Add note to process::arg[s] that args shouldn't be escaped or quoted
This came out of discussion on [forum](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/how-to-get-full-output-from-command/50626), where I recently asked a question and it turned out that the problem was redundant quotation:
```rust
Command::new("rg")
.arg("\"pattern\"") // this will look for "pattern" with quotes included
```
This is something that has bitten me few times already (in multiple languages actually), so It'd be grateful to have it in the docs, even though it's not sctrictly Rust specific problem. Other users also agreed.
This can be really annoying to debug, because in many cases (inluding mine), quotes can be legal part of the argument, so the command doesn't fail, it just behaves unexpectedly. Not everybody (including me) knows that quotes around arguments are part of the shell and not part of the called program. Coincidentally, somoene had the same problem [yesterday](https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/jkxelc/going_crazy_over_running_a_curl_process_from_rust/) on reddit.
I am not a native speaker, so I welcome any corrections or better formulation, I don't expect this to be merged as is. I was also reminded that this is platform/shell specific behaviour, but I didn't find a good way to formulate that briefly, any ideas welcome.
It's also my first PR here, so I am not sure I did everything correctly, I did this just from Github UI.
make exp_m1 and ln_1p examples more representative of use
With this PR, the examples for `exp_m1` would fail if `x.exp() - 1.0` is used instead of `x.exp_m1()`, and the examples for `ln_1p` would fail if `(x + 1.0).ln()` is used instead of `x.ln_1p()`.
Add std::panic::panic_any.
The discussion of #67984 lead to the conclusion that there should be a macro or function separate from `std::panic!()` for throwing arbitrary payloads, to make it possible to deprecate or disallow (in edition 2021) `std::panic!(arbitrary_payload)`.
Alternative names:
- `panic_with!(..)`
- ~~`start_unwind(..)`~~ (panicking doesn't always unwind)
- `throw!(..)`
- `panic_throwing!(..)`
- `panic_with_value(..)`
- `panic_value(..)`
- `panic_with(..)`
- `panic_box(..)`
- `panic(..)`
The equivalent (private, unstable) function in `libstd` is called `std::panicking::begin_panic`.
I suggest `panic_any`, because it allows for any (`Any + Send`) type.

`movbe` seems to not be a run-time detectable feature on x86.
It has thus been removed from the list.
It was only commented out to ease comparison against the full list.
This PR both adds in-source documentation on what to look out for
when adding a new (X86) feature set and adds all that are detectable at run-time in Rust stable
as of 1.27.0.
This should only enable the use of the corresponding LLVM intrinsics.
Actual intrinsics need to be added separately in rust-lang/stdarch.
It also re-orders the run-time-detect test statements to be more consistent
with the actual list of intrinsics whitelisted and removes underscores not present
in the actual names (which might be mistaken as being part of the name)
replace `#[allow_internal_unstable]` with `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` for `const fn`s
`#[allow_internal_unstable]` is currently used to side-step feature gate and stability checks.
While it was originally only meant to be used only on macros, its use was expanded to `const fn`s.
This pr adds stricter checks for the usage of `#[allow_internal_unstable]` (only on macros) and introduces the `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` attribute for usage on `const fn`s.
This pr does not change any of the functionality associated with the use of `#[allow_internal_unstable]` on macros or the usage of `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` (instead of `#[allow_internal_unstable]`) on `const fn`s (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/69399#issuecomment-712911540).
Note: The check for `#[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable]` currently only validates that the attribute is used on a function, because I don't know how I would check if the function is a `const fn` at the place of the check. I therefore openend this as a 'draft pull request'.

revise Hermit's mutex interface to support the behaviour of StaticMutex
rust-lang/rust#77147 simplifies things by splitting this Mutex type into two types matching the two use cases: StaticMutex and MovableMutex. To support the new behavior of StaticMutex, we move part of the mutex implementation into libstd.
The interface to the OS changed. Consequently, I removed a few functions, which aren't longer needed.
According to [the bionic status page], `linkat` has only been available
since API level 21. Since Android is based on Linux and Linux's `link`
doesn't follow symlinks, just use `link` on Android.

