Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Extract the 'pin-init' API from the 'kernel' crate and make it into
a standalone crate.
In order to do this, the contents are rearranged so that they can
easily be kept in sync with the version maintained out-of-tree that
other projects have started to use too (or plan to, like QEMU).
This will reduce the maintenance burden for Benno, who will now
have his own sub-tree, and will simplify future expected changes
like the move to use 'syn' to simplify the implementation.
- Add '#[test]'-like support based on KUnit.
We already had doctests support based on KUnit, which takes the
examples in our Rust documentation and runs them under KUnit.
Now, we are adding the beginning of the support for "normal" tests,
similar to those the '#[test]' tests in userspace Rust. For
instance:
#[kunit_tests(my_suite)]
mod tests {
#[test]
fn my_test() {
assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2);
}
}
Unlike with doctests, the 'assert*!'s do not map to the KUnit
assertion APIs yet.
- Check Rust signatures at compile time for functions called from C
by name.
In particular, introduce a new '#[export]' macro that can be placed
in the Rust function definition. It will ensure that the function
declaration on the C side matches the signature on the Rust
function:
#[export]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn my_function(a: u8, b: i32) -> usize {
// ...
}
The macro essentially forces the compiler to compare the types of
the actual Rust function and the 'bindgen'-processed C signature.
These cases are rare so far. In the future, we may consider
introducing another tool, 'cbindgen', to generate C headers
automatically. Even then, having these functions explicitly marked
may be a good idea anyway.
- Enable the 'raw_ref_op' Rust feature: it is already stable, and
allows us to use the new '&raw' syntax, avoiding a couple macros.
After everyone has migrated, we will disallow the macros.
- Pass the correct target to 'bindgen' on Usermode Linux.
- Fix 'rusttest' build in macOS.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'hrtimer' module: add support for setting up intrusive timers
without allocating when starting the timer. Add support for
'Pin<Box<_>>', 'Arc<_>', 'Pin<&_>' and 'Pin<&mut _>' as pointer
types for use with timer callbacks. Add support for setting clock
source and timer mode.
- New 'dma' module: add a simple DMA coherent allocator abstraction
and a test sample driver.
- 'list' module: make the linked list 'Cursor' point between
elements, rather than at an element, which is more convenient to us
and allows for cursors to empty lists; and document it with
examples of how to perform common operations with the provided
methods.
- 'str' module: implement a few traits for 'BStr' as well as the
'strip_prefix()' method.
- 'sync' module: add 'Arc::as_ptr'.
- 'alloc' module: add 'Box::into_pin'.
- 'error' module: extend the 'Result' documentation, including a few
examples on different ways of handling errors, a warning about
using methods that may panic, and links to external documentation.
'macros' crate:
- 'module' macro: add the 'authors' key to support multiple authors.
The original key will be kept until everyone has migrated.
Documentation:
- Add error handling sections.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as reviewer of the Rust "subsystem".
- Add 'RUST [PIN-INIT]' entry with Benno Lossin as maintainer. It has
its own sub-tree.
- Add sub-tree for 'RUST [ALLOC]'.
- Add 'DMA MAPPING HELPERS DEVICE DRIVER API [RUST]' entry with
Abdiel Janulgue as primary maintainer. It will go through the
sub-tree of the 'RUST [ALLOC]' entry.
- Add 'HIGH-RESOLUTION TIMERS [RUST]' entry with Andreas Hindborg as
maintainer. It has its own sub-tree.
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

The following FFI types are replaced compared to `core::ffi`:
1. `char` type is now always mapped to `u8`, since kernel uses
`-funsigned-char` on the C code. `core::ffi` maps it to platform
default ABI, which can be either signed or unsigned.
2. `long` is now always mapped to `isize`. It's very common in the
kernel to use `long` to represent a pointer-sized integer, and in
fact `intptr_t` is a typedef of `long` in the kernel. Enforce this
mapping rather than mapping to `i32/i64` depending on platform can
save us a lot of unnecessary casts.

Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates
the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types
instead of `core::ffi`.
This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit
yet.

In Rust, it is possible to `allow` particular warnings (diagnostics,
lints) locally, making the compiler ignore instances of a given warning
within a given function, module, block, etc.
It is similar to `#pragma GCC diagnostic push` + `ignored` + `pop` in C:
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
static void f(void) {}
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
But way less verbose:
#[allow(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more
diagnostics by default (i.e. outside `W=` levels) that may have some
false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to
catch potential mistakes.
The `#[expect(...)]` attribute [1] takes this further, and makes the
compiler warn if the diagnostic was _not_ produced. For instance, the
following will ensure that, when `f()` is called somewhere, we will have
to remove the attribute:
#[expect(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
If we do not, we get a warning from the compiler:
warning: this lint expectation is unfulfilled
--> x.rs:3:10
|
3 | #[expect(dead_code)]
| ^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unfulfilled_lint_expectations)]` on by default
This means that `expect`s do not get forgotten when they are not needed.
See the next commit for more details, nuances on its usage and
documentation on the feature.
The attribute requires the `lint_reasons` [2] unstable feature, but it
is becoming stable in 1.81.0 (to be released on 2024-09-05) and it has
already been useful to clean things up in this patch series, finding
cases where the `allow`s should not have been there.
Thus, enable `lint_reasons` and convert some of our `allow`s to `expect`s
where possible.
This feature was also an example of the ongoing collaboration between
Rust and the kernel -- we tested it in the kernel early on and found an
issue that was quickly resolved [3].

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports
[1], e.g.:
error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly
--> rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9
|
38 | use crate::bindings;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude
Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`.
Thus clean them up.
Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude"
above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

Traits marked with `#[vtable]` need to provide default implementations
for optional functions. The C side represents these with `NULL` in the
vtable, so the default functions are never actually called. We do not
want to replicate the default behavior from C in Rust, because that is
not maintainable. Therefore we should use `build_error` in those default
implementations. The error message for that is provided at
`kernel::error::VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR`.
