docs: add Rust documentation Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module (e.g. drivers) written across the kernel. However, these documents contain general information that does not fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide. It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the documentation folder.

docs: rust: add section on imports formatting `rustfmt`, by default, formats imports in a way that is prone to conflicts while merging and rebasing, since in some cases it condenses several items into the same line. For instance, Linus mentioned [1] that the following case: use crate::{ fmt, page::AsPageIter, }; is compressed by `rustfmt` into: use crate::{fmt, page::AsPageIter}; which is undesirable. Similarly, `rustfmt` may put several items in the same line even if the braces span already multiple lines, e.g.: use kernel::{ acpi, c_str, device::{property, Core}, of, platform, }; The options that control the formatting behavior around imports are generally unstable, and `rustfmt` releases do not allow to use nightly features, unlike the compiler and other Rust tooling [2]. For the moment, we can introduce a workaround to prevent `rustfmt` from compressing the example above -- the "trailing empty comment": use crate::{ fmt, page::AsPageIter, // }; which is reminiscent of the trailing comma behavior in other formatters. We already used empty comments for formatting purposes in the past, e.g. in commit b9b701fce49a ("rust: clarify the language unstable features in use"). In addition, `rustfmt` actually reformats with a vertical layout (i.e. it does not put two items in the same line) when seeing such a comment, i.e. it doesn't just preserve the formatting, which is good in the sense that we can use it to easily reformat some imports, since it matches the style we generally want to have. A Git merge driver would help (suggested by Gary and Wedson), though maintainers would need to set it up, the diffs would still be larger and the formatting rules for imports would remain hard to predict. Thus document the style that we will follow in the coding guidelines by introducing a new section and explain how the trailing empty comment works there too. We discussed the issue with upstream Rust in our usual Rust <-> Rust for Linux meeting [3], and there have also been a few other discussions in parallel in issues [4][5] and Zulip [6]. We will see what happens, but upstream Rust has already created a subteam of `rustfmt` to try to overcome the bandwidth issue [7], which is a good signal, and some organization work has already started (e.g. tracking issues). We will continue our discussions with them about it.

docs: rust: explain that `///` vs. `//` applies to private items too Sometimes kernel developers use `//` for documenting private items, since those do not get rendered at the moment. That is reasonable, but the intention behind `///` (and `//!`) vs. `//` is to convey the distinction between documentation and other kinds of comments, such as implementation details or TODOs. It also increases consistency with the public items and thus e.g. allows to change visibility of an item with less changes involved. It is not just useful for human readers, but also tooling. For instance, we may want to eventually generate documentation for private items (perhaps as a toggle in the HTML UI). On top of that, `rustdoc` lints as usual for those, too, so we may want to do it even if we do not use the result. Thus document this explicitly.

docs: add Rust documentation Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module (e.g. drivers) written across the kernel. However, these documents contain general information that does not fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide. It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the documentation folder.

rust: support `srctree`-relative links Some of our links use relative paths in order to point to files in the source tree, e.g.: //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](../../../../include/linux/printk.h) /// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h These are problematic because they are hard to maintain and do not support `O=` builds. Instead, provide support for `srctree`-relative links, e.g.: //! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](srctree/include/linux/printk.h) /// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h The links are fixed after `rustdoc` generation to be based on the absolute path to the source tree.

rust: add C FFI types to the prelude Rust kernel code is supposed to use the custom mapping of C FFI types, i.e. those from the `ffi` crate, rather than the ones coming from `core`. Thus, to minimize mistakes and to simplify the code everywhere, just provide them in the `kernel` prelude and ask in the Coding Guidelines to use them directly, i.e. as a single segment path. After this lands, we can start cleaning up the existing users. Ideally, we would use something like Clippy's `disallowed-types` to prevent the use of the `core` ones, but that one sees through aliases.

Documentation: rust: add coding guidelines on lints In the C side, disabling diagnostics locally, i.e. within the source code, is rare (at least in the kernel). Sometimes warnings are manipulated via the flags at the translation unit level, but that is about it. In Rust, it is easier to change locally the "level" of lints (e.g. allowing them locally). In turn, this means it is easier to globally enable more lints that may trigger a few false positives here and there that need to be allowed locally, but that generally can spot issues or bugs. Thus document this.
