Add initial libstd support for Xous
This patchset adds some minimal support to the tier-3 target `riscv32imac-unknown-xous-elf`. The following features are supported:
* alloc
* thread creation and joining
* thread sleeping
* thread_local
* panic_abort
* mutex
* condvar
* stdout
Additionally, internal support for the various Xous primitives surrounding IPC have been added as part of the Xous FFI. These may be exposed as part of `std::os::xous::ffi` in the future, however for now they are not public.
This represents the minimum viable product. A future patchset will add support for networking and filesystem support.
This commit goes through and updates various `#[cfg]` as appropriate to
get the wasm64-unknown-unknown target behaving similarly to the
wasm32-unknown-unknown target. Most of this is just updating various
conditions for `target_arch = "wasm32"` to also account for `target_arch
= "wasm64"` where appropriate. This commit also lists `wasm64` as an
allow-listed architecture to not have the `restricted_std` feature
enabled, enabling experimentation with `-Z build-std` externally.
The main goal of this commit is to enable playing around with
`wasm64-unknown-unknown` externally via `-Z build-std` in a way that's
similar to the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target. These targets are
effectively the same and only differ in their pointer size, but wasm64
is much newer and has much less ecosystem/library support so it'll still
take time to get wasm64 fully-fledged.
SOLID[1] is an embedded development platform provided by Kyoto
Microcomputer Co., Ltd. This commit introduces a basic Tier 3 support
for SOLID.
# New Targets
The following targets are added:
- `aarch64-kmc-solid_asp3`
- `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabi`
- `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabihf`
SOLID's target software system can be divided into two parts: an
RTOS kernel, which is responsible for threading and synchronization,
and Core Services, which provides filesystems, networking, and other
things. The RTOS kernel is a μITRON4.0[2][3]-derived kernel based on
the open-source TOPPERS RTOS kernels[4]. For uniprocessor systems
(more precisely, systems where only one processor core is allocated for
SOLID), this will be the TOPPERS/ASP3 kernel. As μITRON is
traditionally only specified at the source-code level, the ABI is
unique to each implementation, which is why `asp3` is included in the
target names.
More targets could be added later, as we support other base kernels
(there are at least three at the point of writing) and are interested
in supporting other processor architectures in the future.
# C Compiler
Although SOLID provides its own supported C/C++ build toolchain, GNU Arm
Embedded Toolchain seems to work for the purpose of building Rust.
# Unresolved Questions
A μITRON4 kernel can support `Thread::unpark` natively, but it's not
used by this commit's implementation because the underlying kernel
feature is also used to implement `Condvar`, and it's unclear whether
`std` should guarantee that parking tokens are not clobbered by other
synchronization primitives.
# Unsupported or Unimplemented Features
Most features are implemented. The following features are not
implemented due to the lack of native support:
- `fs::File::{file_attr, truncate, duplicate, set_permissions}`
- `fs::{symlink, link, canonicalize}`
- Process creation
- Command-line arguments
Backtrace generation is not really a good fit for embedded targets, so
it's intentionally left unimplemented. Unwinding is functional, however.
## Dynamic Linking
Dynamic linking is not supported. The target platform supports dynamic
linking, but enabling this in Rust causes several problems.
- The linker invocation used to build the shared object of `std` is
too long for the platform-provided linker to handle.
- A linker script with specific requirements is required for the
compiled shared object to be actually loadable.
As such, we decided to disable dynamic linking for now. Regardless, the
users can try to create shared objects by manually invoking the linker.
## Executable
Building an executable is not supported as the notion of "executable
files" isn't well-defined for these targets.

Move `std::sys::unix::platform` to `std::sys::unix::ext`
This moves the operating system dependent alias `platform` (`std::os::{linux, android, ...}`) from `std::sys::unix` to `std::sys::unix::ext` (a.k.a. `std::os::unix`), removing the need for compatibility code in `unix_ext` when documenting on another platform.
This is also a step in making it possible to properly move `std::sys::unix::ext` to `std::os::unix`, as ideally `std::sys` should not depend on the rest of `std`.
This adds API documentation support for `std::os::wasi` modeled after
how `std::os::unix` works, so that WASI can be documented [here] along
with the other platforms.
[here]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/os/index.html
Two changes of particular interest:
- This changes the `AsRawFd` for `io::Stdin` for WASI to return
`libc::STDIN_FILENO` instead of `sys::stdio::Stdin.as_raw_fd()` (and
similar for `Stdout` and `Stderr`), which matches how the `unix`
version works. `STDIN_FILENO` etc. may not always be explicitly
reserved at the WASI level, but as long as we have Rust's `std` and
`libc`, I think it's reasonable to guarantee that we'll always use
`libc::STDIN_FILENO` for stdin.
- This duplicates the `osstr2str` utility function, rather than
trying to share it across all the configurations that need it.
