<content type='text'>
Move the definitions of `ARef` and `AlwaysRefCounted` from `types.rs`
to a new file `sync/aref.rs`.  Define the corresponding `aref` module
under `rust/kernel/sync.rs`.  These types are better grouped in `sync`.

To avoid breaking existing imports, they are re-exported from `types.rs`.
Drop unused imports `mem::ManuallyDrop`, `ptr::NonNull` from `types.rs`,
they are now only used in `sync/aref.rs`, where they are already imported.

The safety comment mentions lockdep -- which from a Rust perspective
isn't important -- and doesn't mention the real reason for why it's
sound to create `LockClassKey` as uninitialized memory.

Use a consistent `# Examples` heading in rustdoc across the codebase.

Some modules previously used `## Examples` (even when they should be
available as top-level headers), while others used `# Example`, which
deviates from the preferred `# Examples` style.

Implement a minimal abstraction for the completion synchronization
primitive.

This initial abstraction only adds complete_all() and
wait_for_completion(), since that is what is required for the subsequent
Devres patch.

<id>4e82c87058f45e79eeaa4d5bcc3b38dd3dce7209</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Extract the 'pin-init' API from the 'kernel' crate and make it into
     a standalone crate.

     In order to do this, the contents are rearranged so that they can
     easily be kept in sync with the version maintained out-of-tree that
     other projects have started to use too (or plan to, like QEMU).

     This will reduce the maintenance burden for Benno, who will now
     have his own sub-tree, and will simplify future expected changes
     like the move to use 'syn' to simplify the implementation.

   - Add '#[test]'-like support based on KUnit.

     We already had doctests support based on KUnit, which takes the
     examples in our Rust documentation and runs them under KUnit.

     Now, we are adding the beginning of the support for "normal" tests,
     similar to those the '#[test]' tests in userspace Rust. For
     instance:

         #[kunit_tests(my_suite)]
         mod tests {
             #[test]
             fn my_test() {
                 assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2);
             }
         }

     Unlike with doctests, the 'assert*!'s do not map to the KUnit
     assertion APIs yet.

   - Check Rust signatures at compile time for functions called from C
     by name.

     In particular, introduce a new '#[export]' macro that can be placed
     in the Rust function definition. It will ensure that the function
     declaration on the C side matches the signature on the Rust
     function:

         #[export]
         pub unsafe extern "C" fn my_function(a: u8, b: i32) -&gt; usize {
             // ...
         }

     The macro essentially forces the compiler to compare the types of
     the actual Rust function and the 'bindgen'-processed C signature.

     These cases are rare so far. In the future, we may consider
     introducing another tool, 'cbindgen', to generate C headers
     automatically. Even then, having these functions explicitly marked
     may be a good idea anyway.

   - Enable the 'raw_ref_op' Rust feature: it is already stable, and
     allows us to use the new '&amp;raw' syntax, avoiding a couple macros.
     After everyone has migrated, we will disallow the macros.

   - Pass the correct target to 'bindgen' on Usermode Linux.

   - Fix 'rusttest' build in macOS.

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'hrtimer' module: add support for setting up intrusive timers
     without allocating when starting the timer. Add support for
     'Pin&lt;Box&lt;_&gt;&gt;', 'Arc&lt;_&gt;', 'Pin&lt;&amp;_&gt;' and 'Pin&lt;&amp;mut _&gt;' as pointer
     types for use with timer callbacks. Add support for setting clock
     source and timer mode.

   - New 'dma' module: add a simple DMA coherent allocator abstraction
     and a test sample driver.

   - 'list' module: make the linked list 'Cursor' point between
     elements, rather than at an element, which is more convenient to us
     and allows for cursors to empty lists; and document it with
     examples of how to perform common operations with the provided
     methods.

   - 'str' module: implement a few traits for 'BStr' as well as the
     'strip_prefix()' method.

   - 'sync' module: add 'Arc::as_ptr'.

   - 'alloc' module: add 'Box::into_pin'.

   - 'error' module: extend the 'Result' documentation, including a few
     examples on different ways of handling errors, a warning about
     using methods that may panic, and links to external documentation.

  'macros' crate:

   - 'module' macro: add the 'authors' key to support multiple authors.
     The original key will be kept until everyone has migrated.

  Documentation:

   - Add error handling sections.

  MAINTAINERS:

   - Add Danilo Krummrich as reviewer of the Rust "subsystem".

   - Add 'RUST [PIN-INIT]' entry with Benno Lossin as maintainer. It has
     its own sub-tree.

   - Add sub-tree for 'RUST [ALLOC]'.

   - Add 'DMA MAPPING HELPERS DEVICE DRIVER API [RUST]' entry with
     Abdiel Janulgue as primary maintainer. It will go through the
     sub-tree of the 'RUST [ALLOC]' entry.

   - Add 'HIGH-RESOLUTION TIMERS [RUST]' entry with Andreas Hindborg as
     maintainer. It has its own sub-tree.

  And a few other cleanups and improvements"

<title>rust: lockdep: Use Pin for all LockClassKey usages</title>

<id>f73ca66f0d7f4371d172d6f5b1f9a00e367ba921</id>
<content type='text'>
Reintroduce dynamically-allocated LockClassKeys such that they are
automatically (de)registered. Require that all usages of LockClassKeys
ensure that they are Pin'd.

Currently, only `'static` LockClassKeys are supported, so Pin is
redundant. However, it is intended that dynamically-allocated
LockClassKeys will eventually be supported, so using Pin from the outset
will make that change simpler.

Reintroduce dynamically-allocated LockClassKeys such that they are
automatically (de)registered. Require that all usages of LockClassKeys
ensure that they are Pin'd.

Currently, only `'static` LockClassKeys are supported, so Pin is
redundant. However, it is intended that dynamically-allocated
LockClassKeys will eventually be supported, so using Pin from the outset
will make that change simpler.

Currently, dynamically allocated LockCLassKeys can be used from the Rust
side without having them registered. This is a soundness issue, so
remove them.

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.

  Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
  bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
  merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
  mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
  stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.

  There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at
  least one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is
  working on tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone
  else's linux-next use), it does not seem like a big issue at the
  moment.

  Here's a short list of the things in here:

   - driver core rust bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o
     functions.

     We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
     depending on what you want to do.

   - misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
     them

   - debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
     places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing
     things in complex ways.

   - driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
     different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.

   - other small fixes and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
  merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
  "soon""

* tag 'driver-core-6.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (95 commits)
  rust: device: Use as_char_ptr() to avoid explicit cast
  rust: device: Replace CString with CStr in property_present()
  devcoredump: Constify 'struct bin_attribute'
