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.

Quick Start
===========
This document describes how to get started with kernel development in Rust.
docs: rust: quick-start: add section on Linux distributions Now that we are starting to support several Rust compiler and `bindgen` versions, there is a good chance some Linux distributions work out of the box. Thus, provide some instructions on how to set the toolchain up for a few major Linux distributions. This simplifies the setup users need to build the kernel. In addition, add an introduction to the document so that it is easier to understand its structure and move the LLVM+Rust kernel.org toolchains paragraph there (removing "depending on the Linux version"). We may want to reorganize the document or split it in the future, but I wanted to focus this commit on the new information added about each particular distribution. Finally, remove the `rustup`'s components mention in `changes.rst` since users do not need it if they install the toolchain via the distributions (and anyway it was too detailed for that main document).

There are a few ways to install a Rust toolchain needed for kernel development.
A simple way is to use the packages from your Linux distribution if they are
suitable -- the first section below explains this approach. An advantage of this
approach is that, typically, the distribution will match the LLVM used by Rust
and Clang.
Another way is using the prebuilt stable versions of LLVM+Rust provided on
`kernel.org <https://kernel.org/pub/tools/llvm/rust/>`_. These are the same slim
and fast LLVM toolchains from :ref:`Getting LLVM <getting_llvm>` with versions
of Rust added to them that Rust for Linux supports. Two sets are provided: the
"latest LLVM" and "matching LLVM" (please see the link for more information).
Alternatively, the next two "Requirements" sections explain each component and
how to install them through ``rustup``, the standalone installers from Rust
and/or building them.
The rest of the document explains other aspects on how to get started.
Distributions
-------------
Arch Linux
**********
Arch Linux provides recent Rust releases and thus it should generally work out
of the box, e.g.::
pacman -S rust rust-src rust-bindgen
Debian
******
Debian Unstable (Sid), outside of the freeze period, provides recent Rust
releases and thus it should generally work out of the box, e.g.::
apt install rustc rust-src bindgen rustfmt rust-clippy
Fedora Linux
************
Fedora Linux provides recent Rust releases and thus it should generally work out
of the box, e.g.::
dnf install rust rust-src bindgen-cli rustfmt clippy
Gentoo Linux
************
Gentoo Linux (and especially the testing branch) provides recent Rust releases
and thus it should generally work out of the box, e.g.::
USE='rust-src rustfmt clippy' emerge dev-lang/rust dev-util/bindgen
``LIBCLANG_PATH`` may need to be set.
Nix
***
Nix (unstable channel) provides recent Rust releases and thus it should
generally work out of the box, e.g.::
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
pkgs.mkShell {
nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [ rustc rust-bindgen rustfmt clippy ];
RUST_LIB_SRC = "${pkgs.rust.packages.stable.rustPlatform.rustLibSrc}";
}
openSUSE
********
openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed provide recent Rust releases and thus
they should generally work out of the box, e.g.::
zypper install rust rust1.79-src rust-bindgen clang

Requirements: Building
----------------------
This section explains how to fetch the tools needed for building.
To easily check whether the requirements are met, the following target
can be used::
make LLVM=1 rustavailable
This triggers the same logic used by Kconfig to determine whether
``RUST_IS_AVAILABLE`` should be enabled; but it also explains why not
if that is the case.

rust: start supporting several compiler versions It is time to start supporting several Rust compiler versions and thus establish a minimum Rust version. We may still want to upgrade the minimum sometimes in the beginning since there may be important features coming into the language that improve how we write code (e.g. field projections), which may or may not make sense to support conditionally. We will start with a window of two stable releases, and widen it over time. Thus this patch does not move the current minimum (1.78.0), but instead adds support for the recently released 1.79.0. This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux, Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and openSUSE Tumbleweed. See the documentation patch about it later in this series. In addition, Rust for Linux is now being built-tested in Rust's pre-merge CI [1]. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it passes -- thanks to the Rust project for that! Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that, in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust compiler versions should generally work. For instance, currently, the beta (1.80.0) and nightly (1.81.0) branches work as well. Of course, the Rust for Linux CI job in the Rust toolchain may still need to be temporarily disabled for different reasons, but the intention is to help bring Rust for Linux into stable Rust.

Rust standard library source
****************************
The Rust standard library source is required because the build system will
cross-compile ``core`` and ``alloc``.
If ``rustup`` is being used, run::
rustup component add rust-src
The components are installed per toolchain, thus upgrading the Rust compiler
version later on requires re-adding the component.
Otherwise, if a standalone installer is used, the Rust source tree may be
downloaded into the toolchain's installation folder::

rust: start supporting several compiler versions It is time to start supporting several Rust compiler versions and thus establish a minimum Rust version. We may still want to upgrade the minimum sometimes in the beginning since there may be important features coming into the language that improve how we write code (e.g. field projections), which may or may not make sense to support conditionally. We will start with a window of two stable releases, and widen it over time. Thus this patch does not move the current minimum (1.78.0), but instead adds support for the recently released 1.79.0. This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux, Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and openSUSE Tumbleweed. See the documentation patch about it later in this series. In addition, Rust for Linux is now being built-tested in Rust's pre-merge CI [1]. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it passes -- thanks to the Rust project for that! Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that, in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust compiler versions should generally work. For instance, currently, the beta (1.80.0) and nightly (1.81.0) branches work as well. Of course, the Rust for Linux CI job in the Rust toolchain may still need to be temporarily disabled for different reasons, but the intention is to help bring Rust for Linux into stable Rust.

