Update precondition tests (especially for zero-size access to null)
I don't much like the current way I've updated the precondition check helpers, but I couldn't come up with anything better. Ideas welcome.
I've organized `tests/ui/precondition-checks` mostly with one file per function that has `assert_unsafe_precondition` in it, with revisions that check each precondition. The important new test is `tests/ui/precondition-checks/zero-size-null.rs`.
Stabilize `Pin::as_deref_mut()`
Tracking issue: closes#86918
Stabilizing the following API:
```rust
impl<Ptr: DerefMut> Pin<Ptr> {
pub fn as_deref_mut(self: Pin<&mut Pin<Ptr>>) -> Pin<&mut Ptr::Target>;
}
```
I know that an FCP has not been started yet, but this isn't a very complex stabilization, and I'm hoping this can motivate an FCP to *get* started - this has been pending for a while and it's a very useful function when writing Future impls.

merge const_ipv4 / const_ipv6 feature gate into 'ip' feature gate
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76205 has been closed a while ago, but there are still some functions that reference it. Those functions are all unstable *and* const-unstable. There's no good reason to use a separate feature gate for their const-stability, so this PR moves their const-stability under the same gate as their regular stability, and therefore removes the remaining references to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76205.
core/net: add Ipv[46]Addr::from_octets, Ipv6Addr::from_segments.
Adds:
- `Ipv4Address::from_octets([u8;4])`
- `Ipv6Address::from_octets([u8;16])`
- `Ipv6Address::from_segments([u16;8])`
equivalent to the existing `From` impls.
Advantages:
- Consistent with `to_bits, from_bits`.
- More discoverable than the `From` impls.
- Helps with type inference: it's common to want to convert byte slices to IP addrs. If you try this
```rust
fn foo(x: &[u8]) -> Ipv4Addr {
Ipv4Addr::from(foo.try_into().unwrap())
}
```
it [doesn't work](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=0e2873312de275a58fa6e33d1b213bec). You have to write `Ipv4Addr::from(<[u8;4]>::try_from(x).unwrap())` instead, which is not great. With `from_octets` it is able to infer the right types.
Found this while porting [smoltcp](https://github.com/smoltcp-rs/smoltcp/) from its own IP address types to the `core::net` types.

Optimize `escape_ascii` using a lookup table
Based upon my suggestion here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/125340#issuecomment-2130441817
Effectively, we can take advantage of the fact that ASCII only needs 7 bits to make the eighth bit store whether the value should be escaped or not. This adds a 256-byte lookup table, but 256 bytes *should* be small enough that very few people will mind, according to my probably not incontrovertible opinion.
The generated assembly isn't clearly better (although has fewer branches), so, I decided to benchmark on three inputs: first on a random 200KiB, then on `/bin/cat`, then on `Cargo.toml` for this repo. In all cases, the generated code ran faster on my machine. (an old i7-8700)
But, if you want to try my benchmarking code for yourself:

Stabilize const `ptr::write*` and `mem::replace`
Since `const_mut_refs` and `const_refs_to_cell` have been stabilized, we may now also stabilize the ability to write to places during const evaluation inside our library API. So, we now propose the `const fn` version of `ptr::write` and its variants. This allows us to also stabilize `mem::replace` and `ptr::replace`.
- const `mem::replace`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83164#issuecomment-2338660862
- const `ptr::write{,_bytes,_unaligned}`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/86302#issuecomment-2330275266
Their implementation requires an additional internal stabilization of `const_intrinsic_forget`, which is required for `*::write*` and thus `*::replace`. Thus we const-stabilize the internal intrinsics `forget`, `write_bytes`, and `write_via_move`.
intrinsics fmuladdf{32,64}: expose llvm.fmuladd.* semantics
Add intrinsics `fmuladd{f32,f64}`. This computes `(a * b) + c`, to be fused if the code generator determines that (i) the target instruction set has support for a fused operation, and (ii) that the fused operation is more efficient than the equivalent, separate pair of `mul` and `add` instructions.
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-fmuladd-intrinsic
The codegen_cranelift uses the `fma` function from libc, which is a correct implementation, but without the desired performance semantic. I think this requires an update to cranelift to expose a suitable instruction in its IR.
I have not tested with codegen_gcc, but it should behave the same way (using `fma` from libc).

