While we have a Rust version upgrade, and thus a bunch of changes from the vendored 'alloc' crate as usual, this time those do not account for many lines. Toolchain and infrastructure: - Upgrade to Rust 1.71.1. This is the second such upgrade, which is a smaller jump compared to the last time. This version allows us to remove the '__rust_*' allocator functions -- the compiler now generates them as expected, thus now our 'KernelAllocator' is used. It also introduces the 'offset_of!' macro in the standard library (as an unstable feature) which we will need soon. So far, we were using a declarative macro as a prerequisite in some not-yet-landed patch series, which did not support sub-fields (i.e. nested structs): #[repr(C)] struct S { a: u16, b: (u8, u8), } assert_eq!(offset_of!(S, b.1), 3); - Upgrade to bindgen 0.65.1. This is the first time we upgrade its version. Given it is a fairly big jump, it comes with a fair number of improvements/changes that affect us, such as a fix needed to support LLVM 16 as well as proper support for '__noreturn' C functions, which are now mapped to return the '!' type in Rust: void __noreturn f(void); // C pub fn f() -> !; // Rust - 'scripts/rust_is_available.sh' improvements and fixes.

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "In terms of lines, most changes this time are on the pinned-init API
  and infrastructure. While we have a Rust version upgrade, and thus a
  bunch of changes from the vendored 'alloc' crate as usual, this time
  those do not account for many lines.

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Upgrade to Rust 1.71.1. This is the second such upgrade, which is a
     smaller jump compared to the last time.

     This version allows us to remove the '__rust_*' allocator functions
     -- the compiler now generates them as expected, thus now our
     'KernelAllocator' is used.

     It also introduces the 'offset_of!' macro in the standard library
     (as an unstable feature) which we will need soon. So far, we were
     using a declarative macro as a prerequisite in some not-yet-landed
     patch series, which did not support sub-fields (i.e. nested
     structs):

         #[repr(C)]
         struct S {
             a: u16,
             b: (u8, u8),
         }

         assert_eq!(offset_of!(S, b.1), 3);

   - Upgrade to bindgen 0.65.1. This is the first time we upgrade its
     version.

     Given it is a fairly big jump, it comes with a fair number of
     improvements/changes that affect us, such as a fix needed to
     support LLVM 16 as well as proper support for '__noreturn' C
     functions, which are now mapped to return the '!' type in Rust:

         void __noreturn f(void); // C
         pub fn f() -> !;         // Rust

   - 'scripts/rust_is_available.sh' improvements and fixes.

     This series takes care of all the issues known so far and adds a
     few new checks to cover for even more cases, plus adds some more
     help texts. All this together will hopefully make problematic
     setups easier to identify and to be solved by users building the
     kernel.

     In addition, it adds a test suite which covers all branches of the
     shell script, as well as tests for the issues found so far.

   - Support rust-analyzer for out-of-tree modules too.

   - Give 'cfg's to rust-analyzer for the 'core' and 'alloc' crates.

   - Drop 'scripts/is_rust_module.sh' since it is not needed anymore.

  Macros crate:

   - New 'paste!' proc macro.

     This macro is a more flexible version of 'concat_idents!': it
     allows the resulting identifier to be used to declare new items and
     it allows to transform the identifiers before concatenating them,
     e.g.

         let x_1 = 42;
         paste!(let [<x _2>] = [<x _1>];);
         assert!(x_1 == x_2);

     The macro is then used for several of the pinned-init API changes
     in this pull.

  Pinned-init API:

   - Make '#[pin_data]' compatible with conditional compilation of
     fields, allowing to write code like:

         #[pin_data]
         pub struct Foo {
             #[cfg(CONFIG_BAR)]
             a: Bar,
             #[cfg(not(CONFIG_BAR))]
             a: Baz,
         }

   - New '#[derive(Zeroable)]' proc macro for the 'Zeroable' trait,
     which allows 'unsafe' implementations for structs where every field
     implements the 'Zeroable' trait, e.g.:

         #[derive(Zeroable)]
         pub struct DriverData {
             id: i64,
             buf_ptr: *mut u8,
             len: usize,
         }

   - Add '..Zeroable::zeroed()' syntax to the 'pin_init!' macro for
     zeroing all other fields, e.g.:

         pin_init!(Buf {
             buf: [1; 64],
             ..Zeroable::zeroed()
         });

   - New '{,pin_}init_array_from_fn()' functions to create array
     initializers given a generator function, e.g.:

         let b: Box<[usize; 1_000]> = Box::init::<Error>(
             init_array_from_fn(|i| i)
         ).unwrap();

         assert_eq!(b.len(), 1_000);
         assert_eq!(b[123], 123);

   - New '{,pin_}chain' methods for '{,Pin}Init<T, E>' that allow to
     execute a closure on the value directly after initialization, e.g.:

         let foo = init!(Foo {
             buf <- init::zeroed()
         }).chain(|foo| {
             foo.setup();
             Ok(())
         });

   - Support arbitrary paths in init macros, instead of just identifiers
     and generic types.

