Linus Torvalds 352af6a011 Rust changes for v6.17
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.

    Stoakes as reviewers (thanks everyone).
 
 And a few other cleanups and improvements.

///
/// This can be done "manually" by using [`match`]. Using [`match`] to decode
/// the [`Result`] is similar to C where all the return value decoding and the
/// error handling is done explicitly by writing handling code for each
/// error to cover. Using [`match`] the error and success handling can be
/// implemented in all detail as required. For example (inspired by
/// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]):
///
/// ```
/// # #[allow(clippy::single_match)]
/// fn example() -> Result {
/// let mut numbers = KVec::new();
///
/// match numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
/// Err(e) => {
/// pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
/// return Err(e.into());
/// }
/// // Do nothing, continue.
/// Ok(()) => (),
/// }
///
/// match numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
/// Err(e) => {
/// pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
/// return Err(e.into());
/// }
/// // Do nothing, continue.
/// Ok(()) => (),
/// }
///
/// match numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
/// Err(e) => {
/// pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
/// return Err(e.into());
/// }
/// // Do nothing, continue.
/// Ok(()) => (),
/// }
///
/// Ok(())
/// }
/// # example()?;
/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
/// ```
///
/// An alternative to be more concise is the [`if let`] syntax:
///
/// ```
/// fn example() -> Result {
/// let mut numbers = KVec::new();
///
/// if let Err(e) = numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL) {
/// pr_err!("Error pushing 72: {e:?}");
/// return Err(e.into());
/// }
///
/// if let Err(e) = numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL) {
/// pr_err!("Error pushing 108: {e:?}");
/// return Err(e.into());
/// }
///
/// if let Err(e) = numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL) {
/// pr_err!("Error pushing 200: {e:?}");
/// return Err(e.into());
/// }
///
/// Ok(())
/// }
/// # example()?;
/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
/// ```
///
/// Instead of these verbose [`match`]/[`if let`], the [`?`] operator can
/// be used to handle the [`Result`]. Using the [`?`] operator is often
/// the best choice to handle [`Result`] in a non-verbose way as done in
/// [`samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs`]:
///
/// ```
/// fn example() -> Result {
/// let mut numbers = KVec::new();
///
/// numbers.push(72, GFP_KERNEL)?;
/// numbers.push(108, GFP_KERNEL)?;
/// numbers.push(200, GFP_KERNEL)?;
///
/// Ok(())
/// }
/// # example()?;
/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
/// ```
///
/// Another possibility is to call [`unwrap()`](Result::unwrap) or
/// [`expect()`](Result::expect). However, use of these functions is
/// *heavily discouraged* in the kernel because they trigger a Rust
/// [`panic!`] if an error happens, which may destabilize the system or
/// entirely break it as a result -- just like the C [`BUG()`] macro.
/// Please see the documentation for the C macro [`BUG()`] for guidance
/// on when to use these functions.
///
/// Alternatively, depending on the use case, using [`unwrap_or()`],
/// [`unwrap_or_else()`], [`unwrap_or_default()`] or [`unwrap_unchecked()`]
/// might be an option, as well.
///
