To allow the Rust implementation of static_key_false to use runtime code
patching instead of the generic implementation, pull in the relevant
inline assembly from the jump_label.h header by running the C
preprocessor on a .rs.S file. Build rules are added for .rs.S files.
Since the relevant inline asm has been adjusted to export the inline asm
via the ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH_ASM macro in a consistent way, the Rust side
does not need architecture specific code to pull in the asm.
It is not possible to use the existing C implementation of
arch_static_branch via a Rust helper because it passes the argument
`key` to inline assembly as an 'i' parameter. Any attempt to add a C
helper for this function will fail to compile because the value of `key`
must be known at compile-time.

Make it possible to have Rust code call into tracepoints defined by C
code. It is still required that the tracepoint is declared in a C
header, and that this header is included in the input to bindgen.
Instead of calling __DO_TRACE directly, the exported rust_do_trace_
function calls an inline helper function. This is because the `cond`
argument does not exist at the callsite of DEFINE_RUST_DO_TRACE.
__DECLARE_TRACE always emits an inline static and an extern declaration
that is only used when CREATE_RUST_TRACE_POINTS is set. These should not
end up in the final binary so it is not a problem that they sometimes
are emitted without a user.

Add just enough support for static key so that we can use it from
tracepoints. Tracepoints rely on `static_branch_unlikely` with a `struct
static_key_false`, so we add the same functionality to Rust.
This patch only provides a generic implementation without code patching
(matching the one used when CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is disabled). Later
patches add support for inline asm implementations that use runtime
patching.
When CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is unset, `static_key_count` is a static inline
function, so a Rust helper is defined for `static_key_count` in this
case. If Rust is compiled with LTO, this call should get inlined. The
helper can be eliminated once we have the necessary inline asm to make
atomic operations from Rust.

`include/linux/init.h`. This is because `THIS_MODULE` was moved in

`Vec` provides a contiguous growable array type with contents allocated
with the kernel's allocators (e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`).
In contrast to Rust's stdlib `Vec` type, the kernel `Vec` type considers
the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports
allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains
independent from unstable features.
[ This patch starts using a new unstable feature, `inline_const`, but
it was stabilized in Rust 1.79.0, i.e. the next version after the

Refactor the `FromBytes` and `AsBytes` traits from `types.rs` into a new
`transmute.rs` module:
- Add `rust/kernel/transmute.rs` with the definitions of `FromBytes`
and `AsBytes`.
- Remove the same trait definitions from `rust/kernel/types.rs`.
- Update `rust/kernel/uaccess.rs` to import `AsBytes` and `FromBytes`
from `transmute.rs`.
The traits and their implementations remain unchanged.

Provide a `MiscDevice` trait that lets you specify the file operations
that you wish to provide for your misc device. For now, only three file
operations are provided: open, close, ioctl.
These abstractions only support MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR. This enforces that
new miscdevices should not hard-code a minor number.
When implementing ioctl, the Result type is used. This means that you
can choose to return either of:
* An integer of type isize.
* An errno using the kernel::error::Error type.
When returning an isize, the integer is returned verbatim. It's mainly
intended for returning positive integers to userspace. However, it is
technically possible to return errors via the isize return value too.
To avoid having a dependency on files, this patch does not provide the
file operations callbacks a pointer to the file. This means that they
cannot check file properties such as O_NONBLOCK (which Binder needs).
Support for that can be added as a follow-up.
To avoid having a dependency on vma, this patch does not provide any way
to implement mmap (which Binder needs). Support for that can be added as
a follow-up.
Rust Binder will use these abstractions to create the /dev/binder file
when binderfs is disabled.

