Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda "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 90e53c5e70a6 ("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" * tag 'rust-6.4' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux: (44 commits) rust: ioctl: Add ioctl number manipulation functions rust: uapi: Add UAPI crate rust: sync: introduce `CondVar` rust: lock: add `Guard::do_unlocked` rust: sync: introduce `LockedBy` rust: introduce `current` rust: add basic `Task` rust: introduce `ARef` rust: lock: introduce `SpinLock` rust: lock: introduce `Mutex` rust: sync: introduce `Lock` and `Guard` rust: sync: introduce `LockClassKey` MAINTAINERS: add Benno Lossin as Rust reviewer rust: init: broaden the blanket impl of `Init` rust: sync: add functions for initializing `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` rust: sync: reduce stack usage of `UniqueArc::try_new_uninit` rust: types: add `Opaque::ffi_init` rust: prelude: add `pin-init` API items to prelude rust: init: add `Zeroable` trait and `init::zeroed` function rust: init: add `stack_pin_init!` macro ...
