- Add missing Markdown code spans.
- Improve title for `DeviceId`, adding a link to the struct in the
C side, rather than referring to `bindings::`.
- Convert `TODO` from documentation to a normal comment, and put code

This was found using the Clippy `doc_markdown` lint, which we may want

Rust kernel code is supposed to use the custom mapping of C FFI types,
i.e. those from the `ffi` crate, rather than the ones coming from `core`.
Thus, to minimize mistakes and to simplify the code everywhere, just
provide them in the `kernel` prelude and ask in the Coding Guidelines
to use them directly, i.e. as a single segment path.
After this lands, we can start cleaning up the existing users.
Ideally, we would use something like Clippy's `disallowed-types` to
prevent the use of the `core` ones, but that one sees through aliases.

[ Naresh provided the draft diff [1].
Ben explained [2]:
FDPIC is only relevant with no-MMU targets, and then only for userspace.
When configured for the arm-*-uclinuxfdpiceabi target, GCC enables FDPIC
by default to facilitate compiling userspace programs. FDPIC is never
used for the kernel, and we pass -mno-fdpic when building the kernel to
override the default and make sure FDPIC is disabled.
and [3]:
-mno-fdpic disables a GCC feature that we don't want for kernel builds.
clang does not support this feature, so it always behaves as though
-mno-fdpic is passed. Therefore, it should be fine to mix the two, at
least as far as FDPIC is concerned.

`bindgen` currently generates the wrong type for an `enum` when there
is a forward reference to it. For instance:
enum E;
enum E { A };
generates:
pub const E_A: E = 0;
pub type E = i32;
instead of the expected:
pub const E_A: E = 0;
pub type E = ffi::c_uint;
The issue was reported to upstream `bindgen` [1].
Now, both GCC and Clang support silently these forward references to
`enum` types, unless `-Wpedantic` is passed, and it turns out that some
headers in the kernel depend on them.
Thus, depending on how the headers are included, which in turn may depend
on the kernel configuration or the architecture, we may get a different
type on the Rust side for a given C `enum`.
That can be quite confusing, to say the least, especially since
developers may only notice issues when building for other architectures
like in [2]. In particular, they may end up forcing a cast and adding
an `#[allow(clippy::unnecessary_cast)]` like it was done in commit
94e05a66ea ("rust: hrtimer: allow timer restart from timer handler"),
which isn't great.
Instead, let's have a section at the top of our `bindings_helper.h` that
`#include`s the headers with the affected types -- hopefully there are
not many cases and there is a single ordering that covers all cases.
This allows us to remove the cast and the `#[allow]`, thus keeping the
correct code in the source files. When the issue gets resolved in upstream
`bindgen` (and we update our minimum `bindgen` version), we can easily
remove this section at the top.

Add basic examples for the structure "List", which also serve as unit
tests for basic list methods. It includes the following manipulations:
* List creation
* List emptiness check
* List insertion through push_front(), push_back()
* List item removal through pop_front(), pop_back()
* Push one list to another through push_all_back()
The method "remove()" doesn't have an example here because insertion
with push_front() or push_back() will take the ownership of the item,
which means we can't keep any valid reference to the node we want to
remove, unless Cursor is used. The "remove" example through Cursor is
already demonstrated with commit 52ae96f518 ("rust: list: make the

Pass PHY driver pointer to .match_phy_device OP in addition to phydev.
Having access to the PHY driver struct might be useful to check the
PHY ID of the driver is being matched for in case the PHY ID scanned in
the phydev is not consistent.
A scenario for this is a PHY that change PHY ID after a firmware is
loaded, in such case, the PHY ID stored in PHY device struct is not
valid anymore and PHY will manually scan the ID in the match_phy_device
function.
Having the PHY driver info is also useful for those PHY driver that
implement multiple simple .match_phy_device OP to match specific MMD PHY
ID. With this extra info if the parsing logic is the same, the matching
function can be generalized by using the phy_id in the PHY driver
instead of hardcoding.
Rust wrapper callback is updated to align to the new match_phy_device
arguments.

Currently we are requiring AlwaysRefCounted in most trait bounds for gem
objects, and implementing it by hand for our only current type of gem
object. However, all gem objects use the same functions for reference
counting - and all gem objects support reference counting.
We're planning on adding support for shmem gem objects, let's move this
around a bit by instead making IntoGEMObject require AlwaysRefCounted as a
trait bound, and then provide a blanket AlwaysRefCounted implementation for
any object that implements IntoGEMObject so all gem object types can use
the same AlwaysRefCounted implementation. This also makes things less
verbose by making the AlwaysRefCounted trait bound implicit for any
IntoGEMObject bound.