The lifetime of `PidNamespace` is bound to `Task` and `struct pid`.
The `PidNamespace` of a `Task` doesn't ever change once the `Task` is
alive. A `unshare(CLONE_NEWPID)` or `setns(fd_pidns/pidfd, CLONE_NEWPID)`
will not have an effect on the calling `Task`'s pid namespace. It will
only effect the pid namespace of children created by the calling `Task`.
This invariant guarantees that after having acquired a reference to a
`Task`'s pid namespace it will remain unchanged.
When a task has exited and been reaped `release_task()` will be called.
This will set the `PidNamespace` of the task to `NULL`. So retrieving
the `PidNamespace` of a task that is dead will return `NULL`. Note, that
neither holding the RCU lock nor holding a referencing count to the
`Task` will prevent `release_task()` being called.
In order to retrieve the `PidNamespace` of a `Task` the
`task_active_pid_ns()` function can be used. There are two cases to
consider:
(1) retrieving the `PidNamespace` of the `current` task (2) retrieving
the `PidNamespace` of a non-`current` task
From system call context retrieving the `PidNamespace` for case (1) is
always safe and requires neither RCU locking nor a reference count to be
held. Retrieving the `PidNamespace` after `release_task()` for current
will return `NULL` but no codepath like that is exposed to Rust.
Retrieving the `PidNamespace` from system call context for (2) requires
RCU protection. Accessing `PidNamespace` outside of RCU protection
requires a reference count that must've been acquired while holding the
RCU lock. Note that accessing a non-`current` task means `NULL` can be
returned as the non-`current` task could have already passed through
`release_task()`.
To retrieve (1) the `current_pid_ns!()` macro should be used which
ensure that the returned `PidNamespace` cannot outlive the calling
scope. The associated `current_pid_ns()` function should not be called
directly as it could be abused to created an unbounded lifetime for
`PidNamespace`. The `current_pid_ns!()` macro allows Rust to handle the
common case of accessing `current`'s `PidNamespace` without RCU
protection and without having to acquire a reference count.
For (2) the `task_get_pid_ns()` method must be used. This will always
acquire a reference on `PidNamespace` and will return an `Option` to
force the caller to explicitly handle the case where `PidNamespace` is
`None`, something that tends to be forgotten when doing the equivalent
operation in `C`. Missing RCU primitives make it difficult to perform
operations that are otherwise safe without holding a reference count as
long as RCU protection is guaranteed. But it is not important currently.
But we do want it in the future.
Note for (2) the required RCU protection around calling
`task_active_pid_ns()` synchronizes against putting the last reference
of the associated `struct pid` of `task->thread_pid`. The `struct pid`
stored in that field is used to retrieve the `PidNamespace` of the
caller. When `release_task()` is called `task->thread_pid` will be
`NULL`ed and `put_pid()` on said `struct pid` will be delayed in
`free_pid()` via `call_rcu()` allowing everyone with an RCU protected
access to the `struct pid` acquired from `task->thread_pid` to finish.

This adds a simple seq file abstraction that lets you print to a seq
file using ordinary Rust printing syntax.
An example user from Rust Binder:
pub(crate) fn full_debug_print(
&self,
m: &SeqFile,
owner_inner: &mut ProcessInner,
) -> Result<()> {
let prio = self.node_prio();
let inner = self.inner.access_mut(owner_inner);
seq_print!(
m,
" node {}: u{:016x} c{:016x} pri {}:{} hs {} hw {} cs {} cw {}",
self.debug_id,
self.ptr,
self.cookie,
prio.sched_policy,
prio.prio,
inner.strong.has_count,
inner.weak.has_count,
inner.strong.count,
inner.weak.count,
);
if !inner.refs.is_empty() {
seq_print!(m, " proc");
for node_ref in &inner.refs {
seq_print!(m, " {}", node_ref.process.task.pid());
}
}
seq_print!(m, "\n");
for t in &inner.oneway_todo {
t.debug_print_inner(m, " pending async transaction ");
}
Ok(())
}
The `SeqFile` type is marked not thread safe so that `call_printf` can
be a `&self` method. The alternative is to use `self: Pin<&mut Self>`
which is inconvenient, or to have `SeqFile` wrap a pointer instead of
wrapping the C struct directly.

The term "receiver" means that a type can be used as the type of `self`,
and thus enables method call syntax `foo.bar()` instead of
`Foo::bar(foo)`. Stable Rust as of today (1.81) enables a limited
selection of types (primitives and types in std, e.g. `Box` and `Arc`)
to be used as receivers, while custom types cannot.
We want the kernel `Arc` type to have the same functionality as the Rust
std `Arc`, so we use the `Receiver` trait (gated behind `receiver_trait`
unstable feature) to gain the functionality.
The `arbitrary_self_types` RFC [1] (tracking issue [2]) is accepted and
it will allow all types that implement a new `Receiver` trait (different
from today's unstable trait) to be used as receivers. This trait will be
automatically implemented for all `Deref` types, which include our `Arc`
type, so we no longer have to opt-in to be used as receiver. To prepare
us for the change, remove the `Receiver` implementation and the
associated feature. To still allow `Arc` and others to be used as method
receivers, turn on `arbitrary_self_types` feature instead.
This feature gate is introduced in 1.23.0. It used to enable both
`Deref` types and raw pointer types to be used as receivers, but the
latter is now split into a different feature gate in Rust 1.83 nightly.
We do not need receivers on raw pointers so this change would not affect
us and usage of `arbitrary_self_types` feature would work for all Rust
versions that we support (>=1.78).

