This is identical to no repr() at all. For Rust, packed and Rust, align(x), it should be the same as no Rust at all (as, afaik, #[repr(align(16))] uses the Rust ABI.)

The main use case for this is being able to explicitly say "I want to use the Rust ABI" in very very rare circumstances where the first obvious choice would be the C ABI yet is undesirable, which is already possible with functions as extern "Rust". This would be useful for silencing rust-lang/rust-clippy#11253. It's also more consistent with extern.

The lack of this also tripped me up a bit when I was new to Rust, as I expected this to be possible.

The change itself & the implementation look good to me.

However, this looks like an insta-stable change, so I'll nominate for discussion in T-compiler meeting. Question for the meeting: does this addition make sense/do we want to add it insta-stably?

Yeah I didn't put it behind a feature gate as it seems small enough, not really something that'd need further work after the PR that adds it. Also not really something imo that wouldn't want to be supported in the far future. Though if not I'm ok with putting it behind one

Rust, packed

Isn't currently packed equivalent to C, packed? At least that's what it looks like.

Maybe C and Rust are equivalent here since there is no benefit from reordering fields.

Centri3 commented Aug 1, 2023

Is that so? I wasn't entirely sure so I allowed it there.

Even if they're basically equivalent we should change it if packed isn't Rust, packed. Though it should probably be confirmed that packed isn't Rust,, I'm not particularly able to speak confidently on that ^^

I will test this once I get the chance to with Rust, packed to see if the output is the same. Though even then we probably have to be careful

Actually though, if packed is like C, packed then that may be ok if we document it and test that Rust, packed works properly (even if fields aren't recorded)

Isn't currently packed equivalent to C, packed? At least that's what it looks like.

That may be the case now but it looks like we don't guarantee it:

Inter-field padding is guaranteed to be the minimum required in order to satisfy each field's (possibly altered) alignment (although note that, on its own, packed does not provide any guarantee about field ordering).


Even if they're basically equivalent we should change it if packed isn't Rust, packed. Though it should probably be confirmed that packed isn't Rust,, I'm not particularly able to speak confidently on that ^^

Given that we don't make any guarantees about what Rust layout is, nor do we make any guarantees about the field ordering of packed, I am okay with packed changing the field order in a way that happens to agree with C, packed today. But Rust, packed should always mean the same thing as just packed.

tmandry commented Aug 8, 2023

Forgive the bikeshed, but I'd like to propose that we reserve repr(Rust) for a possible non-default stable Rust ABI to be introduced in the future.

Even if you don't think that's a good idea, the reference has a name for what we're calling repr(Rust): the "default representation". With that as inspiration I'd propose that we rename to repr(default), because that's exactly what it signifies: the default, no-guarantee representation used by the compiler. As a result I think this is actually a better name than repr(Rust).

I know people use repr(Rust) to refer to this today, but if we came up with an alternate spelling I think people would start using that instead. Given that I think repr(default) is a better name and leaves room to use repr(Rust) for something officially stable in the future, I'm raising a concern so we can discuss before stabilizing.

It is also the chapter title of https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/repr-rust.html and mentioned twice in https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/other-reprs.html too, and has been there for years, so it will be nice that it actually exists now.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.73.0 to 1.74.1
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features (that we use) were stabilized.

Therefore, the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the
`kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to
be upstreamed may increase the list (e.g. `offset_of` was added recently).

Please see [3] for details.

# Other improvements

Rust 1.74.0 allows to use `#[repr(Rust)]` explicitly [4], which can be
useful to be explicit about particular cases that would normally use
e.g. the C representation, such as silencing lints like the upcoming
additions we requested [5] to the `no_mangle_with_rust_abi` Clippy lint
(which in turn triggered the `#[repr(Rust)]` addition).

Rust 1.74.0 includes a fix for one of the false negative cases we reported
in Clippy's `disallowed_macros` lint [6] that we would like to use in
the future.

Rust 1.74.1 fixes an ICE that the Apple AGX GPU driver was hitting [7].

# Required changes

For this upgrade, no changes were required (i.e. on our side).

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

netbsd-srcmastr pushed a commit to NetBSD/pkgsrc that referenced this pull request Jan 8, 2024
Pkgsrc changes:

 * Remove NetBSD-8 support (embedded LLVm requires newer C++
   than what is in -8; it's conceivable that this could still
   build with an external LLVM)
 * undo powerpc 9.0 file naming tweak, since we no longer support -8.
 * Remove patch to LLVM for powerpc now included by upstream.
 * Minor adjustments, checksum changes etc.
