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:

Merge tag 'rust-v6.1-rc1' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux

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.

The Linux Kernel documentation
==============================
This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
you want to help out.
Working with the development community

community and getting your work upstream.
