The compiler currently vendors its own version of "llvm-ar" (not literally the
binary but rather the library support) and uses it for all major targets by
default (e.g. everything defined in `src/librustc_back/target`). All custom
target specs, however, still search for an `ar` tool by default. This commit
changes this default behavior to using the internally bundled llvm-ar with the
GNU format.
Currently all targets use the GNU format except for OSX which uses the BSD
format (surely makes sense, right?), and custom targets can change the format
via the `archive-format` key in custom target specs.
I suspect that we can outright remove support for invoking an external `ar`
utility, but I figure for now there may be some crazy target relying on that so
we should leave support in for now.
The comment in the next line was already talking about `_guard`, and the
scope guard a couple lines further down is also called `guard`, so I
assume that was just a typo.
Why do this: The RegionGraph representation previously conflated all
of the non-variable regions (i.e. the concrete regions such as
lifetime parameters to the current function) into a single dummy node.
A single dummy node leads DFS on a graph `'a -> '_#1 -> '_#0 -> 'b` to
claim that `'_#1` is reachable from `'_#0` (due to `'a` and `'b` being
conflated in the graph representation), which is incorrect (and can
lead to soundness bugs later on in compilation, see #30438).
Splitting the dummy node ensures that DFS will never introduce new
ancestor relationships between nodes for variable regions in the
graph.
Refactor away resolve_name_in_module in resolve_imports.rs
Rewrite and improve the core name resolution procedure in NameResolution::result and Module::resolve_name
Refactor the duplicate checking code into NameResolution::try_define
Both of these targets have jemalloc disabled unconditionally right now, so using
`maybe_jemalloc` here isn't right. This fixes the case where a Linux compiler
(which is itself configured to use jemalloc) attempts to cross-compile to MinGW,
causing it to try to find an `alloc_jemalloc` crate (and failing).

Also update the instability reason to include a note about a possible
bad interaction with condition variables on systems that allow
waiting on a RwLock guard.
Here's another go at adding emscripten support. This needs to wait again on new [libc definitions](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/libc/pull/122) landing. To get the libc definitions right I had to add support for i686-unknown-linux-musl, which are very similar to emscripten's, which are derived from arm/musl.
This branch additionally removes the makefile dependency on the `EMSCRIPTEN` environment variable by not building the unused compiler-rt.
Again, this is not sufficient for actually compiling to asmjs since it needs additional LLVM patches.

This tells trans:🔙:write not to LLVM codegen to create .o
files but to put LLMV bitcode in .o files.
Emscripten's emcc supports .o in this format, and this is,
I think, slightly easier than making rlibs work without .o
files.
Backtraces, and the compilation of libbacktrace for asmjs, are disabled.
This port doesn't use jemalloc so, like pnacl, it disables jemalloc *for all targets*
in the configure file.
It disables stack protection.
It could return in the future if it returned a different guard type, which
could not be used with Condvar, otherwise it is unsafe as another thread
can invalidate an "inner" reference during a Condvar::wait.
cc #27746
These commits finish up closing out https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/24237 by filling out all locations we create new file descriptors with variants that atomically create the file descriptor and set CLOEXEC where possible. Previous support for doing this in `File::open` was added in #27971 and support for `try_clone` was added in #27980. This commit fills out:
* `Socket::new` now passes `SOCK_CLOEXEC`
* `Socket::accept` now uses `accept4`
* `pipe2` is used instead of `pipe`
Unfortunately most of this support is Linux-specific, and most of it is post-2.6.18 (our oldest supported version), so all of the detection here is done dynamically. It looks like OSX does not have equivalent variants for these functions, so there's nothing more we can do there. Support for BSDs can be added over time if they also have these functions.
Closes#24237
Issue #31109 uncovered two semi-related problems:
* A panic in `str::parse::<f64>`
* A panic in `rustc::middle::const_eval::lit_to_const` where the result of float parsing was unwrapped.
This series of commits fixes both issues and also drive-by-fixes some things I noticed while tracking down the parsing panic.
Abort on stack overflow instead of re-raising SIGSEGV
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 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.
Closes#31273
