Merge tag 'rust-6.20-7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux
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"

rust: pin-init: internal: init: add escape hatch for referencing initialized fields
The initializer macro emits mutable references for already initialized fields, which allows modifying or accessing them later in code blocks or when initializing other fields. This behavior results in compiler errors when combining with packed structs, since those do not permit creating references to misaligned fields. For example:
#[repr(C, packed)] struct Foo { a: i8, b: i32, }
fn main() { let _ = init!(Foo { a: -42, b: 42 }); }
This will lead to an error like this:
error[E0793]: reference to field of packed struct is unaligned --> tests/ui/compile-fail/init/packed_struct.rs:10:13 | 10 | let _ = init!(Foo { a: -42, b: 42 }); | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: this struct is 1-byte aligned, but the type of this field may require higher alignment = note: creating a misaligned reference is undefined behavior (even if that reference is never dereferenced) = help: copy the field contents to a local variable, or replace the reference with a raw pointer and use `read_unaligned`/`write_unaligned` (loads and stores via `*p` must be properly aligned even when using raw pointers) = note: this error originates in the macro `init` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
This was requested by Janne Grunau [1] and will most certainly be used by the kernel when we eventually end up with trying to initialize packed structs.
Thus add an initializer attribute `#[disable_initialized_field_access]` that does what the name suggests: do not generate references to already initialized fields.
There is space for future work: add yet another attribute which can be applied on fields of initializers that ask for said field to be made accessible. We can add that when the need arises.

rust: pin-init: internal: init: add support for attributes on initializer fields
Initializer fields ought to support the same attributes that are allowed in struct initializers on fields. For example, `cfg` or lint levels such as `expect`, `allow` etc. Add parsing support for these attributes using syn to initializer fields and adjust the macro expansion accordingly.

rust: pin-init: rewrite the initializer macros using `syn`
Rewrite the initializer macros `[pin_]init!` using `syn`. No functional changes intended aside from improved error messages on syntactic and semantical errors. For example if one forgets to use `<-` with an initializer (and instead uses `:`):
impl Bar { fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> { ... } }
impl Foo { fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> { pin_init!(Self { bar: Bar::new() }) } }
Then the declarative macro would report:
error[E0308]: mismatched types --> tests/ui/compile-fail/init/colon_instead_of_arrow.rs:21:9 | 14 | fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> { | ------------------ the found opaque type ... 21 | pin_init!(Self { bar: Bar::new() }) | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | | | expected `Bar`, found opaque type | arguments to this function are incorrect | = note: expected struct `Bar` found opaque type `impl pin_init::PinInit<Bar>` note: function defined here --> $RUST/core/src/ptr/mod.rs | | pub const unsafe fn write<T>(dst: *mut T, src: T) { | ^^^^^ = note: this error originates in the macro `$crate::__init_internal` which comes from the expansion of the macro `pin_init` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
And the new error is:
error[E0308]: mismatched types --> tests/ui/compile-fail/init/colon_instead_of_arrow.rs:21:31 | 14 | fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> { | ------------------ the found opaque type ... 21 | pin_init!(Self { bar: Bar::new() }) | --- ^^^^^^^^^^ expected `Bar`, found opaque type | | | arguments to this function are incorrect | = note: expected struct `Bar` found opaque type `impl pin_init::PinInit<Bar>` note: function defined here --> $RUST/core/src/ptr/mod.rs | | pub const unsafe fn write<T>(dst: *mut T, src: T) { | ^^^^^
Importantly, this error gives much more accurate span locations, pointing to the offending field, rather than the entire macro invocation.
