commit 09b1704f5b upstream.
The future move of pin-init to `syn` uncovers the following broken
intra-doc link:
error: unresolved link to `crate::pin_init`
--> rust/kernel/sync/condvar.rs:39:40

39 | /// instances is with the [`pin_init`](crate::pin_init!) and [`new_condvar`] macros.

= note: `-D rustdoc::broken-intra-doc-links` implied by `-D warnings`
= help: to override `-D warnings` add `#[allow(rustdoc::broken_intra_doc_links)]`
Currently, when rendered, the link points to a literal `crate::pin_init!`
URL.
Thus fix it.

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
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

Move the definitions of `ARef` and `AlwaysRefCounted` from `types.rs`
to a new file `sync/aref.rs`. Define the corresponding `aref` module
under `rust/kernel/sync.rs`. These types are better grouped in `sync`.
To avoid breaking existing imports, they are re-exported from `types.rs`.
Drop unused imports `mem::ManuallyDrop`, `ptr::NonNull` from `types.rs`,
they are now only used in `sync/aref.rs`, where they are already imported.

[ Added missing `///`. Changed module title. Reworded slightly. - Miguel ]
Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
It's possible for a poll_table to be null. This can happen if an
end-user just wants to know if a resource has events right now without
registering a waiter for when events become available. Furthermore,
these null pointers should be handled transparently by the API, so we
should not change `from_ptr` to return an `Option`. Thus, change
`PollTable` to wrap a raw pointer rather than use a reference so that
you can pass null.
Comments mentioning `struct poll_table` are changed to just `poll_table`
since `poll_table` is a typedef. (It's a typedef because it's supposed
to be opaque.)

Implement `Borrow<T>` and `BorrowMut<T>` for `UniqueArc<T>`, and
`Borrow<T>` for `Arc<T>`. This allows these containers to be used in
generic APIs asking for types implementing those traits. `T` and `&mut
T` also implement those traits allowing users to use either owned,
shared or borrowed values.
`ForeignOwnable` makes a call to its own `borrow` method which must be
disambiguated.

