Gary Guo cb7d9defda rust: compiler_builtins: make stubs non-global
Currently we define a number of stubs for compiler-builtin intrinsics
that compiled libcore generates. The defined stubs are weak so they will
not conflict with genuine implementation of these intrinsics, but their
effect is global and will cause non-libcore code that accidently
generate these intrinsics calls compile and bug on runtime.

Instead of defining a stub that can affect all code, this patch uses
objcopy's `--redefine-sym` flag to redirect these calls (from libcore
only) to a prefixed version (e.g. redirect `__multi3` to `__rust_multi3`),
so we can define panciking stubs that are only visible to libcore.

This patch was previously discussed on GitHub [1]. This approach was also
independently proposed by Nick Desaulniers in [2].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
