Add support for QNX Neutrino to standard library
This change:
- adds standard library support for QNX Neutrino (7.1).
- upgrades `libc` to version `0.2.139` which supports QNX Neutrino
`@gh-tr`
⚠️ Backtraces on QNX require https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/pull/507 which is not yet merged! (But everything else works without these changes) ⚠️
Tested mainly with a x86_64 virtual machine (see qnx-nto.md) and partially with an aarch64 hardware (some tests fail due to constrained resources).
Merge two different equality specialization traits in `core`
Arrays and slices each had their own version of this, without a matching set of `impl`s.
Merge them into one (still-`pub(crate)`) `cmp::BytewiseEq` trait, so we can stop doing all these things twice.
And that means that the `[T]::eq` → `memcmp` specialization picks up a bunch of types where that previously only worked for arrays, so examples like <https://rust.godbolt.org/z/KjsG8MGGT> will use it now instead of emitting loops.

Add `Option::as_`(`mut_`)`slice`
This adds the following functions:
* `Option<T>::as_slice(&self) -> &[T]`
* `Option<T>::as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &[T]`
The `as_slice` and `as_mut_slice_mut` functions benefit from an optimization that makes them completely branch-free. ~~Unfortunately, this optimization is not available on by-value Options, therefore the `into_slice` implementations use the plain `match` + `slice::from_ref` approach.~~
Note that the optimization's soundness hinges on the fact that either the niche optimization makes the offset of the `Some(_)` contents zero or the mempory layout of `Option<T>` is equal to that of `Option<MaybeUninit<T>>`.
The idea has been discussed on [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/Option.3A.3Aas_slice). Notably the idea for the `as_slice_mut` and `into_slice´ methods came from `@cuviper` and `@Sp00ph` hardened the optimization against niche-optimized Options.
The [rust playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=release&edition=2021&gist=74f8e4239a19f454c183aaf7b4a969e0) shows that the generated assembly of the optimized method is basically only a copy while the naive method generates code containing a `test dx, dx` on x86_64.

add missing feature in core/tests
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104265 introduced the `ip_in_core` feature. For some reason core tests seem to still build without that feature -- no idea how that is possible. Might be related to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/15702? I was under the impression that `pub use` with different stability doesn't actually work. That's why `intrinsics::transmute` is stable, for example.
Either way, core tests fail to build in miri-test-libstd, and adding the feature fixes that.

This adds the following functions:

The `as_slice` and `as_slice_mut` functions benefit from an
optimization that makes them completely branch-free.
Note that the optimization's soundness hinges on the fact that either
the niche optimization makes the offset of the `Some(_)` contents zero
or the mempory layout of `Option<T>` is equal to that of

Inline `Poll` methods
With `opt-level="z"`, the `Poll::map*` methods are sometimes not inlined (see <https://godbolt.org/z/ca5ajKTEK>). This PR adds `#[inline]` to these methods. I have a project that can benefit from this change, but do we want to enable this behavior universally?

Stabilize `#![feature(target_feature_11)]`
## Stabilization report
### Summary
Allows for safe functions to be marked with `#[target_feature]` attributes.
Functions marked with `#[target_feature]` are generally considered as unsafe functions: they are unsafe to call, cannot be assigned to safe function pointers, and don't implement the `Fn*` traits.
However, calling them from other `#[target_feature]` functions with a superset of features is safe.
```rust
// Demonstration function
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
fn avx2() {}
fn foo() {
// Calling `avx2` here is unsafe, as we must ensure
// that AVX is available first.
unsafe {
avx2();
}
}
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
fn bar() {
// Calling `avx2` here is safe.
avx2();
}
```
### Test cases
Tests for this feature can be found in [`src/test/ui/rfcs/rfc-2396-target_feature-11/`](b67ba9ba20/src/test/ui/rfcs/rfc-2396-target_feature-11/).
### Edge cases
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73631
Closures defined inside functions marked with `#[target_feature]` inherit the target features of their parent function. They can still be assigned to safe function pointers and implement the appropriate `Fn*` traits.
```rust
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
fn qux() {
let my_closure = || avx2(); // this call to `avx2` is safe
let f: fn() = my_closure;
}
```
This means that in order to call a function with `#[target_feature]`, you must show that the target-feature is available while the function executes *and* for as long as whatever may escape from that function lives.

