Rollup merge of rust-lang#99767 - LeSeulArtichaut:stable-target-feature-11, r=estebank
Stabilize `#![feature(target_feature_11)]`
## Stabilization report
### Summary
Allows for safe functions to be marked with `#[target_feature]` attributes.
Functions marked with `#[target_feature]` are generally considered as unsafe functions: they are unsafe to call, cannot be assigned to safe function pointers, and don't implement the `Fn*` traits.
However, calling them from other `#[target_feature]` functions with a superset of features is safe.
```rust
// Demonstration function
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
fn avx2() {}
fn foo() {
// Calling `avx2` here is unsafe, as we must ensure
// that AVX is available first.
unsafe {
avx2();
}
}
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
fn bar() {
// Calling `avx2` here is safe.
avx2();
}
```
### Test cases
Tests for this feature can be found in [`src/test/ui/rfcs/rfc-2396-target_feature-11/`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/b67ba9ba208ac918228a18321fc3a11a99b1c62b/src/test/ui/rfcs/rfc-2396-target_feature-11/).
### Edge cases
- rust-lang#73631
Closures defined inside functions marked with `#[target_feature]` inherit the target features of their parent function. They can still be assigned to safe function pointers and implement the appropriate `Fn*` traits.
```rust
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
fn qux() {
let my_closure = || avx2(); // this call to `avx2` is safe
let f: fn() = my_closure;
}
```
This means that in order to call a function with `#[target_feature]`, you must show that the target-feature is available while the function executes *and* for as long as whatever may escape from that function lives.
