rust: helpers: #define __rust_helper
Because of LLVM inling checks, it's generally not possible to inline a C
helper into Rust code, even with LTO:
* LLVM doesn't want to inline functions compiled with
`-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks` with code compiled without. The C
CGUs all have this enabled and Rust CGUs don't. Inlining is okay since
this is one of the hardening features that does not change the ABI,
and we shouldn't have null pointer dereferences in these helpers.
* LLVM doesn't want to inline functions with different list of builtins. C
side has `-fno-builtin-wcslen`; `wcslen` is not a Rust builtin, so
they should be compatible, but LLVM does not perform inlining due to
attributes mismatch.
* clang and Rust doesn't have the exact target string. Clang generates
`+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` but Rust doesn't enable them (in fact, Rust will
complain if `-Ctarget-feature=+cmov,+cx8,+fxsr` is used). x86-64
always enable these features, so they are in fact the same target
string, but LLVM doesn't understand this and so inlining is inhibited.
This can be bypassed with `--ignore-tti-inline-compatible`, but this
is a hidden option.
To fix this, we can add __always_inline on every helper, which skips
these LLVM inlining checks. For this purpose, introduce a new
__rust_helper macro that needs to be added to every helper.
Most helpers already have __rust_helper specified, but there are a few
missing. The only consequence of this is that those specific helpers do
not get inlined.

rust_binder: add Rust Binder driver
We're generally not proponents of rewrites (nasty uncomfortable things
that make you late for dinner!). So why rewrite Binder?
Binder has been evolving over the past 15+ years to meet the evolving
needs of Android. Its responsibilities, expectations, and complexity
have grown considerably during that time. While we expect Binder to
continue to evolve along with Android, there are a number of factors
that currently constrain our ability to develop/maintain it. Briefly
those are:
1. Complexity: Binder is at the intersection of everything in Android and
fulfills many responsibilities beyond IPC. It has become many things
to many people, and due to its many features and their interactions
with each other, its complexity is quite high. In just 6kLOC it must
deliver transactions to the right threads. It must correctly parse
and translate the contents of transactions, which can contain several
objects of different types (e.g., pointers, fds) that can interact
with each other. It controls the size of thread pools in userspace,
and ensures that transactions are assigned to threads in ways that
avoid deadlocks where the threadpool has run out of threads. It must
track refcounts of objects that are shared by several processes by
forwarding refcount changes between the processes correctly. It must
handle numerous error scenarios and it combines/nests 13 different
locks, 7 reference counters, and atomic variables. Finally, It must
do all of this as fast and efficiently as possible. Minor performance
regressions can cause a noticeably degraded user experience.
2. Things to improve: Thousand-line functions [1], error-prone error
handling [2], and confusing structure can occur as a code base grows
organically. After more than a decade of development, this codebase
could use an overhaul.
[1]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/android/binder.c?h=v6.5#n2896
[2]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/android/binder.c?h=v6.5#n3658
3. Security critical: Binder is a critical part of Android's sandboxing
strategy. Even Android's most de-privileged sandboxes (e.g. the
Chrome renderer, or SW Codec) have direct access to Binder. More than
just about any other component, it's important that Binder provide
robust security, and itself be robust against security
vulnerabilities.
It's #1 (high complexity) that has made continuing to evolve Binder and
resolving #2 (tech debt) exceptionally difficult without causing #3
(security issues). For Binder to continue to meet Android's needs, we
need better ways to manage (and reduce!) complexity without increasing
the risk.
The biggest change is obviously the choice of programming language. We
decided to use Rust because it directly addresses a number of the
challenges within Binder that we have faced during the last years. It
prevents mistakes with ref counting, locking, bounds checking, and also
does a lot to reduce the complexity of error handling. Additionally,
we've been able to use the more expressive type system to encode the
ownership semantics of the various structs and pointers, which takes the
complexity of managing object lifetimes out of the hands of the
programmer, reducing the risk of use-after-frees and similar problems.