Move IpAddr, SocketAddr and V4+V6 related types to `core`
Implements RFC https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2832. The RFC has completed FCP with disposition merge, but is not yet merged.
Moves IP types to `core` as specified in the RFC.
The full list of moved types is: `IpAddr`, `Ipv4Addr`, `Ipv6Addr`, `SocketAddr`, `SocketAddrV4`, `SocketAddrV6`, `Ipv6MulticastScope` and `AddrParseError`.
Doing this move was one of the main driving arguments behind #78802.
Remove `from` lang item
It was probably a leftover from the old `?` desugaring but anyways, it's unused now except for clippy, which can just use a diagnostics item.
Require `literal`s for some `(u)int_impl!` parameters
The point of these is to be seen *lexically* in the docs, so they should always be passed as the correct literal, not as an expression.
(Otherwise we could just compute `Min`/`Max` from `BITS`, for example.)

implement const iterator using `rustc_do_not_const_check`
Previous experiment: #102225.
Explanation: rather than making all default methods work under `const` all at once, this uses `rustc_do_not_const_check` as a workaround to "trick" the compiler to not run any checks on those other default methods. Any const implementations are only required to implement the `next` method. Any actual calls to the trait methods other than `next` will either error in compile time (at CTFE runs), or run the methods correctly if they do not have any non-const operations. This is extremely easy to maintain, remove, or improve.
The point of these is to be seen lexically in the docs, so they should always be passed as the correct literal, not as an expression.
(Otherwise we could just compute `Min`/`Max` from `BITS`, for example.)

Document that CStr::as_ptr returns a type alias
Rustdoc resolves type aliases too eagerly #15823 which makes the [std re-export](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ffi/struct.CStr.html#method.as_ptr) of `CStr::as_ptr` show `i8` instead of `c_char`. To work around this I've added info about `c_char` in the method's description.
BTW, I've also added a comment to what-not-to-do example in case someone copypasted it without reading the surrounding text.
Improve the `array::map` codegen
The `map` method on arrays [is documented as sometimes performing poorly](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.array.html#note-on-performance-and-stack-usage), and after [a question on URLO](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/try-trait-residual-o-trait-and-try-collect-into-array/88510?u=scottmcm) prompted me to take another look at the core [`try_collect_into_array`](7c46fb2111/library/core/src/array/mod.rs (L865-L912)) function, I had some ideas that ended up working better than I'd expected.
There's three main ideas in here, split over three commits:
1. Don't use `array::IntoIter` when we can avoid it, since that seems to not get SRoA'd, meaning that every step writes things like loop counters into the stack unnecessarily
2. Don't return arrays in `Result`s unnecessarily, as that doesn't seem to optimize away even with `unwrap_unchecked` (perhaps because it needs to get moved into a new LLVM type to account for the discriminant)
3. Don't distract LLVM with all the `Option` dances when we know for sure we have enough items (like in `map` and `zip`). This one's a larger commit as to do it I ended up adding a new `pub(crate)` trait, but hopefully those changes are still straight-forward.
(No libs-api changes; everything should be completely implementation-detail-internal.)
It's still not completely fixed -- I think it needs pcwalton's `memcpy` optimizations still (#103830) to get further -- but this seems to go much better than before. And the remaining `memcpy`s are just `transmute`-equivalent (`[T; N] -> ManuallyDrop<[T; N]>` and `[MaybeUninit<T>; N] -> [T; N]`), so hopefully those will be easier to remove with LLVM16 than the previous subobject copies 🤞

Avoid copy-pasting the `ilog` panic string in a bunch of places
I also ended up changing the implementations to `if let` because it doesn't work to

self.checked_ilog2().unwrap_or_else(panic_for_nonpositive_argument)