In Rust, it is possible to `allow` particular warnings (diagnostics,
lints) locally, making the compiler ignore instances of a given warning
within a given function, module, block, etc.
It is similar to `#pragma GCC diagnostic push` + `ignored` + `pop` in C:
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
static void f(void) {}
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
But way less verbose:
#[allow(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more
diagnostics by default (i.e. outside `W=` levels) that may have some
false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to
catch potential mistakes.
The `#[expect(...)]` attribute [1] takes this further, and makes the
compiler warn if the diagnostic was _not_ produced. For instance, the
following will ensure that, when `f()` is called somewhere, we will have
to remove the attribute:
#[expect(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
If we do not, we get a warning from the compiler:
warning: this lint expectation is unfulfilled
--> x.rs:3:10
|
3 | #[expect(dead_code)]
| ^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unfulfilled_lint_expectations)]` on by default
This means that `expect`s do not get forgotten when they are not needed.
See the next commit for more details, nuances on its usage and
documentation on the feature.
The attribute requires the `lint_reasons` [2] unstable feature, but it
is becoming stable in 1.81.0 (to be released on 2024-09-05) and it has
already been useful to clean things up in this patch series, finding
cases where the `allow`s should not have been there.
Thus, enable `lint_reasons` and convert some of our `allow`s to `expect`s
where possible.
This feature was also an example of the ongoing collaboration between

Add an abstraction for viewing the string representation of a security
context.
This is needed by Rust Binder because it has a feature where a process
can view the string representation of the security context for incoming
transactions. The process can use that to authenticate incoming
transactions, and since the feature is provided by the kernel, the
process can trust that the security context is legitimate.
This abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side:
* When a call to `security_secid_to_secctx` is successful, it returns a
pointer and length. The pointer references a byte string and is valid
for reading for that many bytes.
* The string may be referenced until `security_release_secctx` is
called.
* If CONFIG_SECURITY is set, then the three methods mentioned in
rust/helpers are available without a helper. (That is, they are not a
#define or `static inline`.)

Add a wrapper around `struct cred` called `Credential`, and provide
functionality to get the `Credential` associated with a `File`.
Rust Binder must check the credentials of processes when they attempt to
perform various operations, and these checks usually take a
`&Credential` as parameter. The security_binder_set_context_mgr function
would be one example. This patch is necessary to access these security_*
methods from Rust.
This Rust abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side:
* `struct cred` is refcounted with `get_cred`/`put_cred`.
* It's okay to transfer a `struct cred` across threads, that is, you do
not need to call `put_cred` on the same thread as where you called
`get_cred`.
* The `euid` field of a `struct cred` never changes after
initialization.
* The `f_cred` field of a `struct file` never changes after
initialization.

This abstraction makes it possible to manipulate the open files for a
process. The new `File` struct wraps the C `struct file`. When accessing
it using the smart pointer `ARef<File>`, the pointer will own a
reference count to the file. When accessing it as `&File`, then the
reference does not own a refcount, but the borrow checker will ensure
that the reference count does not hit zero while the `&File` is live.
Since this is intended to manipulate the open files of a process, we
introduce an `fget` constructor that corresponds to the C `fget`
method. In future patches, it will become possible to create a new fd in
a process and bind it to a `File`. Rust Binder will use these to send
fds from one process to another.
We also provide a method for accessing the file's flags. Rust Binder
will use this to access the flags of the Binder fd to check whether the
non-blocking flag is set, which affects what the Binder ioctl does.
This introduces a struct for the EBADF error type, rather than just
using the Error type directly. This has two advantages:
* `File::fget` returns a `Result<ARef<File>, BadFdError>`, which the
compiler will represent as a single pointer, with null being an error.
This is possible because the compiler understands that `BadFdError`
has only one possible value, and it also understands that the
`ARef<File>` smart pointer is guaranteed non-null.
* Additionally, we promise to users of the method that the method can
only fail with EBADF, which means that they can rely on this promise
without having to inspect its implementation.
That said, there are also two disadvantages:
* Defining additional error types involves boilerplate.
* The question mark operator will only utilize the `From` trait once,
which prevents you from using the question mark operator on
`BadFdError` in methods that return some third error type that the
kernel `Error` is convertible into. (However, it works fine in methods
that return `Error`.)

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support 'MITIGATION_{RETHUNK,RETPOLINE,SLS}' (which cleans up
objtool warnings), teach objtool about 'noreturn' Rust symbols and
mimic '___ADDRESSABLE()' for 'module_{init,exit}'. With that, we
should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
object files.
- KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.
- Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
change.
- Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
machinery for that.
- Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
the RANDSTRUCT plugin.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.
This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
heterogeneous lists.
- New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
upcoming Rust Binder.
This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
(bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.
- 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.
- 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
introducing an associated type in the trait.
- 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.
- 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
'Pin<Box<T>>' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.
- 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
those.
Documentation:
- https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.
- Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.
- Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
the freeze period), so add it to the list.