This topic has been discussed a few times on Zulip and was suggested, for example, by `@workingjubilee` in [Effect of fma disabled](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/Effect.20of.20fma.20disabled/near/274179331).
`IndexRange::len` is justified as an overall invariant, and
`take_prefix` and `take_suffix` are justified by local branch
conditions. A few more UB-checked calls remain in cases that are only
supported locally by `debug_assert!`, which won't do anything in
distributed builds, so those UB checks may still be useful.
We generally expect core's `#![rustc_preserve_ub_checks]` to optimize
away in user's release builds, but the mere presence of that extra code
can sometimes inhibit optimization, as seen in #131563.
Stabilise `const_char_encode_utf8`.
Closes: #130512
This PR stabilises the `const_char_encode_utf8` feature gate (i.e. support for `char::encode_utf8` in const scenarios).
Note that the linked tracking issue is currently awaiting FCP.
Port sort-research-rs test suite to Rust stdlib tests
This PR is a followup to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124032. It replaces the tests that test the various sort functions in the standard library with a test-suite developed as part of https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs. The current tests suffer a couple of problems:
- They don't cover important real world patterns that the implementations take advantage of and execute special code for.
- The input lengths tested miss out on code paths. For example, important safety property tests never reach the quicksort part of the implementation.
- The miri side is often limited to `len <= 20` which means it very thoroughly tests the insertion sort, which accounts for 19 out of 1.5k LoC.
- They are split into to core and alloc, causing code duplication and uneven coverage.
- ~~The randomness is tied to a caller location, wasting the space exploration capabilities of randomized testing.~~ The randomness is not repeatable, as it relies on `std:#️⃣:RandomState::new().build_hasher()`.
Most of these issues existed before https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124032, but they are intensified by it. One thing that is new and requires additional testing, is that the new sort implementations specialize based on type properties. For example `Freeze` and non `Freeze` execute different code paths.
Effectively there are three dimensions that matter:
- Input type
- Input length
- Input pattern
The ported test-suite tests various properties along all three dimensions, greatly improving test coverage. It side-steps the miri issue by preferring sampled approaches. For example the test that checks if after a panic the set of elements is still the original one, doesn't do so for every single possible panic opportunity but rather it picks one at random, and performs this test across a range of input length, which varies the panic point across them. This allows regular execution to easily test inputs of length 10k, and miri execution up to 100 which covers significantly more code. The randomness used is tied to a fixed - but random per process execution - seed. This allows for fully repeatable tests and fuzzer like exploration across multiple runs.
Structure wise, the tests are previously found in the core integration tests for `sort_unstable` and alloc unit tests for `sort`. The new test-suite was developed to be a purely black-box approach, which makes integration testing the better place, because it can't accidentally rely on internal access. Because unwinding support is required the tests can't be in core, even if the implementation is, so they are now part of the alloc integration tests. Are there architectures that can only build and test core and not alloc? If so, do such platforms require sort testing? For what it's worth the current implementation state passes miri `--target mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64` which is big endian.
The test-suite also contains tests for properties that were and are given by the current and previous implementations, and likely relied upon by users but weren't tested. For example `self_cmp` tests that the two parameters `a` and `b` passed into the comparison function are never references to the same object, which if the user is sorting for example a `&mut [Mutex<i32>]` could lead to a deadlock.
Instead of using the hashed caller location as rand seed, it uses seconds since unix epoch / 10, which given timestamps in the CI should be reasonably easy to reproduce, but also allows fuzzer like space exploration.

