[EXPERIMENT] fix: stop `emitting .debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` ### DO NOT MERGE --- A continuation of rust-lang#94181. Fixes rust-lang#48762 MCP can be found in <rust-lang/compiler-team#688>. `.debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` are poorly designed and people seldom use them. However, they take a considerable portion of size in the final binary. This tells LLVM stop emitting those sections on DWARFv4 or lower. DWARFv5 use `.debug_names` which is more concise in size and performant for name lookup.

Great results! Is this only a win for DWARFv4 and lower? What determines the DWARF version being used? |
@nnethercote I've checked the binary size of v5 locally with I am looking forward to DWARFv5 being default :) |

r? wesleywiser This is ready for review, though I understand 10-day period of MCP rust-lang/compiler-team#688 hasn't yet passed. The first commit demonstrates that rustc did emit name tables for both dwarf v4 and v5. |

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. # Required changes `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. # Other changes Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

Please see [3] for details. # Required changes `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. # Other changes Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach).

The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

…n, r=petrochenkov Stabilize `-Zdwarf-version` as `-Cdwarf-version` I propose stabilizing `-Zdwarf-version` as `-Cdwarf-version`. This PR adds a new `-Cdwarf-version` flag, leaving the unstable `-Z` flag as is to ease the transition period. The `-Z` flag will be removed in the future. # `-Zdwarf-version` stabilization report ## What is the RFC for this feature and what changes have occurred to the user-facing design since the RFC was finalized? No RFC/MCP, this flag was added in rust-lang#98350 and was not deemed large enough to require additional process. The tracking issue for this feature is rust-lang#103057. ## What behavior are we committing to that has been controversial? Summarize the major arguments pro/con. None that has been extensively debated but there are a few questions that could have been chosen differently: 1. What should the flag name be? The current flag name is very specific to DWARF. Other debuginfo formats exist (msvc's CodeView format or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabs) so we could have chosen to generalize the flag name (`-{C,Z} debuginfo-version=dwarf-5` for example). While this would extend cleanly to support formats other than DWARF, there are some downsides to this design. Neither CodeView nor Stabs have specification or format versions so it's not clear what values would be supported beyond `dwarf-{2,3,4,5}` or `codeview`. We would also need to take care to ensure the name does not lead users to think they can pick a format other than one supported by the target. For instance, what would `--target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc -Cdebuginfo-version=dwarf-5` do? 2. What is the behavior when flag is used on targets that do not support DWARF? Currently, passing `-{C,Z} dwarf-version` on targets like `*-windows-msvc` does not do anything. It may be preferable to emit a warning alerting the user that the flag has no effect on the target platform. Alternatively, we could emit an error but this could be annoying since it would require the use of target specific RUSTFLAGS to use the flag correctly (and there isn't a way to target "any platform that uses DWARF" using cfgs). 3. Does the precompiled standard library potentially using a different version of DWARF a problem? I don't believe this is an issue as debuggers (and other such tools) already must deal with the possibility that an application uses different DWARF versions across its statically or dynamically linked libraries. ## Are there extensions to this feature that remain unstable? How do we know that we are not accidentally committing to those. No extensions per se, although future DWARF versions could be considered as such. At present, we validate the requested DWARF version is between 2 and 5 (inclusive) so new DWARF versions will not automatically be supported until the validation logic is adjusted. ## Summarize the major parts of the implementation and provide links into the code (or to PRs) - Targets define their preferred or default DWARF version: https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_target/src/spec/mod.rs#L2369 - We use the target default but this can be overriden by `-{C,Z} dwarf-version` https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_session/src/session.rs#L738 - The flag is validated https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_session/src/session.rs#L1253-L1258 - When debuginfo is generated, we tell LLVM to use the requested value or the target default https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_codegen_llvm/src/debuginfo/mod.rs#L106 ## Summarize existing test coverage of this feature - Test that we actually generate the appropriate DWARF version - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/assembly/dwarf5.rs - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/assembly/dwarf4.rs - Test that LTO with different DWARF versions picks the highest version - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/assembly/dwarf-mixed-versions-lto.rs - Test DWARF versions 2-5 are valid while 0, 1 and 6 report an error - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/ui/debuginfo/dwarf-versions.rs - Ensure LLVM does not report a warning when LTO'ing different DWARF versions together - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/ui/lto/dwarf-mixed-versions-lto.rs ## Has a call-for-testing period been conducted? If so, what feedback was received? No call-for-testing has been conducted but Rust for Linux has been using this flag without issue. ## What outstanding bugs in the issue tracker involve this feature? Are they stabilization-blocking? All reported bugs have been resolved. ## Summarize contributors to the feature by name for recognition and assuredness that people involved in the feature agree with stabilization - Initial implementation in rust-lang#98350 by `@pcwalton` - Stop emitting `.debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` when using DWARF 5 in rust-lang#117962 by `@weihanglo.` - Refactoring & cleanups (rust-lang#135739), fix LLVM warning on LTO with different DWARF versions (rust-lang#136659) and argument validation (rust-lang#136746) by `@wesleywiser` ## What FIXMEs are still in the code for that feature and why is it ok to leave them there? No FIXMEs related to this feature. ## What static checks are done that are needed to prevent undefined behavior? This feature cannot cause undefined behavior. We ensure the DWARF version is one of the supported values [here](https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_session/src/session.rs#L1255-L1257). ## In what way does this feature interact with the reference/specification, and are those edits prepared? No changes to reference/spec, unstable rustc docs are moved to the stable book as part of the stabilization PR. ## Does this feature introduce new expressions and can they produce temporaries? What are the lifetimes of those temporaries? No. ## What other unstable features may be exposed by this feature? `-Zembed-source` requires use of DWARF 5 extensions but has its own feature gate. ## What is tooling support like for this feature, w.r.t rustdoc, clippy, rust-analzyer, rustfmt, etc.? No support needed for rustdoc, clippy, rust-analyzer, rustfmt or rustup. Cargo could expose this as an option in build profiles but I would expect the decision as to what version should be used would be made for the entire crate graph at build time rather than by individual package authors. cc-rs has support for detecting the presence of `-{C,Z} dwarf-version` in `RUSTFLAGS` and providing the corresponding flag to Clang/gcc (rust-lang/cc-rs#1395). --- Closes rust-lang#103057

