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. It has its own sub-tree. - Add sub-tree for 'RUST [ALLOC]'. - Add 'DMA MAPPING HELPERS DEVICE DRIVER API [RUST]' entry with Abdiel Janulgue as primary maintainer.

rust: lockdep: Use Pin for all LockClassKey usages

2025-03-07T23:55:04Z

Reintroduce dynamically-allocated LockClassKeys such that they are automatically (de)registered. Require that all usages of LockClassKeys ensure that they are Pin'd. Currently, only `'static` LockClassKeys are supported, so Pin is redundant. However, it is intended that dynamically-allocated LockClassKeys will eventually be supported, so using Pin from the outset will make that change simpler.

2025-01-28T20:25:12Z

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1. Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window. There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the moment. Here's a short list of the things in here: - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions. We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now, depending on what you want to do. - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use them - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing things in complex ways. - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall. - other small fixes and updates All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved "soon"" * tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (95 commits) rust: device: Use as_char_ptr() to avoid explicit cast rust: device: Replace CString with CStr in property_present() devcoredump: Constify 'struct bin_attribute' devcoredump: Define 'struct bin_attribute' through macro rust: device: Add property_present() saner replacement for debugfs_rename() orangefs-debugfs: don't mess with ->d_name octeontx2: don't mess with ->d_parent or ->d_parent->d_name arm_scmi: don't mess with ->d_parent->d_name slub: don't mess with ->d_name sof-client-ipc-flood-test: don't mess with ->d_name qat: don't mess with ->d_name xhci: don't mess with ->d_iname mtu3: don't mess wiht ->d_iname greybus/camera - stop messing with ->d_iname mediatek: stop messing with ->d_iname netdevsim: don't embed file_operations into your structs b43legacy: make use of debugfs_get_aux() b43: stop embedding struct file_operations into their objects carl9170: stop embedding file_operations into their objects ...

Merge tag 'rust-6.13' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux

2024-11-26T22:00:26Z

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "Toolchain and infrastructure: - Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a frequent source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide new developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very nice. - Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was _not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up locally ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s). - Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance, our first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more importantly, enabling the checking of private items. - Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above. - Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is the support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e. as receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc' that common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has been accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps required to get there. - Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature. - Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi' one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle. - Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize' instead of 32/64-bit integers. - Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins. - Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some distributions backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All major distributions we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS. 'macros' crate: - Adapt the build system to be able run the doctests there too; and clean up and enable the corresponding doctests. 'kernel' crate: - Add 'alloc' module with generic kernel allocator support and remove the dependency on the Rust standard library 'alloc' and the extension traits we used to provide fallible methods with flags. Add the 'Allocator' trait and its implementations '{K,V,KV}malloc'. Add the 'Box' type (a heap allocation for a single value of type 'T' that is also generic over an allocator and considers the kernel's GFP flags) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Box'. Add 'ArrayLayout' type. Add 'Vec' (a contiguous growable array type) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Vec', including iterator support. For instance, now we may write code such as: let mut v = KVec::new(); v.push(1, GFP_KERNEL)?; assert_eq!(&v, &[1]); Treewide, move as well old users to these new types. - 'sync' module: add global lock support, including the 'GlobalLockBackend' trait; the 'Global{Lock,Guard,LockedBy}' types and the 'global_lock!' macro.

rust: sync: add global lock support

2024-11-10T21:56:57Z

Add support for creating global variables that are wrapped in a mutex or spinlock. The implementation here is intended to replace the global mutex workaround found in the Rust Binder RFC [1]. In both cases, the global lock must be initialized before first use. The macro is unsafe to use for the same reason. The separate initialization step is required because it is tricky to access the value of __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED from Rust. Doing so will require changes to the C side. That change will happen as a follow-up to this patch.

rust: file: add abstraction for `poll_table`

2024-09-30T11:02:29Z

The existing `CondVar` abstraction is a wrapper around `wait_queue_head`, but it does not support all use-cases of the C `wait_queue_head` type. To be specific, a `CondVar` cannot be registered with a `struct poll_table`. This limitation has the advantage that you do not need to call `synchronize_rcu` when destroying a `CondVar`. However, we need the ability to register a `poll_table` with a `wait_queue_head` in Rust Binder. To enable this, introduce a type called `PollCondVar`, which is like `CondVar` except that you can register a `poll_table`. We also introduce `PollTable`, which is a safe wrapper around `poll_table` that is intended to be used with `PollCondVar`. The destructor of `PollCondVar` unconditionally calls `synchronize_rcu` to ensure that the removal of epoll waiters has fully completed before the `wait_queue_head` is destroyed. That said, `synchronize_rcu` is rather expensive and is not needed in all cases: If we have never registered a `poll_table` with the `wait_queue_head`, then we don't need to call `synchronize_rcu`. (And this is a common case in Binder - not all processes use Binder with epoll.) The current implementation does not account for this, but if we find that it is necessary to improve this, a future patch could store a boolean next to the `wait_queue_head` to keep track of whether a `poll_table` has ever been registered.
