<content type='text'>
commit c95bbb59a9b22f9b838b15d28319185c1c884329 upstream.

The term "receiver" means that a type can be used as the type of `self`,
and thus enables method call syntax `foo.bar()` instead of
`Foo::bar(foo)`. Stable Rust as of today (1.81) enables a limited
selection of types (primitives and types in std, e.g. `Box` and `Arc`)
to be used as receivers, while custom types cannot.

We want the kernel `Arc` type to have the same functionality as the Rust
std `Arc`, so we use the `Receiver` trait (gated behind `receiver_trait`
unstable feature) to gain the functionality.

The `arbitrary_self_types` RFC [1] (tracking issue [2]) is accepted and
it will allow all types that implement a new `Receiver` trait (different
from today's unstable trait) to be used as receivers. This trait will be
automatically implemented for all `Deref` types, which include our `Arc`
type, so we no longer have to opt-in to be used as receiver. To prepare
us for the change, remove the `Receiver` implementation and the
associated feature. To still allow `Arc` and others to be used as method
receivers, turn on `arbitrary_self_types` feature instead.

This feature gate is introduced in 1.23.0. It used to enable both
`Deref` types and raw pointer types to be used as receivers, but the
latter is now split into a different feature gate in Rust 1.83 nightly.
We do not need receivers on raw pointers so this change would not affect
us and usage of `arbitrary_self_types` feature would work for all Rust
versions that we support (&gt;=1.78).

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support 'MITIGATION_{RETHUNK,RETPOLINE,SLS}' (which cleans up
     objtool warnings), teach objtool about 'noreturn' Rust symbols and
     mimic '___ADDRESSABLE()' for 'module_{init,exit}'. With that, we
     should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
     object files.

   - KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.

   - Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
     change.

   - Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
     conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
     places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
     manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
     machinery for that.

   - Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
     the RANDSTRUCT plugin.

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
     counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
     unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
     'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
     pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
     itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
     into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
     field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
     heterogeneous lists.

   - New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
     upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
     node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
     'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
     (bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
     an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.

   - 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
     'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.

   - 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
     introducing an associated type in the trait.

   - 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.

   - 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
     'Pin&lt;Box&lt;T&gt;&gt;' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
     add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.

   - 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
     32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
     those.

  Documentation:

   - https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.

   - Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
     bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.

   - Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
     the freeze period), so add it to the list.

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Trevor is joining as reviewer of the "RUST" entry.

scripts/Makefile.lib is included not only from scripts/Makefile.build
but also from scripts/Makefile.{modfinal,package,vmlinux,vmlinux_o},
where DT build rules are not required.

Split the DT build rules out to scripts/Makefile.dtbs, and include it
only when necessary.

While I was here, I added $(DT_TMP_SCHEMA) as a prerequisite of
$(multi-dtb-y).

Now that we should be `objtool`-warning free, enable `objtool` for
Rust too.

Before this patch series, we were already getting warnings under e.g. IBT
builds, since those would see Rust code via `vmlinux.o`.

The objtool, sanitizers (KASAN, UBSAN, etc.), and profilers (GCOV, etc.)
are intended only for kernel space objects.

For instance, the following are not kernel objects, and therefore should
opt out of coverage:

  - vDSO
  - purgatory
  - bootloader (arch/*/boot/)

However, to exclude these from coverage, you need to explicitly set
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STNDARD=y, KASAN_SANITIZE=n, etc.

Kbuild can achieve this without relying on such variables because
objects not directly linked to vmlinux or modules are considered
"non-standard objects".

Detecting standard objects is straightforward:

  - objects added to obj-y or lib-y are linked to vmlinux
  - objects added to obj-m are linked to modules

There are some exceptional Makefiles (e.g., arch/s390/boot/Makefile,
arch/xtensa/boot/lib/Makefile) that use obj-y or lib-y for non-kernel
space objects, but they can be fixed later if necessary.

Going forward, objects that are not listed in obj-y, lib-y, or obj-m
will opt out of objtool, sanitizers, and profilers by default.

You can still override the Kbuild decision by explicitly specifying
OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc. but most of such Make
variables can be removed.

