On `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc`, we often get backtraces which look like
this:
```
10: 0x7ff77e0e9be5 - std::panicking::rust_panic_with_hook
11: 0x7ff77e0e11b4 - std::sys_common::backtrace::__rust_begin_short_backtrace::h5769736bdb11136c
12: 0x7ff77e0e116f - std::sys_common::backtrace::__rust_end_short_backtrace::h61c7ecb1b55338ae
13: 0x7ff77e0f89dd - std::panicking::begin_panic::h8e60ef9f82a41805
14: 0x7ff77e0e108c - d
15: 0x7ff77e0e1069 - c
16: 0x7ff77e0e1059 - b
17: 0x7ff77e0e1049 - a
18: 0x7ff77e0e1039 - core::ptr::drop_in_place<std::rt::lang_start<()>::{{closure}}>::h1bfcd14d5e15ba81
19: 0x7ff77e0e1186 - std::sys_common::backtrace::__rust_begin_short_backtrace::h5769736bdb11136c
20: 0x7ff77e0e100c - std::rt::lang_start::{{closure}}::ha054184bbf9921e3
```
Notice that `__rust_begin_short_backtrace` appears on frame 11 before
`__rust_end_short_backtrace` on frame 12. This is because in typical
release binaries without debug symbols, dbghelp.dll, which we use to walk
and symbolize the stack, does not know where CGU internal functions
start or end and so the closure invoked by `__rust_end_short_backtrace`
is incorrectly described as `__rust_begin_short_backtrace` because it
happens to be near that symbol.
While that can obviously change, this has been happening quite
consistently since #75048. Since this is a very small change to the std
and the change makes sense by itself, I think this is worth doing.
This doesn't completely resolve the situation for release binaries on
Windows, since without debug symbols, the stack printed can still show
incorrect symbol names (this is why the test uses `#[no_mangle]`) but it
does slightly improve the situation in that you see the same backtrace
you would see with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` or in a debugger (without the
uninteresting bits at the top and bottom).
Move `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt` to `std::os`
Moves the `OsStringExt` and `OsStrExt` traits and implementations from `sys_common` to `os`. `sys_common` is for abstractions over `sys` and shouldn't really contain publicly exported items.
This does introduce some duplication: the traits and implementations are now duplicated in `unix`, `wasi`, `hermit`, and `sgx`. However, I would argue that this duplication is no different to how something like `MetadataExt` is duplicated in `linux`, `vxworkx`, `redox`, `solaris` etc. The duplication also matches the fact that the traits on different platforms are technically distinct types: any platform is free to add it's own extra methods to the extension trait.
- Split `sys_common::RWLock` between `StaticRWLock` and `MovableRWLock`
- Unbox `RwLock` on some platforms (Windows, Wasm and unsupported)
- Simplify `RwLock::into_inner`
Windows implementation of feature `path_try_exists`
Draft of a Windows implementation of `try_exists` (#83186).
The first commit reorganizes the code so I would be interested to get some feedback on if this is a good idea or not. It moves the `Path::try_exists` function to `fs::exists`. leaving the former as a wrapper for the latter. This makes it easier to provide platform specific implementations and matches the `fs::metadata` function.
The other commit implements a Windows specific variant of `exists`. I'm still figuring out my approach so this is very much a first draft. Eventually this will need some more eyes from knowledgable Windows people.
Move `std::memchr` to `sys_common`
`std::memchr` is a thin abstraction over the different `memchr` implementations in `sys`, along with documentation and tests. The module is only used internally by `std`, nothing is exported externally. Code like this is exactly what the `sys_common` module is for, so this PR moves it there.
Rework `init` and `cleanup`
This PR reworks the code in `std` that runs before and after `main` and centralizes this code respectively in the functions `init` and `cleanup` in both `sys_common` and `sys`. This makes is easy to see what code is executed during initialization and cleanup on each platform just by looking at e.g. `sys::windows::init`.
Full list of changes:
- new module `rt` in `sys_common` to contain `init` and `cleanup` and the runtime macros.
- `at_exit` and the mechanism to register exit handlers has been completely removed. In practice this was only used for closing sockets on windows and flushing stdout, which have been moved to `cleanup`.
- <s>On windows `alloc` and `net` initialization is now done in `init`, this saves a runtime check in every allocation and network use.</s>
Move `sys_common::poison` to `sync::poison`
`sys_common` should not contain publicly exported types, only platform-independent abstractions on top of `sys`, which `sys_common::poison` is not. There is thus no reason for the module to not live under `sync`.
Part of #84187.
Move `sys_common::rwlock::StaticRWLock` etc. to `sys::unix::rwlock`
This moves `sys_common::rwlock::StaticRwLock`, `RWLockReadGuard` and `RWLockWriteGuard` to `sys::unix::rwlock`. They are already `#[cfg(unix)]` and don't need to be in `sys_common`.
Add internal io::Error::new_const to avoid allocations.
This makes it possible to have a io::Error containing a message with zero allocations, and uses that everywhere to avoid the *three* allocations involved in `io::Error::new(kind, "message")`.
The function signature isn't perfect, because it needs a reference to the `&str`. So for now, this is just a `pub(crate)` function. Later, we'll be able to use `fn new_const<MSG: &'static str>(kind: ErrorKind)` to make that a bit better. (Then we'll also be able to use some ZST trickery if that would result in more efficient code.)

This reverts commit acdca316c3 (#82877) i.e. redoes #81850 since the invalid unlock attempts in the child process have been fixed in #82949
r? `@joshtriplett`
Almost all safety comments are of the form `// SAFETY:`,
so normalize the rest and fix a few of them that should
have been a `/// # Safety` section instead.
Furthermore, make `tidy` only allow the uppercase form. While
currently `tidy` only checks `core`, it is a good idea to prevent
`core` from drifting to non-uppercase comments, so that later
we can start checking `alloc` etc. too.

This also eliminates a use of a `Path` convenience function, in support
of #80741, refactoring `std::path` to focus on pure data structures and
algorithms.
Add fast futex-based thread parker for Windows.
This adds a fast futex-based thread parker for Windows. It either uses WaitOnAddress+WakeByAddressSingle or NT Keyed Events (NtWaitForKeyedEvent+NtReleaseKeyedEvent), depending on which is available. Together, this makes this thread parker work for Windows XP and up. Before this change, park()/unpark() did not work on Windows XP: it needs condition variables, which only exist since Windows Vista.
---
Unfortunately, NT Keyed Events are an undocumented Windows API. However:
- This API is relatively simple with obvious behaviour, and there are several (unofficial) articles documenting the details. [1]
- parking_lot has been using this API for years (on Windows versions before Windows 8). [2] Many big projects extensively use parking_lot, such as servo and the Rust compiler itself.
- It is the underlying API used by Windows SRW locks and Windows critical sections. [3] [4]
- The source code of the implementations of Wine, ReactOs, and Windows XP are available and match the expected behaviour.
- The main risk with an undocumented API is that it might change in the future. But since we only use it for older versions of Windows, that's not a problem.
- Even if these functions do not block or wake as we expect (which is unlikely, see all previous points), this implementation would still be memory safe. The NT Keyed Events API is only used to sleep/block in the right place.

The choice of fallback API is inspired by parking_lot(_core), but the implementation of this thread parker is different. While parking_lot has no use for a fast path (park() directly returning if unpark() was already called), this implementation has a fast path that returns without even checking which waiting/waking API to use, as the same atomic variable with compatible states is used in all cases.
