Box::from(slice): Clarify that contents are copied
A colleague mentioned that they interpreted the old text
as saying that only the pointer and the length are copied.
Add a clause so it is more clear that the pointed to contents
are also copied.
std::io: migrate ReadBuf to BorrowBuf/BorrowCursor
This PR replaces `ReadBuf` (used by the `Read::read_buf` family of methods) with `BorrowBuf` and `BorrowCursor`.
The general idea is to split `ReadBuf` because its API is large and confusing. `BorrowBuf` represents a borrowed buffer which is mostly read-only and (other than for construction) deals only with filled vs unfilled segments. a `BorrowCursor` is a mostly write-only view of the unfilled part of a `BorrowBuf` which distinguishes between initialized and uninitialized segments. For `Read::read_buf`, the caller would create a `BorrowBuf`, then pass a `BorrowCursor` to `read_buf`.
In addition to the major API split, I've made the following smaller changes:
* Removed some methods entirely from the API (mostly the functionality can be replicated with two calls rather than a single one)
* Unified naming, e.g., by replacing initialized with init and assume_init with set_init
* Added an easy way to get the number of bytes written to a cursor (`written` method)
As well as simplifying the API (IMO), this approach has the following advantages:
* Since we pass the cursor by value, we remove the 'unsoundness footgun' where a malicious `read_buf` could swap out the `ReadBuf`.
* Since `read_buf` cannot write into the filled part of the buffer, we prevent the filled part shrinking or changing which could cause underflow for the caller or unexpected behaviour.
## Outline
```rust
pub struct BorrowBuf<'a>
impl Debug for BorrowBuf<'_>
impl<'a> From<&'a mut [u8]> for BorrowBuf<'a>
impl<'a> From<&'a mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]> for BorrowBuf<'a>
impl<'a> BorrowBuf<'a> {
pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize
pub fn len(&self) -> usize
pub fn init_len(&self) -> usize
pub fn filled(&self) -> &[u8]
pub fn unfilled<'this>(&'this mut self) -> BorrowCursor<'this, 'a>
pub fn clear(&mut self) -> &mut Self
pub unsafe fn set_init(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
}
pub struct BorrowCursor<'buf, 'data>
impl<'buf, 'data> BorrowCursor<'buf, 'data> {
pub fn clone<'this>(&'this mut self) -> BorrowCursor<'this, 'data>
pub fn capacity(&self) -> usize
pub fn written(&self) -> usize
pub fn init_ref(&self) -> &[u8]
pub fn init_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]
pub fn uninit_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]
pub unsafe fn as_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]
pub unsafe fn advance(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
pub fn ensure_init(&mut self) -> &mut Self
pub unsafe fn set_init(&mut self, n: usize) -> &mut Self
pub fn append(&mut self, buf: &[u8])
}
```
## TODO
* ~~Migrate non-unix libs and tests~~
* ~~Naming~~
* ~~`BorrowBuf` or `BorrowedBuf` or `SliceBuf`? (We might want an owned equivalent for the async IO traits)~~
* ~~Should we rename the `readbuf` module? We might keep the name indicate it includes both the buf and cursor variations and someday the owned version too. Or we could change it. It is not publicly exposed, so it is not that important~~.
* ~~`read_buf` method: we read into the cursor now, so the `_buf` suffix is a bit weird.~~
* ~~Documentation~~
* Tests are incomplete (I adjusted existing tests, but did not add new ones).

Move EH personality functions to std
These were previously in the panic_unwind crate with dummy stubs in the
panic_abort crate. However it turns out that this is insufficient: we
still need a proper personality function even with -C panic=abort to
handle the following cases:
1) `extern "C-unwind"` still needs to catch foreign exceptions with -C
panic=abort to turn them into aborts. This requires landing pads and a
personality function.
2) ARM EHABI uses the personality function when creating backtraces.
The dummy personality function in panic_abort was causing backtrace
generation to get stuck in a loop since the personality function is
responsible for advancing the unwind state to the next frame.
Fixes#41004
Add pointer masking convenience functions
This PR adds the following public API:
```rust
impl<T: ?Sized> *const T {
fn mask(self, mask: usize) -> *const T;
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
fn mask(self, mask: usize) -> *const T;
}
// mod intrinsics
fn mask<T>(ptr: *const T, mask: usize) -> *const T
```
This is equivalent to `ptr.map_addr(|a| a & mask)` but also uses a cool llvm intrinsic.

