rust: kernel: stop using ptr_metadata feature

2024-02-18T20:22:27+00:00

The `byte_sub` method was stabilized in Rust 1.75.0. By using that
method, we no longer need the unstable `ptr_metadata` feature for
implementing `Arc::from_raw`.

This brings us one step closer towards not using unstable compiler
features.

rust: kernel: add reexports for macros

2024-02-18T20:22:27+00:00

Currently, all macros are reexported with #[macro_export] only, which
means that to access `new_work!` from the workqueue, you need to import
it from the path `kernel::new_work` instead of importing it from the
workqueue module like all other items in the workqueue. By adding
reexports of the macros, it becomes possible to import the macros from
the correct modules.

It's still possible to import the macros from the root, but I don't
think we can do anything about that.

There is no functional change. This is merely a code cleanliness
improvement.

rust: kernel: unify spelling of refcount in docs

2024-02-18T20:22:27+00:00

Replace instances of 'ref-count[ed]' with 'refcount[ed]' to increase
consistency within the Rust documentation. The latter form is used more
widely in the rest of the kernel:

```console
$ rg '(\*|//).*?\srefcount(|ed)[\s,.]' | wc -l
1605
$ rg '(\*|//).*?\sref-count(|ed)[\s,.]' | wc -l
43

rust: kernel: fix multiple typos in documentation

2024-02-18T20:22:27+00:00

Fixes multiple trivial typos in documentation and comments of the
kernel crate.

allocator:
- Fix a trivial list item alignment issue in the last SAFETY comment of
  `krealloc_aligned`.

init:
- Replace 'type' with 'trait' in the doc comments of the `PinInit` and
  `Init` traits.
- Add colons before starting lists.
- Add spaces between the type and equal sign to respect the code
  formatting rules in example code.
- End a sentence with a full stop instead of a colon.

ioctl:
- Replace 'an' with 'a' where appropriate.

str:
- Replace 'Return' with 'Returns' in the doc comment of `bytes_written`
  as the text describes what the function does.

sync/lock:
- Fix a trivial list item alignment issue in the Safety section of the
  `Backend` trait's description.

sync/lock/spinlock:
- The code in this module operates on spinlocks, not mutexes. Thus,
  replace 'mutex' with 'spinlock' in the SAFETY comment of `unlock`.

workqueue:
- Replace "wont" with "won't" in the doc comment of `__enqueue`.

rust: sync: update integer types in CondVar

2024-01-28T19:55:28+00:00

Reduce the chances of compilation failures due to integer type
mismatches in `CondVar`.

When an integer is defined using a #define in C, bindgen doesn't know
which integer type it is supposed to be, so it will just use `u32` by
default (if it fits in an u32). Whenever the right type is something
else, we insert a cast in Rust. However, this means that the code has a
lot of extra casts, and sometimes the code will be missing casts if u32
happens to be correct on the developer's machine, even though the type
might be something else on a different platform.

This patch updates all uses of such constants in
`rust/kernel/sync/condvar.rs` to use constants defined with the right
type. This allows us to remove various unnecessary casts, while also
future-proofing for the case where `unsigned int != u32` (even though
that is unlikely to ever happen in the kernel).

I wrote this patch at the suggestion of Benno in [1].

rust: sync: add `CondVar::wait_timeout`

2024-01-28T19:54:35+00:00

Sleep on a condition variable with a timeout.

This is used by Rust Binder for process freezing. There, we want to
sleep until the freeze operation completes, but we want to be able to
abort the process freezing if it doesn't complete within some timeout.

Note that it is not enough to avoid jiffies by introducing a variant of
`CondVar::wait_timeout` that takes the timeout in msecs because we need
to be able to restart the sleep with the remaining sleep duration if it
is interrupted, and if the API takes msecs rather than jiffies, then
that would require a conversion roundtrip jiffies->msecs->jiffies that
is best avoided.
