[ Upstream commit 0f580d5d3d9d9cd0953695cd32e43aac3a946338 ]

Commit fde578c86281 ("rust: alloc: replace aligned_size() with
Kmalloc::aligned_layout()") provides a public `aligned_layout` function
in `Kamlloc`, but not in `Cmalloc`, and thus uses of it will trigger an
error in `rusttest`.

Such a user appeared in the following commit 22ab0641b939 ("rust: drm:

commit ff64846bee0e7e3e7bc9363ebad3bab42dd27e24 upstream.

ISO C's `aligned_alloc` is partially implementation-defined; on some
systems it inherits stricter requirements from POSIX's `posix_memalign`.

This causes the call added in commit dd09538fb409 ("rust: alloc:
implement `Cmalloc` in module allocator_test") to fail on macOS because
it doesn't meet the requirements of `posix_memalign`.

Adjust the call to meet the POSIX requirement and add a comment. This
fixes failures in `make rusttest` on macOS.

commit d072acda4862f095ec9056979b654cc06a22cc68 upstream.

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.

commit dd09538fb4093176a818fcecd45114430cc5840f upstream.

So far the kernel's `Box` and `Vec` types can't be used by userspace
test cases, since all users of those types (e.g. `CString`) use kernel
allocators for instantiation.

In order to allow userspace test cases to make use of such types as
well, implement the `Cmalloc` allocator within the allocator_test module
and type alias all kernel allocators to `Cmalloc`. The `Cmalloc`
allocator uses libc's `realloc()` function as allocator backend.

commit 8362c2608ba1be635ffa22a256dfcfe51c6238cc upstream.

Implement `Allocator` for `KVmalloc`, an `Allocator` that tries to
allocate memory with `kmalloc` first and, on failure, falls back to
`vmalloc`.

All memory allocations made with `KVmalloc` end up in
`kvrealloc_noprof()`; all frees in `kvfree()`.

`Allocator`s, such as `Kmalloc`, will be used by e.g. `Box` and `Vec` in
subsequent patches, and hence this dependency propagates throughout the
whole kernel.

Add the `allocator_test` module that provides an empty implementation
for all `Allocator`s in the kernel, such that we don't break the
`rusttest` make target in subsequent patches.
