readdir() is preferred over readdir_r() on Linux and many other
platforms because it more gracefully supports long file names. Both
glibc and musl (and presumably all other Linux libc implementations)
guarantee that readdir() is thread-safe as long as a single DIR* is not
accessed concurrently, which is enough to make a readdir()-based
implementation of ReadDir safe. This implementation is already used for
some other OSes including Fuchsia, Redox, and Solaris.
See #40021 for more details. Fixes#86649. Fixes#34668.
Implement most of RFC 2930, providing the ReadBuf abstraction
This replaces the `Initializer` abstraction for permitting reading into uninitialized buffers, closing #42788.
This leaves several APIs described in the RFC out of scope for the initial implementation:
* read_buf_vectored
* `ReadBufs`
Closes#42788, by removing the relevant APIs.
Refactor weak symbols in std::sys::unix
This makes a few changes to the weak symbol macros in `sys::unix`:
- `dlsym!` is added to keep the functionality for runtime `dlsym`
lookups, like for `__pthread_get_minstack@GLIBC_PRIVATE` that we don't
want to show up in ELF symbol tables.
- `weak!` now uses `#[linkage = "extern_weak"]` symbols, so its runtime
behavior is just a simple null check. This is also used by `syscall!`.
- On non-ELF targets (macos/ios) where that linkage is not known to
behave, `weak!` is just an alias to `dlsym!` for the old behavior.
- `raw_syscall!` is added to always call `libc::syscall` on linux and
android, for cases like `clone3` that have no known libc wrapper.
The new `weak!` linkage does mean that you'll get versioned symbols if
you build with a newer glibc, like `WEAK DEFAULT UND statx@GLIBC_2.28`.
This might seem problematic, but old non-weak symbols can tie the build
to new versions too, like `dlsym@GLIBC_2.34` from their recent library
unification. If you build with an old glibc like `dist-x86_64-linux`
does, you'll still get unversioned `WEAK DEFAULT UND statx`, which may
be resolved based on the runtime glibc.
I also found a few functions that don't need to be weak anymore:
- Android can directly use `ftruncate64`, `pread64`, and `pwrite64`, as
these were added in API 12, and our baseline is API 14.
- Linux can directly use `splice`, added way back in glibc 2.5 and
similarly old musl. Android only added it in API 21 though.
According to documentation, the listed errnos should only occur
if the `copy_file_range` call cannot be made at all, so the
assert be correct. However, since in practice file system
drivers (incl. FUSE etc.) can return any errno they want, we
should not panic here.

Only use `clone3` when needed for pidfd
In #89522 we learned that `clone3` is interacting poorly with Gentoo's
`sandbox` tool. We only need that for the unstable pidfd extensions, so
otherwise avoid that and use a normal `fork`.
This is a re-application of beta #89924, now that we're aware that we need
more than just a temporary release fix. I also reverted 12fbabd27f, as
that was just fallout from using `clone3` instead of `fork`.

Make `std:🧵:available_concurrency` support process-limited number of CPUs
Use `libc::sched_getaffinity` and count the number of CPUs in the returned mask. This handles cases where the process doesn't have access to all CPUs, such as when limited via `taskset` or similar.
This also covers cgroup cpusets.

linux/aarch64 Now() should be actually_monotonic()
While issues have been seen on arm64 platforms the Arm architecture requires
that the counter monotonically increases and that it must provide a uniform
view of system time (e.g. it must not be possible for a core to receive a
message from another core with a time stamp and observe time going backwards
(ARM DDI 0487G.b D11.1.2). While there have been a few 64bit SoCs that have
bugs (#49281, #56940) which cause time to not monotonically increase, these have
been fixed in the Linux kernel and we shouldn't penalize all Arm SoCs for those
who refuse to update their kernels:
SUN50I_ERRATUM_UNKNOWN1 - Allwinner A64 / Pine A64 - fixed in 5.1
FSL_ERRATUM_A008585 - Freescale LS2080A/LS1043A - fixed in 4.10
HISILICON_ERRATUM_161010101 - Hisilicon 1610 - fixed in 4.11
ARM64_ERRATUM_858921 - Cortex A73 - fixed in 4.12
255a3f3e18 std: Force `Instant::now()` to be monotonic added a Mutex to work around
this problem and a small test program using glommio shows the majority of time spent
acquiring and releasing this Mutex. 3914a7b0da tries to improve this, but actually
makes it worse on big systems as for 128b atomics a ldxp/stxp pair (and successful loop)
for v8.4 systems that don't support FEAT_LSE2 is required which is expensive as a lock
and because of how the load/store-exclusives scale on large Arm systems is both unfair
to threads and tends to go backwards in performance.
A small sample program using glommio improves by 70x on a 32 core Graviton2
system with this change.
The fuchsia platform is in the process of softly transitioning over to
using a new value for ZX_INFO_PROCESS with a new corresponding struct.
This change migrates libstd.

