Use italics for O notation
In documentation, I think it makes sense to italicize O notation (*O(n)*) as opposed to using back-ticks (`O(n)`). Visually, back-ticks focus the reader on the literal characters being used, making them ideal for representing code. Using italics, as far I can tell, more closely follows typographic conventions in mathematics and computer science.
Just a suggestion, of course! 😇

std: Fix compilation without backtrace feature
This should hopefully handle #74484 but in any case fixes compilation of
the standard library without the `backtrace` feature. The need for this
feature is somewhat unclear now because the `backtrace` crate should
always compile (no more C code!) but we can handle that later if
necessary.

fix documentation surrounding the `in` and `for` keywords
Addresses #74529
The `in` keyword incorrectly referenced the `Iterator` trait. This reference was changed to `IntoIterator` without changing the underlying link.
Additionally, the `IntoIterator` trait was referenced towards the end of the documentation for `for`. An additional reference was added earlier and broadened the existing documentation from any iterator to anything that can be turned into an iterator.

More intra-doc links, add explicit exception list to linkchecker
Fixes the broken links behind #32553
Progress on #32130 and #32129 except for a small number of links. Instead of whitelisting entire files, I've changed the code to whitelist specific links in specific files, and added a comment requesting people explain the reasons they add exceptions. I'm not sure if we should close those issues in favor of the already filed intra-doc link issues.

impl Index<RangeFrom> for CStr
This change implements (partial) slicing for `CStr`.
Since a `CStr` must end in a null byte, it's not possible to trim from the right and still have a valid `CStr`. But, it *is* possible to trim from the left. This lets us be a bit more flexible and treat them more like strings.
```rust
let string = CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(b"Hello World!\0");
let result = CStr::from_bytes_with_nul(b"World!\0");
assert_eq!(&string[6..], result);
```

Add core::task::ready! macro
This PR adds `ready!` as a top-level macro to `libcore` following the implementation of `futures_core::ready`, tracking issue https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/70922. This macro is commonly used when implementing `Future`, `AsyncRead`, `AsyncWrite` and `Stream`. And being only 5 lines, it seems like a useful and straight forward addition to std.
## Example
```rust
use core::task::{Context, Poll};
use core::future::Future;
use core::pin::Pin;
async fn get_num() -> usize {
42
}
pub fn do_poll(cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<()> {
let mut f = get_num();
let f = unsafe { Pin::new_unchecked(&mut f) };
let num = ready!(f.poll(cx));
// ... use num
Poll::Ready(())
}
```
## Naming
In `async-std` we chose to nest the macro under the `task` module instead of having the macro at the top-level. This is a pattern that currently does not occur in std, mostly due to this not being possible prior to Rust 2018.
This PR proposes to add the `ready` macro as `core::ready`. But another option would be to introduce it as `core::task::ready` since it's really only useful when used in conjunction with `task::{Context, Poll}`.
## Implementation questions
I tried rendering the documentation locally but the macro didn't show up under `core`. I'm not sure if I quite got this right. I used the [`todo!` macro PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/56348/files) as a reference, and our approaches look similar.

