Hi, This patch series adds generic kernel allocator support for Rust, which so far is limited to `kmalloc` allocations. In order to abstain from (re-)adding unstable Rust features to the kernel, this patch series does not extend the `Allocator` trait from Rust's `alloc` crate, nor does it extend the `BoxExt` and `VecExt` extensions. Instead, this series introduces a kernel specific `Allocator` trait, which is implemented by the `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc` allocators, also implemented in the context of this series. As a consequence we need our own kernel `Box<T, A>` and `Vec<T, A>` types. Additionally, this series adds the following type aliases: ``` pub type KBox<T> = Box<T, Kmalloc>; pub type VBox<T> = Box<T, Vmalloc>; pub type KVBox<T> = Box<T, KVmalloc>; pub type KVec<T> = Vec<T, Kmalloc>; pub type VVec<T> = Vec<T, Vmalloc>; pub type KVVec<T> = Vec<T, KVmalloc>; ``` With that, we can start using the kernel `Box` and `Vec` types throughout the tree and remove the now obolete extensions `BoxExt` and `VecExt`. For a final cleanup, this series removes the last minor dependencies to Rust's `alloc` crate and removes it from the entire kernel build. The series ensures not to break the `rusttest` make target by implementing the `allocator_test` module providing a stub implementation for all kernel `Allocator`s. This patch series passes all KUnit tests, including the ones added by this series. Additionally, the tests were run with `kmemleak` and `KASAN` enabled, without any issues. This series is based on [1], which hit -mm/mm-unstable, and is also available in [2].
