Add the initial no-std Motor OS compiler target.
Motor OS has been developed for several years in the open:
https://github.com/moturus/motor-os.
It has a more or less full implementation of Rust std library,
as well as tokio/mio ports.
Build instructions can be found here:

naked_asm: emit a label starting with `func_end`
The `cargo asm` tool (`cargo install cargo-show-asm`) pattern matches on such labels to figure out where functions end: normal functions generated by LLVM always do have such a label. We don't guarantee that naked functions emit such a label, but having `cargo asm` work is convenient.

To make the label name unique it's suffixed with the name of the current symbol.

match clang's `va_arg` assembly on arm targets
tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44930
For this example
```rust
#![feature(c_variadic)]
#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
unsafe extern "C" fn variadic(a: f64, mut args: ...) -> f64 {
let b = args.arg::<f64>();
let c = args.arg::<f64>();
a + b + c
}
```
We currently generate (via llvm):
```asm
variadic:
sub sp, sp, #12
stmib sp, {r2, r3}
vmov d0, r0, r1
add r0, sp, #4
vldr d1, [sp, #4]
add r0, r0, #15
bic r0, r0, #7
vadd.f64 d0, d0, d1
add r1, r0, #8
str r1, [sp]
vldr d1, [r0]
vadd.f64 d0, d0, d1
vmov r0, r1, d0
add sp, sp, #12
bx lr
```
LLVM is not doing a good job. In fact, it's well-known that LLVM's implementation of `va_arg` is kind of bad, and we implement it ourselves (based on clang) for many targets already. For arm, our own `emit_ptr_va_arg` saves 3 instructions.
Next, it turns out it's important for LLVM to explicitly start and end the lifetime of the `va_list`. In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146059 I already end the lifetime, but when looking at this again, I noticed that it is important to also start it, see https://godbolt.org/z/EGqvKTTsK: failing to explicitly start the lifetime uses an extra register.
So, the combination of `emit_ptr_va_arg` with starting/ending the lifetime makes rustc emit exactly the instructions that clang generates::
```asm
variadic:
sub sp, sp, #12
stmib sp, {r2, r3}
vmov d16, r0, r1
vldr d17, [sp, #4]
vadd.f64 d16, d16, d17
vldr d17, [sp, #12]
vadd.f64 d16, d16, d17
vmov r0, r1, d16
add sp, sp, #12
bx lr
```
The arguments to `emit_ptr_va_arg` are based on [the clang implementation](03dc2a41f3/clang/lib/CodeGen/Targets/ARM.cpp (L798-L844)).

Ignore intrinsic calls in cross-crate-inlining cost model
I noticed in a side project that a function which just compares to `[u64; 2]` for equality is not cross-crate-inlinable. That was surprising to me because I didn't think that code contained a function call, but of course our array comparisons are lowered to an intrinsic. Intrinsic calls don't make a function no longer a leaf, so it makes sense to add this as an exception to the "only leaves" cross-crate-inline heuristic.
This is the useful compare link: https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=7cb1a81145a739c4fd858abe3c624ce8e6e5f9cd&end=c3f0a64dbf9fba4722dacf8e39d2fe00069c995e&stat=instructions%3Au because it disables CGU merging in both commits, so effects that cause changes in the sysroot to perturb partitioning downstream are excluded. Perturbations to what is and isn't cross-crate-inlinable in the sysroot has chaotic effects on what items are in which CGUs after merging. It looks like before this PR by sheer luck some of the CGUs dirtied by the patch in eza incr-unchanged happened to be merged together, and with this PR they are not.
The perf runs on this PR point to a nice runtime performance improvement.
Fix LoongArch C function ABI when passing/returning structs containing floats
Similar to RISC-V, LoongArch passes structs containing only one or two floats (or a float–integer pair) in registers, as long as each element fits into a single corresponding register. Before this PR, Rust did not check the actual offset of the second float or integer; instead, it assumed the standard offset based on the default alignment. However, since the offset can be affected by `#[repr(align(N))]` and `#[repr(packed)]`, this led to miscompilations (see rust-lang/rust#145692). This PR fixes the issue by explicitly specifying the offset for the remainder of the cast.
Add managarm as a tier 3 target
This PR aims to introduce the `x86_64-unknown-managarm-mlibc` as a tier 3 target to Rust.
[managarm](https://github.com/managarm/managarm) is a microkernel with fully asynchronous I/O that also provides a POSIX server. Despite the differences, managarm provides good compatability with POSIX and Linux APIs. As a rule of thumb, barring OS-specific code, it should be mostly source-compatible with Linux.
We have been shipping a patched rust for over 25 releases now, and we would like to upstream our work. For a smoother process, this PR only adds the target to rustc and some documentation. `std` support will be added in a future PR.
## Addressing the tier 3 target policy
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
`@no92,` `@64` and `@Dennisbonke` will be target maintainers.
> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
> - Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
> - If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
`x86_64-unknown-managarm-mlibc` is what we use for LLVM as well.
> Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users.
> - The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
> - Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (MIT OR Apache-2.0).
> - The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the tidy tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be subject to any new license requirements.
> - Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require such libraries at all. For instance, rustc built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
> - "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are not limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users.