std: Switch from libbacktrace to gimli
This commit is a proof-of-concept for switching the standard library's
backtrace symbolication mechanism on most platforms from libbacktrace to
gimli. The standard library's support for `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` requires
in-process parsing of object files and DWARF debug information to
interpret it and print the filename/line number of stack frames as part
of a backtrace.
Historically this support in the standard library has come from a
library called "libbacktrace". The libbacktrace library seems to have
been extracted from gcc at some point and is written in C. We've had a
lot of issues with libbacktrace over time, unfortunately, though. The
library does not appear to be actively maintained since we've had
patches sit for months-to-years without comments. We have discovered a
good number of soundness issues with the library itself, both when
parsing valid DWARF as well as invalid DWARF. This is enough of an issue
that the libs team has previously decided that we cannot feed untrusted
inputs to libbacktrace. This also doesn't take into account the
portability of libbacktrace which has been difficult to manage and
maintain over time. While possible there are lots of exceptions and it's
the main C dependency of the standard library right now.
For years it's been the desire to switch over to a Rust-based solution
for symbolicating backtraces. It's been assumed that we'll be using the
Gimli family of crates for this purpose, which are targeted at safely
and efficiently parsing DWARF debug information. I've been working
recently to shore up the Gimli support in the `backtrace` crate. As of a
few weeks ago the `backtrace` crate, by default, uses Gimli when loaded
from crates.io. This transition has gone well enough that I figured it
was time to start talking seriously about this change to the standard
library.
This commit is a preview of what's probably the best way to integrate
the `backtrace` crate into the standard library with the Gimli feature
turned on. While today it's used as a crates.io dependency, this commit
switches the `backtrace` crate to a submodule of this repository which
will need to be updated manually. This is not done lightly, but is
thought to be the best solution. The primary reason for this is that the
`backtrace` crate needs to do some pretty nontrivial filesystem
interactions to locate debug information. Working without `std::fs` is
not an option, and while it might be possible to do some sort of
trait-based solution when prototyped it was found to be too unergonomic.
Using a submodule allows the `backtrace` crate to build as a submodule
of the `std` crate itself, enabling it to use `std::fs` and such.
Otherwise this adds new dependencies to the standard library. This step
requires extra attention because this means that these crates are now
going to be included with all Rust programs by default. It's important
to note, however, that we're already shipping libbacktrace with all Rust
programs by default and it has a bunch of C code implementing all of
this internally anyway, so we're basically already switching
already-shipping functionality to Rust from C.
* `object` - this crate is used to parse object file headers and
contents. Very low-level support is used from this crate and almost
all of it is disabled. Largely we're just using struct definitions as
well as convenience methods internally to read bytes and such.
* `addr2line` - this is the main meat of the implementation for
symbolication. This crate depends on `gimli` for DWARF parsing and
then provides interfaces needed by the `backtrace` crate to turn an
address into a filename / line number. This crate is actually pretty
small (fits in a single file almost!) and mirrors most of what
`dwarf.c` does for libbacktrace.
* `miniz_oxide` - the libbacktrace crate transparently handles
compressed debug information which is compressed with zlib. This crate
is used to decompress compressed debug sections.
* `gimli` - not actually used directly, but a dependency of `addr2line`.
* `adler32`- not used directly either, but a dependency of
`miniz_oxide`.
The goal of this change is to improve the safety of backtrace
symbolication in the standard library, especially in the face of
possibly malformed DWARF debug information. Even to this day we're still
seeing segfaults in libbacktrace which could possibly become security
vulnerabilities. This change should almost entirely eliminate this
possibility whilc also paving the way forward to adding more features
like split debug information.
Some references for those interested are:
* Original addition of libbacktrace - #12602
* OOM with libbacktrace - #24231
* Backtrace failure due to use of uninitialized value - #28447
* Possibility to feed untrusted data to libbacktrace - #21889
* Soundness fix for libbacktrace - #33729
* Crash in libbacktrace - #39468
* Support for macOS, never merged - ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace#2
* Performance issues with libbacktrace - #29293, #37477
* Update procedure is quite complicated due to how many patches we
need to carry - #50955
* Libbacktrace doesn't work on MinGW with dynamic libs - #71060
* Segfault in libbacktrace on macOS - #71397
Switching to Rust will not make us immune to all of these issues. The
crashes are expected to go away, but correctness and performance may
still have bugs arise. The gimli and `backtrace` crates, however, are
actively maintained unlike libbacktrace, so this should enable us to at
least efficiently apply fixes as situations come up.
---
I want to note that my purpose for creating a PR here is to start a conversation about this. I think that all the various pieces are in place that this is compelling enough that I think this transition should be talked about seriously. There are a number of items which still need to be addressed before actually merging this PR, however:
* [ ] `gimli` needs to be published to crates.io
* [ ] `addr2line` needs a publish
* [ ] `miniz_oxide` needs a publish
* [ ] Tests probably shouldn't recommend the `gimli` crate's traits for implementing
* [ ] The `backtrace` crate's branch changes need to be merged to the master branch (https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/pull/349)
* [ ] The support for `libbacktrace` on some platforms needs to be audited to see if we should support more strategies in the gimli implementation - https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/325, https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/326, https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/350, https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/issues/351
Most of the merging/publishing I'm not actively pushing on right now. It's a bit wonky for crates to support libstd so I'm holding off on pulling the trigger everywhere until there's a bit more discussion about how to go through with this. Namely https://github.com/rust-lang/backtrace-rs/pull/349 I'm going to hold off merging until we decide to go through with the submodule strategy.
In any case this is a pretty major change, so I suspect that the compiler team is likely going to be interested in this. I don't mean to force changes by dumping a bunch of code by any means. Integration of external crates into the standard library is so difficult I wanted to have a proof-of-concept to review while talking about whether to do this at all (hence the PR), but I'm more than happy to follow any processes needed to merge this. I must admit though that I'm not entirely sure myself at this time what the process would be to decide to merge this, so I'm hoping others can help me figure that out!

