Merge tag 'rust-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux
Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "Toolchain and infrastructure: - Derive 'Zeroable' for all structs and unions generated by 'bindgen' where possible and corresponding cleanups. To do so, add the 'pin-init' crate as a dependency to 'bindings' and 'uapi'. It also includes its first use in the 'cpufreq' module, with more to come in the next cycle. - Add warning to the 'rustdoc' target to detect broken 'srctree/' links and fix existing cases. - Remove support for unused (since v6.16) host '#[test]'s, simplifying the 'rusttest' target. Tests should generally run within KUnit. 'kernel' crate: - Add 'ptr' module with a new 'Alignment' type, which is always a power of two and is used to validate that a given value is a valid alignment and to perform masking and alignment operations: // Checked at build time. assert_eq!(Alignment::new::<16>().as_usize(), 16); // Checked at runtime. assert_eq!(Alignment::new_checked(15), None); assert_eq!(Alignment::of::<u8>().log2(), 0); assert_eq!(0x25u8.align_down(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), 0x20); assert_eq!(0x5u8.align_up(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), Some(0x10)); assert_eq!(u8::MAX.align_up(Alignment::new::<0x10>()), None); It also includes its first use in Nova. - Add 'core::mem::{align,size}_of{,_val}' to the prelude, matching Rust 1.80.0. - Keep going with the steps on our migration to the standard library 'core::ffi::CStr' type (use 'kernel::{fmt, prelude::fmt!}' and use upstream method names). - 'error' module: improve 'Error::from_errno' and 'to_result' documentation, including examples/tests. - 'sync' module: extend 'aref' submodule documentation now that it exists, and more updates to complete the ongoing move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted' to 'sync::aref'. - 'list' module: add an example/test for 'ListLinksSelfPtr' usage. - 'alloc' module: - Implement 'Box::pin_slice()', which constructs a pinned slice of elements. - Provide information about the minimum alignment guarantees of 'Kmalloc', 'Vmalloc' and 'KVmalloc'. - Take minimum alignment guarantees of allocators for 'ForeignOwnable' into account. - Remove the 'allocator_test' (including 'Cmalloc'). - Add doctest for 'Vec::as_slice()'. - Constify various methods. - 'time' module: - Add methods on 'HrTimer' that can only be called with exclusive access to an unarmed timer, or from timer callback context. - Add arithmetic operations to 'Instant' and 'Delta'. - Add a few convenience and access methods to 'HrTimer' and 'Instant'. 'macros' crate: - Reduce collections in 'quote!' macro. And a few other cleanups and improvements" * tag 'rust-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux: (58 commits) gpu: nova-core: use Alignment for alignment-related operations rust: add `Alignment` type rust: macros: reduce collections in `quote!` macro rust: acpi: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: of: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: net: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: miscdevice: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: kunit: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: firmware: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: drm: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: cpufreq: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: configfs: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: auxiliary: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names drm/panic: use `core::ffi::CStr` method names rust: device: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}` rust: sync: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}` rust: seq_file: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}` rust: kunit: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}` rust: file: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}` rust: device: use `kernel::{fmt,prelude::fmt!}` ...
