rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2 This is the first upgrade to the Rust toolchain since the initial Rust merge, from 1.62.0 to 1.68.2 (i.e. the latest). # Context The kernel currently supports only a single Rust version [1] (rather than a minimum) given our usage of some "unstable" Rust features [2] which do not promise backwards compatibility. The goal is to reach a point where we can declare a minimum version for the toolchain. For instance, by waiting for some of the features to be stabilized. Therefore, the first minimum Rust version that the kernel will support is "in the future". # Upgrade policy Given we will eventually need to reach that minimum version, it would be ideal to upgrade the compiler from time to time to be as close as possible to that goal and find any issues sooner. In the extreme, we could upgrade as soon as a new Rust release is out. Of course, upgrading so often is in stark contrast to what one normally would need for GCC and LLVM, especially given the release schedule: 6 weeks for Rust vs. half a year for LLVM and a year for GCC. Having said that, there is no particular advantage to updating slowly either: kernel developers in "stable" distributions are unlikely to be able to use their distribution-provided Rust toolchain for the kernel anyway [3]. Instead, by routinely upgrading to the latest instead, kernel developers using Linux distributions that track the latest Rust release may be able to use those rather than Rust-provided ones, especially if their package manager allows to pin / hold back / downgrade the version for some days during windows where the version may not match. For instance, Arch, Fedora, Gentoo and openSUSE all provide and track the latest version of Rust as they get released every 6 weeks. Then, when the minimum version is reached, we will stop upgrading and decide how wide the window of support will be. For instance, a year of Rust versions. We will probably want to start small, and then widen it over time, just like the kernel did originally for LLVM, see commit 3519c4d6e08e ("Documentation: add minimum clang/llvm version"). # Unstable features stabilized This upgrade allows us to remove the following unstable features since they were stabilized: - feature(explicit_generic_args_with_impl_trait) (1.63). - feature(core_ffi_c) (1.64). - feature(generic_associated_types) (1.65). - feature(const_ptr_offset_from) (1.65, *). - feature(bench_black_box) (1.66, *). - feature(pin_macro) (1.68). The ones marked with * apply only to our old rust branch, not mainline yet, i.e. only for code that we may potentially upstream. With this patch applied, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside the kernel crate is new_uninit, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [2] for details. # Other required changes Since 1.63, rustdoc triggers the broken_intra_doc_links lint for links pointing to exported (#[macro_export]) macro_rules. An issue was opened upstream [4], but it turns out it is intended behavior. For the moment, just add an explicit reference for each link. Later we can revisit this if rustdoc removes the compatibility measure. Nevertheless, this was helpful to discover a link that was pointing to the wrong place unintentionally. Since that one was actually wrong, it is fixed in a previous commit independently. Another change was the addition of cfg(no_rc) and cfg(no_sync) in upstream [5], thus remove our original changes for that. Similarly, upstream now tests that it compiles successfully with #[cfg(not(no_global_oom_handling))] [6], which allow us to get rid of some changes, such as an #[allow(dead_code)]. In addition, remove another #[allow(dead_code)] due to new uses within the standard library. Finally, add try_extend_trusted and move the code in spec_extend.rs since upstream moved it for the infallible version. # alloc upgrade and reviewing There are a large amount of changes, but the vast majority of them are due to our alloc fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream alloc and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of alloc we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the new.patch to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

rust: upgrade to Rust 1.71.1 This is the second upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.68.2 to 1.71.1 (i.e. the latest). See the upgrade policy [1] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized. Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside the kernel crate is still new_uninit, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [2] for details. # Required changes For the upgrade, this patch requires the following changes: - Removal of the __rust_* allocator functions, together with the addition of the __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable static. See [3] for details. - Some more compiler builtins added due to <f{32,64}>::midpoint() that got added in Rust 1.71 [4]. # alloc upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our alloc fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream alloc and the kernel's.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of alloc we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the new.patch to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach).

alloc
These source files come from the Rust standard library, hosted in the https://github.com/rust-lang/rust repository, licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT" and adapted for kernel use. For copyright details, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/COPYRIGHT.
Please note that these files should be kept as close as possible to upstream. In general, only additions should be performed (e.g. new methods). Eventually, changes should make it into upstream so that, at some point, this fork can be dropped from the kernel tree.
The Rust upstream version on top of which these files are based matches
the output of scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc.
Rationale
On one hand, kernel folks wanted to keep alloc in-tree to have more
freedom in both workflow and actual features if actually needed
(e.g. receiver types if we ended up using them), which is reasonable.
On the other hand, Rust folks wanted to keep alloc as close as
upstream as possible and avoid as much divergence as possible, which
is also reasonable.
We agreed on a middle-ground: we would keep a subset of alloc
in-tree that would be as small and as close as possible to upstream.
Then, upstream can start adding the functions that we add to alloc
etc., until we reach a point where the kernel already knows exactly
what it needs in alloc and all the new methods are merged into
upstream, so that we can drop alloc from the kernel tree and go back
to using the upstream one.
By doing this, the kernel can go a bit faster now, and Rust can slowly incorporate and discuss the changes as needed.
