Fix typos in floating-point primitive type docs
Fixes a few typos. Also reflows the text of a couple of paragraphs in the source code to the standard line width to make the source easier to read (will have no effect on the rendered documentation).
exit: explain our expectations for the exit handlers registered in a Rust program
This documents the position of ``@Amanieu`` and others in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126600: a library with an atexit handler that destroys state that other threads could still be working on is buggy. We do not consider it acceptable for a library to say "you must call the following cleanup function before exiting from `main` or calling `exit`". I don't know if this is established ``@rust-lang/libs-api`` consensus so I presume this will have to go through FCP.
Given that Rust supports concurrency, I don't think there is any way to write a sound Rust wrapper around a library that has such a required cleanup function: even if we made `exit` unsafe, and the Rust wrapper used the scope-with-callback approach to ensure it can run cleanup code before returning from the wrapper (like `thread::scope`), one could still call this wrapper in a second thread and then return from `main` while the wrapper runs. Making this sound would require `std` to provide a way to "block" returning from `main`, so that while the wrapper runs returning from `main` waits until the wrapper is done... that just doesn't seem feasible.
The `exit` docs do not seem like the best place to document this, but I also couldn't think of a better one.
make it possible to enable const_precise_live_drops per-function
This makes const_precise_live_drops work with rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable so that we can stabilize individual functions that rely on const_precise_live_drops.
The goal is that we can use that to stabilize some of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67441 without having to stabilize const_precise_live_drops.

Add Trusty OS as tier 3 target
This PR adds support for the [Trusty secure operating system](https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/trusty) as a Tier 3 supported target. This upstreams [the patch that we have been using](https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:external/rust/crates/libc/patches/trusty.patch;l=1;drc=122e586e93a534160230dc10ae3474cf31dd8f7f) internally. This also revives https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103895 which was closed due to inactivity, and is being resumed now that time allows.
And MCP has already been done for adding this platform: rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/568
# Target Tier Policy Acknowledgements
> A tier 3 target must have a designated developer or developers (the "target maintainers") on record to be CCed when issues arise regarding the target. (The mechanism to track and CC such developers may evolve over time.)

> Targets must use naming consistent with any existing targets; for instance, a target for the same CPU or OS as an existing Rust target should use the same name for that CPU or OS. Targets should normally use the same names and naming conventions as used elsewhere in the broader ecosystem beyond Rust (such as in other toolchains), unless they have a very good reason to diverge. Changing the name of a target can be highly disruptive, especially once the target reaches a higher tier, so getting the name right is important even for a tier 3 target.
The two new Trusty targets, `aarch64-unknown-trusty` and `armv7-unknown-trusty` both follow the existing naming convention for similar targets.
> Target names should not introduce undue confusion or ambiguity unless absolutely necessary to maintain ecosystem compatibility. For example, if the name of the target makes people extremely likely to form incorrect beliefs about what it targets, the name should be changed or augmented to disambiguate it.
👍
> Tier 3 targets may have unusual requirements to build or use, but must not create legal issues or impose onerous legal terms for the Rust project or for Rust developers or users.
There are no known legal issues or license incompatibilities.
> Neither this policy nor any decisions made regarding targets shall create any binding agreement or estoppel by any party. If any member of an approving Rust team serves as one of the maintainers of a target, or has any legal or employment requirement (explicit or implicit) that might affect their decisions regarding a target, they must recuse themselves from any approval decisions regarding the target's tier status, though they may otherwise participate in discussions.
👍
> Tier 3 targets should attempt to implement as much of the standard libraries as possible and appropriate (core for most targets, alloc for targets that can support dynamic memory allocation, std for targets with an operating system or equivalent layer of system-provided functionality), but may leave some code unimplemented (either unavailable or stubbed out as appropriate), whether because the target makes it impossible to implement or challenging to implement. The authors of pull requests are not obligated to avoid calling any portions of the standard library on the basis of a tier 3 target not implementing those portions.
This PR only adds the targets for the platform. `std` support will be added once platform support is added to the libc crate, which depends on the language targets being added to rustc.
> The target must provide documentation for the Rust community explaining how to build for the target, using cross-compilation if possible. If the target supports running binaries, or running tests (even if they do not pass), the documentation must explain how to run such binaries or tests for the target, using emulation if possible or dedicated hardware if necessary.
👍
> Tier 3 targets must not impose burden on the authors of pull requests, or other developers in the community, to maintain the target. In particular, do not post comments (automated or manual) on a PR that derail or suggest a block on the PR based on a tier 3 target. Do not send automated messages or notifications (via any medium, including via ``@)`` to a PR author or others involved with a PR regarding a tier 3 target, unless they have opted into such messages.
👍
> Patches adding or updating tier 3 targets must not break any existing tier 2 or tier 1 target, and must not knowingly break another tier 3 target without approval of either the compiler team or the maintainers of the other tier 3 target.
👍
> Tier 3 targets must be able to produce assembly using at least one of rustc's supported backends from any host target. (Having support in a fork of the backend is not sufficient, it must be upstream.)

