Merge tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

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 ...

rust: kernel: add improved version of `ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut`

2025-01-13T22:46:07Z

Previously, the `ForeignOwnable` trait had a method called `borrow_mut` that was intended to provide mutable access to the inner value. However, the method accidentally made it possible to change the address of the object being modified, which usually isn't what we want. (And when we want that, it can be done by calling `from_foreign` and `into_foreign`, like how the old `borrow_mut` was implemented.) In this patch, we introduce an alternate definition of `borrow_mut` that solves the previous problem. Conceptually, given a pointer type `P` that implements `ForeignOwnable`, the `borrow_mut` method gives you the same kind of access as an `&mut P` would, except that it does not let you change the pointer `P` itself. This is analogous to how the existing `borrow` method provides the same kind of access to the inner value as an `&P`. Note that for types like `Arc`, having an `&mut Arc` only gives you immutable access to the inner `T`. This is because mutable references assume exclusive access, but there might be other handles to the same reference counted value, so the access isn't exclusive. The `Arc` type implements this by making `borrow_mut` return the same type as `borrow`.

rust: kernel: reorder `ForeignOwnable` items

2025-01-13T22:45:54Z

`{into,from}_foreign` before `borrow` is slightly more logical. This removes an inconsistency with `kbox.rs` which already uses this ordering.

rust: kernel: change `ForeignOwnable` pointer to mut

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. Add the 'Lock::try_lock' method. - 'error' module: optimize 'Error' type to use 'NonZeroI32' and make conversion functions public. - 'page' module: add 'page_align' function. - Add 'transmute' module with the existing 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes' traits. - 'block::mq::request' module: improve rendered documentation. - 'types' module: extend 'Opaque' type documentation and add simple examples for the 'Either' types. drm/panic: - Clean up a series of Clippy warnings. Documentation: - Add coding guidelines for lints and the '#[expect]' feature. - Add Ubuntu to the list of distributions in the Quick Start guide.

rust: use custom FFI integer types
