codec type `IfaceForeign` contains a simplified
representation of `ForeignStubs` and the set of foreign sources that
were manually added by the user.

When the backend phase writes an interface, `mkFullIface` calls
`encodeIfaceForeign` to read foreign source file contents and assemble
`IfaceForeign`.

After the recompilation status check of an upstream module,
`initWholeCoreBindings` calls `decodeIfaceForeign` to restore
`ForeignStubs` and write the contents of foreign sources to the file
system as temporary files.
The restored foreign inputs are then processed by `hscInteractive` in
the same manner as in a regular pipeline.

When linking the stub objects for splices, they are excluded from suffix
adjustment for the interpreter way through a new flag in `Unlinked`.

For details about these processes, please consult Note [Foreign stubs
and TH bytecode linking].

Fix aarch64-alpine target platform description

We are producing bindists where the target triple is

aarch64-alpine-linux

when it should be

aarch64-unknown-linux

This is because the bootstrapped compiler originally set the target
triple to `aarch64-alpine-linux` which is when propagated forwards by
setting `bootstrap_target` from the bootstrap compiler target.

In order to break this chain we explicitly specify build/host/target for
aarch64-alpine.

This requires a new configure flag `--enable-ignore-` which just
switches off a validation check that the target platform of the
bootstrap compiler is the same as the build platform. It is the same,
but the name is just wrong.

These commits can be removed when the bootstrap compiler has the correct
target triple (I looked into patching this on ci-images, but it looked
hard to do correctly as the build/host platform is not in the settings
file).

Only export defaults when NamedDefaults are enabled (#25206)

This is a reinterpretation of GHC Proposal #409 that avoids a breaking
change introduced in fa0dbaca6c "Implements the Exportable Named Default proposal"

Consider a module M that has no explicit export list:

	module M where
	default (Rational)

Should it export the default (Rational)?

The proposal says "yes", and there's a test case for that:

	default/DefaultImport04.hs

However, as it turns out, this change in behavior breaks existing
programs, e.g. the colour-2.3.6 package can no longer be compiled,
as reported in #25206.

In this patch, we make implicit exports of defaults conditional on
the NamedDefaults extension. This fix is unintrusive and compliant
with the existing proposal text (i.e. it does not require a proposal
amendment). Should the proposal be amended, we can go for a simpler
solution, such as requiring all defaults to be exported explicitly.

Test case: testsuite/tests/default/T25206.hs

may be trading space usage for work done. For now, this is the right
choice as rather than using all the memory on my computer, compilation
just takes a little bit longer.

Build foreign objects for TH with interpreter's way when loading from iface

Fixes #25211

When linking bytecode for TH from interface core bindings with
`-fprefer-byte-code`, foreign sources are loaded from the interface as
well and compiled to object code in an ad-hoc manner.

The results are then loaded by the interpreter, whose way may differ
from the current build's target way.

This patch ensures that foreign objects are compiled with the
interpreter's way.

RecordCon lookup: don't allow a TyCon

This commit adds extra logic when looking up a record constructor.
If GHC.Rename.Env.lookupOccRnConstr returns a TyCon (as it may, due to
the logic explained in Note [Pattern to type (P2T) conversion]),
we emit an error saying that the data constructor is not in scope.

This avoids the compiler falling over shortly thereafter, in the call to
'lookupConstructorInfo' inside 'GHC.Rename.Env.lookupRecFieldOcc',
because the record constructor would not have been a ConLike.

Use deterministic names for temporary files

When there are multiple threads they can race to create a temporary
file, in some situations the thread will create ghc_1.c and in some it
will create ghc_2.c. This filename ends up in the debug info for object
files after compiling a C file, therefore contributes to object
nondeterminism.

In order to fix this we store a prefix in `TmpFs` which serves to
namespace temporary files. The prefix is populated from the counter in
TmpFs when the TmpFs is forked. Therefore the TmpFs must be forked
outside the thread which consumes it, in a deterministic order, so each
thread always receives a TmpFs with the same prefix.

