/*
 * A note on nomenclature of linking: "extern", "foreign", and "upcall".
 *
 * An "extern" is an LLVM symbol we wind up emitting an undefined external
 * reference to. This means "we don't have the thing in this compilation unit,
 * please make sure you link it in at runtime". This could be a reference to
 * C code found in a C library, or rust code found in a rust crate.
 *
 * Most "externs" are implicitly declared (automatically) as a result of a
 * user declaring an extern _module_ dependency; this causes the rust driver
 * to locate an extern crate, scan its compilation metadata, and emit extern
 * declarations for any symbols used by the declaring crate.
 *
 * A "foreign" is an extern that references C (or other non-rust ABI) code.
 * There is no metadata to scan for extern references so in these cases either
 * a header-digester like bindgen, or manual function prototypes, have to
 * serve as declarators. So these are usually given explicitly as prototype
 * declarations, in rust code, with ABI attributes on them noting which ABI to
 * link via.
 *
 * An "upcall" is a foreign call generated by the compiler (not corresponding
 * to any user-written call in the code) into the runtime library, to perform
 * some helper task such as bringing a task to life, allocating memory, etc.
