Rollup merge of #154616 - erickt:quiet, r=jieyouxu

Add `--quiet` flag to x.py and bootstrap to suppress output

This adds a `--quiet` flag to x.py and bootstrap to suppress some of the output when compiling Rust. It conflicts with `--verbose`, matching the behavior of `cargo` which does not allow `--verbose` and `--quiet`.

It works by passing quiet flags down to the underlying cargo, or LLVM build processes. Note that for LLVM, we only can suppress logs when we explicitly configure it with ninja. Otherwise we won't know what flag to pass along to whichever build system cmake decides to use.

This can be helpful with AI workloads in the Rust codebase to help shrink down the output to reduce token usage, which can help prevent context pollution and lower costs.

This patch was partially generated with Gemini, but I've reviewed the changes it made.

Website | Getting started | Learn | Documentation | Contributing

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).

Quick Start

Read “Installation” from The Book.

Installing from Source

If you really want to install from source (though this is not recommended), see INSTALL.md.

Getting Help

See https://www.rust-lang.org/community for a list of chat platforms and forums.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

For a detailed explanation of the compiler's architecture and how to begin contributing, see the rustc-dev-guide.
