This picks up from Michal Rostecki's work[0]. Per Michal's guidance I have omitted Co-authored tags, as the end result is quite different. This series is intended to be taken through rust-next. The final patch in the series requires some other subsystems' `Acked-by`s: - rust/kernel/device.rs: driver-core. Already acked by gregkh. - rust/kernel/firmware.rs: driver-core. Danilo, could you take a look? - rust/kernel/seq_file.rs: vfs, I think? missing MAINTAINERS entry. Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx>, perhaps? - rust/kernel/sync/*: no clear owner, probably doesn't need any. This series depends on steps 2a[1] and 2b[2] which both depend on step 1[3].

(Benno Lossin) - Add patch to remove trailing commas from samples/rust/rust_driver_platform.rs. - Link to v14: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250710-cstr-core-v14-0-ca7e0ca82c82@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v14: - Break the change into multiple series. - Move `CStr` reexport to `kernel::ffi`. (Alice Ryhl) - `pub use core::fmt::{....}` in `kernel/fmt.rs`. (Benno Lossin) - Avoid unnecessary binding to `first_lit` in `fmt!`. (Benno Lossin) - Add comment to `identifier`-extracting loop. (Benno Lossin) - Change `quote_spanned!` formatting. (Benno Lossin) - Link to v13: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250701-cstr-core-v13-0-29f7d3eb97a6@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v13: - Rebase on v6.16-rc4. - Link to v12: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250619-cstr-core-v12-0-80c9c7b45900@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v12: - Introduce `kernel::fmt::Display` to allow implementations on foreign types. - Tidy up doc comment on `str_to_cstr`. (Alice Ryhl). - Link to v11: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250530-cstr-core-v11-0-cd9c0cbcb902@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v11: - Use `quote_spanned!` to avoid `use<'a, T>` and generally reduce manual token construction. - Add a commit to simplify `quote_spanned!`. - Drop first commit in favor of https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240906164448.2268368-1-paddymills@xxxxxxxxx/. (Miguel Ojeda) - Correctly handle expressions such as `pr_info!("{a}", a = a = a)`. (Benno Lossin) - Avoid dealing with `}}` escapes, which is not needed. (Benno Lossin) - Revert some unnecessary changes. (Benno Lossin) - Rename `c_str_avoid_literals!` to `str_to_cstr!`. (Benno Lossin & Alice Ryhl). - Link to v10: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250524-cstr-core-v10-0-6412a94d9d75@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v10: - Rebase on cbeaa41dfe26b72639141e87183cb23e00d4b0dd. - Implement Alice's suggestion to use a proc macro to work around orphan rules otherwise preventing `core::ffi::CStr` to be directly printed with `{}`. - Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250317-cstr-core-v9-0-51d6cc522f62@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v9: - Rebase on rust-next. - Restore `impl Display for BStr` which exists upstream[1]. - Link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/bstr/struct.ByteStr.html#impl-Display-for-ByteStr [1] - Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250203-cstr-core-v8-0-cb3f26e78686@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v8: - Move `{from,as}_char_ptr` back to `CStrExt`. This reduces the diff some. - Restore `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut`, `to_cstring`. - Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v7-0-da1802520438@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v7: - Rebased on mainline. - Restore functionality added in commit a321f3ad0a5d ("rust: str: add {make,to}_{upper,lower}case() to CString"). - Used `diff.algorithm patience` to improve diff readability. - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v6-0-8469cd6d29fd@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v6: - Split the work into several commits for ease of review. - Restore `{from,as}_char_ptr` to allow building on ARM (see commit message). - Add `CStrExt` to `kernel::prelude`. (Alice Ryhl) - Remove `CStrExt::from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut` and restore `DerefMut for CString`. (Alice Ryhl) - Rename and hide `kernel::c_str!