commit 49ceae68a0df9a92617a61e9ce8a0efcf6419585 upstream.
In Rust, producing an invalid value of any type is immediate undefined
behavior (UB); this includes via zeroing memory. Therefore, since an
uninhabited type has no valid values, producing any values at all for it is
UB.
The Rust standard library type `core::convert::Infallible` is uninhabited,
by virtue of having been declared as an enum with no cases, which always
produces uninhabited types in Rust.
The current kernel code allows this UB to be triggered, for example by code
like `Box::<core::convert::Infallible>::init(kernel::init::zeroed())`.
Thus, remove the implementation of `Zeroable` for `Infallible`, thereby
avoiding the unsoundness (potential for future UB).

In terms of lines, most changes this time are on the pinned-init API
and infrastructure. While we have a Rust version upgrade, and thus a
bunch of changes from the vendored 'alloc' crate as usual, this time
those do not account for many lines.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Upgrade to Rust 1.71.1. This is the second such upgrade, which is a
smaller jump compared to the last time.
This version allows us to remove the '__rust_*' allocator functions
-- the compiler now generates them as expected, thus now our
'KernelAllocator' is used.
It also introduces the 'offset_of!' macro in the standard library
(as an unstable feature) which we will need soon. So far, we were
using a declarative macro as a prerequisite in some not-yet-landed
patch series, which did not support sub-fields (i.e. nested structs):
#[repr(C)]
struct S {
a: u16,
b: (u8, u8),
}
assert_eq!(offset_of!(S, b.1), 3);
- Upgrade to bindgen 0.65.1. This is the first time we upgrade its
version.
Given it is a fairly big jump, it comes with a fair number of
improvements/changes that affect us, such as a fix needed to support
LLVM 16 as well as proper support for '__noreturn' C functions, which
are now mapped to return the '!' type in Rust:
void __noreturn f(void); // C
pub fn f() -> !; // Rust
- 'scripts/rust_is_available.sh' improvements and fixes.
This series takes care of all the issues known so far and adds a few
new checks to cover for even more cases, plus adds some more help
texts. All this together will hopefully make problematic setups
easier to identify and to be solved by users building the kernel.
In addition, it adds a test suite which covers all branches of the
shell script, as well as tests for the issues found so far.
- Support rust-analyzer for out-of-tree modules too.
- Give 'cfg's to rust-analyzer for the 'core' and 'alloc' crates.
- Drop 'scripts/is_rust_module.sh' since it is not needed anymore.
Macros crate:
- New 'paste!' proc macro.
This macro is a more flexible version of 'concat_idents!': it allows
the resulting identifier to be used to declare new items and it
allows to transform the identifiers before concatenating them, e.g.
let x_1 = 42;
paste!(let [<x _2>] = [<x _1>];);
assert!(x_1 == x_2);
The macro is then used for several of the pinned-init API changes in
this pull.
Pinned-init API:
- Make '#[pin_data]' compatible with conditional compilation of fields,
allowing to write code like:
#[pin_data]
pub struct Foo {
#[cfg(CONFIG_BAR)]
a: Bar,
#[cfg(not(CONFIG_BAR))]
a: Baz,
}
- New '#[derive(Zeroable)]' proc macro for the 'Zeroable' trait, which
allows 'unsafe' implementations for structs where every field
implements the 'Zeroable' trait, e.g.:
#[derive(Zeroable)]
pub struct DriverData {
id: i64,
buf_ptr: *mut u8,
len: usize,
}
- Add '..Zeroable::zeroed()' syntax to the 'pin_init!' macro for
zeroing all other fields, e.g.:
pin_init!(Buf {
buf: [1; 64],
..Zeroable::zeroed()
});
- New '{,pin_}init_array_from_fn()' functions to create array
initializers given a generator function, e.g.:
let b: Box<[usize; 1_000]> = Box::init::<Error>(
init_array_from_fn(|i| i)
).unwrap();
assert_eq!(b.len(), 1_000);
assert_eq!(b[123], 123);
- New '{,pin_}chain' methods for '{,Pin}Init<T, E>' that allow to
execute a closure on the value directly after initialization, e.g.:
let foo = init!(Foo {
buf <- init::zeroed()
}).chain(|foo| {
foo.setup();
Ok(())
});
- Support arbitrary paths in init macros, instead of just identifiers
and generic types.
- Implement the 'Zeroable' trait for the 'UnsafeCell<T>' and
'Opaque<T>' types.
- Make initializer values inaccessible after initialization.
- Make guards in the init macros hygienic.
'allocator' module:
- Use 'krealloc_aligned()' in 'KernelAllocator::alloc' preventing
misaligned allocations when the Rust 1.71.1 upgrade is applied later
in this pull.
The equivalent fix for the previous compiler version (where
'KernelAllocator' is not yet used) was merged into 6.5 already,
which added the 'krealloc_aligned()' function used here.
- Implement 'KernelAllocator::{realloc, alloc_zeroed}' for performance,
using 'krealloc_aligned()' too, which forwards the call to the C API.
'types' module:
- Make 'Opaque' be '!Unpin', removing the need to add a 'PhantomPinned'
field to Rust structs that contain C structs which must not be moved.
- Make 'Opaque' use 'UnsafeCell' as the outer type, rather than inner.
Documentation:
- Suggest obtaining the source code of the Rust's 'core' library using
the tarball instead of the repository.

