Contributions summary:Adam primarily contributed to the `stdarch` repository, focusing on the low-level aspects of Rust's standard library related to architecture-specific APIs and runtime feature detection. Their commits involved updating and improving aarch64 linux feature detection, removing unnecessary directives, and replacing the `crypto` feature with `aes` in generated intrinsics for aarch64. Furthermore, they made changes to the `std_detect` crate, specifically stabilizing the `is_aarch64_feature_detected!` macro under the `simd_aarch64` feature and splitting the `pauth` feature. These changes likely involved modifying architecture-specific code and build configurations.
