We discovered that the current design of `borrow_mut` is problematic.
This patch removes it until a better solution can be found.
Specifically, the current design gives you access to a `&mut T`, which
lets you change where the `ForeignOwnable` points (e.g., with
`core::mem::swap`). No upcoming user of this API intended to make that
possible, making all of them unsound.

Currently the rust allocator simply passes the size of the type Layout
to krealloc(), and in theory the alignment requirement from the type
Layout may be larger than the guarantee provided by SLAB, which means
the allocated object is mis-aligned.
Fix this by adjusting the allocation size to the nearest power of two,
which SLAB always guarantees a size-aligned allocation. And because Rust
guarantees that the original size must be a multiple of alignment and
the alignment must be a power of two, then the alignment requirement is
satisfied.

Add a method for comparing whether two `Arc` pointers reference the same
underlying object.
This comparison can already be done by getting a reference to the inner
values and comparing whether the references have the same address.
However, writing `Arc::ptr_eq(a, b)` is generally less error-prone than
doing the same check on the references, since you might otherwise
accidentally compare the two `&Arc<T>` references instead, which wont
work because those are pointers to pointers to the inner value, when you
just want to compare the pointers to the inner value.
Also, this method might optimize better because getting a reference to
the inner value involves offsetting the pointer, which this method does
not need to do.

they are not supposed to be visible from userspace. However, they are
still a perfectly valid error to use when writing a kernel driver. For
example, you might want to return ERESTARTSYS if you receive a signal
during a call to `schedule`.

often is, since it's in the kernel's prelude), you cannot write

To solve this we change the error type from being hard-coded to just
being a default generic parameter. This still lets you write `Result<T>`

When using `#[pin_data]` on a struct that used `Self` in the field
types, a type error would be emitted when trying to use `pin_init!`.
Since an internal type would be referenced by `Self` instead of the
defined struct.
This patch fixes this issue by replacing all occurrences of `Self` in
the `#[pin_data]` macro with the concrete type circumventing the issue.
Since rust allows type definitions inside of blocks, which are
expressions, the macro also checks for these and emits a compile error
when it finds `trait`, `enum`, `union`, `struct` or `impl`. These
keywords allow creating new `Self` contexts, which conflicts with the
current implementation of replacing every `Self` ident. If these were
allowed, some `Self` idents would be replaced incorrectly.

This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust
merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest).
# Context
The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather
than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2]
which do not promise backwards compatibility.
The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for
the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be
stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel
will support is "in the future".
# Upgrade policy
Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be
ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as
possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we
could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading
so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC
and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs.
half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC.
Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly
either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be
able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel
anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead,
kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust
release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones,
especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back /
downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may
not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide
and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks.
Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and
decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of
Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it
over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit
3519c4d6e0 ("Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm version").
# Unstable features stabilized
This upgrade allows us to remove the following unstable features since
they were stabilized:
- `feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait)` (1.63).
- `feature(core_ffi_c)` (1.64).
- `feature(generic_associated_types)` (1.65).
- `feature(const_ptr_offset_from)` (1.65, *).
- `feature(bench_black_box)` (1.66, *).
- `feature(pin_macro)` (1.68).
The ones marked with `*` apply only to our old `rust` branch, not
mainline yet, i.e. only for code that we may potentially upstream.
With this patch applied, the only unstable feature allowed to be used
outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [2] for details.
# Other required changes
Since 1.63, `rustdoc` triggers the `broken_intra_doc_links` lint for
links pointing to exported (`#[macro_export]`) `macro_rules`. An issue
was opened upstream [4], but it turns out it is intended behavior. For
the moment, just add an explicit reference for each link. Later we can
revisit this if `rustdoc` removes the compatibility measure.
Nevertheless, this was helpful to discover a link that was pointing to
the wrong place unintentionally. Since that one was actually wrong, it
is fixed in a previous commit independently.
Another change was the addition of `cfg(no_rc)` and `cfg(no_sync)` in
upstream [5], thus remove our original changes for that.
Similarly, upstream now tests that it compiles successfully with
`#[cfg(not(no_global_oom_handling))]` [6], which allow us to get rid
of some changes, such as an `#[allow(dead_code)]`.
In addition, remove another `#[allow(dead_code)]` due to new uses
within the standard library.
Finally, add `try_extend_trusted` and move the code in `spec_extend.rs`
since upstream moved it for the infallible version.
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
There are a large amount of changes, but the vast majority of them are
due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