This assumes that after the initial TmpFs is created, all other TmpFs
are created from forking the original TmpFs. Which should have been try
anyway as otherwise there would be file collisions and non-determinism.

Fixes #25224

    to be attached an effect for error reporting in a later refactoring

Transform some StgRhsClosure into StgRhsCon after unarisation (#25166)

Before unarisation we may have code like:

  Test.foo :: Test.D
  [GblId, Unf=OtherCon []] =
      \u []
          case (# |_| #) [GHC.Types.(##)] of sat_sAw [Occ=Once1] {
          __DEFAULT -> Test.D [GHC.Types.True sat_sAw];
          };

After unarisation we get:

  Test.foo :: Test.D
  [GblId, Unf=OtherCon []] =
      {} \u [] Test.D [GHC.Types.True 2#];

Notice that it's still an Updatable closure for no reason anymore. This
patch transforms appropriate StgRhsClosures into StgRhsCons after
unarisation, allowing these closures to be statically allocated. Now we
get the expected:

  Test.foo :: Test.D
  [GblId, Unf=OtherCon []] =
      Test.D! [GHC.Types.True 2#];

Fix #25166

To avoid duplicating code, this patch refactors the mk(Top)StgRhs
functions and put them in a GHC.Stg.Make module alongside the new
mk(Top)StgRhsCon_maybe functions.

Don't introduce 'nospec' on the LHS of a RULE

This patch address #25160.  The main payload is:

* When desugaring the LHS of a RULE, do not introduce the `nospec` call
  for non-canonical evidence.  See GHC.Core.InstEnv
  Note [Coherence and specialisation: overview]

  The `nospec` call usually introdued in `dsHsWrapper`, but we don't want it
  on the LHS of a RULE (that's what caused #25160).  So now `dsHsWrapper` takes
  a flag to say if it's on the LHS of a RULE.  See wrinkle (NC1) in
  `Note [Desugaring non-canonical evidence]` in GHC.HsToCore.Binds.

But I think this flag will go away again when I have finished with my
(entirely separate) speciaise-on-values patch (#24359).

All this meant I had to re-understand the `nospec` stuff and coherence, and
that in turn made me do some refactoring, and add a lot of new documentation

The big change is that in GHC.Core.InstEnv, I changed
  the /type synonym/ `Canonical` into
  a /data type/ `CanonicalEvidence`
and documented it a lot better.

That in turn made me realise that CalLStacks were being treated with a
bit of a hack, which I documented in `Note [CallStack and ExecptionContext hack]`.

driver: Ensure we run driverPlugin for staticPlugins (#25217)

driverPlugins are only run when the plugin state changes. This meant they were

We need to keep track of whether a static plugin has been initialised to ensure
we run static driver plugins at least once. This necessitates an additional field
in the `StaticPlugin` constructor as this state has to be bundled with the plugin
itself, as static plugins have no name/identifier we can use to otherwise reference
them

ci: Ensure we source ci.sh in any jobs that run commands outside of ci.sh

ci.sh sets up the toolchain environment, including paths for the cabal directory, the
toolchain binaries etc. If we run any commands outside of ci.sh, unless we
source ci.sh we will use the wrong values for these environment variables.

In particular, I ran into an issue where the cabal invocation `hadrian/ghci` was
using an old index state despite `ci.sh setup` updating and setting the correct
index state. This is because `ci.sh` sets the `CABAL_DIR` to a different place, which
is where the index was downloaded to, but we were using the default cabal directory
outside ci.sh

The solution is to source the correct environment `ci.sh` using `. ci.sh setup`

determinism: Sampling uniques in the CG

To achieve object determinism, the passes processing Cmm and the rest of
the code generation pipeline musn't create new uniques which are
non-deterministic.

This commit changes occurrences of non-deterministic unique sampling
within these code generation passes by a deterministic unique sampling
strategy by propagating and threading through a deterministic
incrementing counter in them. The threading is done implicitly with
`UniqDSM` and `UniqDSMT`.