Update documentation for `write!` and `writeln!`
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37472 added this documentation, but it
needs updating:
- Remove some documentation duplicated between `writeln!` and `write!`
- Update `write!` docs: can now import traits as `_` to avoid conflicts
- Expand example to show how to implement qualified trait names
Without this change, in <https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.63.0/std/#primitives>,
`reference` is the only entry in that list which does not contain the
syntax by which the type is named in source code. With this change, it
contains them, in roughly the same way as the `pointer` entry does.
BTree: evaluate static type-related check at compile time
`assert`s like the ones replaced here would only go off when you run the right test cases, if the code were ever incorrectly changed such that rhey would trigger. But [inspired on a nice forum question](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/compile-time-const-generic-parameter-check/69202), they can be checked at compile time.
Reduce code size of `assert_matches_failed`
Using `write_str` instead of `<str as Display>::fmt` avoids the `pad` function which is very expensive to have in size-constrained code.
make slice::{split_at,split_at_unchecked} const functions
Now that `slice::from_raw_parts` is const in stable 1.64, it makes sense to have `split_at` const as well, otherwise unsafe code is required to achieve a const equivalent.
is_whitespace() performance improvements
This is my first rust PR, so if I miss anything obvious please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
This was a bit more of a challenge than I realized because, while I made working code locally and tested it against the native `is_whitespace()`, this PR required changing `src/tools/unicode-table-generator`, the code that generated the code.
I have benchmarked this locally, using criterion, and have seen meaningful performance improvements. I can add those outputs to this if you'd like, but am guessing that the perf run that `@fmease` recommended is what's needed.
I have run ` ./x.py test --stage 0 library/std` after building it locally after executing `./x.py build library`. I didn't try to build the whole compiler, but maybe I should have - any guidance would be appreciated.
If this general approach makes sense, I'll take a look at some other candidate categories, e.g., `Cc`, in the future.
Oh, and I wasn't sure whether the generated code should be included in this PR or not. I did include it.

Rewrite error index generator to greatly reduce the size of the pages
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/100736.
Instead of having all error codes in a same page (making the DOM way too big), I split the output into multiple files and generated a list of links (if there is an explanation) to the error codes' explanation into the already existing file.
I also used this opportunity to greatly simplify the code. Instead of needing a `build.rs`, I simply imported the file we want and wrote the macro which generates a function containing everything we need. We just need to call it to get the error codes and their explanation (if any). Also, considering the implementations between markdown and HTML formats differed even further, the `Formatter` trait was becoming too problematic so I removed it too.
You can test it [here](https://rustdoc.crud.net/imperio/rewrite-error-index/error-index.html).

Extra documentation for new formatting feature
Documentation of this feature was added in #90473 and released in Rust 1.58. However, high traffic macros did not receive new examples. Namely `println!()` and `format!()`.
The doc comments included in Rust are super important to the community- especially newcomers. I have met several other newbies like myself who are unaware of this recent (well about 7 months old now) update to the language allowing for convenient intra-string identifiers.
Bringing small examples of this feature to the doc comments of `println!()` and `format!()` would be helpful to everyone learning the language.

Optimize `Wtf8Buf::into_string` for the case where it contains UTF-8.
Add a `is_known_utf8` flag to `Wtf8Buf`, which tracks whether the
string is known to contain UTF-8. This is efficiently computed in many
common situations, such as when a `Wtf8Buf` is constructed from a `String`
or `&str`, or with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide` which is already doing UTF-16
decoding and already checking for surrogates.
This makes `OsString::into_string` O(1) rather than O(N) on Windows in
common cases.
And, it eliminates the need to scan through the string for surrogates in
`Args::next` and `Vars::next`, because the strings are already being
translated with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`.
Many things on Windows construct `OsString`s with `Wtf8Buf::from_wide`,
such as `DirEntry::file_name` and `fs::read_link`, so with this patch,
users of those functions can subsequently call `.into_string()` without
paying for an extra scan through the string for surrogates.

Move Error trait into core
This PR moves the error trait from the standard library into a new unstable `error` module within the core library. The goal of this PR is to help unify error reporting across the std and no_std ecosystems, as well as open the door to integrating the error trait into the panic reporting system when reporting panics whose source is an errors (such as via `expect`).
This PR is a rewrite of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90328 using new compiler features that have been added to support error in core.
While the `provide_*` methods already short-circuit when a value has
been provided, there are times where an expensive computation is
needed to determine if the `provide_*` method can even be called.