Duration::ZERO composes better with match and various other things,

proposals for the sake of testing more API surface area and
improving legibility.
const keyword: brief paragraph on 'const fn'
`const fn` were mentioned in the title, but called "deterministic functions" which is not their main property (though at least currently it is a consequence of being const-evaluable). This adds a brief paragraph discussing them, also in the hopes of clarifying that they do *not* have any effect on run-time uses.
If pthread mutex initialization fails, the failure will go unnoticed unless
debug assertions are enabled. Any subsequent use of mutex will also silently
fail, since return values from lock & unlock operations are similarly checked
only through debug assertions.
In some implementations the mutex initialization requires a memory
allocation and so it does fail in practice.
Check that initialization succeeds to ensure that mutex guarantees
mutual exclusion.
Add std:🧵:available_concurrency
This PR adds a counterpart to [C++'s `std:🧵:hardware_concurrency`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency) to Rust, tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74479.
cc/ `@rust-lang/libs`
## Motivation
Being able to know how many hardware threads a platform supports is a core part of building multi-threaded code. In C++ 11 this has become available through the [`std:🧵:hardware_concurrency`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency) API. Currently in Rust most of the ecosystem depends on the [`num_cpus` crate](https://docs.rs/num_cpus/1.13.0/num_cpus/) ([no.35 in top 500 crates](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wwahRMHG3buvnfHjmPQFU4Kyfq15oTwbfsuZpwHUKc4/edit#gid=1253069234)) to provide this functionality. This PR proposes an API to provide access to the number of hardware threads available on a given platform.
__edit (2020-07-24):__ The purpose of this PR is to provide a hint for how many threads to spawn to saturate the processor. There's value in introducing APIs for NUMA and Windows processor groups, but those are intentionally out of scope for this PR. See: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74480#issuecomment-662116186.
## Naming
Discussing the naming of the API on Zulip surfaced two options:
- `std:🧵:hardware_concurrency`
- `std:🧵:hardware_threads`
Both options seemed acceptable, but overall people seem to gravitate the most towards `hardware_threads`. Additionally `@jonas-schievink` pointed out that the "hardware threads" terminology is well-established and is used in among other the [RISC-V specification](https://riscv.org/specifications/isa-spec-pdf/) (page 20):
> A component is termed a core if it contains an independent instruction fetch unit. A RISC-V-compatible core might support multiple RISC-V-compatible __hardware threads__, or harts, through multithreading.
It's also worth noting that [the original paper introducing C++'s `std::thread` submodule](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2320.html) unfortunately doesn't feature any discussion on the naming of `hardware_concurrency`, so we can't use that to help inform our decision here.
## Return type
An important consideration `@joshtriplett` brought up is that we don't want to default to `1` for platforms where the number of available threads cannot be retrieved. Instead we want to inform the users of the fact that we don't know and allow them to handle that case. Which is why this PR uses `Option<NonZeroUsize>` as its return type, where `None` is returned on platforms where we don't know the number of hardware threads available.
The reasoning for `NonZeroUsize` vs `usize` is that if the number of threads for a platform are known, they'll always be at least 1. As evidenced by the example the `NonZero*` family of APIs may currently not be the most ergonomic to use, but improving the ergonomics of them is something that I think we can address separately.
## Implementation
`@Mark-Simulacrum` pointed out that most of the code we wanted to expose here was already available under `libtest`. So this PR mostly moves the internal code of libtest into a public API.
Use posix_spawn() on unix if program is a path
Previously `Command::spawn` would fall back to the non-posix_spawn based
implementation if the `PATH` environment variable was possibly changed.
On systems with a modern (g)libc `posix_spawn()` can be significantly
faster. If program is a path itself the `PATH` environment variable is
not used for the lookup and it should be safe to use the
`posix_spawnp()` method. [1]
We found this, because we have a cli application that effectively runs a
lot of subprocesses. It would sometimes noticeably hang while printing
output. Profiling showed that the process was spending the majority of
time in the kernel's `copy_page_range` function while spawning
subprocesses. During this time the process is completely blocked from
running, explaining why users were reporting the cli app hanging.
Through this we discovered that `std::process::Command` has a fast and
slow path for process execution. The fast path is backed by
`posix_spawnp()` and the slow path by fork/exec syscalls being called
explicitly. Using fork for process creation is supposed to be fast, but
it slows down as your process uses more memory. It's not because the
kernel copies the actual memory from the parent, but it does need to
copy the references to it (see `copy_page_range` above!). We ended up
using the slow path, because the command spawn implementation in falls
back to the slow path if it suspects the PATH environment variable was
changed.
Here is a smallish program demonstrating the slowdown before this code
change:
```
use std::process::Command;
use std::time::Instant;
fn main() {
let mut args = std::env::args().skip(1);
if let Some(size) = args.next() {
// Allocate some memory
let _xs: Vec<_> = std::iter::repeat(0)
.take(size.parse().expect("valid number"))
.collect();
let mut command = Command::new("/bin/sh");
command
.arg("-c")
.arg("echo hello");
if args.next().is_some() {
println!("Overriding PATH");
command.env("PATH", std::env::var("PATH").expect("PATH env var"));
}
let now = Instant::now();
let child = command
.spawn()
.expect("failed to execute process");
println!("Spawn took: {:?}", now.elapsed());
let output = child.wait_with_output().expect("failed to wait on process");
println!("Output: {:?}", output);
} else {
eprintln!("Usage: prog [size]");
std::process::exit(1);
}
()
}
```
Running it and passing different amounts of elements to use to allocate
memory shows that the time taken for `spawn()` can differ quite
significantly. In latter case the `posix_spawnp()` implementation is 30x
faster:
```
$ cargo run --release 10000000
...
Spawn took: 324.275µs
hello
$ cargo run --release 10000000 changepath
...
Overriding PATH
Spawn took: 2.346809ms
hello
$ cargo run --release 100000000
...
Spawn took: 387.842µs
hello
$ cargo run --release 100000000 changepath
...
Overriding PATH
Spawn took: 13.434677ms

