This crate contains the bindings to the C side of the kernel.
Calling C (in general, FFI) is assumed to be unsafe in Rust
and, in many cases, this is accurate. For instance, virtually
all C functions that take a pointer are unsafe since, typically,
it will be dereferenced at some point (and in most cases there
is no way for the callee to check its validity beforehand).
Since one of the goals of using Rust in the kernel is precisely
to avoid unsafe code in "leaf" kernel modules (e.g. drivers),
these bindings should not be used directly by them.
Instead, these bindings need to be wrapped into safe abstractions.
These abstractions provide a safe API that kernel modules can use.
In this way, unsafe code in kernel modules is minimized.

This crate contains all the procedural macros ("proc macros")
shared by all the kernel.
Procedural macros allow to create syntax extensions. They run at
compile-time and can consume as well as produce Rust syntax.
For instance, the `module!` macro that is used by Rust modules
is implemented here. It allows to easily declare the equivalent
information to the `MODULE_*` macros in C modules, e.g.:
module! {
type: RustMinimal,
name: b"rust_minimal",
author: b"Rust for Linux Contributors",
description: b"Rust minimal sample",
license: b"GPL",
}

Rust provides `compiler_builtins` as a port of LLVM's `compiler-rt`.
Since we do not need the vast majority of them, we avoid the
dependency by providing our own crate.

This customizes the subset of the Rust standard library `alloc` that
was just imported as-is, mainly by:
- Adding SPDX license identifiers.
- Skipping modules (e.g. `rc` and `sync`) via new `cfg`s.
- Adding fallible (`try_*`) versions of existing infallible methods
(i.e. returning a `Result` instead of panicking).
Since the standard library requires stable/unstable attributes,
these additions are annotated with:
#[stable(feature = "kernel", since = "1.0.0")]
Using "kernel" as the feature allows to have the additions
clearly marked. The "1.0.0" version is just a placeholder.
(At the moment, only one is needed, but in the future more
fallible methods will be added).

This is a subset of the Rust standard library `alloc` crate,
version 1.62.0, licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", from:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/1.62.0/library/alloc/src
The files are copied as-is, with no modifications whatsoever
(not even adding the SPDX identifiers).
For copyright details, please see:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/1.62.0/COPYRIGHT
The next patch modifies these files as needed for use within
the kernel. This patch split allows reviewers to double-check
the import and to clearly see the differences introduced.
Vendoring `alloc`, at least for the moment, allows us to have fallible
allocations support (i.e. the `try_*` versions of methods which return
a `Result` instead of panicking) early on. It also gives a bit more
freedom to experiment with new interfaces and to iterate quickly.
Eventually, the goal is to have everything the kernel needs in
upstream `alloc` and drop it from the kernel tree.
For a summary of work on `alloc` happening upstream, please see:

Introduces the source file that will contain forwarders to C macros
and inlined functions.
Initially this only contains a single helper, but will gain more as
more functionality is added to the `kernel` crate in the future.
