Updates `text` and `exceptions` submodules for bounds bumps. Addresses #22767.
-
To be able to capture string literals with possible escape codes as labels. Close #22771
-
These flags did not make it into the 9.6 release series, so the "since" annotations must be corrected.

Addresses #22268.

The hi_core flavour transformer enables -fwrite-if-simplified-core for stage1 libraries, which emit core into interface files to make it possible to restart code generation. Building boot libs with it makes it easier to use GHC API to prototype experimental backends that needs core/stg at link time.

Problem: In 2463df2f, the Solo data constructor was renamed to MkSolo, and Solo was turned into a pattern synonym for backwards compatibility. Since pattern synonyms can not be promoted, the old code that pretty-printed promoted single-element tuples started producing ill-typed code: t :: Proxy ('Solo Int) This fails with "Pattern synonym ‘Solo’ used as a type" The solution is to track the distinction between type constructors and data constructors more carefully when printing single-element tuples.

Issue #22151 was coincidentally fixed in commit aed1974e (`Refactor the treatment of loopy superclass dicts`). This adds a regression test to ensure that the issue remains fixed. Fixes #22151.
-
In #22764 a user noticed that a program implementing a simple atomic counter via an STRef regressed significantly due to the introduction of necessary atomic operations in the MutVar# primops (#22468). This regression was caused by a bug in the NCG, which emitted an unnecessary MFENCE instruction for a release-ordered atomic write. MFENCE is rather only needed to achieve sequentially consistent ordering. Fixes #22764.

Currently it doesn't do much anything, we are just trying to introduce it without breaking the build. Later, we will move functionality from the top-level configure script over to it. We need to bump Cabal for https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/8649; to facilitate and existing hack of skipping some configure checks for the RTS we now need to skip just *part* not *all* of the "post configure" hook, as running the configure script (which we definitely want to do) is also implemented as part of the "post configure" hook. But doing this requires exposing functionality that wasn't exposed before.

This adds `-Werror=<group>` and `-fwarn-<group>` flags for warning groups as well as individual warnings. Previously these were defined on an ad hoc basis so for example we had `-Werror=compat` but not `-Werror=unused-binds`, whereas we had `-fwarn-unused-binds` but not `-fwarn-compat`. Fixes #22182.
-
This adds support for calling Cmm code from bytecode using the native calling convention, allowing modules that use `foreign import prim` to be loaded and debugged in GHCi. This patch introduces a new `PRIMCALL` bytecode instruction and a helper stack frame `stg_primcall`. The code is based on the existing functionality for dealing with unboxed tuples in bytecode, which has been generalised to handle arbitrary calls. Fixes #22051

Corrects a typo in !9647. Otherwise T18623 will still fail on darwin and stall other people's work.

This backports the upstream fix for CVE-2021-43618, fixing #22789.

It turns out that gmp 6.2.1 uses the platform-reserved `x18` register on AArch64/Darwin. This was fixed in upstream changeset 18164:5f32dbc41afc, which was merged in 2020. Here I backport this patch although I do hope that a new release is forthcoming soon. Bumps gmp-tarballs submodule. Fixes #22497.
-
We need to ensure that the output of `cvtSigTypeKind` is parenthesized (at precedence `sigPrec`) so that any type signatures with an outermost, explicit kind signature can parse correctly. Fixes #22784.
-
Following the plan in GHC Proposal #143 "Remove the * kind syntax", which states: In the next release (or 3 years in), enable -fwarn-star-is-type by default. The "next release" happens to be 9.6.1 I also moved the T21583 test case from should_fail to should_compile, because the only reason it was failing was -Werror=compat in our test suite configuration.

See #22630 and !9552 This commit: - splits req_smp into req_target_smp and req_ghc_smp - changes the testsuite driver to calculate req_ghc_smp - changes a handful of tests to use req_target_smp instead of req_smp - changes a handful of tests to use req_host_smp when needed The problem: - the problem this solves is the ambiguity surrounding req_smp - on master req_smp was used to express the constraint that the program being compiled supports smp _and_ that the host RTS (i.e., the RTS used to compile the program) supported smp. Normally that is fine, but in cross compilation this is not always the case as was discovered in #22630. The solution: - Differentiate the two constraints: - use req_target_smp to say the RTS the compiled program is linked with (and the platform) supports smp - use req_host_smp to say the RTS the host is linked with supports smp WIP: fix req_smp (target vs ghc) add flag to separate bootstrapper split req_smp -> req_target_smp and req_ghc_smp update tests smp flags cleanup and add some docstrings only set ghc_with_smp to bootstrapper on S1 or CC Only set ghc_with_smp to bootstrapperWithSMP of when testing stage 1 and cross compiling test the RTS in config/ghc not hadrian re-add ghc_with_smp fix and align req names fix T11760 to use req_host_smp test the rts directly, avoid python 3.5 limitation test the compiler in a try block align out of tree and in tree withSMP flags mark failing tests as host req smp testsuite: req_host_smp --> req_ghc_smp Fix ghc vs host, fix ghc_with_smp leftover

Closes #22765

1. A python script in .gitlab/rel_eng/mk-ghcup-metadata which generates suitable metadata for consumption by GHCUp for the relevant pipelines. - The script generates the metadata just as the ghcup maintainers want, without taking into account platform/library combinations. It is updated manually when the mapping changes. - The script downloads the bindists which ghcup wants to distribute, calculates the hash and generates the yaml in the correct structure. - The script is documented in the .gitlab/rel_eng/mk-ghcup-metadata/README.mk file 1a. The script requires us to understand the mapping from platform -> job. To choose the preferred bindist for each platform the .gitlab/gen_ci.hs script is modified to allow outputting a metadata file which answers the question about which job produces the bindist which we want to distribute to users for a specific platform. 2. Pipelines to run on nightly and release jobs to generate metadata - ghcup-metadata-nightly: Generates metadata which points directly to artifacts in the nightly job. - ghcup-metadata-release: Generates metadata suitable for inclusion directly in ghcup by pointing to the downloads folder where the bindist will be uploaded to. 2a. Trigger jobs which test the generated metadata in the downstream `ghccup-ci` repo. See that repo for documentation about what is tested and how but essentially we test in a variety of clean images that ghcup can download and install the bindists we say exist in our metadata.
-
This job exists only for the meta-reason of not allowing nightly pipelines to be cancelled. It was taking two minutes to run as in order to run "true" we would also clone the whole GHC repo.
-
It is better to keep these scripts in the tree as they depend on the CI configuration and so on. By keeping them in tree we can keep them up-to-date as the CI config changes and also makes it easier to backport changes to the release script between release branches in future. The final motivation is that it makes generating GHCUp metadata possible.

Having the same CACHE_REV on both branches leads to issues where the darwin toolchain is different on ghc-9.6 and HEAD which leads to long darwin build times. In general we should ensure that each branch has a different CACHE_REV.
-
The RHS was too large to inline which often prevented the overhead of the Maybe from being optimized away. By marking it as INLINE we can eliminate the overhead of both the maybe and are able to unpack the accumulator when possible. Fixes #22609

A case were a function used to fail to specialize, but now does.

This patch introduces a more general version of &%> that works with general traversable shapes, instead of lists. This allows us to pass along the information that the length of the list of filepaths passed to the function exactly matches the length of the input list of filepath patterns, avoiding pattern match warnings. Fixes #22430
