[PATCH v3] Kbuild: fix issues with rustc-option

From: Alice Ryhl
Date: Wed Oct 09 2024 - 07:42:13 EST


Fix a few different compiler errors that cause rustc-option to give
wrong results.

If KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS or the flags being tested contain any -Z flags, then
the error below is generated. The RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP environment variable
is added to fix this error.

error: the option `Z` is only accepted on the nightly compiler
help: consider switching to a nightly toolchain: `rustup default nightly`
note: selecting a toolchain with `+toolchain` arguments require a rustup proxy;
see <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/concepts/index.html>
note: for more information about Rust's stability policy, see
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html#unstable-features>
error: 1 nightly option were parsed

Note that RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP is also defined in the top-level Makefile, but
its value is unfortunately *not* inherited from the environment. That
said, this is changing as of commit 98da874c4303 ("[SV 10593] Export
variables to $(shell ...) commands"), which is part of Make 4.4.

The probe may also fail with the error message below. To fix it, the
/dev/null argument is replaced with a file containing the crate
attribute #![no_core]. The #![no_core] attribute ensures that rustc does
not look for the standard library. It's not possible to instead supply a
standard library to rustc, as we need `rustc-option` before the Rust
standard library is compiled.

error[E0463]: can't find crate for `std`
|
= note: the `aarch64-unknown-none` target may not be installed
= help: consider downloading the target with `rustup target add aarch64-unknown-none`
= help: consider building the standard library from source with `cargo build -Zbuild-std`

The -o and --out-dir parameters are altered to fix this warning:

warning: ignoring --out-dir flag due to -o flag

The --sysroot flag is provided as we would otherwise require it to be
present in KBUILD_RUSTFLAGS. The --emit=obj flag is used to write the
resulting rlib to /dev/null instead of writing it to a file in
$(TMPOUT).

I verified that the Kconfig version of rustc-option doesn't have the
same issues.
