Symbols in the bss segment are not currently exported. This is a problem
for Rust modules that link against statics, that are resident in the kernel
image. Thus export symbols in the bss segment.

Alice reported [1] that an arm64 build failed with:

    ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __extendsfdf2
    &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by core.a6f5fc5794e7b7b3-cgu.0
    &gt;&gt;&gt;               rust/core.o:(&lt;f32&gt;::midpoint) in archive vmlinux.a

    &gt;&gt;&gt;               rust/core.o:(&lt;f32&gt;::midpoint) in archive vmlinux.a

Rust 1.80.0 or later together with `CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y`
is what triggers it.

In addition, x86_64 builds also fail the same way.

Similarly, compiling with Rust 1.82.0 (currently in nightly) makes
another one appear, possibly due to the LLVM 19 upgrade there:

    ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __eqdf2
    &gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by core.20495ea57a9f069d-cgu.0

    &gt;&gt;&gt;               rust/core.o:(&lt;f64&gt;::next_down) in archive vmlinux.a

Gary adds [1]:

&gt; Usually the fix on rustc side is to mark those functions as `#[inline]`
&gt;
&gt; All of {midpoint,next_up,next_down} are indeed unstable functions not
&gt; marked as inline...

Fix all those by adding those intrinsics to our usual workaround.

[ Trevor quickly submitted a fix to upstream Rust [2] that has already
  been merged, to be released in Rust 1.82.0 (2024-10-17). - Miguel ]

<title>kbuild: rust: skip -fmin-function-alignment in bindgen flags</title>

<id>869b5016e94eced02f2cf99bf53c69b49adcee32</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC 14 recently added -fmin-function-alignment option and the
root Makefile uses it to replace -falign-functions when available.
However, this flag can cause issues when passed to the Rust
Makefile and affect the bindgen process. Bindgen relies on
libclang to parse C code, and currently does not support the
-fmin-function-alignment flag, leading to compilation failures
when GCC 14 is used.

This patch addresses the issue by adding -fmin-function-alignment
to the bindgen_skip_c_flags in rust/Makefile. This prevents the
flag from causing compilation issues.

[ Matthew and Gary confirm function alignment should not change
  the ABI in a way that bindgen would care about, thus we did
  not need the extra logic for bindgen from v2. - Miguel ]

<title>rust: Support latest version of `rust-analyzer`</title>

<content type='text'>
Sets the `sysroot` field in rust-project.json which is now needed in
newer versions of rust-analyzer instead of the `sysroot_src` field.

Till [1] `rust-analyzer` used to guess the `sysroot` based on the
`sysroot_src` at [2]. Now `sysroot` is a required parameter for a
`rust-project.json` file. It is required because `rust-analyzer`
need it to find the proc-macro server [3].

In the current version of `rust-analyzer` the `sysroot_src` is only used
to include the inbuilt library crates (std, core, alloc, etc) [4]. Since
we already specify the core library to be included in the
`rust-project.json` we don't need to define the `sysroot_src`.

Code editors like VS Code try to use the latest version of rust-analyzer
(which is updated every week) instead of the version of rust-analyzer
that comes with the rustup toolchain (which is updated every six weeks
along with the rust version).

Without this change `rust-analyzer` is breaking for anyone using VS Code.
As they are getting the latest version of `rust-analyzer` with the
changes made in [1].

`rust-analyzer` will also start breaking for other developers as they
update their rust version (assuming that also updates the rust-analyzer
version on their system).

This patch should work with every setup as there is no more guess work
being done by `rust-analyzer`.

[ Lukas, who leads the rust-analyzer team, says:

    `sysroot_src` is required now if you want to have the sysroot
    source libraries be loaded. I think we used to infer it as
    `{sysroot}/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library` before when only the
    `sysroot` field was given but that was since changed to make it
    possible in having a sysroot without the standard library sources
    (that is only have the binaries available). So if you want the
    library sources to be loaded by rust-analyzer you will have to set
    that field as well now.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
  toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.