```

stabilize union with 'ManuallyDrop' fields and 'impl Drop for Union'
As [discussed by @SimonSapin and @withoutboats](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/55149#issuecomment-634692020), this PR proposes to stabilize parts of the `untagged_union` feature gate:
* It will be possible to have a union with field type `ManuallyDrop<T>` for any `T`.
* While at it I propose we also stabilize `impl Drop for Union`; to my knowledge, there are no open concerns around this feature.
In the RFC discussion, we also talked about allowing `&mut T` as another non-`Copy` non-dropping type, but that felt to me like an overly specific exception so I figured we'd wait if there is actually any use for such a special case.
Some things remain unstable and still require the `untagged_union` feature gate:
* Union with fields that do not drop, are not `Copy`, and are not `ManuallyDrop<_>`. The reason to not stabilize this is to avoid semver concerns around libraries adding `Drop` implementations later. (This is already not fully semver compatible as, to my knowledge, the borrow checker will exploit the non-dropping nature of any type, but it seems prudent to avoid further increasing the amount of trouble adding an `impl Drop` can cause.)
Due to this, quite a few tests still need the `untagged_union` feature, but I think the ones where I could remove the feature flag provide good test coverage for the stable part.

POSIX leaves it implementation-defined whether `link` follows symlinks.
In practice, for example, on Linux it does not and on FreeBSD it does.
So, switch to `linkat`, so that we can pick a behavior rather than
depending on OS defaults.
Pick the option to not follow symlinks. This is somewhat arbitrary, but
seems the less surprising choice because hard linking is a very
low-level feature which requires the source and destination to be on
the same mounted filesystem, and following a symbolic link could end
up in a different mounted filesystem.
Cleanup cloudabi mutexes and condvars
This gets rid of lots of unnecessary unsafety.
All the AtomicU32s were wrapped in UnsafeCell or UnsafeCell<MaybeUninit>, and raw pointers were used to get to the AtomicU32 inside. This change cleans that up by using AtomicU32 directly.
Also replaces a UnsafeCell<u32> by a safer Cell<u32>.

Static mutex is static
StaticMutex is only ever used with as a static (as the name already suggests). So it doesn't have to be generic over a lifetime, but can simply assume 'static.
This 'static lifetime guarantees the object is never moved, so this is no longer a manually checked requirement for unsafe calls to lock().

