The Rust `Regulator` abstraction uses `NonNull` to wrap the underlying
`struct regulator` pointer. When `CONFIG_REGULATOR` is disabled, the C
stub for `regulator_get` returns `NULL`. `from_err_ptr` does not treat
`NULL` as an error, so it was passed to `NonNull::new_unchecked`,
causing undefined behavior.

Fix this by using a raw pointer `*mut bindings::regulator` instead of
`NonNull`. This allows `inner` to be `NULL` when `CONFIG_REGULATOR` is
disabled, and leverages the C stubs which are designed to handle `NULL`
or are no-ops.

The kernel fmt! proc macro wraps each format argument as &amp;(arg). Passing a
tuple such as (a, b) produces &amp;((a, b)) after expansion. Clippy flags that
as double_parens, but it is a false positive fixed in Clippy 1.92 [1] [2].

Suppress the warning on the affected doctest function with a reason
attribute so it can be removed once the minimum toolchain moves past 1.92.

[ We may end up deciding to support per-version Clippy lints, in which

  `Delimiter::None` as Gary suggested in [5].

<id>fdbaa9d2b78e0da9e1aeb303bbdc3adfe6d8e749</id>
<content type='text'>
We use a unit struct `__InitOk` in the closure generated by the
initializer macros as the return value. We shadow it by creating a
struct with the same name again inside of the closure, preventing early
returns of `Ok` in the initializer (before all fields have been
initialized).

In the face of Type Alias Impl Trait (TAIT) and the next trait solver,
this solution no longer works [1]. The shadowed struct can be named
through type inference. In addition, there is an RFC proposing to add
the feature of path inference to Rust, which would similarly allow [2].

Thus remove the shadowed token and replace it with an `unsafe` to create
token.

The reason we initially used the shadowing solution was because an
alternative solution used a builder pattern. Gary writes [3]:

    In the early builder-pattern based InitOk, having a single InitOk
    type for token is unsound because one can launder an InitOk token
    used for one place to another initializer. I used a branded lifetime
    solution, and then you figured out that using a shadowed type would
    work better because nobody could construct it at all.

The laundering issue does not apply to the approach we ended up with
today.

With this change, the example by Tim Chirananthavat in [1] no longer
compiles and results in this error:

    error: cannot construct `pin_init::__internal::InitOk` with struct literal syntax due to private fields
      --&gt; src/main.rs:26:17

    26 +                 InferredType::new()

Applying the suggestion of using the `::new()` function, results in
another expected error:

<title>rust: dma: use pointer projection infra for `dma_{read,write}` macro</title>
<updated>2026-03-07T22:06:20+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=4da879a0d3fd170a70994b73baa554c6913918b5'/>
<id>4da879a0d3fd170a70994b73baa554c6913918b5</id>
<content type='text'>
Current `dma_read!`, `dma_write!` macros also use a custom
`addr_of!()`-based implementation for projecting pointers, which has
soundness issue as it relies on absence of `Deref` implementation on types.
It also has a soundness issue where it does not protect against unaligned
fields (when `#[repr(packed)]` is used) so it can generate misaligned
accesses.

This commit migrates them to use the general pointer projection
infrastructure, which handles these cases correctly.

As part of migration, the macro is updated to have an improved surface
syntax. The current macro have

    dma_read!(a.b.c[d].e.f)

to mean `a.b.c` is a DMA coherent allocation and it should project into it
with `[d].e.f` and do a read, which is confusing as it makes the indexing
operator integral to the macro (so it will break if you have an array of
`CoherentAllocation`, for example).

This also is problematic as we would like to generalize
`CoherentAllocation` from just slices to arbitrary types.

Make the macro expects `dma_read!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma)` as the
canonical syntax. The index operator is no longer special and is just one
type of projection (in additional to field projection). Similarly, make
`dma_write!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma, value)` become the canonical
syntax for writing.

Another issue of the current macro is that it is always fallible. This
makes sense with existing design of `CoherentAllocation`, but once we
support fixed size arrays with `CoherentAllocation`, it is desirable to
have the ability to perform infallible indexing as well, e.g. doing a `[0]`
index of `[Foo; 2]` is okay and can be checked at build-time, so forcing
falliblity is non-ideal. To capture this, the macro is changed to use
`[idx]` as infallible projection and `[idx]?` as fallible index projection
(those syntax are part of the general projection infra). A benefit of this
is that while individual indexing operation may fail, the overall
read/write operation is not fallible.

Current `dma_read!`, `dma_write!` macros also use a custom
`addr_of!()`-based implementation for projecting pointers, which has
soundness issue as it relies on absence of `Deref` implementation on types.
It also has a soundness issue where it does not protect against unaligned
fields (when `#[repr(packed)]` is used) so it can generate misaligned
accesses.

This commit migrates them to use the general pointer projection
infrastructure, which handles these cases correctly.

As part of migration, the macro is updated to have an improved surface
syntax. The current macro have

    dma_read!(a.b.c[d].e.f)

to mean `a.b.c` is a DMA coherent allocation and it should project into it
with `[d].e.f` and do a read, which is confusing as it makes the indexing
operator integral to the macro (so it will break if you have an array of
`CoherentAllocation`, for example).

This also is problematic as we would like to generalize
`CoherentAllocation` from just slices to arbitrary types.

Make the macro expects `dma_read!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma)` as the
canonical syntax. The index operator is no longer special and is just one
type of projection (in additional to field projection). Similarly, make
`dma_write!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma, value)` become the canonical
syntax for writing.

Another issue of the current macro is that it is always fallible. This
makes sense with existing design of `CoherentAllocation`, but once we
support fixed size arrays with `CoherentAllocation`, it is desirable to
have the ability to perform infallible indexing as well, e.g. doing a `[0]`
index of `[Foo; 2]` is okay and can be checked at build-time, so forcing
falliblity is non-ideal. To capture this, the macro is changed to use
`[idx]` as infallible projection and `[idx]?` as fallible index projection
(those syntax are part of the general projection infra). A benefit of this
is that while individual indexing operation may fail, the overall
read/write operation is not fallible.

<content type='text'>
Add a generic infrastructure for performing field and index projections on
raw pointers. This will form the basis of performing I/O projections.

Pointers manipulations are intentionally using the safe wrapping variants
instead of the unsafe variants, as the latter requires pointers to be
inside an allocation which is not necessarily true for I/O pointers.

This projection macro protects against rogue `Deref` implementation, which
can causes the projected pointer to be outside the bounds of starting
pointer. This is extremely unlikely and Rust has a lint to catch this, but
is unsoundness regardless. The protection works by inducing type inference
ambiguity when `Deref` is implemented.

This projection macro also stops projecting into unaligned fields (i.e.
fields of `#[repr(packed)]` structs), as misaligned pointers require
special handling. This is implemented by attempting to create reference to
projected field inside a `if false` block. Despite being unreachable, Rust
still checks that they're not unaligned fields.

The projection macro supports both fallible and infallible index
projections. These are described in detail inside the documentation.

<title>rust: ptr: add `KnownSize` trait to support DST size info extraction</title>

Add a `KnownSize` trait which is used obtain a size from a raw pointer's
metadata. This makes it possible to obtain size information on a raw slice
pointer. This is similar to Rust `core::mem::size_of_val_raw` which is not
yet stable.

The functions `[Pin]Init::__[pinned_]init` and `ptr::write` called from
the `init!` macro require the passed pointer to be aligned. This fact is
ensured by the creation of field accessors to previously initialized
fields.

Since we missed this very important fact from the beginning [1],
document it in the code.