Signed-off-by: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>
There's a few issues with this function, mainly:
* This function -probably- should have been unsafe from the start. Pointers
are not always necessarily valid, but you want a function that does
field-projection for a pointer that can travel outside of the original
struct to be unsafe, at least if I understand properly.
* *mut Self is not terribly useful in this context, the majority of uses of
from_gem_obj() grab a *mut Self and then immediately convert it into a
&'a Self. It also goes against the ffi conventions we've set in the rest
of the kernel thus far.
* from_gem_obj() also doesn't follow the naming conventions in the rest of
the DRM bindings at the moment, as_ref() would be a better name.
So, let's:
* Make from_gem_obj() unsafe
* Convert it to return &'a Self
* Rename it to as_ref()
* Update all call locations

Add the initial nova-drm driver skeleton.
nova-drm is connected to nova-core through the auxiliary bus and
implements the DRM parts of the nova driver stack.
For now, it implements the fundamental DRM abstractions, i.e. creates a
DRM device and registers it, exposing a three sample IOCTLs.
DRM_IOCTL_NOVA_GETPARAM
- provides the PCI bar size from the bar that maps the GPUs VRAM
from nova-core
DRM_IOCTL_NOVA_GEM_CREATE
- creates a new dummy DRM GEM object and returns a handle
DRM_IOCTL_NOVA_GEM_INFO
- provides metadata for the DRM GEM object behind a given handle
I implemented a small userspace test suite [1] that utilizes this

The doctest requires `CONFIG_PCI`:
error[E0432]: unresolved import `kernel::pci`
--> rust/doctests_kernel_generated.rs:2689:44
|
2689 | use kernel::{device::Core, devres::Devres, pci};
| ^^^ no `pci` in the root
|
note: found an item that was configured out
--> rust/kernel/lib.rs:96:9
note: the item is gated here
--> rust/kernel/lib.rs:95:1
Thus conditionally compile it (which still checks the syntax).

Introduce a new type called `CurrentTask` that lets you perform various
operations that are only safe on the `current` task. Use the new type to
provide a way to access the current mm without incrementing its refcount.
With this change, you can write stuff such as
let vma = current!().mm().lock_vma_under_rcu(addr);
without incrementing any refcounts.
This replaces the existing abstractions for accessing the current pid
namespace. With the old approach, every field access to current involves
both a macro and a unsafe helper function. The new approach simplifies
that to a single safe function on the `CurrentTask` type. This makes it
less heavy-weight to add additional current accessors in the future.
That said, creating a `CurrentTask` type like the one in this patch
requires that we are careful to ensure that it cannot escape the current
task or otherwise access things after they are freed. To do this, I
declared that it cannot escape the current "task context" where I defined
a "task context" as essentially the region in which `current` remains
unchanged. So e.g., release_task() or begin_new_exec() would leave the
task context.
If a userspace thread returns to userspace and later makes another
syscall, then I consider the two syscalls to be different task contexts.
This allows values stored in that task to be modified between syscalls,
even if they're guaranteed to be immutable during a syscall.
Ensuring correctness of `CurrentTask` is slightly tricky if we also want
the ability to have a safe `kthread_use_mm()` implementation in Rust. To
support that safely, there are two patterns we need to ensure are safe:
// Case 1: current!() called inside the scope.
let mm;
kthread_use_mm(some_mm, || {
mm = current!().mm();
});
drop(some_mm);
mm.do_something(); // UAF
and:
// Case 2: current!() called before the scope.
let mm;
let task = current!();
kthread_use_mm(some_mm, || {
mm = task.mm();
});
drop(some_mm);
mm.do_something(); // UAF
The existing `current!()` abstraction already natively prevents the first
case: The `&CurrentTask` would be tied to the inner scope, so the
borrow-checker ensures that no reference derived from it can escape the
scope.
Fixing the second case is a bit more tricky. The solution is to
essentially pretend that the contents of the scope execute on an different
thread, which means that only thread-safe types can cross the boundary.
Since `CurrentTask` is marked `NotThreadSafe`, attempts to move it to
another thread will fail, and this includes our fake pretend thread
boundary.
This has the disadvantage that other types that aren't thread-safe for
reasons unrelated to `current` also cannot be moved across the
`kthread_use_mm()` boundary. I consider this an acceptable tradeoff.
