Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
- The whole caching of module code into huge pages by Mike Rapoport is
going in through Andrew Morton's tree due to some other code
dependencies. That's really the biggest highlight for Linux kernel
modules in this release. With it we share huge pages for modules,
starting off with x86. Expect to see that soon through Andrew!
- Helge Deller addressed some lingering low hanging fruit alignment
enhancements by. It is worth pointing out that from his old patch
series I dropped his vmlinux.lds.h change at Masahiro's request as he
would prefer this to be specified in asm code [0].

- Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.
- Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.
- We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now
which relies and combines patchwork, kpd and kdevops:

https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/linux-modules-kdevops-ci.md
If you want to help avoid Linux kernel modules regressions, now its
simple, just add a new Linux modules sefltests under
tools/testing/selftests/module/ That is it. All new selftests will be
used and leveraged automatically by the CI.

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the
compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as
unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a
frequent source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide
new developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very
nice.
- Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized
in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was
_not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up
locally ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s).
- Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust
linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance,
our first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more
importantly, enabling the checking of private items.
- Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above.
- Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the
kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is
the support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e.
as receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc'
that common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has
been accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps
required to get there.
- Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature.
- Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our
custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi'
one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle.
- Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize'
instead of 32/64-bit integers.
- Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins.
- Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue
in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming
tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some
distributions backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All
major distributions we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS.
'macros' crate:
- Adapt the build system to be able run the doctests there too; and
clean up and enable the corresponding doctests.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'alloc' module with generic kernel allocator support and remove
the dependency on the Rust standard library 'alloc' and the
extension traits we used to provide fallible methods with flags.
Add the 'Allocator' trait and its implementations '{K,V,KV}malloc'.
Add the 'Box' type (a heap allocation for a single value of type
'T' that is also generic over an allocator and considers the
kernel's GFP flags) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Box'. Add
'ArrayLayout' type. Add 'Vec' (a contiguous growable array type)
and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Vec', including iterator
support.
For instance, now we may write code such as:
let mut v = KVec::new();
v.push(1, GFP_KERNEL)?;
assert_eq!(&v, &[1]);
Treewide, move as well old users to these new types.
- 'sync' module: add global lock support, including the
'GlobalLockBackend' trait; the 'Global{Lock,Guard,LockedBy}' types
and the 'global_lock!' macro. Add the 'Lock::try_lock' method.
- 'error' module: optimize 'Error' type to use 'NonZeroI32' and make
conversion functions public.
- 'page' module: add 'page_align' function.
- Add 'transmute' module with the existing 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes'
traits.
- 'block::mq::request' module: improve rendered documentation.
- 'types' module: extend 'Opaque' type documentation and add simple
examples for the 'Either' types.
drm/panic:
- Clean up a series of Clippy warnings.
Documentation:
- Add coding guidelines for lints and the '#[expect]' feature.
- Add Ubuntu to the list of distributions in the Quick Start guide.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as maintainer of the new 'alloc' module.
And a few other small cleanups and fixes"

In beta Clippy (i.e. Rust 1.83.0), the `needless_lifetimes` lint has

647 + impl<T: ?Sized + ListItem<ID>, const ID: u64> FusedIterator for Iter<'_, T, ID> {}
A possibility would have been to clean them -- the RFC patch [2] did
this, while asking if we wanted these cleanups. There is an open issue
[3] in Clippy about being able to differentiate some of the new cases,
e.g. those that do not involve introducing `'_`. Thus it seems others
feel similarly.
Thus, for the time being, we decided to `allow` the lint.

This script has been broken for 5 years with no user complaints.
It first had its .mod.c parser broken in commit a3d0cb04f7df ("modpost:
use __section in the output to *.mod.c"). Later, it had its object file
enumeration broken in commit f65a486821cf ("kbuild: change module.order
to list *.o instead of *.ko"). Both of these changes sat for years with
no reports.
Rather than reviving this script as we make further changes to `.mod.c`,
this patch gets rid of it because it is clearly unused.

