42fae4e3b8 [wasi-common]: yanix now returns io::Error directly (#1242)
* Yanix now returns io::Error

This commit may seem somewhat controversial at first, but hear me
out first. Currently, Yanix would return a custom error that's a
wrapper around three other error types returned by various entities
inside Rust's `libstd`. In particular, Yanix's error type would wrap
`io::Error`, `num::TryFromIntError` and `ffi::NulError`. It turns
out that there is a natural conversion between the first and the last
and provided by the standard library, i.e., `From<ffi::NulError> for io::Error`
is provided. So at the surface it may seem that only the first two
wrapped error types are worth keeping.

Digging a little bit deeper into `libstd`, `num::TryFromIntError`
is essentially speaking only a marker that the integral conversion
went wrong. The struct implementing this error stores a unit type,
and nothing more. It therefore seems like a waste to wrap this
particular error when we could unify everything under `io::Error`.
And so, whenever we perform an int conversion, I suggest we simply
remap the error to `io::Error::from_raw_os_error(libc::EOVERFLOW)`
since this carries a comparable amount of information.

As a result of completely discarding `yanix::Error` custom error type,
we are invariably simplifying `yanix` itself, but also allowing
`wasi-common` to simplify in several places as well.

* Adapt wasi-common to changes in yanix

* Add Cargo.lock

* Unwrap try_into's where possible

* Remove unnecessary type annotation

135a48ca7e wasi-common error cleanup: part 1, yanix (#1226)
* Reuse std::io::Error for raw *nix errno

This commit removes custom `yanix::Errno` and instead (as was
previously suggested) reuses `std::io::Error` to generate and wrap
raw *nix errno value.

* Update wasi-common to use new Yanix error type

This commit updates `wasi-common` to use new way of handling raw
OS error in `yanix`; i.e., via re-use of `std::io::Error` instead
of a custom `Errno` enum.

* Fix formatting

* Unwrap if io::Error created from raw OS error

This commit calls `unwrap` on `err` if that one was created via
`io::Error::last_os_error()`. It also refactors error matching
in several syscalls on the BSD platform (mainly).

51f880f625 Add yanix crate and replace nix with yanix in wasi-common (#649)
* Add yanix crate

This commit adds `yanix` crate as a Unix dependency for `wasi-common`.
`yanix` stands for Yet Another Nix crate and is exactly what the name
suggests: a crate in the spirit of the `nix` crate, but which takes a different
approach, using lower-level interfaces with less abstraction, so that it fits
better with its main use case, implementation of WASI syscalls.

* Replace nix with yanix crate

Having introduced `yanix` crate as an in-house replacement for the
`nix` crate, this commit makes the necessary changes to `wasi-common`
to depend _only_ on `yanix` crate.

* Address review comments

* make `fd_dup` unsafe
* rename `get_fd` to `get_fd_flags`, etc.
* reuse `io::Error::last_os_error()` to get the last errno value

* Address more comments

* make all `fcntl` fns unsafe
* adjust `wasi-common` impl appropriately

* Make all fns operating on RawFd unsafe

* Fix linux build

* Address more comments
