Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "A small one compared to the previous one in terms of features. In terms of lines, as usual, the 'alloc' version upgrade accounts for most of them. Toolchain and infrastructure: - Upgrade to Rust 1.73.0 This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. They contain the fixes for a few issues we reported to the Rust project. In addition, a few cleanups indicated by the upgraded compiler or possible thanks to it. For instance, the compiler now detects redundant explicit links. - A couple changes to the Rust 'Makefile' so that it can be used with toybox tools, allowing Rust to be used in the Android kernel build. x86: - Enable IBT if enabled in C Documentation: - Add "The Rust experiment" section to the Rust index page MAINTAINERS: - Add Maintainer Entry Profile field ('P:'). - Update our 'W:' field to point to the webpage we have been building this year" * tag 'rust-6.7' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux: docs: rust: add "The Rust experiment" section x86: Enable IBT in Rust if enabled in C rust: Use grep -Ev rather than relying on GNU grep rust: Use awk instead of recent xargs rust: upgrade to Rust 1.73.0 rust: print: use explicit link in documentation rust: task: remove redundant explicit link rust: kernel: remove `#[allow(clippy::new_ret_no_self)]` MAINTAINERS: add Maintainer Entry Profile field for Rust MAINTAINERS: update Rust webpage rust: upgrade to Rust 1.72.1 rust: arc: add explicit `drop()` around `Box::from_raw()`

2023-08-21docs: rust: clarify what 'rustup override' doesTrevor Gross1-1/+3
The behavior of 'rustup override' is not very well known. Add a small note about what it does, so users have a better understanding of how it affects their system toolchain (i.e., it does not affect system toolchain and only sets a directory-specific override).

2023-08-21docs: rust: update instructions for obtaining 'core' sourceTrevor Gross1-7/+8
The source for Rust's 'core' library is needed to build the kernel with Rust support. This sometimes needs to be obtained by hand when using a standalone version of 'rustc' not managed by 'rustup'. Currently, the documentation suggests cloning the 'rust' repository to obtain these sources, but this is quite slow (on the order of a multiple minutes). Change this documentation to suggest using the source tarball instead. The tarball includes only needed files (<5M) and is significantly faster to download; this is more in line with what 'rustup' does. Also simplify wording of the relevant section.

2023-08-15rust: bindgen: upgrade to 0.65.1Aakash Sen Sharma1-1/+1
In LLVM 16, anonymous items may return names like `(unnamed union at ..)` rather than empty names [1], which breaks Rust-enabled builds because bindgen assumed an empty name instead of detecting them via `clang_Cursor_isAnonymous` [2]: $ make rustdoc LLVM=1 CLIPPY=1 -j$(nproc) RUSTC L rust/core.o BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_helpers_generated.rs BINDGEN rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9 ... thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9 ... This was fixed in bindgen 0.62.0. Therefore, upgrade bindgen to a more recent version, 0.65.1, to support LLVM 16. Since bindgen 0.58.0 changed the `--{white,black}list-*` flags to `--{allow,block}list-*` [3], update them on our side too. In addition, bindgen 0.61.0 moved its CLI utility into a binary crate called `bindgen-cli` [4]. Thus update the installation command in the Quick Start guide. Moreover, bindgen 0.61.0 changed the default functionality to bind `size_t` to `usize` [5] and added the `--no-size_t-is-usize` flag to not bind `size_t` as `usize`. Then bindgen 0.65.0 removed the `--size_t-is-usize` flag [6]. Thus stop passing the flag to bindgen. Finally, bindgen 0.61.0 added support for the `noreturn` attribute (in its different forms) [7]. Thus remove the infinite loop in our Rust panic handler after calling `BUG()`, since bindgen now correctly generates a `BUG()` binding that returns `!` instead of `()`.

2023-05-31docs: rust: point directly to the standalone installersMiguel Ojeda1-2/+2
The Quick Start guide points to the Rust programming language front page when it mentions the possibility of using the standalone installers instead of `rustup`. This was done to have a hopefully stable link, but it is not too helpful: readers need to figure out how to reach the standalone installers from there. Thus point directly to the page (and anchor) with the table that contains the standalone installers (plus signing key etc.). If the link breaks in the future, we can always update it as needed. And anyway having the full link includes the domain and gives more information about where the old docs were in such a broken link case, which may help.

CONFIG_RUST currently supports x86_64, but does not support it under UML. With the previous patches applied, adding support is trivial: add CONFIG_HAVE_RUST to UML if X86_64 is set. The scripts/generate_rust_target.rs file already checks for CONFIG_X86_64, not CONFIG_X86, so is prepared for UML support. The Rust support does not currently support X86_32.

2022-09-28docs: add Rust documentationMiguel Ojeda5-0/+567
Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module (e.g. drivers) written across the kernel. However, these documents contain general information that does not fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide. It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the documentation folder.