   - Implement the 'Zeroable' trait for the 'UnsafeCell<T>' and
     'Opaque<T>' types.

   - Make initializer values inaccessible after initialization.

   - Make guards in the init macros hygienic.

  'allocator' module:

   - Use 'krealloc_aligned()' in 'KernelAllocator::alloc' preventing
     misaligned allocations when the Rust 1.71.1 upgrade is applied
     later in this pull.

     The equivalent fix for the previous compiler version (where
     'KernelAllocator' is not yet used) was merged into 6.5 already,
     which added the 'krealloc_aligned()' function used here.

   - Implement 'KernelAllocator::{realloc, alloc_zeroed}' for
     performance, using 'krealloc_aligned()' too, which forwards the
     call to the C API.

  'types' module:

   - Make 'Opaque' be '!Unpin', removing the need to add a
     'PhantomPinned' field to Rust structs that contain C structs which
     must not be moved.

   - Make 'Opaque' use 'UnsafeCell' as the outer type, rather than
     inner.

  Documentation:

   - Suggest obtaining the source code of the Rust's 'core' library
     using the tarball instead of the repository.

rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2 2023-05-31T15:35:03+00:00 Miguel Ojeda ojeda@kernel.org 2023-04-18T21:43:47+00:00 3ed03f4da06ede71ac53cf25b9441a372e9f2487 This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest). # Context The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2] which do not promise backwards compatibility. The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel will support is "in the future". # Upgrade policy Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs. half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC. Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead, kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones, especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back / downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks. Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit 3519c4d6e08e ("Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm version"). # Unstable features stabilized This upgrade allows us to remove the following unstable features since they were stabilized: - `feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait)` (1.63). - `feature(core_ffi_c)` (1.64). - `feature(generic_associated_types)` (1.65). - `feature(const_ptr_offset_from)` (1.65, *). - `feature(bench_black_box)` (1.66, *). - `feature(pin_macro)` (1.68). The ones marked with `*` apply only to our old `rust` branch, not mainline yet, i.e. only for code that we may potentially upstream. With this patch applied, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [2] for details. # Other required changes Since 1.63, `rustdoc` triggers the `broken_intra_doc_links` lint for links pointing to exported (`#[macro_export]`) `macro_rules`.

This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust
merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest).

# Context

The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather
than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2]
which do not promise backwards compatibility.

The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for
the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be
stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel
will support is "in the future".

# Upgrade policy

Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be
ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as
possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we
could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading
so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC
and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs.
half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC.

Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly
either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be
able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel
anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead,
kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust
release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones,
especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back /
downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may
not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide
and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks.

Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and
decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of
Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it
over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit
3519c4d6e08e ("Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm version").

# Unstable features stabilized

This upgrade allows us to remove the following unstable features since
they were stabilized:

  - `feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait)` (1.63).
  - `feature(core_ffi_c)` (1.64).
  - `feature(generic_associated_types)` (1.65).
  - `feature(const_ptr_offset_from)` (1.65, *).
  - `feature(bench_black_box)` (1.66, *).
  - `feature(pin_macro)` (1.68).

The ones marked with `*` apply only to our old `rust` branch, not
mainline yet, i.e. only for code that we may potentially upstream.

With this patch applied, the only unstable feature allowed to be used
outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.

Please see [2] for details.

# Other required changes

Since 1.63, `rustdoc` triggers the `broken_intra_doc_links` lint for
links pointing to exported (`#[macro_export]`) `macro_rules`. An issue
was opened upstream [4], but it turns out it is intended behavior. For
the moment, just add an explicit reference for each link. Later we can
revisit this if `rustdoc` removes the compatibility measure.

Nevertheless, this was helpful to discover a link that was pointing to
the wrong place unintentionally. Since that one was actually wrong, it
is fixed in a previous commit independently.

Another change was the addition of `cfg(no_rc)` and `cfg(no_sync)` in
upstream [5], thus remove our original changes for that.

Similarly, upstream now tests that it compiles successfully with
`#[cfg(not(no_global_oom_handling))]` [6], which allow us to get rid
of some changes, such as an `#[allow(dead_code)]`.

In addition, remove another `#[allow(dead_code)]` due to new uses
within the standard library.

Finally, add `try_extend_trusted` and move the code in `spec_extend.rs`
since upstream moved it for the infallible version.

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

There are a large amount of changes, but the vast majority of them are
due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.
