We need to supply sext/zext attributes to LLVM to ensure that arguments
are extended to the appropriate width in the correct way.
Most platforms extend integers less than 32 bits, though not all.
We use guard pages that cause the process to abort to protect against
undefined behavior in the event of stack overflow. We have a handler
that catches segfaults, prints out an error message if the segfault was
due to a stack overflow, then unregisters itself and returns to allow
the signal to be re-raised and kill the process.
This caused some confusion, as it was unexpected that safe code would be
able to cause a segfault, while it's easy to overflow the stack in safe
code. To avoid this confusion, when we detect a segfault in the guard
page, abort instead of the previous behavior of re-raising the SIGSEGV.
To test this, we need to adapt the tests for segfault to actually check
the exit status. Doing so revealed that the existing test for segfault
behavior was actually invalid; LLVM optimizes the explicit null pointer
reference down to an illegal instruction, so the program aborts with
SIGILL instead of SIGSEGV and the test didn't actually trigger the
signal handler at all. Use a C helper function to get a null pointer
that LLVM can't optimize away, so we get our segfault instead.
This is a [breaking-change] if anyone is relying on the exact signal
raised to kill a process on stack overflow.

- Rewrite `std::sys::fs::readlink` not to rely on `PATH_MAX`
It currently has the following problems:
1. It uses `_PC_NAME_MAX` to query the maximum length of a file path in
the underlying system. However, the meaning of the constant is the
maximum length of *a path component*, not a full path. The correct
constant should be `_PC_PATH_MAX`.
2. `pathconf` *may* fail if the referred file does not exist. This can
be problematic if the file which the symbolic link points to does not
exist, but the link itself does exist. In this case, the current
implementation resorts to the hard-coded value of `1024`, which is not
ideal.
3. There may exist a platform where there is no limit on file path
lengths in general. That's the reaon why GNU Hurd doesn't define
`PATH_MAX` at all, in addition to having `pathconf` always returning
`-1`. In these platforms, the content of the symbolic link can be
silently truncated if the length exceeds the hard-coded limit mentioned
above.
4. The value obtained by `pathconf` may be outdated at the point of
actually calling `readlink`. This is inherently racy.
This commit introduces a loop that gradually increases the length of the
buffer passed to `readlink`, eliminating the need of `pathconf`.
- Remove the arbitrary memory limit of `std::sys::fs::realpath`
As per POSIX 2013, `realpath` will return a malloc'ed buffer if the
second argument is a null pointer.[1]

- Comment on functions that are still using `PATH_MAX`
There are some functions that only work in terms of `PATH_MAX`, such as
`F_GETPATH` in OS X. Comments on them for posterity.
- All the libstd tests are passing in the optimized build against
a Zenfone2 and the x86 Android emulator.
I haven't tested the other libraries though.
This commit removes all morestack support from the compiler which entails:
* Segmented stacks are no longer emitted in codegen.
* We no longer build or distribute libmorestack.a
* The `stack_exhausted` lang item is no longer required
The only current use of the segmented stack support in LLVM is to detect stack
overflow. This is no longer really required, however, because we already have
guard pages for all threads and registered signal handlers watching for a
segfault on those pages (to print out a stack overflow message). Additionally,
major platforms (aka Windows) already don't use morestack.
This means that Rust is by default less likely to catch stack overflows because
if a function takes up more than one page of stack space it won't hit the guard
page. This is what the purpose of morestack was (to catch this case), but it's
better served with stack probes which have more cross platform support and no
runtime support necessary. Until LLVM supports this for all platform it looks
like morestack isn't really buying us much.
cc #16012 (still need stack probes)
Closes#26458 (a drive-by fix to help diagnostics on stack overflow)
These aren't really used for anything any more, so there doesn't seem to be much
reason to leave them around in the `rt` directory. There was some limiting of
threads spawned or tests when run under valgrind, but very little is run under
valgrind nowadays so there's also no real use keeping these around.
This commit moves the IR files in the distribution, rust_try.ll,
rust_try_msvc_64.ll, and rust_try_msvc_32.ll into the compiler from the main
distribution. There's a few reasons for this change:
* LLVM changes its IR syntax from time to time, so it's very difficult to
have these files build across many LLVM versions simultaneously. We'll likely
want to retain this ability for quite some time into the future.
* The implementation of these files is closely tied to the compiler and runtime
itself, so it makes sense to fold it into a location which can do more
platform-specific checks for various implementation details (such as MSVC 32
vs 64-bit).
* This removes LLVM as a build-time dependency of the standard library. This may
end up becoming very useful if we move towards building the standard library
with Cargo.
In the immediate future, however, this commit should restore compatibility with
LLVM 3.5 and 3.6.
LLVM has recently created their 3.7 release branch, and this PR updates us to that point. This should hopefully mean that we're basically compatible with the upcoming 3.7 release. Additionally, there are a number of goodies on this branch.
* This contains a fix for https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23957
which should help us bootstrap farther on 32-bit MSVC targets.
* There is better support for writing multiple flavors of archives, allowing us
to use the built-in LLVM support instead of the system `ar` on all current
platforms of the compiler.
* This LLVM has SafeStack support
* An [optimization patch](7cf5e26e18) by @pcwalton is included.
* A number of other minor test fixes here and there.
Due to problems dealing with the data layout we pass to LLVM, this PR also takes the time to clean up how we specific this. We no longer specify a data layout to LLVM by default and instead take the default for the target from LLVM to pass to the module that we're building. This should be more robust going into the future, and I'm also not sure we know what any of these arcane strings are any more...
When building for AArch64/Linux, __morestack ends up in the .note.GNU-stack section,
which causes missing references for the linker. By using the func/endfunc macros
from macros.S we get __morestack right to .text (and a bit more on the side).
This is currently quite buggy in LLVM from what I can tell, so just disable it
entirely. This commit also adds preliminary support, however, to actually
target 32-bit MSVC by making sure the `rust_try_msvc_32.ll` file exists and
wiring up exceptions to `_except_handler3` instead of `__C_specific_handler`
(which doesn't exist on 32-bit).
This library has no shims which are actually needed on Windows now, so translate
that last easy one into Rust and then don't link it at all on Windows.
Now that LLVM has been updated, the only remaining roadblock to implementing
unwinding for MSVC is to fill out the runtime support in `std::rt::unwind::seh`.
This commit does precisely that, fixing up some other bits and pieces along the
way:
* The `seh` unwinding module now uses `RaiseException` to initiate a panic.
* The `rust_try.ll` file was rewritten for MSVC (as it's quite different) and is
located at `rust_try_msvc_64.ll`, only included on MSVC builds for now.
* The personality function for all landing pads generated by LLVM is hard-wired
to `__C_specific_handler` instead of the standard `rust_eh_personality` lang
item. This is required to get LLVM to emit SEH unwinding information instead
of DWARF unwinding information. This also means that on MSVC the
`rust_eh_personality` function is entirely unused (but is defined as it's a
lang item).
More details about how panicking works on SEH can be found in the
`rust_try_msvc_64.ll` or `seh.rs` files, but I'm always open to adding more
comments!
A key aspect of this PR is missing, however, which is that **unwinding is still
turned off by default for MSVC**. There is a [bug in llvm][llvm-bug] which
causes optimizations to inline enough landing pads that LLVM chokes. If the
compiler is optimized at `-O1` (where inlining isn't enabled) then it can
bootstrap with unwinding enabled, but when optimized at `-O2` (inlining is
enabled) then it hits a fatal LLVM error.

