failIO has useful information in its demand signature (specifically that it bottoms) which is hidden if it is SOURCE imported, as noted in #16588. Rejigger things such that we don't SOURCE import it. Metric Increase: T13701

This patch fixes #17395, a very subtle and hard-to-trigger bug in tcMatchTy. It's all explained in Note [Matching in the presence of casts (2)] I have not added a regression test because it is very hard to trigger it, until we have the upcoming mkAppTyM patch, after which lacking this patch means you can't even compile the libraries.

This one came in a comment from James Payor

I found in #17415 that Lint was printing out truly gigantic warnings, unmanageably huge, with repeated copies of the same thing. This patch makes Lint less chatty, especially for warnings: * For **warnings**, I don't print details of the location, unless you add `-dppr-debug`. * For **errors**, I still print all the info. They are fatal and stop exection, whereas warnings appear repeatedly. * I've made much less use of `AnExpr` in `LintLocInfo`; the expression can be gigantic.

MacOS Catalina is finally going to force our hand in forbidden writable exeutable mappings. Unfortunately, this is quite incompatible with the current global m32 allocator, which mixes symbols from various objects in a single page. The problem here is that some of these symbols may not yet be resolved (e.g. had relocations performed) as this happens lazily (and therefore we can't yet make the section read-only and therefore executable). The easiest way around this is to simply create one m32 allocator per ObjectCode. This may slightly increase fragmentation for short-running programs but I suspect will actually improve fragmentation for programs doing lots of loading/unloading since we can always free all of the pages allocated to an object when it is unloaded (although this ability will only be implemented in a later patch).

Just a few things I found while looking at #17383.
-
-
As reported in #17414, Darwin throws EINVAL in response to large writes.
-
Before: 0x0000004200c86888 After: 0x42000224f8 This is more concise and consistent with the RTS's printer (which uses %p formatter, and at least on Linux gcc prints the short form) and gdb's pointer formatter.

Previously we were configuring the ARMv7 builds with a host/target triple of arm-linux-gnueabihf, which caused us to target ARMv6 and consequently rely on the old CP15 memory barrier implementation. This barrier has to be emulated on ARMv8 machines which is glacially slow. Hopefully this should fix the ARMv7 builds which currently consistently time out.

GHC Proposal #229 changes the lexical rules of Haskell, which may require slight whitespace adjustments in certain cases. This patch changes formatting in a few places in GHC and its testsuite in a way that enables it to compile under the proposed rules.

AP_NOUPD entry code doesn't use the arity field, but not initializing this field confuses printers/debuggers, and also makes testing harder as the field's value changes randomly.

The configuration in the installation environment (as determined by `autoconf`) may differ from the build environment and therefore we need to be sure to rebuild the settings file. Fixes #17374.

Not only is it now unused but we generally can't assume that we are compiling with GCC, so it really shouldn't be used.
-
This makes the CPP significantly easier to follow.
-
Previously `hadrian` would pass `-optc-Werror=unused-but-set-variable` to all GHC invocations. This was a difference from the make build system and cause the unregisterised build to fail as the C that GHC produces contains many unused functions. Drop it from the GHC flags. Note, however, that the flag is still present in `Settings.Builders.Common.cWarnings` and therefore will still be applied during compilation of C sources.
-
Some of these flags wanted to be passed to .cmm builds as well as C builds.
-
It seems that NOSMP was previously only defined when compiling the compiler, not the RTS. Fix this. In addition do some spring-cleaning and make the logic match that of the Make build system.

The compilation phases now optionally return ModIface (for phases that generate an interface, currently only HscOut when (re)compiling a file). The value is then used by compileOne' to return the generated interface with HomeModInfo (which is then used by the batch mode compiler when building rest of the tree). hscIncrementalMode also returns a DynFlags with plugin info, to be used in the rest of the pipeline. Unfortunately this introduces a (perhaps less bad) hack in place of the previous IORef: we now record the DynFlags used to generate the partial infterface in HscRecomp and use the same DynFlags when generating the full interface. I spent almost three days trying to understand what's changing in DynFlags that causes a backpack test to fail, but I couldn't figure it out. There's a FIXME added next to the field so hopefully someone who understands this better than I do will fix it leter.
-
Make it evident in the constructors that the final interface is only available when HscStatus is not HscRecomp. (When HscStatus == HscRecomp we need to finish the compilation to get the final interface) `Maybe ModIface` return value of hscIncrementalCompile and the partial `expectIface` function are removed.
-
I have no idea how this went unnoticed until now.
-
This is a common bug that creeps into Makefiles (e.g. see T12674).
-
This makes testing much easier.
