Upstream Rust's libs-api team has consensus for stabilizing some of `feature(new_uninit)`, but not for `Box<MaybeUninit<T>>::write`. Instead, we can use `MaybeUninit<T>::write`, so Rust for Linux can drop the feature after stabilization. That will happen after merging, as the FCP has completed [1]. This is required before stabilization because remaining-unstable API will be divided into new features. This code doesn't know about those yet. It can't: they haven't landed, as the relevant PR is blocked on rustc's CI testing Rust-for-Linux without this patch. [ The PR has landed [2] and will be released in Rust 1.82.0 (expected on 2024-10-17), so we could conditionally enable the new unstable feature (`box_uninit_write` [3]) instead, but just for a single `unsafe` block it is probably not worth it. For the time being, I added it to the "nice to have" section of our unstable features list. - Miguel ] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/63291#issuecomment-2183022955 [1] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129416 [2] Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/129397 [3] Signed-off-by: Jubilee Young <workingjubilee@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Trevor Gross <tmgross@umich.edu> [ Reworded slightly. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
