error when ABI does not support guaranteed tail calls

Some ABIs cannot support guaranteed tail calls. There isn't really an exhaustive list, so this is a best effort. Conveniently, we already disallow calling most of these directly anyway. The only exception that I was able to trigger an LLVM assertion with so far was `cmse-nonsecure-entry`.

For that calling convention, LLVM specifically notes that  (guaranteed) tail calls cannot be supported:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/28dbbba6c3a4e026e085c48cc022cb97b5d8bc6d/llvm/lib/Target/ARM/ARMISelLowering.cpp#L2331-L2335

---

I have some doubts about the implementation here though. I think it would be nicer to use `CanonAbi`, and move the `become` ABI check into `rustc_hir_typeck`, similar to `check_call_abi`:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d6deffe2debecc66501e50f9573214139ab4d678/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/callee.rs#L157-L194

Both the check for whether an ABI is callable and whether it supports guaranteed tail calls can then be methods (containing exhaustive matches) on `CanonAbi`. I'm however not sure

- if the ABI checks are deliberately only performed when constructing MIR
- what assumptions can be made about the `call` expression in [`check_expr_become`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d6deffe2debecc66501e50f9573214139ab4d678/compiler/rustc_hir_typeck/src/expr.rs#L1126-L1150), it looks like currently the check that the "argument" to `become` is a function call also only occurs later during MIR construction

Are there issues with validating the ABI earlier in `rustc_hir_typeck` that I'm overlooking? I believe that we should already know the call's ABI and whether it is c-variadic at that point.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