Back when we used Rust 1.60.0 (before Rust was merged in the kernel),
we added `-Wclippy::dbg_macro` to the compilation flags. This worked
great with our custom `dbg!` macro (vendored from `std`, but slightly
modified to use the kernel printing facilities).
However, in the very next version, 1.61.0, it stopped working [1] since
the lint started to use a Rust diagnostic item rather than a path to find
the `dbg!` macro [1]. This behavior remains until the current nightly
(1.83.0).
Therefore, currently, the `dbg_macro` is not doing anything, which
explains why we can invoke `dbg!` in samples/rust/rust_print.rs`, as well
as why changing the `#[allow()]`s to `#[expect()]`s in `std_vendor.rs`
doctests does not work since they are not fulfilled.
One possible workaround is using `rustc_attrs` like the standard library
does. However, this is intended to be internal, and we just started
supporting several Rust compiler versions, so it is best to avoid it.
Therefore, instead, use `disallowed_macros`. It is a stable lint and
is more flexible (in that we can provide different macros), although
its diagnostic message(s) are not as nice as the specialized one (yet),
and does not allow to set different lint levels per macro/path [2].
In turn, this requires allowing the (intentional) `dbg!` use in the
sample, as one would have expected.
Finally, in a single case, the `allow` is fixed to be an inner attribute,
since otherwise it was not being applied.

Some Clippy lints can be configured/tweaked. We will use these knobs to
our advantage in later commits.
This is done via a configuration file, `.clippy.toml` [1]. The file is
currently unstable. This may be a problem in the future, but we can adapt
as needed. In addition, we proposed adding Clippy to the Rust CI's RFL
job [2], so we should be able to catch issues pre-merge.
Thus introduce the file.

In Rust 1.71.0, `rustdoc` added the `unescaped_backticks` lint, which
detects what are typically typos in Markdown formatting regarding inline
code [1], e.g. from the Rust standard library:
/// ... to `deref`/`deref_mut`` must ...
/// ... use [`from_mut`]`. Specifically, ...
It does not seem to have almost any false positives, from the experience
of enabling it in the Rust standard library [2], which will be checked
starting with Rust 1.82.0. The maintainers also confirmed it is ready
to be used.
Thus enable it.

In Rust 1.67.0, Clippy added the `unnecessary_safety_doc` lint [1],
which is similar to `unnecessary_safety_comment`, but for `# Safety`
sections, i.e. safety preconditions in the documentation.
This is something that should not happen with our coding guidelines in
mind. Thus enable the lint to have it machine-checked.

In Rust 1.67.0, Clippy added the `unnecessary_safety_comment` lint [1],
which is the "inverse" of `undocumented_unsafe_blocks`: it finds places
where safe code has a `// SAFETY` comment attached.
The lint currently finds 3 places where we had such mistakes, thus it
seems already quite useful.
Thus clean those and enable it.

Checking that we are not missing any `// SAFETY` comments in our `unsafe`
blocks is something we have wanted to do for a long time, as well as
cleaning up the remaining cases that were not documented [1].
Back when Rust for Linux started, this was something that could have
been done via a script, like Rust's `tidy`. Soon after, in Rust 1.58.0,
Clippy implemented the `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` lint [2].
Even though the lint has a few false positives, e.g. in some cases where
attributes appear between the comment and the `unsafe` block [3], there
are workarounds and the lint seems quite usable already.
Thus enable the lint now.
We still have a few cases to clean up, so just allow those for the moment
by writing a `TODO` comment -- some of those may be good candidates for
new contributors.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support 'MITIGATION_{RETHUNK,RETPOLINE,SLS}' (which cleans up
objtool warnings), teach objtool about 'noreturn' Rust symbols and
mimic '___ADDRESSABLE()' for 'module_{init,exit}'. With that, we
should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
object files.
- KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.
- Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
change.
- Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
machinery for that.
- Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
the RANDSTRUCT plugin.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.
This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
heterogeneous lists.
- New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
upcoming Rust Binder.
This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
(bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.
- 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.
- 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
introducing an associated type in the trait.
- 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.
- 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
'Pin<Box<T>>' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.
- 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
those.
Documentation:
- https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.
- Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.
- Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
the freeze period), so add it to the list.

If RUST_LIB_SRC is defined in the top-level Makefile (via an environment
variable or command line), it is already exported.
The only situation where it is defined but not exported is when the
top-level Makefile is wrapped by another Makefile (e.g., GNUmakefile).
I cannot think of any other use cases.
I know some people use this tip to define custom variables. However,
even in that case, you can export it directly in the wrapper Makefile.
Example GNUmakefile:
export RUST_LIB_SRC = /path/to/your/sysroot/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library
include Makefile

Create file module.builtin.ranges that can be used to find where
built-in modules are located by their addresses. This will be useful for
tracing tools to find what functions are for various built-in modules.
The offset range data for builtin modules is generated using:
- modules.builtin: associates object files with module names
- vmlinux.map: provides load order of sections and offset of first member
per section
- vmlinux.o.map: provides offset of object file content per section
- .*.cmd: build cmd file with KBUILD_MODFILE