  The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
  we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
  Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
  plus beta, plus nightly.

  This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
  that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
  Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
  Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
  openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.

  In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
  CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
  compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
  passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
  their CI too.

  Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
  unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
  in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
  need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
  compiler versions should generally work.

  In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
  stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
  flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].

  I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
  promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support several Rust toolchain versions.

   - Support several bindgen versions.

   - Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
     'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.

   - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.

   - Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.

   - Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
     macro.

  'macros' crate:

   - Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.

   - Improve 'module!' macro documentation.

  Documentation:

   - Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
     the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.

   - Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.

   - Explain '#[no_std]'.

  And a few other small bits"

  CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
  compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
  passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
  their CI too.

  Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
  unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
  in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
  need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
  compiler versions should generally work.

  In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
  stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
  flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].

  I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
  promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support several Rust toolchain versions.

   - Support several bindgen versions.

   - Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
     'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.

   - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.

   - Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.

   - Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
     macro.

  'macros' crate:

   - Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.

   - Improve 'module!' macro documentation.

  Documentation:

   - Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
     the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.

   - Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.

   - Explain '#[no_std]'.

  And a few other small bits"

<title>rust: relax most deny-level lints to warnings</title>

<content type='text'>
Since we are starting to support several Rust toolchains, lints (including
Clippy ones) now may behave differently and lint groups may include
new lints.

Therefore, to maximize the chances a given version works, relax some
deny-level lints to warnings. It may also make our lives a bit easier
while developing new code or refactoring.

To be clear, the requirements for in-tree code are still the same, since
Rust code still needs to be warning-free (patches should be clean under
`WERROR=y`) and the set of lints is not changed.

`unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` is left unmodified, i.e. as an error, since it is
becoming the default in the language (warn-by-default in Rust 2024 [1] and
ideally an error later on) and thus it should also be very well tested. In
addition, it is simple enough that it should not have false positives
(unlike e.g. `rust_2018_idioms`'s `explicit_outlives_requirements`).

`non_ascii_idents` is left unmodified as well, i.e. as an error, since
it is unlikely one gains any productivity during development if it
were a warning (in fact, it may be worse, since it is likely one made
a typo). In addition, it should not have false positives.

Finally, put the two `-D` ones at the top and take the chance to do one
per line.

<title>kbuild: rust: remove now-unneeded `rusttest` custom sysroot handling</title>

<content type='text'>
Since we dropped our custom `alloc` in commit 9d0441bab775 ("rust: alloc:
remove our fork of the `alloc` crate"), there is no need anymore to keep
the custom sysroot hack.

Thus delete it, which makes the target way simpler and faster too.

This also means we are not using Cargo for anything at the moment,
and that no download is required anymore, so update the main `Makefile`
and the documentation accordingly.

<title>arch: um: rust: Add i386 support for Rust</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=ab0f4cedc3554f921691ce5b63d59e258154e799'/>
<id>ab0f4cedc3554f921691ce5b63d59e258154e799</id>
<content type='text'>
At present, Rust in the kernel only supports 64-bit x86, so UML has
followed suit. However, it's significantly easier to support 32-bit i386
on UML than on bare metal, as UML does not use the -mregparm option
(which alters the ABI), which is not yet supported by rustc[1].

Add support for CONFIG_RUST on um/i386, by adding a new target config to
generate_rust_target, and replacing various checks on CONFIG_X86_64 to
also support CONFIG_X86_32.

We still use generate_rust_target, rather than a built-in rustc target,
in order to match x86_64, provide a future place for -mregparm, and more
easily disable floating point instructions.

With these changes, the KUnit tests pass with:
kunit.py run --make_options LLVM=1 --kconfig_add CONFIG_RUST=y
--kconfig_add CONFIG_64BIT=n --kconfig_add CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=n

An earlier version of these changes was proposed on the Rust-for-Linux
github[2].