`UnsafeCell<T>` and `T` have the same layout so if `T` is `Zeroable`
then so should `UnsafeCell<T>` be. This allows using the derive macro
for `Zeroable` on types that contain an `UnsafeCell<T>`.
Since `Opaque<T>` contains a `MaybeUninit<T>`, all bytes zero is a valid
bit pattern for that type.

Use hygienic identifiers for the guards instead of the field names. This
makes the init macros feel more like normal struct initializers, since
assigning identifiers with the name of a field does not create
conflicts.
Also change the internals of the guards, no need to make the `forget`
function `unsafe`, since users cannot access the guards anyways. Now the
guards are carried directly on the stack and have no extra `Cell<bool>`
field that marks if they have been forgotten or not, instead they are
just forgotten via `mem::forget`.

This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust
merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest).
# Context
The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather
than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2]
which do not promise backwards compatibility.
The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for
the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be
stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel
will support is "in the future".
# Upgrade policy
Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be
ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as
possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we
could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading
so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC
and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs.
half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC.
Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly
either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be
able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel
anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead,
kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust
release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones,
especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back /
downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may
not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide
and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks.
Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and
decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of
Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it
over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit
3519c4d6e0 ("Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm version").
# Unstable features stabilized
This upgrade allows us to remove the following unstable features since
they were stabilized:
- `feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait)` (1.63).
- `feature(core_ffi_c)` (1.64).
- `feature(generic_associated_types)` (1.65).
- `feature(const_ptr_offset_from)` (1.65, *).
- `feature(bench_black_box)` (1.66, *).
- `feature(pin_macro)` (1.68).
The ones marked with `*` apply only to our old `rust` branch, not
mainline yet, i.e. only for code that we may potentially upstream.
With this patch applied, the only unstable feature allowed to be used
outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [2] for details.
# Other required changes
Since 1.63, `rustdoc` triggers the `broken_intra_doc_links` lint for
links pointing to exported (`#[macro_export]`) `macro_rules`. An issue
was opened upstream [4], but it turns out it is intended behavior. For
the moment, just add an explicit reference for each link. Later we can
revisit this if `rustdoc` removes the compatibility measure.
Nevertheless, this was helpful to discover a link that was pointing to
the wrong place unintentionally. Since that one was actually wrong, it
is fixed in a previous commit independently.
Another change was the addition of `cfg(no_rc)` and `cfg(no_sync)` in
upstream [5], thus remove our original changes for that.
Similarly, upstream now tests that it compiles successfully with
`#[cfg(not(no_global_oom_handling))]` [6], which allow us to get rid
of some changes, such as an `#[allow(dead_code)]`.
In addition, remove another `#[allow(dead_code)]` due to new uses
within the standard library.
Finally, add `try_extend_trusted` and move the code in `spec_extend.rs`
since upstream moved it for the infallible version.
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
There are a large amount of changes, but the vast majority of them are
due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This function allows to easily initialize `Opaque` with the pin-init
API. `Opaque::ffi_init` takes a closure and returns a pin-initializer.
This pin-initiailizer calls the given closure with a pointer to the
inner `T`.

