🎯 What: Add malloc, free, memset, memcpy, mmap, and bzero to the JIT symbol allowlist and pre-registration. Also applied some automated clippy fixes in thumb_lower.
💡 Why: To address the temporary workaround in bootstrap_jit_native that only allowed exit, puts, putchar, and printf. JIT compiled code needs memory management functions.
Verification: Ran tests to ensure compilation and existing logic are unaffected.
Result: Memory management functions are now accessible from the JIT runtime.

Note

Medium Risk
Widens which libc entry points JIT code may call; choices are limited to common memory APIs but still affect the security boundary around dynamic symbol resolution.

Overview
Expands the JIT dlsym allowlist and bootstrap_jit_native pre-registration so JIT-linked code can resolve malloc, free, memset, memcpy, mmap, and bzero in addition to the existing termination and debug I/O symbols.

This replaces the narrower bootstrap that only wired exit / puts / putchar / printf, and updates the bootstrap comment to describe I/O plus memory helpers while still excluding shell-execution symbols like system.

P1 Badge Wire the allowlisted symbols into x86_64 JIT calls

On the supported Linux x86_64 JIT path, adding these names here does not make them callable: x86_64_lower.rs:2181-2189 only invokes resolve_native_fn for names returned by jit_stdlib_wrapper, whose mapping contains none of these six symbols. A call such as extern c fn malloc(...) therefore proceeds to an unresolved call rel32(0) instead of calling libc, so the primary host either returns a bogus value or corrupts execution state. The x86_64 lowering needs to resolve raw allowlisted extern names as well.

HOLD for Max/CoS: expands JIT dlsym allowlist (malloc/free/mmap/…). Security-adjacent; rebased/stripped drive-bys only. Needs CoS OK.

P1 Badge Resolve declared externs on the AArch64 JIT path

When an AArch64 JIT program declares one of these symbols normally (for example, extern c fn malloc(size: Int) -> Int;), lower_collect.rs:6-41 includes that empty-body declaration in the function map, while lower_call.rs:47-80 invokes resolve_native_fn only when the target is absent from the map. The call is therefore patched to the compiler-generated empty local function instead of libc, so allocation/copying never occurs despite the new allowlist entry. Exclude extern declarations from local function resolution or resolve their names before the local-function branch.

HOLD for Max — JIT dlsym allowlist adds malloc/free/mmap (spicy/self-host-risky); stripped drive-bys.
