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&lt;Box&lt;T&gt;&gt;' 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.

If RUST_LIB_SRC is defined in the top-level Makefile (via an environment
variable or command line), it is already exported.

The only situation where it is defined but not exported is when the
top-level Makefile is wrapped by another Makefile (e.g., GNUmakefile).
I cannot think of any other use cases.

I know some people use this tip to define custom variables. However,
even in that case, you can export it directly in the wrapper Makefile.

Example GNUmakefile:

    export RUST_LIB_SRC = /path/to/your/sysroot/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library
    include Makefile

<title>kbuild: generate offset range data for builtin modules</title>
<updated>2024-09-20T00:21:43+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=5f5e7344322f0b0676579af054c787ed57d1c1df'/>
<id>5f5e7344322f0b0676579af054c787ed57d1c1df</id>
<content type='text'>
Create file module.builtin.ranges that can be used to find where
built-in modules are located by their addresses. This will be useful for
tracing tools to find what functions are for various built-in modules.

The offset range data for builtin modules is generated using:
 - modules.builtin: associates object files with module names
 - vmlinux.map: provides load order of sections and offset of first member
    per section
 - vmlinux.o.map: provides offset of object file content per section
 - .*.cmd: build cmd file with KBUILD_MODFILE

The generated data will look like:

.text 00000000-00000000 = _text
.text 0000baf0-0000cb10 amd_uncore
.text 0009bd10-0009c8e0 iosf_mbi
...
.text 00b9f080-00ba011a intel_skl_int3472_discrete
.text 00ba0120-00ba03c0 intel_skl_int3472_discrete intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
.text 00ba03c0-00ba08d6 intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
...
.data 00000000-00000000 = _sdata
.data 0000f020-0000f680 amd_uncore

For each ELF section, it lists the offset of the first symbol.  This can
be used to determine the base address of the section at runtime.

Next, it lists (in strict ascending order) offset ranges in that section
that cover the symbols of one or more builtin modules.  Multiple ranges
can apply to a single module, and ranges can be shared between modules.

The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.

How it works:

 1. The modules.builtin file is parsed to obtain a list of built-in
    module names and their associated object names (the .ko file that
    the module would be in if it were a loadable module, hereafter
    referred to as &lt;kmodfile&gt;).  This object name can be used to
    identify objects in the kernel compile because any C or assembler
    code that ends up into a built-in module will have the option
    -DKBUILD_MODFILE=&lt;kmodfile&gt; present in its build command, and those
    can be found in the .&lt;obj&gt;.cmd file in the kernel build tree.

    If an object is part of multiple modules, they will all be listed
    in the KBUILD_MODFILE option argument.

    This allows us to conclusively determine whether an object in the
    kernel build belong to any modules, and which.

 2. The vmlinux.map is parsed next to determine the base address of each
    top level section so that all addresses into the section can be
    turned into offsets.  This makes it possible to handle sections
    getting loaded at different addresses at system boot.

    We also determine an 'anchor' symbol at the beginning of each
    section to make it possible to calculate the true base address of
    a section at runtime (i.e. symbol address - symbol offset).

    We collect start addresses of sections that are included in the top
    level section.  This is used when vmlinux is linked using vmlinux.o,
    because in that case, we need to look at the vmlinux.o linker map to
    know what object a symbol is found in.

    And finally, we process each symbol that is listed in vmlinux.map
    (or vmlinux.o.map) based on the following structure:

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.a:

      vmlinux.map:
        &lt;top level section&gt;
          &lt;included section&gt;  -- might be same as top level section)
            &lt;object&gt;          -- built-in association known
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.o:

      vmlinux.map:
        &lt;top level section&gt;
          &lt;included section&gt;  -- might be same as top level section)
            vmlinux.o         -- need to use vmlinux.o.map
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- ignored
              ...

      vmlinux.o.map:
        &lt;section&gt;
            &lt;object&gt;          -- built-in association known
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

 3. As sections, objects, and symbols are processed, offset ranges are
    constructed in a straight-forward way:

      - If the symbol belongs to one or more built-in modules:
          - If we were working on the same module(s), extend the range
            to include this object
          - If we were working on another module(s), close that range,
            and start the new one
      - If the symbol does not belong to any built-in modules:
          - If we were working on a module(s) range, close that range

Create file module.builtin.ranges that can be used to find where
built-in modules are located by their addresses. This will be useful for
tracing tools to find what functions are for various built-in modules.

