Skip stack_start_aligned for immediate-abort This improves startup performance by 16%, shown by an optimized hello-world program. glibc's `pthread_getattr_np` performs expensive syscalls when reading `/proc/self/maps`. That is all wasted with `panic = immediate-abort` active because `init()` immediately discards the return value from `install_main_guard()`. A similar improvement can be seen in environments that don't have `/proc`. This change is safe because the immediately succeeding comment says that we rely on Linux's "own stack-guard mechanism".

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
