Merge tag 'rust-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:

- Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).

As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are
going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum
versions.

Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
kernel developers to upgrade.

Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high
enough as well, including:

+ Arch Linux.
+ Fedora Linux.
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ Nix.
+ openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
+ Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
their versioned packages.

The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both
bumps, as well as documentation updates.

In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status'
enum used in Binder.

Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1]

- Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
inlines C helpers into Rust.

Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
helpers, i.e. very local and fast.

It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major
version, 'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled
for two architectures for now.

The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
different users have tested. For instance, for the null block
driver, it amounts to a 2%.

- Support global per-version flags.

While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler
version, i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to
e.g. tweak the lints set per version.

Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
since it had a change in behavior.

- Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder,
which wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.

- Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
previous cycle).

'kernel' crate:

- Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
implementation bodies, e.g.:

fn f<const N: usize>() {
const_assert!(N > 1);
}

fn g<T>() {
const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
}

In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
module.

Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are
different from one another and how to pick the right one to use,
and their equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra
clarity.

- 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.

This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
device address spaces where the address width depends on the
hardware (e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.),
e.g.:

let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;

- 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus
simplify the users in Tyr and PWM.

- 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.

- 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').

- Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such
use in the 'task' module.

- 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
instances and finally remove the re-exports.

- 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
including runtime-tested examples.

The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a
case of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.

Timekeeping:

- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.

- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.

- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.

'pin-init' crate:

- Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.

- Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.

- Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
tuples.

- Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.

rust-analyzer:

- Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.

- Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').

- Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host
and target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.

And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements"

Merge tag 'rust-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:

- Add support for 'syn'.

Syn is a parsing library for parsing a stream of Rust tokens into a
syntax tree of Rust source code.

Currently this library is geared toward use in Rust procedural
macros, but contains some APIs that may be useful more generally.

'syn' allows us to greatly simplify writing complex macros such as
'pin-init' (Benno has already prepared the 'syn'-based version). We
will use it in the 'macros' crate too.

'syn' is the most downloaded Rust crate (according to crates.io),
and it is also used by the Rust compiler itself. While the amount
of code is substantial, there should not be many updates needed for
these crates, and even if there are, they should not be too big,
e.g. +7k -3k lines across the 3 crates in the last year.

'syn' requires two smaller dependencies: 'quote' and 'proc-macro2'.
I only modified their code to remove a third dependency
('unicode-ident') and to add the SPDX identifiers. The code can be
easily verified to exactly match upstream with the provided
scripts.

They are all licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", like the other
vendored 'alloc' crate we had for a while.

Please see the merge commit with the cover letter for more context.

- Allow 'unreachable_pub' and 'clippy::disallowed_names' for
doctests.

Examples (i.e. doctests) may want to do things like show public
items and use names such as 'foo'.

Nevertheless, we still try to keep examples as close to real code
as possible (this is part of why running Clippy on doctests is
important for us, e.g. for safety comments, which userspace Rust
does not support yet but we are stricter).

'kernel' crate:

- Replace our custom 'CStr' type with 'core::ffi::CStr'.

Using the standard library type reduces our custom code footprint,
and we retain needed custom functionality through an extension
trait and a new 'fmt!' macro which replaces the previous 'core'
import.

This started in 6.17 and continued in 6.18, and we finally land the
replacement now. This required quite some stamina from Tamir, who
split the changes in steps to prepare for the flag day change here.

- Replace 'kernel::c_str!' with C string literals.

C string literals were added in Rust 1.77, which produce '&CStr's
(the 'core' one), so now we can write:

c"hi"

instead of:

c_str!("hi")

- Add 'num' module for numerical features.

It includes the 'Integer' trait, implemented for all primitive
integer types.

It also includes the 'Bounded' integer wrapping type: an integer
value that requires only the 'N' least significant bits of the
wrapped type to be encoded:

// An unsigned 8-bit integer, of which only the 4 LSBs are used.
let v = Bounded::<u8, 4>::new::<15>();
assert_eq!(v.get(), 15);

'Bounded' is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with
bitfields that have an arbitrary number of bits.

Values can also be constructed from simple non-constant expressions
or, for more complex ones, validated at runtime.

'Bounded' also comes with comparison and arithmetic operations
(with both their backing type and other 'Bounded's with a
compatible backing type), casts to change the backing type,
extending/shrinking and infallible/fallible conversions from/to
primitives as applicable.

- 'rbtree' module: add immutable cursor ('Cursor').

It enables to use just an immutable tree reference where
appropriate. The existing fully-featured mutable cursor is renamed
to 'CursorMut'.

kallsyms:

- Fix wrong "big" kernel symbol type read from procfs.

'pin-init' crate:

- A couple minor fixes (Benno asked me to pick these patches up for
him this cycle).

Documentation:

- Quick Start guide: add Debian 13 (Trixie).

Debian Stable is now able to build Linux, since Debian 13 (released
2025-08-09) packages Rust 1.85.0, which is recent enough.

We are planning to propose that the minimum supported Rust version
in Linux follows Debian Stable releases, with Debian 13 being the
first one we upgrade to, i.e. Rust 1.85.

MAINTAINERS:

- Add entry for the new 'num' module.

- Remove Alex as Rust maintainer: he hasn't had the time to
contribute for a few years now, so it is a no-op change in
practice.

And a few other cleanups and improvements"
