1 Regressions, 4 Improvements, 0 Mixed; 0 of them in rollups

#### Regressions

Support forwarding caller location through trait object method call [#81360](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81360)
- Moderate regression in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=a84d1b21aea9863f0fc5f436b4982d145dade646&end=3982eb35cabe3a99194d768d34a92347967c3fa2&stat=instructions:u) (up to 1.5% on `incr-full` builds of `unused-warnings-check`)
- Largely due to increased number of calls to the newly-made query
  should_inherit_track_caller. Mostly higher regressions on smaller benchmarks.

#### Improvements

Stop generating `alloca`s & `memcmp` for simple short array equality [#85828](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85828)
- Moderate improvement in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=95fb1315217976ff4c268bb03c9b4132f0dfa9fd&end=ee86f96ba176f598d64dc9f3bb7e074d5b8b86b6&stat=instructions:u) (up to -2.2% on `incr-patched: b9b3e592dd cherry picked` builds of `style-servo-debug`)

- Moderate improvement in [instruction counts](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=240ff4c4a0d0936c9eeb783fa9ff5c0507a6ffb4&end=8d9d4c87d677552ae52e2d58034e4be199b5a6d2&stat=instructions:u) (up to -1.2% on `incr-unchanged` builds of `externs-opt`)
