Reduce the chances of compilation failures due to integer type
mismatches in `CondVar`.
When an integer is defined using a #define in C, bindgen doesn't know
which integer type it is supposed to be, so it will just use `u32` by
default (if it fits in an u32). Whenever the right type is something
else, we insert a cast in Rust. However, this means that the code has a
lot of extra casts, and sometimes the code will be missing casts if u32
happens to be correct on the developer's machine, even though the type
might be something else on a different platform.
This patch updates all uses of such constants in
`rust/kernel/sync/condvar.rs` to use constants defined with the right
type. This allows us to remove various unnecessary casts, while also
future-proofing for the case where `unsigned int != u32` (even though
that is unlikely to ever happen in the kernel).
I wrote this patch at the suggestion of Benno in [1].

Sleep on a condition variable with a timeout.
This is used by Rust Binder for process freezing. There, we want to
sleep until the freeze operation completes, but we want to be able to
abort the process freezing if it doesn't complete within some timeout.
Note that it is not enough to avoid jiffies by introducing a variant of
`CondVar::wait_timeout` that takes the timeout in msecs because we need
to be able to restart the sleep with the remaining sleep duration if it
is interrupted, and if the API takes msecs rather than jiffies, then
that would require a conversion roundtrip jiffies->msecs->jiffies that
is best avoided.

Wake up another thread synchronously.
This method behaves like `notify_one`, except that it hints to the
scheduler that the current thread is about to go to sleep, so it should
schedule the target thread on the same CPU.
This is used by Rust Binder as a performance optimization. When sending
a transaction to a different process, we usually know which thread will
handle it, so we can schedule that thread for execution next on this
CPU for better cache locality.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.74.1 to 1.75.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
The `const_maybe_uninit_zeroed` unstable feature [3] was stabilized in
Rust 1.75.0, which we were using in the PHYLIB abstractions.
The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.
Please see [4] for details.
# Other improvements
Rust 1.75.0 stabilized `pointer_byte_offsets` [5] which we could
potentially use as an alternative for `ptr_metadata` in the future.
# Required changes
For this upgrade, no changes were required (i.e. on our side).
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

- Suppress searching builtin sysroot to avoid confusion with installed
sysroots, needed for the to-be-merged arm64 support which uses
a builtin target.
- Ignore '__preserve_most' functions for 'bindgen'.
- Reduce header inclusion bloat in exports.
'kernel' crate:
- Implement 'Debug' for 'CString'.
- Make 'CondVar::wait()' an uninterruptible wait.
'macros' crate:
- Update 'paste!' to accept string literals.
- Improve '#[vtable]' documentation.

- Add testing section (KUnit and 'rusttest' target).
- Remove 'CC=clang' mentions.
- Clarify that 'rustup override' applies to build directory.

Currently, `CondVar::wait()` is an interruptible wait, and this is
different than `wait_event()` in include/linux/wait.h (which is an
uninterruptible wait). To avoid confusion between different APIs on the

wait same as `wait_event()`, also rename the old `wait()` to
`CondVar::wait_interruptible()`.

Please see [3] for details.
# Other improvements
Rust 1.74.0 allows to use `#[repr(Rust)]` explicitly [4], which can be
useful to be explicit about particular cases that would normally use
e.g. the C representation, such as silencing lints like the upcoming
additions we requested [5] to the `no_mangle_with_rust_abi` Clippy lint
(which in turn triggered the `#[repr(Rust)]` addition).
Rust 1.74.0 includes a fix for one of the false negative cases we reported
in Clippy's `disallowed_macros` lint [6] that we would like to use in
the future.
Rust 1.74.1 fixes an ICE that the Apple AGX GPU driver was hitting [7].

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This macro creates an array of kernel's `struct phy_driver` and
registers it. This also corresponds to the kernel's
`MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE` macro, which embeds the information for module
loading into the module binary file.
A PHY driver should use this macro.

This patch adds abstractions to implement network PHY drivers; the
driver registration and bindings for some of callback functions in
struct phy_driver and many genphy_ functions.
This feature is enabled with CONFIG_RUST_PHYLIB_ABSTRACTIONS=y.
This patch enables unstable const_maybe_uninit_zeroed feature for
kernel crate to enable unsafe code to handle a constant value with
uninitialized data. With the feature, the abstractions can initialize
a phy_driver structure with zero easily; instead of initializing all
the members by hand. It's supposed to be stable in the not so distant
future.

By default, if Rust is passed `--target=foo` rather than a target.json
file, it will infer a default sysroot if that component is installed. As
the proposed aarch64 support [1] uses `aarch64-unknown-none` rather than a
target.json file, this is needed [2] to prevent rustc from being confused
between the custom kernel sysroot and the pre-installed one.
[ Miguel: Applied Boqun's extra case (for `rusttest`) and reworded to add
links to the arm64 patch series discussion. In addition, fixed the
`rustdoc` target too (which requires a conditional since `cmd_rustdoc`
is also used for host crates like `macros`). ]

Traits marked with `#[vtable]` need to provide default implementations
for optional functions. The C side represents these with `NULL` in the
vtable, so the default functions are never actually called. We do not
want to replicate the default behavior from C in Rust, because that is
not maintainable. Therefore we should use `build_error` in those default
implementations. The error message for that is provided at
`kernel::error::VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR`.

