You added a generic parameter to the backtrace markers which removes their address stability: rust/src/tools/miri/src/machine.rs Lines 1887 to 1926 in a33907a Miri explicitly tries to destabilize function pointer addresses in all cases where it would be plausible for an optimizer to do so. |

Locate the beginning and ending frames for short backtraces by address in addition to symbol name, so that they work even when symbols have been stripped from the executable. We need to retain matching by symbol name for the time being, because rustc (and some associated ui tests) rely upon it to have ICE backtraces abbreviated. They can be updated once this commit lands in beta/stage0.
The new short backtrace markers place three frames in backtraces: the marker initially invoked by downstream code (should be inlined into such downstream code); the type-erased marker at a known-address (detected by the backtrace printing code); and the type-restoring callback shim (into which the actual callback should also be inlined). This differs from the status-quo ante, where the backtrace markers placed only a single frame into backtraces. Whilst these additional frames should have negligible impact on runtime performance (not only are they called, by the language runtime, at most twice: once during start before invoking main and once upon panic, if any; but furthermore, due to the aforementioned inlining, optimized assembly should be very similar - the additional frames will mostly only arise from additional debug info), the expected outputs from some miri tests require updating to reflect these backtrace changes.
This status-quo ante of this naked function test defined a label with the symbolic name `.L7`. However, changes to the stack could cause a collision with that same symbolic name being defined by compiler- generated code; therefore we use a local label instead to guarantee collision avoidance.

We need to retain matching by symbol name for the time being, because rustc (and some associated ui tests) rely upon it to have ICE backtraces abbreviated. They can be updated once this commit lands in beta/stage0. (It is for this reason that the begin/end methods are being publicly exported from
std::backtrace, albeit hidden from documentation and marked unstable).Fixes #147846
