<content type='text'>
When building with an out directory (O=), absolute paths can end up in the
file name in `#[track_caller]` or the panic message. This is not desirable
as this leaks the exact path being used to build the kernel and means that
the same location can appear in two forms (relative or absolute).

This is reported by Asahi [1] and is being workaround in [2] previously to
force everything to be absolute path. Using absolute path for everything
solves the inconsistency, however it does not address the reproducibility
issue. So, fix this by remap all absolute paths to srctree to relative path
instead.

This is previously attempted in commit dbdffaf50ff9 ("kbuild, rust: use
-fremap-path-prefix to make paths relative") but that was reverted as
remapping debug info causes some tool (e.g. objdump) to be unable to find
sources. Therefore, use `--remap-path-scope` to only remap macros but leave
debuginfo untouched. `--remap-path-scope` is only stable in Rust 1.95, so
use `rustc-option` to detect its presence. This feature has been available
as  `-Zremap-path-scope` for all versions that we support; however due to
bugs in the Rust compiler, it does not work reliably until 1.94. I opted to
not enable it for 1.94 as it's just a single version that we missed.

This change can be validated by building a kernel with O=, strip debug info
on vmlinux, and then check if the absolute path exists in `strings
vmlinux`, e.g. `strings vmlinux |grep \/home`.

<title>rust: kbuild: emit dep-info into $(depfile) directly</title>

<content type='text'>
After commit 295d8398c67e ("kbuild: specify output names separately for
each emission type from rustc"), the preferred pattern is to ask rustc to
emit dependency information into $(depfile) directly, and after commit
2185242faddd ("kbuild: remove sed commands after rustc rules"), the
post-processing to remove comments is no longer necessary as fixdep can
handle comments directly. Thus, emit dep-info into $(depfile) directly and
remove the mv and sed invocation.

This fixes the issue where a non-ignored .d file is emitted during
compilation and removed shortly afterwards.

[ Like Gary mentioned in Zulip, this likely happened due to rebasing
  the builds part of the old `syn` work I had. - Miguel ]

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

   - Add '__rust_helper' annotation to the C helpers

     This is needed to inline these helpers into Rust code

   - Remove imports available via the prelude, treewide

     This was possible thanks to a new lint in Klint that Gary has
     implemented -- more Klint-related changes, including initial
     upstream support, are coming

   - Deduplicate pin-init flags

  'kernel' crate:

   - Add support for calling a function exactly once with the new
     'do_once_lite!' macro (and 'OnceLite' type)

     Based on this, add 'pr_*_once!' macros to print only once

   - Add 'impl_flags!' macro for defining common bitflags operations:

         impl_flags!(
             /// Represents multiple permissions.
             #[derive(Debug, Clone, Default, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
             pub struct Permissions(u32);

             /// Represents a single permission.
             #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)]
             pub enum Permission {
                 /// Read permission.
                 Read = 1 &lt;&lt; 0,

                 /// Write permission.
                 Write = 1 &lt;&lt; 1,

                 /// Execute permission.
                 Execute = 1 &lt;&lt; 2,
             }
         );

         let mut f: Permissions = Permission::Read | Permission::Write;
         assert!(f.contains(Permission::Read));
         assert!(!f.contains(Permission::Execute));

         f |= Permission::Execute;
         assert!(f.contains(Permission::Execute));

         let f2: Permissions = Permission::Write | Permission::Execute;
         assert!((f ^ f2).contains(Permission::Read));
         assert!(!(f ^ f2).contains(Permission::Write));

   - 'bug' module: support 'CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE_DETAILED' in the
     'warn_on!' macro in order to show the evaluated condition alongside
     the file path:

          ------------[ cut here ]------------
          WARNING: [val == 1] linux/samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs:27 at ...
          Modules linked in: rust_minimal(+)

   - Add safety module with 'unsafe_precondition_assert!' macro,
     currently a wrapper for 'debug_assert!', intended to mark the
     validation of safety preconditions where possible:

         /// # Safety
         ///
         /// The caller must ensure that `index` is less than `N`.
         unsafe fn set_unchecked(&amp;mut self, index: usize, value: T) {
             unsafe_precondition_assert!(
                 index &lt; N,
                 "set_unchecked() requires index ({index}) &lt; N ({N})"
             );

             ...
         }

   - Add instructions to 'build_assert!' documentation requesting to
     always inline functions when used with function arguments

   - 'ptr' module: replace 'build_assert!' with a 'const' one

   - 'rbtree' module: reduce unsafe blocks on pointer derefs

   - 'transmute' module: implement 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes' for
     inhabited ZSTs, and use it in Nova

   - More treewide replacements of 'c_str!' with C string literals

  'macros' crate:

