These functions are all unnecessary now, and they only have meaning in the M:N
context. Removing these functions uncovered a bug in the librustuv timer
bindings, but it was fairly easy to cover (and the test is already committed).
These cannot be completely removed just yet due to their usage in the WaitQueue
of extra::sync, and until the mutex in libextra is rewritten it will not be
possible to remove the deferred sends for channels.
This extracts everything related to green scheduling from libstd and introduces
a new libgreen crate. This mostly involves deleting most of std::rt and moving
it to libgreen.
Along with the movement of code, this commit rearchitects many functions in the
scheduler in order to adapt to the fact that Local::take now *only* works on a
Task, not a scheduler. This mostly just involved threading the current green
task through in a few locations, but there were one or two spots where things
got hairy.
There are a few repercussions of this commit:
* tube/rc have been removed (the runtime implementation of rc)
* There is no longer a "single threaded" spawning mode for tasks. This is now
encompassed by 1:1 scheduling + communication. Convenience methods have been
introduced that are specific to libgreen to assist in the spawning of pools of
schedulers.
For now, this moves the following modules to std::sync
* UnsafeArc (also removed unwrap method)
* mpsc_queue
* spsc_queue
* atomics
* mpmc_bounded_queue
* deque
We may want to remove some of the queues, but for now this moves things out of
std::rt into std::sync
This uses quite a bit of unsafe code for speed and failure safety, and allocates `2*n` temporary storage.
[Performance](https://gist.github.com/huonw/5547f2478380288a28c2):
| n | new | priority_queue | quick3 |
|-------:|---------:|---------------:|---------:|
| 5 | 200 | 155 | 106 |
| 100 | 6490 | 8750 | 5810 |

| 100000 | 16700000 | 23600000 | 12700000 |
| sorted | 520000 | 1380000 | 53900000 |
| trend | 1310000 | 1690000 | 1100000 |
(The times are in nanoseconds, having subtracted the set-up time (i.e. the `just_generate` bench target).)
I imagine that there is still significant room for improvement, particularly because both priority_queue and quick3 are doing a static call via `Ord` or `TotalOrd` for the comparisons, while this is using a (boxed) closure.
Also, this code does not `clone`, unlike `quick_sort3`; and is stable, unlike both of the others.
Now that the metadata is an owned value with a lifetime of a borrowed byte
slice, it's possible to have future optimizations where the metadata doesn't
need to be copied around (very expensive operation).

`[1e20, 1.0, -1e20].sum()` returns `0.0`. This happens because during
the summation, `1.0` is too small relative to `1e20`, making it
negligible.
I have tried Kahan summation but it hasn't fixed the problem.
Therefore, I've used Python's `fsum()` implementation.

@huonw, your feedback is more than welcome.
It looks unpolished; Do you have suggestions how to make it more beautiful and elegant?
Thanks in advance,
For `str.as_mut_buf`, un-closure-ification is achieved by outright removal (see commit message). The others are replaced by `.as_ptr`, `.as_mut_ptr` and `.len`
`[1e20, 1.0, -1e20].sum()` returns `0.0`. This happens because during
the summation, `1.0` is too small relative to `1e20`, making it
negligible.

Moreover, benchmark and unit tests were added.
Note: `Status.sum` is still not fully fixed. It doesn't handle
NaNs, infinities and overflow correctly. See issue 11059:

This code in resolve accidentally forced all types with an impl to become
public. This fixes it by default inheriting the privacy of what was previously
there and then becoming `true` if nothing else exits.
Closes#10545
The removal of the aliasing &mut[] and &[] from `shift_opt` also comes with its simplification.
The above also allows the use of `copy_nonoverlapping_memory` in `[].copy_memory` (I did an audit of each use of `.copy_memory` and `std::vec::bytes::copy_memory`, and I believe none of them are called with arguments can ever alias). This changes requires that `unsafe` code using `copy_memory` **needs** to respect the aliasing rules of `&mut[]`.
Understand 'pkgid' in stage0. As a bonus, the snapshot now contains now metadata
(now that those changes have landed), and the snapshot download is half as large
as it used to be!
This makes sure we always run benchmarks even if they are predicted to
take a long time, so that we have some non-zero time to display
(although the error bars may be huge for particularly slow benchmarks).
Fixes#9532.
