<title>rust: types: add `ARef::into_raw`</title>

<content type='text'>
Add a method for `ARef` that is analogous to `Arc::into_raw`. It is the
inverse operation of `ARef::from_raw`, and allows you to convert the
`ARef` back into a raw pointer while retaining ownership of the
refcount.

This new function will be used by [1] for converting the type in an
`ARef` using `ARef::from_raw(ARef::into_raw(me).cast())`. Alice has
also needed the same function for other use-cases in the past, but [1]
is the first to go upstream.

This was implemented independently by Kartik and Alice. The two versions
were merged by Alice, so all mistakes are Alice's.

<content type='text'>
There are no guarantees for the pointer returned by `into_foreign`.
This is simply because there is no safety documentation stating any
guarantees. Therefore dereferencing and all other operations for that
pointer are not allowed in a general context (i.e. when the concrete
type implementing the trait is not known).
This might be confusing, therefore add normal documentation to state
that there are no guarantees given for the pointer.

We already implement ForeignOwnable for Box&lt;T&gt;, but it may be useful to
store pinned data in a ForeignOwnable container. This patch makes that
possible.

This will be used together with upcoming miscdev abstractions, which
Binder will use when binderfs is disabled.

<title>rust: uaccess: add typed accessors for userspace pointers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b33bf37adbb2ae35881e7fdd997ce3334d71b129</id>
<content type='text'>
Add safe methods for reading and writing Rust values to and from
userspace pointers.

The C methods for copying to/from userspace use a function called
`check_object_size` to verify that the kernel pointer is not dangling.
However, this check is skipped when the length is a compile-time
constant, with the assumption that such cases trivially have a correct
kernel pointer.

In this patch, we apply the same optimization to the typed accessors.
For both methods, the size of the operation is known at compile time to
be size_of of the type being read or written. Since the C side doesn't
provide a variant that skips only this check, we create custom helpers
for this purpose.

The majority of reads and writes to userspace pointers in the Rust
Binder driver uses these accessor methods. Benchmarking has found that
skipping the `check_object_size` check makes a big difference for the
cases being skipped here. (And that the check doesn't make a difference
for the cases that use the raw read/write methods.)

This code is based on something that was originally written by Wedson on
the old rust branch. It was modified by Alice to skip the
`check_object_size` check, and to update various comments, including the
notes about kernel pointers in `WritableToBytes`.

<title>rust: types: Make Opaque::get const</title>

<id>urn:sha1:be2ca1e03965ffb214b6cbda0ffd84daeeb5f214</id>
<content type='text'>
To support a potential usage:

    static foo: Opaque&lt;Foo&gt; = ..; // Or defined in an extern block.

    ...

    fn bar() {
        let ptr = foo.get();
    }

`Opaque::get` need to be `const`, otherwise compiler will complain
because calls on statics are limited to const functions.

Also `Opaque::get` should be naturally `const` since it's a composition
of two `const` functions: `UnsafeCell::get` and `ptr::cast`.

<title>rust: types: add `try_from_foreign()` method</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5bc818419a551ab1fcdbff3c5d8b6043527d90dd</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently `ForeignOwnable::from_foreign()` only works for non-null
pointers for the existing `impl`s (e.g. `Box`, `Arc`). In turn, this
means callers may write code like:

```rust
// `p` is a pointer that may be null.
if p.is_null() {
    None
} else {
    unsafe { Some(Self::from_foreign(ptr)) }
}
```

Add a `try_from_foreign()` method to the trait with a default
implementation that returns `None` if `ptr` is null, otherwise
`Some(from_foreign(ptr))`, so that it can be used by callers instead.

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "In terms of lines, most changes this time are on the pinned-init API
  and infrastructure. While we have a Rust version upgrade, and thus a
  bunch of changes from the vendored 'alloc' crate as usual, this time
  those do not account for many lines.

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Upgrade to Rust 1.71.1. This is the second such upgrade, which is a
     smaller jump compared to the last time.

     This version allows us to remove the '__rust_*' allocator functions
     -- the compiler now generates them as expected, thus now our
     'KernelAllocator' is used.

     It also introduces the 'offset_of!' macro in the standard library
     (as an unstable feature) which we will need soon. So far, we were
     using a declarative macro as a prerequisite in some not-yet-landed
     patch series, which did not support sub-fields (i.e. nested
     structs):

         #[repr(C)]
         struct S {
             a: u16,
             b: (u8, u8),
         }

         assert_eq!(offset_of!(S, b.1), 3);

   - Upgrade to bindgen 0.65.1. This is the first time we upgrade its
     version.

