[GIT PULL] Rust `hrtimer` support for v6.15
From: Andreas Hindborg
Date: Thu Mar 13 2025 - 09:16:17 EST
Hi Miguel,
Please pull the Rust support for hrtimer for v6.15.
This initial support allows for intrusive use of timers without
allocating when starting a timer. We support `Pin<Box<T>>`, `Arc<T>`,
`Pin<&T>` and `Pin<&mut T>` pointer types for working with these
intrusive timers. We support at most one `HrTimer` field in a struct for
use with this API.
For now, the primary users will be the Rust null block driver, `rnull`,
and the Rust kernel mode setting driver `rkvms`. I expect us to add more
features to the API as the demands from users grow.
The PR also includes two changes for the core rust and rust/alloc
subsytems that are dependencies of the hrtimer Rust API: `Arc::as_ptr`
and `Box::into_pin`. The alloc change was Ack'd by Danilo.
The commits were in linux-next since next-20250313.
The following changes since commit a64dcfb451e254085a7daee5fe51bf22959d52d3:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Rust hrtimer API for v6.15
Introduce Rust support for the `hrtimer` subsystem:
- Add a way to use the `hrtimer` subsystem from Rust. Rust code can now set up
intrusive timers without allocating when starting the timer.
- Add support for `Pin<Box<_>>`, `Arc<_>`, `Pin<&_>` and `Pin<&mut _>` as
pointer types for use with timer callbacks.
- Add support for setting clock source and timer mode.
`kernel` crate:
- Add `Arc::as_ptr` for converting an `Arc` to a raw pointer. This is a
dependency for the `hrtimer` API.
- Add `Box::into_pin` for converting a `Box<_>` into a `Pin<Box<_>>` to align
with Rust `alloc`. This is a dependency for the `hrtimer` API.
