commit 68bf102226cf2199dc609b67c1e847cad4de4b57 upstream

When a field has been initialized, `init!`/`pin_init!` create a reference
or pinned reference to the field so it can be accessed later during the
initialization of other fields. However, the reference it created is
incorrectly `&amp;'static` rather than just the scope of the initializer.

This means that you can do

    init!(Foo {
        a: 1,
        _: {
            let b: &amp;'static u32 = a;
        }
    })

which is unsound.

This is caused by `&amp;mut (*#slot).#ident`, which actually allows arbitrary
lifetime, so this is effectively `'static`. Somewhat ironically, the safety
justification of creating the accessor is.. "SAFETY: TODO".

Fix it by adding `let_binding` method on `DropGuard` to shorten lifetime.
This results exactly what we want for these accessors. The safety and
invariant comments of `DropGuard` have been reworked; instead of reasoning
about what caller can do with the guard, express it in a way that the
ownership is transferred to the guard and `forget` takes it back, so the
unsafe operations within the `DropGuard` can be more easily justified.

commit 83ac2870310b694775ab7e8f0244fdd94fc21926 upstream.

Instead of having the reference creation serving dual-purpose as both for
let bindings and alignment check, detangle them so that the alignment check
is done explicitly in `make_field_check`. This is more robust against
refactors that may change the way let bindings are created.

commit 18fb5f1f0289b8217c0c43d54d12bccc201dd640 upstream.

When DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING is passed to dma_alloc_attrs(), the
returned CPU address is not a pointer to the allocated memory but an
opaque handle (e.g. struct page *).

Coherent&lt;T&gt; (or CoherentAllocation&lt;T&gt; respectively) stores this value as
NonNull&lt;T&gt; and exposes methods that dereference it and even modify its
contents.

Remove the flag from the public attrs module such that drivers cannot
pass it to Coherent&lt;T&gt; (or CoherentAllocation&lt;T&gt; respectively) in the
first place.

Instead DMA_ATTR_NO_KERNEL_MAPPING can be supported with an additional
opaque type (e.g. CoherentHandle) which does not provide access to the
allocated memory.

<title>rust: regulator: do not assume that regulator_get() returns non-null</title>

<content type='text'>
The Rust `Regulator` abstraction uses `NonNull` to wrap the underlying
`struct regulator` pointer. When `CONFIG_REGULATOR` is disabled, the C
stub for `regulator_get` returns `NULL`. `from_err_ptr` does not treat
`NULL` as an error, so it was passed to `NonNull::new_unchecked`,
causing undefined behavior.

Fix this by using a raw pointer `*mut bindings::regulator` instead of
`NonNull`. This allows `inner` to be `NULL` when `CONFIG_REGULATOR` is
disabled, and leverages the C stubs which are designed to handle `NULL`
or are no-ops.

<content type='text'>
The kernel fmt! proc macro wraps each format argument as &amp;(arg). Passing a
tuple such as (a, b) produces &amp;((a, b)) after expansion. Clippy flags that
as double_parens, but it is a false positive fixed in Clippy 1.92 [1] [2].

Suppress the warning on the affected doctest function with a reason
attribute so it can be removed once the minimum toolchain moves past 1.92.

[ We may end up deciding to support per-version Clippy lints, in which
  case we will need [3].

  In the future, if [4] gets fixed, we may be able to use
  `Delimiter::None` as Gary suggested in [5].

The kernel fmt! proc macro wraps each format argument as &amp;(arg). Passing a
tuple such as (a, b) produces &amp;((a, b)) after expansion. Clippy flags that
as double_parens, but it is a false positive fixed in Clippy 1.92 [1] [2].

Suppress the warning on the affected doctest function with a reason
attribute so it can be removed once the minimum toolchain moves past 1.92.

[ We may end up deciding to support per-version Clippy lints, in which
  case we will need [3].

  In the future, if [4] gets fixed, we may be able to use
  `Delimiter::None` as Gary suggested in [5].

<title>rust: pin-init: replace shadowed return token by `unsafe`-to-create token</title>

We use a unit struct `__InitOk` in the closure generated by the
initializer macros as the return value. We shadow it by creating a
struct with the same name again inside of the closure, preventing early
returns of `Ok` in the initializer (before all fields have been
initialized).

In the face of Type Alias Impl Trait (TAIT) and the next trait solver,
this solution no longer works [1]. The shadowed struct can be named
through type inference. In addition, there is an RFC proposing to add
the feature of path inference to Rust, which would similarly allow [2].

Thus remove the shadowed token and replace it with an `unsafe` to create
token.

The reason we initially used the shadowing solution was because an
alternative solution used a builder pattern. Gary writes [3]:

    In the early builder-pattern based InitOk, having a single InitOk
    type for token is unsound because one can launder an InitOk token
    used for one place to another initializer. I used a branded lifetime
    solution, and then you figured out that using a shadowed type would
    work better because nobody could construct it at all.

The laundering issue does not apply to the approach we ended up with
today.

With this change, the example by Tim Chirananthavat in [1] no longer
compiles and results in this error:

    error: cannot construct `pin_init::__internal::InitOk` with struct literal syntax due to private fields
      --&gt; src/main.rs:26:17
       |
    26 |                 InferredType {}
       |                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
       |
       = note: private field `0` that was not provided
    help: you might have meant to use the `new` associated function
       |
    26 -                 InferredType {}
    26 +                 InferredType::new()
       |

Applying the suggestion of using the `::new()` function, results in
another expected error:

    error[E0133]: call to unsafe function `pin_init::__internal::InitOk::new` is unsafe and requires unsafe block
      --&gt; src/main.rs:26:17

<title>rust: dma: use pointer projection infra for `dma_{read,write}` macro</title>

<content type='text'>
Current `dma_read!`, `dma_write!` macros also use a custom
`addr_of!()`-based implementation for projecting pointers, which has
soundness issue as it relies on absence of `Deref` implementation on types.
It also has a soundness issue where it does not protect against unaligned
fields (when `#[repr(packed)]` is used) so it can generate misaligned
accesses.

This commit migrates them to use the general pointer projection
infrastructure, which handles these cases correctly.

As part of migration, the macro is updated to have an improved surface
syntax. The current macro have

    dma_read!(a.b.c[d].e.f)

to mean `a.b.c` is a DMA coherent allocation and it should project into it
with `[d].e.f` and do a read, which is confusing as it makes the indexing
operator integral to the macro (so it will break if you have an array of
`CoherentAllocation`, for example).

This also is problematic as we would like to generalize
`CoherentAllocation` from just slices to arbitrary types.

Make the macro expects `dma_read!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma)` as the
canonical syntax. The index operator is no longer special and is just one
type of projection (in additional to field projection). Similarly, make
`dma_write!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma, value)` become the canonical
syntax for writing.

Another issue of the current macro is that it is always fallible. This
makes sense with existing design of `CoherentAllocation`, but once we
support fixed size arrays with `CoherentAllocation`, it is desirable to
have the ability to perform infallible indexing as well, e.g. doing a `[0]`
index of `[Foo; 2]` is okay and can be checked at build-time, so forcing
falliblity is non-ideal. To capture this, the macro is changed to use
`[idx]` as infallible projection and `[idx]?` as fallible index projection
(those syntax are part of the general projection infra). A benefit of this
is that while individual indexing operation may fail, the overall
read/write operation is not fallible.
