Gecko recently had a bug reported [1] with a deadlock in the Rust TLS implementation for Windows. TLS destructors are implemented in a sort of ad-hoc fashion on Windows as it doesn't natively support destructors for TLS keys. To work around this the runtime manages a list of TLS destructors and registers a hook to get run whenever a thread exits. When a thread exits it takes a look at the list and runs all destructors. Unfortunately it turns out that there's a lock which is held when our "at thread exit" callback is run. The callback then attempts to acquire a lock protecting the list of TLS destructors. Elsewhere in the codebase while we hold a lock over the TLS destructors we try to acquire the same lock held first before our special callback is run. And as a result, deadlock! This commit sidesteps the issue with a few small refactorings: * Removed support for destroying a TLS key on Windows. We don't actually ever exercise this as a public-facing API, and it's only used during `lazy_init` during racy situations. To handle that we just synchronize `lazy_init` globally on Windows so we never have to call `destroy`. * With no need to support removal the global synchronized `Vec` was tranformed to a lock-free linked list. With the removal of locks this means that iteration no long requires a lock and as such we won't run into the deadlock problem mentioned above. Note that it's still a general problem that you have to be extra super careful in TLS destructors. For example no code which runs a TLS destructor on Windows can call back into the Windows API to do a dynamic library lookup. Unfortunately I don't know of a great way around that, but this at least fixes the immediate problem that Gecko was seeing which is that with "well behaved" destructors the system would still deadlock!

The bound is not required for compiling but it prevents using `next_token()` from a trait object. Fixesrust-lang#33506.
First deprecated in rustc 1.8.0 the intention was to never allow `-Z` flags make their way to the stable channel (or unstable options). After a year of warnings we've seen one of the main use cases, `-Z no-trans`, stabilized as `cargo check`. Otherwise while other use cases remain the sentiment is that now's the time to start forbidding `-Z` by default on stable/beta. Closesrust-lang#31847

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @alexcrichton (or someone else) soon. If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes. Please see the contribution instructions for more information. |

join method returns a thread::Result Join method returns a std::thread::Result, not a std::result::Result: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/thread/struct.JoinHandle.html#method.join Maybe I misunderstood something. I have seen this mistake(?) because I wanted to tackle this issue rust-lang#29378 (about Result). It's still one of my first PR. Sorry if I missed something.