`Arc<T>::init` refers to `Arc<T>::pin_init` via an intra-doc link
using the text `pin_init`, rather than more explicitly, which makes
`rustdoc` point it to the `pin_init!` macro instead.
This is required for the compiler upgrade since the newer `rustdoc`
would trigger the `broken_intra_doc_links` lint [1], but in this case
the macro was not the intended target to begin with, and so the actual
fix is to make it point to the right place, regardless of the upgrade.
Thus make it more explicit.

More additions to the Rust core. Importantly, this adds the pin-init
API, which will be used by other abstractions, such as the
synchronization ones added here too:
- pin-init API: a solution for the safe pinned initialization problem.
This allows to reduce the need for 'unsafe' code in the kernel when
dealing with data structures that require a stable address. Commit
90e53c5e70 ("rust: add pin-init API core") contains a nice
introduction -- here is an example of how it looks like:
#[pin_data]
struct Example {
#[pin]
value: Mutex<u32>,
#[pin]
value_changed: CondVar,
}
impl Example {
fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
pin_init!(Self {
value <- new_mutex!(0),
value_changed <- new_condvar!(),
})
}
}
// In a `Box`.
let b = Box::pin_init(Example::new())?;
// In the stack.
stack_pin_init!(let s = Example::new());
- 'sync' module: new types 'LockClassKey' ('struct lock_class_key'),
'Lock', 'Guard', 'Mutex' ('struct mutex'), 'SpinLock'
('spinlock_t'), 'LockedBy' and 'CondVar' (uses 'wait_queue_head_t'),
plus macros such as 'static_lock_class!' and 'new_spinlock!'.
In particular, 'Lock' and 'Guard' are generic implementations that
contain code that is common to all locks. Then, different backends
(the new 'Backend' trait) are implemented and used to define types
like 'Mutex':
type Mutex<T> = Lock<T, MutexBackend>;
In addition, new methods 'assume_init()', 'init_with()' and
'pin_init_with()' for 'UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>' and 'downcast()'
for 'Arc<dyn Any + Send + Sync>'; as well as 'Debug' and 'Display'
implementations for 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc'. Reduced stack usage of
'UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()', too.
- 'types' module: new trait 'AlwaysRefCounted' and new type 'ARef'
(an owned reference to an always-reference-counted object, meant to
be used in wrappers for C types that have their own ref counting
functions).
Moreover, new associated functions 'raw_get()' and 'ffi_init()'
for 'Opaque'.
- New 'task' module with a new type 'Task' ('struct task_struct'), and
a new macro 'current!' to safely get a reference to the current one.
- New 'ioctl' module with new '_IOC*' const functions (equivalent to
the C macros).
- New 'uapi' crate, intended to be accessible by drivers directly.
- 'macros' crate: new 'quote!' macro (similar to the one provided in
userspace by the 'quote' crate); and the 'module!' macro now allows
specifying multiple module aliases.
- 'error' module: new associated functions for the 'Error' type,
such as 'from_errno()' and new functions such as 'to_result()'.
- 'alloc' crate: more fallible 'Vec' methods: 'try_resize` and
'try_extend_from_slice' and the infrastructure (imported from
the Rust standard library) they need.

