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.
This is a straightforward wrapper that uses the existing helpers for C
string handling and errno handling.
Having this available is convenient for UNIX utility programs written in
Rust, and avoids having to call unsafe functions like `libc::chown`
directly and handle errors manually, in a program that may otherwise be
entirely safe code.
In addition, these functions provide a more Rustic interface by
accepting appropriate traits and using `None` rather than `-1`.
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) 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.
Use the return value of readdir_r() instead of errno
POSIX says:
> If successful, the readdir_r() function shall return zero; otherwise,
> an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
But we were previously using errno instead of the return value. This
led to issue #86649.

Move `os_str_bytes` to `sys::unix`
Followup to #84967, with `OsStrExt` and `OsStringExt` moved out of `sys_common`, there is no reason anymore for `os_str_bytes` to live in `sys_common` and not in sys. This pr moves it to the location `sys::unix::os_str` and reuses the code on other platforms via `#[path]` (as is common in `sys`) instead of importing.
Change environment variable getters to error recoverably
This PR changes the standard library environment variable getter functions to error recoverably (i.e. not panic) when given an invalid value.
On some platforms, it is invalid for environment variable names to contain `'\0'` or `'='`, or for their values to contain `'\0'`. Currently, the standard library panics when manipulating environment variables with names or values that violate these invariants. However, this behavior doesn't make a lot of sense, at least in the case of getters. If the environment variable is missing, the standard library just returns an error value, rather than panicking. It doesn't make sense to treat the case where the variable is invalid any differently from that. See the [internals thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/why-should-std-var-panic/14847) for discussion. Thus, this PR changes the functions to error recoverably in this case as well.
If desired, I could change the functions that manipulate environment variables in other ways as well. I didn't do that here because it wasn't entirely clear what to change them to. Should they error silently or do something else? If someone tells me how to change them, I'm happy to implement the changes.
This fixes#86082, an ICE that arises from the current behavior. It also adds a regression test to make sure the ICE does not occur again in the future.

Add Linux-specific pidfd process extensions (take 2)
Continuation of #77168.
I addressed the following concerns from the original PR:
- make `CommandExt` and `ChildExt` sealed traits
- wrap file descriptors in `PidFd` struct representing ownership over the fd
- add `take_pidfd` to take the fd out of `Child`
- close fd when dropped
Tracking Issue: #82971
Update VxWork's UNIX support
1. VxWorks does not provide glibc
2. VxWorks does provide `sigemptyset` and `sigaddset`
Note: these changes are concurrent to [this PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/libc/pull/2295) in libc.
Background:
Over the last year, pidfd support was added to the Linux kernel. This
allows interacting with other processes. In particular, this allows
waiting on a child process with a timeout in a race-free way, bypassing
all of the awful signal-handler tricks that are usually required.
Pidfds can be obtained for a child process (as well as any other
process) via the `pidfd_open` syscall. Unfortunately, this requires
several conditions to hold in order to be race-free (i.e. the pid is not
reused).
Per `man pidfd_open`:
```
· the disposition of SIGCHLD has not been explicitly set to SIG_IGN
(see sigaction(2));
· the SA_NOCLDWAIT flag was not specified while establishing a han‐
dler for SIGCHLD or while setting the disposition of that signal to
SIG_DFL (see sigaction(2)); and
· the zombie process was not reaped elsewhere in the program (e.g.,
either by an asynchronously executed signal handler or by wait(2)
or similar in another thread).
If any of these conditions does not hold, then the child process
(along with a PID file descriptor that refers to it) should instead
be created using clone(2) with the CLONE_PIDFD flag.
```
Sadly, these conditions are impossible to guarantee once any libraries
are used. For example, C code runnng in a different thread could call
`wait()`, which is impossible to detect from Rust code trying to open a
pidfd.
While pid reuse issues should (hopefully) be rare in practice, we can do
better. By passing the `CLONE_PIDFD` flag to `clone()` or `clone3()`, we
can obtain a pidfd for the child process in a guaranteed race-free
manner.
This PR:
This PR adds Linux-specific process extension methods to allow obtaining
pidfds for processes spawned via the standard `Command` API. Other than
being made available to user code, the standard library does not make
use of these pidfds in any way. In particular, the implementation of
`Child::wait` is completely unchanged.
Two Linux-specific helper methods are added: `CommandExt::create_pidfd`
and `ChildExt::pidfd`. These methods are intended to serve as a building
block for libraries to build higher-level abstractions - in particular,
waiting on a process with a timeout.
I've included a basic test, which verifies that pidfds are created iff
the `create_pidfd` method is used. This test is somewhat special - it
should always succeed on systems with the `clone3` system call
available, and always fail on systems without `clone3` available. I'm
not sure how to best ensure this programatically.
This PR relies on the newer `clone3` system call to pass the `CLONE_FD`,
rather than the older `clone` system call. `clone3` was added to Linux
in the same release as pidfds, so this shouldn't unnecessarily limit the
kernel versions that this code supports.
Unresolved questions:
* What should the name of the feature gate be for these newly added
methods?
* Should the `pidfd` method distinguish between an error occurring
and `create_pidfd` not being called?
