It's purely internal, and not intended to be a public API, even on
nightly. This stops it showing up and being misleading in rustdoc
search.
It also mirrors the (also internal) `core::slice::sort` module.
Add some track_caller info to precondition panics
Currently, when you encounter a precondition check, you'll always get the caller location of the implementation of the precondition checks. But with this PR, you'll be told the location of the invalid call. Which is useful.
I thought of this while looking at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129642#issuecomment-2311703898.
The changes to `tests/ui/const*` happen because the const-eval interpreter skips `#[track_caller]` frames in its backtraces.
The perf implications of this are:
* Increased debug binary sizes. The caller_location implementation requires that the additional data we want to display here be stored in const allocations, which are deduplicated but not across crates. There is no impact on optimized build sizes. The panic path and the caller location data get optimized out.
* The compile time hit to opt-incr-patched bitmaps happens because the patch changes the line number of some function calls with precondition checks, causing us to go from 0 dirty CGUs to 1 dirty CGU.
* The other compile time hits are marginal but real, and due to doing a handful of new queries. Adding more useful data isn't completely free.
Implement a lint for implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference - take 2
*[t-lang nomination comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123239#issuecomment-2727551097)*
This PR aims at implementing a lint for implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference, it is based on #103735 with suggestion and improvements from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103735#issuecomment-1370420305.
The goal is to catch cases like this, where the user probably doesn't realise it just created a reference.
```rust
pub struct Test {
data: [u8],
}
pub fn test_len(t: *const Test) -> usize {
unsafe { (*t).data.len() } // this calls <[T]>::len(&self)
}
```
Since #103735 already went 2 times through T-lang, where they T-lang ended-up asking for a more restricted version (which is what this PR does), I would prefer this PR to be reviewed first before re-nominating it for T-lang.
----
Compared to the PR it is as based on, this PR adds 3 restrictions on the outer most expression, which must either be:
1. A deref followed by any non-deref place projection (that intermediate deref will typically be auto-inserted)
2. A method call annotated with `#[rustc_no_implicit_refs]`.
3. A deref followed by a `addr_of!` or `addr_of_mut!`. See bottom of post for details.
There are several points that are not 100% clear to me when implementing the modifications:
- ~~"4. Any number of automatically inserted deref/derefmut calls." I as never able to trigger this. Am I missing something?~~ Fixed
- Are "index" and "field" enough?

Move `select_unpredictable` to the `hint` module
There has been considerable discussion in both the ACP (rust-lang/libs-team#468) and tracking issue (#133962) about whether the `bool::select_unpredictable` method should be in `core::hint` instead.
I believe this is the right move for the following reasons:
- The documentation explicitly says that it is a hint, not a codegen guarantee.
- `bool` doesn't have a corresponding `select` method, and I don't think we should be adding one.
- This shouldn't be something that people reach for with auto-completion unless they specifically understand the interactions with branch prediction. Using conditional moves can easily make code *slower* by preventing the CPU from speculating past the condition due to the data dependency.
- Although currently `core::hint` only contains no-ops, this isn't a hard rule (for example `unreachable_unchecked` is a bit of a gray area). The documentation only status that the module contains "hints to compiler that affects how code should be emitted or optimized". This is consistent with what `select_unpredictable` does.
Remove unsafe `split_at_unchecked` and `split_at_mut_unchecked`
in some slice `split_first_chunk`/`split_last_chunk` methods.
Replace those calls with the safe `split_at` and `split_at_checked` where
applicable.
Add codegen tests to check for no panics when calculating the last
chunk index using `checked_sub` and `split_at`
Remove `#[cfg(not(test))]` gates in `core`
These gates are unnecessary now that unit tests for `core` are in a separate package, `coretests`, instead of in the same files as the source code. They previously prevented the two `core` versions from conflicting with each other.
library: Use `size_of` from the prelude instead of imported
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.

remove some unnecessary rustc_const_unstable
If the function is anyway unstable, it doesn't need to be `rustc_const_unstable`.
`copy_from_slice` turns out to not do anything const-unstable itself, we just haven't stably committed to it being available in const yet. See [here](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/stability.html?highlight=rustc_const_stable_indirect) for more details on the `rustc_const_stable_indirect` attribute.
* 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).
Improve `select_nth_unstable` documentation clarity
* Instead uses `before` and `after` variable names in the example
where `greater` and `lesser` are flipped.
* Uses `<=` and `>=` instead of "less than or equal to" and "greater
than or equal to" to make the docs more concise.
* General attempt to remove unnecessary words and be more precise. For
example it seems slightly wrong to say "its final sorted position",
since this implies there is only one sorted position for this element.
