Starting with Rust 1.98.0 (expected 2026-08-20), the compiler has changed
how the resolution algorithm works [1] in upstream commit c4d84db5f184
("Resolver: Batched import resolution."), and it now spots:
error: unused import: `flags::*`
--> rust/kernel/str.rs:7:9
|
7 | flags::*,
| ^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `-D unused-imports` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(unused_imports)]`
It happens to not be needed because the `prelude::*` already provides
the flags.
Thus clean it up.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # Needed in 6.18.y and later (prelude added to `str`).

There are 6 individual Rust KUnit test suites (plus the doctests one). All
the tests are compiled unconditionally now, which adds ~200 kB to the
kernel image for me on x86_64. As Rust matures, this bloating will
inevitably grow.
Add Kconfig.test which includes a RUST_KUNIT_TESTS menu, and all
individual tests under it.
As usual, new tests are all enabled if KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y.

Pull timekeeping updates from Andreas Hindborg:
- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.
- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.
- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
This is a back merge since the pull request has a newer base -- we will
avoid that in the future.
And, given it is a back merge, it happens to resolve the "subtle" conflict
around '--remap-path-{prefix,scope}' that I discussed in linux-next [1],
plus a few other common conflicts. The result matches what we did for
next-20260407.
The actual diffstat (i.e. using a temporary merge of upstream first) is:

As kernel always use unsigned char and not the platform ABI's default, an
user should always use `as_char_ptr` provided via `CStrExt` instead.
Therefore configure `disallow-methods` feature of clippy to catch incorrect
usage.
Similarly, the dual `from_ptr` is also disallowed.
[ As an example, without the previous commit, we would get a warning like:

Pull module updates from Daniel Gomez:
"Rust module parameter support:
- Add Rust module parameter support, enabling Rust kernel modules to
declare and use module parameters. The rust_minimal sample module
demonstrates this, and the rust null block driver will be the first
to use it in the next cycle. This also adds the Rust module files
under the modules subsystem as agreed between the Rust and modules
maintainers.
Hardening:
- Add compile-time check for embedded NUL characters in MODULE_*()
macros. This module metadata was once used (and maybe still) to
bypass license enforcement (LWN article from 2003):

`kernel::ffi::CStr` was introduced in commit d126d23801 ("rust: str:
add `CStr` type") in November 2022 as an upstreaming of earlier work
that was done in May 2021[0]. That earlier work, having predated the
inclusion of `CStr` in `core`, largely duplicated the implementation of
`std::ffi::CStr`.
`std::ffi::CStr` was moved to `core::ffi::CStr` in Rust 1.64 in
September 2022. Hence replace `kernel::str::CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr`
to reduce our custom code footprint, and retain needed custom
functionality through an extension trait.
Add `CStr` to `ffi` and the kernel prelude.

Rather than export a macro that delegates to `core::format_args`, simply
re-export `core::format_args` as `fmt` from the prelude. This exposes
clippy warnings which were previously obscured by this macro, such as:
warning: variables can be used directly in the `format!` string
--> ../drivers/cpufreq/rcpufreq_dt.rs:21:43

21 | let prop_name = CString::try_from_fmt(fmt!("{}-supply", name)).ok()?;

21 + let prop_name = CString::try_from_fmt(fmt!("{name}-supply")).ok()?;

Thus fix them in the same commit. This could possibly be fixed in two
stages, but the diff is small enough (outside of kernel/str.rs) that I
hope it can be taken in a single commit.

In Rust 1.63.0, Clippy introduced the `as_underscore` lint [1]:
> The conversion might include lossy conversion or a dangerous cast that
> might go undetected due to the type being inferred.
>
> The lint is allowed by default as using `_` is less wordy than always
> specifying the type.
Always specifying the type is especially helpful in function call
contexts where the inferred type may change at a distance. Specifying
the type also allows Clippy to spot more cases of `useless_conversion`.
The primary downside is the need to specify the type in trivial getters.
There are 4 such functions: 3 have become slightly less ergonomic, 1 was
revealed to be a `useless_conversion`.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.
