Linus Torvalds 8aebac8293 Rust introduction for v6.1-rc1
The initial support of Rust-for-Linux comes in roughly 4 areas:
 
 - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)
 
 - Kbuild infrastructure (Rust build rules and support scripts)
 
 - Rust crates and bindings for initial minimum viable build
 
 - Rust kernel documentation and samples
 
 Rust support has been in linux-next for a year and a half now, and the
 short log doesn't do justice to the number of people who have contributed
 both to the Linux kernel side but also to the upstream Rust side to
 support the kernel's needs. Thanks to these 173 people, and many more,
 who have been involved in all kinds of ways:

Pull Rust introductory support from Kees Cook:
 "The tree has a recent base, but has fundamentally been in linux-next
  for a year and a half[1]. It's been updated based on feedback from the
  Kernel Maintainer's Summit, and to gain recent Reviewed-by: tags.

  Miguel is the primary maintainer, with me helping where needed/wanted.
  Our plan is for the tree to switch to the standard non-rebasing
  practice once this initial infrastructure series lands.

  The contents are the absolute minimum to get Rust code building in the
  kernel, with many more interfaces[2] (and drivers - NVMe[3], 9p[4], M1
  GPU[5]) on the way.

   - Kernel internals (kallsyms expansion for Rust symbols, %pA format)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
