I wrote `state` where I should've used `s`.
This removes the unnecessary `s` variable to prevent that mistake.
Fortunately, this typo didn't affect the correctness of the lock, as the
second half of the condition (!has_writers_waiting) is enough for
correctness, which explains why this mistake didn't show up during
testing.
From reading the source code, it appears like the desired semantic of
std::unix::rand is to always provide some bytes and never block. For
that reason GRND_NONBLOCK is checked before calling getrandom(0), so
that getrandom(0) won't block. If it would block, then the function
falls back to using /dev/urandom, which for the time being doesn't
block. There are some drawbacks to using /dev/urandom, however, and so
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) was created as a replacement for this exact
circumstance.
getrandom(GRND_INSECURE) is the same as /dev/urandom, except:
- It won't leave a warning in dmesg if used at early boot time, which is
a common occurance (and the reason why I found this issue);
- It won't introduce a tiny delay at early boot on newer kernels when
/dev/urandom tries to opportunistically create jitter entropy;
- It only requires 1 syscall, rather than 3.
Other than that, it returns the same "quality" of randomness as
/dev/urandom, and never blocks.
It's only available on kernels ≥5.6, so we try to use it, cache the
result of that attempt, and fall back to to the previous code if it
didn't work.
In the previous implementation, if the standard streams were open,
but the RLIMIT_NOFILE value was below three, the poll would fail
with EINVAL:
> ERRORS: EINVAL The nfds value exceeds the RLIMIT_NOFILE value.
Switch to the existing fcntl based implementation to avoid the issue.
std: directly use pthread in UNIX parker implementation
`Mutex` and `Condvar` are being replaced by more efficient implementations, which need thread parking themselves (see #93740). Therefore we should use the `pthread` synchronization primitives directly. Also, we can avoid allocating the mutex and condition variable because the `Parker` struct is being placed in an `Arc` anyways.
This basically is just a copy of the current `Mutex` and `Condvar` code, which will however be removed (again, see #93740). An alternative implementation could be to use dedicated private `OsMutex` and `OsCondvar` types, but all the other platforms supported by std actually have their own thread parking primitives.
I used `Pin` to guarantee a stable address for the `Parker` struct, while the current implementation does not, rather using extra unsafe declaration. Since the thread struct is shared anyways, I assumed this would not add too much clutter while being clearer.

[fuchsia] Add implementation for `current_exe`
This implementation returns a best attempt at the current exe path. On
fuchsia, fdio will always use `argv[0]` as the process name and if it is
not set then an error will be returned. Because this is not guaranteed
to be the case, this implementation returns an error if `argv` does not
contain any elements.
remove_dir_all_recursive: treat ELOOP the same as ENOTDIR
On older Linux kernels (I tested on 4.4, corresponding to Ubuntu 16.04), opening a symlink using `O_DIRECTORY | O_NOFOLLOW` returns `ELOOP` instead of `ENOTDIR`. We should handle it the same, since a symlink is still not a directory and needs to be `unlink`ed.
This implementation returns a best attempt at the current exe path. On
fuchsia, fdio will always use `argv[0]` as the process name and if it is
not set then an error will be returned. Because this is not guaranteed

contain any elements.
Use a single ReentrantMutex implementation on all platforms.
This replaces all platform specific ReentrantMutex implementations by the one I added in #95727 for Linux, since that one does not depend on any platform specific details.

fix error handling for pthread_sigmask(3)
Errors from `pthread_sigmask(3)` were handled using `cvt()`, which expects a return value of `-1` on error and uses `errno`.
However, `pthread_sigmask(3)` returns `0` on success and an error number otherwise.
Fix it by replacing `cvt()` with `cvt_nz()`.
Use u32 instead of i32 for futexes.
This changes futexes from i32 to u32. The [Linux man page](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/futex.2.html) uses `uint32_t` for them, so I'm not sure why I used i32 for them. Maybe because I first used them for thread parkers, where I used -1, 0, and 1 as the states.
(Wasm's `memory.atomic.wait32` does use `i32`, because wasm doesn't support `u32`.)
It doesn't matter much, but using the unsigned type probably results in fewer surprises when shifting bits around or using comparison operators.