Rust has many different pointer types that it uses to encode ownership
semantics into the type system, and this is probably one of the most
important aspects of how it helps in Binder. The Binder driver has a lot
of different objects that have complex ownership semantics; some
pointers own a refcount, some pointers have exclusive ownership, and
some pointers just reference the object and it is kept alive in some
other manner. With Rust, we can use a different pointer type for each
kind of pointer, which enables the compiler to enforce that the
ownership semantics are implemented correctly.
Another useful feature is Rust's error handling. Rust allows for more
simplified error handling with features such as destructors, and you get
compilation failures if errors are not properly handled. This means that
even though Rust requires you to spend more lines of code than C on
things such as writing down invariants that are left implicit in C, the
Rust driver is still slightly smaller than C binder: Rust is 5.5kLOC and
C is 5.8kLOC. (These numbers are excluding blank lines, comments,
binderfs, and any debugging facilities in C that are not yet implemented
in the Rust driver. The numbers include abstractions in rust/kernel/
that are unlikely to be used by other drivers than Binder.)
Although this rewrite completely rethinks how the code is structured and
how assumptions are enforced, we do not fundamentally change *how* the
driver does the things it does. A lot of careful thought has gone into
the existing design. The rewrite is aimed rather at improving code
health, structure, readability, robustness, security, maintainability
and extensibility. We also include more inline documentation, and
improve how assumptions in the code are enforced. Furthermore, all
unsafe code is annotated with a SAFETY comment that explains why it is
correct.
We have left the binderfs filesystem component in C. Rewriting it in
Rust would be a large amount of work and requires a lot of bindings to
the file system interfaces. Binderfs has not historically had the same
challenges with security and complexity, so rewriting binderfs seems to
have lower value than the rest of Binder.
Correctness and feature parity
------------------------------
Rust binder passes all tests that validate the correctness of Binder in
the Android Open Source Project. We can boot a device, and run a variety
of apps and functionality without issues. We have performed this both on
the Cuttlefish Android emulator device, and on a Pixel 6 Pro.
As for feature parity, Rust binder currently implements all features
that C binder supports, with the exception of some debugging facilities.
The missing debugging facilities will be added before we submit the Rust
implementation upstream.
Tracepoints
-----------
I did not include all of the tracepoints as I felt that the mechansim
for making C access fields of Rust structs should be discussed on list
separately. I also did not include the support for building Rust Binder
as a module since that requires exporting a bunch of additional symbols
on the C side.

rust: helpers: Add dma_alloc_attrs() and dma_free_attrs()
Add dma_alloc_attrs() and dma_free_attrs() helpers to fix a build
error when CONFIG_HAS_DMA is not enabled.
Note that when CONFIG_HAS_DMA is enabled, dma_alloc_attrs() and
dma_free_attrs() are included in both bindings_generated.rs and
bindings_helpers_generated.rs. The former takes precedence so behavior
remains unchanged in that case.
This fixes the following build error on UML:

rust: file: add Rust abstraction for `struct file`
This abstraction makes it possible to manipulate the open files for a
process. The new `File` struct wraps the C `struct file`. When accessing
it using the smart pointer `ARef<File>`, the pointer will own a
reference count to the file. When accessing it as `&File`, then the
reference does not own a refcount, but the borrow checker will ensure
that the reference count does not hit zero while the `&File` is live.
Since this is intended to manipulate the open files of a process, we
introduce an `fget` constructor that corresponds to the C `fget`
method. In future patches, it will become possible to create a new fd in
a process and bind it to a `File`. Rust Binder will use these to send
fds from one process to another.
We also provide a method for accessing the file's flags. Rust Binder
will use this to access the flags of the Binder fd to check whether the
non-blocking flag is set, which affects what the Binder ioctl does.
This introduces a struct for the EBADF error type, rather than just
using the Error type directly. This has two advantages:
* `File::fget` returns a `Result<ARef<File>, BadFdError>`, which the
compiler will represent as a single pointer, with null being an error.
This is possible because the compiler understands that `BadFdError`
has only one possible value, and it also understands that the
`ARef<File>` smart pointer is guaranteed non-null.
