Instead, pass the environment to execvpe, so the kernel can apply it directly to the new process. This avoids a use-after-free in the case where exec'ing the new process fails for any reason, as well as a race condition if there are other threads alive during the exec.
These were showing up in tests and in binaries but are trivially optimize-able
away, so add `#[inline]` attributes so LLVM has an opportunity to optimize them
out.
The expected behavior is that the environment's PATH should be used
to find the process. posix_spawn() could be used if we iterated
PATH to search for the binary to execute. For now just skip
posix_spawn() if PATH is modified.
This commit adds a disabled builder which will run all tests for the standard
library for aarch64 in a QEMU instance. Once we get enough capacity to run this
on Travis this can be used to boost our platform coverage of AArch64
`Stdio` now implements `From<ChildStdin>`, `From<ChildStdout>`,
`From<ChildStderr>`, and `From<File>`.
The `Command::stdin`/`stdout`/`stderr` methods now take any type that
implements `Into<Stdio>`.
This makes it much easier to write shell-like command chains, piping to
one another and redirecting to and from files. Otherwise one would need
to use the unsafe and OS-specific `from_raw_fd` or `from_raw_handle`.
This commit adds support to the build system to execute test suites that cannot
run natively but can instead run inside of a QEMU emulator. A proof-of-concept
builder was added for the `arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` target to show off how
this might work.
In general the architecture is to have a server running inside of the emulator
which a local client connects to. The protocol between the server/client
supports compiling tests on the host and running them on the target inside the
emulator.
