In the command-line argument initialization code, remove the Mutex
around the `ARGV` and `ARGC` variables, and simply check whether
ARGV is non-null before dereferencing it. This way, if either of
ARGV or ARGC is not initialized, we'll get an empty argument list.
This allows simple cdylibs to avoid having
`pthread_mutex_lock`/`pthread_mutex_unlock` appear in their symbol
tables if they don't otherwise use threads.
Add forwarder methods `Stdin::lines` and `Stdin::split`, which consume
and lock a `Stdin` handle, and forward on to the corresponding `BufRead`
methods. This should make it easier for beginners to use those iterator
constructors without explicitly dealing with locks or lifetimes.

Remove unstable `io::Cursor::remaining`
Adding `io::Cursor::remaining` in #86037 caused a conflict with the implementation of `bytes::Buf` for `io::Cursor`, leading to an error in nightly, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86369#issuecomment-867723485.
This fixes the error by temporarily removing the `remaining` function.

[docs] Clarify behaviour of f64 and f32::sqrt when argument is negative zero

Fix linker error
Currently, `fs::hard_link` determines whether platforms have `linkat` based on the OS, and uses `link` if they don't. However, this heuristic does not work well if a platform provides `linkat` on newer versions but not on older ones. On old MacOS, this currently causes a linking error.
This commit fixes `fs::hard_link` by telling it to use `weak!` on macOS. This means that, on that operating system, we now check for `linkat` at runtime and use `link` if it is not available.
Fixes#80804.
`@rustbot` label T-libs-impl
On old macos systems, `fs::hard_link()` will follow symlinks.
This changes the test `symlink_hard_link` to exit early on
these systems, so that tests can pass.
`weak!` is needed in a test in another module. With macros
1.0, importing `weak!` would require reordering module
declarations in `std/src/lib.rs`, which is a bit too
evil.
The way octal literals are written in IP addresses differs from the way
they are written in Rust code, so the way that octal/hex literals in IPs
are written is explictly mentioned.
Use diagnostic items instead of lang items for rfc2229 migrations
This PR removes the `Send`, `UnwindSafe` and `RefUnwindSafe` lang items introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/84730, and uses diagnostic items instead to check for `Send`, `UnwindSafe` and `RefUnwindSafe` traits for RFC2229 migrations.

rewrote documentation for thread::yield_now()
The old documentation suggested the use of yield_now for repeated
polling instead of discouraging it; it also made the false claim that
channels are implemented using yield_now. (They are not, except for
a corner case).
Add Integer::log variants
_This is another attempt at landing https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70835, which was approved by the libs team but failed on Android tests through Bors. The text copied here is from the original issue. The only change made so far is the addition of non-`checked_` variants of the log methods._
_Tracking issue: #70887_
---
This implements `{log,log2,log10}` methods for all integer types. The implementation was provided by `@substack` for use in the stdlib.
_Note: I'm not big on math, so this PR is a best effort written with limited knowledge. It's likely I'll be getting things wrong, but happy to learn and correct. Please bare with me._
## Motivation
Calculating the logarithm of a number is a generally useful operation. Currently the stdlib only provides implementations for floats, which means that if we want to calculate the logarithm for an integer we have to cast it to a float and then back to an int.
> would be nice if there was an integer log2 instead of having to either use the f32 version or leading_zeros() which i have to verify the results of every time to be sure
_— [`@substack,` 2020-03-08](https://twitter.com/substack/status/1236445105197727744)_
At higher numbers converting from an integer to a float we also risk overflows. This means that Rust currently only provides log operations for a limited set of integers.
The process of doing log operations by converting between floats and integers is also prone to rounding errors. In the following example we're trying to calculate `base10` for an integer. We might try and calculate the `base2` for the values, and attempt [a base swap](https://www.rapidtables.com/math/algebra/Logarithm.html#log-rules) to arrive at `base10`. However because we're performing intermediate rounding we arrive at the wrong result:
```rust
// log10(900) = ~2.95 = 2
dbg!(900f32.log10() as u64);
// log base change rule: logb(x) = logc(x) / logc(b)
// log2(900) / log2(10) = 9/3 = 3
dbg!((900f32.log2() as u64) / (10f32.log2() as u64));
```
_[playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=6bd6c68b3539e400f9ca4fdc6fc2eed0)_
This is somewhat nuanced as a lot of the time it'll work well, but in real world code this could lead to some hard to track bugs. By providing correct log implementations directly on integers we can help prevent errors around this.
## Implementation notes
I checked whether LLVM intrinsics existed before implementing this, and none exist yet. ~~Also I couldn't really find a better way to write the `ilog` function. One option would be to make it a private method on the number, but I didn't see any precedent for that. I also didn't know where to best place the tests, so I added them to the bottom of the file. Even though they might seem like quite a lot they take no time to execute.~~

Before this, `std`'s env var getter functions would panic on

return a `None` or `Err` instead.
Remove some doc aliases
As per the new doc alias policy in https://github.com/rust-lang/std-dev-guide/pull/25, this removes some controversial doc aliases:
- `malloc`, `alloc`, `realloc`, etc.
- `length` (alias for `len`)
- `delete` (alias for `remove` in collections and also file/directory deletion)

Stabilize `Seek::rewind()`
This stabilizes `Seek::rewind`. It seemed to fit into one of the existing tests, so I extended that test rather than adding a new one.

aborts: Clarify documentation and comments
In the docs for intrinsics::abort():
* Strengthen the recommendation by to use process::abort instead.
* Document the fact that it sometimes (ab)uses an LLVM debug trap and what the likely consequences are.
* State that the precise behaviour is unstable.
In the docs for process::abort():
* Promise that we have the same behaviour as C `abort()`.
* Document the likely consequences, including, specifically, the consequences on Unix.
In the internal comment for unix::abort_internal:
* Refer to the public docs for the public API functions.
* Correct and expand the description of libc::abort. Specifically:
* Do not claim that abort() unregisters signal handlers. It doesn't; it honours the SIGABRT handler.
* Discuss, extensively, the issue with abort() flushing stdio buffers.
* Describe the glibc behaviour in some detail.

Add std::os::unix::fs::DirEntryExt2::file_name_ref(&self) -> &OsStr
Greetings!
This is my first PR here, so please forgive me if I've missed an important step or otherwise done something wrong. I'm very open to suggestions/fixes/corrections.
This PR adds a function that allows `std::fs::DirEntry` to vend a borrow of its filename on Unix platforms, which is especially useful for sorting. (Windows has (as I understand it) encoding differences that require an allocation.) This new function sits alongside the cross-platform [`file_name(&self) -> OsString`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/struct.DirEntry.html#method.file_name) function.
I pitched this idea in an [internals thread](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/allow-std-direntry-to-vend-borrows-of-its-filename/14328/4), and no one objected vehemently, so here we are.
I understand features in general, I believe, but I'm not at all confident that my whole-cloth invention of a new feature string (as required by the compiler) was correct (or that the name is appropriate). Further, there doesn't appear to be a test for the sibling `ino` function, so I didn't add one for this similarly trivial function either. If it's desirable that I should do so, I'd be happy to [figure out how to] do that.
The following is a trivial sample of a use-case for this function, in which directory entries are sorted without any additional allocations:
```rust
use std::os::unix::fs::DirEntryExt;
use std::{fs, io};
fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let mut entries = fs::read_dir(".")?.collect::<Result<Vec<_>, io::Error>>()?;
entries.sort_unstable_by(|a, b| a.file_name_ref().cmp(b.file_name_ref()));
for p in entries {
println!("{:?}", p);
}
Ok(())
}
```
