rust: kunit: support KUnit-mapped `assert!` macros in `#[test]`s The KUnit `#[test]` support that landed recently is very basic and does not map the `assert*!` macros into KUnit like the doctests do, so they panic at the moment. Thus implement the custom mapping in a similar way to doctests, reusing the infrastructure there. In Rust 1.88.0, the `file()` method in `Span` may be stable [1]. However, it was changed recently (from `SourceFile`), so we need to do something different in previous versions. Thus create a helper for it and use it to get the path. With this, a failing test suite like: #[kunit_tests(my_test_suite)] mod tests { use super::*; #[test] fn my_first_test() { assert_eq!(42, 43); } #[test] fn my_second_test() { assert!(42 >= 43); } } will properly map back to KUnit, printing something like: [ 1.924325] KTAP version 1 [ 1.924421] # Subtest: my_test_suite [ 1.924506] # speed: normal [ 1.924525] 1..2 [ 1.926385] # my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251 [ 1.926385] Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false [ 1.928026] # my_first_test.speed: normal [ 1.928075] not ok 1 my_first_test [ 1.928723] # my_second_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:256 [ 1.928723] Expected 42 >= 43 to be true, but is false [ 1.929834] # my_second_test.speed: normal [ 1.929868] not ok 2 my_second_test [ 1.930032] # my_test_suite: pass:0 fail:2 skip:0 total:2 [ 1.930153] # Totals: pass:0 fail:2 skip:0 total Link: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140514 [1] Reviewed-by: David Gow <davidgow@google.com> Acked-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250502215133.1923676-2-ojeda@kernel.org [ Required `KUNIT=y` like for doctests.

rust: add #[export] macro Rust has two different tools for generating function declarations to call across the FFI boundary: * bindgen. Generates Rust declarations from a C header. * cbindgen. Generates C headers from Rust declarations. However, we only use bindgen in the kernel. This means that when C code calls a Rust function by name, its signature must be duplicated in both Rust code and a C header, and the signature needs to be kept in sync manually. Introducing cbindgen as a mandatory dependency to build the kernel would be a rather complex and large change, so we do not consider that at this time. Instead, to eliminate this manual checking, introduce a new macro that verifies at compile time that the two function declarations use the same signature. The idea is to run the C declaration through bindgen, and then have rustc verify that the function pointers have the same type. The signature must still be written twice, but at least you can no longer get it wrong. If the signatures don't match, you will get errors that look like this: error[E0308]: `if` and `else` have incompatible types --> <linux>/rust/kernel/print.rs:22:22 | 21 | #[export] | --------- expected because of this 22 | unsafe extern "C" fn rust_fmt_argument( | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `u8`, found `i8` | = note: expected fn item `unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut u8, *mut u8, *mut c_void) -> *mut u8 {bindings::rust_fmt_argument}` found fn item `unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut i8, *mut i8, *const c_void) -> *mut i8 {print::rust_fmt_argument}` It is unfortunate that the error message starts out by saying "`if` and `else` have incompatible types", but I believe the rest of the error message is reasonably clear and not too confusing.

rust: macros: add `paste!` proc macro This macro provides a flexible way to concatenated identifiers together and it allows the resulting identifier to be used to declare new items, which `concat_idents!` does not allow. It also allows identifiers to be transformed before concatenated. The `concat_idents!` example let x_1 = 42; let x_2 = concat_idents!(x, _1); assert!(x_1 == x_2); can be written with `paste!` macro like this: let x_1 = 42; let x_2 = paste!([<x _1>]); assert!(x_1 == x_2); However `paste!` macro is more flexible because it can be used to create a new variable: let x_1 = 42; paste!(let [<x _2>] = [<x _1>];); assert!(x_1 == x_2); While this is not possible with `concat_idents!`. This macro is similar to the `paste!` crate [1], but this is a fresh implementation to avoid vendoring large amount of code directly. Also, I have augmented it to provide a way to specify span of the resulting token, allowing precise control. For example, this code is broken because the variable is declared inside the macro, so Rust macro hygiene rules prevents access from the outside: macro_rules! m { ($id: ident) => { // The resulting token has hygiene of the macro. paste!(let [<$id>] = 1;) } } m!(a); let _ = a; In this version of `paste!` macro I added a `span` modifier to allow this: macro_rules! m { ($id: ident) => { // The resulting token has hygiene of `$id`. paste!(let [<$id:span>] = 1;) } } m!(a); let _ = a; Link: http://docs.rs/paste/ [1] Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> Reviewed-by: Björn Roy Baron <bjorn3_gh@protonmail.com> Reviewed-by: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Martin Rodriguez Reboredo <yakoyoku@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230628171108.1150742-1-gary@garyguo.net [ Added SPDX license identifier as discussed in the list and fixed typo. ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

This macro is similar to the `paste!` crate [1], but this is a fresh implementation to avoid vendoring large amount of code directly. Also, I have augmented it to provide a way to specify span of the resulting token, allowing precise control. For example, this code is broken because the variable is declared inside the macro, so Rust macro hygiene rules prevents access from the outside: macro_rules! m { ($id: ident) => { // The resulting token has hygiene of the macro. paste!(let [<$id>] = 1;) } } m!(a); let _ = a; In this version of `paste!` macro I added a `span` modifier to allow this: macro_rules! m { ($id: ident) => { // The resulting token has hygiene of `$id`. paste!(let [<$id:span>] = 1;) } } m!(a); let _ = a; Link: http://docs.rs/paste/ [1] Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> Reviewed-by: Björn Roy Baron <bjorn3_gh@protonmail.com> Reviewed-by: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Martin Rodriguez Reboredo <yakoyoku@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230628171108.1150742-1-gary@garyguo.net [ Added SPDX license identifier as discussed in the list and fixed typo. ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

rust: macros: add `paste!` proc macro This macro provides a flexible way to concatenated identifiers together and it allows the resulting identifier to be used to declare new items, which `concat_idents!` does not allow. It also allows identifiers to be transformed before concatenated. The `concat_idents!` example let x_1 = 42; let x_2 = concat_idents!(x, _1); assert!(x_1 == x_2); can be written with `paste!` macro like this: let x_1 = 42; let x_2 = paste!([<x _1>]); assert!(x_1 == x_2); However `paste!` macro is more flexible because it can be used to create a new variable: let x_1 = 42; paste!(let [<x _2>] = [<x _1>];); assert!(x_1 == x_2); While this is not possible with `concat_idents!`.
