Rollup merge of rust-lang#142146 - workingjubilee:doubt-that-cmse-nonsecure-abis-always-match-c, r=compiler-errors
Withdraw the claim `extern "C-cmse-nonsecure-*"` always matches `extern "C"`
We currently claim that `extern "C-cmse-nonsecure-*"` ABIs will always match `extern "C"`, but that seems... **optimistic** when one considers that `extern "C"` is ambiguous enough to be redefined in ways we may not want the Cortex M Security Extensions ABIs to mirror. If some configuration, feature, or other platform quirk that applied to Arm CPUs with CMSE would modify the `extern "C"` ABI, it does not seem like we should guarantee that also applies to the `extern "cmse-nonsecure-*"` ABIs. Anything involving target modifiers that might affect register availability or usage could make us liars if, for instance, clang decides those apply to normal C functions but not ones with the CMSE attributes, but we still want to have interop with the C compiler.
We simply do not control enough of the factors involved to both force these ABIs to match and still provide useful interop, so we shouldn't implicitly promise they do. We should leave this judgement call to the decisions of platform experts who can afford to keep up with the latest news from Cambridge, instead of enshrining today's hopeful guess forever in Rust's permitted ABIs.
It's a bit weird anyways.
- The attributes are `__attribute__((cmse_nonsecure_call))` and `__attribute__((cmse_nonsecure_entry))`, so the obvious choice is `extern "cmse-nonsecure-call"` and `extern "cmse-nonsecure-entry"`.
- We do not prefix any other ABI that reflects (or even *is*) a C ABI with "C-", with the exception of the Rust-defined `extern "C-unwind`", e.g. we do not have `extern "C-aapcs"` or `extern "C-sysv64"`.
