Stabilize `core::slice::fill`
Tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70758
Stabilizes the `core::slice::fill` API in Rust 1.50, adding a `memset` doc alias so people coming from C/C++ looking for this operation can find it in the docs. This API hasn't seen any changes since we changed the signature in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/71165/, and it seems like the right time to propose stabilization. Thanks!

Deprecate atomic compare_and_swap method
Finish implementing [RFC 1443](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1443-extended-compare-and-swap.md) (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1443).
It was decided to deprecate `compare_and_swap` [back in Rust 1.12 already](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/31767#issuecomment-215903038). I can't find any info about that decision being reverted. My understanding is just that it has been forgotten. If there has been a decision on keeping `compare_and_swap` then it's hard to find, and even if this PR does not go through it can act as a place where people can find out about the decision being reverted.
Atomic operations are hard to understand, very hard. And it does not help that there are multiple similar methods to do compare and swap with. They are so similar that for a reader it might be hard to understand the difference. This PR aims to make that simpler by finally deprecating `compare_and_swap` which is essentially just a more limited version of `compare_exchange`. The documentation is also updated (according to the RFC text) to explain the differences a bit better.
Even if we decide to not deprecate `compare_and_swap`. I still think the documentation for the atomic operations should be improved to better describe their differences and similarities. And the documentation can be written nicer than the PR currently proposes, but I wanted to start somewhere. Most of it is just copied from the RFC.
The documentation for `compare_exchange` and `compare_exchange_weak` indeed describe how they work! The problem is that they are more complex and harder to understand than `compare_and_swap`. So for someone who does not fully grasp this they might fall back to using `compare_and_swap`. Making the documentation outline the similarities and differences might build a bridge for people so they can cross over to the more powerful and sometimes more efficient operations.
The conversions I do to avoid the `std` internal deprecation errors are very straight forward `compare_and_swap -> compare_exchange` changes where the orderings are just using the mapping in the new documentation. Only in one place did I use `compare_exchange_weak`. This can probably be improved further. But the goal here was not for those operations to be perfect. Just to not get worse and to allow the deprecation to happen.
Added [T; N]::zip()
This is my first PR to rust so I hope I have done everything right, or at least close :)
---
This is PR adds the array method `[T; N]::zip()` which, in my mind, is a natural extension to #75212.
My implementation of `zip()` is mostly just a modified copy-paste of `map()`. Should I keep the comments? Also am I right in assuming there should be no way for the `for`-loop to panic, thus no need for the dropguard seen in the `map()`-function?
The doc comment is in a similar way a slightly modified copy paste of [`Iterator::zip()`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/std/iter/trait.Iterator.html#method.zip)
`@jplatte` mentioned in [#75490](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75490#issuecomment-677790758) `zip_with()`,
> zip and zip_with seem like they would be useful :)
is this something I should add (assuming there is interest for this PR at all :))
Fix memory leak in test "mem::uninit_write_slice_cloned_no_drop"
This fixes#80116. I replaced the `Rc` based method I was using with a type that panics when dropped.
Move {f32,f64}::clamp to core.
`clamp` was recently stabilized (tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44095). But although `Ord::clamp` was added in `core` (because `Ord` is in `core`), the versions for the `f32` and `f64` primitives were added in `std` (together with `floor`, `sin`, etc.), not in `core` (together with `min`, `max`, `from_bits`, etc.).
This change moves them to `core`, such that `clamp` on floats is available in `no_std` programs as well.
Integer types have a `count_ones` method that end up calling
`intrinsics::ctpop`.
On some architectures, that intrinsic is translated as a corresponding
CPU instruction know as "popcount" or "popcnt".
This PR makes it so that searching for those names in rustdoc shows those methods.

MaybeUninit::copy/clone_from_slice
This PR adds 2 new methods to MaybeUninit under the feature of `maybe_uninit_write_slice`: `copy_from_slice` and `clone_from_slice`.
These are useful for initializing uninitialized buffers (such as the one returned by `Vec::spare_capacity_mut` for example) with initialized data.
The methods behave similarly to the methods on slices, but the destination is uninitialized and they return the destination slice as an initialized slice.
std::iter: document iteration over `&T` and `&mut T`
A colleague of mine is new to Rust, and mentioned that it was “slightly
confusing” to figure out what `&mut` does in iterating over `&mut foo`:
```rust
for value in &mut self.my_vec {
// ...
}
```
My colleague had read the `std::iter` docs and not found the answer
there. There is a brief section at the top about “the three forms of
iteration”, which mentions `iter_mut`, but it doesn’t cover the purpose
of `&mut coll` for a collection `coll`. This patch adds an explanatory
section to the docs. I opted to create a new section so that it can
appear after the note that `impl<I: Iterator> IntoIterator for I`, and
it’s nice for the existing “three forms of iteration” to appear near the
top.
Test Plan:
Ran `./x.py doc library/core`, and the result looked good, including
links. Manually copy-pasted the two doctests into the playground and ran
them.

