Clarify example in docs of str::char_slice
Just a one word improvement.
“Last” can be misread as meaning the last (third) instead of the previous (first).
docs: Correct terminology in std::cmp
This PR is the result of some discussions on URLO:
* [Traits in `std::cmp` and mathematical terminology](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/traits-in-std-cmp-and-mathematical-terminology/69887)
* [Are poker hands `Ord` or `PartialOrd`?](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/are-poker-hands-ord-or-partialord/82644)
Arguably, the documentation currently isn't very precise regarding mathematical terminology. This can lead to misunderstandings of what `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, and `Ord` actually do.
While I believe this PR doesn't give any new API guarantees, it expliclitly mentions that `PartialEq::eq(a, b)` may return `true` for two distinct values `a` and `b` (i.e. where `a` and `b` are not equal in the mathematical sense). This leads to the consequence that `Ord` may describe a weak ordering instead of a total ordering.
In either case, I believe this PR should be thoroughly reviewed, ideally by someone with mathematical background to make sure the terminology is correct now, and also to ensure that no unwanted new API guarantees are made.
In particular, the following problems are addressed:
* Some clarifications regarding used (mathematical) terminology:
* Avoid using the terms "total equality" and "partial equality" in favor of "equivalence relation" and "partial equivalence relation", which are well-defined and unambiguous.
* Clarify that `Ordering` is an ordering between two values (and not an order in the mathematical sense).
* Avoid saying that `PartialEq` and `Eq` are "equality comparisons" because the terminology "equality comparison" could be misleading: it's possible to implement `PartialEq` and `Eq` for other (partial) equivalence relations, in particular for relations where `a == b` for some `a` and `b` even when `a` and `b` are not the same value.
* Added a section "Strict and non-strict partial orders" to document that the `<=` and `>=` operators do not correspond to non-strict partial orders.
* Corrected section "Corollaries" in documenation of `Ord` in regard to `<` only describing a strict total order in cases where `==` conforms to mathematical equality.
* ~~Added a section "Weak orders" to explain that `Ord` may also describe a weak order or total preorder, depending on how `PartialEq::eq` has been implemented.~~ (Removed, see [comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103046#issuecomment-1279929676))
* Made documentation easier to understand:
* Explicitly state at the beginning of `PartialEq`'s documentation comment that implementing the trait will provide the `==` and `!=` operators.
* Added an easier to understand rule when to implement `Eq` in addition to `PartialEq`: "if it’s guaranteed that `PartialEq::eq(a, a)` always returns `true`."
* Explicitly mention in documentation of `Eq` that the properties "symmetric" and "transitive" are already required by `PartialEq`.
core library: Disable fpmath tests for i586 ...
This patch disables the floating-point epsilon test for i586 since x87 registers are too imprecise and can't produce the expected results.

Works around #115199 by temporarily disabling CFI for core and std CFI
violations to allow the user rebuild and use both core and std with CFI
enabled using the Cargo build-std feature.
Adapt `todo!` documentation to mention displaying custom values
Resolves#116130.
I copied from the [existing documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.unimplemented.html) for `unimplemented!` more or less directly, down to the example trait used. I also took the liberty of fixing some formatting and typographical errors that I noticed.
Replace 'mutex' with 'lock' in RwLock documentation
When copying the documentation for `clear_poison` from Mutex, not every occurence of 'mutex' was replaced with 'lock'.
Improve UdpSocket documentation
I tried working with `UdpSocket` and ran into `EINVAL` errors with no clear indication of what causes the error. Also, it was uncharacteristically hard to figure this module out, compared to other Rust `std` modules.
1. `send` and `send_to` return a `usize` This one is just clarity. Usually, returned `usize`s indicate that the buffer might have only been sent partially. This is not the case with UDP. Since that `usize` must always be `buffer.len()`, I have documented that.
2. `bind` limits `connect` and `send_to` When you bind to a limited address space like localhost, you can only `connect` to addresses in that same address space. Error kind: `AddrNotAvailable`.
3. `connect`ing to localhost locks you to localhost On Linux, if you first `connect` to localhost, subsequent `connect`s to
non-localhost addresses fail. Error kind: `InvalidInput`.
For debugging the third one, it was really hard to find someone else who already had that problem. I only managed to find this thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg159519.html
Add `must_use` on pointer equality functions
`ptr == ptr` (like all use of `==`) has a similar warning, and these functions are simple convenience wrappers over that.
Add missing #[inline] on AsFd impl for sys::unix::fs::File
This operation should be extremely cheap, at most the `mov` of the underlying file descriptor, but due to this missing `#[inline]` it is currently a function call.
Correct misleading std::fmt::Binary example (#116165)
Nothing too crazy...
- Add two to the width specifier (so all 32 bits are correctly displayed)
- Pad out the compared string so the assert passes
- Add `// Note` comment highlighting the need for the extra width when using the `#` flag.
The exact contents (and placement?) of the note are, of course, highly bikesheddable.
Add track_caller attribute to Result::unwrap_or_else
Fixes issue where panics in unwrap_or_else callbacks marked with the `track_caller` attribute appear as errors in core.
Stdio support for UEFI
- Uses Simple Text Output Protocol and Simple Text Input Protocol
- Reading is done one character at a time
- Writing is done with max 4096 characters
# Quirks
## Output Newline
- UEFI uses CRLF for newline. So when running the application in UEFI shell (qemu VGA), the output of `println` looks weird.
- However, since the UEFI shell supports piping output, I am unsure if doing any output post-processing is a good idea. UEFI shell `cat` command seems to work fine with just LF.
## Input Newline
- `Stdin.read_line()` method is broken in UEFI shell. Pressing enter seems to be read as CR, which means LF is never encountered.
- Works fine with input redirection from file.

Document that Instant may or may not include system-suspend time
Since people are still occasionally surprised by this let's make it more explicit. This doesn't add any new guarantees, only documents the status quo.