Understood. None of the listed maintainers are on a Rust team.

The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
Support for `std` will be provided in a future PR. Only minor changes are required, however they depend on support in the `libc` crate which will be PRed in soon.

Add assembly test for `-Zreg-struct-return` option
r? `@tgross35`
As discussed in rust-lang/rust#145309 with `@tgross35` and `@ojeda,` I added assembly tests for the `-Zreg-struct-return` option verifying that it changes the ABI from hidden pointer to register-return on x86_32.
The test covers:
- Direct struct construction, showing register return vs hidden pointer
- External function calls returning structs, showing ABI mismatch handling
Different memory layouts affect ABI mismatch handling, but register returns use the same register allocation regardless of struct field layout (apart from the fact that they use smaller registers for smaller structs, of course).
[Here](https://godbolt.org/z/dcW6rnMG3) is a compiler explorer with 2 examples. Let me know if there is anything more I could add. Since register returns only happen for structs up to the size of 2 registers, I figured testing the pivot value (8 bytes) would be most critical.
This test covers:
* The callee side, making sure that the structs are correctly loaded into registers when `-Zreg-struct-return` is enabled
* The caller side, making sure that callers do receive returned structs in registers when `-Zreg-struct-return` is enabled
Structs of the size of up to 2 registers (8 bytes) can be returned in registers in x86_32.
Therefore, the tests are done with 3 different struct sizes:
* 2 bytes (register returns should happen)
* 8 bytes (last value where register returns should happen)
* 12 bytes (register returns should not happen even when `-Zreg-struct-return` is enabled)
Add aarch64_be-unknown-hermit target
Follow-up to rust-lang/rust#144962, which added the target necessary to build the Hermit bootloader and kernel for `aarch64_be`. This adds the target for Rust applications that can run in Hermit.
I've been testing this for a while now and `@mkroening` and `@stlankes` are on board with adding this target.