Add lazy initialization primitives to std
Follow-up to #68198
Current RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2788
Rebased and fixed up a few of the dangling comments. Some notes carried over from the previous PR:
- [ ] Naming. I'm ok to just roll with the `Sync` prefix like `SyncLazy` for now, but [have a personal preference for `Atomic`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2788#issuecomment-574466983) like `AtomicLazy`.
- [x] [Poisoning](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2788#discussion_r366725768). It seems like there's [some regret around poisoning in other `std::sync` types that we might want to just avoid upfront for `std::lazy`, especially if that would align with a future `std::mutex` that doesn't poison](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/219381-t-libs/topic/parking_lot.3A.3AMutex.20in.20std/near/190331199). Personally, if we're adding these types to `std::lazy` instead of `std::sync`, I'd be on-board with not worrying about poisoning in `std::lazy`, and potentially deprecating `std::sync::Once` and `lazy_static` in favour of `std::lazy` down the track if it's possible, rather than attempting to replicate their behavior. cc @Amanieu @sfackler.
- [ ] [Consider making`SyncOnceCell::get` blocking](https://github.com/matklad/once_cell/pull/92). There doesn't seem to be consensus in the linked PR on whether or not that's strictly better than the non-blocking variant.
In general, none of these seem to be really blocking an initial unstable merge, so we could possibly kick off a FCP if y'all are happy?
cc @matklad @pitdicker have I missed anything, or were there any other considerations that have come up since we last looked at this?

Bump version to 1.47
This also bumps to a more recent rustfmt version, just to keep us relatively up to date (though almost nothing has changed in rustfmt we use beyond bumps to the parser infra). No formatting changes as a result of this.

Add build support for Cargo's build-std feature.
This makes some changes to the standard library to make it easier to use with Cargo's build-std feature. The primary goal is to make it so that Cargo and its users do not need to know which crates to build and which features to use for every platform.
Conditional cfgs are adjusted so that there is usually a fall-through for unsupported platforms. Additionally, there is a "restricted-std" feature to mark `std` as unstable when used with build-std on no_std platforms. There is no intent to stabilize this feature for the foreseeable future.
This borrows some of the implementation for wasm which already does what this needs. More code sharing can be done with some other platforms (there is a lot of duplication with cloudabi, hermit, and sgx), but I figure that can be done in a future PR.
There are some small changes to stable behavior in this PR:
- `std::env::consts::ARCH` on asmjs now reports "wasm32", to match its actual architecture.
- Some of the wasm error messages for unsupported features report a slightly different error message so that the code can be reused.
There should otherwise not be any changes to how std is built for distribution via bootstrap.
This does not yet support all platforms when used with build-std.
- It doesn't work with 16-bit targets (hashbrown does not support that).
- It does not work with JSON spec targets.
- In particular, all target triple snooping will need to be replaced with appropriate target option checking.
- Switching to gimli (#73441) will make cross-building *much* easier.
- There are still a ton of issues on the Cargo side to resolve. A big one is panic strategy support.
Future PRs are intended to address some of these issues.
