rust: use `#[used(compiler)]` to fix build and `modpost` with Rust >= 1.89.0

2025-07-14T21:30:44Z

Starting with Rust 1.89.0 (expected 2025-08-07), the Rust compiler fails to build the `rusttest` target due to undefined references such as: kernel...-cgu.0:(.text....+0x116): undefined reference to `rust_helper_kunit_get_current_test' Moreover, tooling like `modpost` gets confused: WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in drivers/gpu/drm/nova/nova.o ERROR: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in drivers/gpu/nova-core/nova_core.o The reason behind both issues is that the Rust compiler will now [1] treat `#[used]` as `#[used(linker)]` instead of `#[used(compiler)]` for our targets. This means that the retain section flag (`R`, `SHF_GNU_RETAIN`) will be used and that they will be marked as `unique` too, with different IDs. In turn, that means we end up with undefined references that did not get discarded in `rusttest` and that multiple `.modinfo` sections are generated, which confuse tooling like `modpost` because they only expect one. Thus start using `#[used(compiler)]` to keep the previous behavior and to be explicit about what we want. Sadly, it is an unstable feature (`used_with_arg`) [2] -- we will talk to upstream Rust about it. The good news is that it has been available for a long time (Rust >= 1.60) [3]. The changes should also be fine for previous Rust versions, since they behave the same way as before [4]. Alternatively, we could use `#[no_mangle]` or `#[export_name = ...]` since those still behave like `#[used(compiler)]`, but of course it is not really what we want to express, and it requires other changes to avoid symbol conflicts.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "Toolchain and infrastructure: - KUnit '#[test]'s: - Support KUnit-mapped 'assert!' macros. The support that landed last cycle was very basic, and the 'assert!' macros panicked since they were the standard library ones. Now, they are mapped to the KUnit ones in a similar way to how is done for doctests, reusing the infrastructure there. With this, a failing test like: #[test] fn my_first_test() { assert_eq!(42, 43); } will report: # my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251 Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false # my_first_test.speed: normal not ok 1 my_first_test - Support tests with checked 'Result' return types. The return value of test functions that return a 'Result' will be checked, thus one can now easily catch errors when e.g. using the '?' operator in tests. With this, a failing test like: #[test] fn my_test() -> Result { f()?; Ok(()) } will report: # my_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:321 Expected is_test_result_ok(my_test()) to be true, but is false # my_test.speed: normal not ok 1 my_test - Add 'kunit_tests' to the prelude. - Clarify the remaining language unstable features in use. - Compile 'core' with edition 2024 for Rust >= 1.87. - Workaround 'bindgen' issue with forward references to 'enum' types. - objtool: relax slice condition to cover more 'noreturn' functions. - Use absolute paths in macros referencing 'core' and 'kernel' crates. - Skip '-mno-fdpic' flag for bindgen in GCC 32-bit arm builds. - Clean some 'doc_markdown' lint hits -- we may enable it later on. 'kernel' crate: - 'alloc' module: - 'Box': support for type coercion, e.g. 'Box' to 'Box' if 'T' implements 'U'. - 'Vec': implement new methods (prerequisites for nova-core and binder): 'truncate', 'resize', 'clear', 'pop', 'push_within_capacity' (with new error type 'PushError'), 'drain_all', 'retain', 'remove' (with new error type 'RemoveError'), insert_within_capacity' (with new error type 'InsertError'). In addition, simplify 'push' using 'spare_capacity_mut', split 'set_len' into 'inc_len' and 'dec_len', add type invariant 'len <= capacity' and simplify 'truncate' using 'dec_len'. - 'time' module: - Morph the Rust hrtimer subsystem into the Rust timekeeping subsystem, covering delay, sleep, timekeeping, timers. This new subsystem has all the relevant timekeeping C maintainers listed in the entry. - Replace 'Ktime' with 'Delta' and 'Instant' types to represent a duration of time and a point in time. - Temporarily add 'Ktime' to 'hrtimer' module to allow 'hrtimer' to delay converting to 'Instant' and 'Delta'. - 'xarray' module: - Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a dependency for memory backing feature of the Rust null block driver, which is waiting to be merged. - Set up an entry in 'MAINTAINERS' for the XArray Rust support. Patches will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the Rust subsystem tree for now. - Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the pointer passed to the foreign language. - 'container_of!': retain pointer mut-ness and add a compile-time check of the type of the first parameter ('$field_ptr'). - Support optional message in 'static_assert!'. - Add C FFI types (e.g. 'c_int') to the prelude. - 'str' module: simplify KUnit tests 'format!' macro, convert 'rusttest' tests into KUnit, take advantage of the '-> Result' support in KUnit '#[test]'s. - 'list' module: add examples for 'List', fix path of 'assert_pinned!' (so far unused macro rule). - 'workqueue' module: remove 'HasWork::OFFSET'. - 'page' module: add 'inline' attribute. 'macros' crate: - 'module' macro: place 'cleanup_module()' in '.exit.text' section. 'pin-init' crate: - Add 'Wrapper' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper structs with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell' or 'MaybeUninit'. - Add 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but not error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive 'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs. - Add 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the 'Wrapper' implementations. - Add support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro. - Add support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro. - Upstream dev news: streamline CI, fix some bugs. Add new workflows to check if the user-space version and the one in the kernel tree have diverged. Use the issues tab [1] to track them, which should help folks report and diagnose issues w.r.t.

