It turns out this job hasn't been running for quite a while (perhaps
ever) so there are quite a few failures when running the linter locally.

`hscCompileCoreExprHook` is changed to return a list of `Module`s required
by a splice. These modules are accumulated in the TcGblEnv (tcg_th_needed_mods).
Dependencies on the object files of these modules are recording in the
interface.
The data structures in `LoaderState` are replaced with more efficient versions
to keep track of all the information required. The
MultiLayerModulesTH_Make allocations increase slightly but runtime is
faster.

Multiple home units allows you to load different packages which may depend on
each other into one GHC session. This will allow both GHCi and HLS to support
multi component projects more naturally.
Public Interface
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to specify multiple units, the -unit @⟨filename⟩ flag
is given multiple times with a response file containing the arguments for each unit.
The response file contains a newline separated list of arguments.
```
ghc -unit @unitLibCore -unit @unitLib
```
where the `unitLibCore` response file contains the normal arguments that cabal would pass to `--make` mode.
```
-this-unit-id lib-core-0.1.0.0
-i
-isrc
LibCore.Utils
LibCore.Types
```
The response file for lib, can specify a dependency on lib-core, so then modules in lib can use modules from lib-core.
```
-this-unit-id lib-0.1.0.0
-package-id lib-core-0.1.0.0
-i
-isrc
Lib.Parse
Lib.Render
```
Then when the compiler starts in --make mode it will compile both units lib and lib-core.
There is also very basic support for multiple home units in GHCi, at the
moment you can start a GHCi session with multiple units but only the
:reload is supported. Most commands in GHCi assume a single home unit,
and so it is additional work to work out how to modify the interface to
support multiple loaded home units.
Options used when working with Multiple Home Units
There are a few extra flags which have been introduced specifically for
working with multiple home units. The flags allow a home unit to pretend
it’s more like an installed package, for example, specifying the package
name, module visibility and reexported modules.
-working-dir ⟨dir⟩
It is common to assume that a package is compiled in the directory
where its cabal file resides. Thus, all paths used in the compiler
are assumed to be relative to this directory. When there are
multiple home units the compiler is often not operating in the
standard directory and instead where the cabal.project file is
located. In this case the -working-dir option can be passed which
specifies the path from the current directory to the directory the
unit assumes to be it’s root, normally the directory which contains
the cabal file.
When the flag is passed, any relative paths used by the compiler are
offset by the working directory. Notably this includes -i and
-I⟨dir⟩ flags.
-this-package-name ⟨name⟩
This flag papers over the awkward interaction of the PackageImports
and multiple home units. When using PackageImports you can specify
the name of the package in an import to disambiguate between modules
which appear in multiple packages with the same name.
This flag allows a home unit to be given a package name so that you
can also disambiguate between multiple home units which provide
modules with the same name.
-hidden-module ⟨module name⟩
This flag can be supplied multiple times in order to specify which
modules in a home unit should not be visible outside of the unit it
belongs to.
The main use of this flag is to be able to recreate the difference
between an exposed and hidden module for installed packages.
-reexported-module ⟨module name⟩
This flag can be supplied multiple times in order to specify which
modules are not defined in a unit but should be reexported. The
effect is that other units will see this module as if it was defined
in this unit.
The use of this flag is to be able to replicate the reexported
modules feature of packages with multiple home units.
Offsetting Paths in Template Haskell splices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When using Template Haskell to embed files into your program,
traditionally the paths have been interpreted relative to the directory
where the .cabal file resides. This causes problems for multiple home
units as we are compiling many different libraries at once which have
.cabal files in different directories.
For this purpose we have introduced a way to query the value of the
-working-dir flag to the Template Haskell API. By using this function we
can implement a makeRelativeToProject function which offsets a path
which is relative to the original project root by the value of
-working-dir.
```
import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax ( makeRelativeToProject )
foo = $(makeRelativeToProject "./relative/path" >>= embedFile)
```
> If you write a relative path in a Template Haskell splice you should use the makeRelativeToProject function so that your library works correctly with multiple home units.
A similar function already exists in the file-embed library. The
function in template-haskell implements this function in a more robust
manner by honouring the -working-dir flag rather than searching the file
system.
Closure Property for Home Units
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For tools or libraries using the API there is one very important closure
property which must be adhered to:
> Any dependency which is not a home unit must not (transitively) depend
on a home unit.
For example, if you have three packages p, q and r, then if p depends on
q which depends on r then it is illegal to load both p and r as home
units but not q, because q is a dependency of the home unit p which
depends on another home unit r.
If you are using GHC by the command line then this property is checked,
but if you are using the API then you need to check this property
yourself. If you get it wrong you will probably get some very confusing
errors about overlapping instances.
Limitations of Multiple Home Units
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a few limitations of the initial implementation which will be smoothed out on user demand.
* Package thinning/renaming syntax is not supported
* More complicated reexports/renaming are not yet supported.
* It’s more common to run into existing linker bugs when loading a
large number of packages in a session (for example #20674, #20689)
* Backpack is not yet supported when using multiple home units.
* Dependency chasing can be quite slow with a large number of
modules and packages.
* Loading wired-in packages as home units is currently not supported
(this only really affects GHC developers attempting to load
template-haskell).
* Barely any normal GHCi features are supported, it would be good to
support enough for ghcid to work correctly.
Despite these limitations, the implementation works already for nearly
all packages. It has been testing on large dependency closures,
including the whole of head.hackage which is a total of 4784 modules
from 452 packages.
Internal Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* The biggest change is that the HomePackageTable is replaced with the
HomeUnitGraph. The HomeUnitGraph is a map from UnitId to HomeUnitEnv,
which contains information specific to each home unit.
* The HomeUnitEnv contains:
- A unit state, each home unit can have different package db flags
- A set of dynflags, each home unit can have different flags
- A HomePackageTable
* LinkNode: A new node type is added to the ModuleGraph, this is used to
place the linking step into the build plan so linking can proceed in
parralel with other packages being built.
* New invariant: Dependencies of a ModuleGraphNode can be completely
determined by looking at the value of the node. In order to achieve
this, downsweep now performs a more complete job of downsweeping and
then the dependenices are recorded forever in the node rather than
being computed again from the ModSummary.
* Some transitive module calculations are rewritten to use the
ModuleGraph which is more efficient.
* There is always an active home unit, which simplifies modifying a lot
of the existing API code which is unit agnostic (for example, in the
driver).
The road may be bumpy for a little while after this change but the
basics are well-tested.
One small metric increase, which we accept and also submodule update to
haddock which removes ExtendedModSummary.
Closes #10827

