Auto merge of #154327 - WaffleLapkin:drop_in_place_ref, r=RalfJung,scottmcm,saethlin change the type of the argument of `drop_in_place` lang item to `&mut _` We used to special case `core::ptr::drop_in_place` when computing LLVM argument attributes with this hack: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/db5e2dc248fe5bb26f70d7baec46a3bca9fa3e1d/compiler/rustc_ty_utils/src/abi.rs#L383-L392 This is because even though `drop_in_place` takes a `*mut T` it is semantically a `&mut T` (remember how `&mut Self` is passed to `Drop::drop`). This is apparently relevant for perf. This PR replaces this hack with a simpler solution -- it makes `drop_in_place` a thin wrapper around newly added `core::ptr::drop_glue`, which is the actual lang item and takes a `&mut T`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/d2563d5003bbecff1efc40c1f5673ceec603825b/library/core/src/ptr/mod.rs#L810-L833 ------ The rest of the PR is blessing tests and cleaning up things which are not necessary after this change. One thing that is a bit awkward is that now that `drop_glue` is the actual lang item, a lot of the comments referring to `drop_in_place` are outdated. Should I try fixing that? I've also changed `async_drop_in_place` to take a `&mut T`, and it simplified the code handling it a bit. (since it's unstable we don't need to introduce a wrapper) ------- cc @RalfJung Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/154274

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