This has been put in place to patch over an ICE caused when we encounter
a non-static lifetime in a const generic during borrow checking. This
restriction may be relaxed in the future, but we need more discussion
before then, and in the meantime we should still deal with this ICE.

ci: Update dist-{i686,x86_64}-linux to Debian 6
This increases the minimum `{i686,x86_64}-unknown-linux-gnu` platform
from RHEL/CentOS 5 (glibc 2.5 and kernel 2.6.18) to a slightly newer
Debian 6 `squeeze` (glibc 2.11 and kernel 2.6.32). While that release is
already EOL, it happens to match the minimum common versions of two
enterprise distros that do still need Rust support -- RHEL 6 (glibc 2.12
and kernel 2.6.32) and SLES 11 SP4 (glibc 2.11 and kernel 3.0).
Closes#62516.
Generating the coverage map
@tmandry @wesleywiser
rustc now generates the coverage map and can support (limited)
coverage report generation, at the function level.
Example commands to generate a coverage report:
```shell

$ $BUILD/stage1/bin/rustc -Zinstrument-coverage \
$HOME/rust/src/test/run-make-fulldeps/instrument-coverage/main.rs
$ LLVM_PROFILE_FILE="main.profraw" ./main

rustc_metadata: Make crate loading fully speculative
Instead of reporting `span_err`s on the spot crate loading errors are now wrapped into the `CrateError` enum and returned, so they are reported only at the top level `resolve_crate` call, and not reported at all if we are resolving speculatively with `maybe_resolve_crate`.
As a result we can attempt loading crates for error recovery (e.g. import suggestions) without any risk of producing extra errors.
Also, this means better separation between error reporting and actual logic.

impl Index<RangeFrom> for CStr
This change implements (partial) slicing for `CStr`.
Since a `CStr` must end in a null byte, it's not possible to trim from the right and still have a valid `CStr`. But, it *is* possible to trim from the left. This lets us be a bit more flexible and treat them more like strings.
```rust
let string = CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(b"Hello World!\0");
let result = CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(b"World!\0");
assert_eq!(&string[6..], result);
```

Add core::task::ready! macro
This PR adds `ready!` as a top-level macro to `libcore` following the implementation of `futures_core::ready`, tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70922. This macro is commonly used when implementing `Future`, `AsyncRead`, `AsyncWrite` and `Stream`. And being only 5 lines, it seems like a useful and straight forward addition to std.
## Example
```rust
use core::task::{Context, Poll};
use core::future::Future;
use core::pin::Pin;
async fn get_num() -> usize {
42
}
pub fn do_poll(cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<()> {
let mut f = get_num();
let f = unsafe { Pin::new_unchecked(&mut f) };
let num = ready!(f.poll(cx));
// ... use num
Poll::Ready(())
}
```
## Naming
In `async-std` we chose to nest the macro under the `task` module instead of having the macro at the top-level. This is a pattern that currently does not occur in std, mostly due to this not being possible prior to Rust 2018.
This PR proposes to add the `ready` macro as `core::ready`. But another option would be to introduce it as `core::task::ready` since it's really only useful when used in conjunction with `task::{Context, Poll}`.
## Implementation questions
I tried rendering the documentation locally but the macro didn't show up under `core`. I'm not sure if I quite got this right. I used the [`todo!` macro PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/56348/files) as a reference, and our approaches look similar.

std: Switch from libbacktrace to gimli
This commit is a proof-of-concept for switching the standard library's
backtrace symbolication mechanism on most platforms from libbacktrace to
gimli. The standard library's support for `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` requires
in-process parsing of object files and DWARF debug information to
interpret it and print the filename/line number of stack frames as part
of a backtrace.
Historically this support in the standard library has come from a
library called "libbacktrace". The libbacktrace library seems to have
been extracted from gcc at some point and is written in C. We've had a
lot of issues with libbacktrace over time, unfortunately, though. The
library does not appear to be actively maintained since we've had
patches sit for months-to-years without comments. We have discovered a
good number of soundness issues with the library itself, both when
parsing valid DWARF as well as invalid DWARF. This is enough of an issue
that the libs team has previously decided that we cannot feed untrusted
inputs to libbacktrace. This also doesn't take into account the
portability of libbacktrace which has been difficult to manage and
maintain over time. While possible there are lots of exceptions and it's
the main C dependency of the standard library right now.
