Rust module parameter support:
- Add Rust module parameter support, enabling Rust kernel modules to declare
and use module parameters. The rust_minimal sample module demonstrates this,
and the rust null block driver will be the first to use it in the next cycle.
This also adds the Rust module files under the modules subsystem as agreed
between the Rust and modules maintainers.
Hardening:
- Add compile-time check for embedded NUL characters in MODULE_*() macros. This
module metadata was once used (and maybe still) to bypass license enforcement
(LWN article [1] from 2003). This change required a sparse fix [2] which you
reviewed.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Aaron Tomlin as reviewer for the Modules subsystem.
The changes have been in linux-next for 4 weeks. Recent 0day reports for UM [3]
and arm64 [4] builds were not reproducible and traced to a buggy bindgen version
combined with unreleased clang-22 in 0day. The Rust team has reported this to
0day.
As discussed previously, we rotate module maintainership among co-maintainers
every 6 months. Sami Tolvanen is next in line and will send the next pull
request. As a reminder, Luis has already announced [5] he will gradually step
away as maintainer.