   - Rewrite most procedural macros ('module!', 'concat_idents!',
     '#[export]', '#[vtable]', '#[kunit_tests]') to use the 'syn'
     parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
     diagnostics

     This also allows to support '#[cfg]' properly in the '#[vtable]'
     macro, to support arbitrary types in 'module!' macro (not just an
     identifier) and to remove several custom parsing helpers we had

   - Use 'quote!' from the recently vendored 'quote' library and remove
     our custom one

     The vendored one also allows us to avoid quoting '"' and '{}'
     inside the template anymore and editors can now highlight it. In
     addition, it improves robustness as it eliminates the need for
     string quoting and escaping

   - Use 'pin_init::zeroed()' to simplify KUnit code

  'pin-init' crate:

   - Rewrite all procedural macros ('[pin_]init!', '#[pin_data]',
     '#[pinned_drop]', 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)') to use the 'syn'
     parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
     diagnostics

   - Implement 'InPlaceWrite' for '&amp;'static mut MaybeUninit&lt;T&gt;'. This
     enables users to use external allocation mechanisms such as
     'static_cell'

   - Support tuple structs in 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)'

   - Support attributes on fields in '[pin_]init!' (such as
     '#[cfg(...)]')

   - Add a '#[default_error(&lt;type&gt;)]' attribute to '[pin_]init!' to
     override the default error (when no '? Error' is specified)

   - Support packed structs in '[pin_]init!' with
     '#[disable_initialized_field_access]'

   - Remove 'try_[pin_]init!' in favor of merging their feature with
     '[pin_]init!'. Update the kernel's own 'try_[pin_]init!' macros to
     use the 'default_error' attribute

   - Correct 'T: Sized' bounds to 'T: ?Sized' in the generated
     'PinnedDrop' check by '#[pin_data]'

  Documentation:

   - Conclude the Rust experiment

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add "RUST [RUST-ANALYZER]" entry for the rust-analyzer support.
     Tamir and Jesung will take care of it. They have both been active
     around it for a while. The new tree will flow through the Rust one

   - Add Gary as maintainer for "RUST [PIN-INIT]"

   - Update Boqun and Tamir emails to their kernel.org accounts

     parsing library which we introduced last cycle, with better
     diagnostics

   - Implement 'InPlaceWrite' for '&amp;'static mut MaybeUninit&lt;T&gt;'. This
     enables users to use external allocation mechanisms such as
     'static_cell'

   - Support tuple structs in 'derive([Maybe]Zeroable)'

   - Support attributes on fields in '[pin_]init!' (such as
     '#[cfg(...)]')

   - Add a '#[default_error(&lt;type&gt;)]' attribute to '[pin_]init!' to
     override the default error (when no '? Error' is specified)

   - Support packed structs in '[pin_]init!' with
     '#[disable_initialized_field_access]'

   - Remove 'try_[pin_]init!' in favor of merging their feature with
     '[pin_]init!'. Update the kernel's own 'try_[pin_]init!' macros to
     use the 'default_error' attribute

   - Correct 'T: Sized' bounds to 'T: ?Sized' in the generated
     'PinnedDrop' check by '#[pin_data]'

  Documentation:

   - Conclude the Rust experiment

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add "RUST [RUST-ANALYZER]" entry for the rust-analyzer support.
     Tamir and Jesung will take care of it. They have both been active
     around it for a while. The new tree will flow through the Rust one

   - Add Gary as maintainer for "RUST [PIN-INIT]"

   - Update Boqun and Tamir emails to their kernel.org accounts

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

<title>rust: pin-init: add `syn` dependency and remove `proc-macro[2]` and `quote` workarounds</title>

`syn` makes parsing Rust from proc-macros a lot simpler. `pin-init` has
not used `syn` up until now, because the we did not support it. That
changed in commit 54e3eae85562 ("Merge patch series "`syn` support""),
so we can finally utilize the added ergonomics of parsing proc-macro
input with `syn`.

Previously we only had the `proc-macro` library available, whereas the
user-space version also used `proc-macro2` and `quote`. Now both are
available, so remove the workarounds.

Due to these changes, clippy emits warnings about unnecessary
`.to_string()` as `proc-macro2` provides an additional `PartialEq` impl
on `Ident`, so the warnings are fixed.

[ Adjusted wording from upstream version and added build system changes
  for the kernel - Benno ]

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 '&amp;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::&lt;u8, 4&gt;::new::&lt;15&gt;();
         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"

     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"

One of the two main uses cases for adding `proc-macro2`, `quote` and
`syn` is the `macros` crates (and the other `pin-init`).

Thus add the support for the crates in `macros` already.
