Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "Toolchain and infrastructure: - Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness', 'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and 'ref_as_ptr' These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator, which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes - Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the plural one in the previous cycle 'kernel' crate: - New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing 'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and kernel parameters: warn_on!(value == 42); To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is followed as for the static branch code in order to share the assembly between both C and Rust This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no functional change expected there - 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a 'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an 'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.: /// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue, /// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later. fn print_later(value: Arc) { let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42); } - New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions, with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.: static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4)); static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4)); assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none()); - 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr' Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C, to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add it to the prelude, too - Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one, it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and some other cleanups Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly, and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances - 'dma' module: - Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature - Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result' - Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation' - Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add the corresponding type invariants - Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()' - 'time' module: - Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the 'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source - Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time, depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can check the type matches the timer mode - Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending on the requested sleep time - Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating timestamps - Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the 'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types - Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()' - 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes 'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other simplifications too - 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and require 'into_foreign' to return non-null Remove the 'Either' type as well. It is unused, and we want to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases - 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types to allow them to be used in generic APIs - 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box'; and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec' - 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of 'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it - 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method - 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and 'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment in 'static_lock_class' 'pin-init' crate: - Add 'impl [Pin]Init for Result', so results are now (pin-)initializers - Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()' - New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()' - Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for 'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for '"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments - Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl [Pin]Init for T' to 'impl [Pin]Init for T' - Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()' - Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use '--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two '-next' branches in upstream and the kernel MAINTAINERS: - Add Vlastimil Babka, Liam R.

Prepare for `core::ffi::CStr` taking the place of `kernel::str::CStr` by avoiding methods that only exist on the latter. Also avoid `Deref for CStr` as that impl doesn't exist on `core::ffi::CStr`.

rust: enable `clippy::as_underscore` lint

2025-06-22T21:09:17Z

In Rust 1.63.0, Clippy introduced the `as_underscore` lint [1]: > The conversion might include lossy conversion or a dangerous cast that > might go undetected due to the type being inferred. > > The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always > specifying the type. Always specifying the type is especially helpful in function call contexts where the inferred type may change at a distance. Specifying the type also allows Clippy to spot more cases of `useless_conversion`. The primary downside is the need to specify the type in trivial getters. There are 4 such functions: 3 have become slightly less ergonomic, 1 was revealed to be a `useless_conversion`. While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

rust: enable `clippy::ptr_as_ptr` lint

2025-06-22T21:08:42Z

In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_as_ptr` lint [1]: > Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible, > `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the > pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`. There are a few classes of changes required: - Modules generated by bindgen are marked `#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`. - Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`. - Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::()`. - Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::` according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is required because `(x as *const _).cast::()` results in inference failure. - Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`. - `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing. Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

2025-03-31T00:03:26Z

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "Toolchain and infrastructure: - Extract the 'pin-init' API from the 'kernel' crate and make it into a standalone crate. In order to do this, the contents are rearranged so that they can easily be kept in sync with the version maintained out-of-tree that other projects have started to use too (or plan to, like QEMU). This will reduce the maintenance burden for Benno, who will now have his own sub-tree, and will simplify future expected changes like the move to use 'syn' to simplify the implementation. - Add '#[test]'-like support based on KUnit. We already had doctests support based on KUnit, which takes the examples in our Rust documentation and runs them under KUnit. Now, we are adding the beginning of the support for "normal" tests, similar to those the '#[test]' tests in userspace Rust. For instance: #[kunit_tests(my_suite)] mod tests { #[test] fn my_test() { assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2); } } Unlike with doctests, the 'assert*!'s do not map to the KUnit assertion APIs yet. - Check Rust signatures at compile time for functions called from C by name. In particular, introduce a new '#[export]' macro that can be placed in the Rust function definition. It will ensure that the function declaration on the C side matches the signature on the Rust function: #[export] pub unsafe extern "C" fn my_function(a: u8, b: i32) -> usize { // ... } The macro essentially forces the compiler to compare the types of the actual Rust function and the 'bindgen'-processed C signature. These cases are rare so far. In the future, we may consider introducing another tool, 'cbindgen', to generate C headers automatically. Even then, having these functions explicitly marked may be a good idea anyway. - Enable the 'raw_ref_op' Rust feature: it is already stable, and allows us to use the new '&raw' syntax, avoiding a couple macros. After everyone has migrated, we will disallow the macros. - Pass the correct target to 'bindgen' on Usermode Linux. - Fix 'rusttest' build in macOS. 'kernel' crate: - New 'hrtimer' module: add support for setting up intrusive timers without allocating when starting the timer. Add support for 'Pin>', 'Arc<_>', 'Pin<&_>' and 'Pin<&mut _>' as pointer types for use with timer callbacks. Add support for setting clock source and timer mode. - New 'dma' module: add a simple DMA coherent allocator abstraction and a test sample driver. - 'list' module: make the linked list 'Cursor' point between elements, rather than at an element, which is more convenient to us and allows for cursors to empty lists; and document it with examples of how to perform common operations with the provided methods. - 'str' module: implement a few traits for 'BStr' as well as the 'strip_prefix()' method. - 'sync' module: add 'Arc::as_ptr'. - 'alloc' module: add 'Box::into_pin'. - 'error' module: extend the 'Result' documentation, including a few examples on different ways of handling errors, a warning about using methods that may panic, and links to external documentation. 'macros' crate: - 'module' macro: add the 'authors' key to support multiple authors. The original key will be kept until everyone has migrated. Documentation: - Add error handling sections. MAINTAINERS: - Add Danilo Krummrich as reviewer of the Rust "subsystem". - Add 'RUST [PIN-INIT]' entry with Benno Lossin as maintainer.
