 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

     macro, prevent such uses in the future by moving the function
     elsewhere and add the macro to the prelude.

   - 'types' module: add improved version of 'ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut'
     (which was removed in the past since it was problematic); change
     'ForeignOwnable' pointer type to '*mut'.

   - 'alloc' module: implement 'Display' for 'Box' and align the 'Debug'
     implementation to it; add example (doctest) for 'ArrayLayout::new()'

   - 'sync' module: document 'PhantomData' in 'Arc'; use
     'NonNull::new_unchecked' in 'ForeignOwnable for Arc' impl.

   - 'uaccess' module: accept 'Vec's with different allocators in
     'UserSliceReader::read_all'.

   - 'workqueue' module: enable run-testing a couple more doctests.

   - 'error' module: simplify 'from_errno()'.

   - 'block' module: fix formatting in code documentation (a lint to catch
     these is being implemented).

   - Avoid 'unwrap()'s in doctests, which also improves the examples by
     showing how kernel code is supposed to be written.

   - Avoid 'as' casts with 'cast{,_mut}' calls which are a bit safer.

  And a few other cleanups"

However, the method accidentally made it possible to change the address of the object being modified, which usually isn't what we want. (And when we want that, it can be done by calling `from_foreign` and `into_foreign`, like how the old `borrow_mut` was implemented.) In this patch, we introduce an alternate definition of `borrow_mut` that solves the previous problem. Conceptually, given a pointer type `P` that implements `ForeignOwnable`, the `borrow_mut` method gives you the same kind of access as an `&mut P` would, except that it does not let you change the pointer `P` itself. This is analogous to how the existing `borrow` method provides the same kind of access to the inner value as an `&P`. Note that for types like `Arc`, having an `&mut Arc<T>` only gives you immutable access to the inner `T`. This is because mutable references assume exclusive access, but there might be other handles to the same reference counted value, so the access isn't exclusive. The `Arc` type implements this by making `borrow_mut` return the same type as `borrow`.

rust: use derive(CoercePointee) on rustc >= 1.84.0 2025-01-13T22:45:30+00:00 Xiangfei Ding dingxiangfei2009@gmail.com 2024-12-03T20:47:49+00:00 47cb6bf7860ce33bdd000198f8b65cf9fb3324b4 The `kernel` crate relies on both `coerce_unsized` and `dispatch_from_dyn` unstable features. Alice Ryhl has proposed [1] the introduction of the unstable macro `SmartPointer` to reduce such dependence, along with a RFC patch [2]. Since Rust 1.81.0 this macro, later renamed to `CoercePointee` in Rust 1.84.0 [3], has been fully implemented with the naming discussion resolved. This feature is now on track to stabilization in the language. In order to do so, we shall start using this macro in the `kernel` crate to prove the functionality and utility of the macro as the justification of its stabilization. This patch makes this switch in such a way that the crate remains backward compatible with older Rust compiler versions, via the new Kconfig option `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE`. A minimal demonstration example is added to the `samples/rust/rust_print_main.rs` module.

The `kernel` crate relies on both `coerce_unsized` and `dispatch_from_dyn`
unstable features.

Alice Ryhl has proposed [1] the introduction of the unstable macro
`SmartPointer` to reduce such dependence, along with a RFC patch [2].
Since Rust 1.81.0 this macro, later renamed to `CoercePointee` in
Rust 1.84.0 [3], has been fully implemented with the naming discussion
resolved.

This feature is now on track to stabilization in the language.
In order to do so, we shall start using this macro in the `kernel` crate
to prove the functionality and utility of the macro as the justification
of its stabilization.

This patch makes this switch in such a way that the crate remains
backward compatible with older Rust compiler versions,
via the new Kconfig option `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE`.

A minimal demonstration example is added to the
`samples/rust/rust_print_main.rs` module.
