Alice reported [1] that an arm64 build failed with:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __extendsfdf2
>>> referenced by core.a6f5fc5794e7b7b3-cgu.0
>>> rust/core.o:(<f32>::midpoint) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced by core.a6f5fc5794e7b7b3-cgu.0
>>> rust/core.o:(<f32>::midpoint) in archive vmlinux.a
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __truncdfsf2
>>> referenced by core.a6f5fc5794e7b7b3-cgu.0
>>> rust/core.o:(<f32>::midpoint) in archive vmlinux.a
Rust 1.80.0 or later together with `CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y`
is what triggers it.
In addition, x86_64 builds also fail the same way.
Similarly, compiling with Rust 1.82.0 (currently in nightly) makes
another one appear, possibly due to the LLVM 19 upgrade there:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __eqdf2
>>> referenced by core.20495ea57a9f069d-cgu.0
>>> rust/core.o:(<f64>::next_up) in archive vmlinux.a
>>> referenced by core.20495ea57a9f069d-cgu.0
>>> rust/core.o:(<f64>::next_down) in archive vmlinux.a
Gary adds [1]:
> Usually the fix on rustc side is to mark those functions as `#[inline]`
>
> All of {midpoint,next_up,next_down} are indeed unstable functions not
> marked as inline...
Fix all those by adding those intrinsics to our usual workaround.
[ Trevor quickly submitted a fix to upstream Rust [2] that has already
been merged, to be released in Rust 1.82.0 (2024-10-17). - Miguel ]

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.72.1 to 1.73.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].
See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4da0 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").
# Unstable features
No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.
Therefore, the only unstable feature allowed to be used outside
the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`, though other code to be
upstreamed may increase the list.
Please see [3] for details.
# Required changes
For the upgrade, the following changes are required:
- Allow `internal_features` for `feature(compiler_builtins)` since
now Rust warns about using internal compiler and standard library
features (similar to how it also warns about incomplete ones) [4].
- A cleanup for a documentation link thanks to a new `rustdoc` lint.
See previous commits for details.
- A need to make an intra-doc link to a macro explicit, due to a
change in behavior in `rustdoc`. See previous commits for details.
# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing
The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.
There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.
Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.
Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.
To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:
# Get the difference with respect to the old version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
# Apply this patch.
git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch
# Get the difference with respect to the new version.
git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
cut -d/ -f3- |
grep -Fv README.md |
xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
git -C linux restore rust/alloc
Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

# Required changes
For the upgrade, this patch requires the following changes:
- Removal of the `__rust_*` allocator functions, together with
the addition of the `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` static.
See [3] for details.
- Some more compiler builtins added due to `<f{32,64}>::midpoint()`
that got added in Rust 1.71 [4].

Currently we define a number of stubs for compiler-builtin intrinsics
that compiled libcore generates. The defined stubs are weak so they will
not conflict with genuine implementation of these intrinsics, but their
effect is global and will cause non-libcore code that accidently
generate these intrinsics calls compile and bug on runtime.
Instead of defining a stub that can affect all code, this patch uses
objcopy's `--redefine-sym` flag to redirect these calls (from libcore
only) to a prefixed version (e.g. redirect `__multi3` to `__rust_multi3`),
so we can define panciking stubs that are only visible to libcore.
This patch was previously discussed on GitHub [1]. This approach was also
independently proposed by Nick Desaulniers in [2].

Rust provides `compiler_builtins` as a port of LLVM's `compiler-rt`.
Since we do not need the vast majority of them, we avoid the
dependency by providing our own crate.