In Rust 1.51.0, Clippy introduced the `ptr_as_ptr` lint [1]:
> Though `as` casts between raw pointers are not terrible,
> `pointer::cast` is safer because it cannot accidentally change the
> pointer's mutability, nor cast the pointer to other types like `usize`.
There are a few classes of changes required:
- Modules generated by bindgen are marked
`#[allow(clippy::ptr_as_ptr)]`.
- Inferred casts (` as _`) are replaced with `.cast()`.
- Ascribed casts (` as *... T`) are replaced with `.cast::<T>()`.
- Multistep casts from references (` as *const _ as *const T`) are
replaced with `core::ptr::from_ref(&x).cast()` with or without `::<T>`
according to the previous rules. The `core::ptr::from_ref` call is
required because `(x as *const _).cast::<T>()` results in inference
failure.
- Native literal C strings are replaced with `c_str!().as_char_ptr()`.
- `*mut *mut T as _` is replaced with `let *mut *const T = (*mut *mut
T)`.cast();` since pointer to pointer can be confusing.
Apply these changes and enable the lint -- no functional change
intended.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- KUnit '#[test]'s:
- Support KUnit-mapped 'assert!' macros.
The support that landed last cycle was very basic, and the
'assert!' macros panicked since they were the standard library
ones. Now, they are mapped to the KUnit ones in a similar way to
how is done for doctests, reusing the infrastructure there.
With this, a failing test like:
#[test]
fn my_first_test() {
assert_eq!(42, 43);
}
will report:
# my_first_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:251
Expected 42 == 43 to be true, but is false
# my_first_test.speed: normal
not ok 1 my_first_test
- Support tests with checked 'Result' return types.
The return value of test functions that return a 'Result' will
be checked, thus one can now easily catch errors when e.g. using
the '?' operator in tests.
With this, a failing test like:
#[test]
fn my_test() -> Result {
f()?;
Ok(())
}
will report:
# my_test: ASSERTION FAILED at rust/kernel/lib.rs:321
Expected is_test_result_ok(my_test()) to be true, but is false
# my_test.speed: normal
not ok 1 my_test
- Add 'kunit_tests' to the prelude.
- Clarify the remaining language unstable features in use.
- Compile 'core' with edition 2024 for Rust >= 1.87.
- Workaround 'bindgen' issue with forward references to 'enum' types.
- objtool: relax slice condition to cover more 'noreturn' functions.
- Use absolute paths in macros referencing 'core' and 'kernel'
crates.
- Skip '-mno-fdpic' flag for bindgen in GCC 32-bit arm builds.
- Clean some 'doc_markdown' lint hits -- we may enable it later on.
'kernel' crate:
- 'alloc' module:
- 'Box': support for type coercion, e.g. 'Box<T>' to 'Box<dyn U>'
if 'T' implements 'U'.
- 'Vec': implement new methods (prerequisites for nova-core and
binder): 'truncate', 'resize', 'clear', 'pop',
'push_within_capacity' (with new error type 'PushError'),
'drain_all', 'retain', 'remove' (with new error type
'RemoveError'), insert_within_capacity' (with new error type
'InsertError').
In addition, simplify 'push' using 'spare_capacity_mut', split
'set_len' into 'inc_len' and 'dec_len', add type invariant 'len
<= capacity' and simplify 'truncate' using 'dec_len'.
- 'time' module:
- Morph the Rust hrtimer subsystem into the Rust timekeeping
subsystem, covering delay, sleep, timekeeping, timers. This new
subsystem has all the relevant timekeeping C maintainers listed
in the entry.
- Replace 'Ktime' with 'Delta' and 'Instant' types to represent a
duration of time and a point in time.
- Temporarily add 'Ktime' to 'hrtimer' module to allow 'hrtimer'
to delay converting to 'Instant' and 'Delta'.
- 'xarray' module:
- Add a Rust abstraction for the 'xarray' data structure. This
abstraction allows Rust code to leverage the 'xarray' to store
types that implement 'ForeignOwnable'. This support is a
dependency for memory backing feature of the Rust null block
driver, which is waiting to be merged.
- Set up an entry in 'MAINTAINERS' for the XArray Rust support.
Patches will go to the new Rust XArray tree and then via the
Rust subsystem tree for now.
- Allow 'ForeignOwnable' to carry information about the pointed-to
type. This helps asserting alignment requirements for the
pointer passed to the foreign language.
- 'container_of!': retain pointer mut-ness and add a compile-time
check of the type of the first parameter ('$field_ptr').
- Support optional message in 'static_assert!'.
- Add C FFI types (e.g. 'c_int') to the prelude.
- 'str' module: simplify KUnit tests 'format!' macro, convert
'rusttest' tests into KUnit, take advantage of the '-> Result'
support in KUnit '#[test]'s.
- 'list' module: add examples for 'List', fix path of
'assert_pinned!' (so far unused macro rule).
- 'workqueue' module: remove 'HasWork::OFFSET'.
- 'page' module: add 'inline' attribute.
'macros' crate:
- 'module' macro: place 'cleanup_module()' in '.exit.text' section.
'pin-init' crate:
- Add 'Wrapper<T>' trait for creating pin-initializers for wrapper
structs with a structurally pinned value such as 'UnsafeCell<T>' or
'MaybeUninit<T>'.
- Add 'MaybeZeroable' derive macro to try to derive 'Zeroable', but
not error if not all fields implement it. This is needed to derive
'Zeroable' for all bindgen-generated structs.
- Add 'unsafe fn cast_[pin_]init()' functions to unsafely change the
initialized type of an initializer. These are utilized by the
'Wrapper<T>' implementations.
- Add support for visibility in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Add support for 'union's in 'Zeroable' derive macro.
- Upstream dev news: streamline CI, fix some bugs. Add new workflows
to check if the user-space version and the one in the kernel tree
have diverged. Use the issues tab [1] to track them, which should
help folks report and diagnose issues w.r.t. 'pin-init' better.

Currently the implementation of "Guard" methods are basically wrappers
around rcu's function within kernel. Building the kernel with llvm
18.1.8 on x86_64 machine will generate the following symbols:
$ nm vmlinux | grep ' _R'.*Guard | rustfilt
ffffffff817b6c90 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard>::new
ffffffff817b6cb0 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard>::unlock
ffffffff817b6cd0 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard as core::ops::drop::Drop>::drop
ffffffff817b6c90 T <kernel::sync::rcu::Guard as core::default::Default>::default
These Rust symbols are basically wrappers around functions
"rcu_read_lock" and "rcu_read_unlock". Marking them as inline can
reduce the generation of these symbols, and saves the size of code
generation for 132 bytes.

