Stabilize `const_raw_ptr_deref` for `*const T`
This stabilizes dereferencing immutable raw pointers in const contexts.
It does not stabilize `*mut T` dereferencing. This is behind the
same feature gate as mutable references.

pub use core::simd;
A portable abstraction over SIMD has been a major pursuit in recent years for several programming languages. In Rust, `std::arch` offers explicit SIMD acceleration via compiler intrinsics, but it does so at the cost of having to individually maintain each and every single such API, and is almost completely `unsafe` to use. `core::simd` offers safe abstractions that are resolved to the appropriate SIMD instructions by LLVM during compilation, including scalar instructions if that is all that is available.
`core::simd` is enabled by the `#![portable_simd]` nightly feature tracked in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86656 and is introduced here by pulling in the https://github.com/rust-lang/portable-simd repository as a subtree. We built the repository out-of-tree to allow faster compilation and a stochastic test suite backed by the proptest crate to verify that different targets, features, and optimizations produce the same result, so that using this library does not introduce any surprises. As these tests are technically non-deterministic, and thus can introduce overly interesting Heisenbugs if included in the rustc CI, they are visible in the commit history of the subtree but do nothing here. Some tests **are** introduced via the documentation, but these use deterministic asserts.
There are multiple unsolved problems with the library at the current moment, including a want for better documentation, technical issues with LLVM scalarizing and lowering to libm, room for improvement for the APIs, and so far I have not added the necessary plumbing for allowing the more experimental or libm-dependent APIs to be used. However, I thought it would be prudent to open this for review in its current condition, as it is both usable and it is likely I am going to learn something else needs to be fixed when bors tries this out.
The major types are
- `core::simd::Simd<T, N>`
- `core::simd::Mask<T, N>`
There is also the `LaneCount` struct, which, together with the SimdElement and SupportedLaneCount traits, limit the implementation's maximum support to vectors we know will actually compile and provide supporting logic for bitmasks. I'm hoping to simplify at least some of these out of the way as the compiler and library evolve.
This enables programmers to use a safe alternative to the current
`extern "platform-intrinsics"` API for writing portable SIMD code.
This is `#![feature(portable_simd)]` as tracked in #86656

I felt this was the best place to put this (rather than next to
ExitStatusExt). After all, it's a property of the ExitStatus type on
Unix.

exit is (conventionally) a library function, with _exit being the
actual system call.
I have checked the other references and they say "if the process
terminated by calling `exti`". I think despite the slight
imprecision (strictly, it should read iff ... `_exit`), this is
clearer. Anyone who knows about the distinction between `exit` and
`_exit` will not be confused.
`_exit` is the correct traditional name for the system call, despite
Linux calling it `exit_group` or `exit`:

Fix assertion failures in `OwnedHandle` with `windows_subsystem`.
As discussed in #88576, raw handle values in Windows can be null, such
as in `windows_subsystem` mode, or when consoles are detached from a
process. So, don't use `NonNull` to hold them, don't assert that they're
not null, and remove `OwnedHandle`'s `repr(transparent)`. Introduce a
new `HandleOrNull` type, similar to `HandleOrInvalid`, to cover the FFI
use case.

Only use `clone3` when needed for pidfd
In #89522 we learned that `clone3` is interacting poorly with Gentoo's
`sandbox` tool. We only need that for the unstable pidfd extensions, so
otherwise avoid that and use a normal `fork`.
This is a re-application of beta #89924, now that we're aware that we need
more than just a temporary release fix. I also reverted 12fbabd27f, as
that was just fallout from using `clone3` instead of `fork`.

Hashing does not have to use the whole Components parsing machinery because we only need it to match the
normalizations that Components does.
* stripping redundant separators -> skipping separators
* stripping redundant '.' directories -> skipping '.' following after a separator
That's all it takes.
And instead of hashing individual slices for each component we feed the bytes directly into the hasher which avoids
hashing the length of each component in addition to its contents.
Make `std:🧵:available_concurrency` support process-limited number of CPUs
Use `libc::sched_getaffinity` and count the number of CPUs in the returned mask. This handles cases where the process doesn't have access to all CPUs, such as when limited via `taskset` or similar.
This also covers cgroup cpusets.
This stabilizes dereferencing immutable raw pointers in const contexts.
It does not stabilize `*mut T` dereferencing. This is placed behind the
`const_raw_mut_ptr_deref` feature gate.
In #89522 we learned that `clone3` is interacting poorly with Gentoo's
`sandbox` tool. We only need that for the unstable pidfd extensions, so
otherwise avoid that and use a normal `fork`.
Replace `std::os::raw::c_ssize_t` with `std::os::raw::c_ptrdiff_t`
The discussions in #88345 brought up that `ssize_t` is not actually the signed index type defined in stddef.h, but instead it's `ptrdiff_t`. It seems pretty clear that the use of `ssize_t` here was a mistake on my part, and that if we're going to bother having a isize-alike for FFI in `std::os::raw`, it should be `ptrdiff_t` and not `ssize_t`.
Anyway, both this and `c_size_t` are dubious in the face of the discussion in https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-usize-is-not-size-t/15369, and any RFC/project-group/etc that handles those issues there should contend with these types in some manner, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't fix something wrong like this, even if it is unstable.
All that said, `size_t` is *vastly* more common in function signatures than either `ssize_t` or `ptrdiff_t`, so I'm going to update the tracking issue's list of unresolved questions to note that perhaps we only want `c_size_t` — I mostly added the signed version for symmetry, rather than to meet a need. (Given this, I'm also fine with modifying this patch to instead remove `c_ssize_t` without a replacement)

