Char/Misc/IIO/and others driver updates for 7.1-rc1
Here is the char/misc/iio and other smaller driver subsystem updates for
7.1-rc1. Lots of stuff in here, all tiny, but relevant for the
different drivers they touch. Major points in here is:
- the usual large set of new IIO drivers and updates for that
subsystem (the large majority of this diffstat)
- lots of comedi driver updates and bugfixes
- coresight driver updates
- interconnect driver updates and additions
- mei driver updates
- binder (both rust and C versions) updates and fixes
- lots of other smaller driver subsystem updates and additions
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues.

Rust changes for v7.1
Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Bump the minimum Rust version to 1.85.0 (and 'bindgen' to 0.71.1).
As proposed in LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are going
to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum versions.
Debian Trixie was released on 2025-08-09 with a Rust 1.85.0 and
'bindgen' 0.71.1 toolchain, which is a fair amount of time for e.g.
kernel developers to upgrade.
Other major distributions support a Rust version that is high enough
as well, including:
+ Arch Linux.
+ Fedora Linux.
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ Nix.
+ openSUSE Slowroll and openSUSE Tumbleweed.
+ Ubuntu 25.10 and 26.04 LTS. In addition, 24.04 LTS using
their versioned packages.
The merged patch series comes with the associated cleanups and
simplifications treewide that can be performed thanks to both bumps,
as well as documentation updates.
In addition, start using 'bindgen''s '--with-attribute-custom-enum'
feature to set the 'cfi_encoding' attribute for the 'lru_status' enum
used in Binder.
Link: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050174/ [1]
- Add experimental Kconfig option ('CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS') that
inlines C helpers into Rust.
Essentially, it performs a step similar to LTO, but just for the
helpers, i.e. very local and fast.
It relies on 'llvm-link' and its '--internalize' flag, and requires
a compatible LLVM between Clang and 'rustc' (i.e. same major version,
'CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE'). It is only enabled for two
architectures for now.
The result is a measurable speedup in different workloads that
different users have tested. For instance, for the null block driver,
it amounts to a 2%.
- Support global per-version flags.
While we already have per-version flags in many places, we didn't
have a place to set global ones that depend on the compiler version,
i.e. in 'rust_common_flags', which sometimes is needed to e.g. tweak
the lints set per version.
Use that to allow the 'clippy::precedence' lint for Rust < 1.86.0,
since it had a change in behavior.
- Support overriding the crate name and apply it to Rust Binder, which
wanted the module to be called 'rust_binder'.
- Add the remaining '__rust_helper' annotations (started in the
previous cycle).
'kernel' crate:
- Introduce the 'const_assert!' macro: a more powerful version of
'static_assert!' that can refer to generics inside functions or
implementation bodies, e.g.:
fn f<const N: usize>() {
const_assert!(N > 1);
}
fn g<T>() {
const_assert!(size_of::<T>() > 0, "T cannot be ZST");
}
In addition, reorganize our set of build-time assertion macros
('{build,const,static_assert}!') to live in the 'build_assert'
module.
Finally, improve the docs as well to clarify how these are different
from one another and how to pick the right one to use, and their
equivalence (if any) to the existing C ones for extra clarity.
- 'sizes' module: add 'SizeConstants' trait.
This gives us typed 'SZ_*' constants (avoiding casts) for use in
device address spaces where the address width depends on the hardware
(e.g. 32-bit MMIO windows, 64-bit GPU framebuffers, etc.), e.g.:
let gpu_heap = 14 * u64::SZ_1M;
let mmio_window = u32::SZ_16M;
- 'clk' module: implement 'Send' and 'Sync' for 'Clk' and thus simplify
the users in Tyr and PWM.
- 'ptr' module: add 'const_align_up'.
- 'str' module: improve the documentation of the 'c_str!' macro to
explain that one should only use it for non-literal cases (for the
other case we instead use C string literals, e.g. 'c"abc"').
- Disallow the use of 'CStr::{as_ptr,from_ptr}' and clean one such use
in the 'task' module.
- 'sync' module: finish the move of 'ARef' and 'AlwaysRefCounted'
outside of the 'types' module, i.e. update the last remaining
instances and finally remove the re-exports.
- 'error' module: clarify that 'from_err_ptr' can return 'Ok(NULL)',
including runtime-tested examples.
The intention is to hopefully prevent UB that assumes the result of
the function is not 'NULL' if successful. This originated from a case
of UB I noticed in 'regulator' that created a 'NonNull' on it.
Timekeeping:
- Expand the example section in the 'HrTimer' documentation.
- Mark the 'ClockSource' trait as unsafe to ensure valid values for
'ktime_get()'.
- Add 'Delta::from_nanos()'.
'pin-init' crate:
- Replace the 'Zeroable' impls for 'Option<NonZero*>' with impls of
'ZeroableOption' for 'NonZero*'.
- Improve feature gate handling for unstable features.
- Declutter the documentation of implementations of 'Zeroable' for
tuples.
- Replace uses of 'addr_of[_mut]!' with '&raw [mut]'.
rust-analyzer:
- Add type annotations to 'generate_rust_analyzer.py'.
- Add support for scripts written in Rust ('generate_rust_target.rs',
'rustdoc_test_builder.rs', 'rustdoc_test_gen.rs').
- Refactor 'generate_rust_analyzer.py' to explicitly identify host and
target crates, improve readability, and reduce duplication.
And some other fixes, cleanups and improvements.