For each ELF section, it lists the offset of the first symbol. This can
be used to determine the base address of the section at runtime.
Next, it lists (in strict ascending order) offset ranges in that section
that cover the symbols of one or more builtin modules. Multiple ranges
can apply to a single module, and ranges can be shared between modules.
The CONFIG_BUILTIN_MODULE_RANGES option controls whether offset range data
is generated for kernel modules that are built into the kernel image.
How it works:
1. The modules.builtin file is parsed to obtain a list of built-in
module names and their associated object names (the .ko file that
the module would be in if it were a loadable module, hereafter
referred to as <kmodfile>). This object name can be used to
identify objects in the kernel compile because any C or assembler
code that ends up into a built-in module will have the option
-DKBUILD_MODFILE=<kmodfile> present in its build command, and those
can be found in the .<obj>.cmd file in the kernel build tree.
If an object is part of multiple modules, they will all be listed
in the KBUILD_MODFILE option argument.
This allows us to conclusively determine whether an object in the
kernel build belong to any modules, and which.
2. The vmlinux.map is parsed next to determine the base address of each
top level section so that all addresses into the section can be
turned into offsets. This makes it possible to handle sections
getting loaded at different addresses at system boot.
We also determine an 'anchor' symbol at the beginning of each
section to make it possible to calculate the true base address of
a section at runtime (i.e. symbol address - symbol offset).
We collect start addresses of sections that are included in the top
level section. This is used when vmlinux is linked using vmlinux.o,
because in that case, we need to look at the vmlinux.o linker map to
know what object a symbol is found in.
And finally, we process each symbol that is listed in vmlinux.map
(or vmlinux.o.map) based on the following structure:
vmlinux linked from vmlinux.a:
vmlinux.map:
<top level section>
<included section> -- might be same as top level section)
<object> -- built-in association known
<symbol> -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
...
vmlinux linked from vmlinux.o:
vmlinux.map:
<top level section>
<included section> -- might be same as top level section)
vmlinux.o -- need to use vmlinux.o.map
<symbol> -- ignored
...
vmlinux.o.map:
<section>
<object> -- built-in association known
<symbol> -- belongs to module(s) object belongs to
...
3. As sections, objects, and symbols are processed, offset ranges are
constructed in a straight-forward way:
- If the symbol belongs to one or more built-in modules:
- If we were working on the same module(s), extend the range
to include this object
- If we were working on another module(s), close that range,
and start the new one
- If the symbol does not belong to any built-in modules:
- If we were working on a module(s) range, close that range

Make it possible to use the Control Flow Integrity (CFI) sanitizer when
Rust is enabled. Enabling CFI with Rust requires that CFI is configured
to normalize integer types so that all integer types of the same size
and signedness are compatible under CFI.
Rust and C use the same LLVM backend for code generation, so Rust KCFI
is compatible with the KCFI used in the kernel for C. In the case of
FineIBT, CFI also depends on -Zpatchable-function-entry for rewriting
the function prologue, so we set that flag for Rust as well. The flag
for FineIBT requires rustc 1.80.0 or later, so include a Kconfig
requirement for that.
Enabling Rust will select CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS because the flag
is required to use Rust with CFI. Using select rather than `depends on`
avoids the case where Rust is not visible in menuconfig due to
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS not being enabled. One disadvantage of
select is that RUST must `depends on` all of the things that
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS depends on to avoid invalid configurations.
Alice has been using KCFI on her phone for several months, so it is
reasonably well tested on arm64.

Introduce a Kconfig option for enabling the experimental option to
normalize integer types. This ensures that integer types of the same
size and signedness are considered compatible by the Control Flow
Integrity sanitizer.
The security impact of this flag is minimal. When Sami Tolvanen looked
into it, he found that integer normalization reduced the number of
unique type hashes in the kernel by ~1%, which is acceptable.
This option exists for compatibility with Rust, as C and Rust do not
have the same set of integer types. There are cases where C has two
different integer types of the same size and signedness, but Rust only
has one integer type of that size and signedness. When Rust calls into
C functions using such types in their signature, this results in CFI
failures. One example is 'unsigned long long' and 'unsigned long' which
are both 64-bit on LP64 targets, so on those targets this flag will give
both types the same CFI tag.
This flag changes the ABI heavily. It is not applied automatically when
CONFIG_RUST is turned on to make sure that the CONFIG_RUST option does
not change the ABI of C code. For example, some build may need to make
other changes atomically with toggling this flag. Having it be a
separate option makes it possible to first turn on normalized integer
tags, and then later turn on CONFIG_RUST.
Similarly, when turning on CONFIG_RUST in a build, you may need a few
attempts where the RUST=y commit gets reverted a few times. It is
inconvenient if reverting RUST=y also requires reverting the changes you
made to support normalized integer tags.
To avoid having this flag impact builds that don't care about this, the
next patch in this series will make CONFIG_RUST turn on this option
using `select` rather than `depends on`.