[ Fixed three typos. ]
Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
This API is used to facilitate safe pinned initialization of structs. It
replaces cumbersome `unsafe` manual initialization with elegant safe macro
invocations.
Due to the size of this change it has been split into six commits:
1. This commit introducing the basic public interface: traits and
functions to represent and create initializers.
2. Adds the `#[pin_data]`, `pin_init!`, `try_pin_init!`, `init!` and
`try_init!` macros along with their internal types.
3. Adds the `InPlaceInit` trait that allows using an initializer to create
an object inside of a `Box<T>` and other smart pointers.
4. Adds the `PinnedDrop` trait and adds macro support for it in
the `#[pin_data]` macro.
5. Adds the `stack_pin_init!` macro allowing to pin-initialize a struct on
the stack.
6. Adds the `Zeroable` trait and `init::zeroed` function to initialize
types that have `0x00` in all bytes as a valid bit pattern.

In this section the problem that the new pin-init API solves is outlined.
This message describes the entirety of the API, not just the parts
introduced in this commit. For a more granular explanation and additional
information on pinning and this issue, view [1].
Pinning is Rust's way of enforcing the address stability of a value. When a
value gets pinned it will be impossible for safe code to move it to another
location. This is done by wrapping pointers to said object with `Pin<P>`.
This wrapper prevents safe code from creating mutable references to the
object, preventing mutable access, which is needed to move the value.
`Pin<P>` provides `unsafe` functions to circumvent this and allow
modifications regardless. It is then the programmer's responsibility to
uphold the pinning guarantee.
Many kernel data structures require a stable address, because there are
foreign pointers to them which would get invalidated by moving the
structure. Since these data structures are usually embedded in structs to
use them, this pinning property propagates to the container struct.
Resulting in most structs in both Rust and C code needing to be pinned.
So if we want to have a `mutex` field in a Rust struct, this struct also
needs to be pinned, because a `mutex` contains a `list_head`. Additionally
initializing a `list_head` requires already having the final memory
location available, because it is initialized by pointing it to itself. But
this presents another challenge in Rust: values have to be initialized at
all times. There is the `MaybeUninit<T>` wrapper type, which allows
handling uninitialized memory, but this requires using the `unsafe` raw
pointers and a casting the type to the initialized variant.
This problem gets exacerbated when considering encapsulation and the normal
safety requirements of Rust code. The fields of the Rust `Mutex<T>` should
not be accessible to normal driver code. After all if anyone can modify
the fields, there is no way to ensure the invariants of the `Mutex<T>` are
upheld. But if the fields are inaccessible, then initialization of a
`Mutex<T>` needs to be somehow achieved via a function or a macro. Because
the `Mutex<T>` must be pinned in memory, the function cannot return it by
value. It also cannot allocate a `Box` to put the `Mutex<T>` into, because
that is an unnecessary allocation and indirection which would hurt
performance.
The solution in the rust tree (e.g. this commit: [2]) that is replaced by
this API is to split this function into two parts:
1. A `new` function that returns a partially initialized `Mutex<T>`,
2. An `init` function that requires the `Mutex<T>` to be pinned and that
fully initializes the `Mutex<T>`.
Both of these functions have to be marked `unsafe`, since a call to `new`
needs to be accompanied with a call to `init`, otherwise using the
`Mutex<T>` could result in UB. And because calling `init` twice also is not
safe. While `Mutex<T>` initialization cannot fail, other structs might
also have to allocate memory, which would result in conditional successful
initialization requiring even more manual accommodation work.
Combine this with the problem of pin-projections -- the way of accessing
fields of a pinned struct -- which also have an `unsafe` API, pinned
initialization is riddled with `unsafe` resulting in very poor ergonomics.
Not only that, but also having to call two functions possibly multiple
lines apart makes it very easy to forget it outright or during refactoring.
Here is an example of the current way of initializing a struct with two
synchronization primitives (see [3] for the full example):
struct SharedState {
state_changed: CondVar,
inner: Mutex<SharedStateInner>,
}
impl SharedState {
fn try_new() -> Result<Arc<Self>> {
let mut state = Pin::from(UniqueArc::try_new(Self {
// SAFETY: `condvar_init!` is called below.
state_changed: unsafe { CondVar::new() },
// SAFETY: `mutex_init!` is called below.
inner: unsafe {
Mutex::new(SharedStateInner { token_count: 0 })
},
})?);
// SAFETY: `state_changed` is pinned when `state` is.
let pinned = unsafe {
state.as_mut().map_unchecked_mut(|s| &mut s.state_changed)
};
kernel::condvar_init!(pinned, "SharedState::state_changed");
// SAFETY: `inner` is pinned when `state` is.
let pinned = unsafe {
state.as_mut().map_unchecked_mut(|s| &mut s.inner)
};
kernel::mutex_init!(pinned, "SharedState::inner");
Ok(state.into())
}
}
The pin-init API of this patch solves this issue by providing a
comprehensive solution comprised of macros and traits. Here is the example
from above using the pin-init API:
#[pin_data]
struct SharedState {
#[pin]
state_changed: CondVar,
#[pin]
inner: Mutex<SharedStateInner>,
}
impl SharedState {
fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
pin_init!(Self {
state_changed <- new_condvar!("SharedState::state_changed"),
inner <- new_mutex!(
SharedStateInner { token_count: 0 },
"SharedState::inner",
),
})
}
}
Notably the way the macro is used here requires no `unsafe` and thus comes
with the usual Rust promise of safe code not introducing any memory
violations. Additionally it is now up to the caller of `new()` to decide
the memory location of the `SharedState`. They can choose at the moment
`Arc<T>`, `Box<T>` or the stack.

