cranelift-isle: Add "partial" flag for constructors (#5392)
* cranelift-isle: Add "partial" flag for constructors
Instead of tying fallibility of constructors to whether they're either
internal or pure, this commit assumes all constructors are infallible
unless tagged otherwise with a "partial" flag.
Internal constructors without the "partial" flag are not allowed to use
constructors which have the "partial" flag on the right-hand side of any
rules, because they have no way to report last-minute match failures.
Multi-constructors should never be "partial"; they report match failures
with an empty iterator instead. In turn this means you can't use partial
constructors on the right-hand side of internal multi-constructor rules.
However, you can use the same constructors on the left-hand side with
`if` or `if-let` instead.
In many cases, ISLE can already trivially prove that an internal
constructor always returns `Some`. With this commit, those cases are
largely unchanged, except for removing all the `Option`s and `Some`s
from the generated code for those terms.
However, for internal non-partial constructors where ISLE could not
prove that, it now emits an `unreachable!` panic as the last-resort,
instead of returning `None` like it used to do. Among the existing
backends, here's how many constructors have these panic cases:
- x64: 14% (53/374)
- aarch64: 15% (41/277)
- riscv64: 23% (26/114)
- s390x: 47% (268/567)
It's often possible to rewrite rules so that ISLE can tell the panic can
never be hit. Just ensure that there's a lowest-priority rule which has
no constraints on the left-hand side.
But in many of these constructors, it's difficult to statically prove
the unhandled cases are unreachable because that's only down to
knowledge about how they're called or other preconditions.
So this commit does not try to enforce that all terms have a last-resort
fallback rule.
* Check term flags while translating expressions
Instead of doing it in a separate pass afterward.
This involved threading all the term flags (pure, multi, partial)
through the recursive `translate_expr` calls, so I extracted the flags
to a new struct so they can all be passed together.
* Validate multi-term usage
Now that I've threaded the flags through `translate_expr`, it's easy to
check this case too, so let's just do it.
* Extract `ReturnKind` to use in `ExternalSig`
There are only three legal states for the combination of `multi` and
`infallible`, so replace those fields of `ExternalSig` with a
three-state enum.
* Remove `Option` wrapper from multi-extractors too
If we'd had any external multi-constructors this would correct their
signatures as well.
* Update ISLE tests
* Tag prelude constructors as pure where appropriate
I believe the only reason these weren't marked `pure` before was because
that would have implied that they're also partial. Now that those two
states are specified separately we apply this flag more places.
* Fix my changes to aarch64 `lower_bmask` and `imm` terms
