Fixes a technicality regarding the size of C's `char` type
Specifically, ISO/IEC 9899:2018 — better known as "C18" — (and at least
C11, C99 and C89) do not specify the size of `byte` in bits.
Section 3.6 defines "byte" as "addressable unit of data storage" while
section 6.2.5 ("Types") only defines "char" as "large enough to store
any member of the basic execution set" giving it a lower bound of 7 bit
(since there are 96 characters in the basic execution set).
With section 6.5.3.4 paragraph 4 "When sizeof is applied to an operant
that has type char […] the result is 1" you could read this as the size
of `char` in bits being defined as exactly the same as the number of
bits in a byte but it's also valid to read that as an exception.
In general implementations take `char` as the smallest unit of
addressable memory, which for modern byte-addressed architectures is
overwhelmingly 8 bits to the point of this convention being completely
cemented into just about all of our software.
So is any of this actually relevant at all? I hope not. I sincerely hope
that this never, ever comes up.
But if for some reason a poor rustacean is having to interface with C
code running on a Cray X1 that in 2003 is still doing word-addressed
memory with 64-bit chars and they trust the docs here blindly it will
blow up in her face. And I'll be truly sorry for her to have to deal
with … all of that.
Using it through the crate-local path in `std` means that it shouldn't make an "Implementations on Foreign Types" section in the `std::error::Error` docs.
Add initial support for m68k
This patch series adds initial support for m68k making use of the new M68k
backend introduced with LLVM-13. Additional changes will be needed to be
able to actually use the backend for this target.

Add intra-doc links and small changes to `std::os` to be more consistent
I believe that a few items in `std::os` should be linked. I've also added a basic example in `std::os::windows`.
fix potential race in AtomicU64 time monotonizer
The AtomicU64-based monotonizer introduced in #83093 is incorrect because several threads could try to update the value concurrently and a thread which doesn't have the newest value among all the updates could win.
That bug probably has little real world impact since it doesn't make observed time worse than hardware clocks. The worst case would probably be a thread which has a clock that is behind by several cycles observing several inconsistent fixups, which should be similar to observing the unfiltered backslide in the first place.
New benchmarks, they don't look as good as the original PR but still an improvement compared to the mutex.
I don't know why the contended mutex case is faster now than in the previous benchmarks.

Avoid codegen for Result::into_ok in lang_start
This extra codegen seems to be the cause for the regressions in max-rss on #86034. While LLVM will certainly optimize the dead code away, avoiding it's generation in the first place seems good, particularly when it is so simple.
#86034 produced this [diff](https://gist.github.com/Mark-Simulacrum/95c7599883093af3b960c35ffadf4dab#file-86034-diff) for a simple `fn main() {}`. With this PR, that diff [becomes limited to just a few extra IR instructions](https://gist.github.com/Mark-Simulacrum/95c7599883093af3b960c35ffadf4dab#file-88988-from-pre-diff) -- no extra functions.
Note that these are pre-optimization; LLVM surely will eliminate this during optimization. However, that optimization can end up generating more work and bump memory usage, and this eliminates that.
Allow `panic!("{}", computed_str)` in const fn.
Special-case `panic!("{}", arg)` and translate it to `panic_display(&arg)`. `panic_display` will behave like `panic_any` in cosnt eval and behave like `panic!(format_args!("{}", arg))` in runtime.
This should bring Rust 2015 and 2021 to feature parity in terms of `const_panic`; and hopefully would unblock the stabilisation of #51999.

Add chown functions to std::os::unix::fs to change the owner and group of files
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`.
Add TcpListener::into_incoming and IntoIncoming
The `incoming` method is really useful, however for some use cases the borrow
this introduces is needlessly restricting. Thus, an owned variant is added.
r? ``@joshtriplett``
The RefCell is now borrowed exactly once. In addition a code sequence
that contains an unwrap that is guaranteed to never panic at runtime is
replaced with get_or_insert_with, which makes the intended behavior
clearer and will not emit code to panic even without optimizations.
Previously the thread name would first be heap allocated and then
re-allocated to add a nul terminator. Now it will be heap allocated only
once with nul terminator added form the start.

This works by doing two things:
- Adding links that are specific to the crate. Since not all primitive
items are defined in `core` (due to lang_items), these need to use
relative links and not intra-doc links.
- Duplicating `primitive_docs` in both core and std. This allows not needing CARGO_PKG_NAME to build the standard library. It also adds a tidy check to make sure they stay the same.
As discussed in #88576, raw handle values in Windows can be null, such
as in `windows_subsystem` mode, or when consoles are detached from a
process. So, don't use `NonNull` to hold them, don't assert that they're
not null, and remove `OwnedHandle`'s `repr(transparent)`. Introduce a
new `HandleOrNull` type, similar to `HandleOrInvalid`, to cover the FFI
use case.