Other debuginfo formats exist (msvc's CodeView format or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabs) so we could have chosen to generalize the flag name (`-{C,Z} debuginfo-version=dwarf-5` for example). While this would extend cleanly to support formats other than DWARF, there are some downsides to this design. Neither CodeView nor Stabs have specification or format versions so it's not clear what values would be supported beyond `dwarf-{2,3,4,5}` or `codeview`. We would also need to take care to ensure the name does not lead users to think they can pick a format other than one supported by the target. For instance, what would `--target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc -Cdebuginfo-version=dwarf-5` do? 2. What is the behavior when flag is used on targets that do not support DWARF? Currently, passing `-{C,Z} dwarf-version` on targets like `*-windows-msvc` does not do anything. It may be preferable to emit a warning alerting the user that the flag has no effect on the target platform. Alternatively, we could emit an error but this could be annoying since it would require the use of target specific RUSTFLAGS to use the flag correctly (and there isn't a way to target "any platform that uses DWARF" using cfgs). 3. Does the precompiled standard library potentially using a different version of DWARF a problem? I don't believe this is an issue as debuggers (and other such tools) already must deal with the possibility that an application uses different DWARF versions across its statically or dynamically linked libraries. ## Are there extensions to this feature that remain unstable? How do we know that we are not accidentally committing to those. No extensions per se, although future DWARF versions could be considered as such. At present, we validate the requested DWARF version is between 2 and 5 (inclusive) so new DWARF versions will not automatically be supported until the validation logic is adjusted. ## Summarize the major parts of the implementation and provide links into the code (or to PRs) - Targets define their preferred or default DWARF version: https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_target/src/spec/mod.rs#L2369 - We use the target default but this can be overriden by `-{C,Z} dwarf-version` https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_session/src/session.rs#L738 - The flag is validated https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_session/src/session.rs#L1253-L1258 - When debuginfo is generated, we tell LLVM to use the requested value or the target default https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/34a5ea911c56e79bd451c63f04ea2f5023d7d1a3/compiler/rustc_codegen_llvm/src/debuginfo/mod.rs#L106 ## Summarize existing test coverage of this feature - Test that we actually generate the appropriate DWARF version - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/assembly/dwarf5.rs - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/assembly/dwarf4.rs - Test that LTO with different DWARF versions picks the highest version - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/assembly/dwarf-mixed-versions-lto.rs - Test DWARF versions 2-5 are valid while 0, 1 and 6 report an error - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/ui/debuginfo/dwarf-versions.rs - Ensure LLVM does not report a warning when LTO'ing different DWARF versions together - https://github.com./rust-lang/rust/blob/master/tests/ui/lto/dwarf-mixed-versions-lto.rs ## Has a call-for-testing period been conducted?

No FIXMEs related to this feature. ## What static checks are done that are needed to prevent undefined behavior? This feature cannot cause undefined behavior.

No changes to reference/spec, unstable rustc docs are moved to the stable book as part of the stabilization PR. ## Does this feature introduce new expressions and can they produce temporaries? What are the lifetimes of those temporaries? No. ## What other unstable features may be exposed by this feature? `-Zembed-source` requires use of DWARF 5 extensions but has its own feature gate. ## What is tooling support like for this feature, w.r.t rustdoc, clippy, rust-analzyer, rustfmt, etc.? No support needed for rustdoc, clippy, rust-analyzer, rustfmt or rustup. Cargo could expose this as an option in build profiles but I would expect the decision as to what version should be used would be made for the entire crate graph at build time rather than by individual package authors. cc-rs has support for detecting the presence of `-{C,Z} dwarf-version` in `RUSTFLAGS` and providing the corresponding flag to Clang/gcc (rust-lang/cc-rs#1395). --- Closes rust-lang#103057

.debug_pubnames
and.debug_pubtypes
are poorly designed and peopleseldom use them. However, they take a considerable portion of size in
the final binary. This tells LLVM stop emitting those sections on
DWARFv4 or lower. DWARFv5 use
.debug_names
which is more concisein size and performant for name lookup.
