commit be2ca1e03965ffb214b6cbda0ffd84daeeb5f214 upstream.
To support a potential usage:
static foo: Opaque<Foo> = ..; // 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`.

commit 49ceae68a0df9a92617a61e9ce8a0efcf6419585 upstream.
In Rust, producing an invalid value of any type is immediate undefined
behavior (UB); this includes via zeroing memory. Therefore, since an
uninhabited type has no valid values, producing any values at all for it is
UB.
The Rust standard library type `core::convert::Infallible` is uninhabited,
by virtue of having been declared as an enum with no cases, which always
produces uninhabited types in Rust.
The current kernel code allows this UB to be triggered, for example by code
like `Box::<core::convert::Infallible>::init(kernel::init::zeroed())`.
Thus, remove the implementation of `Zeroable` for `Infallible`, thereby
avoiding the unsoundness (potential for future UB).

commit 828176d037e29f813792a8b3ac1591834240e96f upstream.
`Box::from_raw()` is `#[must_use]`, which means the result cannot
go unused.
In Rust 1.71.0, this was not detected because the block expression
swallows the diagnostic [1]:
unsafe { Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()) };
It would have been detected, however, if the line had been instead:
unsafe { Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()); }
i.e. the semicolon being inside the `unsafe` block, rather than
outside.
In Rust 1.72.0, the compiler started warning about this [2], so
without this patch we will get:
error: unused return value of `alloc::boxed::Box::<T>::from_raw` that must be used
--> rust/kernel/sync/arc.rs:302:22

302 | unsafe { Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()) };

302 | unsafe { let _ = Box::from_raw(self.ptr.as_ptr()); };

Thus add an add an explicit `drop()` as the `#[must_use]`'s
annotation suggests (instead of the more general help line).

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() -> !; // 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 [<x _2>] = [<x _1>];);
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<[usize; 1_000]> = Box::init::<Error>(
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<T, E>' that allow to
execute a closure on the value directly after initialization, e.g.:
let foo = init!(Foo {
buf <- 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<T>' and
'Opaque<T>' 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.

Previously only `ident` and generic types were supported in the
`{try_}{pin_}init!` macros. This patch allows arbitrary path fragments,
so for example `Foo::Bar` but also very complex paths such as
`<Foo as Baz>::Bar::<0, i32>`.
Internally this is accomplished by using `path` fragments. Due to some
peculiar declarative macro limitations, we have to "forget" certain
additional parsing information in the token trees. This is achieved by
using the `paste!` proc macro. It does not actually modify the input,
since no `[< >]` will be present in the input, so it just strips the
information held by declarative macros. For example, if a declarative
macro takes `$t:path` as its input, it cannot sensibly propagate this to
a macro that takes `$($p:tt)*` as its input, since the `$t` token will
only be considered one `tt` token for the second macro. If we first pipe
the tokens through `paste!`, then it parses as expected.

Previously the init macros would create a local variable with the name
and hygiene of the field that is being initialized to store the value of
the field. This would override any user defined variables. For example:
```
struct Foo {
a: usize,
b: usize,
}
let a = 10;
let foo = init!(Foo{
a: a + 1, // This creates a local variable named `a`.
b: a, // This refers to that variable!
});
let foo = Box::init!(foo)?;
assert_eq!(foo.a, 11);
assert_eq!(foo.b, 11);
```
This patch changes this behavior, so the above code would panic at the
last assertion, since `b` would have value 10.

In the implementation of the init macros there is a `if false` statement
that type checks the initializer to ensure every field is initialized.
Since the next patch has a stack variable to store the struct, the
function might allocate too much memory on debug builds. Putting the
struct into a closure that is never executed ensures that even in debug
builds no stack overflow error is caused. In release builds this was not
a problem since the code was optimized away due to the `if false`.

Use hygienic identifiers for the guards instead of the field names. This
makes the init macros feel more like normal struct initializers, since
assigning identifiers with the name of a field does not create
conflicts.
Also change the internals of the guards, no need to make the `forget`
function `unsafe`, since users cannot access the guards anyways. Now the
guards are carried directly on the stack and have no extra `Cell<bool>`
field that marks if they have been forgotten or not, instead they are
just forgotten via `mem::forget`.

This was fixed in bindgen 0.62.0. Therefore, upgrade bindgen to
a more recent version, 0.65.1, to support LLVM 16.
Since bindgen 0.58.0 changed the `--{white,black}list-*` flags to
`--{allow,block}list-*` [3], update them on our side too.
In addition, bindgen 0.61.0 moved its CLI utility into a binary crate
called `bindgen-cli` [4]. Thus update the installation command in the
Quick Start guide.
Moreover, bindgen 0.61.0 changed the default functionality to bind
`size_t` to `usize` [5] and added the `--no-size_t-is-usize` flag
to not bind `size_t` as `usize`. Then bindgen 0.65.0 removed
the `--size_t-is-usize` flag [6]. Thus stop passing the flag to bindgen.
Finally, bindgen 0.61.0 added support for the `noreturn` attribute (in
its different forms) [7]. Thus remove the infinite loop in our Rust
panic handler after calling `BUG()`, since bindgen now correctly
generates a `BUG()` binding that returns `!` instead of `()`.

This is the second upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.68.2 to 1.71.1
(i.e. the latest).
See the upgrade policy [1] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.
Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [2] for details.
# Required changes
For the upgrade, this patch requires the following changes:
- Removal of the `__rust_*` allocator functions, together with
the addition of the `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` static.
See [3] for details.
- Some more compiler builtins added due to `<f{32,64}>::midpoint()`
that got added in Rust 1.71 [4].
# `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:

git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |

git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
