Linus Torvalds a031fe8d1d Rust changes for v6.6
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.