rust_binder: use AssertSync for BINDER_VM_OPS
When declaring an immutable global variable in Rust, the compiler checks
that it looks thread safe, because it is generally safe to access said
global variable. When using C bindings types for these globals, we don't
really want this check, because it is conservative and assumes pointers
are not thread safe.
In the case of BINDER_VM_OPS, this is a challenge when combined with the
patch 'userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_ops' [1], which introduces a
pointer field to vm_operations_struct. It previously only held function
pointers, which are considered thread safe.
Rust Binder should not be assuming that vm_operations_struct contains no
pointer fields, so to fix this, use AssertSync (which Rust Binder has
already declared for another similar global of type struct
file_operations with the same problem). This ensures that even if
another commit adds a pointer field to vm_operations_struct, this does
not cause problems.
Fixes:

rust: redefine bindings::compat_ptr_ioctl in Rust
There is currently an inconsistency between C and Rust, which is that when Rust requires cfg(CONFIG_COMPAT) on compat_ioctl when using the compat_ptr_ioctl symbol because '#define compat_ptr_ioctl NULL' does not get translated to anything by bindgen. But it's not *just* a matter of translating the '#define' into Rust when CONFIG_COMPAT=n. This is because when CONFIG_COMPAT=y, the type of compat_ptr_ioctl is a non-nullable function pointer, and to seamlessly use it regardless of the config, we need a nullable function pointer. I think it's important to do something about this; I've seen the mistake of accidentally forgetting '#[cfg(CONFIG_COMPAT)]' when compat_ptr_ioctl is used multiple times now. This explicitly declares 'bindings::compat_ptr_ioctl' as an Option that is always defined but might be None. This matches C, but isn't ideal: it modifies the bindings crate. But I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it. If we just redefine in kernel/, then people may still use the one in bindings::, since that is where you would normally find it. I am open to suggestions.

rust_binder: Fix build failure if !CONFIG_COMPAT
The bindgen utility cannot handle "#define compat_ptr_ioctl NULL" in the C header, so we need to handle this case on our own. Simply skip this field in the initializer when !CONFIG_COMPAT as the SAFETY comment above this initializer implies this is allowed.

rust_binder: add binder_transaction tracepoint
This patch adds the binder_transaction tracepoint to Rust Binder. This was chosen as the next tracepoint to add as it is the most complex tracepoint. (And it's also an important tracepoint known to perfetto.)

rust_binder: use compat_ptr_ioctl
Binder always treats the ioctl argument as a pointer. In this scenario, the idiomatic way to implement compat_ioctl is to use compat_ptr_ioctl. Thus update Rust Binder to do that.

