Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
It's coming late in the merge cycle as there are a number of merge
conflicts with your tree now, and I wanted to make sure they were
working properly. To resolve them, look in linux-next, and I will send
the "fixup" patch as a response to the pull request.
Included in here is a bunch of driver core, PCI, OF, and platform rust
bindings (all acked by the different subsystem maintainers), hence the
merge conflict with the rust tree, and some driver core api updates to
mark things as const, which will also require some fixups due to new
stuff coming in through other trees in this merge window.
There are also a bunch of debugfs updates from Al, and there is at least
one user that does have a regression with these, but Al is working on
tracking down the fix for it. In my use (and everyone else's linux-next
use), it does not seem like a big issue at the moment.
Here's a short list of the things in here:
- driver core bindings for PCI, platform, OF, and some i/o functions.
We are almost at the "write a real driver in rust" stage now,
depending on what you want to do.
- misc device rust bindings and a sample driver to show how to use
them
- debugfs cleanups in the fs as well as the users of the fs api for
places where drivers got it wrong or were unnecessarily doing things
in complex ways.
- driver core const work, making more of the api take const * for
different parameters to make the rust bindings easier overall.
- other small fixes and updates
All of these have been in linux-next with all of the aforementioned
merge conflicts, and the one debugfs issue, which looks to be resolved
"soon".

It is slightly more convenient to operate on mut pointers, and this also
properly conveys the desired ownership semantics of the trait.

The sibling `build_assert!` is already in the prelude, it makes sense
that a "core"/"language" facility like this is part of the prelude and
users should not be defining their own one (thus there should be no risk
of future name collisions and we would want to be aware of them anyway).
Thus add `build_error!` into the prelude.

Code and some examples were using the function, rather than the macro. The
macro is what is documented.
Thus move users to the macro.

The following FFI types are replaced compared to `core::ffi`:
1. `char` type is now always mapped to `u8`, since kernel uses
`-funsigned-char` on the C code. `core::ffi` maps it to platform
default ABI, which can be either signed or unsigned.
2. `long` is now always mapped to `isize`. It's very common in the
kernel to use `long` to represent a pointer-sized integer, and in
fact `intptr_t` is a typedef of `long` in the kernel. Enforce this
mapping rather than mapping to `i32/i64` depending on platform can
save us a lot of unnecessary casts.

In the last kernel cycle we migrated most of the `core::ffi` cases in
commit d072acda48 ("rust: use custom FFI integer types"):
Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit
creates the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI
integer types instead of `core::ffi`.
This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this
commit yet.
Finish now the few remaining/new cases so that we perform the actual
remapping in the next commit as planned.

File descriptors should generally provide a fops->show_fdinfo() hook for
debugging purposes. Thus, add such a hook to the miscdevice
abstractions.

There are situations where a pointer to a `struct device` will become
necessary (e.g. for calling into dev_*() functions). This accessor
allows callers to pull this out from the `struct miscdevice`.

Providing access to the underlying `struct miscdevice` is useful for
various reasons. For example, this allows you access the miscdevice's
internal `struct device` for use with the `dev_*` printing macros.
Note that since the underlying `struct miscdevice` could get freed at
any point after the fops->open() call (if misc_deregister is called),
only the open call is given access to it. To use `dev_*` printing macros
from other fops hooks, take a refcount on `miscdevice->this_device` to
keep it alive. See the linked thread for further discussion on the
lifetime of `struct miscdevice`.

This allows fops to access information about the underlying struct file
for the miscdevice. For example, the Binder driver needs to inspect the

Provide a `MiscDevice` trait that lets you specify the file operations
that you wish to provide for your misc device. For now, only three file
operations are provided: open, close, ioctl.
These abstractions only support MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR. This enforces that
new miscdevices should not hard-code a minor number.
When implementing ioctl, the Result type is used. This means that you
can choose to return either of:
* An integer of type isize.
* An errno using the kernel::error::Error type.
When returning an isize, the integer is returned verbatim. It's mainly
intended for returning positive integers to userspace. However, it is
technically possible to return errors via the isize return value too.
To avoid having a dependency on files, this patch does not provide the
file operations callbacks a pointer to the file. This means that they
cannot check file properties such as O_NONBLOCK (which Binder needs).
Support for that can be added as a follow-up.
To avoid having a dependency on vma, this patch does not provide any way
to implement mmap (which Binder needs). Support for that can be added as
a follow-up.
Rust Binder will use these abstractions to create the /dev/binder file
when binderfs is disabled.