rustc: Simplify getting sysroot library directory
It was very non-obvious that `sess.target_tlib_path`, `make_target_lib_path(...)`, and `sess.target_filesearch(...).search_paths()` result in the same sysroot library directory paths.
They are however, indeed the same, because `sess.target_tlib_path` is initialized to `make_target_lib_path(...)` on `Session` creation, and they are used interchangeably.
There are still some redundant calls to `make_target_lib_path` and other inconsistent ways to obtain sysroot directories, but fixing that requires some behavior changes, while this PR is a pure refactoring.
Some places in the compiler even disagree on the number of sysroots - 1 (explicit `--sysroot` *or* default sysroot), 2 (explicit `--sysroot` *and* default sysroot), or an unclear number of `sysroot_candidates` every of which is considered.
The logic currently using `sess.target_tlib_path` or equivalents assumes one sysroot.
miri weak memory emulation: put previous value into initial store buffer
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/issues/2164 by doing a read before each atomic write so that we can initialize the store buffer. The read suppresses memory access hooks and UB exceptions, to avoid otherwise influencing the program behavior. If the read fails, we store that as `None` in the store buffer, so that when an atomic read races with the first atomic write to some memory and previously the memory was uninitialized, we can report UB due to reading uninit memory.
``@cbeuw`` this changes a bit the way we initialize the store buffers. Not sure if you still remember all this code, but if you could have a look to make sure this still makes sense, that would be great. :)

More work on `zstd` compression
r? ``@Kobzol`` as we've discussed this.
This is a draft to show the current approach of supporting zstd in compiletest, and making the tests using it unconditional.
Knowing whether llvm/lld was built with `LLVM_ENABLE_ZSTD` is quite hard, so there are two strategies. There are details in the code, and we can discuss this approach. Until we know the config used to build CI artifacts, it seems our options are somewhat limited in any case.
zlib compression seems always enabled, so we only check this in its dedicated test, allowing the test to ignore errors due to zstd not being supported.
The zstd test is made unconditional in what it tests, by relying on `needs-llvm-zstd` to be ignored when `llvm.libzstd` isn't enabled in `config.toml`.

simd_shuffle intrinsic: allow argument to be passed as vector
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/128738 for context.
I'd like to get rid of [this hack](6c0b89dfac/compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/mir/block.rs (L922-L935)). https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128537 almost lets us do that since constant SIMD vectors will then be passed as immediate arguments. However, simd_shuffle for some reason actually takes an *array* as argument, not a vector, so the hack is still required to ensure that the array becomes an immediate (which then later stages of codegen convert into a vector, as that's what LLVM needs).
This PR prepares simd_shuffle to also support a vector as the `idx` argument. Once this lands, stdarch can hopefully be updated to pass `idx` as a vector, and then support for arrays can be removed, which finally lets us get rid of that hack.