Windows thread-local keyless drop
`#[thread_local]` allows us to maintain a per-thread list of destructors. This also avoids the need to synchronize global data (which is particularly tricky within the TLS callback function).
r? `@alexcrichton`
Add JoinHandle::is_running.
This adds:
```rust
impl<T> JoinHandle<T> {
/// Checks if the the associated thread is still running its main function.
///
/// This might return `false` for a brief moment after the thread's main
/// function has returned, but before the thread itself has stopped running.
pub fn is_running(&self) -> bool;
}
```
The usual way to check if a background thread is still running is to set some atomic flag at the end of its main function. We already do that, in the form of dropping an Arc which will reduce the reference counter. So we might as well expose that information.
This is useful in applications with a main loop (e.g. a game, gui, control system, ..) where you spawn some background task, and check every frame/iteration whether the background task is finished to .join() it in that frame/iteration while keeping the program responsive.
`#[thread_local]` allows us to maintain a per-thread list of destructors. This also avoids the need to synchronize global data (which is particularly tricky within the TLS callback function).
Add #[must_use] to remaining std functions (O-Z)
I've run out of compelling reasons to group functions together across crates so I'm just going to go module-by-module. This is half of the remaining items from the `std` crate, from O-Z.
`panicking::take_hook` has a side effect: it unregisters the current panic hook, returning it. I almost ignored it, but the documentation example shows `let _ = panic::take_hook();`, so following suit I went ahead and added a `#[must_use]`.
```rust
std::panicking fn take_hook() -> Box<dyn Fn(&PanicInfo<'_>) + 'static + Sync + Send>;
```
I added these functions that clippy did not flag:
```rust
std::path::Path fn starts_with<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, base: P) -> bool;
std::path::Path fn ends_with<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, child: P) -> bool;
std::path::Path fn with_file_name<S: AsRef<OsStr>>(&self, file_name: S) -> PathBuf;
std::path::Path fn with_extension<S: AsRef<OsStr>>(&self, extension: S) -> PathBuf;
```

Add #[must_use] to expensive computations
The unifying theme for this commit is weak, admittedly. I put together a list of "expensive" functions when I originally proposed this whole effort, but nobody's cared about that criterion. Still, it's a decent way to bite off a not-too-big chunk of work.
Given the grab bag nature of this commit, the messages I used vary quite a bit. I'm open to wording changes.
For some reason clippy flagged four `BTreeSet` methods but didn't say boo about equivalent ones on `HashSet`. I stared at them for a while but I can't figure out the difference so I added the `HashSet` ones in.
```rust
// Flagged by clippy.
alloc::collections::btree_set::BTreeSet<T> fn difference<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a BTreeSet<T>) -> Difference<'a, T>;
alloc::collections::btree_set::BTreeSet<T> fn symmetric_difference<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a BTreeSet<T>) -> SymmetricDifference<'a, T>
alloc::collections::btree_set::BTreeSet<T> fn intersection<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a BTreeSet<T>) -> Intersection<'a, T>;
alloc::collections::btree_set::BTreeSet<T> fn union<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a BTreeSet<T>) -> Union<'a, T>;
// Ignored by clippy, but not by me.
std::collections::HashSet<T, S> fn difference<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a HashSet<T, S>) -> Difference<'a, T, S>;
std::collections::HashSet<T, S> fn symmetric_difference<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a HashSet<T, S>) -> SymmetricDifference<'a, T, S>
std::collections::HashSet<T, S> fn intersection<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a HashSet<T, S>) -> Intersection<'a, T, S>;
std::collections::HashSet<T, S> fn union<'a>(&'a self, other: &'a HashSet<T, S>) -> Union<'a, T, S>;
