Is this waiting for anything before being stabilized?

lilasta · 2022-03-06T03:30:19Z

Yes. This is waiting for const_ptr_write(#86302) and const_maybe_uninit_as_mut_ptr(#75251).

Make `MaybeUninit::zeroed` const stable. Newly stable API: // core::mem, std::mem impl<T> MaybeUninit<T> { pub const fn zeroed() -> MaybeUninit<T>; } Tracking issue: rust-lang#91850

Make `MaybeUninit::zeroed` const stable. Newly stable API: // core::mem impl<T> MaybeUninit<T> { pub const fn zeroed() -> MaybeUninit<T>; } Use of `const_mut_refs` should be acceptable since we do not leak the mutability. Tracking issue: rust-lang#91850

Could someone with a use case for this please help out with a compelling example for the docs in #116218 (review)? Thanks!

…r=dtolnay Stabilize `const_maybe_uninit_zeroed` and `const_mem_zeroed` Make `MaybeUninit::zeroed` and `mem::zeroed` const stable. Newly stable API: ```rust // core::mem pub const unsafe fn zeroed<T>() ->; impl<T> MaybeUninit<T> { pub const fn zeroed() -> MaybeUninit<T>; } ``` This relies on features based around `const_mut_refs`. Per `@RalfJung,` this should be OK since we do not leak any `&mut` to the user. For this to be possible, intrinsics `assert_zero_valid` and `assert_mem_uninitialized_valid` were made const stable.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.74.1 to 1.75.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features The `const_maybe_uninit_zeroed` unstable feature [3] was stabilized in Rust 1.75.0, which we were using in the PHYLIB abstractions. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [4] for details. # Other improvements Rust 1.75.0 stabilized `pointer_byte_offsets` [5] which we could potentially use as an alternative for `ptr_metadata` in the future. # Required changes For this upgrade, no changes were required (i.e. on our side). # `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.

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.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.74.1 to 1.75.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). The `const_maybe_uninit_zeroed` unstable feature [3] was stabilized in Rust 1.75.0, which we were using in the PHYLIB abstractions. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [4] for details. Rust 1.75.0 stabilized `pointer_byte_offsets` [5] which we could potentially use as an alternative for `ptr_metadata` in the future. For this upgrade, no changes were required (i.e. on our side). 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.