     Given it is a fairly big jump, it comes with a fair number of
     improvements/changes that affect us, such as a fix needed to
     support LLVM 16 as well as proper support for '__noreturn' C
     functions, which are now mapped to return the '!' type in Rust:

         void __noreturn f(void); // C
         pub fn f() -&gt; !;         // Rust

   - 'scripts/rust_is_available.sh' improvements and fixes.

     This series takes care of all the issues known so far and adds a
     few new checks to cover for even more cases, plus adds some more
     help texts. All this together will hopefully make problematic
     setups easier to identify and to be solved by users building the
     kernel.

     In addition, it adds a test suite which covers all branches of the
     shell script, as well as tests for the issues found so far.

   - Support rust-analyzer for out-of-tree modules too.

   - Give 'cfg's to rust-analyzer for the 'core' and 'alloc' crates.

   - Drop 'scripts/is_rust_module.sh' since it is not needed anymore.

  Macros crate:

   - New 'paste!' proc macro.

     This macro is a more flexible version of 'concat_idents!': it
     allows the resulting identifier to be used to declare new items and
     it allows to transform the identifiers before concatenating them,
     e.g.

         let x_1 = 42;
         paste!(let [&lt;x _2&gt;] = [&lt;x _1&gt;];);
         assert!(x_1 == x_2);

     The macro is then used for several of the pinned-init API changes
     in this pull.

  Pinned-init API:

   - Make '#[pin_data]' compatible with conditional compilation of
     fields, allowing to write code like:

         #[pin_data]
         pub struct Foo {
             #[cfg(CONFIG_BAR)]
             a: Bar,
             #[cfg(not(CONFIG_BAR))]
             a: Baz,
         }

   - New '#[derive(Zeroable)]' proc macro for the 'Zeroable' trait,
     which allows 'unsafe' implementations for structs where every field
     implements the 'Zeroable' trait, e.g.:

         #[derive(Zeroable)]
         pub struct DriverData {
             id: i64,
             buf_ptr: *mut u8,
             len: usize,
         }

   - Add '..Zeroable::zeroed()' syntax to the 'pin_init!' macro for
     zeroing all other fields, e.g.:

         pin_init!(Buf {
             buf: [1; 64],
             ..Zeroable::zeroed()
         });

   - New '{,pin_}init_array_from_fn()' functions to create array
     initializers given a generator function, e.g.:

         let b: Box&lt;[usize; 1_000]&gt; = Box::init::&lt;Error&gt;(
             init_array_from_fn(|i| i)
         ).unwrap();

         assert_eq!(b.len(), 1_000);
         assert_eq!(b[123], 123);

   - New '{,pin_}chain' methods for '{,Pin}Init&lt;T, E&gt;' that allow to
     execute a closure on the value directly after initialization, e.g.:

         let foo = init!(Foo {
             buf &lt;- init::zeroed()
         }).chain(|foo| {
             foo.setup();
             Ok(())
         });

   - Support arbitrary paths in init macros, instead of just identifiers
     and generic types.

   - Implement the 'Zeroable' trait for the 'UnsafeCell&lt;T&gt;' and
     'Opaque&lt;T&gt;' types.

   - Make initializer values inaccessible after initialization.

   - Make guards in the init macros hygienic.

  'allocator' module:

   - Use 'krealloc_aligned()' in 'KernelAllocator::alloc' preventing
     misaligned allocations when the Rust 1.71.1 upgrade is applied
     later in this pull.

     The equivalent fix for the previous compiler version (where
     'KernelAllocator' is not yet used) was merged into 6.5 already,
     which added the 'krealloc_aligned()' function used here.

   - Implement 'KernelAllocator::{realloc, alloc_zeroed}' for
     performance, using 'krealloc_aligned()' too, which forwards the
     call to the C API.

  'types' module:

   - Make 'Opaque' be '!Unpin', removing the need to add a
     'PhantomPinned' field to Rust structs that contain C structs which
     must not be moved.

   - Make 'Opaque' use 'UnsafeCell' as the outer type, rather than
     inner.

  Documentation:

   - Suggest obtaining the source code of the Rust's 'core' library
     using the tarball instead of the repository.

   - Andreas and Alice, from Samsung and Google respectively, are
     joining as reviewers of the "RUST" entry.