Add some core::cmp::Ordering helpers
...to allow easier equal-to-or-greater-than and less-than-or-equal-to
comparisons.
Prior to Rust 1.42 a greater-than-or-equal-to comparison might be written
either as a match block, or a traditional conditional check like this:
```rust
if cmp == Ordering::Equal || cmp == Ordering::Greater {
// Do something
}
```
Which requires two instances of `cmp`. Don't forget that while `cmp` here
is very short, it could be something much longer in real use cases.
From Rust 1.42 a nicer alternative is possible:
```rust
if matches!(cmp, Ordering::Equal | Ordering::Greater) {
// Do something
}
```
The commit adds another alternative which may be even better in some cases:
```rust
if cmp.is_equal_or_greater() {
// Do something
}
```
The earlier examples could be cleaner than they are if the variants of
`Ordering` are imported such that `Equal`, `Greater` and `Less` can be
referred to directly, but not everyone will want to do that.
The new solution can shorten lines, help avoid logic mistakes, and avoids
having to import `Ordering` / `Ordering::*`.

Constier maybe uninit
I was playing around trying to make `[T; N]::zip()` in #79451 be `const fn`. One of the things I bumped into was `MaybeUninit::assume_init`. Is there any reason for the intrinsic `assert_inhabited<T>()` and therefore `MaybeUninit::assume_init` not being `const`?
---
I have as best as I could tried to follow the instruction in [library/core/src/intrinsics.rs](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/library/core/src/intrinsics.rs#L11). I have no idea what I am doing but it seems to compile after some slight changes after the copy paste. Is this anywhere near how this should be done?
Also any ideas for name of the feature gate? I guess `const_maybe_assume_init` is quite misleading since I have added some more methods. Should I add test? If so what should be tested?

Use more std:: instead of core:: in docs for consistency
``@rustbot`` label T-doc
Some cleanup work to use `std::` instead of `core::` in docs as much as possible. This helps with terminology and consistency, especially for newcomers from other languages that have often heard of `std` to describe the standard library but not of `core`.
Edit: I also added more intra doc links when I saw the opportunity.
Avoid panic_bounds_check in fmt::write.
Writing any fmt::Arguments would trigger the inclusion of usize formatting and padding code in the resulting binary, because indexing used in fmt::write would generate code using panic_bounds_check, which prints the index and length.
These bounds checks are not necessary, as fmt::Arguments never contains any out-of-bounds indexes.
This change replaces them with unsafe get_unchecked, to reduce the amount of generated code, which is especially important for embedded targets.

Part of #68490.
Care has been taken to leave the old consts where appropriate, for testing backcompat regressions, module shadowing, etc. The intrinsics docs were accidentally referring to some methods on f64 as std::f64, which I changed due to being contrary with how we normally disambiguate the shadow module from the primitive. In one other place I changed std::u8 to std::ops since it was just testing path handling in macros.
For places which have legitimate uses of the old consts, deprecated attributes have been optimistically inserted. Although currently unnecessary, they exist to emphasize to any future deprecation effort the necessity of these specific symbols and prevent them from being accidentally removed.
Rename `optin_builtin_traits` to `auto_traits`
They were originally called "opt-in, built-in traits" (OIBITs), but
people realized that the name was too confusing and a mouthful, and so
they were renamed to just "auto traits". The feature flag's name wasn't
updated, though, so that's what this PR does.
There are some other spots in the compiler that still refer to OIBITs,
but I don't think changing those now is worth it since they are internal
and not particularly relevant to this PR.
Also see <https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/opt-in.2C.20built-in.20traits.20(auto.20traits).20feature.20name>.