In my opinion the results don't change iterative library development or CI execution in meaningful ways. For example currently the library doc-tests take ~66s and incremental compilation takes 10+ seconds. However I only have limited knowledge of the various local development workflows that exist, and might be missing one that is significantly impacted by this change.
Add intrinsics `fmuladd{f16,f32,f64,f128}`. This computes `(a * b) +
c`, to be fused if the code generator determines that (i) the target
instruction set has support for a fused operation, and (ii) that the
fused operation is more efficient than the equivalent, separate pair
of `mul` and `add` instructions.
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-fmuladd-intrinsic
MIRI support is included for f32 and f64.
The codegen_cranelift uses the `fma` function from libc, which is a
correct implementation, but without the desired performance semantic. I
think this requires an update to cranelift to expose a suitable
instruction in its IR.
I have not tested with codegen_gcc, but it should behave the same
way (using `fma` from libc).
Stabilize const `{slice,array}::from_mut`
This PR stabilizes the following APIs as const stable as of rust `1.83`:
```rs
// core::array
pub const fn from_mut<T>(s: &mut T) -> &mut [T; 1];
// core::slice
pub const fn from_mut<T>(s: &mut T) -> &mut [T];
```
This is made possible by `const_mut_refs` being stabilized (yay).
Tracking issue: #90206
Rewrite these blobs to explicitly mention the case of a sized operand.
The previous made that seem wrong instead of emphasizing it is nothing
but a simple cast. Instead, the explanation now emphasizes that the
address portion of the argument, together with its provenance, is
discarded which previously had to be inferred by the reader. Then an
example demonstrates a simple line of incorrect usage based on this
idea of provenance.
make Cell unstably const
Now that we can do interior mutability in `const`, most of the Cell API can be `const fn`. :) The main exception is `set`, because it drops the old value. So from const context one has to use `replace`, which delegates the responsibility for dropping to the caller.
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131283
`as_array_of_cells` is itself still unstable to I added the const-ness to the feature gate for that function and not to `const_cell`, Cc #88248.

Stabilize the `map`/`value` methods on `ControlFlow`
And fix the stability attribute on the `pub use` in `core::ops`.
libs-api in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/75744#issuecomment-2231214910 seemed reasonably happy with naming for these, so let's try for an FCP.
Summary:
```rust

pub fn map_break<T>(self, f: impl FnOnce(B) -> T) -> ControlFlow<T, C>;

}
```

Aside, in case it keeps someone else from going down the same dead end: I looked at the `{break,continue}_value` methods and tried to make them `const` as part of this, but that's disallowed because of not having `const Drop`, so put it back to not even unstably-const.
Add `[Option<T>; N]::transpose`
This PR as a new unstable libs API, `[Option<T>; N]::transpose`, which permits going from `[Option<T>; N]` to `Option<[T; N]>`.
This new API doesn't have an ACP as it was directly asked by T-libs-api in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/97601#issuecomment-2372109119:
> [..] but it'd be trivial to provide a helper method `.transpose()` that turns array-of-Option into Option-of-array (**and we think that method should exist**; it already does for array-of-MaybeUninit).

ptr::add/sub: do not claim equivalence with `offset(c as isize)`
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110837, the `offset` intrinsic got changed to also allow a `usize` offset parameter. The intention is that this will do an unsigned multiplication with the size, and we have UB if that overflows -- and we also have UB if the result is larger than `usize::MAX`, i.e., if a subsequent cast to `isize` would wrap. ~~The LLVM backend sets some attributes accordingly.~~
This updates the docs for `add`/`sub` to match that intent, in preparation for adjusting codegen to exploit this UB. We use this opportunity to clarify what the exact requirements are: we compute the offset using mathematical multiplication (so it's no problem to have an `isize * usize` multiplication, we just multiply integers), and the result must fit in an `isize`.
Cc `@rust-lang/opsem` `@nikic`
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130239 updates Miri to detect this UB.
`sub` still has some cases of UB not reflected in the underlying intrinsic semantics (and Miri does not catch): when we subtract `usize::MAX`, then after casting to `isize` that's just `-1` so we end up adding one unit without noticing any UB, but actually the offset we gave does not fit in an `isize`. Miri will currently still not complain for such cases:
```rust
fn main() {
let x = &[0i32; 2];
let x = x.as_ptr();
// This should be UB, we are subtracting way too much.
unsafe { x.sub(usize::MAX).read() };
}
```
However, the LLVM IR we generate here also is UB-free. This is "just" library UB but not language UB.
Cc `@saethlin;` might be worth adding precondition checks against overflow on `offset`/`add`/`sub`?

make ptr metadata functions callable from stable const fn
So far this was done with a bunch of `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable`. But those should be the exception, not the norm. If we are confident we can expose the ptr metadata APIs *indirectly* in stable const fn, we should just mark them as `rustc_const_stable`. And we better be confident we can do that since it's already been done a while ago. ;)
In particular this marks two intrinsics as const-stable: `aggregate_raw_ptr`, `ptr_metadata`. This should be uncontroversial, they are trivial to implement in the interpreter.

