add aarch64_unknown_nto_qnx700 target - QNX 7.0 support for aarch64le

[nyurik]

This backports the QNX 7.1 aarch64 implementation to 7.0.

• required -lregex disabled, see Disable libregex for QNX 7.0 libc#3775 (released in libc 0.2.156)
• uses libgcc.a instead of libgcc_s.so (7.0 used ancient GCC 5.4 which didn't have gcc_s)
• a fix in backtrace crate to support stack traces Add QNX NTO platform support backtrace-rs#648

This PR bumps libc dependency to 0.2.158

CC: to the folks who did the initial implementation: @flba-eb, @gh-tr, @jonathanpallant, @japaric

Compile target

Note that until qnx700 gets properly released, use BOOTSTRAP_SKIP_TARGET_SANITY=1

# Configure qcc build environment
source _path_/_to_/qnx7.0/qnxsdp-env.sh

# Tell rust to use qcc when building QNX 7.0 targets
export build_env='
    BOOTSTRAP_SKIP_TARGET_SANITY=1
    CC_aarch64-unknown-nto-qnx700=qcc
    CFLAGS_aarch64-unknown-nto-qnx700=-Vgcc_ntoaarch64le_cxx
    CXX_aarch64-unknown-nto-qnx700=qcc
    AR_aarch64_unknown_nto_qnx700=ntoaarch64-ar'

# Build rust compiler, libs, and the remote test server
env $build_env ./x.py build \
  --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,aarch64-unknown-nto-qnx700 \
  rustc library/core library/alloc library/std src/tools/remote-test-server

rustup toolchain link stage1 build/host/stage1

Compile "hello world"

source _path_/_to_/qnx7.0/qnxsdp-env.sh

cargo new hello_world
cd hello_world
cargo +stage1 build --release --target aarch64-unknown-nto-qnx700

Configure a remote for testing

Do this from a new shell - we will need to run more commands in the previous one. I ran into these two issues, and found some workarounds.

• Temporary dir might not work properly
• Default remote-test-server has issues binding to an address

# ./remote-test-server
starting test server
thread 'main' panicked at src/tools/remote-test-server/src/main.rs:175:29:
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Os { code: 249, kind: AddrNotAvailable, message: "Can't assign requested address" }
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Specifying --bind param actually fixes that, and so does setting TMPDIR properly.

# Copy remote-test-server to remote device. You may need to use sftp instead.
# ATTENTION: Note that the path is different from the one in the remote testing documentation for some reason
scp ./build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1-tools-bin/remote-test-server  qnxdevice:/path/

# Connect to the remote device to start the remote tester
# The port forwarding (-L) is only needed if the device is not accessible directly via TCP/IP.
# Port forwarding allows the tester to connect to the local port instead
ssh -L 12345:127.0.0.1:12345 qnxdevice

# on the device, run
rm -rf tmp && mkdir -p tmp && TMPDIR=$PWD/tmp ./remote-test-server --bind 0.0.0.0:12345

Run test suit

Assume all previous environment variables are still set, or re-init them

export TEST_DEVICE_ADDR="localhost:12345"

# tidy needs to be skipped due to using un-published libc dependency
export exclude_tests='
    --exclude src/bootstrap
    --exclude src/tools/error_index_generator
    --exclude src/tools/linkchecker
    --exclude src/tools/tidy
    --exclude tests/ui-fulldeps
    --exclude rustc
    --exclude rustdoc
    --exclude tests/run-make-fulldeps'

env $build_env ./x.py test  $exclude_tests --stage 1 --target aarch64-unknown-nto-qnx700

Perf collector seems messed up atm, cf. https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/247081-t-compiler.2Fperformance/topic/Weird.20perf.20results

I agree. My guess is the "performance regression" is only measurement noise as adding an additional target should not have any (measurable) performance impact. The only change which is not limited to the QNX Neutrino (nto) OS is upgrading the libc crate.

[jieyouxu]

AFAICT currently the perf bot results really isn't indicating much of anything because perf history got messed up since #129714 (regression, improvement or unchanged), even if your changes are perf-significant. Nothing to do here without another perf run after fixing the perf bot.

[jieyouxu]

Since the perf collector seems to have been repaired,

@bors try @rust-timer queue

Awaiting bors try build completion.

Each commit hash can only be benchmarked once, so I don't think what you're looking for here is going to happen.

[lqd]

The significance thresholds have been updated on the collector. That is, even if the posted GH summary didn't change, the linked results have been updated.

And I'm pretty sure deep-vector was noisy at the time (and was "fixed" in the next merge). As mentioned earlier, this PR was unlikely to have introduced a regression anyways, other than incidentally via the libc bump, and that didn't happen.

I don't think anyone needs to spend more time on this, @jieyouxu, if you wanted to have updated results. We can mark this as triaged IMO, @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged

[nyurik]

It seems changes to supported platforms are part of relnotes, so adding the right label.