Before this patch, plugin units were linked with the target code even
when the unit was passed via `-plugin-package`. This is an issue to
support plugins in cross-compilers (plugins are definitely not ABI
compatible with target code).
We now clearly separate unit dependencies for plugins and unit
dependencies for target code and only link the latter ones.
We've also added a test to ensure that plugin units passed via
`-package` are linked with target code so that `thNameToGhcName` can
still be used in plugins that need it (see T20218b).

This patch comprises of four different but closely related ideas. The
net result is fixing a large number of open issues with the driver
whilst making it simpler to understand.
1. Use the hash of the source file to determine whether the source file
has changed or not. This makes the recompilation checking more robust to
modern build systems which are liable to copy files around changing
their modification times.
2. Remove the concept of a "stable module", a stable module was one
where the object file was older than the source file, and all transitive
dependencies were also stable. Now we don't rely on the modification
time of the source file, the notion of stability is moot.
3. Fix TH/plugin recompilation after the removal of stable modules. The
TH recompilation check used to rely on stable modules. Now there is a
uniform and simple way, we directly track the linkables which were
loaded into the interpreter whilst compiling a module. This is an
over-approximation but more robust wrt package dependencies changing.
4. Fix recompilation checking for dynamic object files. Now we actually
check if the dynamic object file exists when compiling with -dynamic-too

This commit modifies interface files so that *only* direct information
about modules and packages is stored in the interface file.
* Only direct module and direct package dependencies are stored in the
interface files.
* Trusted packages are now stored separately as they need to be checked
transitively.
* hs-boot files below the compiled module in the home module are stored
so that eps_is_boot can be calculated in one-shot mode without loading
all interface files in the home package.
* The transitive closure of signatures is stored separately
This is important for two reasons
* Less recompilation is needed, as motivated by #16885, a lot of
redundant compilation was triggered when adding new imports deep in the
module tree as all the parent interface files had to be redundantly
updated.
* Checking an interface file is cheaper because you don't have to
perform a transitive traversal to check the dependencies are up-to-date.
In the code, places where we would have used the transitive closure, we
instead compute the necessary transitive closure. The closure is not
computed very often, was already happening in checkDependencies, and
was already happening in getLinkDeps.

I was working on making DynFlags stateless (#17957), especially by
storing loaded plugins into HscEnv instead of DynFlags. It turned out to
be complicated because HscEnv is in GHC.Driver.Types but LoadedPlugin
isn't: it is in GHC.Driver.Plugins which depends on GHC.Driver.Types. I
didn't feel like introducing yet another hs-boot file to break the loop.
Additionally I remember that while we introduced the module hierarchy
(#13009) we talked about splitting GHC.Driver.Types because it contained
various unrelated types and functions, but we never executed. I didn't
feel like making GHC.Driver.Types bigger with more unrelated Plugins
related types, so finally I bit the bullet and split GHC.Driver.Types.
As a consequence this patch moves a lot of things. I've tried to put
them into appropriate modules but nothing is set in stone.
Several other things moved to avoid loops.
* Removed Binary instances from GHC.Utils.Binary for random compiler
things
* Moved Typeable Binary instances into GHC.Utils.Binary.Typeable: they
import a lot of things that users of GHC.Utils.Binary don't want to
depend on.
* put everything related to Units/Modules under GHC.Unit:
GHC.Unit.Finder, GHC.Unit.Module.{ModGuts,ModIface,Deps,etc.}
* Created several modules under GHC.Types: GHC.Types.Fixity, SourceText,
etc.
* Split GHC.Utils.Error (into GHC.Types.Error)
* Finally removed GHC.Driver.Types
Note that this patch doesn't put loaded plugins into HscEnv. It's left
for another patch.