Secondly, the `DUniqSupply` used to run a `UniqDSM` must be threaded
through all passes to guarantee uniques in different passes are unique
amongst them altogether. Specifically, the same `DUniqSupply` must be
threaded through the CG Streaming pipeline, starting with Driver.Main
calling `StgToCmm.codeGen`, `cmmPipeline`, `cmmToRawCmm`, and
`codeOutput` in sequence.

To thread resources through the `Stream` abstraction, we use the `UniqDSMT`
transformer on top of `IO` as the Monad underlying the Stream. `UniqDSMT` will
thread the `DUniqSupply` through every pass applied to the `Stream`, for every
element. We use @type CgStream = Stream (UniqDSMT IO)@ for the Stream used in
code generation which that carries through the deterministic unique supply.

See Note [Deterministic Uniques in the CG]

determinism: Cmm unique renaming pass

To achieve object determinism, we need to prevent the non-deterministic
uniques from leaking into the object code. We can do this by
deterministically renaming the non-external uniques in the Cmm groups
that are yielded right after StgToCmm.

The key to deterministic renaming is observing that the order of
declarations, instructions, and data in the Cmm groups are already
deterministic (modulo other determinism bugs), regardless of the
uniques. We traverse the Cmm AST in this deterministic order and
rename the uniques, incrementally, in the order they are found, thus
making them deterministic. This renaming is guarded by
-fobject-determinism which is disabled by default for now.

This is one of the key passes for object determinism. Read about the
overview of object determinism and a more detailed explanation of this
pass in:
* Note [Object determinism]
* Note [Renaming uniques deterministically]

Significantly closes the gap to #12935

determinism: DCmmGroup vs CmmGroup

Part of our strategy in producing deterministic objects, namely,
renaming all Cmm uniques in order, depend on the object code produced
having a deterministic order (say, A_closure always comes before
B_closure).

However, the use of LabelMaps in the Cmm representation invalidated this
requirement because the LabelMaps elements would already be in a
non-deterministic order (due to the original uniques), and the renaming
in sequence wouldn't work because of that non-deterministic order.

Therefore, we now start off with lists in CmmGroup (which preserve the
original order), and convert them into LabelMaps (for performance in the
code generator) after the uniques of the list elements have been
renamed.

See Note [DCmmGroup vs CmmGroup or: Deterministic Info Tables] and #12935.

determinism: InfoTableMap uniques in generateCgIPEStub

Fixes object determinism when using -finfo-table-map

Make sure to also deterministically rename the IPE map (as per Note
[Renaming uniques deterministically]), and to use a deterministic unique
supply when creating new labels for the IPE information to guarantee
deterministic objects when IPE information is requested.

Note that the Cmm group produced in generateCgIPEStub must /not/ be
renamed because renaming uniques is not idempotent, and the references
to the previously renamed code in the IPE Cmm group would be renamed
twice and become invalid references to non-existent symbols.

We do need to det-rename the InfoTableMap that is created in the
conversion from Core to Stg. This is not a problem since that map won't
refer any already renamed names (since it was created before the
renaming).

Add Given injectivity for built-in type families

Ticket #24845 asks (reasonably enough) that if we have
   [G] a+b ~ 0
then we also know
   [G] a ~ 0, b ~ 0
and similar injectivity-like facts for other built-in type
families.  The status quo was that we never generate evidence for
injectivity among Givens -- but it is quite reasonnable to do so.
All we need is to have /evidence/ for the new constraints

This MR implements that goal.  I also took the opportunity to
* Address #24978: refactoring UnivCo
* Fix #25248, which was a consequences of the previous formulation of UnivCo

As a result this MR touches a lot of code.  The big things are:

* Coercion constructor UnivCo now takes a [Coercion] as argument to
  express the coercions on which the UnivCo depends. A nice consequence
  is that UnivCoProvenance now has no free variables, simpler in a number
  of places.

* Coercion constructors AxiomInstCo and AxiomRuleCo are combined into
  AxiomCo.  The new AxiomCo, carries a (slightly oddly named)
  CoAxiomRule, which itself is a sum type of the various forms of
  built-in axiom.  See Note [CoAxiomRule] in GHC.Core.Coercion.Axiom

  A merit of this is that we can separate the case of open and closed
  type families, and eliminate the redundant `BranchIndex` in the former
  case.