The rust rbtree exposes a map-like interface over keys and values,
backed by the kernel red-black tree implementation. Values can be
inserted, deleted, and retrieved from a `RBTree` by key.
This base abstraction is used by binder to store key/value
pairs and perform lookups, for example the patch

The `ListArc` type can be thought of as a special reference to a
refcounted object that owns the permission to manipulate the
`next`/`prev` pointers stored in the refcounted object. By ensuring that
each object has only one `ListArc` reference, the owner of that
reference is assured exclusive access to the `next`/`prev` pointers.
When a `ListArc` is inserted into a `List`, the `List` takes ownership
of the `ListArc` reference.
There are various strategies for ensuring that a value has only one
`ListArc` reference. The simplest is to convert a `UniqueArc` into a
`ListArc`. However, the refcounted object could also keep track of
whether a `ListArc` exists using a boolean, which could allow for the
creation of new `ListArc` references from an `Arc` reference. Whatever
strategy is used, the relevant tracking is referred to as "the tracking
inside `T`", and the `ListArcSafe` trait (and its subtraits) are used to
update the tracking when a `ListArc` is created or destroyed.
Note that we allow the case where the tracking inside `T` thinks that a
`ListArc` exists, but actually, there isn't a `ListArc`. However, we do
not allow the opposite situation where a `ListArc` exists, but the
tracking thinks it doesn't. This is because the former can at most
result in us failing to create a `ListArc` when the operation could
succeed, whereas the latter can result in the creation of two `ListArc`
references. Only the latter situation can lead to memory safety issues.
This patch introduces the `impl_list_arc_safe!` macro that allows you to
implement `ListArcSafe` for types using the strategy where a `ListArc`
can only be created from a `UniqueArc`. Other strategies are introduced
in later patches.
This is part of the linked list that Rust Binder will use for many
different things. The strategy where a `ListArc` can only be created
from a `UniqueArc` is actually sufficient for most of the objects that
Rust Binder needs to insert into linked lists. Usually, these are todo
items that are created and then immediately inserted into a queue.
The const generic ID allows objects to have several prev/next pointer
pairs so that the same object can be inserted into several different
lists. You are able to have several `ListArc` references as long as they
correspond to different pointer pairs. The ID itself is purely a
compile-time concept and will not be present in the final binary. Both
the `List` and the `ListArc` will need to agree on the ID for them to
work together. Rust Binder uses this in a few places (e.g. death
recipients) where the same object can be inserted into both generic todo
lists and some other lists for tracking the status of the object.
The ID is a const generic rather than a type parameter because the
`pair_from_unique` method needs to be able to assert that the two ids
are different. There's no easy way to assert that when using types
instead of integers.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.
The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
plus beta, plus nightly.
This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.
Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
compiler versions should generally work.
In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].
I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support several Rust toolchain versions.
- Support several bindgen versions.
- Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to
'alloc' having been dropped last cycle.
- Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.
- Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.
- Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!'
macro.
'macros' crate:
- Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.
- Improve 'module!' macro documentation.

- Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.
- Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.

others can start their work.
There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of

This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for

Adds a new struct called `Page` that wraps a pointer to `struct page`.
This struct is assumed to hold ownership over the page, so that Rust
code can allocate and manage pages directly.
The page type has various methods for reading and writing into the page.
These methods will temporarily map the page to allow the operation. All
of these methods use a helper that takes an offset and length, performs
bounds checks, and returns a pointer to the given offset in the page.
This patch only adds support for pages of order zero, as that is all
Rust Binder needs. However, it is written to make it easy to add support
for higher-order pages in the future. To do that, you would add a const
generic parameter to `Page` that specifies the order. Most of the
methods do not need to be adjusted, as the logic for dealing with
mapping multiple pages at once can be isolated to just the
`with_pointer_into_page` method.
Rust Binder needs to manage pages directly as that is how transactions
are delivered: Each process has an mmap'd region for incoming
transactions. When an incoming transaction arrives, the Binder driver
will choose a region in the mmap, allocate and map the relevant pages
manually, and copy the incoming transaction directly into the page. This
architecture allows the driver to copy transactions directly from the
address space of one process to another, without an intermediate copy
to a kernel buffer.
This code is based on Wedson's page abstractions from the old rust
branch, but it has been modified by Alice by removing the incomplete
support for higher-order pages, by introducing the `with_*` helpers
to consolidate the bounds checking logic into a single place, and
various other changes.

A pointer to an area in userspace memory, which can be either read-only
or read-write.
All methods on this struct are safe: attempting to read or write on bad
addresses (either out of the bound of the slice or unmapped addresses)
will return `EFAULT`. Concurrent access, *including data races to/from
userspace memory*, is permitted, because fundamentally another userspace
thread/process could always be modifying memory at the same time (in the
same way that userspace Rust's `std::io` permits data races with the
contents of files on disk). In the presence of a race, the exact byte
values read/written are unspecified but the operation is well-defined.
Kernelspace code should validate its copy of data after completing a
read, and not expect that multiple reads of the same address will return
the same value.
These APIs are designed to make it difficult to accidentally write
