- the old interface between HermitCore and the Rust Standard Library
based on a small C library (newlib)
- remove this interface and call directly the unikernel
- remove the dependency to the HermitCore linker
- use rust-lld as linker
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 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.
set cfg(rustdoc) when rustdoc is running on a crate
When using `#[doc(cfg)]` to document platform-specific items, it's a little cumbersome to get all the platforms' items to appear all at once. For example, the standard library adds `--cfg dox` to rustdoc's command line whenever it builds docs, and the documentation for `#![feature(doc_cfg)]` suggests using a Cargo feature to approximate the same thing. This is a little awkward, because you always need to remember to set `--features dox` whenever you build documentation.
This PR proposes making rustdoc set `#[cfg(rustdoc)]` whenever it runs on a crate, to provide an officially-sanctioned version of this that is set automatically. This way, there's a standardized way to declare that a certain version of an item is specifically when building docs.
To try to prevent the spread of this feature from happening too quickly, this PR also restricts the use of this flag to whenever `#![feature(doc_cfg)]` is active. I'm sure there are other uses for this, but right now i'm tying it to this feature. (If it makes more sense to give this its own feature, i can easily do that.)
As a start, the port uses the simplest possible configuration (no jemalloc, abort on panic)
and makes use of existing Unix-specific code wherever possible.
It adds targets for x86_64 (current main HermitCore platform) and aarch64 (HermitCore platform
under development).
Together with the patches to "liblibc" and "llvm", this enables HermitCore applications to be
written in Rust.
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!
As suggested in the discussion of PR #43972, std should provide a uniform API to
all platforms. Since there's no networking on L4Re, this now is a module in
`sys::net` providing types and functions/methods returning an error for each
action.
This commit adds the needed modifications to compile the std crate
for the L4 Runtime environment (L4Re).
A target for the L4Re was introduced in commit:
c151220a84
In many aspects implementations for linux also apply for the L4Re
microkernel.
Two uncommon characteristics had to be resolved:
* L4Re has no network funktionality
* L4Re has a maximum stacksize of 1Mb for threads
Co-authored-by: Sebastian Humenda <sebastian.humenda@tu-dresden.de>
* Match definition of c_char in os/raw.rs with the libc definition
Due to historic reasons, os/raw.rs redefines types for c_char from
libc, but these didn't match. Now they do :).
* Enable signal reset on exec for L4Re
L4Re has full signal emulation and hence it needs to reset the
signal set of the child with sigemptyset. However, gid and uid
should *not* be set.
This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/197
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

but keep them enabled by default to maintain the status quo.
When disabled shaves ~56KB off every x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
binary.
To disable backtraces you have to use a config.toml (see
src/bootstrap/config.toml.example for details) when building rustc/std:
$ python bootstrap.py --config=config.toml
Although the set of APIs being stabilized this release is relatively small, the
trains keep going! Listed below are the APIs in the standard library which have
either transitioned from unstable to stable or those from unstable to
deprecated.
Stable
* `BTreeMap::{append, split_off}`
* `BTreeSet::{append, split_off}`
* `Cell::get_mut`
* `RefCell::get_mut`
* `BinaryHeap::append`
* `{f32, f64}::{to_degrees, to_radians}` - libcore stabilizations mirroring past
libstd stabilizations
* `Iterator::sum`
* `Iterator::product`
Deprecated
* `{f32, f64}::next_after`
* `{f32, f64}::integer_decode`
* `{f32, f64}::ldexp`
* `{f32, f64}::frexp`
* `num::One`
* `num::Zero`
Added APIs (all unstable)
* `iter::Sum`
* `iter::Product`
* `iter::Step` - a few methods were added to accomodate deprecation of One/Zero
Removed APIs
* `From<Range<T>> for RangeInclusive<T>` - everything about `RangeInclusive` is
unstable

The Gecko folks currently use Android API level 9 for their builds, so they're
requesting that we move back our minimum supported API level from 18 to 9. Turns
out, ABI-wise at least, there's not that many changes we need to take care of.
The `ftruncate64` API appeared in android-12 and the `log2` and `log2f` APIs
appeared in android-18. We can have a simple shim for `ftruncate64` which falls
back on `ftruncate` and the `log2` function can be approximated with just
`ln(f) / ln(2)`.
This should at least get the standard library building on API level 9, although
the tests aren't quite happening there just yet. As we seem to be growing a
number of Android compatibility shims, they're now centralized in a common
`sys::android` module.
Here's another go at adding emscripten support. This needs to wait again on new [libc definitions](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/libc/pull/122) landing. To get the libc definitions right I had to add support for i686-unknown-linux-musl, which are very similar to emscripten's, which are derived from arm/musl.
This branch additionally removes the makefile dependency on the `EMSCRIPTEN` environment variable by not building the unused compiler-rt.
Again, this is not sufficient for actually compiling to asmjs since it needs additional LLVM patches.
