[ Upstream commit fde578c86281f27b182680c7642836a0dbbd0be7 ]

aligned_size() dates back to when Rust did support kmalloc() only, but
is now used in ReallocFunc::call() and hence for all allocators.

However, the additional padding applied by aligned_size() is only
required by the kmalloc() allocator backend.

Hence, replace aligned_size() with Kmalloc::aligned_layout() and use it
for the affected allocators, i.e. kmalloc() and kvmalloc(), only.

While at it, make Kmalloc::aligned_layout() public, such that Rust
abstractions, which have to call subsystem specific kmalloc() based
allocation primitives directly, can make use of it.

<title>rust: remove unneeded Rust 1.87.0 `allow(clippy::ptr_eq)`</title>

For the Rust 1.87.0 release, Clippy was expected to warn with:

    error: use `core::ptr::eq` when comparing raw pointers
       --&gt; rust/kernel/list.rs:438:12
        |
    438 |         if self.first == item {
        |            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: try: `core::ptr::eq(self.first, item)`
        |
        = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#ptr_eq
        = note: `-D clippy::ptr-eq` implied by `-D warnings`
        = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(clippy::ptr_eq)]`

However, a backport to relax a bit the `clippy::ptr_eq` finally landed,
and thus Clippy did not warn by the time the release happened.

Thus remove the `allow`s added back then, which were added just in case
the backport did not land in time.

See commit a39f30870927 ("rust: allow Rust 1.87.0's `clippy::ptr_eq`
lint") for details.

Some comments in Rust files use raw URLs (http://example.com) rather
than Markdown autolinks &lt;URL&gt;. This inconsistency makes the
documentation less uniform and harder to maintain.

This patch converts all remaining raw URLs in Rust code comments to use
the Markdown autolink format, maintaining consistency with the rest of
the codebase which already uses this style.

This adds a variant of Vec::insert that does not allocate memory. This
makes it safe to use this function while holding a spinlock. Rust Binder
uses it for the range allocator fast path.

This is needed by Rust Binder in the range allocator, and by upcoming
GPU drivers during firmware initialization.

Panics in the kernel are best avoided when possible, so an error is
returned if the index is out of bounds. An error type is used rather
than just returning Option&lt;T&gt; to let callers handle errors with ?.

This adds a common Vec method called `retain` that removes all elements
that don't match a certain condition. Rust Binder uses it to find all
processes that match a given pid.

The stdlib retain method takes &amp;T rather than &amp;mut T and has a separate
retain_mut for the &amp;mut T case. However, this is considered an API
mistake that can't be fixed now due to backwards compatibility. There's
no reason for us to repeat that mistake.