kcov: rust: add flags for KCOV with Rust

2025-06-01T05:46:12Z

Rust code is currently not instrumented properly when KCOV is enabled. Thus, add the relevant flags to perform instrumentation correctly. This is necessary for efficient fuzzing of Rust code. The sanitizer-coverage features of LLVM have existed for long enough that they are available on any LLVM version supported by rustc, so we do not need any Kconfig feature detection. The coverage level is set to 3, as that is the level needed by trace-pc. We do not instrument `core` since when we fuzz the kernel, we are looking for bugs in the kernel, not the Rust stdlib.

rust: kunit: support KUnit-mapped `assert!` macros in `#[test]`s

2025-05-27T18:07:09Z

The KUnit `#[test]` support that landed recently is very basic and does not map the `assert*!` macros into KUnit like the doctests do, so they panic at the moment. Thus implement the custom mapping in a similar way to doctests, reusing the infrastructure there. In Rust 1.88.0, the `file()` method in `Span` may be stable [1]. However, it was changed recently (from `SourceFile`), so we need to do something different in previous versions. Thus create a helper for it and use it to get the path. With this, a failing test suite like: #[kunit_tests(my_test_suite)] mod tests { use super::*; #[test] fn my_first_test() { assert_eq!(42, 43); } #[test] fn my_second_test() { assert!(42 >= 43); } } will properly map back to KUnit, printing something like: [ 1.924325] KTAP version 1 [ 1.924421] # Subtest: my_test_suite [ 1.924506] # speed: normal [ 1.924525] 1..2 [ 1.926385] # my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251 [ 1.926385] Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false [ 1.928026] # my_first_test.speed: normal [ 1.928075] not ok 1 my_first_test [ 1.928723] # my_second_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:256 [ 1.928723] Expected 42 >= 43 to be true, but is false [ 1.929834] # my_second_test.speed: normal [ 1.929868] not ok 2 my_second_test [ 1.930032] # my_test_suite: pass:0 fail:2 skip:0 total:2 [ 1.930153] # Totals: pass:0 fail:2 skip:0 total Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140514 [1] Reviewed-by: David Gow Acked-by: Danilo Krummrich Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250502215133.1923676-2-ojeda@kernel.org [ Required `KUNIT=y` like for doctests. Used the `cfg_attr` from the TODO comment and clarified its comment now that the stabilization is in beta and thus quite likely stable in Rust 1.88.0. Simplified the `new_body` code by introducing a new variable. Added `#[allow(clippy::incompatible_msrv)]`. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda

rust: compile libcore with edition 2024 for 1.87+

2025-05-25T20:59:47Z

Rust 1.87 (released on 2025-05-15) compiles core library with edition 2024 instead of 2021 [1]. Ensure that the edition matches libcore's expectation to avoid potential breakage. [ J3m3 reported in Zulip [2] that the `rust-analyzer` target was broken after this patch -- indeed, we need to avoid `core-cfgs` since those are passed to the `rust-analyzer` target. So, instead, I tweaked the patch to create a new `core-edition` variable and explicitly mention the `--edition` flag instead of reusing `core-cfg`s. In addition, pass a new argument using this new variable to `generate_rust_analyzer.py` so that we set the right edition there. By the way, for future reference: the `filter-out` change is needed for Rust < 1.87, since otherwise we would skip the `--edition=2021` we just added, ending up with no edition flag, and thus the compiler would default to the 2015 one.

rust: arm: fix unknown (to Clang) argument '-mno-fdpic'

2025-05-22T22:10:52Z

Currently rust on arm fails to compile due to '-mno-fdpic'. This flag disables a GCC feature that we don't want for kernel builds, so let's skip it as it doesn't apply to Clang.

Ben explained [2]: FDPIC is only relevant with no-MMU targets, and then only for userspace. When configured for the arm-*-uclinuxfdpiceabi target, GCC enables FDPIC by default to facilitate compiling userspace programs. FDPIC is never used for the kernel, and we pass -mno-fdpic when building the kernel to override the default and make sure FDPIC is disabled. and [3]: -mno-fdpic disables a GCC feature that we don't want for kernel builds. clang does not support this feature, so it always behaves as though -mno-fdpic is passed. Therefore, it should be fine to mix the two, at least as far as FDPIC is concerned.
