Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Add '__rust_helper' annotation to the C helpers
This is needed to inline these helpers into Rust code
- Remove imports available via the prelude, treewide
This was possible thanks to a new lint in Klint that Gary has
implemented -- more Klint-related changes, including initial
upstream support, are coming
- Deduplicate pin-init flags
'kernel' crate:
- Add support for calling a function exactly once with the new
'do_once_lite!' macro (and 'OnceLite' type)
Based on this, add 'pr_*_once!' macros to print only once
- Add 'impl_flags!' macro for defining common bitflags operations:
impl_flags!(
/// Represents multiple permissions.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Default, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub struct Permissions(u32);
/// Represents a single permission.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
pub enum Permission {
/// Read permission.
Read = 1 << 0,
/// Write permission.
Write = 1 << 1,
/// Execute permission.
Execute = 1 << 2,
}
);
let mut f: Permissions = Permission::Read | Permission::Write;
assert!(f.contains(Permission::Read));
assert!(!f.contains(Permission::Execute));
f |= Permission::Execute;
assert!(f.contains(Permission::Execute));
let f2: Permissions = Permission::Write | Permission::Execute;
assert!((f ^ f2).contains(Permission::Read));
assert!(!(f ^ f2).contains(Permission::Write));
- 'bug' module: support 'CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE_DETAILED' in the
'warn_on!' macro in order to show the evaluated condition alongside
the file path:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: [val == 1] linux/samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs:27 at ...
Modules linked in: rust_minimal(+)
- Add safety module with 'unsafe_precondition_assert!' macro,
currently a wrapper for 'debug_assert!', intended to mark the
validation of safety preconditions where possible:
/// # Safety
///
/// The caller must ensure that `index` is less than `N`.
unsafe fn set_unchecked(&mut self, index: usize, value: T) {
unsafe_precondition_assert!(
index < N,
"set_unchecked() requires index ({index}) < N ({N})"
);
...
}
- Add instructions to 'build_assert!' documentation requesting to
always inline functions when used with function arguments
- 'ptr' module: replace 'build_assert!' with a 'const' one
- 'rbtree' module: reduce unsafe blocks on pointer derefs
- 'transmute' module: implement 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes' for
inhabited ZSTs, and use it in Nova
- More treewide replacements of 'c_str!' with C string literals
'macros' crate:
- Rewrite most procedural macros ('module!', 'concat_idents!',
'#[export]', '#[vtable]', '#[kunit_tests]') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
This also allows to support '#[cfg]' properly in the '#[vtable]'
macro, to support arbitrary types in 'module!' macro (not just an
identifier) and to remove several custom parsing helpers we had
- Use 'quote!' from the recently vendored 'quote' library and remove
our custom one
The vendored one also allows us to avoid quoting '"' and '{}'
inside the template anymore and editors can now highlight it. In
addition, it improves robustness as it eliminates the need for
string quoting and escaping
- Use 'pin_init::zeroed()' to simplify KUnit code
'pin-init' crate:
- Rewrite all procedural macros ('[pin_]init!', '#[pin_data]',
'#[pinned_drop]', 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)') to use the 'syn'
parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
diagnostics
- Implement 'InPlaceWrite' for '&'static mut MaybeUninit<T>'. This
enables users to use external allocation mechanisms such as
'static_cell'
- Support tuple structs in 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)'
- Support attributes on fields in '[pin_]init!' (such as
'#[cfg(...)]')
- Add a '#[default_error(<type>)]' attribute to '[pin_]init!' to
override the default error (when no '? Error' is specified)
- Support packed structs in '[pin_]init!' with
'#[disable_initialized_field_access]'
- Remove 'try_[pin_]init!' in favor of merging their feature with
'[pin_]init!'. Update the kernel's own 'try_[pin_]init!' macros to
use the 'default_error' attribute
- Correct 'T: Sized' bounds to 'T: ?Sized' in the generated
'PinnedDrop' check by '#[pin_data]'
Documentation:
- Conclude the Rust experiment
MAINTAINERS:
- Add "RUST [RUST-ANALYZER]" entry for the rust-analyzer support.
Tamir and Jesung will take care of it. They have both been active
around it for a while. The new tree will flow through the Rust one
- Add Gary as maintainer for "RUST [PIN-INIT]"
- Update Boqun and Tamir emails to their kernel.org accounts
And a few other cleanups and improvements"
