[ Upstream commit 7044dcff8301b29269016ebd17df27c4736140d2 ]

The `module!` macro creates glue code that are called by C to initialize
the Rust modules using the `Module::init` function. Part of this glue
code are the local functions `__init` and `__exit` that are used to
initialize/destroy the Rust module.

These functions are safe and also visible to the Rust mod in which the
`module!` macro is invoked. This means that they can be called by other
safe Rust code. But since they contain `unsafe` blocks that rely on only
being called at the right time, this is a soundness issue.

Wrap these generated functions inside of two private modules, this
guarantees that the public functions cannot be called from the outside.
Make the safe functions `unsafe` and add SAFETY comments.

<title>rust: module: place generated init_module() function in .init.text</title>

[ Upstream commit 1b6170ff7a203a5e8354f19b7839fe8b897a9c0d ]

Currently Rust kernel modules have their init code placed in the `.text`
section of the .ko file. I don't think this causes any real problems
for Rust modules as long as all code called during initialization lives
in `.text`.

However, if a Rust `init_module()` function (that lives in `.text`)
calls a function marked with `__init` (in C) or
`#[link_section = ".init.text"]` (in Rust), then a warning is
generated by modpost because that function lives in `.init.text`.
For example:

WARNING: modpost: fs/bcachefs/bcachefs: section mismatch in reference: init_module+0x6 (section: .text) -&gt; _RNvXCsj7d3tFpT5JS_15bcachefs_moduleNtB2_8BcachefsNtCsjDtqRIL3JAG_6kernel6Module4init (section: .init.text)

I ran into this while experimenting with converting the bcachefs kernel
module from C to Rust. The module's `init()`, written in Rust, calls C
functions like `bch2_vfs_init()` which are placed in `.init.text`.

This patch places the macro-generated `init_module()` Rust function in
the `.init.text` section. It also marks `init_module()` as unsafe--now
it may not be called after module initialization completes because it
may be freed already.

Note that this is not enough on its own to actually get all the module
initialization code in that section. The module author must still add
the `#[link_section = ".init.text"]` attribute to the Rust `init()` in
the `impl kernel::Module` block in order to then call `__init`
functions. However, this patch enables module authors do so, when
previously it would not be possible (without warnings).

<title>kbuild: rust: remove unneeded `@rustc_cfg` to avoid ICE</title>

commit 50cfe93b01475ba36878b65d35d812e1bb48ac71 upstream.

When KUnit tests are enabled, under very big kernel configurations
(e.g. `allyesconfig`), we can trigger a `rustdoc` ICE [1]:

      RUSTDOC TK rust/kernel/lib.rs
    error: the compiler unexpectedly panicked. this is a bug.

The reason is that this build step has a duplicated `@rustc_cfg` argument,
which contains the kernel configuration, and thus a lot of arguments. The
factor 2 happens to be enough to reach the ICE.

Thus remove the unneeded `@rustc_cfg`. By doing so, we clean up the
command and workaround the ICE.

The ICE has been fixed in the upcoming Rust 1.79 [2].

commit 49ceae68a0df9a92617a61e9ce8a0efcf6419585 upstream.

In Rust, producing an invalid value of any type is immediate undefined
behavior (UB); this includes via zeroing memory.  Therefore, since an
uninhabited type has no valid values, producing any values at all for it is
UB.

The Rust standard library type `core::convert::Infallible` is uninhabited,
by virtue of having been declared as an enum with no cases, which always
produces uninhabited types in Rust.

The current kernel code allows this UB to be triggered, for example by code
like `Box::&lt;core::convert::Infallible&gt;::init(kernel::init::zeroed())`.

Thus, remove the implementation of `Zeroable` for `Infallible`, thereby
avoiding the unsoundness (potential for future UB).

commit 323617f649c0966ad5e741e47e27e06d3a680d8f upstream.

The thread that calls the module initialisation code when a module is
loaded is not guaranteed [in fact, it is unlikely] to be the same one
that calls the module cleanup code on module unload, therefore, `Module`
implementations must be `Send` to account for them moving from one
thread to another implicitly.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Another routine one in terms of features. In terms of lines, this time
  the 'alloc' version upgrade is less prominent, given that it was
  fairly small (and we did not have two upgrades)

  Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Upgrade to Rust 1.74.1

     The patch release includes a fix for an ICE that the Apple AGX GPU
     driver was hitting

   - Support 'srctree'-relative links in Rust code documentation

   - Automate part of the manual constants handling (i.e. the ones not
     recognised by 'bindgen')

   - Suppress searching builtin sysroot to avoid confusion with
     installed sysroots, needed for the to-be-merged arm64 support which
     uses a builtin target

   - Ignore '__preserve_most' functions for 'bindgen'

   - Reduce header inclusion bloat in exports

  'kernel' crate:

   - Implement 'Debug' for 'CString'

   - Make 'CondVar::wait()' an uninterruptible wait

  'macros' crate:

   - Update 'paste!' to accept string literals

   - Improve '#[vtable]' documentation

  Documentation:

   - Add testing section (KUnit and 'rusttest' target)

   - Remove 'CC=clang' mentions

   - Clarify that 'rustup override' applies to build directory"

Some of our links use relative paths in order to point to files in the
source tree, e.g.:

    //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](../../../../include/linux/printk.h)
    /// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h

These are problematic because they are hard to maintain and do not support
`O=` builds.

Instead, provide support for `srctree`-relative links, e.g.:

    //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](srctree/include/linux/printk.h)
    /// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h

The links are fixed after `rustdoc` generation to be based on the absolute
path to the source tree.

Essentially, this is the automatic version of Tomonori's fix [1],
suggested by Gary [2].

Currently, `CondVar::wait()` is an interruptible wait, and this is
different than `wait_event()` in include/linux/wait.h (which is an
uninterruptible wait). To avoid confusion between different APIs on the
interruptible/uninterruptible, make `CondVar::wait()` an uninterruptible
wait same as `wait_event()`, also rename the old `wait()` to
`CondVar::wait_interruptible()`.
