rust: add `bindings` crate This crate contains the bindings to the C side of the kernel. Calling C (in general, FFI) is assumed to be unsafe in Rust and, in many cases, this is accurate. For instance, virtually all C functions that take a pointer are unsafe since, typically, it will be dereferenced at some point (and in most cases there is no way for the callee to check its validity beforehand). Since one of the goals of using Rust in the kernel is precisely to avoid unsafe code in "leaf" kernel modules (e.g. drivers), these bindings should not be used directly by them. Instead, these bindings need to be wrapped into safe abstractions. These abstractions provide a safe API that kernel modules can use. In this way, unsafe code in kernel modules is minimized.

rust: allow `dead_code` for never constructed bindings Starting with the upcoming Rust 1.80.0 (since upstream commit 35130d7233e9 ("Detect pub structs never constructed and unused associated constants in traits")), the `dead_code` pass detects more cases, which triggers in the `bindings` crate: warning: struct `boot_params` is never constructed --> rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs:10684:12 | 10684 | pub struct boot_params { | ^^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: `#[warn(dead_code)]` on by default As well as in the `uapi` one: warning: struct `boot_params` is never constructed --> rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs:10392:12 | 10392 | pub struct boot_params { | ^^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: `#[warn(dead_code)]` on by default These are all expected, since we do not use all the structs in the bindings that `bindgen` generates from the C headers. Therefore, allow them.

rust: enable `clippy::cast_lossless` lint Before Rust 1.29.0, Clippy introduced the `cast_lossless` lint [1]: > Rust’s `as` keyword will perform many kinds of conversions, including > silently lossy conversions. Conversion functions such as `i32::from` > will only perform lossless conversions. Using the conversion functions > prevents conversions from becoming silently lossy if the input types > ever change, and makes it clear for people reading the code that the > conversion is lossless. While this doesn't eliminate unchecked `as` conversions, it makes such conversions easier to scrutinize. It also has the slight benefit of removing a degree of freedom on which to bikeshed. Thus apply the changes and enable the lint -- no functional change intended.

rust: enable `clippy::ptr_as_ptr` lint In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_as_ptr` lint [1]: > Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible, > `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the > pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`. There are a few classes of changes required: - Modules generated by bindgen are marked `#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`. - Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`. - Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::<T>()`. - Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::<T>` according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is required because `(x as *const _).cast::<T>()` results in inference failure. - Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`. - `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing.

rust: enable `clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks` lint Checking that we are not missing any `// SAFETY` comments in our `unsafe` blocks is something we have wanted to do for a long time, as well as cleaning up the remaining cases that were not documented [1]. Back when Rust for Linux started, this was something that could have been done via a script, like Rust's `tidy`. Soon after, in Rust 1.58.0, Clippy implemented the `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` lint [2]. Even though the lint has a few false positives, e.g. in some cases where attributes appear between the comment and the `unsafe` block [3], there are workarounds and the lint seems quite usable already. Thus enable the lint now. We still have a few cases to clean up, so just allow those for the moment by writing a `TODO` comment -- some of those may be good candidates for new contributors.

rust: clean Rust 1.88.0's `unnecessary_transmutes` lint Starting with Rust 1.88.0 (expected 2025-06-26) [1][2], `rustc` may introduce a new lint that catches unnecessary transmutes, e.g.: error: unnecessary transmute --> rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs:23242:18 | 23242 | unsafe { ::core::mem::transmute(self._bitfield_1.get(0usize, 1u8) as u8) } | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: replace this with: `(self._bitfield_1.get(0usize, 1u8) as u8 == 1)` | = note: `-D unnecessary-transmutes` implied by `-D warnings` = help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(unnecessary_transmutes)]` There are a lot of them (at least 300), but luckily they are all in `bindgen`-generated code. Thus clean all up by allowing it there. Since unknown lints trigger a lint itself in older compilers, do it conditionally so that we can keep the `unknown_lints` lint enabled.

rust: derive `Zeroable` for all structs & unions generated by bindgen where possible Using the `--with-derive-custom-{struct,union}` option of bindgen, add `#[derive(MaybeZeroable)]` to every struct & union. This makes those types implement `Zeroable` if all their fields implement it. Sadly bindgen doesn't add custom derives to the `__BindgenBitfieldUnit` struct. So manually implement `Zeroable` for that.

rust: map `__kernel_size_t` and friends also to usize/isize Currently bindgen has special logic to recognise `size_t` and `ssize_t` and map them to Rust `usize` and `isize`. Similarly, `ptrdiff_t` is mapped to `isize`. However this falls short for `__kernel_size_t`, `__kernel_ssize_t` and `__kernel_ptrdiff_t`. To ensure that they are mapped to usize/isize rather than 32/64 integers depending on platform, blocklist them in bindgen parameters and manually provide their definition.
