2023-04-22rust: sync: introduce `CondVar`Wedson Almeida Filho1-0/+1
This is the traditional condition variable or monitor synchronisation primitive. It is implemented with C's `wait_queue_head_t`. It allows users to release a lock and go to sleep while guaranteeing that notifications won't be missed. This is achieved by enqueuing a wait entry before releasing the lock.

2023-04-22rust: add basic `Task`Wedson Almeida Filho1-0/+1
It is an abstraction for C's `struct task_struct`. It implements `AlwaysRefCounted`, so the refcount of the wrapped object is managed safely on the Rust side.

2023-01-17rust: sync: add `Arc` for ref-counted allocationsWedson Almeida Filho2-0/+2
This is a basic implementation of `Arc` backed by C's `refcount_t`. It allows Rust code to idiomatically allocate memory that is ref-counted.

2022-09-28rust: add `bindings` crateMiguel Ojeda2-0/+66
This crate contains the bindings to the C side of the kernel. Calling C (in general, FFI) is assumed to be unsafe in Rust and, in many cases, this is accurate. For instance, virtually all C functions that take a pointer are unsafe since, typically, it will be dereferenced at some point (and in most cases there is no way for the callee to check its validity beforehand). Since one of the goals of using Rust in the kernel is precisely to avoid unsafe code in "leaf" kernel modules (e.g. drivers), these bindings should not be used directly by them. Instead, these bindings need to be wrapped into safe abstractions. These abstractions provide a safe API that kernel modules can use. In this way, unsafe code in kernel modules is minimized.