* Much better representation for data BuiltInSynFamily, which means we
  no longer need to enumerate built-in axioms as well as built-in tycons.

* There is a massive refactor in GHC.Builtin.Types.Literals, which contains all
  the built-in axioms for type-level operations (arithmetic, append, cons etc).

  A big change is that instead of redundantly having (a) a hand-written
  matcher, and (b) a template-based "proves" function, which were hard to
  keep in sync, the two are derive from one set of human-supplied info.
  See GHC.Builtin.Types.Literals.mkRewriteAxiom, and friends.

* Significant changes in GHC.Tc.Solver.Equality to account for the new
  opportunity for Given/Given equalities.

Smaller things

* Improve pretty-printing to avoid parens around atomic coercions.

* Do proper eqType in findMatchingIrreds, not `eqTypeNoKindCheck`.
  Looks like a bug, Richard agrees.

* coercionLKind and coercionRKind are hot functions.  I refactored the
  implementation (which I had to change anyway) to increase sharing.
  See Note [coercionKind performance] in GHC.Core.Coercion

* I wrote a new Note [Finding orphan names] in GHC.Core.FVs about orphan
  names

* I improved the `is_concrete` flag in GHC.Core.Type.buildSynTyCon, to avoid
  calling tyConsOfType.  I forget exactly why I did this, but it's definitely
  better now.

* I moved some code from GHC.Tc.Types.Constraint into GHC.Tc.Types.CtLocEnv
  and I renamed the module GHC.Tc.Types.CtLocEnv to GHC.Tc.Types.CtLoc

Resolve ambiguous method-bound type variables in vanilla defaults and GND

When defining an instance of a class with a "vanilla" default, such as in the
following example (from #14266):

```hs
class A t where
  f :: forall x m. Monoid x => t m -> m
  f = <blah>

instance A []
```

We have to reckon with the fact that the type of `x` (bound by the type
signature for the `f` method) is ambiguous. If we don't deal with the ambiguity
somehow, then when we generate the following code:

```hs
instance A [] where
  f = $dmf @[] -- NB: the type of `x` is still ambiguous
```

Then the generated code will not typecheck. (Issue #25148 is a more recent
example of the same problem.)

To fix this, we bind the type variables from the method's original type
signature using `TypeAbstractions` and instantiate `$dmf` with them using
`TypeApplications`:

```hs
instance A [] where
  f @x @m = $dmf @[] @x @m -- `x` is no longer ambiguous
```

Note that we only do this for vanilla defaults and not for generic defaults
(i.e., defaults using `DefaultSignatures`). For the full details, see `Note
[Default methods in instances] (Wrinkle: Ambiguous types from vanilla method
type signatures)`.

The same problem arose in the code generated by `GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving`,
as we also fix it here using the same technique. This time, we can take
advantage of the fact that `GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving`-generated code
_already_ brings method-bound type variables into scope via `TypeAbstractions`
(after !13190), so it is very straightforward to visibly apply the type
variables on the right-hand sides of equations. See `Note [GND and ambiguity]`.

Fixes #14266. Fixes #25148.

rts: Fix segfault when using non-moving GC with profiling

`nonMovingCollect()` swaps out the `static_flag` value used as a
sentinel for `gct->scavenged_static_objects`, but the subsequent call
`resetStaticObjectForProfiling()` sees the old value of `static_flag` used as
the sentinel and segfaults. So we must call `resetStaticObjectForProfiling()`
before calling `nonMovingCollect()` as otherwise it looks for the incorrect
sentinel value

Fixes #25232 and #23958

Previously `errorCallWithCallStackException` failed to propagate its

Don't compile `asBox` with -fprof-late

The `asBox` function is intended to store exactly the closure which the
user passes to it. Placing a cost centre on asBox introduces a thunk,
which violates this expectation and can change the result of using asBox
when profiling is enabled.

See #25212 for more details and ample opportunity to discuss if this is
a bug or not.

