Add the struct update syntax to the init macros, but only for
`..Zeroable::zeroed()`. Adding this at the end of the struct initializer
allows one to omit fields from the initializer, these fields will be
initialized with 0x00 set to every byte. Only types that implement the
`Zeroable` trait can utilize this.

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`.

The source for Rust's 'core' library is needed to build the kernel with
Rust support. This sometimes needs to be obtained by hand when using a
standalone version of 'rustc' not managed by 'rustup'. Currently, the
documentation suggests cloning the 'rust' repository to obtain these
sources, but this is quite slow (on the order of a multiple minutes).
Change this documentation to suggest using the source tarball instead.
The tarball includes only needed files (<5M) and is significantly faster
to download; this is more in line with what 'rustup' does.
Also simplify wording of the relevant section.

To remedy this, pass the flags to `generate_rust_analyzer.py` for
them to be added to a dictionary where each key corresponds to
a crate and each value to a list of `cfg`s. The dictionary is then
used to pass the `cfg`s to each crate in the generated file (for

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 `()`.

In rare cases, we may need to use the Rust ABI even with `#[no_mangle]`

since using `extern "Rust"` explicitly (as the compiler suggests)
currently gets overwritten by `rustfmt` [3].

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:
# 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 > 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 > 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.

With commit c1177979af ("btf, scripts: Exclude Rust CUs with pahole")
we are now able to use pahole directly to identify Rust compilation
units (CUs) and exclude them from generating BTF debugging information
(when DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled).
And if pahole doesn't support the --lang-exclude flag, we can't enable
both RUST and DEBUG_INFO_BTF at the same time.
So, in any case, the script is_rust_module.sh is just redundant and we
can drop it.
NOTE: we may also be able to drop the "Rust loadable module" mark
inside Rust modules, but it seems safer to keep it for now to make sure
we are not breaking any external tool that may potentially rely on it.

This macro provides a flexible way to concatenated identifiers together
and it allows the resulting identifier to be used to declare new items,
which `concat_idents!` does not allow. It also allows identifiers to be
transformed before concatenated.
The `concat_idents!` example
let x_1 = 42;
let x_2 = concat_idents!(x, _1);
assert!(x_1 == x_2);
can be written with `paste!` macro like this:
let x_1 = 42;
let x_2 = paste!([<x _1>]);
assert!(x_1 == x_2);
However `paste!` macro is more flexible because it can be used to create
a new variable:
let x_1 = 42;
paste!(let [<x _2>] = [<x _1>];);
assert!(x_1 == x_2);
While this is not possible with `concat_idents!`.
This macro is similar to the `paste!` crate [1], but this is a fresh
implementation to avoid vendoring large amount of code directly. Also, I
have augmented it to provide a way to specify span of the resulting
token, allowing precise control.
For example, this code is broken because the variable is declared inside
the macro, so Rust macro hygiene rules prevents access from the outside:
macro_rules! m {
($id: ident) => {
// The resulting token has hygiene of the macro.
paste!(let [<$id>] = 1;)
}
}
m!(a);
let _ = a;
In this version of `paste!` macro I added a `span` modifier to allow
this:
macro_rules! m {
($id: ident) => {
// The resulting token has hygiene of `$id`.
paste!(let [<$id:span>] = 1;)
}
}
m!(a);
let _ = a;

When combining `UnsafeCell` with `MaybeUninit`, it is idiomatic to use
`UnsafeCell` as the outer type. Intuitively, this is because a
`MaybeUninit<T>` might not contain a `T`, but we always want the effect
of the `UnsafeCell`, even if the inner value is uninitialized.
Now, strictly speaking, this doesn't really make a difference. The
compiler will always apply the `UnsafeCell` effect even if the inner
value is uninitialized. But I think we should follow the convention
here.

The `rust_is_available.sh` script runs for everybody compiling the
kernel, even if not using Rust. Therefore, it is important to ensure
that the script is correct to avoid breaking people's compilation.
In addition, the script needs to be able to handle a set of subtle
cases, including parsing version strings of different tools.
Therefore, maintenance of this script can be greatly eased with
a set of tests.
Thus add a test suite to cover hopefully most of the setups that
the script may encounter in the wild. Extra setups can be easily
added later on if missing.
The script currently covers all the branches of the shell script,
including several ways in which they may be entered.
Python is used for this script, since the script under test
does not depend on Rust, thus hopefully making it easier for others
to use if the need arises.

expected, but the error is confusing. For instance:

The script already checks if `$RUSTC` and `$BINDGEN` exists via
`command`, but the environment variables may point to a
non-executable file, or the programs may fail for some other reason.
While the script successfully exits with a failure as it should,
the error given can be quite confusing depending on the shell and
the behavior of its `command`. For instance, with `dash`:
$ RUSTC=./mm BINDGEN=bindgen CC=clang scripts/rust_is_available.sh
scripts/rust_is_available.sh: 19: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: "100000 * + 100 * + "
Thus detect failure exit codes when calling `$RUSTC` and `$BINDGEN` and
print a better message, in a similar way to what we do when extracting
the `libclang` version found by `bindgen`.

In order to match the version string, `sed` is used in a couple
cases, and `grep` and `head` in a couple others.
Make the script more consistent and easier to understand by
using the same method, `sed`, for all of them.
This makes the version matching also a bit more strict for
the changed cases, since the strings `rustc ` and `bindgen `
will now be required, which should be fine since `rustc`
complains if one attempts to call it with another program
name, and `bindgen` uses a hardcoded string.
In addition, clarify why one of the existing `sed` commands

Sometimes [1] users may attempt to setup the Rust support by
checking what Kbuild does and they end up finding out about
`scripts/rust_is_available.sh`. Inevitably, they run the script
directly, but unless they setup the required variables,
the result of the script is not meaningful.
We could add some defaults to the variables, but that could be
confusing for those that may override the defaults (compared
to their kernel builds), and `$CC` would not be a simple default
in any case.
Therefore, instead, explicitly check whether the expected variables
are set (`$RUSTC`, `$BINDGEN` and `$CC`). If not, print an explanation
about the fact that the script is meant to be called from Kbuild,
since that is the most likely cause for the variables not being set.
