<content type='text'>
Starting with Rust 1.88.0 (expected 2025-06-26) [1], `rustc` may move
back the `uninlined_format_args` to `style` from `pedantic` (it was
there waiting for rust-analyzer suppotr), and thus we will start to see
lints like:

    warning: variables can be used directly in the `format!` string
       --&gt; rust/macros/kunit.rs:105:37
        |
    105 |         let kunit_wrapper_fn_name = format!("kunit_rust_wrapper_{}", test);
        |                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        |
        = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#uninlined_format_args
    help: change this to
        |
    105 -         let kunit_wrapper_fn_name = format!("kunit_rust_wrapper_{}", test);
    105 +         let kunit_wrapper_fn_name = format!("kunit_rust_wrapper_{test}");

There is even a case that is a pure removal:

    warning: variables can be used directly in the `format!` string
      --&gt; rust/macros/module.rs:51:13
       |
    51 |             format!("{field}={content}\0", field = field, content = content)
       |             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
       |
       = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#uninlined_format_args
    help: change this to
       |
    51 -             format!("{field}={content}\0", field = field, content = content)
    51 +             format!("{field}={content}\0")

The lints all seem like nice cleanups, thus just apply them.

We may want to disable `allow-mixed-uninlined-format-args` in the future.

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) -&gt; 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 '&amp;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&lt;Box&lt;_&gt;&gt;', 'Arc&lt;_&gt;', 'Pin&lt;&amp;_&gt;' and 'Pin&lt;&amp;mut _&gt;' 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. It will go through the
     sub-tree of the 'RUST [ALLOC]' entry.

   - Add 'HIGH-RESOLUTION TIMERS [RUST]' entry with Andreas Hindborg as
     maintainer. It has its own sub-tree.

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

Rename relative paths inside of the crate to still refer to the same
items, also rename paths inside of the kernel crate and adjust the build
system to build the crate.

[ Remove the `expect` (and thus the `lint_reasons` feature) since
  the tree now uses `quote!` from `rust/macros/export.rs`. Remove the
  `TokenStream` import removal, since it is now used as well.

  In addition, temporarily (i.e. just for this commit) use an `--extern
  force:alloc` to prevent an unknown `new_uninit` error in the `rustdoc`
  target. For context, please see a similar case in:

      https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240422090644.525520-1-ojeda@kernel.org/

In the `module!` macro, the `author` field is currently of type `String`.

Since modules can have multiple authors, this limitation prevents
specifying more than one.

Add an `authors` field as `Option&lt;Vec&lt;String&gt;&gt;` to allow creating
modules with multiple authors, and change the documentation and all
current users to use it. Eventually, the single `author` field may
be removed.

[ The `modinfo` key needs to still be `author`; otherwise, tooling
  may not work properly, e.g.:

      $ modinfo --author samples/rust/rust_print.ko
      Rust for Linux Contributors

  I have also kept the original `author` field (undocumented), so
  that we can drop it more easily in a kernel cycle or two.

The `LocalModule` type is the type of the module created by `module!`,
`module_pci_driver!`, `module_platform_driver!`, etc.

Since the exact type of the module is sometimes generated on the fly by
the listed macros, provide an alias.

This is first used by the `module_firmware!` macro.

In order to access static metadata of a Rust kernel module, add the
`ModuleMetadata` trait.

In particular, this trait provides the name of a Rust kernel module as
specified by the `module!` macro.

Pull char/misc/IIO/whatever driver subsystem updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the 'big and hairy' char/misc/iio and other small driver
  subsystem updates for 6.13-rc1.

  Loads of things in here, and even a fun merge conflict!

   - rust misc driver bindings and other rust changes to make misc
     drivers actually possible.

     I think this is the tipping point, expect to see way more rust
     drivers going forward now that these bindings are present. Next
     merge window hopefully we will have pci and platform drivers
     working, which will fully enable almost all driver subsystems to
     start accepting (or at least getting) rust drivers.

     This is the end result of a lot of work from a lot of people,
     congrats to all of them for getting this far, you've proved many of
     us wrong in the best way possible, working code :)

   - IIO driver updates, too many to list individually, that subsystem
     keeps growing and growing...

   - Interconnect driver updates

   - nvmem driver updates

   - pwm driver updates

   - platform_driver::remove() fixups, loads of them

   - counter driver updates

   - misc driver updates (keba?)

   - binder driver updates and fixes

   - loads of other small char/misc/etc driver updates and additions,
     full details in the shortlog.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no other
  reported issues other than that merge conflict"

Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates
the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types
instead of `core::ffi`.

This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit
yet.
