2024-11-10rust: use custom FFI integer typesGary Guo
Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types instead of `core::ffi`. This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit yet. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240913213041.395655-4-gary@garyguo.net [ Added `rustdoc`, `rusttest` and KUnit tests support. Rebased on top of `rust-next` (e.g. migrated more `core::ffi` cases). Reworded crate docs slightly and formatted. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
2024-10-15rust: alloc: implement kernel `Box`Danilo Krummrich
`Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type with one of the kernel's allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`. In contrast to Rust's `Box` type, the kernel `Box` type considers the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains independent from unstable features.