The API has the following architecture:
1. Initializer traits `PinInit<T, E>` and `Init<T, E>` that act like
closures.
2. Macros to create these initializer traits safely.
3. Functions to allow manually writing initializers.
The initializers (an `impl PinInit<T, E>`) receive a raw pointer pointing
to uninitialized memory and their job is to fully initialize a `T` at that
location. If initialization fails, they return an error (`E`) by value.
This way of initializing cannot be safely exposed to the user, since it
relies upon these properties outside of the control of the trait:
- the memory location (slot) needs to be valid memory,
- if initialization fails, the slot should not be read from,
- the value in the slot should be pinned, so it cannot move and the memory
cannot be deallocated until the value is dropped.
This is why using an initializer is facilitated by another trait that
ensures these requirements.
These initializers can be created manually by just supplying a closure that
fulfills the same safety requirements as `PinInit<T, E>`. But this is an
`unsafe` operation. To allow safe initializer creation, the `pin_init!` is
provided along with three other variants: `try_pin_init!`, `try_init!` and
`init!`. These take a modified struct initializer as a parameter and
generate a closure that initializes the fields in sequence.
The macros take great care in upholding the safety requirements:
- A shadowed struct type is used as the return type of the closure instead
of `()`. This is to prevent early returns, as these would prevent full
initialization.
- To ensure every field is only initialized once, a normal struct
initializer is placed in unreachable code. The type checker will emit
errors if a field is missing or specified multiple times.
- When initializing a field fails, the whole initializer will fail and
automatically drop fields that have been initialized earlier.
- Only the correct initializer type is allowed for unpinned fields. You
cannot use a `impl PinInit<T, E>` to initialize a structurally not pinned
field.
To ensure the last point, an additional macro `#[pin_data]` is needed. This
macro annotates the struct itself and the user specifies structurally
pinned and not pinned fields.
Because dropping a pinned struct is also not allowed to break the pinning
invariants, another macro attribute `#[pinned_drop]` is needed. This
macro is introduced in a following commit.
These two macros also have mechanisms to ensure the overall safety of the
API. Additionally, they utilize a combined proc-macro, declarative macro
design: first a proc-macro enables the outer attribute syntax `#[...]` and
does some important pre-parsing. Notably this prepares the generics such
that the declarative macro can handle them using token trees. Then the
actual parsing of the structure and the emission of code is handled by a
declarative macro.
For pin-projections the crates `pin-project` [4] and `pin-project-lite` [5]
had been considered, but were ultimately rejected:
- `pin-project` depends on `syn` [6] which is a very big dependency, around
50k lines of code.
- `pin-project-lite` is a more reasonable 5k lines of code, but contains a
very complex declarative macro to parse generics. On top of that it
would require modification that would need to be maintained
independently.