"More additions to the Rust core. Importantly, this adds the pin-init
API, which will be used by other abstractions, such as the
synchronization ones added here too:
- pin-init API: a solution for the safe pinned initialization
problem.
This allows to reduce the need for 'unsafe' code in the kernel when
dealing with data structures that require a stable address. Commit
90e53c5e70 ("rust: add pin-init API core") contains a nice
introduction -- here is an example of how it looks like:
#[pin_data]
struct Example {
#[pin]
value: Mutex<u32>,
#[pin]
value_changed: CondVar,
}
impl Example {
fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
pin_init!(Self {
value <- new_mutex!(0),
value_changed <- new_condvar!(),
})
}
}
// In a `Box`.
let b = Box::pin_init(Example::new())?;
// In the stack.
stack_pin_init!(let s = Example::new());
- 'sync' module:
New types 'LockClassKey' ('struct lock_class_key'), 'Lock',
'Guard', 'Mutex' ('struct mutex'), 'SpinLock' ('spinlock_t'),
'LockedBy' and 'CondVar' (uses 'wait_queue_head_t'), plus macros
such as 'static_lock_class!' and 'new_spinlock!'.
In particular, 'Lock' and 'Guard' are generic implementations that
contain code that is common to all locks. Then, different backends
(the new 'Backend' trait) are implemented and used to define types
like 'Mutex':
type Mutex<T> = Lock<T, MutexBackend>;
In addition, new methods 'assume_init()', 'init_with()' and
'pin_init_with()' for 'UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>' and 'downcast()'
for 'Arc<dyn Any + Send + Sync>'; as well as 'Debug' and 'Display'
implementations for 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc'. Reduced stack usage of
'UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()', too.
- 'types' module:
New trait 'AlwaysRefCounted' and new type 'ARef' (an owned
reference to an always-reference-counted object, meant to be used
in wrappers for C types that have their own ref counting
functions).
Moreover, new associated functions 'raw_get()' and 'ffi_init()' for
'Opaque'.
- New 'task' module with a new type 'Task' ('struct task_struct'),
and a new macro 'current!' to safely get a reference to the current
one.
- New 'ioctl' module with new '_IOC*' const functions (equivalent to
the C macros).
- New 'uapi' crate, intended to be accessible by drivers directly.
- 'macros' crate: new 'quote!' macro (similar to the one provided in
userspace by the 'quote' crate); and the 'module!' macro now allows
specifying multiple module aliases.
- 'error' module:
New associated functions for the 'Error' type, such as
'from_errno()' and new functions such as 'to_result()'.
- 'alloc' crate:
More fallible 'Vec' methods: 'try_resize` and
'try_extend_from_slice' and the infrastructure (imported from the
Rust standard library) they need"

we'll have to reimplement them in Rust. Thankfully, the C headers do

This crate mirrors the `bindings` crate, but will contain only UAPI
bindings. Unlike the bindings crate, drivers may directly use this crate
if they have to interface with userspace.
Initially, just bind the generic ioctl stuff.
In the future, we would also like to add additional checks to ensure
that all types exposed by this crate satisfy UAPI-safety guarantees
(that is, they are safely castable to/from a "bag of bits").

`UniqueArc::try_new_uninit` calls `Arc::try_new(MaybeUninit::uninit())`.
This results in the uninitialized memory being placed on the stack,
which may be arbitrarily large due to the generic `T` and thus could
cause a stack overflow for large types.
Change the implementation to use the pin-init API which enables in-place
initialization. In particular it avoids having to first construct and
then move the uninitialized memory from the stack into the final location.

