Target feature implications for negative features are handled inconsistently between codegen and cfg(target_feature)

Relevant to the compiler team, which will review and decide on the PR/issue.
The logic that computes
cfg(target_feature)
takes into account target feature implications when handling something like-sse
: it will also removeavx
from the list of enabled target features in that case. However, the logic that computes which flags we set for codegen (which, unfortunately, is completely separate), does not do the same: it will add-sse
to LLVM's target feature list, but does not do anything about Rust-level target feature implications.This can't be correct -- either negative target features also imply that their "reverse dependencies" get disabled, or they do not. We shouldn't do one thing in codegen and a different thing for
cfg
. Or is there some good reason for this?The logic for this was added in #128221.
