Rust changes for v6.13

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.

 That is, the equivalent of ``GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_IN`` would be referred to as
 ``gpio::LineDirection::In``. In particular, it should not be named
 ``gpio::gpio_line_direction::GPIO_LINE_DIRECTION_IN``.
+
+
+Lints
+-----
+
+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
+[#]_:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	#pragma GCC diagnostic push
+	#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-function"
+	static void f(void) {}
+	#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
+
+.. [#] In this particular case, the kernel's ``__{always,maybe}_unused``
+       attributes (C23's ``[[maybe_unused]]``) may be used; however, the example
+       is meant to reflect the equivalent lint in Rust discussed afterwards.
+
+But way less verbose:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	#[allow(dead_code)]
+	fn f() {}
+
+By that virtue, it makes it possible to comfortably enable more diagnostics by
+default (i.e. outside ``W=`` levels). In particular, those that may have some
+false positives but that are otherwise quite useful to keep enabled to catch
+potential mistakes.
+
+On top of that, Rust provides the ``expect`` attribute which takes this further.
+It makes the compiler warn if the warning was not produced. For instance, the
+following will ensure that, when ``f()`` is called somewhere, we will have to
+remove the attribute:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	#[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, which
+may happen in several situations, e.g.:
+
+- Temporary attributes added while developing.
+
+- Improvements in lints in the compiler, Clippy or custom tools which may
+  remove a false positive.
+
+- When the lint is not needed anymore because it was expected that it would be
+  removed at some point, such as the ``dead_code`` example above.
+
+It also increases the visibility of the remaining ``allow``\ s and reduces the
+chance of misapplying one.
+
+Thus prefer ``expect`` over ``allow`` unless:
+
+- Conditional compilation triggers the warning in some cases but not others.
+
+  If there are only a few cases where the warning triggers (or does not
+  trigger) compared to the total number of cases, then one may consider using
+  a conditional ``expect`` (i.e. ``cfg_attr(..., expect(...))``). Otherwise,
+  it is likely simpler to just use ``allow``.
+
+- Inside macros, when the different invocations may create expanded code that
+  triggers the warning in some cases but not in others.
+
+- When code may trigger a warning for some architectures but not others, such
+  as an ``as`` cast to a C FFI type.
+
+As a more developed example, consider for instance this program:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	fn g() {}
+
+	fn main() {
+	    #[cfg(CONFIG_X)]
+	    g();
+	}
+
+Here, function ``g()`` is dead code if ``CONFIG_X`` is not set. Can we use
+``expect`` here?
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	#[expect(dead_code)]
+	fn g() {}
+
+	fn main() {
+	    #[cfg(CONFIG_X)]
+	    g();
+	}
+
+This would emit a lint if ``CONFIG_X`` is set, since it is not dead code in that
+configuration. Therefore, in cases like this, we cannot use ``expect`` as-is.
+
+A simple possibility is using ``allow``:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	#[allow(dead_code)]
+	fn g() {}
+
+	fn main() {
+	    #[cfg(CONFIG_X)]
+	    g();
+	}
+
+An alternative would be using a conditional ``expect``:
+
+.. code-block:: rust
+
+	#[cfg_attr(not(CONFIG_X), expect(dead_code))]
+	fn g() {}
+
+	fn main() {
+	    #[cfg(CONFIG_X)]
+	    g();
+	}
+
+This would ensure that, if someone introduces another call to ``g()`` somewhere
+(e.g. unconditionally), then it would be spotted that it is not dead code
+anymore. However, the ``cfg_attr`` is more complex than a simple ``allow``.
+
+Therefore, it is likely that it is not worth using conditional ``expect``\ s when
+more than one or two configurations are involved or when the lint may be
+triggered due to non-local changes (such as ``dead_code``).

+/// The kernel's [`Box`] type -- a heap allocation for a single value of type `T`.
+///
+/// This is the kernel's version of the Rust stdlib's `Box`. There are several differences,
+/// for example no `noalias` attribute is emitted and partially moving out of a `Box` is not
+/// supported. There are also several API differences, e.g. `Box` always requires an [`Allocator`]
+/// implementation to be passed as generic, page [`Flags`] when allocating memory and all functions
+/// that may allocate memory are fallible.
+///
+/// `Box` works with any of the kernel's allocators, e.g. [`Kmalloc`], [`Vmalloc`] or [`KVmalloc`].
+/// There are aliases for `Box` with these allocators ([`KBox`], [`VBox`], [`KVBox`]).
+///
+/// When dropping a [`Box`], the value is also dropped and the heap memory is automatically freed.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// let b = KBox::<u64>::new(24_u64, GFP_KERNEL)?;
+///
+/// assert_eq!(*b, 24_u64);
+/// # Ok::<(), Error>(())
+/// ```
+///
+/// ```

+/// struct Huge([u8; SIZE]);
+///
+/// assert!(KVBox::<Huge>::new_uninit(GFP_KERNEL).is_ok());
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Invariants

+/// `self.0` is always properly aligned and either points to memory allocated with `A` or, for
+/// zero-sized types, is a dangling, well aligned pointer.