* Additionally, we promise to users of the method that the method can
only fail with EBADF, which means that they can rely on this promise
without having to inspect its implementation.
That said, there are also two disadvantages:
* Defining additional error types involves boilerplate.
* The question mark operator will only utilize the `From` trait once,
which prevents you from using the question mark operator on
`BadFdError` in methods that return some third error type that the
kernel `Error` is convertible into. (However, it works fine in methods
that return `Error`.)

rust: add `io::{Io, IoRaw}` base types
I/O memory is typically either mapped through direct calls to ioremap()
or subsystem / bus specific ones such as pci_iomap().
Even though subsystem / bus specific functions to map I/O memory are
based on ioremap() / iounmap() it is not desirable to re-implement them
in Rust.
Instead, implement a base type for I/O mapped memory, which generically
provides the corresponding accessors, such as `Io::readb` or
`Io:try_readb`.
`Io` supports an optional const generic, such that a driver can indicate
the minimal expected and required size of the mapping at compile time.
Correspondingly, calls to the 'non-try' accessors, support compile time
checks of the I/O memory offset to read / write, while the 'try'
accessors, provide boundary checks on runtime.
`IoRaw` is meant to be embedded into a structure (e.g. pci::Bar or
io::IoMem) which creates the actual I/O memory mapping and initializes
`IoRaw` accordingly.
To ensure that I/O mapped memory can't out-live the device it may be
bound to, subsystems must embed the corresponding I/O memory type (e.g.
pci::Bar) into a `Devres` container, such that it gets revoked once the
device is unbound.

Rust changes for v6.17
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and 'ref_as_ptr'.
These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator, which
are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less powerful
and thus should help to avoid mistakes.
- Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
plural one in the previous cycle.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
kernel parameters:
warn_on!(value == 42);
To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is followed
as for the static branch code in order to share the assembly between
both C and Rust. This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers
-- the existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus
no functional change expected there.
- 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a 'DelayedWork'
struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an 'enqueue_delayed'
method, e.g.:
/// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
/// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
fn print_later(value: Arc<MyStruct>) {
let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
}
- New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:
static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));
assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());
- 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which reads
NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'.
Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C, to
minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing them
up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add it to
the prelude, too.
- Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and some
other cleanups.
Replace 'fmt!' with a re-export, which helps Clippy lint properly,
and clean up the found 'uninlined-format-args' instances.
- 'dma' module:
- Clarify wording and be consistent in 'coherent' nomenclature.
- Convert the 'read!()' and 'write!()' macros to return a 'Result'.
- Add 'as_slice()', 'write()' methods in 'CoherentAllocation'.
- Expose 'count()' and 'size()' in 'CoherentAllocation' and add the
corresponding type invariants.
- Implement 'CoherentAllocation::dma_handle_with_offset()'.
- 'time' module:
- Make 'Instant' generic over clock source. This allows the compiler
to assert that arithmetic expressions involving the 'Instant' use
'Instants' based on the same clock source.
- Make 'HrTimer' generic over the timer mode. 'HrTimer' timers take a
'Duration' or an 'Instant' when setting the expiry time, depending
on the timer mode. With this change, the compiler can check the
type matches the timer mode.
- Add an abstraction for 'fsleep'. 'fsleep' is a flexible sleep
function that will select an appropriate sleep method depending on
the requested sleep time.
- Avoid 64-bit divisions on 32-bit hardware when calculating
timestamps.
- Seal the 'HrTimerMode' trait. This prevents users of the
'HrTimerMode' from implementing the trait on their own types.
- Pass the correct timer mode ID to 'hrtimer_start_range_ns()'.
- 'list' module: remove 'OFFSET' constants, allowing to remove pointer
arithmetic; now 'impl_list_item!' invokes 'impl_has_list_links!' or
'impl_has_list_links_self_ptr!'. Other simplifications too.
- 'types' module: remove 'ForeignOwnable::PointedTo' in favor of a
constant, which avoids exposing the type of the opaque pointer, and
require 'into_foreign' to return non-null.
