Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
  toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.

  The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
  we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
  Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
  plus beta, plus nightly.

  This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
  that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
  Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
  Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
  openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.

  In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
  CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
  compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
  passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
  their CI too.

  Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
  unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
  in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
  need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
  compiler versions should generally work.

  In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
  stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
  flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].

  I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
  promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support several Rust toolchain versions.

   - Support several bindgen versions.

   - Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
     'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.

   - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.

   - Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.

   - Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
     macro.

  'macros' crate:

   - Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.

   - Improve 'module!' macro documentation.

  Documentation:

   - Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
     the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.

   - Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.

   - Explain '#[no_std]'.

  And a few other small bits"

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1.

  Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving
  which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes
  in here are:

   - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases
     to get here, finally!)

   - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core
     interactions.

     It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type
     of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust
     drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which
     others can start their work.

     There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of
     rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step.

   - driver core const api changes.

     This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for
     some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook
     out.

     This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe,
     as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to
     put driver structures into read-only memory. We aren't there yet,
     but are getting closer.

   - minor devres cleanups and fixes found by code inspection

   - arch_topology minor changes

   - other minor driver core cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for a very long time with no
  reported problems"

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
 "The most prominent change this time is the kmem_buckets based
  hardening of kmalloc() allocations from Kees Cook.

  We have also extended the kmalloc() alignment guarantees for
  non-power-of-two sizes in a way that benefits rust.

  The rest are various cleanups and non-critical fixups.

   - Dedicated bucket allocator (Kees Cook)

     This series [1] enhances the probabilistic defense against heap
     spraying/grooming of CONFIG_RANDOM_KMALLOC_CACHES from last year.

     kmalloc() users that are known to be useful for exploits can get
     completely separate set of kmalloc caches that can't be shared with
     other users. The first converted users are alloc_msg() and
     memdup_user().

     The hardening is enabled by CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS.

   - Extended kmalloc() alignment guarantees (Vlastimil Babka)

     For years now we have guaranteed natural alignment for power-of-two
     allocations, but nothing was defined for other sizes (in practice,
     we have two such buckets, kmalloc-96 and kmalloc-192).

     To avoid unnecessary padding in the rust layer due to its alignment
     rules, extend the guarantee so that the alignment is at least the
     largest power-of-two divisor of the requested size.

     This fits what rust needs, is a superset of the existing
     power-of-two guarantee, and does not in practice change the layout
     (and thus does not add overhead due to padding) of the kmalloc-96
     and kmalloc-192 caches, unless slab debugging is enabled for them.

   - Cleanups and non-critical fixups (Chengming Zhou, Suren
     Baghdasaryan, Matthew Willcox, Alex Shi, and Vlastimil Babka)

     Various tweaks related to the new alloc profiling code, folio
     conversion, debugging and more leftovers after SLAB"

`request_internal` must be called with one of the following function
pointers: request_firmware(), firmware_request_nowarn(),
firmware_request_platform() or request_firmware_direct().

The previous `FwFunc` alias did not guarantee this, which is unsound.

In order to fix this up, implement `FwFunc` as new type with a
corresponding type invariant.

The doctests of `Firmware` are compile-time only tests, since they
require a proper `Device` and a valid path to a (firmware) blob in order
to do something sane on runtime - we can't satisfy both of those
requirements.

Hence, configure the example as `no_run`.

Unfortunately, the kernel's Rust build system can't consider the
`no_run` attribute yet. Hence, for the meantime, wrap the example code
into a new function and never actually call it.

<title>rust: add abstraction for `struct page`</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fc6e66f4696b63b8a2645a2bcea407cb04bd0666</id>
<content type='text'>
Adds a new struct called `Page` that wraps a pointer to `struct page`.
This struct is assumed to hold ownership over the page, so that Rust
code can allocate and manage pages directly.

The page type has various methods for reading and writing into the page.
These methods will temporarily map the page to allow the operation. All
of these methods use a helper that takes an offset and length, performs
bounds checks, and returns a pointer to the given offset in the page.

This patch only adds support for pages of order zero, as that is all
Rust Binder needs. However, it is written to make it easy to add support
for higher-order pages in the future. To do that, you would add a const
generic parameter to `Page` that specifies the order. Most of the
methods do not need to be adjusted, as the logic for dealing with
mapping multiple pages at once can be isolated to just the
`with_pointer_into_page` method.

Rust Binder needs to manage pages directly as that is how transactions
are delivered: Each process has an mmap'd region for incoming
transactions. When an incoming transaction arrives, the Binder driver
will choose a region in the mmap, allocate and map the relevant pages
manually, and copy the incoming transaction directly into the page. This
architecture allows the driver to copy transactions directly from the
address space of one process to another, without an intermediate copy
to a kernel buffer.

This code is based on Wedson's page abstractions from the old rust
branch, but it has been modified by Alice by removing the incomplete
support for higher-order pages, by introducing the `with_*` helpers
to consolidate the bounds checking logic into a single place, and
various other changes.
