"The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.
The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
plus beta, plus nightly.
This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.
Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
compiler versions should generally work.
In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].
I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support several Rust toolchain versions.
- Support several bindgen versions.
- Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.
- Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.
- Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.
- Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
macro.
'macros' crate:
- Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.
- Improve 'module!' macro documentation.
Documentation:
- Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.
- Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.
- Explain '#[no_std]'.
And a few other small bits"

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.
Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
in here are:
- platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
to get here, finally!)
- Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
interactions.
It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
others can start their work.
There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.
- driver core const api changes.
This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
out.
This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
but are getting closer.
- minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection
- arch_topology minor changes
- other minor driver core cleanups
All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
reported problems"

Adds a new struct called `Page` that wraps a pointer to `struct page`.
This struct is assumed to hold ownership over the page, so that Rust
code can allocate and manage pages directly.
The page type has various methods for reading and writing into the page.
These methods will temporarily map the page to allow the operation. All
of these methods use a helper that takes an offset and length, performs
bounds checks, and returns a pointer to the given offset in the page.
This patch only adds support for pages of order zero, as that is all
Rust Binder needs. However, it is written to make it easy to add support
for higher-order pages in the future. To do that, you would add a const
generic parameter to `Page` that specifies the order. Most of the
methods do not need to be adjusted, as the logic for dealing with
mapping multiple pages at once can be isolated to just the
`with_pointer_into_page` method.
Rust Binder needs to manage pages directly as that is how transactions
are delivered: Each process has an mmap'd region for incoming
transactions. When an incoming transaction arrives, the Binder driver
will choose a region in the mmap, allocate and map the relevant pages
manually, and copy the incoming transaction directly into the page. This
architecture allows the driver to copy transactions directly from the
address space of one process to another, without an intermediate copy
to a kernel buffer.
This code is based on Wedson's page abstractions from the old rust
branch, but it has been modified by Alice by removing the incomplete
support for higher-order pages, by introducing the `with_*` helpers
to consolidate the bounds checking logic into a single place, and
various other changes.

A pointer to an area in userspace memory, which can be either read-only
or read-write.
All methods on this struct are safe: attempting to read or write on bad
addresses (either out of the bound of the slice or unmapped addresses)
will return `EFAULT`. Concurrent access, *including data races to/from
userspace memory*, is permitted, because fundamentally another userspace
thread/process could always be modifying memory at the same time (in the
same way that userspace Rust's `std::io` permits data races with the
contents of files on disk). In the presence of a race, the exact byte
values read/written are unspecified but the operation is well-defined.
Kernelspace code should validate its copy of data after completing a
read, and not expect that multiple reads of the same address will return
the same value.
These APIs are designed to make it difficult to accidentally write
TOCTOU bugs. Every time you read from a memory location, the pointer is
advanced by the length so that you cannot use that reader to read the
same memory location twice. Preventing double-fetches avoids TOCTOU
bugs. This is accomplished by taking `self` by value to prevent
obtaining multiple readers on a given `UserSlice`, and the readers only
permitting forward reads. If double-fetching a memory location is
necessary for some reason, then that is done by creating multiple
readers to the same memory location.
Constructing a `UserSlice` performs no checks on the provided address
and length, it can safely be constructed inside a kernel thread with no
current userspace process. Reads and writes wrap the kernel APIs
`copy_from_user` and `copy_to_user`, which check the memory map of the
current process and enforce that the address range is within the user
range (no additional calls to `access_ok` are needed).
This code is based on something that was originally written by Wedson on
the old rust branch. It was modified by Alice by removing the
`IoBufferReader` and `IoBufferWriter` traits, and various other changes.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"The most notable change is the drop of the 'alloc' in-tree fork. This
is nicely reflected in the diffstat as a ~10k lines drop. In turn,
this makes the version upgrades way simpler and smaller in the future,
e.g. the latest one in commit 56f64b3706 ("rust: upgrade to Rust
1.78.0").
More importantly, this increases the chances that a newer compiler
version just works, which in turn means supporting several compiler
versions is easier now. Thus we will look into finally setting a
minimum version in the near future.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Upgrade to Rust 1.78.0
This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have
aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove
one more unstable feature ('offset_of') from the list, among other
improvements
- Drop 'alloc' in-tree fork of the standard library crate, which
means all the unstable features used by 'alloc' (~30 language ones,
~60 library ones) are not a concern anymore
- Support DWARFv5 via the '-Zdwarf-version' flag
- Support zlib and zstd debuginfo compression via the
'-Zdebuginfo-compression' flag
'kernel' crate:
- Support allocation flags ('GFP_*'), particularly in 'Box' (via
'BoxExt'), 'Vec' (via 'VecExt'), 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc', as well as
in the 'init' module APIs
- Remove usage of the 'allocator_api' unstable feature
- Remove 'try_' prefix in allocation APIs' names
- Add 'VecExt' (an extension trait) to be able to drop the 'alloc'
fork
- Add the '{make,to}_{upper,lower}case()' methods to 'CStr'/'CString'
- Add the 'as_ptr' method to 'ThisModule'
- Add the 'from_raw' method to 'ArcBorrow'
- Add the 'into_unique_or_drop' method to 'Arc'
- Display column number in the 'dbg!' macro output by applying the
equivalent change done to the standard library one
- Migrate 'Work' to '#[pin_data]' thanks to the changes in the
'macros' crate, which allows to remove an unsafe call in its 'new'
associated function
- Prevent namespacing issues when using the '[try_][pin_]init!'
macros by changing the generated name of guard variables
- Make the 'get' method in 'Opaque' const
- Implement the 'Default' trait for 'LockClassKey'
- Remove unneeded 'kernel::prelude' imports from doctests
- Remove redundant imports
'macros' crate:
- Add 'decl_generics' to 'parse_generics()' to support default
values, and use that to allow them in '#[pin_data]'
Helpers:
- Trivial English grammar fix