This API is used to facilitate safe pinned initialization of structs. It
replaces cumbersome `unsafe` manual initialization with elegant safe macro
invocations.
Due to the size of this change it has been split into six commits:
1. This commit introducing the basic public interface: traits and
functions to represent and create initializers.
2. Adds the `#[pin_data]`, `pin_init!`, `try_pin_init!`, `init!` and
`try_init!` macros along with their internal types.
3. Adds the `InPlaceInit` trait that allows using an initializer to create
an object inside of a `Box<T>` and other smart pointers.
4. Adds the `PinnedDrop` trait and adds macro support for it in
the `#[pin_data]` macro.
5. Adds the `stack_pin_init!` macro allowing to pin-initialize a struct on
the stack.
6. Adds the `Zeroable` trait and `init::zeroed` function to initialize
types that have `0x00` in all bytes as a valid bit pattern.
--
In this section the problem that the new pin-init API solves is outlined.
This message describes the entirety of the API, not just the parts
introduced in this commit. For a more granular explanation and additional
information on pinning and this issue, view [1].
Pinning is Rust's way of enforcing the address stability of a value. When a
value gets pinned it will be impossible for safe code to move it to another
location. This is done by wrapping pointers to said object with `Pin<P>`.
This wrapper prevents safe code from creating mutable references to the
object, preventing mutable access, which is needed to move the value.
`Pin<P>` provides `unsafe` functions to circumvent this and allow
modifications regardless. It is then the programmer's responsibility to
uphold the pinning guarantee.
Many kernel data structures require a stable address, because there are
foreign pointers to them which would get invalidated by moving the
structure. Since these data structures are usually embedded in structs to
use them, this pinning property propagates to the container struct.
Resulting in most structs in both Rust and C code needing to be pinned.
So if we want to have a `mutex` field in a Rust struct, this struct also
needs to be pinned, because a `mutex` contains a `list_head`. Additionally
initializing a `list_head` requires already having the final memory
location available, because it is initialized by pointing it to itself. But
this presents another challenge in Rust: values have to be initialized at
all times. There is the `MaybeUninit<T>` wrapper type, which allows
handling uninitialized memory, but this requires using the `unsafe` raw
pointers and a casting the type to the initialized variant.
This problem gets exacerbated when considering encapsulation and the normal
safety requirements of Rust code. The fields of the Rust `Mutex<T>` should
not be accessible to normal driver code. After all if anyone can modify
the fields, there is no way to ensure the invariants of the `Mutex<T>` are
upheld. But if the fields are inaccessible, then initialization of a
`Mutex<T>` needs to be somehow achieved via a function or a macro. Because
the `Mutex<T>` must be pinned in memory, the function cannot return it by
value. It also cannot allocate a `Box` to put the `Mutex<T>` into, because
that is an unnecessary allocation and indirection which would hurt
performance.
The solution in the rust tree (e.g. this commit: [2]) that is replaced by
this API is to split this function into two parts:
1. A `new` function that returns a partially initialized `Mutex<T>`,
2. An `init` function that requires the `Mutex<T>` to be pinned and that
fully initializes the `Mutex<T>`.
Both of these functions have to be marked `unsafe`, since a call to `new`
needs to be accompanied with a call to `init`, otherwise using the
`Mutex<T>` could result in UB. And because calling `init` twice also is not
safe. While `Mutex<T>` initialization cannot fail, other structs might
also have to allocate memory, which would result in conditional successful
initialization requiring even more manual accommodation work.
Combine this with the problem of pin-projections -- the way of accessing
fields of a pinned struct -- which also have an `unsafe` API, pinned
initialization is riddled with `unsafe` resulting in very poor ergonomics.
Not only that, but also having to call two functions possibly multiple
lines apart makes it very easy to forget it outright or during refactoring.
Here is an example of the current way of initializing a struct with two
synchronization primitives (see [3] for the full example):
struct SharedState {
state_changed: CondVar,
inner: Mutex<SharedStateInner>,
}
impl SharedState {
fn try_new() -> Result<Arc<Self>> {
let mut state = Pin::from(UniqueArc::try_new(Self {
// SAFETY: `condvar_init!` is called below.
state_changed: unsafe { CondVar::new() },
// SAFETY: `mutex_init!` is called below.
inner: unsafe {
Mutex::new(SharedStateInner { token_count: 0 })
},
})?);
// SAFETY: `state_changed` is pinned when `state` is.
let pinned = unsafe {
state.as_mut().map_unchecked_mut(|s| &mut s.state_changed)
};
kernel::condvar_init!(pinned, "SharedState::state_changed");
// SAFETY: `inner` is pinned when `state` is.
let pinned = unsafe {
state.as_mut().map_unchecked_mut(|s| &mut s.inner)
};
kernel::mutex_init!(pinned, "SharedState::inner");
Ok(state.into())
}
}
The pin-init API of this patch solves this issue by providing a
