Rework stability annotation pass #29083

What this patch does:

  • Stability annotations are now based on "exported items" supplied by rustc_privacy and not "public items". Exported items are as accessible for external crates as directly public items and should be annotated with stability attributes.
  • Trait impls require annotations now.
  • Reexports require annotations now.
  • Crates themselves didn't require annotations, now they do.
  • Exported macros are annotated now, but these annotations are not used yet.
  • Some useless annotations are detected and result in errors
  • Finally, some small bugs are fixed - deprecation propagates from stable deprecated parents, items in blocks are traversed correctly (fixes Stability attributes are required for some inaccessible items #29034) + some code cleanup.

Should be good for a rebase now!

Rebased.

Oh, wait.
Making unstability inherited only from immediate parents was a bad idea after all. This way annotation of trait impls and their items will require huge work. I'll revert it tomorrow.

Disregard the previous message. Everything will have to be annotated anyway when libcore root is stabilized. Better not to wait until that moment.

I'm a little wary about using exported items because as you've found it's pretty lossy and requires annotating a little too much, but can you elaborate on how it deals with trait items differently? I'm always a little hazy on the difference between public and exported items, but it may just be a bug that trait items aren't listed as public.

This is actually intended to be stable (good that this PR caught the bug!), so could you tag it as stable since 1.0.0?

Also starting a crater run to see what the impact is (hopefully small!)

Crater reports six regressions, 4 of which are legitimate and 2 of which seem unrelated but also legit?

Sorry for the delay.

4 legitimately regressed crates are on unstable. Unstable Fn::call and Peekable::is_empty were guarded by feature(core), now they are guarded by their own features - fn_call and iter_peekable. I guess it's an acceptable breakage, but it's possible to annotate them with feature(core) to avoid it.

2 unrelated regressions look... completely unrelated.

Trait items, impls and impl items are not public, but exported, so they can be left without annotations and therefore lead to "use of unmarked library feature" errors. We don't see these errors now, because the checking pass doesn't look at impls and impl items currently and all trait items have explicit or inherited stability by luck.

The annotation overhead from using exported set is not so serious. It just looks large here, because everything is gathered in one commit. We have approximately 4000 annotated items and only 12 of them are "spurious". Statistically, almost nothing.

On the other hand, it's certainly possible to extend the public set with exported trait items, impls and impl items. In fact, this was the first thing I did! But then I realized three things - 1) after this adjustment public set becomes suspiciously similar to the exported set, 2) I don't actually understand what the public set is supposed to be. 3) I'm still not sure if non-public exported traits (or their items, more importantly) need stability or not. So, I decided not to disrupt the public set with my extra additions, but to use the exported set instead. (It's interesting, that stability annotation pass was actually the only user of the public set besides rustdoc, everything else uses the exported set).

In principle, annotation pass can build its own node set, or use exported set for everything except for traits and public set for traits, but it would be additional cruft for little gain, IMO.

@petrochenkov

I'm currently annotating trait impls and various pieces of internal code keep requiring annotations :(
I have an impression now, that extending the public set does make more sense, but not with all exported impls, but only with impls with public trait and self type. Otherwise methods of these impls can't be explicitly called from external code (modulo privacy bugs).

@petrochenkov

Updated with annotations on trait impls.
Okay, now I'm going to extend the public node set and use it to get rid of the annotations on internal items.

The public set is expanded with trait items, impls and their items, foreign items, exported macros, variant fields, i.e. all the missing parts. Now it's a subset of the exported set.
This is needed for #29083 because stability annotation pass uses the public set and all things listed above need to be annotated.
Rustdoc can now be migrated to the public set as well, I guess.

Exported set is now slightly more correct with regard to exported items in blocks - 1) blocks in foreign items are considered and 2) publicity is not inherited from the block's parent - if a function is public it doesn't mean structures defined in its body are public.

This wasn't done in #29083 because attributes weren't parsed on fields of tuple variant back then.
