rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2
This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust
merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest).
# Context
The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather
than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2]
which do not promise backwards compatibility.
The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for
the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be
stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel
will support is "in the future".
# Upgrade policy
Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be
ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as
possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we
could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading
so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC
and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs.
half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC.
Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly
either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be
able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel
anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead,
kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust
release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones,
especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back /
downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may
not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide
and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks.
Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and
decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of
Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it
over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit

rust: alloc: add Vec::try_with_capacity{,_in}() constructors
Add `Vec::try_with_capacity()` and `Vec::try_with_capacity_in()` as the fallible versions of `Vec::with_capacity()` and `Vec::with_capacity_in()`, respectively. The implementations follow the originals and use the previously added `RawVec::try_with_capacity_in()`. In turn, `Vec::try_with_capacity()` will be used to implement the `CString` type (which wraps a `Vec<u8>`) in a later patch.

rust: alloc: add RawVec::try_with_capacity_in() constructor
Add the `RawVec::try_with_capacity_in()` constructor as the fallible version of `RawVec::with_capacity_in()`. The implementation follows the original. The infallible constructor is implemented in terms of the private `RawVec::allocate_in()` constructor, thus also add the private `RawVec::try_allocate_in()` constructor following the other. It will be used to implement `Vec::try_with_capacity{,_in}()` in the next patch. Reviewed-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> |

rust: adapt alloc crate to the kernel
This customizes the subset of the Rust standard library `alloc` that was just imported as-is, mainly by: - Adding SPDX license identifiers. - Skipping modules (e.g. `rc` and `sync`) via new `cfg`s. - Adding fallible (`try_*`) versions of existing infallible methods (i.e. returning a `Result` instead of panicking). Since the standard library requires stable/unstable attributes, these additions are annotated with: #[stable(feature = "kernel", since = "1.0.0")] Using "kernel" as the feature allows to have the additions clearly marked. The "1.0.0" version is just a placeholder. (At the moment, only one is needed, but in the future more fallible methods will be added).

rust: import upstream alloc crate
This is a subset of the Rust standard library `alloc` crate, version 1.62.0, licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", from: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/1.62.0/library/alloc/src The files are copied as-is, with no modifications whatsoever (not even adding the SPDX identifiers). For copyright details, please see: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/1.62.0/COPYRIGHT The next patch modifies these files as needed for use within the kernel. This patch split allows reviewers to double-check the import and to clearly see the differences introduced. Vendoring `alloc`, at least for the moment, allows us to have fallible allocations support (i.e. the `try_*` versions of methods which return a `Result` instead of panicking) early on. It also gives a bit more freedom to experiment with new interfaces and to iterate quickly. Eventually, the goal is to have everything the kernel needs in upstream `alloc` and drop it from the kernel tree.
