Avoid SeqCst or static mut in mach_timebase_info and QueryPerformanceFrequency caches
This patch went through a couple iterations but the end result is replacing a pattern where an `AtomicUsize` (updated with many SeqCst ops) guards a `static mut` with a single `AtomicU64` that is known to use 0 as a value indicating that it is not initialized.
The code in both places exists to cache values used in the conversion of Instants to Durations on macOS, iOS, and Windows.
I have no numbers to prove that this improves performance (It seems a little futile to benchmark something like this), but it's much simpler, safer, and in practice we'd expect it to be faster everywhere where Relaxed operations on AtomicU64 are cheaper than SeqCst operations on AtomicUsize, which is a lot of places.
Anyway, it also removes a bunch of unsafe code and greatly simplifies the logic, so IMO that alone would be worth it unless it was a regression.
If you want to take a look at the assembly output though, see https://godbolt.org/z/rbr6vn for x86_64, https://godbolt.org/z/cqcbqv for aarch64 (Note that this just the output of the mac side, but i'd expect the windows part to be the same and don't feel like doing another godbolt for it). There are several versions of this function in the godbolt:
- `info_new`: version in the current patch
- `info_less_new`: version in initial PR
- `info_original`: version currently in the tree
- `info_orig_but_better_orderings`: a version that just tries to change the original code's orderings from SeqCst to the (probably) minimal orderings required for soundness/correctness.
The biggest concern I have here is if we can use AtomicU64, or if there are targets that dont have it that this code supports. AFAICT: no. (If that changes in the future, it's easy enough to do something different for them)
r? `@Amanieu` because he caught a couple issues last time I tried to do a patch reducing orderings 😅

<summary>I rewrote this whole message so the original is inside here</summary>
I happened to notice the code we use for caching the result of mach_timebase_info uses SeqCst exclusively.
However, thinking a little more, it's actually pretty easy to avoid the static mut by packing the timebase info into an AtomicU64.
This entirely avoids needing to do the compare_exchange. The AtomicU64 can be read/written using Relaxed ops, which on current macos/ios platforms (x86_64/aarch64) have no overhead compared to direct loads/stores. This simplifies the code and makes it a lot safer too.
I have no numbers to prove that this improves performance (It seems a little futile to benchmark something like this), although it should do that on both targets it applies to.
That said, it also removes a bunch of unsafe code and simplifies the logic (arguably at least — there are only two states now, initialized or not), so I think it's a net win even without concrete numbers.
If you want to take a look at the assembly output though, see below. It has the new version, the original, and a version of the original with lower Orderings (which is still worse than the version in this PR)
- godbolt.org/z/obfqf9 x86_64-apple-darwin
- godbolt.org/z/Wz5cWc aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu (godbolt can't do aarch64-apple-ios but that doesn't matter here)
A different (and more efficient) option than this would be to just use the AtomicU64 and use the knowledge that after initialization the denominator should be nonzero... That felt like it's relying on too many things I'm not confident in, so I didn't want to do that.

doc: disambiguate stat in MetadataExt::as_raw_stat
A few architectures in `os::linux::raw` import `libc::stat`, rather than
defining that type directly. However, that also imports the _function_
called `stat`, which makes this doc link ambiguous:
error: `crate::os::linux::raw::stat` is both a struct and a function
--> library/std/src/os/linux/fs.rs:21:19
|
21 | /// [`stat`]: crate::os::linux::raw::stat
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ambiguous link
|

| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We want the `struct`, so it's now prefixed accordingly.
Link to documentation-specific guidelines.
Changed contribution information URL because it's not obvious how to get from the current URL to the documentation-specific content.
The current URL points to this "Getting Started" page, which contains nothing specific about documentation[*] and instead launches into how to *build* `rustc` which is not a strict prerequisite for contributing documentation fixes:
* https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html
[*] The most specific content is a "Writing documentation" bullet point which is not itself a link to anything (I guess a patch for that might be helpful too).
### Why?
Making this change will make it easier for people who wish to make small "drive by" documentation fixes (and read contribution guidelines ;) ) which I find are often how I start contributing to a project. (Exhibit A: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77050 :) )
### Background
My impression is the change of content linked is an unintentional change due to a couple of other changes:
* Originally, the link pointed to `contributing.md` which started with a "table of contents" linking to each section. But the content in `contributing.md` was removed and replaced with a link to the "Getting Started" section here:
* 3f6928f1f6 (diff-6a3371457528722a734f3c51d9238c13L1)
But the changed link doesn't actually point to the equivalent content, which is now located here:
* https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/contributing.html
(If the "Guide to Rustc Development" is now considered the canonical location of "How to Contribute" content it might be a good idea to merge some of the "Contributing" Introduction section into the "Getting Started" section.)
* This was then compounded by changing the link from `contributing.md` to `contributing.html` here:
* https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74037/files#diff-242481015141f373dcb178e93cffa850L88
In order to even find the new location of the previous `contributing.md` content I ended up needing to do a GitHub search of the `rust-lang` org for the phrase "Documentation improvements are very welcome". :D
Fix error checking in posix_spawn implementation of Command
* Check for errors returned from posix_spawn*_init functions
* Check for non-zero return value from posix_spawn functions
A few architectures in `os::linux::raw` import `libc::stat`, rather than
defining that type directly. However, that also imports the _function_
called `stat`, which makes this doc link ambiguous:

We want the `struct`, so it's now prefixed accordingly.
`DirEntry` contains a `ReadDir` handle, which used to just be a wrapper
on `Arc<InnerReadDir>`. Commit af75314ecd added `end_of_stream: bool`
which is not needed by `DirEntry`, but adds 8 bytes after padding. We
can let `DirEntry` have an `Arc<InnerReadDir>` directly to avoid that.
The posix_spawnattr_init & posix_spawn_file_actions_init might fail,
but their return code is not checked.
Check for non-zero return code and destroy only succesfully initialized
objects.
The cvt function compares the argument with -1 and when equal returns a new
io::Error constructed from errno. It is used together posix_spawn_* functions.
This is incorrect. Those functions do not set errno. Instead they return
non-zero error code directly.
Check for non-zero return code and use it to construct a new io::Error.
(docs): make mutex error comment consistent with codebase
Although exceptionally minor, I found this stands out from other error reporting language used in doc comments. With the existence of the `failure` crate, I suppose this could be slightly ambiguous. In any case, this change brings the particular comment into a consistent state with other mentions of returning errors.
Support static linking with glibc and target-feature=+crt-static
With this change, it's possible to build on a linux-gnu target and pass
RUSTFLAGS='-C target-feature=+crt-static' or the equivalent via a
`.cargo/config.toml` file, and get a statically linked executable.
Update to libc 0.2.78, which adds support for static linking with glibc.
Add `crt_static_respected` to the `linux_base` target spec.
Update `android_base` and `linux_musl_base` accordingly. Avoid enabling
crt_static_respected on Android platforms, since that hasn't been
tested.
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65447.
Minor `hash_map` doc adjustments + item attribute orderings
This PR is really a couple visual changes glued together:
1. Some of the doc comments for items in `std::collections::hash_map` referenced the names of types without escaping their formatting (e.g. using "VacantEntry" instead of "`VacantEntry`") - the ones I could find were changed to the latter
2. The vast majority of pre-item attributes seem to place doc comments as the first attribute (instead of things like `#[feature(...)]`), so the few that had the other order were changed.
3. Also ordering related: the general trend seems to be that `#[feature]` attributes follow `#[inline]`, so I swapped the two lines in places where that ordering was reversed. This is primarily a change based on stylistic continuity and aesthetics - I'm not sure how important that actually is / should be.
I figured this would be pretty uncontroversial, but some of these might have been intentional for reasons I don't know about - if so, I'd be happy to remove the relevant changes. Of these, the final set of changes is probably the most unnecessary, so it also might be better to leave those out (in favor of reducing code churn).
Unbox mutexes and condvars on some platforms
Both mutexes and condition variables contained a Box containing the actual os-specific object. This was done because moving these objects may cause undefined behaviour on some platforms.
However, this is not needed on Windows[1], Wasm[2], cloudabi[2], and 'unsupported'[3], were the box was only needlessly making them less efficient.
This change gets rid of the box on those platforms.
On those platforms, `Condvar` can no longer verify it is only used with one `Mutex`, as mutexes no longer have a stable address. This was addressed and considered acceptable in #76932.
[1]\: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/synchapi/nf-synchapi-initializesrwlock
[2]\: These are just a single atomic integer together with futex wait/wake calls/instructions.
[3]\: The `unsupported` platform doesn't support multiple threads at all.
Only use LOCAL_{STDOUT,STDERR} when set_{print/panic} is used.
The thread local `LOCAL_STDOUT` and `LOCAL_STDERR` are only used by the `test` crate to capture output from tests when running them in the same process in differen threads. However, every program will check these variables on every print, even outside of testing.
This involves allocating a thread local key, and registering a thread local destructor. This can be somewhat expensive.
This change keeps a global flag (`LOCAL_STREAMS`) which will be set to `true` when either of these local streams is used. (So, effectively only in test and benchmark runs.) When this flag is off, these thread locals are not even looked at and therefore will not be initialized on the first output on every thread, which also means no thread local destructors will be registered.

