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 commit adds the necessary definitions for target specs and such as well as
the necessary support in libstd to compile basic `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc`
binaries. The target is not currently built on CI, but it can be built locally
with:
./configure --target=aarch64-pc-windows-msvc --set rust.lld
./x.py build src/libstd --target aarch64-pc-windows-msvc
Currently this fails to build `libtest` due to a linker bug (seemingly in LLD?)
which hasn't been investigate yet. Otherwise though with libstd you can build a
hello world program (linked with LLD). I've not tried to execute it yet, but it
at least links!
Full support for this target is still a long road ahead, but this is hopefully a
good stepping stone to get started.
Points of note about this target are:
* Currently defaults to `panic=abort` as support is still landing in LLVM for
SEH on AArch64.
* Currently defaults to LLD as a linker as I was able to get farther with it
than I was with `link.exe`

PR #47252 switched stack inspection functions of dbghelp.dll
to their newer alternatives that also capture inlined context.
Unfortunately, said new alternatives are not present in older
dbghelp.dll versions.
In particular Windows 7 at the time of writing has dbghelp.dll
version 6.1.7601 from 2010, that lacks StackWalkEx and friends.
Fixes #50138

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`.

Like #43008 (f668999), but _much more aggressive_.
|
|
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` prints all the informations (old behaviour)
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=(0|no)` disables the backtrace.
- `RUST_BACKTRACE=<everything else>` (including `1`) shows a simplified
backtrace, without the function addresses and with cleaned filenames
and symbols. Also removes some unneded frames at the beginning and the
end.
Fixes #37783.
PR is #38165.
