This patch series implements the necessary Rust abstractions to implement
device drivers in Rust.
This includes some basic generalizations for driver registration, handling of ID
tables, MMIO operations and device resource handling.
Those generalizations are used to implement device driver support for two
busses, the PCI and platfrom bus (with OF IDs) in order to provide some evidence
that the generalizations work as intended.
The patch series also includes two patches adding two driver samples, one PCI
driver and one platform driver.
The PCI bits are motivated by the Nova driver project [1], but are used by at
least one more OOT driver (rnvme [2]).
The platform bits, besides adding some more evidence to the base abstractions,
are required by a few more OOT drivers aiming at going upstream, i.e. rvkms [3],
cpufreq-dt [4], asahi [5] and the i2c work from Fabien [6].
The patches of this series can also be [7], [8] and [9].
Changes in v3:
==============
- add commits for `Opaque::try_ffi_init` and `InPlaceModule`
- rename `DriverOps` to `RegistrationOps`
- rework device ID abstractions to get rid of almost all macro magic (thanks to
Gary Guo for working this out!)
- this is possible due to recently stabilized language features
- add modpost alias generation for device ID tables
- unfortunately, this is the part that still requires some macro magic in the
device ID abstractions
- PCI
- represent the driver private data with the driver specific `Driver` instance
and bind it's lifetime to the time of the driver being bound to a device
- this allows us to handle class / subsystem registrations in a cleaner way
- get rid of `Driver::remove`
- Rust drivers should bind cleanup code to the `Drop` implementation of the
corresponding structure instead and put it into their driver structure for
automatic cleanup
- add a sample PCI driver
- add abstractions for `struct of_device_id`
- add abstractions for the platform bus, including a sample driver
- update the MAINTAINERS file accordingly
- currently this turns out a bit messy, but it should become better once the
build system supports a treewide distribution of the kernel crate
- I didn't add myself as maintainer, but (if requested) I'm willing to do so
and help with maintainance
Changes in v2:
==============
- statically initialize driver structures (Greg)
- move base device ID abstractions to a separate source file (Greg)
- remove `DeviceRemoval` trait in favor of using a `Devres` callback to
unregister drivers
- remove `device::Data`, we don't need this abstraction anymore now that we
`Devres` to revoke resources and registrations
- pass the module name to `Module::init` and `InPlaceModule::init` in a separate
patch
- rework of `Io` including compile time boundary checks (Miguel, Wedson)
- adjust PCI abstractions accordingly and implement a `module_pci_driver!` macro
- rework `pci::Bar` to support a const SIZE
- increase the total amount of Documentation, rephrase some safety comments and
commit messages for less ambiguity
- fix compilation issues with some documentation examples
