Stabilise `const_char_encode_utf8`.
Closes: #130512
This PR stabilises the `const_char_encode_utf8` feature gate (i.e. support for `char::encode_utf8` in const scenarios).
Note that the linked tracking issue is currently awaiting FCP.
Port sort-research-rs test suite to Rust stdlib tests
This PR is a followup to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124032. It replaces the tests that test the various sort functions in the standard library with a test-suite developed as part of https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs. The current tests suffer a couple of problems:
- They don't cover important real world patterns that the implementations take advantage of and execute special code for.
- The input lengths tested miss out on code paths. For example, important safety property tests never reach the quicksort part of the implementation.
- The miri side is often limited to `len <= 20` which means it very thoroughly tests the insertion sort, which accounts for 19 out of 1.5k LoC.
- They are split into to core and alloc, causing code duplication and uneven coverage.
- ~~The randomness is tied to a caller location, wasting the space exploration capabilities of randomized testing.~~ The randomness is not repeatable, as it relies on `std:#️⃣:RandomState::new().build_hasher()`.
Most of these issues existed before https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124032, but they are intensified by it. One thing that is new and requires additional testing, is that the new sort implementations specialize based on type properties. For example `Freeze` and non `Freeze` execute different code paths.
Effectively there are three dimensions that matter:
- Input type
- Input length
- Input pattern
The ported test-suite tests various properties along all three dimensions, greatly improving test coverage. It side-steps the miri issue by preferring sampled approaches. For example the test that checks if after a panic the set of elements is still the original one, doesn't do so for every single possible panic opportunity but rather it picks one at random, and performs this test across a range of input length, which varies the panic point across them. This allows regular execution to easily test inputs of length 10k, and miri execution up to 100 which covers significantly more code. The randomness used is tied to a fixed - but random per process execution - seed. This allows for fully repeatable tests and fuzzer like exploration across multiple runs.
Structure wise, the tests are previously found in the core integration tests for `sort_unstable` and alloc unit tests for `sort`. The new test-suite was developed to be a purely black-box approach, which makes integration testing the better place, because it can't accidentally rely on internal access. Because unwinding support is required the tests can't be in core, even if the implementation is, so they are now part of the alloc integration tests. Are there architectures that can only build and test core and not alloc? If so, do such platforms require sort testing? For what it's worth the current implementation state passes miri `--target mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64` which is big endian.
The test-suite also contains tests for properties that were and are given by the current and previous implementations, and likely relied upon by users but weren't tested. For example `self_cmp` tests that the two parameters `a` and `b` passed into the comparison function are never references to the same object, which if the user is sorting for example a `&mut [Mutex<i32>]` could lead to a deadlock.
Instead of using the hashed caller location as rand seed, it uses seconds since unix epoch / 10, which given timestamps in the CI should be reasonably easy to reproduce, but also allows fuzzer like space exploration.

In my opinion the results don't change iterative library development or CI execution in meaningful ways. For example currently the library doc-tests take ~66s and incremental compilation takes 10+ seconds. However I only have limited knowledge of the various local development workflows that exist, and might be missing one that is significantly impacted by this change.
Add intrinsics `fmuladd{f16,f32,f64,f128}`. This computes `(a * b) +
c`, to be fused if the code generator determines that (i) the target
instruction set has support for a fused operation, and (ii) that the
fused operation is more efficient than the equivalent, separate pair
of `mul` and `add` instructions.
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-fmuladd-intrinsic
MIRI support is included for f32 and f64.
The codegen_cranelift uses the `fma` function from libc, which is a
correct implementation, but without the desired performance semantic. I
think this requires an update to cranelift to expose a suitable
instruction in its IR.
I have not tested with codegen_gcc, but it should behave the same
way (using `fma` from libc).
Stabilize const `{slice,array}::from_mut`
This PR stabilizes the following APIs as const stable as of rust `1.83`:
```rs
// core::array
pub const fn from_mut<T>(s: &mut T) -> &mut [T; 1];
// core::slice
pub const fn from_mut<T>(s: &mut T) -> &mut [T];
```
This is made possible by `const_mut_refs` being stabilized (yay).
Tracking issue: #90206
Rewrite these blobs to explicitly mention the case of a sized operand.
The previous made that seem wrong instead of emphasizing it is nothing
but a simple cast. Instead, the explanation now emphasizes that the
address portion of the argument, together with its provenance, is
discarded which previously had to be inferred by the reader. Then an
example demonstrates a simple line of incorrect usage based on this
idea of provenance.
make Cell unstably const
Now that we can do interior mutability in `const`, most of the Cell API can be `const fn`. :) The main exception is `set`, because it drops the old value. So from const context one has to use `replace`, which delegates the responsibility for dropping to the caller.
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131283
`as_array_of_cells` is itself still unstable to I added the const-ness to the feature gate for that function and not to `const_cell`, Cc #88248.
r? libs-api
Stabilize the `map`/`value` methods on `ControlFlow`
And fix the stability attribute on the `pub use` in `core::ops`.
libs-api in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75744#issuecomment-2231214910 seemed reasonably happy with naming for these, so let's try for an FCP.
Summary:
```rust
impl<B, C> ControlFlow<B, C> {
pub fn break_value(self) -> Option<B>;
pub fn map_break<T>(self, f: impl FnOnce(B) -> T) -> ControlFlow<T, C>;
pub fn continue_value(self) -> Option<C>;
pub fn map_continue<T>(self, f: impl FnOnce(C) -> T) -> ControlFlow<B, T>;
}
```
Resolves#75744

Aside, in case it keeps someone else from going down the same dead end: I looked at the `{break,continue}_value` methods and tried to make them `const` as part of this, but that's disallowed because of not having `const Drop`, so put it back to not even unstably-const.