` to encourage use of C-String literals. - Drop implementation and invocation changes in kunit.rs. (Trevor Gross) - Drop docs on `Display` impl. (Trevor Gross) - Rewrite docs in the style of the standard library. - Restore the `test_cstr_debug` unit tests to demonstrate that the implementation has changed. Changes in v5: - Keep the `test_cstr_display*` unit tests. Changes in v4: - Provide the `CStrExt` trait with `display()` method, which returns a `CStrDisplay` wrapper with `Display` implementation. This addresses the lack of `Display` implementation for `core::ffi::CStr`. - Provide `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut()` method in `CStrExt`, which might be useful and is going to prevent manual, unsafe casts. - Fix a typo (s/preffered/prefered/). Changes in v3: - Fix the commit message. - Remove redundant braces in `use`, when only one item is imported. Changes in v2: - Do not remove `c_str` macro. While it's preferred to use C-string literals, there are two cases where `c_str` is helpful: - When working with macros, which already return a Rust string literal (e.g. `stringify!`). - When building macros, where we want to take a Rust string literal as an argument (for caller's convenience), but still use it as a C-string internally. - Use Rust literals as arguments in macros (`new_mutex`, `new_condvar`, `new_mutex`). Use the `c_str` macro to convert these literals to C-string literals. - Use `c_str` in kunit.rs for converting the output of `stringify!` to a `CStr`. - Remove `DerefMut` implementation for `CString`. --- Tamir Duberstein (4): rust: macros: reduce collections in `quote!` macro samples: rust: platform: remove trailing commas rust: support formatting of foreign types rust: replace `CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr` rust/ffi.rs | 2 + rust/kernel/device.rs | 1 + rust/kernel/error.rs | 2 + rust/kernel/firmware.rs | 9 +- rust/kernel/fmt.rs | 87 +++++++- rust/kernel/prelude.rs | 7 +- rust/kernel/seq_file.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/str.rs | 395 ++++++++--------------------------- rust/kernel/sync/condvar.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/sync/lock.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/sync/lock/global.rs | 2 +- rust/macros/fmt.rs | 94 +++++++++ rust/macros/lib.rs | 19 ++ rust/macros/quote.rs | 111 +++++----- samples/rust/rust_driver_platform.rs | 4 +- 15 files changed, 367 insertions(+), 372 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 8f5ae30d69d7543eee0d70083daf4de8fe15d585 change-id: 20250201-cstr-core-d4b9b69120cf prerequisite-message-id: 20250813-core-cstr-fanout-1-v3-0-545c14bc44ff@xxxxxxxxx prerequisite-patch-id: 0ccc3545ff9bf22a67b79a944705cef2fb9c2bbf prerequisite-patch-id: b1866166714606d5c11a4d7506abe4c2f86dac8d prerequisite-patch-id: b575ae9ef33020b691c8c5a17bd1985676519e14 prerequisite-patch-id: 8fee5e2daf0749362331dad4fc63d907a01b14e9 prerequisite-patch-id: 366ef1f93fb40b1d039768f2041ff79995e7e228 prerequisite-patch-id: 1d350291f9292f910081856d8f7d5e4d9545cfd1 prerequisite-patch-id: 9a6a60bd2b209126de64c16a77a3a1d229dd898c prerequisite-patch-id: 08ae5855768ec3b4c68272b86d2a0e0667c9aa47 prerequisite-patch-id: 801be981c2346617fa9412498930b68dc784693b prerequisite-patch-id: f0dbf0a55a27fe8e199e242d1f79ea800d1ddb66 prerequisite-patch-id: c0b4abb4d44f7e63d002d0bfe5239296930c183e prerequisite-message-id: 20250813-core-cstr-fanout-1-v3-0-a15eca059c51@xxxxxxxxx prerequisite-patch-id: 6711f2a2f25c12784057aa725a9482feef6bb6f0 prerequisite-patch-id: 3b5144133c0e239e0a258c9aa4da0df2dd464e66 prerequisite-patch-id: 589a352ba7f7c9aefefd84dfd3b6b20e290b0d14 prerequisite-patch-id: 2a4b0b9170e25637b9eba0e516863bdcdb4149a8 prerequisite-patch-id: 3d89601bba1fb01d190b0ba415b28ad9cbf1e209 prerequisite-patch-id: 10923aebf24011b727f60496c0f9e0ad57e0a967 prerequisite-patch-id: 9a7e8ba460358985147efd347658be31fbc78ba2 prerequisite-patch-id: f79b8755f3d75effc581d09eafe5725043516aad prerequisite-patch-id: d598958c2d64dcb56a5cd64b088594be51b1d752 Best regards, -- Tamir Duberstein <tamird@xxxxxxxxx>