Fix `-Zregparm` for LLVM builtins
This fixes the issue where `-Zregparm=N` was not working correctly when calling LLVM intrinsics
By default on `x86-32`, arguments are passed on the stack. The `-Zregparm=N` flag allows the first `N` arguments to be passed in registers instead.
When calling intrinsics like `memset`, LLVM still passes parameters on the stack, which prevents optimizations like tail calls.
As proposed by ````@tgross35,```` I fixed this by setting the `NumRegisterParameters` LLVM module flag to `N` when the `-Zregparm=N` is set.
```rust
// compiler/rust_codegen_llvm/src/context.rs#375-382
if let Some(regparm_count) = sess.opts.unstable_opts.regparm {
llvm::add_module_flag_u32(
llmod,
llvm::ModuleFlagMergeBehavior::Error,
"NumRegisterParameters",
regparm_count,
);
}

Add aarch64_be-unknown-none-softfloat target
This adds a new target for bare-metal big endian ARM64 without FPU.

Ack.
aarch64: Make `outline-atomics` a known target feature
This is a feature used by LLVM that is enabled for our `aarch64-linux` targets, which we would like to configure on in `std`. Thus, mark `outline-atomics` a known feature. It is left unstable for now.
set
* Enforce the `-Zregparm=N` flag by setting the NumRegisterParameters
LLVM module flag * Add assembly tests verifying that the parameters are
passed in registers for reparm values 1, 2, and 3, for both LLVM
intrinsics and non-builtin functions * Add c_void type to minicore
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)
Lewis McClelland (lewisfm), Tropix126, Gavin Niederman (Gavin-Niederman), and Max Niederman (max-niederman) will be the designated maintainers for `armv7a-vex-v5` support.
> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
`armv7a-vex-v5` follows the cpu-vendor-model convention used by most tier three targets. For example: `armv76k-nintendo-3ds` or `armv7k-apple-watchos`.
> Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
> If possible, use only letters, numbers, dashes and underscores for the name. Periods (.) are known to cause issues in Cargo.
This target name is not confusing.
> Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users.
It's using open source tools only.
> The target must not introduce license incompatibilities.
>
> Anything added to the Rust repository must be under the standard Rust license (MIT OR Apache-2.0).
Understood.
> The target must not cause the Rust tools or libraries built for any other host (even when supporting cross-compilation to the target) to depend on any new dependency less permissive than the Rust licensing policy. This applies whether the dependency is a Rust crate that would require adding new license exceptions (as specified by the tidy tool in the rust-lang/rust repository), or whether the dependency is a native library or binary. In other words, the introduction of the target must not cause a user installing or running a version of Rust or the Rust tools to be subject to any new license requirements.
There are no new dependencies/features required in the current state of this target. Porting the standard library will likely require depending on the crate `vex-sdk` which is MIT-licensed and contains bindings to the VEX SDK runtime (which is included in VEXos).
> Compiling, linking, and emitting functional binaries, libraries, or other code for the target (whether hosted on the target itself or cross-compiling from another target) must not depend on proprietary (non-FOSS) libraries. Host tools built for the target itself may depend on the ordinary runtime libraries supplied by the platform and commonly used by other applications built for the target, but those libraries must not be required for code generation for the target; cross-compilation to the target must not require such libraries at all. For instance, rustc built for the target may depend on a common proprietary C runtime library or console output library, but must not depend on a proprietary code generation library or code optimization library. Rust's license permits such combinations, but the Rust project has no interest in maintaining such combinations within the scope of Rust itself, even at tier 3.
>
> "onerous" here is an intentionally subjective term. At a minimum, "onerous" legal/licensing terms include but are not limited to: non-disclosure requirements, non-compete requirements, contributor license agreements (CLAs) or equivalent, "non-commercial"/"research-only"/etc terms, requirements conditional on the employer or employment of any particular Rust developers, revocable terms, any requirements that create liability for the Rust project or its developers or users, or any requirements that adversely affect the livelihood or prospects of the Rust project or its developers or users.
Although the VEX V5 Brain and its SDK are proprietary, this target does not link to any proprietary binaries or libraries, and is based solely on publicly available information about the VEX SDK.
> Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions.
>
> This requirement does not prevent part or all of this policy from being cited in an explicit contract or work agreement (e.g. to implement or maintain support for a target). This requirement exists to ensure that a developer or team responsible for reviewing and approving a target does not face any legal threats or obligations that would prevent them from freely exercising their judgment in such approval, even if such judgment involves subjective matters or goes beyond the letter of these requirements.
I understand.
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
This initial PR only contains a compiler target definition to teach the `cc` crate about this target. Porting the standard library is the next step for this target.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
This target is documented in `src/doc/rustc/src/platform-support/armv7a-vex-v5.md`.
> Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via @) to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
>
> Backlinks such as those generated by the issue/PR tracker when linking to an issue or PR are not considered a violation of this policy, within reason. However, such messages (even on a separate repository) must not generate notifications to anyone involved with a PR who has not requested such notifications.
I understand and assent.
> Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
>
> In particular, this may come up when working on closely related targets, such as variations of the same architecture with different features. Avoid introducing unconditional uses of features that another variation of the target may not have; use conditional compilation or runtime detection, as appropriate, to let each target run code supported by that target.
I understand and assent.
> Tier 3 targets must be able to produce assembly using at least one of rustc's supported backends from any host target. (Having support in a fork of the backend is not sufficient, it must be upstream.)
`armv7a-vex-v5` has nearly identical codegen to `armv7a-none-eabihf`, so this is not an issue.
> If a tier 3 target stops meeting these requirements, or the target maintainers no longer have interest or time, or the target shows no signs of activity and has not built for some time, or removing the target would improve the quality of the Rust codebase, we may post a PR to remove it; any such PR will be CCed to the target maintainers (and potentially other people who have previously worked on the target), to check potential interest in improving the situation.
I understand.

update fortanix tests
Firstly, as far as I can tell, no CI job actually runs any of the fortanix tests? Maybe I'm missing the job that runs these tests though?
In any case, the `assembly` tests now use `minicore`, meaning that they will run regardless of the host architecture (specifically, they will run during a standard PR CI build).
The run-make test is actually broken, and I'd propose to make it just `cargo build` rather than `cargo run`. We can have a separate test for actually running the program, if desired.
Also this test is subject to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/128733, so I'd like to re-evaluate what parts of the C/C++ compilation are actually required or useful.

tests: aarch64-outline-atomics: Remove hardcoded target
Since this test is limited to aarch64 and linux hosts, the `--target` flag is entirely unnecessary and only breaks this on musl hosts. Let the compiler use the default target instead.
