<content type='text'>
When testing a `clang` upgrade with Rust Binder, Alice encountered [1] a
build failure caused by `bindgen` not translating some symbols related to
tracepoints. This was caused by commit 2e770edd8ce1 ("[libclang] Compute
the right spelling location") changing the behavior of a function exposed
by `libclang`. `bindgen` fixed the regression in commit 600f63895f73
("Use clang_getFileLocation instead of clang_getSpellingLocation").

However, the regression fix is only available in `bindgen` versions
0.69.5 or later (it was backported for 0.69.x). This means that when
older bindgen versions are used with new versions of `libclang`, `bindgen`
may do the wrong thing, which could lead to a build failure.

Alice encountered the bug with some header files related to tracepoints,
but it could also cause build failures in other circumstances. Thus,
always emit a warning when using an old `bindgen` with a new `libclang`
so that other people do not have to spend time chasing down the same
bug.

However, testing just the version is inconvenient, since distributions
do patch their packages without changing the version, so I reduced the
issue into the following piece of code that can trigger the issue:

    #define F(x) int x##x
    F(foo);

In particular, an unpatched `bindgen` will ignore the macro expansion
and thus not provide a declaration for the exported `int`.

Thus add a build test to `rust_is_available.sh` using the code above
(that is only triggered if the versions appear to be affected), following
what we did for the 0.66.x issue.

Moreover, I checked the status in the major distributions we have
instructions for:

  - Fedora 41 was affected but is now OK, since it now ships `bindgen`
    0.69.5.

    Thanks Ben for the quick reply on the updates that were ongoing.

    Fedora 40 and earlier are OK (older `libclang`, and they also now
    carry `bindgen` 0.69.5).

  - Debian Sid was affected but is now OK, since they now ship a patched
    `bindgen` binary (0.66.1-7+b3). The issue was reported to Debian by
    email and then as a bug report [2].

    Thanks NoisyCoil and Matthias for the quick replies. NoisyCoil handled
    the needed updates. Debian may upgrade to `bindgen` 0.70.x, too.

    Debian Testing is OK (older `libclang` so far).

  - Ubuntu non-LTS (oracular) is affected. The issue was reported to Ubuntu
    by email and then as a bug report [3].

    Ubuntu LTS is not affected (older `libclang` so far).

  - Arch Linux, Gentoo Linux and openSUSE should be OK (newer `bindgen` is
    provided). Nix as well (older `libclang` so far).

This issue was also added to our "live list" that tracks issues around
distributions [4].

<title>kbuild: rust: remove the `alloc` crate and `GlobalAlloc`</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we have our own `Allocator`, `Box` and `Vec` types we can remove
Rust's `alloc` crate and the `new_uninit` unstable feature.

Also remove `Kmalloc`'s `GlobalAlloc` implementation -- we can't remove
this in a separate patch, since the `alloc` crate requires a
`#[global_allocator]` to set, that implements `GlobalAlloc`.

<title>rust: enable arbitrary_self_types and remove `Receiver`</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.kobert.dev/pm24.git/commit/?id=c95bbb59a9b22f9b838b15d28319185c1c884329'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c95bbb59a9b22f9b838b15d28319185c1c884329</id>
<content type='text'>
The term "receiver" means that a type can be used as the type of `self`,
and thus enables method call syntax `foo.bar()` instead of
`Foo::bar(foo)`. Stable Rust as of today (1.81) enables a limited
selection of types (primitives and types in std, e.g. `Box` and `Arc`)
to be used as receivers, while custom types cannot.

We want the kernel `Arc` type to have the same functionality as the Rust
std `Arc`, so we use the `Receiver` trait (gated behind `receiver_trait`
unstable feature) to gain the functionality.

The `arbitrary_self_types` RFC [1] (tracking issue [2]) is accepted and
it will allow all types that implement a new `Receiver` trait (different
from today's unstable trait) to be used as receivers. This trait will be
automatically implemented for all `Deref` types, which include our `Arc`
type, so we no longer have to opt-in to be used as receiver. To prepare
us for the change, remove the `Receiver` implementation and the
associated feature. To still allow `Arc` and others to be used as method
receivers, turn on `arbitrary_self_types` feature instead.