comprehensive solution comprised of macros and traits. Here is the example
from above using the pin-init API:
#[pin_data]
struct SharedState {
#[pin]
state_changed: CondVar,
#[pin]
inner: Mutex<SharedStateInner>,
}
impl SharedState {
fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
pin_init!(Self {
state_changed <- new_condvar!("SharedState::state_changed"),
inner <- new_mutex!(
SharedStateInner { token_count: 0 },
"SharedState::inner",
),
})
}
}
Notably the way the macro is used here requires no `unsafe` and thus comes
with the usual Rust promise of safe code not introducing any memory
violations. Additionally it is now up to the caller of `new()` to decide
the memory location of the `SharedState`. They can choose at the moment
`Arc<T>`, `Box<T>` or the stack.
--
The API has the following architecture:
1. Initializer traits `PinInit<T, E>` and `Init<T, E>` that act like
closures.
2. Macros to create these initializer traits safely.
3. Functions to allow manually writing initializers.
The initializers (an `impl PinInit<T, E>`) receive a raw pointer pointing
to uninitialized memory and their job is to fully initialize a `T` at that
location. If initialization fails, they return an error (`E`) by value.
This way of initializing cannot be safely exposed to the user, since it
relies upon these properties outside of the control of the trait:
- the memory location (slot) needs to be valid memory,
- if initialization fails, the slot should not be read from,
- the value in the slot should be pinned, so it cannot move and the memory
cannot be deallocated until the value is dropped.
This is why using an initializer is facilitated by another trait that
ensures these requirements.
These initializers can be created manually by just supplying a closure that
fulfills the same safety requirements as `PinInit<T, E>`. But this is an
`unsafe` operation. To allow safe initializer creation, the `pin_init!` is
provided along with three other variants: `try_pin_init!`, `try_init!` and
`init!`. These take a modified struct initializer as a parameter and
generate a closure that initializes the fields in sequence.
The macros take great care in upholding the safety requirements:
- A shadowed struct type is used as the return type of the closure instead
of `()`. This is to prevent early returns, as these would prevent full
initialization.
- To ensure every field is only initialized once, a normal struct
initializer is placed in unreachable code. The type checker will emit
errors if a field is missing or specified multiple times.
- When initializing a field fails, the whole initializer will fail and
automatically drop fields that have been initialized earlier.
- Only the correct initializer type is allowed for unpinned fields. You
cannot use a `impl PinInit<T, E>` to initialize a structurally not pinned
field.
To ensure the last point, an additional macro `#[pin_data]` is needed. This
macro annotates the struct itself and the user specifies structurally
pinned and not pinned fields.
Because dropping a pinned struct is also not allowed to break the pinning
invariants, another macro attribute `#[pinned_drop]` is needed. This
macro is introduced in a following commit.
These two macros also have mechanisms to ensure the overall safety of the
API. Additionally, they utilize a combined proc-macro, declarative macro
design: first a proc-macro enables the outer attribute syntax `#[...]` and
does some important pre-parsing. Notably this prepares the generics such
that the declarative macro can handle them using token trees. Then the
actual parsing of the structure and the emission of code is handled by a
declarative macro.
For pin-projections the crates `pin-project` [4] and `pin-project-lite` [5]
had been considered, but were ultimately rejected:
- `pin-project` depends on `syn` [6] which is a very big dependency, around
50k lines of code.
- `pin-project-lite` is a more reasonable 5k lines of code, but contains a
very complex declarative macro to parse generics. On top of that it
would require modification that would need to be maintained
independently.

This function mirrors `UnsafeCell::raw_get`. It avoids creating a
reference and allows solely using raw pointers.
The `pin-init` API will be using this, since uninitialized memory
requires raw pointers.

Change the error type of the constructors of `Arc` and `UniqueArc` to be
`AllocError` instead of `Error`. This makes the API more clear as to
what can go wrong when calling `try_new` or its variants.

Add a helper function to easily return C result codes from a Rust function
that calls functions which return a Result<T>.
Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/rust, originally developed by Wedson
as part of file_operations.rs. Added the allow() flags since there is no
user in the kernel crate yet and fixed a typo in a comment. Replaced the
macro with a function taking a closure, per discussion on the ML.

Some kernel C API functions return a pointer which embeds an optional
`errno`. Callers are supposed to check the returned pointer with
`IS_ERR()` and if this returns `true`, retrieve the `errno` using
`PTR_ERR()`.
Create a Rust helper function to implement the Rust equivalent:
transform a `*mut T` to `Result<*mut T>`.
Lina: Imported from rust-for-linux/linux, with subsequent refactoring
and contributions squashed in and attributed below. Renamed the function
to from_err_ptr().