docs: rust: remove `CC=clang` mentions Nowadays all architectures except s390 recommend using `LLVM=1` instead of `CC=clang`, and since commit a3c6bfba4429 ("Documentation/llvm: refresh docs") the Kbuild LLVM documentation makes `LLVM=1` the way to go: We want to encourage the use of ``LLVM=1`` rather than just ``CC=clang``. Make that suggestion "above the fold" and "front and center" in our docs. In particular, that commit removes the examples with `CC=clang`. Thus do the same in the Rust Quick Start guide, i.e. remove the `CC=clang` mentions, especially since the architectures that have had their Rust support upstreamed (or soon to be upstreamed) are all `LLVM=1` ones. And perhaps by the time Rust is supported for s390 (or new architectures), it may have moved to `LLVM=1` anyway. Otherwise, this can be added back if needed (or perhaps an extra link to Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst). This should also help avoiding potential confusion around `CC=clang` [1].

Linux distributions are likely to have a suitable one available, so it is
best to check that first.
There are also some binaries for several systems and architectures uploaded at:

Otherwise, building LLVM takes quite a while, but it is not a complex process:

``bindgen`` uses the ``clang-sys`` crate to find a suitable ``libclang`` (which
may be linked statically, dynamically or loaded at runtime). By default, the
``cargo`` command above will produce a ``bindgen`` binary that will load
``libclang`` at runtime. If it is not found (or a different ``libclang`` than
the one found should be used), the process can be tweaked, e.g. by using the
``LIBCLANG_PATH`` environment variable. For details, please see ``clang-sys``'s

Requirements: Developing
------------------------
This section explains how to fetch the tools needed for developing. That is,
they are not needed when just building the kernel.
rustfmt
*******
The ``rustfmt`` tool is used to automatically format all the Rust kernel code,
including the generated C bindings (for details, please see
coding-guidelines.rst).
If ``rustup`` is being used, its ``default`` profile already installs the tool,
thus nothing needs to be done. If another profile is being used, the component
can be installed manually::
rustup component add rustfmt
The standalone installers also come with ``rustfmt``.
clippy
******
``clippy`` is a Rust linter. Running it provides extra warnings for Rust code.
It can be run by passing ``CLIPPY=1`` to ``make`` (for details, please see
general-information.rst).
If ``rustup`` is being used, its ``default`` profile already installs the tool,
thus nothing needs to be done. If another profile is being used, the component
can be installed manually::
rustup component add clippy
The standalone installers also come with ``clippy``.
rustdoc
*******
``rustdoc`` is the documentation tool for Rust. It generates pretty HTML
documentation for Rust code (for details, please see
general-information.rst).
``rustdoc`` is also used to test the examples provided in documented Rust code
(called doctests or documentation tests). The ``rusttest`` Make target uses
this feature.
If ``rustup`` is being used, all the profiles already install the tool,
thus nothing needs to be done.
The standalone installers also come with ``rustdoc``.
rust-analyzer
*************
The `rust-analyzer <https://rust-analyzer.github.io/>`_ language server can
be used with many editors to enable syntax highlighting, completion, go to
definition, and other features.
``rust-analyzer`` needs a configuration file, ``rust-project.json``, which
can be generated by the ``rust-analyzer`` Make target::
make LLVM=1 rust-analyzer
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.

Configuration
-------------
``Rust support`` (``CONFIG_RUST``) needs to be enabled in the ``General setup``
menu. The option is only shown if a suitable Rust toolchain is found (see
above), as long as the other requirements are met. In turn, this will make
visible the rest of options that depend on Rust.
Afterwards, go to::
Kernel hacking
-> Sample kernel code
-> Rust samples
And enable some sample modules either as built-in or as loadable.
Building
--------
Building a kernel with a complete LLVM toolchain is the best supported setup
at the moment. That is::
make LLVM=1
Using GCC also works for some configurations, but it is very experimental at
the moment.
Hacking
-------
To dive deeper, take a look at the source code of the samples
at ``samples/rust/``, the Rust support code under ``rust/`` and
the ``Rust hacking`` menu under ``Kernel hacking``.
If GDB/Binutils is used and Rust symbols are not getting demangled, the reason
is the toolchain does not support Rust's new v0 mangling scheme yet.
There are a few ways out:
- Install a newer release (GDB >= 10.2, Binutils >= 2.36).
- Some versions of GDB (e.g. vanilla GDB 10.1) are able to use
the pre-demangled names embedded in the debug info (``CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO``).
