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) -> 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 '&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<Box<_>>', 'Arc<_>', 'Pin<&_>' and 'Pin<&mut _>' 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.
