Clippy: Revert change from last sync
r? `@Manishearth`
cc `@ebroto`
Note that the commit e898015 doesn't exist like this in the Clippy repo. I didn't want to do a full sync, because this would've included at least one new lint, which I wanted to avoid a week before beta is branched. This just reverts one commit from the last sync.
Utilize PGO for rustc linux dist builds
This implements support for applying PGO to the rustc compilation step (not
standard library or any tooling, including rustdoc). Expanding PGO to more tools
is not terribly difficult but will involve more work and greater CI time
commitment.
For the same reason of avoiding greater implementation time commitment,
implementing for platforms outside of x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is skipped.
In practice it should be quite simple to extend over time to more platforms. The
initial implementation is intentionally minimal here to avoid too much work
investment before we start seeing wins for a subset of Rust users.
The choice of workloads to profile here is somewhat arbitrary, but the general
rationale was to aim for a small set that largely avoided time regressions on
perf.rust-lang.org's full suite of crates. The set chosen is libcore, cargo (and
its dependencies), and a few ad-hoc stress tests from perf.rlo. The stress tests
are arguably the most controversial, but they benefit those cases (avoiding
regressions) and do not really remove wins from other benchmarks.
The primary next step after this PR lands is to implement support for PGO in
LLVM. It is unclear whether we can afford a full LLVM rebuild in CI, though, so
the approach taken there may need to be more staggered. rustc-only PGO seems
well affordable on linux at least, giving us up to 20% wall time wins on some
crates for 15 minutes of extra CI time (1 hour with this PR, up from 45 minutes).
The PGO data is uploaded to allow others to reuse it if attempting to reproduce
the CI build or potentially, in the future, on other platforms where an
off-by-one strategy is used for dist builds at minimal performance cost.

Deprecate atomic compare_and_swap method
Finish implementing [RFC 1443](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1443-extended-compare-and-swap.md) (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1443).
It was decided to deprecate `compare_and_swap` [back in Rust 1.12 already](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/31767#issuecomment-215903038). I can't find any info about that decision being reverted. My understanding is just that it has been forgotten. If there has been a decision on keeping `compare_and_swap` then it's hard to find, and even if this PR does not go through it can act as a place where people can find out about the decision being reverted.
Atomic operations are hard to understand, very hard. And it does not help that there are multiple similar methods to do compare and swap with. They are so similar that for a reader it might be hard to understand the difference. This PR aims to make that simpler by finally deprecating `compare_and_swap` which is essentially just a more limited version of `compare_exchange`. The documentation is also updated (according to the RFC text) to explain the differences a bit better.
Even if we decide to not deprecate `compare_and_swap`. I still think the documentation for the atomic operations should be improved to better describe their differences and similarities. And the documentation can be written nicer than the PR currently proposes, but I wanted to start somewhere. Most of it is just copied from the RFC.
The documentation for `compare_exchange` and `compare_exchange_weak` indeed describe how they work! The problem is that they are more complex and harder to understand than `compare_and_swap`. So for someone who does not fully grasp this they might fall back to using `compare_and_swap`. Making the documentation outline the similarities and differences might build a bridge for people so they can cross over to the more powerful and sometimes more efficient operations.
The conversions I do to avoid the `std` internal deprecation errors are very straight forward `compare_and_swap -> compare_exchange` changes where the orderings are just using the mapping in the new documentation. Only in one place did I use `compare_exchange_weak`. This can probably be improved further. But the goal here was not for those operations to be perfect. Just to not get worse and to allow the deprecation to happen.
Remove `DefPath` from `Visibility` and calculate it on demand
Depends on #80090 and should not be merged before. Helps with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79103 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76382.
cc https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/80014#issuecomment-746810284 - `@nnethercote` I figured it out! It was simpler than I expected :)
This brings the size of `clean::Visibility` down from 40 bytes to 8.
Note that this does *not* remove `clean::Visibility`, even though it's now basically the same as `ty::Visibility`, because the `Invsible` variant means something different from `Inherited` and I thought it would be be confusing to merge the two. See the new comments on `impl Clean for ty::Visibility` for details.
Turn helper method into a closure
`replace_prefix` is currently implemented as a method but has no real relation
to the struct it is implemented on. Turn it into a closure and move it into the
only method from which it is called.