rust_binder: add Rust Binder driver
We're generally not proponents of rewrites (nasty uncomfortable things that make you late for dinner!). So why rewrite Binder? Binder has been evolving over the past 15+ years to meet the evolving needs of Android. Its responsibilities, expectations, and complexity have grown considerably during that time. While we expect Binder to continue to evolve along with Android, there are a number of factors that currently constrain our ability to develop/maintain it. Briefly those are: 1. Complexity: Binder is at the intersection of everything in Android and fulfills many responsibilities beyond IPC. It has become many things to many people, and due to its many features and their interactions with each other, its complexity is quite high. In just 6kLOC it must deliver transactions to the right threads. It must correctly parse and translate the contents of transactions, which can contain several objects of different types (e.g., pointers, fds) that can interact with each other. It controls the size of thread pools in userspace, and ensures that transactions are assigned to threads in ways that avoid deadlocks where the threadpool has run out of threads. It must track refcounts of objects that are shared by several processes by forwarding refcount changes between the processes correctly. It must handle numerous error scenarios and it combines/nests 13 different locks, 7 reference counters, and atomic variables. Finally, It must do all of this as fast and efficiently as possible. Minor performance regressions can cause a noticeably degraded user experience. 2. Things to improve: Thousand-line functions [1], error-prone error handling [2], and confusing structure can occur as a code base grows organically. After more than a decade of development, this codebase could use an overhaul. [1]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/android/binder.c?h=v6.5#n2896 [2]: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/android/binder.c?h=v6.5#n3658 3. Security critical: Binder is a critical part of Android's sandboxing strategy. Even Android's most de-privileged sandboxes (e.g. the Chrome renderer, or SW Codec) have direct access to Binder. More than just about any other component, it's important that Binder provide robust security, and itself be robust against security vulnerabilities. It's #1 (high complexity) that has made continuing to evolve Binder and resolving #2 (tech debt) exceptionally difficult without causing #3 (security issues). For Binder to continue to meet Android's needs, we need better ways to manage (and reduce!) complexity without increasing the risk. The biggest change is obviously the choice of programming language. We decided to use Rust because it directly addresses a number of the challenges within Binder that we have faced during the last years. It prevents mistakes with ref counting, locking, bounds checking, and also does a lot to reduce the complexity of error handling. Additionally, we've been able to use the more expressive type system to encode the ownership semantics of the various structs and pointers, which takes the complexity of managing object lifetimes out of the hands of the programmer, reducing the risk of use-after-frees and similar problems. Rust has many different pointer types that it uses to encode ownership semantics into the type system, and this is probably one of the most important aspects of how it helps in Binder. The Binder driver has a lot of different objects that have complex ownership semantics; some pointers own a refcount, some pointers have exclusive ownership, and some pointers just reference the object and it is kept alive in some other manner. With Rust, we can use a different pointer type for each kind of pointer, which enables the compiler to enforce that the ownership semantics are implemented correctly. Another useful feature is Rust's error handling. Rust allows for more simplified error handling with features such as destructors, and you get compilation failures if errors are not properly handled. This means that even though Rust requires you to spend more lines of code than C on things such as writing down invariants that are left implicit in C, the Rust driver is still slightly smaller than C binder: Rust is 5.5kLOC and C is 5.8kLOC. (These numbers are excluding blank lines, comments, binderfs, and any debugging facilities in C that are not yet implemented in the Rust driver. The numbers include abstractions in rust/kernel/ that are unlikely to be used by other drivers than Binder.) Although this rewrite completely rethinks how the code is structured and how assumptions are enforced, we do not fundamentally change *how* the driver does the things it does. A lot of careful thought has gone into the existing design. The rewrite is aimed rather at improving code health, structure, readability, robustness, security, maintainability and extensibility. We also include more inline documentation, and improve how assumptions in the code are enforced. Furthermore, all unsafe code is annotated with a SAFETY comment that explains why it is correct. We have left the binderfs filesystem component in C. Rewriting it in Rust would be a large amount of work and requires a lot of bindings to the file system interfaces. Binderfs has not historically had the same challenges with security and complexity, so rewriting binderfs seems to have lower value than the rest of Binder. Correctness and feature parity ------------------------------ Rust binder passes all tests that validate the correctness of Binder in the Android Open Source Project. We can boot a device, and run a variety of apps and functionality without issues. We have performed this both on the Cuttlefish Android emulator device, and on a Pixel 6 Pro. As for feature parity, Rust binder currently implements all features that C binder supports, with the exception of some debugging facilities. The missing debugging facilities will be added before we submit the Rust implementation upstream. Tracepoints ----------- I did not include all of the tracepoints as I felt that the mechansim for making C access fields of Rust structs should be discussed on list separately. I also did not include the support for building Rust Binder as a module since that requires exporting a bunch of additional symbols on the C side.