due to the `!`. But as a bonus that meant I could remove the `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable` too.
Add `array::map` benchmarks
Since there were no previous benchmarks for `array::map`, and it is known to have mediocre/poor performance, add some simple benchmarks. These benchmarks vary the length of the array and size of each item.
avoid mixing accesses of ptrs derived from a mutable ref and parent ptrs
``@Vanille-N`` is working on a successor for Stacked Borrows. It will mostly accept strictly more code than Stacked Borrows did, with one exception: the following pattern no longer works.
```rust
let mut root = 6u8;
let mref = &mut root;
let ptr = mref as *mut u8;
*ptr = 0; // Write
assert_eq!(root, 0); // Parent Read
*ptr = 0; // Attempted Write
```
This worked in Stacked Borrows kind of by accident: when doing the "parent read", under SB we Disable `mref`, but the raw ptrs derived from it remain usable. The fact that we can still use the "children" of a reference that is no longer usable is quite nasty and leads to some undesirable effects (in particular it is the major blocker for resolving https://github.com/rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines/issues/257). So in Tree Borrows we no longer do that; instead, reading from `root` makes `mref` and all its children read-only.
Due to other improvements in Tree Borrows, the entire Miri test suite still passes with this new behavior, and even the entire libcore and liballoc test suite, except for these 2 cases this PR fixes. Both of these involve code where the programmer wrote `&mut` but then used pointers derived from that reference in ways that alias with the parent pointer, which arguably is violating uniqueness. They are fixed by properly using raw pointers throughout.
Document `PointerLike`
I forgot to document this, and even though it's currently more of an implementation detail, the old doc was kinda embarrassing 😅
Use associated items of `char` instead of freestanding items in `core::char`
The associated functions and constants on `char` have been stable since 1.52 and the freestanding items have soft-deprecated since 1.62 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95566). This PR ~~marks them as "deprecated in future", similar to the integer and floating point modules (`core::{i32, f32}` etc)~~ replaces all uses of `core::char::*` with `char::*` to prepare for future deprecation of `core::char::*`.
Speedup heapsort by 1.5x by making it branchless

