rust: replace `CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr`

2025-10-22T05:47:27Z

`kernel::ffi::CStr` was introduced in commit d126d2380131 ("rust: str: add `CStr` type") in November 2022 as an upstreaming of earlier work that was done in May 2021[0]. That earlier work, having predated the inclusion of `CStr` in `core`, largely duplicated the implementation of `std::ffi::CStr`. `std::ffi::CStr` was moved to `core::ffi::CStr` in Rust 1.64 in September 2022. Hence replace `kernel::str::CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr` to reduce our custom code footprint, and retain needed custom functionality through an extension trait. Add `CStr` to `ffi` and the kernel prelude.

rust: debugfs: Add support for scoped directories

2025-09-10T16:58:29Z

Introduces the concept of a `ScopedDir`, which allows for the creation of debugfs directories and files that are tied to the lifetime of a particular data structure. This ensures that debugfs entries do not outlive the data they refer to. The new `Dir::scope` method creates a new directory that is owned by a `Scope` handle. All files and subdirectories created within this scope are automatically cleaned up when the `Scope` is dropped.

rust: debugfs: Add support for read-only files

2025-09-10T16:58:11Z

Extends the `debugfs` API to support creating read-only files. This is done via the `Dir::read_only_file` method, which takes a data object that implements the `Writer` trait. The file's content is generated by the `Writer` implementation, and the file is automatically removed when the returned `File` handle is dropped.

rust: debugfs: Add initial support for directories

2025-09-10T16:57:43Z

Adds a `debugfs::Dir` type that can be used to create and remove DebugFS directories. The `Dir` handle automatically cleans up the directory on `Drop`.
