From&lt;bool&gt; turns true into 1. A signed Bounded with N = 1 can hold
only -1 and 0. The current implementation can therefore create a value
that breaks Bounded's invariant. Deref relies on that invariant and
calls unreachable_unchecked() when it is broken, so safe Rust can reach
undefined behavior.

The other primitive conversions require the source and destination to
have the same signedness. Treat bool as an unsigned one-bit value and
allow conversions between bool and Bounded only when the backing integer
type is unsigned.

<title>rust: add functions and traits for lossless integer conversions</title>

The core library's `From` implementations do not cover conversions that
are not portable or future-proof. For instance, even though it is safe
today, `From&lt;usize&gt;` is not implemented for `u64` because of the
possibility of supporting larger-than-64bit architectures in the future.

However, the kernel supports a narrower set of architectures, with a
considerable amount of code that is architecture-specific. This makes it
helpful and desirable to provide more infallible conversions, lest we
rely on the `as` keyword and carry the risk of silently losing data.

Thus, introduce a new module `num::casts` that provides safe const
functions performing more conversions allowed by the build target, as
well as `FromSafeCast` and `IntoSafeCast` traits that are just
extensions of `From` and `Into` to conversions that are known to be
lossless.

Some conversions are architecture-specific: for instance, converting a
`u64` to a `usize` is only lossless on 64-bit platforms. These
conversions are made available via a dedicated `arch` sub-module.

Add `shr_exact` in the vein of `try_shrink` which shifts a bounded right
only if it loses no set bits. This is useful for getting a shifted down
integer while simultaneously checking that it's aligned.

Make `shr` reject shifts of at least the type's bit width at build
time, instead of panicking or masking the shift amount at runtime.

[ This implies we can break the type invariant, which in turn means
  we can trigger UB via `Deref`, e.g.:

<title>rust: make `build_assert` module the home of related macros</title>

Given the macro scoping rules, all macros are rendered twice, in the
module and in the top-level of kernel crate.

Add `#[doc(hidden)]` to the macro definition and `#[doc(inline)]` to the
re-export inside `build_assert` module so the top-level items are hidden.

[ Sadly, because the definition is hidden, `rustdoc` decides to not list
  them as re-exports in the `prelude` page anymore, even if we refer to
  the not-actually-hidden item.

<id>4793dae01f47754e288cdbb3a22581cac2317f2b</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "debugfs:
   - Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str()
   - Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str()
   - Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized
     firmware_file

  device property:
   - Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to
     unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors
   - Document how to check for the property presence

  devres:
   - Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres,
     struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and
     free callbacks for per-type dispatch
   - Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the
     ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres
   - Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo
     primitives for use by Rust Devres&lt;T&gt;
   - Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc()
   - Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock
     paths in devres_release_group()

  driver_override:
   - Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the
     generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus
     driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes a
     potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in bus
     match() callbacks
   - Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic

  kernfs:
   - Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs file
     and directory removal
   - Add corresponding selftests for memcg

  platform:
   - Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via a
     new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info
   - Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info

  software node:
   - Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to
     driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process
   - Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support
     the above
   - Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit

  SoC:
   - Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model()
     OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct
     accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables
     CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers

  sysfs:
   - Constify attribute group array pointers to
     'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions,
     device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class

  Rust:
   - Devres:
      - Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres&lt;T&gt; instead of going
        through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and the
        unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment

   - I/O:
      - Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait
        carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read /
        io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io
        methods
      - Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable in
        code generic over the Io trait
      - Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros
        from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace

   - I/O (Register):
      - Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io
        trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations
      - Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with
        typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports
        direct, relative, and array register addressing
      - Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait
      - Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro

         Example:

         ```
             register! {
                 /// UART control register.
                 CTRL(u32) @ 0x18 {
                     /// Receiver enable.
                     19:19   rx_enable =&gt; bool;
                     /// Parity configuration.
                     14:13   parity ?=&gt; Parity;
                 }

                 /// FIFO watermark and counter register.
                 WATER(u32) @ 0x2c {
                     /// Number of datawords in the receive FIFO.
                     26:24   rx_count;
                     /// RX interrupt threshold.
                     17:16   rx_water;
                 }
             }

             impl WATER {
                 fn rx_above_watermark(&amp;self) -&gt; bool {

                 let water = WATER::zeroed()
                     .with_const_rx_water::&lt;1&gt;(); // &gt; 3 would not compile

  Misc:
   - Make deferred_probe_timeout default a Kconfig option
   - Drop auxiliary_dev_pm_ops; the PM core falls back to driver PM
     callbacks when no bus type PM ops are set
   - Add conditional guard support for device_lock()
   - Add ksysfs.c to the DRIVER CORE MAINTAINERS entry
   - Fix kernel-doc warnings in base.h
   - Fix stale reference to memory_block_add_nid() in documentation"