Together with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/77154, this should make output a little bit more efficient.
Fix Debug implementations of some of the HashMap and BTreeMap iterator types
HashMap's `ValuesMut`, BTreeMaps `ValuesMut`, IntoValues and `IntoKeys` structs were printing both keys and values on their Debug implementations. But they are iterators over either keys or values. Irrelevant values should not be visible. With this PR, they only show relevant fields.
This fixes#75297.
[Here's an example code.](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=0c79356ed860e347a0c1a205616f93b7) This prints this on nightly:
```
ValuesMut { inner: IterMut { range: [(1, "hello"), (2, "goodbye")], length: 2 } }
IntoKeys { inner: [(1, "hello"), (2, "goodbye")] }
IntoValues { inner: [(1, "hello"), (2, "goodbye")] }
[(2, "goodbye"), (1, "hello")]
```
After the patch this example prints these instead:
```
["hello", "goodbye"]
["hello", "goodbye"]
[1, 2]
["hello", "goodbye"]
```
I didn't add test cases for them, since I couldn't see any tests for Debug implementations anywhere. But please let me know if I should add it to a specific place.

Use posix_spawn on musl targets
The posix_spawn had been available in a form suitable for use in a
Command implementation since musl 0.9.12. Use it in a preference to a
fork when possible, to benefit from CLONE_VM|CLONE_VFORK used there.
Add accessors to Command.
This adds some accessor methods to `Command` to provide a way to access the values set when building the `Command`. An example where this can be useful is to display the command to be executed. This is roughly based on the [`ProcessBuilder`](13b73cdaf7/src/cargo/util/process_builder.rs (L105-L134)) in Cargo.
Possible concerns about the API:
- Values with NULs on Unix will be returned as `"<string-with-nul>"`. I don't think it is practical to avoid this, since otherwise a whole separate copy of all the values would need to be kept in `Command`.
- Does not handle `arg0` on Unix. This can be awkward to support in `get_args` and is rarely used. I figure if someone really wants it, it can be added to `CommandExt` as a separate method.
- Does not offer a way to detect `env_clear`. I'm uncertain if it would be useful for anyone.
- Does not offer a way to get an environment variable by name (`get_env`). I figure this can be added later if anyone really wants it. I think the motivation for this is weak, though. Also, the API could be a little awkward (return a `Option<Option<&OsStr>>`?).
- `get_envs` could skip "cleared" entries and just return `&OsStr` values instead of `Option<&OsStr>`. I'm on the fence here. My use case is to display a shell command, and I only intend it to be roughly equivalent to the actual execution, and I probably won't display `None` entries. I erred on the side of providing extra information, but I suspect many situations will just filter out the `None`s.
- Could implement more iterator stuff (like `DoubleEndedIterator`).
I have not implemented new std items before, so I'm uncertain if the existing issue should be reused, or if a new tracking issue is needed.
