Pull rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Enable a series of lints, including safety-related ones, e.g. the
compiler will now warn about missing safety comments, as well as
unnecessary ones. How safety documentation is organized is a
frequent source of review comments, thus having the compiler guide
new developers on where they are expected (and where not) is very
nice.
- Start using '#[expect]': an interesting feature in Rust (stabilized
in 1.81.0) that makes the compiler warn if an expected warning was
_not_ emitted. This is useful to avoid forgetting cleaning up
locally ignored diagnostics ('#[allow]'s).
- Introduce '.clippy.toml' configuration file for Clippy, the Rust
linter, which will allow us to tweak its behaviour. For instance,
our first use cases are declaring a disallowed macro and, more
importantly, enabling the checking of private items.
- Lints-related fixes and cleanups related to the items above.
- Migrate from 'receiver_trait' to 'arbitrary_self_types': to get the
kernel into stable Rust, one of the major pieces of the puzzle is
the support to write custom types that can be used as 'self', i.e.
as receivers, since the kernel needs to write types such as 'Arc'
that common userspace Rust would not. 'arbitrary_self_types' has
been accepted to become stable, and this is one of the steps
required to get there.
- Remove usage of the 'new_uninit' unstable feature.
- Use custom C FFI types. Includes a new 'ffi' crate to contain our
custom mapping, instead of using the standard library 'core::ffi'
one. The actual remapping will be introduced in a later cycle.
- Map '__kernel_{size_t,ssize_t,ptrdiff_t}' to 'usize'/'isize'
instead of 32/64-bit integers.
- Fix 'size_t' in bindgen generated prototypes of C builtins.
- Warn on bindgen < 0.69.5 and libclang >= 19.1 due to a double issue
in the projects, which we managed to trigger with the upcoming
tracepoint support. It includes a build test since some
distributions backported the fix (e.g. Debian -- thanks!). All
major distributions we list should be now OK except Ubuntu non-LTS.
'macros' crate:
- Adapt the build system to be able run the doctests there too; and
clean up and enable the corresponding doctests.
'kernel' crate:
- Add 'alloc' module with generic kernel allocator support and remove
the dependency on the Rust standard library 'alloc' and the
extension traits we used to provide fallible methods with flags.
Add the 'Allocator' trait and its implementations '{K,V,KV}malloc'.
Add the 'Box' type (a heap allocation for a single value of type
'T' that is also generic over an allocator and considers the
kernel's GFP flags) and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Box'. Add
'ArrayLayout' type. Add 'Vec' (a contiguous growable array type)
and its shorthand aliases '{K,V,KV}Vec', including iterator
support.
For instance, now we may write code such as:
let mut v = KVec::new();
v.push(1, GFP_KERNEL)?;
assert_eq!(&v, &[1]);
Treewide, move as well old users to these new types.
- 'sync' module: add global lock support, including the
'GlobalLockBackend' trait; the 'Global{Lock,Guard,LockedBy}' types
and the 'global_lock!' macro. Add the 'Lock::try_lock' method.
- 'error' module: optimize 'Error' type to use 'NonZeroI32' and make
conversion functions public.
- 'page' module: add 'page_align' function.
- Add 'transmute' module with the existing 'FromBytes' and 'AsBytes'
traits.
- 'block::mq::request' module: improve rendered documentation.
- 'types' module: extend 'Opaque' type documentation and add simple
examples for the 'Either' types.
drm/panic:
- Clean up a series of Clippy warnings.
Documentation:
- Add coding guidelines for lints and the '#[expect]' feature.
- Add Ubuntu to the list of distributions in the Quick Start guide.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as maintainer of the new 'alloc' module.
And a few other small cleanups and fixes"

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.

[ Added `rustdoc`, `rusttest` and KUnit tests support. Rebased on top of
`rust-next` (e.g. migrated more `core::ffi` cases). Reworded crate
docs slightly and formatted. - Miguel ]

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.

Fixes multiple trivial typos in documentation and comments of the
kernel crate.
allocator:
- Fix a trivial list item alignment issue in the last SAFETY comment of
`krealloc_aligned`.
init:
- Replace 'type' with 'trait' in the doc comments of the `PinInit` and
`Init` traits.
- Add colons before starting lists.
- Add spaces between the type and equal sign to respect the code
formatting rules in example code.
- End a sentence with a full stop instead of a colon.
ioctl:
- Replace 'an' with 'a' where appropriate.
str:
- Replace 'Return' with 'Returns' in the doc comment of `bytes_written`
as the text describes what the function does.
sync/lock:
- Fix a trivial list item alignment issue in the Safety section of the
`Backend` trait's description.
sync/lock/spinlock:
- The code in this module operates on spinlocks, not mutexes. Thus,
replace 'mutex' with 'spinlock' in the SAFETY comment of `unlock`.
workqueue:
- Replace "wont" with "won't" in the doc comment of `__enqueue`.

Sleep on a condition variable with a timeout.
This is used by Rust Binder for process freezing. There, we want to
sleep until the freeze operation completes, but we want to be able to
abort the process freezing if it doesn't complete within some timeout.
Note that it is not enough to avoid jiffies by introducing a variant of
`CondVar::wait_timeout` that takes the timeout in msecs because we need
to be able to restart the sleep with the remaining sleep duration if it
is interrupted, and if the API takes msecs rather than jiffies, then
that would require a conversion roundtrip jiffies->msecs->jiffies that
is best avoided.

It releases the lock, executes some function provided by the caller,
then reacquires the lock. This is preparation for the implementation of
condvars, which will sleep after between unlocking and relocking.
We need an explicit `relock` method for primitives like `SpinLock` that
have an irqsave variant: we use the guard state to determine if the lock
was originally acquired with the regular `lock` function or
`lock_irqsave`.
