Linus Torvalds 910bfc26d1 Rust changes for v6.11
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 3 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 'alloc'
    having been dropped last cycle.
 
  - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target.
 
 'kernel' crate:
 
  - Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction.
 
  - Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction.
 
  - Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!' macro.
 
 'macros' crate:
 
  - Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro.
 
  - Improve 'module!' macro documentation.
 
 Documentation:
 
  - Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build
    the kernel in some popular Linux distributions.
 
  - Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains.
 
  - Explain '#[no_std]'.
 
 And a few other small bits.