- Add section on Rust Kselftests to the 'Testing' document

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.76.0 to 1.77.1
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
The `offset_of` feature (single-field `offset_of!`) that we were using
got stabilized in Rust 1.77.0 [3].
Therefore, now the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the
`kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may
increase the list.
Please see [4] for details.
# Required changes
Rust 1.77.0 merged the `unused_tuple_struct_fields` lint into `dead_code`,
thus upgrading it from `allow` to `warn` [5]. In turn, this made `rustc`
complain about the `ThisModule`'s pointer field being never read, but
the previous patch adds the `as_ptr` method to it, needed by Binder [6],
so that we do not need to locally `allow` it.
# Other changes
Rust 1.77.0 introduces the `--check-cfg` feature [7], for which there
is a Call for Testing going on [8]. We were requested to test it and
we found it useful [9] -- we will likely enable it in the future.
# `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.

# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)

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.

Defines type aliases and conversions for msecs and jiffies.
This is used by Rust Binder for process freezing. There, we want to
sleep until the freeze operation completes, but we want to be able to
abort the process freezing if it doesn't complete within some timeout.
The freeze timeout is supplied in msecs.
Note that we need to convert to jiffies in Binder. It is not enough to
introduce a variant of `CondVar::wait_timeout` that takes the timeout in
msecs because we need to be able to restart the sleep with the remaining
sleep duration if it is interrupted, and if the API takes msecs rather
than jiffies, then that would require a conversion roundtrip jiffies->
msecs->jiffies that is best avoided.

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.

The main challenge with defining `work_struct` fields is making sure
that the function pointer stored in the `work_struct` is appropriate for
the work item type it is embedded in. It needs to know the offset of the
`work_struct` field being used (even if there are several!) so that it
can do a `container_of`, and it needs to know the type of the work item
so that it can call into the right user-provided code. All of this needs
to happen in a way that provides a safe API to the user, so that users
of the workqueue cannot mix up the function pointers.
There are three important pieces that are relevant when doing this:
* The pointer type.
* The work item struct. This is what the pointer points at.
* The `work_struct` field. This is a field of the work item struct.
This patch introduces a separate trait for each piece. The pointer type
is given a `WorkItemPointer` trait, which pointer types need to
implement to be usable with the workqueue. This trait will be
implemented for `Arc` and `Box` in a later patch in this patchset.
Implementing this trait is unsafe because this is where the
`container_of` operation happens, but user-code will not need to
implement it themselves.
The work item struct should then implement the `WorkItem` trait. This
trait is where user-code specifies what they want to happen when a work
item is executed. It also specifies what the correct pointer type is.
Finally, to make the work item struct know the offset of its
`work_struct` field, we use a trait called `HasWork<T, ID>`. If a type
implements this trait, then the type declares that, at the given offset,
there is a field of type `Work<T, ID>`. The trait is marked unsafe
because the OFFSET constant must be correct, but we provide an
`impl_has_work!` macro that can safely implement `HasWork<T>` on a type.
The macro expands to something that only compiles if the specified field
really has the type `Work<T>`. It is used like this:
```
struct MyWorkItem {
work_field: Work<MyWorkItem, 1>,
