Linus Torvalds 798bb342e0 Rust changes for v6.13
Toolchain and infrastructure:
 
  - Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the
    compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as
    unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a frequent
    source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide new
    developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very nice.
 
  - Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized
    in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was
    _not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up locally
    ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s).
 
  - Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust
    linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance, our
    first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more
    importantly, enabling the checking of private items.
 
  - Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above.
 
  - Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the
    kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is the
    support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e. as
    receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc' that
    common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has been
    accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps required to
    get there.
 
  - Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature.
 
  - Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our
    custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi'
    one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle.
 
  - Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize' instead
    of 32/64-bit integers.
 
  - Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins.
 
  - Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue
    in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming
    tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some distributions
    backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All major distributions
    we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS.
 
 'macros' crate:
 
  - Adapt the build system to be able run the doctests there too; and
    clean up and enable the corresponding doctests.
 
 'kernel' crate:
 
  - Add 'alloc' module with generic kernel allocator support and remove
    the dependency on the Rust standard library 'alloc' and the extension
    traits we used to provide fallible methods with flags.
 
    Add the 'Allocator' trait and its implementations '{K,V,KV}malloc'.
    Add the 'Box' type (a heap allocation for a single value of type 'T'
    that is also generic over an allocator and considers the kernel's GFP
    flags) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Box'. Add 'ArrayLayout'
    type. Add 'Vec' (a contiguous growable array type) and its shorthand
    aliases '{K,V,KV}Vec', including iterator support.
 
    For instance, now we may write code such as:
 
        let mut v = KVec::new();
        v.push(1, GFP_KERNEL)?;
        assert_eq!(&v, &[1]);
 
    Treewide, move as well old users to these new types.
 
  - 'sync' module: add global lock support, including the
    'GlobalLockBackend' trait; the 'Global{Lock,Guard,LockedBy}' types
     and the 'global_lock!' macro. Add the 'Lock::try_lock' method.
 
  - 'error' module: optimize 'Error' type to use 'NonZeroI32' and make
    conversion functions public.
 
  - 'page' module: add 'page_align' function.
 
  - Add 'transmute' module with the existing 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes'
    traits.
 
  - 'block::mq::request' module: improve rendered documentation.
 
  - 'types' module: extend 'Opaque' type documentation and add simple
    examples for the 'Either' types.
 
 drm/panic:
 
  - Clean up a series of Clippy warnings.
 
 Documentation:
 
  - Add coding guidelines for lints and the '#[expect]' feature.
 
  - Add Ubuntu to the list of distributions in the Quick Start guide.
 
 MAINTAINERS:
  - Add Danilo Krummrich as maintainer of the new 'alloc' module.
 
 And a few other small cleanups and fixes.