Allow implementors to specify the foreign pointer type; this exposes
information about the pointed-to type such as its alignment.
This requires the trait to be `unsafe` since it is now possible for
implementors to break soundness by returning a misaligned pointer.
Encoding the pointer type in the trait (and avoiding pointer casts)
allows the compiler to check that implementors return the correct
pointer type. This is preferable to directly encoding the alignment in
the trait using a constant as the compiler would be unable to check it.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Extract the 'pin-init' API from the 'kernel' crate and make it into
a standalone crate.
In order to do this, the contents are rearranged so that they can
easily be kept in sync with the version maintained out-of-tree that
other projects have started to use too (or plan to, like QEMU).
This will reduce the maintenance burden for Benno, who will now
have his own sub-tree, and will simplify future expected changes
like the move to use 'syn' to simplify the implementation.
- Add '#[test]'-like support based on KUnit.
We already had doctests support based on KUnit, which takes the
examples in our Rust documentation and runs them under KUnit.
Now, we are adding the beginning of the support for "normal" tests,
similar to those the '#[test]' tests in userspace Rust. For
instance:
#[kunit_tests(my_suite)]
mod tests {
#[test]
fn my_test() {
assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2);
}
}
Unlike with doctests, the 'assert*!'s do not map to the KUnit
assertion APIs yet.
- Check Rust signatures at compile time for functions called from C
by name.
In particular, introduce a new '#[export]' macro that can be placed
in the Rust function definition. It will ensure that the function
declaration on the C side matches the signature on the Rust
function:
#[export]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn my_function(a: u8, b: i32) -> usize {
// ...
}
The macro essentially forces the compiler to compare the types of
the actual Rust function and the 'bindgen'-processed C signature.
These cases are rare so far. In the future, we may consider
introducing another tool, 'cbindgen', to generate C headers
automatically. Even then, having these functions explicitly marked
may be a good idea anyway.
- Enable the 'raw_ref_op' Rust feature: it is already stable, and
allows us to use the new '&raw' syntax, avoiding a couple macros.
After everyone has migrated, we will disallow the macros.
- Pass the correct target to 'bindgen' on Usermode Linux.
- Fix 'rusttest' build in macOS.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'hrtimer' module: add support for setting up intrusive timers
without allocating when starting the timer. Add support for
'Pin<Box<_>>', 'Arc<_>', 'Pin<&_>' and 'Pin<&mut _>' as pointer
types for use with timer callbacks. Add support for setting clock
source and timer mode.
- New 'dma' module: add a simple DMA coherent allocator abstraction
and a test sample driver.
- 'list' module: make the linked list 'Cursor' point between
elements, rather than at an element, which is more convenient to us
and allows for cursors to empty lists; and document it with
examples of how to perform common operations with the provided
methods.
- 'str' module: implement a few traits for 'BStr' as well as the
'strip_prefix()' method.
- 'sync' module: add 'Arc::as_ptr'.
- 'alloc' module: add 'Box::into_pin'.
- 'error' module: extend the 'Result' documentation, including a few
examples on different ways of handling errors, a warning about
using methods that may panic, and links to external documentation.
'macros' crate:
- 'module' macro: add the 'authors' key to support multiple authors.
The original key will be kept until everyone has migrated.
Documentation:
- Add error handling sections.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as reviewer of the Rust "subsystem".
- Add 'RUST [PIN-INIT]' entry with Benno Lossin as maintainer. It has
its own sub-tree.
- Add sub-tree for 'RUST [ALLOC]'.
- Add 'DMA MAPPING HELPERS DEVICE DRIVER API [RUST]' entry with
Abdiel Janulgue as primary maintainer. It will go through the
sub-tree of the 'RUST [ALLOC]' entry.
- Add 'HIGH-RESOLUTION TIMERS [RUST]' entry with Andreas Hindborg as

Pull driver core and debugfs updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big set of driver core and debugfs updates for 6.14-rc1.
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 rust 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""

Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Finish the move to custom FFI integer types started in the previous
cycle and finally map 'long' to 'isize' and 'char' to 'u8'. Do a
few cleanups on top thanks to that.
- Start to use 'derive(CoercePointee)' on Rust >= 1.84.0.
This is a major milestone on the path to build the kernel using
only stable Rust features. In particular, previously we were using
the unstable features 'coerce_unsized', 'dispatch_from_dyn' and
'unsize', and now we will use the new 'derive_coerce_pointee' one,
which is on track to stabilization. This new feature is a macro
that essentially expands into code that internally uses the
unstable features that we were using before, without having to
expose those.
With it, stable Rust users, including the kernel, will be able to
build custom smart pointers that work with trait objects, e.g.:
fn f(p: &Arc<dyn Display>) {
pr_info!("{p}\n");
}
let a: Arc<dyn Display> = Arc::new(42i32, GFP_KERNEL)?;
let b: Arc<dyn Display> = Arc::new("hello there", GFP_KERNEL)?;
f(&a); // Prints "42".
f(&b); // Prints "hello there".
Together with the 'arbitrary_self_types' feature that we started
using in the previous cycle, using our custom smart pointers like
'Arc' will eventually only rely in stable Rust.
- Introduce 'PROCMACROLDFLAGS' environment variable to allow to link
Rust proc macros using different flags than those used for linking
Rust host programs (e.g. when 'rustc' uses a different C library
than the host programs' one), which Android needs.
- Help kernel builds under macOS with Rust enabled by accomodating
other naming conventions for dynamic libraries (i.e. '.so' vs.
'.dylib') which are used for Rust procedural macros. The actual
support for macOS (i.e. the rest of the pieces needed) is provided
out-of-tree by others, following the policy used for other parts of
the kernel by Kbuild.
- Run Clippy for 'rusttest' code too and clean the bits it spotted.
- Provide Clippy with the minimum supported Rust version to improve
the suggestions it gives.
- Document 'bindgen' 0.71.0 regression.
'kernel' crate:
- 'build_error!': move users of the hidden function to the documented
macro, prevent such uses in the future by moving the function
elsewhere and add the macro to the prelude.
- 'types' module: add improved version of 'ForeignOwnable::borrow_mut'
(which was removed in the past since it was problematic); change
'ForeignOwnable' pointer type to '*mut'.
- 'alloc' module: implement 'Display' for 'Box' and align the 'Debug'
implementation to it; add example (doctest) for 'ArrayLayout::new()'
- 'sync' module: document 'PhantomData' in 'Arc'; use
'NonNull::new_unchecked' in 'ForeignOwnable for Arc' impl.
- 'uaccess' module: accept 'Vec's with different allocators in
'UserSliceReader::read_all'.
- 'workqueue' module: enable run-testing a couple more doctests.
- 'error' module: simplify 'from_errno()'.
- 'block' module: fix formatting in code documentation (a lint to catch
these is being implemented).
- Avoid 'unwrap()'s in doctests, which also improves the examples by
showing how kernel code is supposed to be written.
- Avoid 'as' casts with 'cast{,_mut}' calls which are a bit safer.

Previously, the `ForeignOwnable` trait had a method called `borrow_mut`
that was intended to provide mutable access to the inner value. However,
the method accidentally made it possible to change the address of the
object being modified, which usually isn't what we want. (And when we
want that, it can be done by calling `from_foreign` and `into_foreign`,
like how the old `borrow_mut` was implemented.)
In this patch, we introduce an alternate definition of `borrow_mut` that
solves the previous problem. Conceptually, given a pointer type `P` that
implements `ForeignOwnable`, the `borrow_mut` method gives you the same
kind of access as an `&mut P` would, except that it does not let you
change the pointer `P` itself.
This is analogous to how the existing `borrow` method provides the same
kind of access to the inner value as an `&P`.
Note that for types like `Arc`, having an `&mut Arc<T>` only gives you
immutable access to the inner `T`. This is because mutable references
assume exclusive access, but there might be other handles to the same
reference counted value, so the access isn't exclusive. The `Arc` type
implements this by making `borrow_mut` return the same type as `borrow`.

Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
The `kernel` crate relies on both `coerce_unsized` and `dispatch_from_dyn`
unstable features.
Alice Ryhl has proposed [1] the introduction of the unstable macro
`SmartPointer` to reduce such dependence, along with a RFC patch [2].
Since Rust 1.81.0 this macro, later renamed to `CoercePointee` in
Rust 1.84.0 [3], has been fully implemented with the naming discussion
resolved.
This feature is now on track to stabilization in the language.
In order to do so, we shall start using this macro in the `kernel` crate
to prove the functionality and utility of the macro as the justification
of its stabilization.
This patch makes this switch in such a way that the crate remains
backward compatible with older Rust compiler versions,
via the new Kconfig option `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE`.
A minimal demonstration example is added to the
`samples/rust/rust_print_main.rs` module.

Since we've exposed Lock::from_raw() and Guard::new() publically, we
want to be able to make sure that we assert that a lock is actually held
when constructing a Guard for it to handle instances of unsafe
Guard::new() calls outside of our lock module.
Hence add a new method assert_is_held() to Backend, which uses lockdep
to check whether or not a lock has been acquired. When lockdep is
disabled, this has no overhead.

The KMS bindings [1] have a few bindings that require manually acquiring
specific locks before calling certain functions. At the moment though,
the only way of acquiring these locks in bindings is to simply call the
C locking functions directly - since said locks are not initialized on
the Rust side of things.
However - if we add `#[repr(C)]` to `Lock<(), B>`, then given `()` is a
ZST - `Lock<(), B>` becomes equivalent in data layout to its inner
`B::State` type. Since locks in C don't have data explicitly associated
with them anyway, we can take advantage of this to add a
`Lock::from_raw()` function that can translate a raw pointer to
`B::State` into its proper `Lock<(), B>` equivalent. This lets us simply
acquire a reference to the lock in question and work with it like it was
initialized on the Rust side of things, allowing us to use less unsafe
code to implement bindings with lock requirements.