This "fast path" in `DirEntry::file_type` on Unix wasn't turning out to be so
much of a fast path as the `DT_DIR` case wasn't handled, so directories fell
back to using `lstat` instead. This commit adds the missing case to return
quickly if a path is a directory and `DirEntry::file_type` is used.

This function is imported across the DLL boundary by the libtest dynamic
library, so it has to be marked as dllexport somehow, and for now this is done
with an attribute on the function specifically.
* Detect the #define _MSC_VER in addition to __WIN32__
* Don't include valgrind.h for windows
* Remove unused `rust_valgrind_stack_{un,}register` functions
* Add stub definition for `rust_running_on_valgrind` for windows
* Conditionally define `rust_dbg_extern_empty_struct` as empty structures are
not allowed by cl.exe apparently.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 1044][rfc] which adds additional
surface area to the `std::fs` module. All new APIs are `#[unstable]` behind
assorted feature names for each one.
[rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1044
The new APIs added are:
* `fs::canonicalize` - bindings to `realpath` on unix and
`GetFinalPathNameByHandle` on windows.
* `fs::symlink_metadata` - similar to `lstat` on unix
* `fs::FileType` and accessor methods as `is_{file,dir,symlink}`
* `fs::Metadata::file_type` - accessor for the raw file type
* `fs::DirEntry::metadata` - acquisition of metadata which is free on Windows
but requires a syscall on unix.
* `fs::DirEntry::file_type` - access the file type which may not require a
syscall on most platforms.
* `fs::DirEntry::file_name` - access just the file name without leading
components.
* `fs::PathExt::symlink_metadata` - convenience method for the top-level
function.
* `fs::PathExt::canonicalize` - convenience method for the top-level
function.
* `fs::PathExt::read_link` - convenience method for the top-level
function.
* `fs::PathExt::read_dir` - convenience method for the top-level
function.
* `std::os::raw` - type definitions for raw OS/C types available on all
platforms.
* `std::os::$platform` - new modules have been added for all currently supported
platforms (e.g. those more specific than just `unix`).
* `std::os::$platform::raw` - platform-specific type definitions. These modules
are populated with the bare essentials necessary for lowing I/O types into
their raw representations, and currently largely consist of the `stat`
definition for unix platforms.
This commit also deprecates `Metadata::{modified, accessed}` in favor of
inspecting the raw representations via the lowering methods of `Metadata`.
- add `_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX` constant
- declare `struct passwd`
- convert `load_self` to `current_exe`
Note: OpenBSD don't provide system function to return a valuable Path
for `env::current_exe`. The implementation is currently based on the
value of `argv[0]`, which couldn't be used when executable is called via
PATH.

- consolidate target_record_sp_limit and target_get_sp_limit functions
for aarch64, powerpc, arm-ios and openbsd as there are all without
segmented stacks (no need to duplicate functions).
- rename __load_self function to rust_load_self
- use a mutex inner load_self() as underline implementation is not thread-safe
Originally, this was going to be discussed and revisted, however I've been working on this for months, and a rebase on top of master was about 1 flight's worth of work so I just went ahead and did it.
This gets you as far as being able to target powerpc with, eg:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/lib/ x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage2/bin/rustc -C linker=powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc --target powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu hello.rs
Would really love to get this out before 1.0. r? @alexcrichton
