Add libc definitions for Megaton-Hammer, a Switch Homebrew toolchain
I'm working on a pure-rust toolchain to write homebrew for the Nintendo Switch called [Megaton-Hammer](http://github.com/megatonhammer/megaton-hammer). I'm hoping to get those definitions upstreamed to simplify my life :).
This toolchain does not depend on a C compiler or a libc (it reimplements everything in rust) - but given many crates in the Rust ecosystem rely on the libc crate for the definition of various common types, this is what I came up with.
I was wondering what a good target triple would be ? I currently gate the implementation behind `target_os = "switch"`, but if this goes upstream I figure that might cause trouble for people using the Nintendo SDK (they might already be using `target_os = "switch"` for some things). Would it be better to go with `target_env = "megatonhammer"`?
Bump version to 0.2.43
Would be nice to have the new align feature from #1044 available for general use. But mostly I want this released since I have problems using the align feature for a PR on libstd, and I suspect it's somehow because I try to use an unpublished libc (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/52872).
illumos epoll_event struct should be packed
While attempting to run `cargo test` within the mio crate on illumos I noticed a number of the tests fail. Digging into the various epoll calls I discovered that the epoll_event struct was misaligned due to extra padding. The fix is to pack the epoll_event struct with the same compiler setting that the linux variant is using.
A simple rust example that demonstrates the issue:
```rust
extern crate libc;
use libc::epoll_event;
use std::mem;
fn main() {
println!("{}", mem::size_of::<u64>());
println!("{}", mem::size_of::<epoll_event>());
}
```
Running the above code on Linux results in:
```
8
12
```
while on illumos it currently results in:
```
8
16
```
Looking at the `test_close_on_drop` test from mio I traced the `epoll_ctl`
calls and saw the following:
```
[root@rustdev ~/src/mio]# dtrace -wn 'pid$target::epoll_ctl:entry {this->ev = arg3; printf("%d\n", arg2); print((struct epoll_event *)this->ev); stop()}' -c "/root/src/mio/target/debug/deps/test-109e1422fb40f621 test_close_on_drop"
dtrace: description 'pid$target::epoll_ctl:entry ' matched 1 probe
dtrace: allowing destructive actions

^[[A 6 92874 epoll_ctl:entry 7

```
I dumped each of the epoll_event's with mdb:
```
[root@rustdev ~/src/mio]# mdb -Fp 219856
Loading modules: [ libumem.so.1 libc.so.1 ]

data = {

fd = 0xfffffc7f
u32 = 0xfffffc7f
u64 = 0xfffffffffffffc7f
}
}

fd = 0
u32 = 0
u64 = 0
}
}

data = {

fd = 0
u32 = 0
u64 = 0x100000000
}
}
```
The output from the last two `epoll_event`'s represent `Token(0)` the Client and `Token(1)` from the mio test. The first one however is from `AWAKEN` which is defined as `usize::MAX`. This value should be 18446744073709551615. However if we convert the hex value we see something else:
```
> 0xfffffffffffffc7f=E
18446744073709550719
```
Because of the extra 4 bytes of padding currently present in the illumos `epoll_event` definition the low order bits are picking up some junk from other memory.
All of the poll-related mio tests pass with this change. Two other tests are still failing, which appears to be caused by an OS bug, not a problem with mio or libc.
Add libc definitions for HermitCore (https://hermitcore.org)
HermitCore is based on lwIP, newlib, and pthread-embedded.
Some definitions are similar to other targets using newlib, however some are different enough to justify an own "hermit" port and not base on the existing "newlib" port.
Add alignment feature and use #[repr(align(x))]
Trying to solve #1042.
Here I introduce the discussed feature that will allow going from struct alignment with a private `__align` field to using `#[repr(align(x))]`. However, I have not implemented it for all structs that require alignment yet, only `in6_addr`. This because I did not want to spend too much time before we have discussed and solved the remaining questions regarding this.
One thing to discuss is testing. I have so far not done anything to the CI scripts. So currently they will still test the crate only with the `align` feature disabled. Thus they will make sure the `__align` fields are still correct. But no automatic tests make sure everything is correct when the `align` feature is turned on. What do we want to do about that? Can we insert another `cargo test` with `--features align` to make all the Travis jobs run the test suite twice, or will that slow things down too much?
I have tried using this version of libc in rustc and the standard library. And successfully changed `Ipv6Addr::new` to not use any `unsafe` and to become a `const fn`. Whether or not we want that is out of scope for this PR, but my point was that the changes introduced with this PR allow much more flexible usage of the libc structs that have alignment.