Proposal to add Peekable::peek_mut
A "peekable" iterator has a `peek()`-method which provides an immutable reference to the next item. We currently do not have a method to modify that item, which we could easily add via a `peek_mut()`. See the test for a use-case (alike to my original use case), where a "pristine" iterator is passed on after modifying its state via `peek_mut()`.
If there is interest in this, I can expand on the tests and docs.
Document unsafety in core::slice::memchr
Contributes to #66219
Note sure if that's good enough, especially for the `align_to` call.
The docs only mention transmuting and I don't think that everything related to reference lifetimes and state validity mentioned in the [nomicon](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/transmutes.html) are relevant here.

Qualify `panic!` as `core::panic!` in non-built-in `core` macros

Impl Default for PhantomPinned
`PhantomPinned` is just a marker type, with an obvious default value (the only value). So I can't think of a reason not to do this. Sure, it's used in exotic situations with unsafe code. But the people writing that code can decide for themselves if they can derive `Default`, and in many situations the derived impl will make sense:
```rust
#[derive(Default)]
struct NeedsPin {
marker: PhantomPinned,
buf: [u8; 1024],
ptr_to_data: Option<*const u8>,
}

Stabilize alloc::Layout const functions
Stabilizes #67521. In particular the following stable methods are stabilized as `const fn`:
* `size`
* `align`
* `from_size_align`
Stabilizing `size` and `align` should not be controversial as they are simple (usize and NonZeroUsize) fields and I don't think there's any reason to make them not const compatible in the future. That being true, the other methods are trivially `const`. The only other issue being returning a `Result` from a `const fn` but this has been made more usable by recent stabilizations.
Split each iterator adapter and source into individual modules
This PR creates individual modules for each iterator adapter and iterator source.
This is done to enhance the readability of corresponding modules (`adapters/mod.rs` and `sources.rs`) which were hard to navigate and read because of lots of repeated lines (e.g.: `adapters/mod.rs` was 3k lines long). This is also in line with some adapters which already had their own modules (`Flatten`, `FlatMap`, `Chain`, `Zip`, `Fuse`).
This PR also makes `Take`s adapter fields private (I have no idea why they were `pub(super)` before).

More consistently use spaces after commas in lists in docs
This PR changes instances of lists that didn't use spaces after commas, like `vec![1,2,3]`, to `vec![1, 2, 3]` to be more consistent with idiomatic Rust style (the way these were looks strange to me, especially because there are often lists that *do* use spaces after the commas later in the same code block 😬).
I noticed one of these in an example in the stdlib docs and went looking for more, but as far as I can see, I'm only changing those spots in user-facing documentation or rustc output, and the changes make no semantic difference.
clarify rules for ZST Boxes
LLVM's rules around `getelementptr inbounds` with offset 0 are a bit annoying, and as a consequence we have no choice but say that a `Box<()>` pointing to previously allocated memory that has since been freed is UB. Clarify the docs to reflect this.
This is based on conversations on the LLVM mailing list.
* Here's my initial mail: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-February/130452.html
* The first email of the March part of that thread: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-March/130831.html
* First email of the April part: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-April/131693.html
The conclusion for me at least was that `getelementptr inbounds` with offset 0 is *not* the identity function, but can sometimes return `poison` even when the input is a regular pointer -- specifically, it returns `poison` when this pointer points into something that LLVM "knows has been deallocated", i.e., a former LLVM-managed allocation. It is however the identity function on pointers obtained by casting integers.
Note that there [are formal proposals](https://people.mpi-sws.org/~jung/twinsem/twinsem.pdf) for LLVM semantics where `getelementptr inbounds` with offset 0 isn't quite the identity function but never returns `poison` (it affects the provenance of the pointer but in a way that doesn't matter if this pointer is never used for memory accesses), and indeed this is likely necessary to consistently describe LLVM semantics. But with the informal LLVM LangRef that we have right now, and with LLVM devs insisting otherwise, it seems unwise to rely on this.
Add lint for panic!("{}")
This adds a lint that warns about `panic!("{}")`.
`panic!(msg)` invocations with a single argument use their argument as panic payload literally, without using it as a format string. The same holds for `assert!(expr, msg)`.
This lints checks if `msg` is a string literal (after expansion), and warns in case it contained braces. It suggests to insert `"{}", ` to use the message literally, or to add arguments to use it as a format string.
This lint is also a good starting point for adding warnings about `panic!(not_a_string)` later, once [`panic_any()`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74622) becomes a stable alternative.