Use futex-based thread-parker for Wasm32.
This uses the existing `sys_common/thread_parker/futex.rs` futex-based thread parker (that was already used for Linux) for wasm32 as well (if the wasm32 atomics target feature is enabled, which is not the case by default).
Wasm32 provides the basic futex operations as instructions: https://webassembly.github.io/threads/syntax/instructions.html
These are now exposed from `sys::futex::{futex_wait, futex_wake}`, just like on Linux. So, `thread_parker/futex.rs` stays completely unmodified.
Refactor io/buffered.rs into submodules
This pull request splits `BufWriter`, `BufReader`, `LineWriter`, and `LineWriterShim` (along with their associated tests) into separate submodules. It contains no functional changes. This change is being made in anticipation of adding another type of buffered writer which can be switched between line- and block-buffering mode.
Part of a series of pull requests resolving #60673.
StaticMutex is only ever used with as a static (as the name already
suggests). So it doesn't have to be generic over a lifetime, but can

This 'static lifetime guarantees the object is never moved, so this is

The comment said it's UB to call lock() while it is locked. That'd be
quite a useless Mutex. :) It was supposed to say 'locked by the same
thread', not just 'locked'.

Avoid SeqCst or static mut in mach_timebase_info and QueryPerformanceFrequency caches
This patch went through a couple iterations but the end result is replacing a pattern where an `AtomicUsize` (updated with many SeqCst ops) guards a `static mut` with a single `AtomicU64` that is known to use 0 as a value indicating that it is not initialized.
The code in both places exists to cache values used in the conversion of Instants to Durations on macOS, iOS, and Windows.
I have no numbers to prove that this improves performance (It seems a little futile to benchmark something like this), but it's much simpler, safer, and in practice we'd expect it to be faster everywhere where Relaxed operations on AtomicU64 are cheaper than SeqCst operations on AtomicUsize, which is a lot of places.
Anyway, it also removes a bunch of unsafe code and greatly simplifies the logic, so IMO that alone would be worth it unless it was a regression.
If you want to take a look at the assembly output though, see https://godbolt.org/z/rbr6vn for x86_64, https://godbolt.org/z/cqcbqv for aarch64 (Note that this just the output of the mac side, but i'd expect the windows part to be the same and don't feel like doing another godbolt for it). There are several versions of this function in the godbolt:
- `info_new`: version in the current patch
- `info_less_new`: version in initial PR
- `info_original`: version currently in the tree
- `info_orig_but_better_orderings`: a version that just tries to change the original code's orderings from SeqCst to the (probably) minimal orderings required for soundness/correctness.
The biggest concern I have here is if we can use AtomicU64, or if there are targets that dont have it that this code supports. AFAICT: no. (If that changes in the future, it's easy enough to do something different for them)
r? `@Amanieu` because he caught a couple issues last time I tried to do a patch reducing orderings 😅
---
<details>
<summary>I rewrote this whole message so the original is inside here</summary>
I happened to notice the code we use for caching the result of mach_timebase_info uses SeqCst exclusively.
However, thinking a little more, it's actually pretty easy to avoid the static mut by packing the timebase info into an AtomicU64.
This entirely avoids needing to do the compare_exchange. The AtomicU64 can be read/written using Relaxed ops, which on current macos/ios platforms (x86_64/aarch64) have no overhead compared to direct loads/stores. This simplifies the code and makes it a lot safer too.
I have no numbers to prove that this improves performance (It seems a little futile to benchmark something like this), although it should do that on both targets it applies to.
That said, it also removes a bunch of unsafe code and simplifies the logic (arguably at least — there are only two states now, initialized or not), so I think it's a net win even without concrete numbers.
If you want to take a look at the assembly output though, see below. It has the new version, the original, and a version of the original with lower Orderings (which is still worse than the version in this PR)
- godbolt.org/z/obfqf9 x86_64-apple-darwin
- godbolt.org/z/Wz5cWc aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu (godbolt can't do aarch64-apple-ios but that doesn't matter here)
A different (and more efficient) option than this would be to just use the AtomicU64 and use the knowledge that after initialization the denominator should be nonzero... That felt like it's relying on too many things I'm not confident in, so I didn't want to do that.