Fix normalisation of .prof files

Fix 1: If a cost centre contained CAF then the normalisation was
corrupted, now only check if CAF is at the start of a line.

Fix 2: "no location info" contain a space, which messed up the next

Replace manual string lexing (#25158)

Metric Increase:
    MultilineStringsPerf

This commit replaces the manual string lexing logic with native Alex
lexing syntax. This aligns the lexer much closer to the Haskell Report,
making it easier to see how the implementation and spec relate. This
slightly increases memory usage when compiling multiline strings because
we now have two distinct phases: lexing the multiline string with Alex
and post-processing the string afterwards. Before, these were done at
the same time, but separating them allows us to push as much logic into
normal Alex lexing as possible.

Since multiline strings are a new feature, this regression shouldn't be
too noticeable. We can optimize this over time.

Revert !4655: Stop 'import "base" Prelude' removing implicit Prelude import

This behaviour is problematic for the principle reason that `import
Prelude` may not refer to the `base` package, and in which case
importing an entirely unrelated module causing your implicit prelude to
leave the scope is extremely surprising. See the added test for this
example. Discussion on #17045.

The secondary reason for reverting this patch is that "base" can't be a
wired in package any more (see #24903), so we have to remove special
logic which singles out base from the compiler.

The rule for implicit shadowing is now simply:

* If you write import Prelude (..) then you don't get an implicit prelude import
* If you write import "foobar" Prelude (..) for all pkgs foobar,
  you get an implicit import of prelude.

If you want to write a package import of Prelude, then you can enable
`NoImplicitPrelude` for the module in question to recover the behaviour
of ghc-9.2-9.10.

Rename COMPILING_BASE_PACKAGE to COMPILING_GHC_INTERNAL_PACKAGE

The COMPILING_BASE_PACKAGE macro is concerned with issues defining
symbols and using symbols in the same compilation unit. However, these
symbols now exist in ghc-internal rather than base, so we should rename
the macro accordingly.

The code is guards is likely never used as we never produce windows DLLs
but it is simpler to just perform the renaming for now.

These days there is little doubt that this macro defined in this ad-hoc
manner would be permitted to exist, but these days are not those days.

Remove Data.List compat warning

There is currently a warning implemented in -Wcompat which warns you
when importing Data.List in a non-qualified manner.

```
A.hs:3:8: warning: [-Wcompat-unqualified-imports]
    To ensure compatibility with future core libraries changes
    imports to Data.List should be
    either qualified or have an explicit import list.
  |
3 | import Data.List
  |        ^^^^^^^^^
Ok, one module loaded.
```

GHC ticket: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/17244
CLC discussion: https://groups.google.com/g/haskell-core-libraries/c/q3zHLmzBa5E

This warning was implemented as part of the migration to making
Data.List monomorphic again (and to be used like Data.Set, Data.Map
etc). That doesn't seem like it happened, and I imagine that the current
CLC would require a new proposal anyway in order to do that now. It's
not clear in any case what "future core libraries changes" we are
waiting to happen before this warning can be removed.

Given the first phase of the proposal has lasted 5 years it doesn't seem
that anyone is motivated to carry the proposal to completion. It does
seem a bit unnecessary to include a warning in the compiler about
"future changes to the module" when there's no timeline or volunteer to
implement these changes.

The removal of this warning was discussed again at:
https://github.com/haskell/core-libraries-committee/issues/269

During the discussion there was no new enthusiasm to move onto the next
stages of the proposal so we are removing the warning to unblock the
reinstallable "base" project (#24903)

Work have been done:
* Introduction of new data type `EntityInfo` in `GHC.Iface.Ext.Types`.
* Add extra field `hie_entity_infos :: NameEntityInfo` to `HieFile`
  to store the mapping from entity name to corresponding entity infos
  in `GHC.Iface.Ext.Types`.
* Compute `EntityInfo` for each entity name in the HieAst from `TyThing,

The X86 SIMD patch.

This commit adds support for 128 bit wide SIMD vectors and vector
operations to GHC's X86 native code generator.

