Patch series "checkpatch.pl: warn about discouraged tags and missing Link:
tags", v4.
The first two changes make checkpatch.pl check for a few mistakes wrt to
links to bug reports Linus recently complained about a few times.
Avoiding those is also important for my regression tracking efforts a lot,
as the automated tracking performed by regzbot relies on the proper usage
of the Link: tag.
The third patch fixes a few small oddities noticed in existing code during
review of the two changes.
This patch (of 3):
Issue a warning when encountering URLs behind unknown tags, as Linus
recently stated ```please stop making up random tags that make no sense.
Just use "Link:"```[1]. That statement was triggered by an use of
'BugLink', but that's not the only tag people invented:
$ git log -100000 --no-merges --format=email -P \
--grep='^\w+:[ ]*http' | grep -Poh '^\w+:[ ]*http' | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -n 20

Some of these non-standard tags make it harder for external tools that
rely on use of proper tags. One of those tools is the regression tracking
bot 'regzbot', which looks out for "Link:" tags pointing to reports of
tracked regressions.
The initial idea was to use a disallow list to raise an error when
encountering known unwanted tags like BugLink:; during review it was
requested to use a list of allowed tags instead[2].

Pull Rust introductory support from Kees Cook:
"The tree has a recent base, but has fundamentally been in linux-next
for a year and a half[1]. It's been updated based on feedback from the
Kernel Maintainer's Summit, and to gain recent Reviewed-by: tags.
Miguel is the primary maintainer, with me helping where needed/wanted.
Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing
practice once this initial infrastructure series lands.
The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the
kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers - NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1
GPU[5]) on the way.
The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
- Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
- Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
- Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
- Rust kernel documentation and samples
Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have
contributed both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream
Rust side to support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people,
and many more, who have been involved in all kinds of ways:

checkpatch does not point out that VM_BUG_ON() and friends should be
avoided, however, Linus notes:
VM_BUG_ON() has the exact same semantics as BUG_ON. It is literally
no different, the only difference is "we can make the code smaller
because these are less important". [1]
So let's warn on VM_BUG_ON() and other BUG variants as well. While at it,
make it clearer that the kernel really shouldn't be crashed.
As there are some subsystem BUG macros that actually don't end up crashing
the kernel -- for example, KVM_BUG_ON() -- exclude these manually.

Include Rust in the "source code files" category, so that
the language-independent tests are checked for Rust too,
and teach `checkpatch` about the comment style for Rust files.
This enables the malformed SPDX check, the misplaced SPDX license
tag check, the long line checks, the lines without a newline check
and the embedded filename check.

When using a "FILE *" type, checkpatch considers this an error:
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV)
#32: FILE: f.c:8:

^
Fix this by explicitly defining "FILE" as a common type. This is useful for
user space patches.

kmap() and kmap_atomic() are being deprecated in favor of
kmap_local_page().
There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap's pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.
kmap_local_page() is safe from any context and is therefore redundant with
kmap_atomic() with the exception of any pagefault or preemption disable
requirements. However, using kmap_atomic() for these side effects makes
the code less clear. So any requirement for pagefault or preemption
disable should be made explicitly.
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored.
