Use `std::mem::{size_of, size_of_val, align_of, align_of_val}` from the
prelude instead of importing or qualifying them.
These functions were added to all preludes in Rust 1.80.
* Renames the methods:
* `get_many_mut` -> `get_disjoint_mut`
* `get_many_unchecked_mut` -> `get_disjoint_unchecked_mut`
* Does not rename the feature flag: `get_many_mut`
* Marks the feature as stable
* Renames some helper stuff:
* `GetManyMutError` -> `GetDisjointMutError`
* `GetManyMutIndex` -> `GetDisjointMutIndex`
* `get_many_mut_helpers` -> `get_disjoint_mut_helpers`
* `get_many_check_valid` -> `get_disjoint_check_valid`
This only touches slice methods.
HashMap's methods and feature gates are not renamed here
(nor are they stabilized).
That is, differentiate between out-of-bounds and overlapping indices, and remove the generic parameter `N`.
I also exported `GetManyMutError` from `alloc` (and `std`), which was apparently forgotten.
Changing the error to carry additional details means LLVM no longer generates separate short-circuiting branches for the checks, instead it generates one branch at the end. I therefore changed the code to use early returns to make LLVM generate jumps. Benchmark results between the approaches are somewhat mixed, but I chose this approach because it is significantly faster with ranges and also faster with `unwrap()`.
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.
Improve `Ord` violation help
Recent experience in #128083 showed that the panic message when an Ord violation is detected by the new sort implementations can be confusing. So this PR aims to improve it, together with minor bug fixes in the doc comments for sort*, sort_unstable* and select_nth_unstable*.
Is it possible to get these changes into the 1.81 release? It doesn't change behavior and would greatly help when users encounter this panic for the first time, which they may after upgrading to 1.81.

https://github.com/Voultapher/sort-research-rs/blob/main/writeup/ipnsort_introduction/text.md
Replaces the sort implementations with tailor made ones that strike a
balance of run-time, compile-time and binary-size, yielding run-time and
compile-time improvements. Regressing binary-size for `slice::sort`
while improving it for `slice::sort_unstable`. All while upholding the
existing soft and hard safety guarantees, and even extending the soft
guarantees, detecting strict weak ordering violations with a high chance
and reporting it to users via a panic.
In addition the implementation of `select_nth_unstable` is also adapted
as it uses `slice::sort_unstable` internals.

The implementation for the ToOwned::clone_into method on [T] is a copy
of the code for vec::clone_from. In 361398009be6 the code for
vec::clone_from gained a specialization for when T is Copy. This commit
copies that specialization over to the clone_into implementation.
Unify stable and unstable sort implementations in same core module
This moves the stable sort implementation to the core::slice::sort module. By virtue of being in core it can't access `Vec`. The two `Vec` used by merge sort, `buf` and `runs`, are modelled as custom types that implement the very limited required `Vec` interface with the help of provided allocation and free functions. This is done to allow future re-use of functions and logic between stable and unstable sort. Such as `insert_head`.
This is in preparation of #100856 and #104116. It only moves code, it *doesn't* change any of the sort related logic. This unlocks the ability to share `insert_head`, `insert_tail`, `swap_if_less` `merge` and more.
Tagging ````@Mark-Simulacrum```` I hope this allows progress on #100856, by moving `merge_sort` here I hope future changes will be easier to review.

Make ZST checks in core/alloc more readable
There's a bunch of these checks because of special handing for ZSTs in various unsafe implementations of stuff.
This lets them be `T::IS_ZST` instead of `mem::size_of::<T>() == 0` every time, making them both more readable and more terse.
*Not* proposed for stabilization. Would be `pub(crate)` except `alloc` wants to use it too.
(And while it doesn't matter now, if we ever get something like #85836 making it a const can help codegen be simpler.)

Std module docs improvements
My primary goal is to create a cleaner separation between primitive types and primitive type helper modules (fixes#92777). I also changed a few header lines in other top-level std modules (seen at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/) for consistency.
Some conventions used/established:
* "The \`Box\<T>` type for heap allocation." - if a module mainly provides a single type, name it and summarize its purpose in the module header
* "Utilities for the _ primitive type." - this wording is used for the header of helper modules
* Documentation for primitive types themselves are removed from helper modules
* provided-by-core functionality of primitive types is documented in the primitive type instead of the helper module (such as the "Iteration" section in the slice docs)
I wonder if some content in `std::ptr` should be in `pointer` but I did not address this.
Like we have `add`/`sub` which are the `usize` version of `offset`, this adds the `usize` equivalent of `offset_from`. Like how `.add(d)` replaced a whole bunch of `.offset(d as isize)`, you can see from the changes here that it's fairly common that code actually knows the order between the pointers and *wants* a `usize`, not an `isize`.
As a bonus, this can do `sub nuw`+`udiv exact`, rather than `sub`+`sdiv exact`, which can be optimized slightly better because it doesn't have to worry about negatives. That's why the slice iterators weren't using `offset_from`, though I haven't updated that code in this PR because slices are so perf-critical that I'll do it as its own change.
This is an intrinsic, like `offset_from`, so that it can eventually be allowed in CTFE. It also allows checking the extra safety condition -- see the test confirming that CTFE catches it if you pass the pointers in the wrong order.
Remove `#[rustc_deprecated]`
This removes `#[rustc_deprecated]` and introduces diagnostics to help users to the right direction (that being `#[deprecated]`). All uses of `#[rustc_deprecated]` have been converted. CI is expected to fail initially; this requires #95958, which includes converting `stdarch`.
I plan on following up in a short while (maybe a bootstrap cycle?) removing the diagnostics, as they're only intended to be short-term.