This commit is a followup to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124032. It
replaces the tests that test the various sort functions in the standard library
with a test-suite developed as part of
https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs. The current tests suffer a
couple of problems:
- They don't cover important real world patterns that the implementations take
advantage of and execute special code for.
- The input lengths tested miss out on code paths. For example, important safety
property tests never reach the quicksort part of the implementation.
- The miri side is often limited to `len <= 20` which means it very thoroughly
tests the insertion sort, which accounts for 19 out of 1.5k LoC.
- They are split into to core and alloc, causing code duplication and uneven
coverage.
- The randomness is not repeatable, as it
relies on `std:#️⃣:RandomState::new().build_hasher()`.
Most of these issues existed before
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124032, but they are intensified by it.
One thing that is new and requires additional testing, is that the new sort
implementations specialize based on type properties. For example `Freeze` and
non `Freeze` execute different code paths.
Effectively there are three dimensions that matter:
- Input type
- Input length
- Input pattern
The ported test-suite tests various properties along all three dimensions,
greatly improving test coverage. It side-steps the miri issue by preferring
sampled approaches. For example the test that checks if after a panic the set of
elements is still the original one, doesn't do so for every single possible
panic opportunity but rather it picks one at random, and performs this test
across a range of input length, which varies the panic point across them. This
allows regular execution to easily test inputs of length 10k, and miri execution
up to 100 which covers significantly more code. The randomness used is tied to a
fixed - but random per process execution - seed. This allows for fully
repeatable tests and fuzzer like exploration across multiple runs.
Structure wise, the tests are previously found in the core integration tests for
`sort_unstable` and alloc unit tests for `sort`. The new test-suite was
developed to be a purely black-box approach, which makes integration testing the
better place, because it can't accidentally rely on internal access. Because
unwinding support is required the tests can't be in core, even if the
implementation is, so they are now part of the alloc integration tests. Are
there architectures that can only build and test core and not alloc? If so, do
such platforms require sort testing? For what it's worth the current
implementation state passes miri `--target mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64` which
is big endian.
The test-suite also contains tests for properties that were and are given by the
current and previous implementations, and likely relied upon by users but
weren't tested. For example `self_cmp` tests that the two parameters `a` and `b`
passed into the comparison function are never references to the same object,
which if the user is sorting for example a `&mut [Mutex<i32>]` could lead to a
deadlock.
Instead of using the hashed caller location as rand seed, it uses seconds since
unix epoch / 10, which given timestamps in the CI should be reasonably easy to
reproduce, but also allows fuzzer like space exploration.
stabilize const_cell_into_inner
This const-stabilizes
- `UnsafeCell::into_inner`
- `Cell::into_inner`
- `RefCell::into_inner`
- `OnceCell::into_inner`
`@rust-lang/wg-const-eval` this uses `rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(const_precise_live_drops)`, so we'd be comitting to always finding *some* way to accept this code. IMO that's fine -- what these functions do is to move out the only field of a struct, and that struct has no destructor itself. The field's destructor does not get run as it gets returned to the caller.
`@rust-lang/libs-api` this was FCP'd already [years ago](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/78729#issuecomment-811409860), except that `OnceCell::into_inner` was added to the same feature gate since then (Cc `@tgross35).` Does that mean we have to re-run the FCP? If yes, I'd honestly prefer to move `OnceCell` into its own feature gate to not risk missing the next release. (That's why it's not great to add new functions to an already FCP'd feature gate.) OTOH if this needs an FCP either way since the previous FCP was so long ago, then we might as well do it all at once.
Improve Ord docs
- Makes wording more clear and re-structures some sections that can be overwhelming for someone not already in the know.
- Adds examples of how *not* to implement Ord, inspired by various anti-patterns found in real world code.
Many of the wording changes are inspired directly by my personal experience of being confused by the `Ord` docs and seeing other people get it wrong as well, especially lately having looked at a number of `Ord` implementations as part of #128899.

Update `catch_unwind` doc comments for `c_unwind`
Updates `catch_unwind` doc comments to indicate that catching a foreign exception _will no longer_ be UB. Instead, there are two possible behaviors, though it is not specified which one an implementation will choose.
Nominated for t-lang to confirm that they are okay with making such a promise based on t-opsem FCP, or whether they would like to be included in the FCP.