Link to documentation-specific guidelines.
Changed contribution information URL because it's not obvious how to get from the current URL to the documentation-specific content.
The current URL points to this "Getting Started" page, which contains nothing specific about documentation[*] and instead launches into how to *build* `rustc` which is not a strict prerequisite for contributing documentation fixes:
* https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html
[*] The most specific content is a "Writing documentation" bullet point which is not itself a link to anything (I guess a patch for that might be helpful too).
### Why?
Making this change will make it easier for people who wish to make small "drive by" documentation fixes (and read contribution guidelines ;) ) which I find are often how I start contributing to a project. (Exhibit A: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77050 :) )
### Background
My impression is the change of content linked is an unintentional change due to a couple of other changes:
* Originally, the link pointed to `contributing.md` which started with a "table of contents" linking to each section. But the content in `contributing.md` was removed and replaced with a link to the "Getting Started" section here:
* 3f6928f1f6 (diff-6a3371457528722a734f3c51d9238c13L1)
But the changed link doesn't actually point to the equivalent content, which is now located here:
* https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/contributing.html
(If the "Guide to Rustc Development" is now considered the canonical location of "How to Contribute" content it might be a good idea to merge some of the "Contributing" Introduction section into the "Getting Started" section.)
* This was then compounded by changing the link from `contributing.md` to `contributing.html` here:
* https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74037/files#diff-242481015141f373dcb178e93cffa850L88
In order to even find the new location of the previous `contributing.md` content I ended up needing to do a GitHub search of the `rust-lang` org for the phrase "Documentation improvements are very welcome". :D
Fix error checking in posix_spawn implementation of Command
* Check for errors returned from posix_spawn*_init functions
* Check for non-zero return value from posix_spawn functions
A few architectures in `os::linux::raw` import `libc::stat`, rather than
defining that type directly. However, that also imports the _function_
called `stat`, which makes this doc link ambiguous:
error: `crate::os::linux::raw::stat` is both a struct and a function
--> library/std/src/os/linux/fs.rs:21:19
|
21 | /// [`stat`]: crate::os::linux::raw::stat
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ambiguous link
|
= note: `-D broken-intra-doc-links` implied by `-D warnings`
help: to link to the struct, prefix with the item type
|
21 | /// [`stat`]: struct@crate::os::linux::raw::stat
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
help: to link to the function, add parentheses
|
21 | /// [`stat`]: crate::os::linux::raw::stat()
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We want the `struct`, so it's now prefixed accordingly.
`DirEntry` contains a `ReadDir` handle, which used to just be a wrapper
on `Arc<InnerReadDir>`. Commit af75314ecd added `end_of_stream: bool`
which is not needed by `DirEntry`, but adds 8 bytes after padding. We
can let `DirEntry` have an `Arc<InnerReadDir>` directly to avoid that.
The posix_spawnattr_init & posix_spawn_file_actions_init might fail,
but their return code is not checked.
Check for non-zero return code and destroy only succesfully initialized
objects.
The cvt function compares the argument with -1 and when equal returns a new
io::Error constructed from errno. It is used together posix_spawn_* functions.
This is incorrect. Those functions do not set errno. Instead they return
non-zero error code directly.
Check for non-zero return code and use it to construct a new io::Error.
(docs): make mutex error comment consistent with codebase
Although exceptionally minor, I found this stands out from other error reporting language used in doc comments. With the existence of the `failure` crate, I suppose this could be slightly ambiguous. In any case, this change brings the particular comment into a consistent state with other mentions of returning errors.
Support static linking with glibc and target-feature=+crt-static
With this change, it's possible to build on a linux-gnu target and pass
RUSTFLAGS='-C target-feature=+crt-static' or the equivalent via a
`.cargo/config.toml` file, and get a statically linked executable.
Update to libc 0.2.78, which adds support for static linking with glibc.
Add `crt_static_respected` to the `linux_base` target spec.
Update `android_base` and `linux_musl_base` accordingly. Avoid enabling
crt_static_respected on Android platforms, since that hasn't been
tested.
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65447.