For years it's been the desire to switch over to a Rust-based solution
for symbolicating backtraces. It's been assumed that we'll be using the
Gimli family of crates for this purpose, which are targeted at safely
and efficiently parsing DWARF debug information. I've been working
recently to shore up the Gimli support in the `backtrace` crate. As of a
few weeks ago the `backtrace` crate, by default, uses Gimli when loaded
from crates.io. This transition has gone well enough that I figured it
was time to start talking seriously about this change to the standard
library.
This commit is a preview of what's probably the best way to integrate
the `backtrace` crate into the standard library with the Gimli feature
turned on. While today it's used as a crates.io dependency, this commit
switches the `backtrace` crate to a submodule of this repository which
will need to be updated manually. This is not done lightly, but is
thought to be the best solution. The primary reason for this is that the
`backtrace` crate needs to do some pretty nontrivial filesystem
interactions to locate debug information. Working without `std::fs` is
not an option, and while it might be possible to do some sort of
trait-based solution when prototyped it was found to be too unergonomic.
Using a submodule allows the `backtrace` crate to build as a submodule
of the `std` crate itself, enabling it to use `std::fs` and such.
Otherwise this adds new dependencies to the standard library. This step
requires extra attention because this means that these crates are now
going to be included with all Rust programs by default. It's important
to note, however, that we're already shipping libbacktrace with all Rust
programs by default and it has a bunch of C code implementing all of
this internally anyway, so we're basically already switching
already-shipping functionality to Rust from C.
* `object` - this crate is used to parse object file headers and
contents. Very low-level support is used from this crate and almost
all of it is disabled. Largely we're just using struct definitions as
well as convenience methods internally to read bytes and such.
* `addr2line` - this is the main meat of the implementation for
symbolication. This crate depends on `gimli` for DWARF parsing and
then provides interfaces needed by the `backtrace` crate to turn an
address into a filename / line number. This crate is actually pretty
small (fits in a single file almost!) and mirrors most of what
`dwarf.c` does for libbacktrace.
* `miniz_oxide` - the libbacktrace crate transparently handles
compressed debug information which is compressed with zlib. This crate
is used to decompress compressed debug sections.
* `gimli` - not actually used directly, but a dependency of `addr2line`.
* `adler32`- not used directly either, but a dependency of
`miniz_oxide`.
The goal of this change is to improve the safety of backtrace
symbolication in the standard library, especially in the face of
possibly malformed DWARF debug information. Even to this day we're still
seeing segfaults in libbacktrace which could possibly become security
vulnerabilities. This change should almost entirely eliminate this
possibility whilc also paving the way forward to adding more features
like split debug information.

* Original addition of libbacktrace - #12602
* OOM with libbacktrace - #24231
* Backtrace failure due to use of uninitialized value - #28447

need to carry - #50955
* Libbacktrace doesn't work on MinGW with dynamic libs - #71060
* Segfault in libbacktrace on macOS - #71397
Switching to Rust will not make us immune to all of these issues. The
crashes are expected to go away, but correctness and performance may
still have bugs arise. The gimli and `backtrace` crates, however, are
actively maintained unlike libbacktrace, so this should enable us to at
least efficiently apply fixes as situations come up.
---
I want to note that my purpose for creating a PR here is to start a conversation about this. I think that all the various pieces are in place that this is compelling enough that I think this transition should be talked about seriously. There are a number of items which still need to be addressed before actually merging this PR, however:
* [ ] `gimli` needs to be published to crates.io
* [ ] `addr2line` needs a publish
* [ ] `miniz_oxide` needs a publish
* [ ] Tests probably shouldn't recommend the `gimli` crate's traits for implementing
* [ ] The `backtrace` crate's branch changes need to be merged to the master branch (https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/pull/349)
* [ ] The support for `libbacktrace` on some platforms needs to be audited to see if we should support more strategies in the gimli implementation - https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/325, https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/326, https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/350, https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/351
Most of the merging/publishing I'm not actively pushing on right now. It's a bit wonky for crates to support libstd so I'm holding off on pulling the trigger everywhere until there's a bit more discussion about how to go through with this. Namely https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/pull/349 I'm going to hold off merging until we decide to go through with the submodule strategy.
In any case this is a pretty major change, so I suspect that the compiler team is likely going to be interested in this. I don't mean to force changes by dumping a bunch of code by any means. Integration of external crates into the standard library is so difficult I wanted to have a proof-of-concept to review while talking about whether to do this at all (hence the PR), but I'm more than happy to follow any processes needed to merge this. I must admit though that I'm not entirely sure myself at this time what the process would be to decide to merge this, so I'm hoping others can help me figure that out!
Use pathdiff crate
I wanted to tackle a simple issue, and stumbled upon #67108: this pr removes the function which was exported to the external crate as required in the todo/issue.

