SOLID[1] is an embedded development platform provided by Kyoto
Microcomputer Co., Ltd. This commit introduces a basic Tier 3 support
for SOLID.
# New Targets
The following targets are added:
- `aarch64-kmc-solid_asp3`
- `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabi`
- `armv7a-kmc-solid_asp3-eabihf`
SOLID's target software system can be divided into two parts: an
RTOS kernel, which is responsible for threading and synchronization,
and Core Services, which provides filesystems, networking, and other
things. The RTOS kernel is a μITRON4.0[2][3]-derived kernel based on
the open-source TOPPERS RTOS kernels[4]. For uniprocessor systems
(more precisely, systems where only one processor core is allocated for
SOLID), this will be the TOPPERS/ASP3 kernel. As μITRON is
traditionally only specified at the source-code level, the ABI is
unique to each implementation, which is why `asp3` is included in the
target names.
More targets could be added later, as we support other base kernels
(there are at least three at the point of writing) and are interested
in supporting other processor architectures in the future.
# C Compiler
Although SOLID provides its own supported C/C++ build toolchain, GNU Arm
Embedded Toolchain seems to work for the purpose of building Rust.
# Unresolved Questions
A μITRON4 kernel can support `Thread::unpark` natively, but it's not
used by this commit's implementation because the underlying kernel
feature is also used to implement `Condvar`, and it's unclear whether
`std` should guarantee that parking tokens are not clobbered by other
synchronization primitives.
# Unsupported or Unimplemented Features
Most features are implemented. The following features are not
implemented due to the lack of native support:
- `fs::File::{file_attr, truncate, duplicate, set_permissions}`
- `fs::{symlink, link, canonicalize}`
- Process creation
- Command-line arguments
Backtrace generation is not really a good fit for embedded targets, so
it's intentionally left unimplemented. Unwinding is functional, however.
## Dynamic Linking
Dynamic linking is not supported. The target platform supports dynamic
linking, but enabling this in Rust causes several problems.
- The linker invocation used to build the shared object of `std` is
too long for the platform-provided linker to handle.
- A linker script with specific requirements is required for the
compiled shared object to be actually loadable.
As such, we decided to disable dynamic linking for now. Regardless, the
users can try to create shared objects by manually invoking the linker.
## Executable
Building an executable is not supported as the notion of "executable
files" isn't well-defined for these targets.

This commit intends to fill out some of the remaining pieces of the
C-unwind ABI. This has a number of other changes with it though to move
this design space forward a bit. Notably contained within here is:
* On `panic=unwind`, the `extern "C"` ABI is now considered as "may
unwind". This fixes a longstanding soundness issue where if you
`panic!()` in an `extern "C"` function defined in Rust that's actually
UB because the LLVM representation for the function has the `nounwind`
attribute, but then you unwind.
* Whether or not a function unwinds now mainly considers the ABI of the
function instead of first checking the panic strategy. This fixes a
miscompile of `extern "C-unwind"` with `panic=abort` because that ABI
can still unwind.
* The aborting stub for non-unwinding ABIs with `panic=unwind` has been
reimplemented. Previously this was done as a small tweak during MIR
generation, but this has been moved to a separate and dedicated MIR
pass. This new pass will, for appropriate functions and function
calls, insert a `cleanup` landing pad for any function call that may
unwind within a function that is itself not allowed to unwind. Note
that this subtly changes some behavior from before where previously on
an unwind which was caught-to-abort it would run active destructors in
the function, and now it simply immediately aborts the process.
* The `#[unwind]` attribute has been removed and all users in tests and
such are now using `C-unwind` and `#![feature(c_unwind)]`.
I think this is largely the last piece of the RFC to implement.
Unfortunately I believe this is still not stabilizable as-is because
activating the feature gate changes the behavior of the existing `extern
"C"` ABI in a way that has no replacement. My thinking for how to enable
this is that we add support for the `C-unwind` ABI on stable Rust first,
and then after it hits stable we change the behavior of the `C` ABI.
That way anyone straddling stable/beta/nightly can switch to `C-unwind`
safely.
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
Since android ndk version `r23-beta3`, `libgcc` has been replaced with
`libunwind`. This moves the linking of `libgcc`/`libunwind` into the
`unwind` crate where we check if the system compiler can find
`libunwind` and fall back to `libgcc` if needed.
libunwind fix and cleanup
Fix:
1. "system-llvm-libunwind" now only skip build-script for linux target
2. workaround from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65972 is not needed, upstream fix it in 68c50708d1 ( LLVM 11 )
3. remove code for MSCV and Apple in `compile()`, as they are not used
4. fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/69222 , compile c files and cpp files in different config
5. fix conditional compilation for musl target.
6. fix that x86_64-fortanix-unknown-sgx don't link libunwind built in build-script into rlib
Add license metadata for std dependencies
These five crates are in the dependency tree of `std` but lack license metadata:
- `alloc`
- `core`
- `panic_abort`
- `panic_unwind`
- `unwind`
Querying the dependency tree of `std` is a useful thing to be able to do, since these crates will typically be linked into Rust binaries. Tools show the license fields missing, as seen in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67014#issuecomment-782704534. This PR adds the license field for the five crates, based on the license of the `std` package and this repo as a whole. I also added the `repository` and `descriptions` fields, since those seem useful. For `description`, I copied text from top-level comments for the respective modules - except for `unwind` which has none.
I also note that https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73530 attempted to add license metadata for all crates in this repo, but was rejected because there was question about some of them. I hope that this smaller change, focusing only on the runtime dependencies, will be easier to review.

Whether for Rust's own `target_os`, LLVM's triples, or GNU config's, the
OS-related have fields have been for code running *on* that OS, not code
that is *part* of the OS.
The difference is huge, as syscall interfaces are nothing like
freestanding interfaces. Kernels are (hypervisors and other more exotic
situations aside) freestanding programs that use the interfaces provided
by the hardware. It's *those* interfaces, the ones external to the
program being built and its software dependencies, that are the content
of the target.
For the Linux Kernel in particular, `target_env: "gnu"` is removed for
the same reason: that `-gnu` refers to glibc or GNU/linux, neither of
which applies to the kernel itself.

Thanks @ojeda for catching some things.
