The `new` constructor uses the task-local RNG to retrieve seeds for the
two key values, which requires the runtime. Exposing a constructor that
takes the keys directly allows HashMaps to be used in programs that wish
to avoid the runtime.

The method .into_owned() is meant to be used as an optimization when you
need to get a ~str from a Str, but don't want to unnecessarily copy it
if it's already a ~str.
This is meant to ease functions that look like
fn foo<S: Str>(strs: &[S])
Previously they could work with the strings as slices using .as_slice(),
but producing ~str required copying the string, even if the vector
turned out be a &[~str] already.
I don't have any concrete uses for this yet, since the one conversion I've done to `&[S]` so far (see PR #8203) didn't actually need owned strings. But having this here may make using `Str` more attractive.
It also may be worth adding an `into_managed()` function, but that one is less obviously useful than `into_owned()`.
RWArc had a clone() method, but it was part of impl RWArc instead of
an implementation of Clone.
Stick with the explicit implementation instead of deriving Clone so we
can have a docstring.
Fixes#8052.
This is preparation for removing `@fn`.
This does *not* use default methods yet, because I don't know
whether they work. If they do, a forthcoming PR will use them.
This also changes the precedence of `as`.
OS X defaults the ulimit for open files to 256 for programs launched
from the Terminal (GUI apps get a higher default). Unfortunately this is
too low for the rt tests, which deliberately overcommit and create a lot
of threads (which means a lot of schedulers, and each scheduler needs at
least 2 fds).
By calling sysctl() and setrlimit() we can bump the fd limit up to the
maximum allowed (on stock OS X it's 10240).
Fixes#7772.
Added functions to cryptoutil.rs that perform an addition after shifting
the 2nd parameter by a specified constant. These function fail!() if integer
overflow will result. Updated the Sha2 implementation to use these functions.
Create a helper function in cryptoutil.rs which feeds 1,000,000 'a's into
a Digest with varying input sizes and then checks the result. This is
essentially the same as one of Sha1's existing tests, so, that test was
re-implemented using this method. New tests were added using this method for
Sha512 and Sha256.
The Sha2 compression functions were re-written to execute the message
scheduling calculations in the same loop as the rest of the compression
function. The compiler is able to generate much better code. Additionally,
innermost part of the compression functions were turned into macros to
reduce code duplicate and to make the functions more concise.
There are 2 main pieces of functionality in cryptoutil.rs:
* A set of unsafe function for efficiently reading and writing u32 and u64
values. All of these functions are fairly easy to audit to confirm that
they do what they are supposed to.
* A FixedBuffer struct. This struct keeps track of input data until there
is enough of it to execute the a function on it which expects a fixed
block of data.
The Sha2 module was rewritten to take advantage of the new functions in
cryptoutil as well as FixedBuffer. The result is that the duplicate code
for maintaining a buffer of input data is removed from the Sha512 and
Sha256 implementation. Additionally, the FixedBuffer code is much more
efficient than the previous code was.
The result_X() methods just calculate an output of a fixed size. They don't
really have much to do with running the actually hash algorithm until the very
last step - the output. It makes much more sense to put all this logic into
the Digest impls for each specific variation on the hash function.
The code was arranged so that the core Sha2 code came first, and then
all of the various implementation of Digest followed along later. The
problem is that the Sha512 compression function code is far away from
the Sha512 Digest implementation, so, if you are trying to read over
the code, you need to scroll all around the file for no good reason. The
code was rearranged so that all of the Sha512 code is in one place and
all of the Sha256 code is in another and so that all impls for a struct
are near the definition of that struct.
This fixes 4 bugs that prevented the extra::arc and extra::sync tests from passing on the new runtime.
* In ```Add SendDeferred trait``` I add a non-rescheduling ```send_deferred``` method to our various channel types. The ```extra::sync``` concurrency primitives need this guarantee so they can send while inside of an exclusive. (This fixes deterministic deadlocks seen with ```RUST_THREADS=1```.)
* In "Fix nasty double-free bug" I make sure that a ```ChanOne``` suppresses_finalize *before* rescheduling away to the receiver, so in case it gets a kill signal upon coming back, the destructor is inhibited as desired. (This is pretty uncommon on multiple CPUs but showed up always with ```RUST_THREADS=1```.)
* In ```Fix embarrassing bug where 'unkillable' would unwind improperly``` I make sure the task's unkillable counter stays consistent when a kill signal is received right at the start of an unkillable section. (This is a very uncommon race and can only occur with multiple CPUs.)
* In ```Don't fail from kill signals if already unwinding``` I do pretty much what it says on the tin. Surprising that it took the whole suite of sync/arc tests to expose this.
The other two commits are cleanup.

In the first commit it is obvious why some of the barriers can be changed to ```Relaxed```, but it is not as obvious for the once I changed in ```kill.rs```. The rationale for those is documented as part of the documenting commit.
Also the last commit is a temporary hack to prevent kill signals from being received in taskgroup cleanup code, which could be fixed in a more principled way once the old runtime is gone.