Main changes:

  - Introduction of vector formats (`GHC.CmmToAsm.Format`)
  - Introduction of 128-bit virtual register (`GHC.Platform.Reg`),
    and removal of unused Float virtual register.
  - Refactor of `GHC.Platform.Reg.Class.RegClass`: it now only contains
    two classes, `RcInteger` (for general purpose registers) and `RcFloatOrVector`
    (for registers that can be used for scalar floating point values as well
    as vectors).
  - Modify `GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.Instr.regUsageOfInstr` to keep track
    of which format each register is used at, so that the register
    allocator can know if it needs to spill the entire vector register
    or just the lower 64 bits.
  - Modify spill/load/reg-2-reg code to account for vector registers
    (`GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.Instr.{mkSpillInstr, mkLoadInstr, mkRegRegMoveInstr, takeRegRegMoveInstr}`).
  - Modify the register allocator code (`GHC.CmmToAsm.Reg.*`) to propagate
    the format we are storing in any given register, for instance changing
    `Reg` to `RegFormat` or `GlobalReg` to `GlobalRegUse`.
  - Add logic to lower vector `MachOp`s to X86 assembly
    (see `GHC.CmmToAsm.X86.CodeGen`)
  - Minor cleanups to genprimopcode, to remove the llvm_only attribute
    which is no longer applicable.

Tests for this feature are provided in the "testsuite/tests/simd" directory.

Fixes #7741

Keeping track of register formats adds a small memory overhead to the
register allocator (in particular, regUsageOfInstr now allocates more
to keep track of the `Format` each register is used at). This explains

Use xmm registers in genapply

This commit updates genapply to use xmm, ymm and zmm registers, for
stg_ap_v16/stg_ap_v32/stg_ap_v64, respectively.

It also updates the Cmm lexer and parser to produce Cmm vectors rather
than 128/256/512 bit wide scalars for V16/V32/V64, removing bits128,
bits256 and bits512 in favour of vectors.

The Cmm Lint check is weakened for vectors, as (in practice, e.g. on X86)
it is okay to use a single vector register to hold multiple different
types of data, and we don't know just from seeing e.g. "XMM1" how to
interpret the 128 bits of data within.

Fix treatment of signed zero in vector negation

This commit fixes the handling of signed zero in floating-point vector
negation.

A slight hack was introduced to work around the fact that Cmm doesn't
currently have a notion of signed floating point literals
(see get_float_broadcast_value_reg). This can be removed once CmmFloat
can express the value -0.0.

The simd006 test has been updated to use a stricter notion of equality
of floating-point values, which ensure the validity of this change.

X86 genCCall: promote arg before calling evalArgs

The job of evalArgs is to ensure each argument is put into a temporary
register, so that it can then be loaded directly into one of the
argument registers for the C call, without the generated code clobbering
any other register used for argument passing.

However, if we promote arguments after calling evalArgs, there is the
possibility that the code used for the promotion will clobber a register,
defeating the work of evalArgs.
To avoid this, we first promote arguments, and only then call evalArgs.

X86 genCCall64: simplify loadArg code

This commit simplifies the argument loading code by making the
assumption that it is safe to directly load the argument into register,

This assumption is borne from the use of 'evalArgs', which evaluates
any arguments which might necessitate non-trivial code generation into
separate temporary registers.

Link bytecode from interface-stored core bindings in oneshot mode

!13042

Part of #T25090

If the flag `-fprefer-byte-code` is given when compiling a module
containing TH, GHC will use Core bindings stored in interfaces to
compile and link bytecode for splices.

This was only implemented for `--make` mode initially, so this commit
adds the same mechanism to oneshot mode (`-c`).

When an interface is loaded into the EPS in `loadInterface` that has
dehydrated Core bindings, an entry is added to the new field
`eps_iface_bytecode`, containing an IO action that produces a bytecode
`Linkable`, lazily processing the `mi_extra_decls` by calling
`loadIfaceByteCode`.

When Template Haskell dependencies are resolved in `getLinkDeps`, this
action is looked up after loading a module's interface.
If it exists, the action is evaluated and the bytecode is added to the
set of `Linkable`s used for execution of the splice; otherwise it falls
back on the traditional object file.

ci: Fix variable inheritence for ghcup-metadata testing job

Downstream in ghcup-ci we use the CONFIGURE_ARGS variable to determine
how to setup all the different jobs.

