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<MyStruct>) {
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 '&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<L, R>' 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<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'.
- '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<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', 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<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for '"Rust"'
and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments.
- Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl<T, E>
[Pin]Init<T, E> for T' to 'impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> 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.

A few new dependencies are required to remove some of the TODO items:
- A way to safely convert from byte slices to types implementing
`FromBytes`,
- A way to obtain slices and write into a `CoherentAllocation`,
- Several improvements to the `register!()` macro,
- Alignment operations to powers of two, and an equivalent to the C
`fls`,
- Support for `xa_alloc` in the XAlloc bindings.
Some items have also become obsolete:
- The auxiliary bus abstractions have been implemented and are in use,
- The ELF utilities are not considered for being part of the core kernel
bindings anymore.
- VBIOS, falcon and GPU timer have been completed.
We now have quite a few TODO entries in the code, so annotate them with
a 4 letter code representing the corresponding task in `todo.rst`. This
allows to easily find which part of the code corresponds to a given
entry (and conversely).

Before Rust 1.29.0, Clippy introduced the `cast_lossless` lint [1]:
> Rust’s `as` keyword will perform many kinds of conversions, including
> silently lossy conversions. Conversion functions such as `i32::from`
> will only perform lossless conversions. Using the conversion functions
> prevents conversions from becoming silently lossy if the input types
> ever change, and makes it clear for people reading the code that the
> conversion is lossless.
While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such
conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of
removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the
changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

The layout of NV_PMC_BOOT_0 has two small issues:
- The "chipset" field, while useful to identify a chip, is actually an
aggregate of two distinct fields named "architecture" and
"implementation".
- The "architecture" field is split, with its MSB being at a different
location than the rest of its bits.
Redefine the register layout to match its actual definition as provided
by OpenRM and expose the fully-constructed "architecture" field through
our own "Architecture" type. The "chipset" pseudo-field is also useful
to have, so keep providing it.

Add the register!() macro, which defines a given register's layout and
provide bit-field accessors with a way to convert them to a given type.
This macro will allow us to make clear definitions of the registers and
manipulate their fields safely.
The long-term goal is to eventually move it to the kernel crate so it
can be used by other drivers as well, but it was agreed to first land it
into nova-core and make it mature there.
To illustrate its usage, use it to define the layout for the Boot0
(renamed to NV_PMC_BOOT_0 to match OpenRM's naming scheme) and take
advantage of its accessors.

Add the initial nova-core driver stub.
nova-core is intended to serve as a common base for nova-drm (the
corresponding DRM driver) and the vGPU manager VFIO driver, serving as a
hard- and firmware abstraction layer for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs.
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term,
is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs.
The motivation for both, starting a successor project for Nouveau and
doing so using the Rust programming language, is documented in detail
through a previous post on the mailing list [1], an LWN article [2] and a
talk from LPC '24.
