Boqun Feng a5a3c952e8 rust: macros: provide correct provenance when constructing THIS_MODULE ... Currently while defining `THIS_MODULE` symbol in `module!()`, the pointer used to construct `ThisModule` is derived from an immutable reference of `__this_module`, which means the pointer doesn't have the provenance for writing, and that means any write to that pointer is UB regardless of data races or not. However, the usage of `THIS_MODULE` includes passing this pointer to functions that may write to it (probably in unsafe code), and this will create soundness issues. One way to fix this is using `addr_of_mut!()` but that requires the unstable feature "const_mut_refs". So instead of `addr_of_mut()!`, an extern static `Opaque` is used here: since `Opaque<T>` is transparent to `T`, an extern static `Opaque` will just wrap the C symbol (defined in a C compile unit) in an `Opaque`, which provides a pointer with writable provenance via `Opaque::get()`. This fix the potential UBs because of pointer provenance unmatched.
