This picks up from Michal Rostecki's work[0]. Per Michal's guidance I have omitted Co-authored tags, as the end result is quite different. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240819153656.28807-2-vadorovsky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/t/#u [0] Closes: https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/1075 Signed-off-by: Tamir Duberstein <tamird@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v9: - Rebase on rust-next. - Restore `impl Display for BStr` which exists upstream[1]. - Link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/bstr/struct.ByteStr.html#impl-Display-for-ByteStr [1] - Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250203-cstr-core-v8-0-cb3f26e78686@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v8: - Move `{from,as}_char_ptr` back to `CStrExt`. This reduces the diff some. - Restore `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut`, `to_cstring`. - Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v7-0-da1802520438@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v7: - Rebased on mainline. - Restore functionality added in commit a321f3ad0a5d ("rust: str: add {make,to}_{upper,lower}case() to CString"). - Used `diff.algorithm patience` to improve diff readability. - Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v6-0-8469cd6d29fd@xxxxxxxxx Changes in v6: - Split the work into several commits for ease of review. - Restore `{from,as}_char_ptr` to allow building on ARM (see commit message). - Add `CStrExt` to `kernel::prelude`. (Alice Ryhl) - Remove `CStrExt::from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut` and restore `DerefMut for CString`. (Alice Ryhl) - Rename and hide `kernel::c_str!` to encourage use of C-String literals. - Drop implementation and invocation changes in kunit.rs. (Trevor Gross) - Drop docs on `Display` impl. (Trevor Gross) - Rewrite docs in the style of the standard library. - Restore the `test_cstr_debug` unit tests to demonstrate that the implementation has changed. Changes in v5: - Keep the `test_cstr_display*` unit tests. Changes in v4: - Provide the `CStrExt` trait with `display()` method, which returns a `CStrDisplay` wrapper with `Display` implementation. This addresses the lack of `Display` implementation for `core::ffi::CStr`. - Provide `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut()` method in `CStrExt`, which might be useful and is going to prevent manual, unsafe casts. - Fix a typo (s/preffered/prefered/). Changes in v3: - Fix the commit message. - Remove redundant braces in `use`, when only one item is imported. Changes in v2: - Do not remove `c_str` macro. While it's preferred to use C-string literals, there are two cases where `c_str` is helpful: - When working with macros, which already return a Rust string literal (e.g. `stringify!`). - When building macros, where we want to take a Rust string literal as an argument (for caller's convenience), but still use it as a C-string internally. - Use Rust literals as arguments in macros (`new_mutex`, `new_condvar`, `new_mutex`). Use the `c_str` macro to convert these literals to C-string literals. - Use `c_str` in kunit.rs for converting the output of `stringify!` to a `CStr`. - Remove `DerefMut` implementation for `CString`. --- Tamir Duberstein (4): rust: move `CStr`'s `Display` to helper struct rust: replace `CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr` rust: replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings rust: remove core::ffi::CStr reexport drivers/gpu/drm/drm_panic_qr.rs | 6 +- drivers/net/phy/ax88796b_rust.rs | 8 +- drivers/net/phy/qt2025.rs | 6 +- rust/kernel/device.rs | 7 +- rust/kernel/devres.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/driver.rs | 4 +- rust/kernel/error.rs | 10 +- rust/kernel/faux.rs | 5 +- rust/kernel/firmware.rs | 8 +- rust/kernel/kunit.rs | 18 +- rust/kernel/lib.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/miscdevice.rs | 5 +- rust/kernel/net/phy.rs | 12 +- rust/kernel/of.rs | 5 +- rust/kernel/pci.rs | 3 +- rust/kernel/platform.rs | 7 +- rust/kernel/prelude.rs | 2 +- rust/kernel/seq_file.rs | 4 +- rust/kernel/str.rs | 499 +++++++++++++---------------------- rust/kernel/sync.rs | 4 +- rust/kernel/sync/condvar.rs | 3 +- rust/kernel/sync/lock.rs | 4 +- rust/kernel/sync/lock/global.rs | 6 +- rust/kernel/sync/poll.rs | 1 + rust/kernel/workqueue.rs | 1 + rust/macros/module.rs | 2 +- samples/rust/rust_driver_faux.rs | 4 +- samples/rust/rust_driver_pci.rs | 4 +- samples/rust/rust_driver_platform.rs | 4 +- samples/rust/rust_misc_device.rs | 3 +- 30 files changed, 256 insertions(+), 393 deletions(-) --- base-commit: 433b1bd6e0a98938105c43c0553f24e0747ef52c change-id: 20250201-cstr-core-d4b9b69120cf Best regards, -- Tamir Duberstein <tamird@xxxxxxxxx>
