cc #6004 and #3273
This is a rewrite of TLS to get towards not requiring `@` when using task local storage. Most of the rewrite is straightforward, although there are two caveats:
1. Changing `local_set` to not require `@` is blocked on #7673
2. The code in `local_pop` is some of the most unsafe code I've written. A second set of eyes should definitely scrutinize it...
The public-facing interface currently hasn't changed, although it will have to change because `local_data::get` cannot return `Option<T>`, nor can it return `Option<&T>` (the lifetime isn't known). This will have to be changed to be given a closure which yield `&T` (or as an Option). I didn't do this part of the api rewrite in this pull request as I figured that it could wait until when `@` is fully removed.
This also doesn't deal with the issue of using something other than functions as keys, but I'm looking into using static slices (as mentioned in the issues).

Sorry this is so huge, but it's been accumulating for about a month. There's lots of stuff here, mostly oriented toward enabling multithreaded scheduling and improving compatibility between the old and new runtimes. Adds task pinning so that we can create the 'platform thread' in servo.
[Here](e1555f9b56/src/libstd/rt/mod.rs (L201)) is the current runtime setup code.
About half of this has already been reviewed.
* stop using an atomic counter, this has a significant cost and
valgrind will already catch these leaks
* remove the extra layer of function calls
* remove the assert of non-null in free, freeing null is well defined
but throwing a failure from free will not be
* stop initializing the `prev`/`next` pointers
* abort on out-of-memory, failing won't necessarily work
This avoids the following pathological scenario that makes threadring OOM:
1) task calls C using fast_ffi, borrowing a big stack from the scheduler.
2) task returns from C and places the big stack on the task-local stack segment list
3) task calls further Rust functions that require growing the stack, and for this reuses the big stack
4) task yields, failing to return the big stack to the scheduler.
5) repeat 500+ times and OOM

This sets the `get_tydesc()` return type correctly and removes the intrinsic module. See #3730, #3475.
Update: this now also removes the unused shape fields in tydescs.
Under valgrind on 64->32 cross compiles the dynamic linker is emitting
some error messages on stderr, which interferes with the tests that
are checking stderr.
This commit fixes#7022 - I've added an additional check to ensure that
stk is not null before dereferencing it to get it's next element,
assigning NULL if it is itself NULL.

The calculation looks right to me, but perhaps one of you two can double check. You two seem like you are doing the most recent work in this sort of area.
Fix for #6575. In the trans phase, rustc emits code for a function parameter that goes completely unused in the event the return type of the function in question happens to be an immediate.
This patch modifies rustc & parts of rustrt to ensure that the vestigial parameter is no longer present in compiled code.

This is all of my scheduler work on #4419 from the last 3 weeks or so. I've had a few failed pull requests so far but I think the problems are ironed out.
* TCP
* The beginnings of runtime embedding APIs
* Porting various corners of core to be compatible with both schedulers
* libuv timer bindings
* Further refinement of I/O error handling, including a new, incomplete, `read_error` condition
* Incomplete refactoring to make tasks work without coroutines and user-space scheduling
* Implementations of Reader/Writer extension methods
* Implementations of the most important part of core::comm
I'm particularly happy with how easy the [comm types on top of the scheduler](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io-upstream/src/libcore/rt/comm.rs). Note that these implementations do not use pipes. If anything here needs careful review though it's this code.
This branch passes 95% of the run-pass tests (with `TESTARGS=--newrt`)
In the next week I'll probably spend some time adding preliminary multithreading and seeing how close we are to removing the old runtime.
It uses the private field of TCB head to store stack limit. I tested on my Raspberry PI. A simple hello world program ran without any problem. However, for a more complex program, it segfaulted as #6231.
I changed ```RED_ZONE_SIZE``` to ```RZ_MAC_32``` because of stack canary failure.
Here is a LLVM patch for MIPS segmented stacks.

Hi there,
Really enjoying Rust. Noticed a few typos so I searched around for a few more--here's some fixes.
Ran `make check` and got `summary of 24 test runs: 4868 passed; 0 failed; 330 ignored`.
Thanks!

transitional patch to resolve compile/link failure on android
after #6161 landed, I've encountered below errors since android does not support glob in libc.

Since android does not have `glob.h`, `glob_t` definition comes from
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-ndk/vSH6MWPD0Vk#6100 should be resolved.
