This series mainly adds support for `CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION` (which is needed for other upcoming series) as well as support for rebuilding the kernel when the Rust compiler version text changes, plus other secondary improvements. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240808221138.873750-1-ojeda@xxxxxxxxxx/ v2: - Dropped patch #2 "kbuild: rust: make command for `RUSTC_VERSION_TEXT` closer to the `CC` one" (Masahiro, Björn). In other words, now the `RUSTC_VERSION_TEXT` command is kept as it was, without `LC_ALL=1` nor `| head -n1`. - Replaced `macros` crate dependency with a comment in the code that `fixdep` will find, since we can do it for that one, unlike `core` (Masahiro, Nicolas). - Added patch (here #5) to add a warning when the Rust compiler used to build the kernel differs from the one used to build an out-of-tree module, like the C side does (Nicolas). If the patch is not wanted, then it can be skipped without much loss, since anyway Rust will fail to compile in that case. However, it would be nice to have to prevent potentially unexpected situations and to clarify the errors that `rustc` would emit later. See the commit message for more details. - Rewrapped comment to stay under 80 lines (Nicolas). - Picked up a couple tags that could more or less be reasonably taken given the changes to v2. Re-runs of tests welcome!
