This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.77.1 to 1.78.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

It is much smaller than previous upgrades, since the `alloc` fork was
dropped in commit 9d0441bab775 ("rust: alloc: remove our fork of the
`alloc` crate") [3].

# Unstable features

There have been no changes to the set of unstable features used in
our own code. Therefore, the only unstable features allowed to be used
outside the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`.

However, since we finally dropped our `alloc` fork [3], all the unstable
features used by `alloc` (~30 language ones, ~60 library ones) are not
a concern anymore. This reduces the maintenance burden, increases the
chances of new compiler versions working without changes and gets us
closer to the goal of supporting several compiler versions.

It also means that, ignoring non-language/library features, we are
currently left with just the few language features needed to implement the
kernel `Arc`, the `new_uninit` library feature, the `compiler_builtins`
marker and the few `no_*` `cfg`s we pass when compiling `core`/`alloc`.

Please see [4] for details.

# Required changes

## LLVM's data layout

Rust 1.77.0 (i.e. the previous upgrade) introduced a check for matching
LLVM data layouts [5]. Then, Rust 1.78.0 upgraded LLVM's bundled major
version from 17 to 18 [6], which changed the data layout in x86 [7]. Thus
update the data layout in our custom target specification for x86 so
that the compiler does not complain about the mismatch:

    error: data-layout for target `target-5559158138856098584`,
    `e-m:e-p270:32:32-p271:32:32-p272:64:64-i64:64-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128`,
    differs from LLVM target's `x86_64-linux-gnu` default layout,
    `e-m:e-p270:32:32-p271:32:32-p272:64:64-i64:64-i128:128-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128`

In the future, the goal is to drop the custom target specifications.
Meanwhile, if we want to support other LLVM versions used in `rustc`
(e.g. for LTO), we will need to add some extra logic (e.g. conditional on
LLVM's version, or extracting the data layout from an existing built-in
target specification).

## `unused_imports`

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
Now, in 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports [8].
Thus one of the previous patches cleaned them up.

## Clippy's `new_without_default`

Clippy now suggests to implement `Default` even when `new()` is `const`,
since `Default::default()` may call `const` functions even if it is not
`const` itself [9]. Thus one of the previous patches implemented it.

# Other changes in Rust

Rust 1.78.0 introduced `feature(asm_goto)` [10] [11]. This feature was
discussed in the past [12].

Rust 1.78.0 introduced `feature(const_refs_to_static)` [13] to allow
referencing statics in constants and extended `feature(const_mut_refs)`
to allow raw mutable pointers in constants. Together, this should cover
the kernel's `VTABLE` use case. In fact, the implementation [14] in
upstream Rust added a test case for it [15].

Rust 1.78.0 with debug assertions enabled (i.e. `-Cdebug-assertions=y`,
kernel's `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`) now always checks all unsafe
preconditions, though without a way to opt-out for particular cases [16].
It would be ideal to have a way to selectively disable certain checks
per-call site for this one (i.e. not just per check but for particular
instances of a check), even if the vast majority of the checks remain
in place [17].

Rust 1.78.0 also improved a couple issues we reported when giving feedback
for the new `--check-cfg` feature [18] [19].

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

As mentioned above, compiler upgrades will not update `alloc` anymore,
since we dropped our `alloc` fork [3].

Rust 1.74.0 introduced (unstable) support for the
`-Zdebuginfo-compression` flag, thus use it.

Note that the releases built by the Rust project (i.e. the ones provided
by rustup) do not enable support for zstd in their bundled LLVM (yet,
at least), thus the Rust compiler will warn, but the build will proceed:

    warning: unknown debuginfo compression algorithm zstd - will fall
    back to uncompressed debuginfo

<content type='text'>
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.76.0 to 1.77.1
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

The `offset_of` feature (single-field `offset_of!`) that we were using
got stabilized in Rust 1.77.0 [3].

Therefore, now the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the
`kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may
increase the list.

Please see [4] for details.

# Required changes

Rust 1.77.0 merged the `unused_tuple_struct_fields` lint into `dead_code`,
thus upgrading it from `allow` to `warn` [5]. In turn, this made `rustc`
complain about the `ThisModule`'s pointer field being never read, but
the previous patch adds the `as_ptr` method to it, needed by Binder [6],
so that we do not need to locally `allow` it.

# Other changes

Rust 1.77.0 introduces the `--check-cfg` feature [7], for which there
is a Call for Testing going on [8]. We were requested to test it and
we found it useful [9] -- we will likely enable it in the future.

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R &gt; old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R &gt; new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

Commit c8fb7d7e48d1 ("kconfig: fix broken dependency in randconfig-
generated .config") fixed the issue, but I did not add a test case.

This commit adds a test case that emulates the reported situation.
The test would fail without c8fb7d7e48d1.

To handle the choice "choose X", FOO must be calculated beforehand.
FOO depends on A, which is a member of another choice "choose A or B".
Kconfig _temporarily_ assumes the value of A to proceed. The choice
"choose A or B" will be shuffled later, but the result may or may not
meet "FOO depends on A". Kconfig should invalidate the symbol values
and recompute them.

In the real example for ARCH=arm64, the choice "Instrumentation type"
needs the value of CPU_BIG_ENDIAN. The choice "Endianness" will be
shuffled later.

symbols in randconfig"), conf_set_all_new_symbols() is repeated until
there is no more choice left to be shuffled. The motivation was to
shuffle a choice nested in another choice.

Although commit 09d5873e4d1f ("kconfig: allow only 'config', 'comment',
and 'if' inside 'choice'") disallowed the nested choice structure,
we must still keep 3b9a19e08960 because there are still cases where
conf_set_all_new_symbols() must iterate.

scripts/kconfig/tests/choice_randomize/Kconfig is the test case.
The second choice depends on 'B', which is the member of the first
choice.

With 3b9a19e08960 reverted, we would never get the pattern specified by
scripts/kconfig/tests/choice_randomize/expected_config2.

A real example can be found in lib/Kconfig.debug. Without 3b9a19e08960,
the randconfig would not shuffle the "Compressed Debug information"
choice, which depends on DEBUG_INFO, which is derived from another
choice "Debug information".

My goal is to refactor Kconfig so that randconfig will work more
simply, without using the loop.

For now, let's add a test case to ensure all dependent choices are
shuffled, as it is a somewhat tricky case for the current Kconfig.
