We already have a LICENSE file that covers the Zig Standard Library. We
no longer need to remind everyone that the license is MIT in every single
file.
Previously this was introduced to clarify the situation for a fork of
Zig that made Zig's LICENSE file harder to find, and replaced it with
their own license that required annual payments to their company.
However that fork now appears to be dead. So there is no need to
reinforce the copyright notice in every single file.
The atfork handler is executed even when fork()-ing threads that have
never initialized their local csprng. Handle this case gracefully
instead of raising a runtime error.
Fixes#8841
Some libc implementations (glib) deduplicate identical hooks, others
(musl, macos) do not and blindly append them to an internal list.
Ensure there's only a single call to pthread_atfork to prevent unbounded
memory use when lots of threads/forks are used.

We're going to want to improve the stage2 test harness to print
the source file name when a compile error occurs otherwise std lib
contributors are going to see some confusing CI failures when they cause
stage2 AstGen compile errors.
Let mmap allocate a block of memory that's wide enough to use with
MADV_WIPEONFORK, madvise granularity is the current system page size
(using a static buffer of mem.page_size bytes would be wrong, that's the
minimum page size).
As a result, we don't zero some random chunk of memory every time we
fork the process.
Fixes#7609
Don't use the instantiation argument types to build the function
parameter array.
f416535768fc30195cad6cd481f73fd1e80082aa worked around the problem, this
commit solves it.
Everybody gets what they want!
* AT_RANDOM is completely ignored.
* On Linux, MADV_WIPEONFORK is used to provide fork safety.
* On pthread systems, `pthread_atfork` is used to provide fork safety.
* For systems that do not have the capability to provide fork safety,
the implementation falls back to calling getrandom() every time.
* If madvise is unavailable or returns an error, or pthread_atfork
fails for whatever reason, it falls back to calling getrandom() every
time.
* Applications may choose to opt-out of fork safety.
* Applications may choose to opt-in to unconditionally calling
getrandom() for every call to std.crypto.random.fillFn.
* Added `std.meta.globalOption`.
* Added `std.os.madvise` and related bits.
* Bumped up the size of the main thread TLS buffer. See the comment
there for justification.
* Simpler hot path in TLS initialization.
* get rid of the pointless fences
* make seed_len 16 instead of 32, which is accurate since it was
already padding the rest anyway; now we do 1 pad instead of 2.
* secureZero to clear the AT_RANDOM auxval
* add a flag root source files can use to disable the start code. This
is in case people want to opt out of the initialization when they
don't depend on it.
std.crypto.random
* cross platform, even freestanding
* can't fail. on initialization for some systems requires calling
os.getrandom(), in which case there are rare but theoretically
possible errors. The code panics in these cases, however the
application may choose to override the default seed function and then
handle the failure another way.
* thread-safe
* supports the full Random interface
* cryptographically secure
* no syscall required to initialize on Linux (AT_RANDOM)
* calls arc4random on systems that support it
`std.crypto.randomBytes` is removed in favor of `std.crypto.random.bytes`.
I moved some of the Random implementations into their own files in the
interest of organization.
stage2 no longer requires passing a RNG; instead it uses this API.
Closes#6704
