In Rust, it is possible to `allow` particular warnings (diagnostics,
lints) locally, making the compiler ignore instances of a given warning
within a given function, module, block, etc.
It is similar to `#pragma GCC diagnostic push` + `ignored` + `pop` in C:
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
static void f(void) {}
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
But way less verbose:
#[allow(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more
diagnostics by default (i.e. outside `W=` levels) that may have some
false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to
catch potential mistakes.
The `#[expect(...)]` attribute [1] takes this further, and makes the
compiler warn if the diagnostic was _not_ produced. For instance, the
following will ensure that, when `f()` is called somewhere, we will have
to remove the attribute:
#[expect(dead_code)]
fn f() {}
If we do not, we get a warning from the compiler:
warning: this lint expectation is unfulfilled
--> x.rs:3:10
|
3 | #[expect(dead_code)]
| ^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unfulfilled_lint_expectations)]` on by default
This means that `expect`s do not get forgotten when they are not needed.
See the next commit for more details, nuances on its usage and
documentation on the feature.
The attribute requires the `lint_reasons` [2] unstable feature, but it
is becoming stable in 1.81.0 (to be released on 2024-09-05) and it has
already been useful to clean things up in this patch series, finding
cases where the `allow`s should not have been there.
Thus, enable `lint_reasons` and convert some of our `allow`s to `expect`s
where possible.
This feature was also an example of the ongoing collaboration between
Rust and the kernel -- we tested it in the kernel early on and found an
issue that was quickly resolved [3].

In Rust 1.76.0, Clippy added the `check-private-items` lint configuration
option. When turned on (the default is off), it makes several lints
check private items as well.
In our case, it affects two lints we have enabled [1]:
`missing_safety_doc` and `unnecessary_safety_doc`.
It also seems to affect the new `too_long_first_doc_paragraph` lint [2],
even though the documentation does not mention it.
Thus allow the few instances remaining we currently hit and enable
the lint.

Checking that we are not missing any `// SAFETY` comments in our `unsafe`
blocks is something we have wanted to do for a long time, as well as
cleaning up the remaining cases that were not documented [1].
Back when Rust for Linux started, this was something that could have
been done via a script, like Rust's `tidy`. Soon after, in Rust 1.58.0,
Clippy implemented the `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` lint [2].
Even though the lint has a few false positives, e.g. in some cases where
attributes appear between the comment and the `unsafe` block [3], there
are workarounds and the lint seems quite usable already.
Thus enable the lint now.
We still have a few cases to clean up, so just allow those for the moment
by writing a `TODO` comment -- some of those may be good candidates for
new contributors.

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports
[1], e.g.:
error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly
--> rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9
|
38 | use crate::bindings;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude
Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`.
Thus clean them up.
Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude"
above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

Some of our links use relative paths in order to point to files in the
source tree, e.g.:
//! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](../../../../include/linux/printk.h)
/// [`struct mutex`]: ../../../../include/linux/mutex.h
These are problematic because they are hard to maintain and do not support
`O=` builds.
Instead, provide support for `srctree`-relative links, e.g.:
//! C header: [`include/linux/printk.h`](srctree/include/linux/printk.h)
/// [`struct mutex`]: srctree/include/linux/mutex.h
The links are fixed after `rustdoc` generation to be based on the absolute
path to the source tree.
Essentially, this is the automatic version of Tomonori's fix [1],
suggested by Gary [2].

At the moment it is possible to perform unsafe operations in
the arguments of `pr_*` macros since they are evaluated inside
an `unsafe` block:
let x = &10u32 as *const u32;
pr_info!("{}", *x);
In other words, this is a soundness issue.
Fix it so that it requires an explicit `unsafe` block.

The `kernel` crate currently includes all the abstractions that wrap
kernel features written in C.
These abstractions call the C side of the kernel via the generated
bindings with the `bindgen` tool. Modules developed in Rust should
never call the bindings themselves.
In the future, as the abstractions grow in number, we may need
to split this crate into several, possibly following a similar
subdivision in subsystems as the kernel itself and/or moving
the code to the actual subsystems.