Stabilize feature `cstr_from_bytes_until_nul`
This PR seeks to stabilize `cstr_from_bytes_until_nul`.
Partially addresses #95027
This function has only been on nightly for about 10 months, but I think it is simple enough that there isn't harm discussing stabilization. It has also had at least a handful of mentions on both the user forum and the discord, so it seems like it's already in use or at least known.
This needs FCP still.
Comment on potential discussion points:
- eventual conversion of `CStr` to be a single thin pointer: this function will still be useful to provide a safe way to create a `CStr` after this change.
- should this return a length too, to address concerns about the `CStr` change? I don't see it as being particularly useful, and it seems less ergonomic (i.e. returning `Result<(&CStr, usize), FromBytesUntilNulError>`). I think users that also need this length without the additional `strlen` call are likely better off using a combination of other methods, but this is up for discussion
- `CString::from_vec_until_nul`: this is also useful, but it doesn't even have a nightly implementation merged yet. I propose feature gating that separately, as opposed to blocking this `CStr` implementation on that
Possible alternatives:
A user can use `from_bytes_with_nul` on a slice up to `my_slice[..my_slice.iter().find(|c| c == 0).unwrap()]`. However; that is significantly less ergonomic, and is a bit more work for the compiler to optimize compared the direct `memchr` call that this wraps.
## New stable API
```rs
// both in core::ffi

impl CStr {
pub const fn from_bytes_until_nul(
bytes: &[u8]

Rename `PointerSized` to `PointerLike`
The old name was unnecessarily vague. This PR renames a nightly language feature that I added, so I don't think it needs any additional approval, though anyone can feel free to speak up if you dislike the rename.
It's still unsatisfying that we don't the user which of {size, alignment} is wrong, but this trait really is just a stepping stone for a more generalized mechanism to create `dyn*`, just meant for nightly testing, so I don't think it really deserves additional diagnostic machinery for now.

Fixing confusion between mod and remainder
Like many programming languages, rust too confuses remainder and modulus. The `%` operator and the associated `Rem` trait is (as the trait name suggests) the remainder, but since most people are linguistically more familiar with the modulus the documentation sometimes claims otherwise. This PR tries to fix this problem in rustc.

Rather than needing to do things like #105840 for `signum` too, might as well just implement that method using `Ord`, since it's doing the same "I need `-1`/`0`/`+1`" behaviour that `cmp` is already doing.

core: Support variety of atomic widths in width-agnostic functions
Before this change, the following functions and macros were annotated with `#[cfg(target_has_atomic = "8")]` or
`#[cfg(target_has_atomic_load_store = "8")]`:
* `atomic_int`
* `strongest_failure_ordering`
* `atomic_swap`
* `atomic_add`
* `atomic_sub`
* `atomic_compare_exchange`
* `atomic_compare_exchange_weak`
* `atomic_and`
* `atomic_nand`
* `atomic_or`
* `atomic_xor`
* `atomic_max`
* `atomic_min`
* `atomic_umax`
* `atomic_umin`
However, none of those functions and macros actually depend on 8-bit width and they are needed for all atomic widths (16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit etc.). Some targets might not support 8-bit atomics (i.e. BPF, if we would enable atomic CAS for it).
This change fixes that by removing the `"8"` argument from annotations, which results in accepting the whole variety of widths.

Move format_args!() into AST (and expand it during AST lowering)
Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/541
This moves FormatArgs from rustc_builtin_macros to rustc_ast_lowering. For now, the end result is the same. But this allows for future changes to do smarter things with format_args!(). It also allows Clippy to directly access the ast::FormatArgs, making things a lot easier.
This change turns the format args types into lang items. The builtin macro used to refer to them by their path. After this change, the path is no longer relevant, making it easier to make changes in `core`.
This updates clippy to use the new language items, but this doesn't yet make clippy use the ast::FormatArgs structure that's now available. That should be done after this is merged.
impl DispatchFromDyn for Cell and UnsafeCell
After some fruitful discussion on [Internals](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/impl-dispatchfromdyn-for-cell-2/16520) here's my first PR to rust-lang/rust 🎉
Please let me know if there's something I missed.
This adds `DispatchFromDyn` impls for `Cell`, `UnsafeCell` and `SyncUnsafeCell`.
An existing test is also expanded to test the `Cell` impl (which requires the `UnsafeCell` impl)
The different `RefCell` types can not implement `DispatchFromDyn` since they have more than one (non ZST) field.
**Edit:**
### What:
These changes allow one to make types like `MyRc`(code below), to be object safe method receivers after implementing `DispatchFromDyn` and `Deref` for them.
This allows for code like this:
```rust
struct MyRc<T: ?Sized>(Cell<NonNull<RcBox<T>>>);
/* impls for DispatchFromDyn, CoerceUnsized and Deref for MyRc*/
trait Trait {
fn foo(self: MyRc<Self>);
}
let impls_trait = ...;
let rc = MyRc::new(impls_trait) as MyRc<dyn Trait>;
rc.foo();
```
Note: `Cell` and `UnsafeCell` won't directly become valid method receivers since they don't implement `Deref`. Making use of these changes requires a wrapper type and nightly features.
### Why:
A custom pointer type with interior mutability allows one to store extra information in the pointer itself.
These changes allow for such a type to be a method receiver.
### Examples:
My use case is a cycle aware custom `Rc` implementation that when dropping a cycle marks some references dangling.
On the [forum](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/impl-dispatchfromdyn-for-cell/14762/8) andersk mentioned that they track if a `Gc` reference is rooted with an extra bit in the reference itself.
Suggest using a lock for `*Cell: Sync` bounds
I mostly did this for `OnceCell<T>` at first because users will be confused to see that the `OnceCell<T>` in `std` isn't `Sync` but then extended it to `Cell<T>` and `RefCell<T>` as well.
`sub_ptr()` is equivalent to `usize::try_from().unwrap_unchecked()`, not `usize::from().unwrap_unchecked()`
`usize::from()` gives a `usize`, not `Result<usize>`, and `usize: From<isize>` is not implemented.
Allow fmt::Arguments::as_str() to return more Some(_).
This adjusts the documentation to allow optimization of format_args!() to be visible through fmt::Arguments::as_str().
This allows for future changes like https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106824.
Before this change, the following functions and macros were annotated
with `#[cfg(target_has_atomic = "8")]` or
`#[cfg(target_has_atomic_load_store = "8")]`:
* `atomic_int`
* `strongest_failure_ordering`
* `atomic_swap`
* `atomic_add`
* `atomic_sub`
* `atomic_compare_exchange`
* `atomic_compare_exchange_weak`
* `atomic_and`
* `atomic_nand`
* `atomic_or`
* `atomic_xor`
* `atomic_max`
* `atomic_min`
* `atomic_umax`
* `atomic_umin`
However, none of those functions and macros actually depend on 8-bit
width and they are needed for all atomic widths (16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit
etc.). Some targets might not support 8-bit atomics (i.e. BPF, if we
would enable atomic CAS for it).
This change fixes that by removing the `"8"` argument from annotations,
which results in accepting the whole variety of widths.

Memory pre-fetching prefers forward scanning vs backwards scanning, and the
code-gen is usually better. For the most sensitive types such as integers, these
are planned to be merged bidirectionally at once. So there is no benefit in
scanning backwards.
The largest perf gains are seen for full ascending and descending inputs, which
see 1.5x speedups. Random inputs benefit too, and some patterns can loose out,
but these losses are minimal.
Improve the documentation of `black_box`
There don't seem to be many great resources on how `black_box` should be used, so I added some information here
