Merge tag 'rust-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux

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

- Finish the move to custom FFI integer types started in the previous
cycle and finally map 'long' to 'isize' and 'char' to 'u8'. Do a
few cleanups on top thanks to that.

- Start to use 'derive(CoercePointee)' on Rust >= 1.84.0.

This is a major milestone on the path to build the kernel using
only stable Rust features. In particular, previously we were using
the unstable features 'coerce_unsized', 'dispatch_from_dyn' and
'unsize', and now we will use the new 'derive_coerce_pointee' one,
which is on track to stabilization. This new feature is a macro
that essentially expands into code that internally uses the
unstable features that we were using before, without having to
expose those.

With it, stable Rust users, including the kernel, will be able to
build custom smart pointers that work with trait objects, e.g.:

fn f(p: &Arc<dyn Display>) {
pr_info!("{p}\n");
}

let a: Arc<dyn Display> = Arc::new(42i32, GFP_KERNEL)?;
let b: Arc<dyn Display> = Arc::new("hello there", GFP_KERNEL)?;

f(&a); // Prints "42".
f(&b); // Prints "hello there".

Together with the 'arbitrary_self_types' feature that we started
using in the previous cycle, using our custom smart pointers like
'Arc' will eventually only rely in stable Rust.

- Introduce 'PROCMACROLDFLAGS' environment variable to allow to link
Rust proc macros using different flags than those used for linking
Rust host programs (e.g. when 'rustc' uses a different C library
than the host programs' one), which Android needs.

- Help kernel builds under macOS with Rust enabled by accomodating
other naming conventions for dynamic libraries (i.e. '.so' vs.
'.dylib') which are used for Rust procedural macros. The actual
support for macOS (i.e. the rest of the pieces needed) is provided
out-of-tree by others, following the policy used for other parts of
the kernel by Kbuild.

- Run Clippy for 'rusttest' code too and clean the bits it spotted.

- Provide Clippy with the minimum supported Rust version to improve
the suggestions it gives.

- Document 'bindgen' 0.71.0 regression.

'kernel' crate:

- 'build_error!': move users of the hidden function to the documented
macro, prevent such uses in the future by moving the function
elsewhere and add the macro to the prelude.

- 'types' module: add improved version of 'ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut'
(which was removed in the past since it was problematic); change
'ForeignOwnable' pointer type to '*mut'.

- 'alloc' module: implement 'Display' for 'Box' and align the 'Debug'
implementation to it; add example (doctest) for 'ArrayLayout::new()'

- 'sync' module: document 'PhantomData' in 'Arc'; use
'NonNull::new_unchecked' in 'ForeignOwnable for Arc' impl.

- 'uaccess' module: accept 'Vec's with different allocators in
'UserSliceReader::read_all'.

- 'workqueue' module: enable run-testing a couple more doctests.

- 'error' module: simplify 'from_errno()'.

- 'block' module: fix formatting in code documentation (a lint to catch
these is being implemented).

- Avoid 'unwrap()'s in doctests, which also improves the examples by
showing how kernel code is supposed to be written.

- Avoid 'as' casts with 'cast{,_mut}' calls which are a bit safer.

And a few other cleanups"

rust: kernel: add improved version of `ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut`

Previously, the `ForeignOwnable` trait had a method called `borrow_mut`
that was intended to provide mutable access to the inner value. However,
the method accidentally made it possible to change the address of the
object being modified, which usually isn't what we want. (And when we
want that, it can be done by calling `from_foreign` and `into_foreign`,
like how the old `borrow_mut` was implemented.)

In this patch, we introduce an alternate definition of `borrow_mut` that
solves the previous problem. Conceptually, given a pointer type `P` that
implements `ForeignOwnable`, the `borrow_mut` method gives you the same
kind of access as an `&mut P` would, except that it does not let you
change the pointer `P` itself.

This is analogous to how the existing `borrow` method provides the same
kind of access to the inner value as an `&P`.

Note that for types like `Arc`, having an `&mut Arc<T>` only gives you
immutable access to the inner `T`. This is because mutable references
assume exclusive access, but there might be other handles to the same
reference counted value, so the access isn't exclusive. The `Arc` type
implements this by making `borrow_mut` return the same type as `borrow`.

rust: alloc: implement Display for Box

Currently `impl Display` is missing for `Box<T, A>`, as a result,
things like using `Box<..>` directly as an operand in `pr_info!()`

std.

Therefore add `impl Display` for `Box`.

Merge tag 'rust-6.13' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux

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

- Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the
compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as
unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a
frequent source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide
new developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very
nice.

- Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized
in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was
_not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up
locally ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s).

- Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust
linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance,
our first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more
importantly, enabling the checking of private items.

- Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above.

- Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the
kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is
the support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e.
as receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc'
that common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has
been accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps
required to get there.

- Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature.

- Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our
custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi'
one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle.

- Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize'
instead of 32/64-bit integers.

- Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins.

- Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue
in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming
tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some
distributions backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All
major distributions we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS.

'macros' crate:

- Adapt the build system to be able run the doctests there too; and
clean up and enable the corresponding doctests.

'kernel' crate:

- Add 'alloc' module with generic kernel allocator support and remove
the dependency on the Rust standard library 'alloc' and the
extension traits we used to provide fallible methods with flags.

Add the 'Allocator' trait and its implementations '{K,V,KV}malloc'.
Add the 'Box' type (a heap allocation for a single value of type
'T' that is also generic over an allocator and considers the
kernel's GFP flags) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Box'. Add
'ArrayLayout' type. Add 'Vec' (a contiguous growable array type)
and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Vec', including iterator
support.

For instance, now we may write code such as:

let mut v = KVec::new();
v.push(1, GFP_KERNEL)?;
assert_eq!(&v, &[1]);

Treewide, move as well old users to these new types.

- 'sync' module: add global lock support, including the
'GlobalLockBackend' trait; the 'Global{Lock,Guard,LockedBy}' types
and the 'global_lock!' macro. Add the 'Lock::try_lock' method.

- 'error' module: optimize 'Error' type to use 'NonZeroI32' and make
conversion functions public.

- 'page' module: add 'page_align' function.

- Add 'transmute' module with the existing 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes'
traits.

- 'block::mq::request' module: improve rendered documentation.

- 'types' module: extend 'Opaque' type documentation and add simple
examples for the 'Either' types.

drm/panic:

- Clean up a series of Clippy warnings.

Documentation:

- Add coding guidelines for lints and the '#[expect]' feature.

- Add Ubuntu to the list of distributions in the Quick Start guide.

MAINTAINERS:

- Add Danilo Krummrich as maintainer of the new 'alloc' module.

allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains
independent from unstable features.