On the downstream trigger this was being inherited from the default
setting in .gitlab.yml file.

Therefore this led to job failures as the necessary CONFIGURE_ARGS were
not being passed to the configure script when installing the bindist.

See docs:

* https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#inherit
* https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#triggerforward

1. inherit:variables:fals
  - This stops the global variables being inherited into the job and
    hence forwarded onto the downstream job.

2. trigger:forward:*
  - yaml_variables: true (default) pass yaml variables to downstream,
    this is important to pass the upstream pipeline id to downstream.
  - pipeline_variables: false (default) but don't pass pipeline
    variables (normal environment variables).

Wildcard binders in type declarations (#23501)

Add support for wildcard binders in type declarations:

	type Const a b = a   -- BEFORE: the `b` had to be named
	                     --         even if unused on the RHS

	type Const a _ = a   -- AFTER: the compiler accepts
	                     --        a wildcard binder `_`

The new feature is part of GHC Proposal #425 "Invisible binders
in type declarations", and more specifically its amendment #641.

Just like a named binder, a wildcard binder `_` may be:

	* plain:      _
	* kinded:    (_ :: k -> Type)
	* invisible, plain:  @_
	* invisible, kinded: @(_ :: k -> Type)

Those new forms of binders are allowed to occur on the LHSs of
data, newtype, type, class, and type/data family declarations:

	data D _ = ...
	newtype N _ = ...
	type T _ = ...
	class C _ where ...
	type family F _
	data family DF _

(Test case: testsuite/tests/typecheck/should_compile/T23501a.hs)

However, we choose to reject them in forall telescopes and
type family result variable binders (the latter being part
of the TypeFamilyDependencies extension):

	type family Fd a = _    -- disallowed  (WildcardBndrInTyFamResultVar)
	fn :: forall _. Int     -- disallowed  (WildcardBndrInForallTelescope)

(Test case: testsuite/tests/rename/should_fail/T23501_fail.hs)

See the new Notes:
	* Note [Type variable binders]
	* Note [Wildcard binders in disallowed contexts]

To accommodate the new forms of binders, HsTyVarBndr was changed
as follows (demonstrated without x-fields for clarity)

	-- BEFORE (ignoring x-fields and locations)
	data HsTyVarBndr flag
	  = UserTyVar   flag Name
	  | KindedTyVar flag Name HsKind

	-- AFTER (ignoring x-fields and locations)
	data HsTyVarBndr flag = HsTvb flag HsBndrVar HsBndrKind
	data HsBndrVar  = HsBndrVar Name | HsBndrWildCard
	data HsBndrKind = HsBndrNoKind | HsBndrKind LHsKind

The rest of the patch is downstream from this change.

To avoid a breaking change to the TH AST, we generate fresh
names to replace wildcard binders instead of adding a dedicated
representation for them (as discussed in #641).

And to put a cherry on top of the cake, we now allow wildcards in
kind-polymorphic type variable binders in constructor patterns,
see Note [Type patterns: binders and unifiers] and the tyPatToBndr
function in GHC.Tc.Gen.HsType; example:

	fn (MkT @(_ :: forall k. k -> Type) _ _) = ...

Link interface bytecode from package DBs if possible

Part of #25090.

MR !?????

When splices are executed with `-fprefer-byte-code`, the loader will
compile Core bindings to bytecode if those are present in interfaces of
module dependencies.

So far, this only applied to local modules (i.e. home modules in make
mode and non-package deps in oneshot mode).

This patch extends support to interfaces loaded from a package DB.
In `getLinkDeps`, the dependencies chosen for recursion were restricted
to `dep_direct_mods`, which has been changed to include `mi_usages`.
In order to unify treatment of the different link variants across
make/oneshot mode, the algorithm's intermediate results have been
abstracted into the data types `LinkDep` and `LinkModule`.

At the moment, following package deps is only implemented for oneshot
mode.