This feature gate is introduced in 1.23.0. It used to enable both
`Deref` types and raw pointer types to be used as receivers, but the
latter is now split into a different feature gate in Rust 1.83 nightly.
We do not need receivers on raw pointers so this change would not affect
us and usage of `arbitrary_self_types` feature would work for all Rust
versions that we support (&gt;=1.78).

<title>rust: start using the `#[expect(...)]` attribute</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1f9ed172545687e5c04c77490a45896be6d2e459</id>
<content type='text'>
In Rust, it is possible to `allow` particular warnings (diagnostics,
lints) locally, making the compiler ignore instances of a given warning
within a given function, module, block, etc.

It is similar to `#pragma GCC diagnostic push` + `ignored` + `pop` in C:

    #pragma GCC diagnostic push
    #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
    static void f(void) {}
    #pragma GCC diagnostic pop

But way less verbose:

    #[allow(dead_code)]
    fn f() {}

By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more
diagnostics by default (i.e. outside `W=` levels) that may have some
false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to
catch potential mistakes.

The `#[expect(...)]` attribute [1] takes this further, and makes the
compiler warn if the diagnostic was _not_ produced. For instance, the
following will ensure that, when `f()` is called somewhere, we will have
to remove the attribute:

    #[expect(dead_code)]
    fn f() {}

If we do not, we get a warning from the compiler:

    warning: this lint expectation is unfulfilled
     --&gt; x.rs:3:10
      |
    3 | #[expect(dead_code)]
      |          ^^^^^^^^^
      |
      = note: `#[warn(unfulfilled_lint_expectations)]` on by default

This means that `expect`s do not get forgotten when they are not needed.

See the next commit for more details, nuances on its usage and
documentation on the feature.

The attribute requires the `lint_reasons` [2] unstable feature, but it
is becoming stable in 1.81.0 (to be released on 2024-09-05) and it has
already been useful to clean things up in this patch series, finding
cases where the `allow`s should not have been there.

Thus, enable `lint_reasons` and convert some of our `allow`s to `expect`s
where possible.

This feature was also an example of the ongoing collaboration between
Rust and the kernel -- we tested it in the kernel early on and found an
issue that was quickly resolved [3].

The blank line causes execve() to fail:

  # strace ./postinst
  execve("./postinst", ...) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
  strace: exec: Exec format error
  +++ exited with 1 +++

However running the scripts via shell does work (at least with bash)
because the shell attempts to execute the file as a shell script when
execve() fails.

Since commit 95573cac25c6 ("kconfig: cache expression values"), xconfig
emits a lot of false-positive "unmet direct dependencies" warnings.

While conf_read() clears val_is_valid flags, 'make xconfig' calculates
symbol values even before the conf_read() call. This is another issue
that should be addressed separately, but it has revealed that the
val_is_valid field is not initialized.

<id>urn:sha1:4d46b5b623e0adee1153b1d80689211e5094ae44</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit f79dc03fe68c ("kconfig: refactor choice value calculation"),
Kconfig for ARCH=powerpc may result in an infinite loop. This occurs
because there are two entries for POWERPC64_CPU in a choice block.

If the same symbol appears twice in a choice block, the -&gt;choice_link
node is added twice to -&gt;choice_members, resulting a corrupted linked
list.

A simple test case is:

    choice
            prompt "choice"

    config A
            bool "A"

    config B
            bool "B 1"

    config B
            bool "B 2"

    endchoice

Running 'make defconfig' results in an infinite loop.

One solution is to replace the current two entries:

    config POWERPC64_CPU
            bool "Generic (POWER5 and PowerPC 970 and above)"
            depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64 &amp;&amp; !CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU

    config POWERPC64_CPU
            bool "Generic (POWER8 and above)"
            depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64 &amp;&amp; CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER
            select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU
            select PPC_HAS_LBARX_LHARX

with the following single entry:

    config POWERPC64_CPU
            bool "Generic 64 bit powerpc"
            depends on PPC_BOOK3S_64
            select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
            select PPC_64S_HASH_MMU
            select PPC_HAS_LBARX_LHARX if CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN

In my opinion, the latter looks cleaner, but PowerPC maintainers may
prefer to display different prompts depending on CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN.

For now, this commit fixes the issue in Kconfig, restoring the original
behavior. I will reconsider whether such a use case is worth supporting.
