This ends up disabling frame pointer elimination on aarch64_apple_darwin
which matches what clang does by default along with the
aarch64_apple_ios and x86_64_apple_darwin targets.

Further, the Apple docs "Writing ARM64 Code for Apple Platforms" has a section
called "Respect the Purpose of Specific CPU Registers" which
specifically calls out the frame pointer register (x29):

The frame pointer register (x29) must always address a valid frame
record. Some functions — such as leaf functions or tail calls — may
opt not to create an entry in this list As a result, stack traces
are always meaningful, even without debug information.

Other platforms are updated to not override the default.

This should also fix profiling rust code on the M1 in Instruments.

I'd like to emphasize the importance of this change: Without this, profiles taken with Instruments are basically useless. And there is no workaround.

Please remove the now-unnecessary override from the specific targets (such as aarch64_apple_ios).

It would be nice, also, if you could incorporate the information from the comment above into the original PR description so that it ends up in the merge commit.

r=me once these are done.

Oh, neat!

(Edit for future me: One way to use it is RUSTFLAGS="-C force-frame-pointers=yes" cargo build --release)