Remove the 'Either<L, R>' type as well. It is unused, and we want to
encourage the use of custom enums for concrete use cases.
- 'sync' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Arc' types
to allow them to be used in generic APIs.
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Borrow' and 'BorrowMut' for 'Box<T, A>';
and 'Borrow', 'BorrowMut' and 'Default' for 'Vec<T, A>'.
- 'Opaque' type: add 'cast_from' method to perform a restricted cast
that cannot change the inner type and use it in callers of
'container_of!'. Rename 'raw_get' to 'cast_into' to match it.
- 'rbtree' module: add 'is_empty' method.
- 'sync' module: new 'aref' submodule to hold 'AlwaysRefCounted' and
'ARef', which are moved from the too general 'types' module which we
want to reduce or eventually remove. Also fix a safety comment in
'static_lock_class'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'impl<T, E> [Pin]Init<T, E> for Result<T, E>', so results are now
(pin-)initializers.
- Add 'Zeroable::init_zeroed()' that delegates to 'init_zeroed()'.
- New 'zeroed()', a safe version of 'mem::zeroed()' and also provide
it via 'Zeroable::zeroed()'.
- Implement 'Zeroable' for 'Option<&T>', 'Option<&mut T>' and for
'Option<[unsafe] [extern "abi"] fn(...args...) -> ret>' for '"Rust"'
and '"C"' ABIs and up to 20 arguments.
- Changed blanket impls of 'Init' and 'PinInit' from 'impl<T, E>
[Pin]Init<T, E> for T' to 'impl<T> [Pin]Init<T> for T'.
- Renamed 'zeroed()' to 'init_zeroed()'.
- Upstream dev news: improve CI more to deny warnings, use
'--all-targets'. Check the synchronization status of the two '-next'
branches in upstream and the kernel.

Merge tag 'rust-6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ojeda/linux
Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a set of Clippy lints: 'ptr_as_ptr', 'ptr_cast_constness',
'as_ptr_cast_mut', 'as_underscore', 'cast_lossless' and
'ref_as_ptr'
These are intended to avoid type casts with the 'as' operator,
which are quite powerful, into restricted variants that are less
powerful and thus should help to avoid mistakes
- Remove the 'author' key now that most instances were moved to the
plural one in the previous cycle
'kernel' crate:
- New 'bug' module: add 'warn_on!' macro which reuses the existing
'BUG'/'WARN' infrastructure, i.e. it respects the usual sysctls and
kernel parameters:
warn_on!(value == 42);
To avoid duplicating the assembly code, the same strategy is
followed as for the static branch code in order to share the
assembly between both C and Rust
This required a few rearrangements on C arch headers -- the
existing C macros should still generate the same outputs, thus no
functional change expected there
- 'workqueue' module: add delayed work items, including a
'DelayedWork' struct, a 'impl_has_delayed_work!' macro and an
'enqueue_delayed' method, e.g.:
/// Enqueue the struct for execution on the system workqueue,
/// where its value will be printed 42 jiffies later.
fn print_later(value: Arc<MyStruct>) {
let _ = workqueue::system().enqueue_delayed(value, 42);
}
- New 'bits' module: add support for 'bit' and 'genmask' functions,
with runtime- and compile-time variants, e.g.:
static_assert!(0b00010000 == bit_u8(4));
static_assert!(0b00011110 == genmask_u8(1..=4));
assert!(checked_bit_u32(u32::BITS).is_none());
- 'uaccess' module: add 'UserSliceReader::strcpy_into_buf', which
reads NUL-terminated strings from userspace into a '&CStr'
Introduce 'UserPtr' newtype, similar in purpose to '__user' in C,
to minimize mistakes handling userspace pointers, including mixing
them up with integers and leaking them via the 'Debug' trait. Add
it to the prelude, too
- Start preparations for the replacement of our custom 'CStr' type
with the analogous type in the 'core' standard library. This will
take place across several cycles to make it easier. For this one,
it includes a new 'fmt' module, using upstream method names and
