Rust changes for v6.10
The most notable change is the drop of the 'alloc' in-tree fork. This is nicely reflected in the diffstat as a ~10k lines drop. In turn, this makes the version upgrades way simpler and smaller in the future, e.g. the latest one in commit 56f64b370612 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.78.0"). More importantly, this increases the chances that a newer compiler version just works, which in turn means supporting several compiler versions is easier now. Thus we will look into finally setting a minimum version in the near future. Toolchain and infrastructure: - Upgrade to Rust 1.78.0. This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove one more unstable feature ('offset_of') from the list, among other improvements. - Drop 'alloc' in-tree fork of the standard library crate, which means all the unstable features used by 'alloc' (~30 language ones, ~60 library ones) are not a concern anymore. - Support DWARFv5 via the '-Zdwarf-version' flag. - Support zlib and zstd debuginfo compression via the '-Zdebuginfo-compression' flag. 'kernel' crate: - Support allocation flags ('GFP_*'), particularly in 'Box' (via 'BoxExt'), 'Vec' (via 'VecExt'), 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc', as well as in the 'init' module APIs. - Remove usage of the 'allocator_api' unstable feature. - Remove 'try_' prefix in allocation APIs' names. - Add 'VecExt' (an extension trait) to be able to drop the 'alloc' fork. - Add the '{make,to}_{upper,lower}case()' methods to 'CStr'/'CString'. - Add the 'as_ptr' method to 'ThisModule'. - Add the 'from_raw' method to 'ArcBorrow'. - Add the 'into_unique_or_drop' method to 'Arc'. - Display column number in the 'dbg!' macro output by applying the equivalent change done to the standard library one. - Migrate 'Work' to '#[pin_data]' thanks to the changes in the 'macros' crate, which allows to remove an unsafe call in its 'new' associated function. - Prevent namespacing issues when using the '[try_][pin_]init!' macros by changing the generated name of guard variables. - Make the 'get' method in 'Opaque' const. - Implement the 'Default' trait for 'LockClassKey'. - Remove unneeded 'kernel::prelude' imports from doctests. - Remove redundant imports. 'macros' crate: - Add 'decl_generics' to 'parse_generics()' to support default values, and use that to allow them in '#[pin_data]'. Helpers: - Trivial English grammar fix. Documentation: - Add section on Rust Kselftests to the "Testing" document. - Expand the "Abstractions vs. bindings" section of the "General Information" document. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEPjU5OPd5QIZ9jqqOGXyLc2htIW0FAmZBIzoACgkQGXyLc2ht IW2/7hAAz5fRsx1M1b/JU3P3lc3XKUaFCmAWJX6F+sNHp8vNeFYNzVZ3ylk6Z4zB idkTq0Y5Rlc8ejryHiEMaY3X7Zrh0yt3G/AzKZqZx54IAPUp59BRSvG3+SJanQ7p Gjy+cCXweLtYjF79Au5Ejt52gV+JAwPtGLkbl1skNs0jPr4rqm+Zg4bPhE5Sr0Eh mh2VxcHf3rbIVhBYJTYGNpsnQYZNwfPDJ+bRudYp1BymLYOG8A328ocvU19BM63+ 6FFQBLgB3N8OS+Mw0c8AeFVNkeCw4NesmIkBMco8wm8QXyLz1zjg948LT9ogPCgB 5eC41yAxa83uPdt8L034YNfJa+IgFleZp339QKW2+vXHks43M8IMLq9WP7GU84M1 Axu5ekl5sR6awOk0265Zc1ghkOTQREIi0kiqtNBh9wc/qILAD2DyYoy1td9ch1Qi BBNxyKYaMx9z+7mhK4ksTbRb+VrdDmFPDhXOIJD5zg4yrLZOM6Mb/O+BnSD2pxa3 6cUGwfQTv0hbBTeY4ZgdNgFu2YJ/9rqACKtULoaT0AID/d8I3fxc7J35AWnqeC/x nALHTa2JMkBvN03Afn0wCVuXbdLW0/9DCGnuuhYMn0DhFC/uuKicsvwfjcGSKnPN iaRJoRCYKjlc0AJSYHhavgyp2R9HnVM0E53PC3ubjiKz5DsaRDU= =j6/D -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