Add new tier-3 target: armv7-unknown-linux-uclibceabihf
This change adds a new tier-3 target: armv7-unknown-linux-uclibceabihf
This target is primarily used in embedded linux devices where system resources are slim and glibc is deemed too heavyweight. Cross compilation C toolchains are available [here](https://toolchains.bootlin.com/) or via [buildroot](https://buildroot.org).
The change is based largely on a previous PR #79380 with a few minor modifications. The author of that PR was unable to push the PR forward, and graciously allowed me to take it over.
Per the [target tier 3 policy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2803-target-tier-policy.md), I volunteer to be the "target maintainer".
This is my first PR to Rust itself, so I apologize if I've missed things!
Rename `std:🧵:available_conccurrency` to `std:🧵:available_parallelism`
_Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74479_
This PR renames `std:🧵:available_conccurrency` to `std:🧵:available_parallelism`.
## Rationale
The API was initially named `std:🧵:hardware_concurrency`, mirroring the [C++ API of the same name](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/hardware_concurrency). We eventually decided to omit any reference to the word "hardware" after [this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74480#issuecomment-662045841). And so we ended up with `available_concurrency` instead.
---
For a talk I was preparing this week I was reading through ["Understanding and expressing scalable concurrency" (A. Turon, 2013)](http://aturon.github.io/academic/turon-thesis.pdf), and the following passage stood out to me (emphasis mine):
> __Concurrency is a system-structuring mechanism.__ An interactive system that deals with disparate asynchronous events is naturally structured by division into concurrent threads with disparate responsibilities. Doing so creates a better fit between problem and solution, and can also decrease the average latency of the system by preventing long-running computations from obstructing quicker ones.
> __Parallelism is a resource.__ A given machine provides a certain capacity for parallelism, i.e., a bound on the number of computations it can perform simultaneously. The goal is to maximize throughput by intelligently using this resource. For interactive systems, parallelism can decrease latency as well.
_Chapter 2.1: Concurrency is not Parallelism. Page 30._
---
_"Concurrency is a system-structuring mechanism. Parallelism is a resource."_ — It feels like this accurately captures the way we should be thinking about these APIs. What this API returns is not "the amount of concurrency available to the program" which is a property of the program, and thus even with just a single thread is effectively unbounded. But instead it returns "the amount of _parallelism_ available to the program", which is a resource hard-constrained by the machine's capacity (and can be further restricted by e.g. operating systems).
That's why I'd like to propose we rename this API from `available_concurrency` to `available_parallelism`. This still meets the criteria we previously established of not attempting to define what exactly we mean by "hardware", "threads", and other such words. Instead we only talk about "concurrency" as an abstract resource available to our program.

Manual Debug for Unix ExitCode ExitStatus ExitStatusError
These structs have misleading names. An ExitStatus[Error] is actually a Unix wait status; an ExitCode is actually an exit status. These misleading names appear in the `Debug` output.
The `Display` impls on Unix have been improved, but the `Debug` impls are still misleading, as reported in #74832.
Fix this by pretending that these internal structs are called `unix_exit_status` and `unix_wait_status` as applicable. (We can't actually rename the structs because of the way that the cross-platform machinery works: the names are cross-platform.)
After this change, this program
```
#![feature(exit_status_error)]
fn main(){
let x = std::process::Command::new("false").status().unwrap();
dbg!(x.exit_ok());
eprintln!("x={:?}",x);
}
```
produces this output
```
[src/main.rs:4] x.exit_ok() = Err(
ExitStatusError(
unix_wait_status(
256,
),
),
)
x=ExitStatus(unix_wait_status(256))
```
Closes#74832
Remove unnecessary unsafe block in `process_unix`
Because it's nested under this unsafe fn!
This block isn't detected as unnecessary because of a bug in the compiler: #88260.
Restructure std::rt
These changes should reduce binary size slightly while at the same slightly improving performance of startup, thread spawning and `std:🧵:current()`. I haven't verified if the compiler is able to optimize some of these cases already, but at least for some others the compiler is unable to do these optimizations as they slightly change behavior in cases where program startup would crash anyway by omitting a backtrace and panic location.
I can remove 6f6bb16 if preferred.
The reference automatically coerces to a pointer. Writing an explicit
cast here is slightly misleading because that's most commonly used when
a pointer needs to be converted from one pointer type to another, e.g.
`*const c_void` to `*const sigaction` or vice versa.
