<title>rust: init: change the generated name of guard variables</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9218cf826f1dbacbb857e6eabfae164d8ba05dea</id>
<content type='text'>
The initializers created by the `[try_][pin_]init!` macros utilize the
guard pattern to drop already initialized fields, when initialization
fails mid-way. These guards are generated to have the same name as the
field that they handle. To prevent namespacing issues [1] when the
field name is the same as e.g. a constant name, add `__` as a prefix
and `_guard` as the suffix.

[ Gary says:

   "Here's the simplified example:

    ```
    macro_rules! f {
        () =&gt; {
            let a = 1;
            let _: u32 = a;
        }
    }

    const a: u64 = 1;

    fn main() {
        f!();
    }
    ```

    The `a` in `f` have a different hygiene so normally it is scoped to the
    macro expansion and wouldn't escape. Interestingly a constant is still
    preferred despite the hygiene so constants escaped into the macro,
    leading to the error."

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

<id>urn:sha1:22eed6068d76d1d9672f33334740657208a91483</id>
<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: init: add `{pin_}chain` functions to `{Pin}Init&lt;T, E&gt;`</title>

The `{pin_}chain` functions extend an initializer: it not only
initializes the value, but also executes a closure taking a reference to
the initialized value. This allows to do something with a value directly
after initialization.

<title>rust: init: add support for arbitrary paths in init macros</title>

<id>urn:sha1:674b1c7aed6082e1ce329bb3bcb49e7eb9913e79</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously only `ident` and generic types were supported in the
`{try_}{pin_}init!` macros. This patch allows arbitrary path fragments,
so for example `Foo::Bar` but also very complex paths such as
`&lt;Foo as Baz&gt;::Bar::&lt;0, i32&gt;`.

Internally this is accomplished by using `path` fragments. Due to some
peculiar declarative macro limitations, we have to "forget" certain
additional parsing information in the token trees. This is achieved by
using the `paste!` proc macro. It does not actually modify the input,
since no `[&lt; &gt;]` will be present in the input, so it just strips the
information held by declarative macros. For example, if a declarative
macro takes `$t:path` as its input, it cannot sensibly propagate this to
a macro that takes `$($p:tt)*` as its input, since the `$t` token will
only be considered one `tt` token for the second macro. If we first pipe
the tokens through `paste!`, then it parses as expected.

Add the struct update syntax to the init macros, but only for
`..Zeroable::zeroed()`. Adding this at the end of the struct initializer
allows one to omit fields from the initializer, these fields will be
initialized with 0x00 set to every byte. Only types that implement the
`Zeroable` trait can utilize this.

<title>rust: init: make initializer values inaccessible after initializing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:92fd540d62701115b22b1f531c8c86454809931b</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously the init macros would create a local variable with the name
and hygiene of the field that is being initialized to store the value of
the field. This would override any user defined variables. For example:
```
struct Foo {
    a: usize,
    b: usize,
}
let a = 10;
let foo = init!(Foo{
    a: a + 1, // This creates a local variable named `a`.
    b: a, // This refers to that variable!
});
let foo = Box::init!(foo)?;
assert_eq!(foo.a, 11);
assert_eq!(foo.b, 11);
```

This patch changes this behavior, so the above code would panic at the
last assertion, since `b` would have value 10.

<id>urn:sha1:b9b88be046a92a43d70badb340cac9ffd9695dcb</id>
<content type='text'>
In the implementation of the init macros there is a `if false` statement
that type checks the initializer to ensure every field is initialized.
Since the next patch has a stack variable to store the struct, the
function might allocate too much memory on debug builds. Putting the
struct into a closure that is never executed ensures that even in debug
builds no stack overflow error is caused. In release builds this was not
a problem since the code was optimized away due to the `if false`.
