commit a5a3c952e82c1ada12bf8c55b73af26f1a454bd2 upstream.

Currently while defining `THIS_MODULE` symbol in `module!()`, the
pointer used to construct `ThisModule` is derived from an immutable
reference of `__this_module`, which means the pointer doesn't have
the provenance for writing, and that means any write to that pointer
is UB regardless of data races or not. However, the usage of
`THIS_MODULE` includes passing this pointer to functions that may write
to it (probably in unsafe code), and this will create soundness issues.

One way to fix this is using `addr_of_mut!()` but that requires the
unstable feature "const_mut_refs". So instead of `addr_of_mut()!`,
an extern static `Opaque` is used here: since `Opaque&lt;T&gt;` is transparent
to `T`, an extern static `Opaque` will just wrap the C symbol (defined
in a C compile unit) in an `Opaque`, which provides a pointer with
writable provenance via `Opaque::get()`. This fix the potential UBs
because of pointer provenance unmatched.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "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"

The `module!` macro creates glue code that are called by C to initialize
the Rust modules using the `Module::init` function. Part of this glue
code are the local functions `__init` and `__exit` that are used to
initialize/destroy the Rust module.

These functions are safe and also visible to the Rust mod in which the
`module!` macro is invoked. This means that they can be called by other
safe Rust code. But since they contain `unsafe` blocks that rely on only
being called at the right time, this is a soundness issue.

Wrap these generated functions inside of two private modules, this
guarantees that the public functions cannot be called from the outside.
Make the safe functions `unsafe` and add SAFETY comments.

<title>rust: macros: allow generic parameter default values in `#[pin_data]`</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for generic parameters defaults in `#[pin_data]` by using
the newly introduced `decl_generics` instead of the `impl_generics`.

Before this would not compile:

    #[pin_data]
    struct Foo&lt;const N: usize = 0&gt; {
        // ...
    }

because it would be expanded to this:

    struct Foo&lt;const N: usize = 0&gt; {
        // ...
    }

    const _: () = {
        struct __ThePinData&lt;const N: usize = 0&gt; {
            __phantom: ::core::marker::PhantomData&lt;fn(Foo&lt;N&gt;) -&gt; Foo&lt;N&gt;&gt;,
        }
        impl&lt;const N: usize = 0&gt; ::core::clone::Clone for __ThePinData&lt;N&gt; {
            fn clone(&amp;self) -&gt; Self {
                *self
            }
        }

        // [...] rest of expansion omitted
    };

The problem is with the `impl&lt;const N: usize = 0&gt;`, since that is
invalid Rust syntax. It should not mention the default value at all,
since default values only make sense on type definitions.

The new `impl_generics` do not contain the default values, thus
generating correct Rust code.

This is used by the next commit that puts `#[pin_data]` on
`kernel::workqueue::Work`.

<title>rust: macros: add `decl_generics` to `parse_generics()`</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9762dca54a4fec433b50eb83fdd8ff0a876cccf2</id>
<content type='text'>
The generic parameters on a type definition can specify default values.
Currently `parse_generics()` cannot handle this though. For example when
parsing the following generics:

    &lt;T: Clone, const N: usize = 0&gt;

The `impl_generics` will be set to `T: Clone, const N: usize = 0` and
`ty_generics` will be set to `T, N`. Now using the `impl_generics` on an
impl block:

    impl&lt;$($impl_generics)*&gt; Foo {}

will result in invalid Rust code, because default values are only
available on type definitions.

Therefore add parsing support for generic parameter default values using
a new kind of generics called `decl_generics` and change the old
behavior of `impl_generics` to not contain the generic parameter default
values.

Now `Generics` has three fields:
- `impl_generics`: the generics with bounds
  (e.g. `T: Clone, const N: usize`)
- `decl_generics`: the generics with bounds and default values
  (e.g. `T: Clone, const N: usize = 0`)
- `ty_generics`:  contains the generics without bounds and without
  default values (e.g. `T, N`)

`impl_generics` is designed to be used on `impl&lt;$impl_generics&gt;`,
`decl_generics` for the type definition, so `struct Foo&lt;$decl_generics&gt;`
and `ty_generics` whenever you use the type, so `Foo&lt;$ty_generics&gt;`.

Here is an example that uses all three different types of generics:

    let (Generics { decl_generics, impl_generics, ty_generics }, rest) = parse_generics(input);
    quote! {
        struct Foo&lt;$($decl_generics)*&gt; {
            // ...
        }

        impl&lt;$impl_generics&gt; Foo&lt;$ty_generics&gt; {
            fn foo() {
                // ...
            }
        }
    }

The next commit contains a fix to the `#[pin_data]` macro making it
compatible with generic parameter default values by relying on this new
behavior.

<title>rust: module: place generated init_module() function in .init.text</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1b6170ff7a203a5e8354f19b7839fe8b897a9c0d</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently Rust kernel modules have their init code placed in the `.text`
section of the .ko file. I don't think this causes any real problems
for Rust modules as long as all code called during initialization lives
in `.text`.

However, if a Rust `init_module()` function (that lives in `.text`)
calls a function marked with `__init` (in C) or
`#[link_section = ".init.text"]` (in Rust), then a warning is
generated by modpost because that function lives in `.init.text`.
For example:

WARNING: modpost: fs/bcachefs/bcachefs: section mismatch in reference: init_module+0x6 (section: .text) -&gt; _RNvXCsj7d3tFpT5JS_15bcachefs_moduleNtB2_8BcachefsNtCsjDtqRIL3JAG_6kernel6Module4init (section: .init.text)

I ran into this while experimenting with converting the bcachefs kernel
module from C to Rust. The module's `init()`, written in Rust, calls C
functions like `bch2_vfs_init()` which are placed in `.init.text`.

This patch places the macro-generated `init_module()` Rust function in
the `.init.text` section. It also marks `init_module()` as unsafe--now
it may not be called after module initialization completes because it
may be freed already.

Note that this is not enough on its own to actually get all the module
initialization code in that section. The module author must still add
the `#[link_section = ".init.text"]` attribute to the Rust `init()` in
the `impl kernel::Module` block in order to then call `__init`
functions. However, this patch enables module authors do so, when
previously it would not be possible (without warnings).

Some of our links use relative paths in order to point to files in the
source tree, e.g.:

    //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](../../../../include/linux/printk.h)
    /// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h

These are problematic because they are hard to maintain and do not support
`O=` builds.

Instead, provide support for `srctree`-relative links, e.g.:

    //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](srctree/include/linux/printk.h)
    /// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h

The links are fixed after `rustdoc` generation to be based on the absolute
path to the source tree.

Essentially, this is the automatic version of Tomonori's fix [1],
suggested by Gary [2].

Traits marked with `#[vtable]` need to provide default implementations
for optional functions. The C side represents these with `NULL` in the
vtable, so the default functions are never actually called. We do not
want to replicate the default behavior from C in Rust, because that is
not maintainable. Therefore we should use `build_error` in those default
implementations. The error message for that is provided at
`kernel::error::VTABLE_DEFAULT_ERROR`.

Enable combining identifiers with literals in the 'paste!' macro. This
allows combining user-specified strings with affixes to create
namespaced identifiers.

This sample code:

    macro_rules! m {
        ($name:lit) =&gt; {
            paste!(struct [&lt;_some_ $name _struct_&gt;] {})
        }
    }

    m!("foo_bar");

Would previously cause a compilation error. It will now generate:

    struct _some_foo_bar_struct_ {}
