rust: alloc: update module comment of alloc.rs

2025-03-13T12:01:47Z

commit 8ae740c3917ff92108df17236b3cf1b9a74bd359 upstream. Before we remove Rust's alloc crate, rewrite the module comment in alloc.rs to avoid a rustdoc warning. Besides that, the module comment in alloc.rs isn't correct anymore, we're no longer extending Rust's alloc crate.

rust: alloc: implement `Cmalloc` in module allocator_test

2025-03-13T12:01:46Z

commit dd09538fb4093176a818fcecd45114430cc5840f upstream. So far the kernel's `Box` and `Vec` types can't be used by userspace test cases, since all users of those types (e.g. `CString`) use kernel allocators for instantiation. In order to allow userspace test cases to make use of such types as well, implement the `Cmalloc` allocator within the allocator_test module and type alias all kernel allocators to `Cmalloc`. The `Cmalloc` allocator uses libc's `realloc()` function as allocator backend.

rust: alloc: implement `contains` for `Flags`

2025-03-13T12:01:46Z

commit 909037ce0369bc3f4fd31743fd2d8d7096f06002 upstream. Provide a simple helper function to check whether given flags do contain one or multiple other flags. This is used by a subsequent patch implementing the Cmalloc `Allocator` to check for __GFP_ZERO.

rust: alloc: implement `IntoIterator` for `Vec`

2025-03-13T12:01:45Z

commit 1d1d223aa3b37c34271aefc2706340d0843bfcb2 upstream. Implement `IntoIterator` for `Vec`, `Vec`'s `IntoIter` type, as well as `Iterator` for `IntoIter`. `Vec::into_iter` disassembles the `Vec` into its raw parts; additionally, `IntoIter` keeps track of a separate pointer, which is incremented correspondingly as the iterator advances, while the length, or the count of elements, is decremented. This also means that `IntoIter` takes the ownership of the backing buffer and is responsible to drop the remaining elements and free the backing buffer, if it's dropped.

rust: alloc: implement kernel `Vec` type

2025-03-13T12:01:45Z

commit 2aac4cd7dae3d7bb0e0ddec2561b2ee4cbe6c8f6 upstream. `Vec` provides a contiguous growable array type with contents allocated with the kernel's allocators (e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`). In contrast to Rust's stdlib `Vec` type, the kernel `Vec` type considers the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains independent from unstable features. [ This patch starts using a new unstable feature, `inline_const`, but it was stabilized in Rust 1.79.0, i.e. the next version after the minimum one, thus it will not be an issue. - Miguel ] Reviewed-by: Benno Lossin Reviewed-by: Gary Guo Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241004154149.93856-17-dakr@kernel.org [ Cleaned `rustdoc` unescaped backtick warning, added a couple more backticks elsewhere, fixed typos, sorted `feature`s, rewrapped documentation lines. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

rust: alloc: introduce `ArrayLayout`

2025-03-13T12:01:45Z

commit 9e7bbfa182767f638ba61dba3518ff78da9f31ff upstream. When allocating memory for arrays using allocators, the `Layout::array` function is typically used. It returns a result, since the given size might be too big. However, `Vec` and its iterators store their allocated capacity and thus they already did check that the size is not too big. The `ArrayLayout` type provides this exact behavior, as it can be infallibly converted into a `Layout`. Instead of a `usize` capacity, `Vec` and other similar array-storing types can use `ArrayLayout` instead.

commit c8cfa8d0c0b10be216861fe904ea68978b1dcc97 upstream. `Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type with one of the kernel's allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`.