Add all of the flags that are needed to support the shadow call stack
(SCS) sanitizer with Rust, and updates Kconfig to allow only
configurations that work.
The -Zfixed-x18 flag is required to use SCS on arm64, and requires rustc
version 1.80.0 or greater. This restriction is reflected in Kconfig.
When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_SCS is enabled, the build will be configured to
include unwind tables in the build artifacts. Dynamic SCS uses the
unwind tables at boot to find all places that need to be patched. The
-Cforce-unwind-tables=y flag ensures that unwind tables are available
for Rust code.
In non-dynamic mode, the -Zsanitizer=shadow-call-stack flag is what
enables the SCS sanitizer. Using this flag requires rustc version 1.82.0
or greater on the targets used by Rust in the kernel. This restriction
is reflected in Kconfig.
It is possible to avoid the requirement of rustc 1.80.0 by using
-Ctarget-feature=+reserve-x18 instead of -Zfixed-x18. However, this flag
emits a warning during the build, so this patch does not add support for
using it and instead requires 1.80.0 or greater.
The dependency is placed on `select HAVE_RUST` to avoid a situation
where enabling Rust silently turns off the sanitizer. Instead, turning
on the sanitizer results in Rust being disabled. We generally do not
want changes to CONFIG_RUST to result in any mitigations being changed
or turned off.
At the time of writing, rustc 1.82.0 only exists via the nightly release
channel. There is a chance that the -Zsanitizer=shadow-call-stack flag
will end up needing 1.83.0 instead, but I think it is small.

Re-run Kconfig if we detect the Rust compiler has changed via the version
text, like it is done for C.
Unlike C, and unlike `RUSTC_VERSION`, the `RUSTC_VERSION_TEXT` is kept
under `depends on RUST`, since it should not be needed unless `RUST`
is enabled.

Support for several Rust compiler versions started in commit 63b27f4a0074
("rust: start supporting several compiler versions"). Since we currently
need to use a number of unstable features in the kernel, it is a matter
of time until one gets stabilized and the `stable_features` lint warns.
For instance, the `new_uninit` feature may become stable soon, which
would give us multiple warnings like the following:
warning: the feature `new_uninit` has been stable since 1.82.0-dev
and no longer requires an attribute to enable
--> rust/kernel/lib.rs:17:12
|
17 | #![feature(new_uninit)]
| ^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(stable_features)]` on by default
Thus allow the `stable_features` lint to avoid such warnings. This is
the simplest approach -- we do not have that many cases (and the goal
is to stop using unstable features anyway) and cleanups can be easily
done when we decide to update the minimum version.
An alternative would be to conditionally enable them based on the
compiler version (with the upcoming `RUSTC_VERSION` or maybe with the
unstable `cfg(version(...))`, but that one apparently will not work for
the nightly case). However, doing so is more complex and may not work
well for different nightlies of the same version, unless we do not care
about older nightlies.
Another alternative is using explicit tests of the feature calling
`rustc`, but that is also more complex and slower.

not really matter, but developers may call `make` with jobs enabled in
all cases.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust
toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'.
The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e.
we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable
Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow),
plus beta, plus nightly.
This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions
that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch
Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux,
Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and
openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed.
In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge
CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust
compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it
passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in
their CI too.
Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid
unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that,
in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will
need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust
compiler versions should generally work.
In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into
stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three
flagship goals for 2024H2 [1].
I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help
promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel.
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Support several Rust toolchain versions.
- Support several bindgen versions.
- Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to

pacman is the package manager used by Arch Linux and its derivates.
Creating native packages from the kernel tree has multiple advantages:
* The package triggers the correct hooks for initramfs generation and
bootloader configuration
* Uninstallation is complete and also invokes the relevant hooks
* New UAPI headers can be installed without any manual bookkeeping
The PKGBUILD file is a modified version of the one used for the
downstream Arch Linux "linux" package.
Extra steps that should not be necessary for a development kernel have

out of Kbuild. The build system under tools/ is a cheesy replica, and
cause issues. I was recently poked about a problem in the tools build

Without a comment, people might believe this is the right location
because that is where objtool lives, even if a more robust Kbuild