The offset range data for builtin modules is generated using:
 - modules.builtin: associates object files with module names
 - vmlinux.map: provides load order of sections and offset of first member
    per section
 - vmlinux.o.map: provides offset of object file content per section
 - .*.cmd: build cmd file with KBUILD_MODFILE

The generated data will look like:

.text 00000000-00000000 = _text
.text 0000baf0-0000cb10 amd_uncore
.text 0009bd10-0009c8e0 iosf_mbi
...
.text 00b9f080-00ba011a intel_skl_int3472_discrete
.text 00ba0120-00ba03c0 intel_skl_int3472_discrete intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
.text 00ba03c0-00ba08d6 intel_skl_int3472_tps68470
...
.data 00000000-00000000 = _sdata
.data 0000f020-0000f680 amd_uncore

For each ELF section, it lists the offset of the first symbol.  This can
be used to determine the base address of the section at runtime.

Next, it lists (in strict ascending order) offset ranges in that section
that cover the symbols of one or more builtin modules.  Multiple ranges
can apply to a single module, and ranges can be shared between modules.

The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.

How it works:

 1. The modules.builtin file is parsed to obtain a list of built-in
    module names and their associated object names (the .ko file that
    the module would be in if it were a loadable module, hereafter
    referred to as &lt;kmodfile&gt;).  This object name can be used to
    identify objects in the kernel compile because any C or assembler
    code that ends up into a built-in module will have the option
    -DKBUILD_MODFILE=&lt;kmodfile&gt; present in its build command, and those
    can be found in the .&lt;obj&gt;.cmd file in the kernel build tree.

    If an object is part of multiple modules, they will all be listed
    in the KBUILD_MODFILE option argument.

    This allows us to conclusively determine whether an object in the
    kernel build belong to any modules, and which.

 2. The vmlinux.map is parsed next to determine the base address of each
    top level section so that all addresses into the section can be
    turned into offsets.  This makes it possible to handle sections
    getting loaded at different addresses at system boot.

    We also determine an 'anchor' symbol at the beginning of each
    section to make it possible to calculate the true base address of
    a section at runtime (i.e. symbol address - symbol offset).

    We collect start addresses of sections that are included in the top
    level section.  This is used when vmlinux is linked using vmlinux.o,
    because in that case, we need to look at the vmlinux.o linker map to
    know what object a symbol is found in.

    And finally, we process each symbol that is listed in vmlinux.map
    (or vmlinux.o.map) based on the following structure:

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.a:

      vmlinux.map:
        &lt;top level section&gt;
          &lt;included section&gt;  -- might be same as top level section)
            &lt;object&gt;          -- built-in association known
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

    vmlinux linked from vmlinux.o:

      vmlinux.map:
        &lt;top level section&gt;
          &lt;included section&gt;  -- might be same as top level section)
            vmlinux.o         -- need to use vmlinux.o.map
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- ignored
              ...

      vmlinux.o.map:
        &lt;section&gt;
            &lt;object&gt;          -- built-in association known
              &lt;symbol&gt;        -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
              ...

    constructed in a straight-forward way:

      - If the symbol belongs to one or more built-in modules:

          - If we were working on another module(s), close that range,
            and start the new one
      - If the symbol does not belong to any built-in modules:

<title>rust: cfi: add support for CFI_CLANG with Rust</title>

Make it possible to use the Control Flow Integrity (CFI) sanitizer when
Rust is enabled. Enabling CFI with Rust requires that CFI is configured
to normalize integer types so that all integer types of the same size
and signedness are compatible under CFI.

Rust and C use the same LLVM backend for code generation, so Rust KCFI
is compatible with the KCFI used in the kernel for C. In the case of
FineIBT, CFI also depends on -Zpatchable-function-entry for rewriting
the function prologue, so we set that flag for Rust as well. The flag
for FineIBT requires rustc 1.80.0 or later, so include a Kconfig
requirement for that.

Enabling Rust will select CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS because the flag
is required to use Rust with CFI. Using select rather than `depends on`
avoids the case where Rust is not visible in menuconfig due to
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS not being enabled. One disadvantage of
select is that RUST must `depends on` all of the things that
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS depends on to avoid invalid configurations.

Alice has been using KCFI on her phone for several months, so it is
reasonably well tested on arm64.
