Since this is technically different from the previous FCP. By stabilizing this we are specifically excluding future syntaxes for nested fields/enums that don't follow the @rfcbot fcp merge |
Team member @Amanieu has proposed to merge this. The next step is review by the rest of the tagged team members: No concerns currently listed. Once a majority of reviewers approve (and at most 2 approvals are outstanding), this will enter its final comment period. If you spot a major issue that hasn't been raised at any point in this process, please speak up! See this document for info about what commands tagged team members can give me. |
Since I wrote the stabilization report, I found out that the syntax even for single fields is more controversial than I thought. I still think that moving this towards stabilization is a good idea. The current syntax is nothing exotic, it has precedent in C. And while we will always need to support it once it is stable, I think that the macro still leaves a lot of potential to extend it to support a lot of other syntaxes. Edit: Also, right now the majority still seems to favour syntaxes that are supersets of what is being stabilized by this PR, |

Rollup merge of rust-lang#118799 - GKFX:stabilize-simple-offsetof, r=wesleywiser Stabilize single-field offset_of This PR stabilizes offset_of for a single field. There has been some further discussion at rust-lang#106655 about whether this is advisable; I'm opening the PR anyway so that the code is available.
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.76.0 to 1.77.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features The `offset_of` feature (single-field `offset_of!`) that we were using got stabilized in Rust 1.77.0 [3]. Therefore, now the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [4] for details. # Required changes Rust 1.77.0 merged the `unused_tuple_struct_fields` lint into `dead_code`, thus upgrading it from `allow` to `warn` [5]. In turn, this makes `rustc` complain about the `ThisModule`'s pointer field being never read. Thus locally `allow` it for the moment, since we will have users later on (e.g. Binder needs a `as_ptr` method [6]). # Other changes Rust 1.77.0 introduces the `--check-cfg` feature [7], for which there is a Call for Testing going on [8]. We were requested to test it and we found it useful [9] -- we will likely enable it in the future. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach).

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.76.0 to 1.77.1 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features The `offset_of` feature (single-field `offset_of!`) that we were using got stabilized in Rust 1.77.0 [3]. Therefore, now the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [4] for details. # Required changes Rust 1.77.0 merged the `unused_tuple_struct_fields` lint into `dead_code`, thus upgrading it from `allow` to `warn` [5]. In turn, this made `rustc` complain about the `ThisModule`'s pointer field being never read, but the previous patch adds the `as_ptr` method to it, needed by Binder [6], so that we do not need to locally `allow` it. # Other changes Rust 1.77.0 introduces the `--check-cfg` feature [7], for which there is a Call for Testing going on [8]. We were requested to test it and we found it useful [9] -- we will likely enable it in the future. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions.

This PR stabilizes offset_of for a single field. There has been some further discussion at #106655 about whether this is advisable; I'm opening the PR anyway so that the code is available.
