One of the example in this section uses a curious mix of the constant
and function declaration syntaxes; fix it.

<title>rust: sync: require `T: Sync` for `LockedBy::access`</title>

commit a8ee30f45d5d57467ddb7877ed6914d0eba0af7f upstream.

The `LockedBy::access` method only requires a shared reference to the
owner, so if we have shared access to the `LockedBy` from several
threads at once, then two threads could call `access` in parallel and
both obtain a shared reference to the inner value. Thus, require that
`T: Sync` when calling the `access` method.

An alternative is to require `T: Sync` in the `impl Sync for LockedBy`.
This patch does not choose that approach as it gives up the ability to
use `LockedBy` with `!Sync` types, which is okay as long as you only use
`access_mut`.

<title>rust: macros: provide correct provenance when constructing THIS_MODULE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f9275893b07f23bb2c490a7a725709b56382e155</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

commit be2ca1e03965ffb214b6cbda0ffd84daeeb5f214 upstream.

To support a potential usage:

    static foo: Opaque&lt;Foo&gt; = ..; // Or defined in an extern block.

    ...

    fn bar() {
        let ptr = foo.get();
    }

`Opaque::get` need to be `const`, otherwise compiler will complain
because calls on statics are limited to const functions.

Also `Opaque::get` should be naturally `const` since it's a composition
of two `const` functions: `UnsafeCell::get` and `ptr::cast`.

The thread that calls the module initialisation code when a module is
loaded is not guaranteed [in fact, it is unlikely] to be the same one
that calls the module cleanup code on module unload, therefore, `Module`
implementations must be `Send` to account for them moving from one
thread to another implicitly.

[ Upstream commit 7044dcff8301b29269016ebd17df27c4736140d2 ]

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

[ Upstream commit 1b6170ff7a203a5e8354f19b7839fe8b897a9c0d ]

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).
