In commit d7f5e43 "core::rt: Add the local heap to newsched tasks",
local_malloc and local_free have become rather big and their forced
inlining causes quite a bit of code bloat. Compile times for crates
affected by the bloat (e.g. rustc) improve, while others (e.g. libstd)
seem to be unaffected, so I guess the inlining doesn't gain us much.
Sizes:
| librustc | libsytax
---------------|–-----------|------------
with inlining | 18,547,824 | 7,110,848
w/o inlining | 15,092,040 | 5,518,608
I just had `git apply` fix most of them and then did a quick skim over the diff to fix a few cases where it did the wrong thing (mostly replacing tabs with 4 spaces, when someone's editor had them at 8 spaces).
In rustpkg, pass around sysroot; in rustpkg tests, set the sysroot
manually so that tests can find libcore and such.
With bonus metadata::filesearch refactoring to avoid copies.
The install command should work now, though it only installs
in-place (anything else has to wait until I implement RUST_PATH).
Also including:
core: Add remove_directory_recursive, change copy_file
Make copy_file preserve permissions, and add a remove_directory_recursive
function.
This is an attempt to address Issue #3326 by adding [*order-only*][1]
prerequsites of each build product on the directory where it is to go.
It is important that the prerequisites be order-only, since the
timestamp on a parent directory is not relevant to whether a product
is out of date; the parent directory merely needs to exist.
(This use case of generating target directories was provided as an
[example][2] of how order-only prequisites are used.)

Sorry this is so big, and sorry the first commit is just titled 'wip'.
Some interesting bits
* [LocalServices](f9069baa70) - This is the set of runtime capabilities that *all* Rust code should expect access to, including the local heap, GC, logging, unwinding.
* [impl Reader, etc. for Option](5fbb0949a5) - Constructors like `File::open` return Option<FileStream>. This lets you write I/O code without ever unwrapping an option.
This series adds a lot of [documentation](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io/src/libcore/rt/io/mod.rs#L11) to `core::rt::io`.
