Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Another routine one in terms of features. In terms of lines, this time
  the 'alloc' version upgrade is less prominent, given that it was
  fairly small (and we did not have two upgrades)

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Upgrade to Rust 1.74.1

     The patch release includes a fix for an ICE that the Apple AGX GPU
     driver was hitting

   - Support 'srctree'-relative links in Rust code documentation

   - Automate part of the manual constants handling (i.e. the ones not
     recognised by 'bindgen')

   - Suppress searching builtin sysroot to avoid confusion with
     installed sysroots, needed for the to-be-merged arm64 support which
     uses a builtin target

   - Ignore '__preserve_most' functions for 'bindgen'

   - Reduce header inclusion bloat in exports

  'kernel' crate:

   - Implement 'Debug' for 'CString'

   - Make 'CondVar::wait()' an uninterruptible wait

  'macros' crate:

   - Update 'paste!' to accept string literals

   - Improve '#[vtable]' documentation

  Documentation:

   - Add testing section (KUnit and 'rusttest' target)

   - Remove 'CC=clang' mentions

   - Clarify that 'rustup override' applies to build directory"

<title>rust: support `srctree`-relative links</title>

<content type='text'>
Some of our links use relative paths in order to point to files in the
source tree, e.g.:

    //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](../../../../include/linux/printk.h)
    /// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h

These are problematic because they are hard to maintain and do not support
`O=` builds.

Instead, provide support for `srctree`-relative links, e.g.:

    //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](srctree/include/linux/printk.h)
    /// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h

The links are fixed after `rustdoc` generation to be based on the absolute
path to the source tree.

Essentially, this is the automatic version of Tomonori's fix [1],
suggested by Gary [2].

<title>rust: sync: Makes `CondVar::wait()` an uninterruptible wait</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, `CondVar::wait()` is an interruptible wait, and this is
different than `wait_event()` in include/linux/wait.h (which is an
uninterruptible wait). To avoid confusion between different APIs on the
interruptible/uninterruptible, make `CondVar::wait()` an uninterruptible
wait same as `wait_event()`, also rename the old `wait()` to
`CondVar::wait_interruptible()`.

<title>rust: upgrade to Rust 1.74.1</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=80fe9e51510b23472ad0f97175556490549ed714'/>
<id>urn:sha1:80fe9e51510b23472ad0f97175556490549ed714</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.73.0 to 1.74.1
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.

Therefore, the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the
`kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to
be upstreamed may increase the list (e.g. `offset_of` was added recently).

Please see [3] for details.

# Other improvements

Rust 1.74.0 allows to use `#[repr(Rust)]` explicitly [4], which can be
useful to be explicit about particular cases that would normally use
e.g. the C representation, such as silencing lints like the upcoming
additions we requested [5] to the `no_mangle_with_rust_abi` Clippy lint
(which in turn triggered the `#[repr(Rust)]` addition).

Rust 1.74.0 includes a fix for one of the false negative cases we reported
in Clippy's `disallowed_macros` lint [6] that we would like to use in
the future.

Rust 1.74.1 fixes an ICE that the Apple AGX GPU driver was hitting [7].

# Required changes

For this upgrade, no changes were required (i.e. on our side).

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R &gt; old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R &gt; new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This macro creates an array of kernel's `struct phy_driver` and
registers it. This also corresponds to the kernel's
`MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE` macro, which embeds the information for module
loading into the module binary file.

A PHY driver should use this macro.

<title>rust: core abstractions for network PHY drivers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f20fd5449ada3872dcd67aca397f0e27ca2e8ad6</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds abstractions to implement network PHY drivers; the
driver registration and bindings for some of callback functions in
struct phy_driver and many genphy_ functions.

This feature is enabled with CONFIG_RUST_PHYLIB_ABSTRACTIONS=y.

This patch enables unstable const_maybe_uninit_zeroed feature for
kernel crate to enable unsafe code to handle a constant value with
uninitialized data. With the feature, the abstractions can initialize
a phy_driver structure with zero easily; instead of initializing all
the members by hand. It's supposed to be stable in the not so distant
future.

<title>rust: Suppress searching builtin sysroot</title>

<id>urn:sha1:71479eee9da8ddb53f3ddb91bc8591d90fb8b142</id>
<content type='text'>
By default, if Rust is passed `--target=foo` rather than a target.json
file, it will infer a default sysroot if that component is installed. As
the proposed aarch64 support [1] uses `aarch64-unknown-none` rather than a
target.json file, this is needed [2] to prevent rustc from being confused
between the custom kernel sysroot and the pre-installed one.

[ Miguel: Applied Boqun's extra case (for `rusttest`) and reworded to add
  links to the arm64 patch series discussion. In addition, fixed the
  `rustdoc` target too (which requires a conditional since `cmd_rustdoc`
  is also used for host crates like `macros`). ]

<content type='text'>
Traits marked with `#[vtable]` need to provide default implementations
for optional functions. The C side represents these with `NULL` in the
vtable, so the default functions are never actually called. We do not
want to replicate the default behavior from C in Rust, because that is
not maintainable. Therefore we should use `build_error` in those default
implementations. The error message for that is provided at
`kernel::error::VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR`.

<content type='text'>
Enable combining identifiers with literals in the 'paste!' macro. This
allows combining user-specified strings with affixes to create
namespaced identifiers.

This sample code:

    macro_rules! m {
        ($name:lit) =&gt; {
            paste!(struct [&lt;_some_ $name _struct_&gt;] {})
        }
    }

    m!("foo_bar");

Would previously cause a compilation error. It will now generate:

    struct _some_foo_bar_struct_ {}
