Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
     'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
     'ref_as_ptr'

     These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
     which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
     powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes

   - Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
     plural one in the previous cycle

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
     'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
     kernel parameters:

         warn_on!(value == 42);

     To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
     followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
     assembly between both C and Rust

     This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
     existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
     functional change expected there

   - 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
     'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
     'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:

         /// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
         /// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
         fn print_later(value: Arc&lt;MyStruct&gt;) {
             let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
         }

   - New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
     with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:

         static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
         static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));

         assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());

   - 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
     reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&amp;CStr'

     Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
     to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
     them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
     it to the prelude, too

   - Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
     with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
     take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
     it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
     some other cleanups

     Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
     and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances

   - 'dma' module:

      - Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature

      - Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'

      - Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'

      - Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add
        the corresponding type invariants

      - Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'

   - 'time' module:

      - Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the
        compiler to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the
        'Instant' use 'Instants' based on the same clock source

      - Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers
        take a 'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time,
        depending on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can
        check the type matches the timer mode

      - Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
        function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending
        on the requested sleep time

      - Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
        timestamps

      - Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
        'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types

      - Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'

   - 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove
     pointer arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes
     'impl_has_list_links!' or 'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other
     simplifications too

   - 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
     constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
     require 'into_foreign' to return non-null

     Remove the 'Either&lt;L, R&gt;' type as well. It is unused, and we want
     to encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases

   - 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
     to allow them to be used in generic APIs

   - 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box&lt;T, A&gt;';
     and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec&lt;T, A&gt;'

   - 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
     that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
     'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it

   - 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method

   - 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
     'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which
     we want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment
     in 'static_lock_class'

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Add 'impl&lt;T, E&gt; [Pin]Init&lt;T, E&gt; for Result&lt;T, E&gt;', so results are
     now (pin-)initializers

   - Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'

   - New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
     it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'

   - Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option&lt;&amp;T&gt;', 'Option&lt;&amp;mut T&gt;' and for
     'Option&lt;[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -&gt; ret&gt;' for
     '"Rust"' and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments

   - Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl&lt;T, E&gt;
     [Pin]Init&lt;T, E&gt; for T' to 'impl&lt;T&gt; [Pin]Init&lt;T&gt; for T'

   - Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'

   - Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
     '--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two
     '-next' branches in upstream and the kernel

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add Vlastimil Babka, Liam R. Howlett, Uladzislau Rezki and Lorenzo
     Stoakes as reviewers (thanks everyone)

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

<title>rust: types: rename Opaque::raw_get to cast_into</title>

<id>64fb810bce03a4e2b4d3ecbba04bb97da3536dd8</id>
<content type='text'>
In the previous patch we added Opaque::cast_from() that performs the
opposite operation to Opaque::raw_get(). For consistency with this
naming, rename raw_get() to cast_from().

There are a few other options such as calling cast_from() something
closer to raw_get() rather than renaming this method. However, I could
not find a great naming scheme that works with raw_get(). The previous
version of this patch used from_raw(), but functions of that name
typically have a different signature, so that's not a great option.

<title>rust: init: re-enable doctests</title>

Commit a30e94c29673 ("rust: init: make doctests compilable/testable")
made these tests buildable among others, but eventually the pin-init
crate was made into its own crate [1] and the tests were marked as
`ignore` in commit 206dea39e559 ("rust: init: disable doctests").

A few other bits got changed in that reorganization, e.g. the
`clippy::missing_safety_doc` was removed and the `expect` use.

Since there is no reason not to build/test them, re-enable them.

In order to do so, tweak a few bits to keep the build clean, and also use
again `expect` since this is one of those places where we can actually
do so.

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) -&gt; 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 '&amp;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&lt;Box&lt;_&gt;&gt;', 'Arc&lt;_&gt;', 'Pin&lt;&amp;_&gt;' and 'Pin&lt;&amp;mut _&gt;' 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"

In order to make pin-init a standalone crate, move kernel-specific code
directly into the kernel crate. This includes the `InPlaceInit&lt;T&gt;`
trait, its implementations and the implementations of `InPlaceWrite` for
`Arc` and `UniqueArc`. All of these use the kernel's error type which
will become unavailable in pin-init.

Move the ability to just write `try_pin_init!(Foo { a &lt;- a_init })`
(note the missing `? Error` at the end) into the kernel crate.
Remove this notation from the pin-init crate, since the default when no
error is specified is the kernel-internal `Error` type. Instead add two
macros in the kernel crate that serve this default and are used instead
of the ones from `pin-init`.

This is done, because the `Error` type that is used as the default is
from the kernel crate and it thus prevents making the pin-init crate
standalone.

In order to not cause a build error due to a name overlap, the macros in
the pin-init crate are renamed, but this change is reverted in a future
commit when it is a standalone crate.