The next commit will clean up redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - exclude .vmlinux.export.o from UBSAN, KCOV
  - exclude arch/csky/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o from UBSAN
  - exclude arch/parisc/kernel/vdso32/vdso32.so from UBSAN
  - exclude arch/parisc/kernel/vdso64/vdso64.so from UBSAN
  - exclude arch/x86/um/vdso/um_vdso.o from UBSAN
  - exclude drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o from UBSAN, KCOV
  - exclude init/version-timestamp.o from UBSAN, KCOV
  - exclude lib/test_fortify/*.o from all santizers and profilers

I believe these are positive effects.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "The most notable change is the drop of the 'alloc' in-tree fork. This
  is nicely reflected in the diffstat as a ~10k lines drop. In turn,
  this makes the version upgrades way simpler and smaller in the future,
  e.g. the latest one in commit 56f64b370612 ("rust: upgrade to Rust
  1.78.0").

  More importantly, this increases the chances that a newer compiler
  version just works, which in turn means supporting several compiler
  versions is easier now. Thus we will look into finally setting a
  minimum version in the near future.

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Upgrade to Rust 1.78.0

     This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have
     aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove
     one more unstable feature ('offset_of') from the list, among other
     improvements

   - Drop 'alloc' in-tree fork of the standard library crate, which
     means all the unstable features used by 'alloc' (~30 language ones,
     ~60 library ones) are not a concern anymore

   - Support DWARFv5 via the '-Zdwarf-version' flag

   - Support zlib and zstd debuginfo compression via the
     '-Zdebuginfo-compression' flag

  'kernel' crate:

   - Support allocation flags ('GFP_*'), particularly in 'Box' (via
     'BoxExt'), 'Vec' (via 'VecExt'), 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc', as well as
     in the 'init' module APIs

   - Remove usage of the 'allocator_api' unstable feature

   - Remove 'try_' prefix in allocation APIs' names

   - Add 'VecExt' (an extension trait) to be able to drop the 'alloc'
     fork

   - Add the '{make,to}_{upper,lower}case()' methods to 'CStr'/'CString'

   - Add the 'as_ptr' method to 'ThisModule'

   - Add the 'from_raw' method to 'ArcBorrow'

   - Add the 'into_unique_or_drop' method to 'Arc'

   - Display column number in the 'dbg!' macro output by applying the
     equivalent change done to the standard library one

   - Migrate 'Work' to '#[pin_data]' thanks to the changes in the
     'macros' crate, which allows to remove an unsafe call in its 'new'
     associated function

   - Prevent namespacing issues when using the '[try_][pin_]init!'
     macros by changing the generated name of guard variables

   - Make the 'get' method in 'Opaque' const

   - Implement the 'Default' trait for 'LockClassKey'

   - Remove unneeded 'kernel::prelude' imports from doctests

   - Remove redundant imports

  'macros' crate:

   - Add 'decl_generics' to 'parse_generics()' to support default
     values, and use that to allow them in '#[pin_data]'

  Helpers:

   - Trivial English grammar fix

  Documentation:

   - Add section on Rust Kselftests to the 'Testing' document

   - Expand the 'Abstractions vs. bindings' section of the 'General
     Information' document"

Currently, Kbuild produces inconsistent results in some cases.

You can do an interesting experiment using the --shuffle option, which
is supported by GNU Make 4.4 or later.

Set CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y and CONFIG_KVM_AMD=m (or vice versa), and repeat
incremental builds w/wo --shuffle=reverse.

  $ make
    [ snip ]
    CC      arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s

  $ make --shuffle=reverse
    [ snip ]
    CC [M]  arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s

  $ make
    [ snip ]
    CC      arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s

arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is rebuilt every time w/wo the [M] marker.

arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as built-in when it is built as
a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.o, which is built-in.

arch/x86/kvm/kvm-asm-offsets.s is built as modular when it is built as
a prerequisite of arch/x86/kvm/kvm-amd.o, which is a module.

Another odd example is single target builds.

When CONFIG_LKDTM=m, drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o can be built as
built-in or modular, depending on how it is built.

  $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.o
    [ snip ]
    CC [M]  drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o

  $ make drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o
    [ snip ]
    CC      drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o

drivers/misc/lkdtm/rodata.o is built as modular when it is built as a
prerequisite of another, but built as built-in when it is a final
target.

The same thing happens to drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s when
CONFIG_TI_EMIF_SRAM=m.

  $ make drivers/memory/ti-emif-sram.o
    [ snip ]
    CC [M]  drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s

  $ make drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s
    [ snip ]
    CC      drivers/memory/emif-asm-offsets.s

This is because the part-of-module=y flag defined for the modules is
inherited by its prerequisites.

Target-specific variables are likely intended only for local use.
This commit adds 'private' to them.