Use intra-doc links in `str` and `BTreeSet`
Fixes#32129, fixes #32130
A _slight_ degradation in quality is that the `#method.foo` links would previously link to the same page on `String`'s documentation, and now they will navigate to `str`. Not a big deal IMO, and we can also try to improve that.
Fix `Safety` docs for `from_raw_parts_mut`
This aligns the wording more with the documentation of e.g. `drop_in_place`, `replace`, `swap` and `swap_nonoverlapping` from `core::ptr`.
Also if the pointer were really only valid for writes, it would be trivial to introduce UB from safe code, after calling `core::slice::from_raw_parts_mut`.

bootstrap.py: patch RPATH on NixOS to handle the new zlib dependency.
This is a stop-gap until #74420 is resolved (assuming we'll patch beta to statically link zlib).
However, I've been meaning to rewrite the NixOS support we have in `bootstrap.py` for a while now, and had to in order to cleanly add zlib as a dependency (the second commit is a relatively small delta in functionality, compared to the first).
Previously, we would extract the `ld-linux.so` path from the output of `ldd /run/current-system/sw/bin/sh`, which assumes a lot. On top of that we didn't use any symlinks, which meant if the user ran GC (`nix-collect-garbage`), e.g. after updating their system, their `stage0` binaries would suddenly be broken (i.e. referring to files that no longer exist).
We were also using `patchelf` directly, assuming it can be found in `$PATH` (which is not necessarily true).
My new approach relies on using `nix-build` to get the following "derivations" (packages, more or less):
* `stdenv.cc.bintools`, which has a `nix-support/dynamic-linker` file containing the path to `ld-linux.so`
* reading this file is [the canonical way to run `patchelf --set-interpreter`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/search?l=Nix&q=%22--set-interpreter+%24%28cat+%24NIX_CC%2Fnix-support%2Fdynamic-linker%29%22)
* `patchelf` (so that the user doesn't need to have it installed)
* `zlib`, for the `libz.so` dependency of `libLLVM-*.so` (until #74420 is resolved, presumably)
This is closer to how software is built on Nix, but I've tried to keep it as simple as possible (and not add e.g. a `stage0.nix` file).
Symlinks to each of those dependencies are kept in `stage0/.nix-deps`, which prevents GC from invalidating `stage0` binaries.

ci: Set `shell: bash` as a default, remove duplicates
A follow-up to #74406, this commit merely removes the `shell: bash` lines where they were added in favor of setting defaults for *all* "run" steps in the jobs that run the tests.
The changes in #74406 were needed because of an upstream change to the `windows-2019` GitHub Actions image. Previously, the configuration worked fine without specifying `shell: bash`, but for some reason this broke with a new change that was deployed today. The preceding PR was a hotfix to get CI passing, but there was a slightly less duplicative way to specify the default shell for the jobs, which was to set the `defaults.run` option.
This change applies to the `pr`, `try`, `auto`, and `auto-fallible` jobs, which are derived from the YAML-anchor `base-ci-job`. I did not apply these changes to the `master`, `try-success`, `try-failure`, `auto-success`, or `auto-failure` jobs because they have only a few steps.

Add lazy initialization primitives to std
Follow-up to #68198
Current RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2788
Rebased and fixed up a few of the dangling comments. Some notes carried over from the previous PR:
- [ ] Naming. I'm ok to just roll with the `Sync` prefix like `SyncLazy` for now, but [have a personal preference for `Atomic`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2788#issuecomment-574466983) like `AtomicLazy`.
- [x] [Poisoning](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2788#discussion_r366725768). It seems like there's [some regret around poisoning in other `std::sync` types that we might want to just avoid upfront for `std::lazy`, especially if that would align with a future `std::mutex` that doesn't poison](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/parking_lot.3A.3AMutex.20in.20std/near/190331199). Personally, if we're adding these types to `std::lazy` instead of `std::sync`, I'd be on-board with not worrying about poisoning in `std::lazy`, and potentially deprecating `std::sync::Once` and `lazy_static` in favour of `std::lazy` down the track if it's possible, rather than attempting to replicate their behavior. cc @Amanieu @sfackler.
- [ ] [Consider making`SyncOnceCell::get` blocking](https://github.com/matklad/once_cell/pull/92). There doesn't seem to be consensus in the linked PR on whether or not that's strictly better than the non-blocking variant.
In general, none of these seem to be really blocking an initial unstable merge, so we could possibly kick off a FCP if y'all are happy?
cc @matklad @pitdicker have I missed anything, or were there any other considerations that have come up since we last looked at this?