Pull driver core updates from Danilo Krummrich:
 "debugfs:
   - Fix NULL pointer dereference in debugfs_create_str()
   - Fix misplaced EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for debugfs_create_str()
   - Fix soundwire debugfs NULL pointer dereference from uninitialized
     firmware_file

  device property:
   - Make fwnode flags modifications thread safe; widen the field to
     unsigned long and use set_bit() / clear_bit() based accessors
   - Document how to check for the property presence

  devres:
   - Separate struct devres_node from its "subclasses" (struct devres,
     struct devres_group); give struct devres_node its own release and
     free callbacks for per-type dispatch
   - Introduce struct devres_action for devres actions, avoiding the
     ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment overhead of struct devres
   - Export struct devres_node and its init/add/remove/dbginfo
     primitives for use by Rust Devres&lt;T&gt;
   - Fix missing node debug info in devm_krealloc()
   - Use guard(spinlock_irqsave) where applicable; consolidate unlock
     paths in devres_release_group()

  driver_override:
   - Convert PCI, WMI, vdpa, s390/cio, s390/ap, and fsl-mc to the
     generic driver_override infrastructure, replacing per-bus
     driver_override strings, sysfs attributes, and match logic; fixes a
     potential UAF from unsynchronized access to driver_override in bus
     match() callbacks
   - Simplify __device_set_driver_override() logic

  kernfs:
   - Send IN_DELETE_SELF and IN_IGNORED inotify events on kernfs file
     and directory removal
   - Add corresponding selftests for memcg

  platform:
   - Allow attaching software nodes when creating platform devices via a
     new 'swnode' field in struct platform_device_info
   - Add kerneldoc for struct platform_device_info

  software node:
   - Move software node initialization from postcore_initcall() to
     driver_init(), making it available early in the boot process
   - Move kernel_kobj initialization (ksysfs_init) earlier to support
     the above
   - Remove software_node_exit(); dead code in a built-in unit

  SoC:
   - Introduce of_machine_read_compatible() and of_machine_read_model()
     OF helpers and export soc_attr_read_machine() to replace direct
     accesses to of_root from SoC drivers; also enables
     CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST coverage for these drivers

  sysfs:
   - Constify attribute group array pointers to
     'const struct attribute_group *const *' in sysfs functions,
     device_add_groups() / device_remove_groups(), and struct class

  Rust:
   - Devres:
      - Embed struct devres_node directly in Devres&lt;T&gt; instead of going
        through devm_add_action(), avoiding the extra allocation and the
        unnecessary ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN alignment

   - I/O:
      - Turn IoCapable from a marker trait into a functional trait
        carrying the raw I/O accessor implementation (io_read /
        io_write), providing working defaults for the per-type Io
        methods
      - Add RelaxedMmio wrapper type, making relaxed accessors usable in
        code generic over the Io trait
      - Remove overloaded per-type Io methods and per-backend macros
        from Mmio and PCI ConfigSpace

   - I/O (Register):
      - Add IoLoc trait and generic read/write/update methods to the Io
        trait, making I/O operations parameterizable by typed locations
      - Add register! macro for defining hardware register types with
        typed bitfield accessors backed by Bounded values; supports
        direct, relative, and array register addressing
      - Add write_reg() / try_write_reg() and LocatedRegister trait
      - Update PCI sample driver to demonstrate the register! macro

         Example:

         ```
             register! {
                 /// UART control register.
                 CTRL(u32) @ 0x18 {
                     /// Receiver enable.
                     19:19   rx_enable =&gt; bool;
                     /// Parity configuration.
                     14:13   parity ?=&gt; Parity;
                 }

                 /// FIFO watermark and counter register.
                 WATER(u32) @ 0x2c {
                     /// Number of datawords in the receive FIFO.
                     26:24   rx_count;
                     /// RX interrupt threshold.
                     17:16   rx_water;
                 }
             }

             impl WATER {
                 fn rx_above_watermark(&amp;self) -&gt; bool {
                     self.rx_count() &gt; self.rx_water()
                 }
             }

             fn init(bar: &amp;pci::Bar&lt;BAR0_SIZE&gt;) {
                 let water = WATER::zeroed()
                     .with_const_rx_water::&lt;1&gt;(); // &gt; 3 would not compile
                 bar.write_reg(water);

                 let ctrl = CTRL::zeroed()
                     .with_parity(Parity::Even)
                     .with_rx_enable(true);
                 bar.write_reg(ctrl);
             }

             fn handle_rx(bar: &amp;pci::Bar&lt;BAR0_SIZE&gt;) {
                 if bar.read(WATER).rx_above_watermark() {
                     // drain the FIFO
                 }
             }

             fn set_parity(bar: &amp;pci::Bar&lt;BAR0_SIZE&gt;, parity: Parity) {
                 bar.update(CTRL, |r| r.with_parity(parity));

<title>rust: add `const_assert!` macro</title>

<id>560a7a9b9267fbe31a68270ca0ad22b6a4db44a5</id>
<content type='text'>
The macro is a more powerful version of `static_assert!` for use inside
function contexts. This is powered by inline consts, so enable the feature
for old compiler versions that does not have it stably.

While it is possible already to write `const { assert!(...) }`, this
provides a short hand that is more uniform with other assertions. It also
formats nicer with rustfmt where it will not be formatted into multiple
lines.

Two users that would route via the Rust tree are converted.

There is a need to access the inner value of a `Bounded` in const
context, notably for bitfields and registers. Remove the invariant check
of `Bounded::get`, which allows us to make it const.

Single-bit numbers are typically treated as booleans. There is an
`Into&lt;bool&gt;` implementation for those, but invoking it from contexts
that lack type expectations is not always convenient.

Add an `into_bool` method as a simpler shortcut.
