This commit removes all in-tree support for generating backtraces in
favor of depending on the `backtrace` crate on crates.io. This resolves
a very longstanding piece of duplication where the standard library has
long contained the ability to generate a backtrace on panics, but the
code was later extracted and duplicated on crates.io with the
`backtrace` crate. Since that fork each implementation has seen various
improvements one way or another, but typically `backtrace`-the-crate has
lagged behind libstd in one way or another.
The goal here is to remove this duplication of a fairly critical piece
of code and ensure that there's only one source of truth for generating
backtraces between the standard library and the crate on crates.io.
Recently I've been working to bring the `backtrace` crate on crates.io
up to speed with the support in the standard library which includes:
* Support for `StackWalkEx` on MSVC to recover inline frames with
debuginfo.
* Using `libbacktrace` by default on MinGW targets.
* Supporting `libbacktrace` on OSX as an option.
* Ensuring all the requisite support in `backtrace`-the-crate compiles
with `#![no_std]`.
* Updating the `libbacktrace` implementation in `backtrace`-the-crate to
initialize the global state with the correct filename where necessary.
After reviewing the code in libstd the `backtrace` crate should be at
exact feature parity with libstd today. The backtraces generated should
have the same symbols and same number of frames in general, and there's
not known divergence from libstd currently.
Note that one major difference between libstd's backtrace support and
the `backtrace` crate is that on OSX the crates.io crate enables the
`coresymbolication` feature by default. This feature, however, uses
private internal APIs that aren't published for OSX. While they provide
more accurate backtraces this isn't appropriate for libstd distributed
as a binary, so libstd's dependency on the `backtrace` crate explicitly
disables this feature and forces OSX to use `libbacktrace` as a
symbolication strategy.
The long-term goal of this refactoring is to eventually move us towards
a world where we can drop `libbacktrace` entirely and simply use Gimli
and the surrounding crates for backtrace support. That's still aways off
but hopefully will much more easily enabled by having the source of
truth for backtraces live in crates.io!
Procedurally if we go forward with this I'd like to transfer the
`backtrace-rs` crate to the rust-lang GitHub organization as well, but I
figured I'd hold off on that until we get closer to merging.

This functionality has lived for a while in the tokio ecosystem, where
it can improve performance by minimizing copies.

Redox: Update to new changes
These are all cherry-picked from our fork:
- Remove the `env:` scheme
- Update `execve` system call to `fexec`
- Interpret shebangs: these are no longer handled by the kernel, which like usual tries to be as minimal as possible
|

This commit deletes the `alloc_system` crate from the standard
distribution. This unstable crate is no longer needed in the modern
stable global allocator world, but rather its functionality is folded
directly into the standard library. The standard library was already the
only stable location to access this crate, and as a result this should
not affect any stable code.

`bad_style` is being deprecated in favor of `nonstandard_style`:

This commit removes usage of the `libc` crate in "portable" modules like
those at the top level and `sys_common`. Instead common types like `*mut
u8` or `u32` are used instead of `*mut c_void` or `c_int` as well as
switching to platform-specific functions like `sys::strlen` instead of
`libc::strlen`.
|
|
This commit moves the `f32::cmath` and `f64::cmath` modules into the
`sys` module. Note that these are not publicly exported modules, simply
implementation details. These modules are already platform-specific with
shims on MSVC and this is mostly just a reflection of that reality. This
should also help cut down on `#[cfg]` traffic if platforms are brought on
which don't directly support these functions.

This commit removes the `rand` crate from the standard library facade as
well as the `__rand` module in the standard library. Neither of these
were used in any meaningful way in the standard library itself. The only
need for randomness in libstd is to initialize the thread-local keys of
a `HashMap`, and that unconditionally used `OsRng` defined in the
standard library anyway.
The cruft of the `rand` crate and the extra `rand` support in the
standard library makes libstd slightly more difficult to port to new
platforms, namely WebAssembly which doesn't have any randomness at all
(without interfacing with JS). The purpose of this commit is to clarify
and streamline randomness in libstd, focusing on how it's only required
in one location, hashmap seeds.
Note that the `rand` crate out of tree has almost always been a drop-in
replacement for the `rand` crate in-tree, so any usage (accidental or
purposeful) of the crate in-tree should switch to the `rand` crate on
crates.io. This then also has the further benefit of avoiding
duplication (mostly) between the two crates!