Currently, for `const`s that bindgen doesn't recognise, we define a
helper constant with
const <TYPE> BINDINGS_<NAME> = <NAME>;
in `bindings_helper.h` and then we put
pub const <NAME>: <TYPE> = BINDINGS_<NAME>;
in `bindings/lib.rs`. This is fine since we currently only have 3
constants that are defined this way, but is going to be more annoying
when more constants are added since every new constant needs to be
defined in two places.
This patch changes the way we define constant helpers to
const <TYPE> RUST_CONST_HELPER_<NAME> = <NAME>;
and then use `sed` to postprocess Rust code generated by bindgen to
remove the distinct prefix, so users of the `bindings` crate can refer
to the name directly.

Neither bindgen nor Rust know about the preserve-most calling

These functions are only added to the build when list hardening is

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.72.1 to 1.73.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.
Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [3] for details.
# Required changes
For the upgrade, the following changes are required:
- Allow `internal_features` for `feature(compiler_builtins)` since
now Rust warns about using internal compiler and standard library
features (similar to how it also warns about incomplete ones) [4].
- A cleanup for a documentation link thanks to a new `rustdoc` lint.
See previous commits for details.
- A need to make an intra-doc link to a macro explicit, due to a
change in behavior in `rustdoc`. See previous commits for details.
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

Starting with Rust 1.73.0, `rustdoc` detects redundant explicit
links with its new lint `redundant_explicit_links` [1]:

In order to avoid the warning in the compiler upgrade commit,
make it an intra-doc link as the tool suggests.

Currently, rustc defaults to invoking `cc`, even if `HOSTCC` is defined,
resulting in build failures in hermetic environments where `cc` does not
exist. This includes both hostprogs and proc-macros.
Since we are setting the linker to `HOSTCC`, we set the linker flavor to
`gcc` explicitly. The linker-flavor selects both which linker to search
for if the linker is unset, and which kind of linker flags to pass.
Without this flag, `rustc` would attempt to determine which flags to
pass based on the name of the binary passed as `HOSTCC`. `gcc` is the
name of the linker-flavor used by `rustc` for all C compilers, including
both `gcc` and `clang`.

Commit df8fc4e934 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3") enabled
'-fstrict-flex-arrays=3' globally, but bindgen does not recognized this
compiler option, triggering the following build error:
error: unknown argument: '-fstrict-flex-arrays=3', err: true
[ Miguel: Commit df8fc4e934 ("kbuild: Enable -fstrict-flex-arrays=3")
did it so only conditionally (i.e. only if the C compiler supports
it). This explains what Andrea was seeing: he was compiling with a
modern enough GCC, which enables the option, but with an old enough
Clang. Andrea confirmed this was the case: he was using Clang 14 with
GCC 13; and that Clang 15 worked for him.
While it is possible to construct code (see mailing list for an
example I came up with) where this could break, it is fairly
contrived, and anyway GCC-built kernels with Rust enabled should
only be used for experimentation until we get support for
`rustc_codegen_gcc` and/or GCC Rust. So let's add this for the
time being in case it helps somebody. ]
Add '-fstrict-flex-arrays' to the list of cflags that should be ignored
by bindgen.

Clippy triggered a false positive on its `new_ret_no_self` lint
when using the `pin_init!` macro. Since Rust 1.67.0, that does
not happen anymore, since Clippy learnt to not warn about
`-> impl Trait<Self>` [1][2].
The kernel nowadays uses Rust 1.72.1, thus remove the `#[allow]`.

This is the third upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.71.1 to 1.72.1
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.
Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [3] for details.
# Other improvements
Previously, the compiler could incorrectly generate a `.eh_frame`
section under `-Cpanic=abort`. We were hitting this bug when debug
assertions were enabled (`CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`) [4]:
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
ld.lld: error: <internal>:(.eh_frame) is being placed in '.eh_frame'
Gary fixed the issue in Rust 1.72.0 [5].
# Required changes
For the upgrade, the following changes are required:
- A call to `Box::from_raw` in `rust/kernel/sync/arc.rs` now requires
an explicit `drop()` call. See previous patch for details.
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

[ Used 1.72.1 instead of .0 (no changes in `alloc`) and reworded
to mention that we hit the `.eh_frame` bug under debug assertions. ]
Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
`Box::from_raw()` is `#[must_use]`, which means the result cannot
go unused.
In Rust 1.71.0, this was not detected because the block expression
swallows the diagnostic [1]:
unsafe { Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()) };
It would have been detected, however, if the line had been instead:
unsafe { Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()); }
i.e. the semicolon being inside the `unsafe` block, rather than
outside.
In Rust 1.72.0, the compiler started warning about this [2], so
without this patch we will get:
error: unused return value of `alloc::boxed::Box::<T>::from_raw` that must be used
--> rust/kernel/sync/arc.rs:302:22
|
302 | unsafe { Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()) };
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: call `drop(Box::from_raw(ptr))` if you intend to drop the `Box`
= note: `-D unused-must-use` implied by `-D warnings`
help: use `let _ = ...` to ignore the resulting value
|
302 | unsafe { let _ = Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()); };
| +++++++ +
Thus add an add an explicit `drop()` as the `#[must_use]`'s
annotation suggests (instead of the more general help line).

This adds two examples of how to use the workqueue. The first example
shows how to use it when you only have one `work_struct` field, and the
second example shows how to use it when you have multiple `work_struct`
fields.
