[ Matthew Maurer writes [1]:
This patch is fine by me - the last patch needed for KCFI to be
functional in Rust just landed upstream last night, so we should
revisit this (in the form of enabling it) once we move to
`rustc-1.79.0` or later.
Ramon de C Valle also gave feedback [2] on the status of KCFI for
Rust and created a tracking issue [3] in upstream Rust. - Miguel ]
[ Added feedback from the list, links, and used Cc for the tag. ]
Applied to `rust-fixes` -- thanks everyone! Please feel free to send
more tags for this one.
Cheers,
Miguel
