[PATCH v11 0/2] rust: input: add input/serio abstractions and port Gravis Stinger driver

[Vecheslav Filatov]

This patch series introduces safe Rust abstractions for Linux input
devices (struct input_dev) and the serio (Serial I/O) bus subsystem,
along with a port of the legacy Gravis Stinger serial gamepad driver
to safe Rust.

Changes in v11:
  - serio: changed Driver::init() parameter from &Device<device::Bound>
    to &Device (i.e. &Device<device::Normal>) and Registration::
    connect_callback() cast to Device, because serio connect callbacks
    run outside driver core really_probe() probe context without devres
    release guarantees on connection failure.
  - joystick/stinger_rust: updated StingerDriver::init() signature to
    accept &serio::Device and removed now-unused device import.

Changes in v10:
  - serio: removed wrapper module and aliases, directly mapping
    Registration::interrupt_callback() to canonical constants
    bindings::irqreturn::IRQ_NONE and bindings::irqreturn::IRQ_HANDLED.

Changes in v9:
  - serio: updated Registration::interrupt_callback() to map IRQ
    return codes using module-level constants.

Changes in v8:
  - serio: simplified IRQ return constants to module-level definitions
    with direct crate::bindings import without extra wrapper modules.

Changes in v7:
  - serio: scoped the lifetime of borrowed mut data inside
    connect_callback() to drop before calling serio_continue_rx(),
    preventing aliasing violations with incoming interrupts.
  - joystick: added RUSTFLAGS_stinger_rust.o := --crate-name stinger
    in Makefile to ensure built-in modpost device table aliases match
    the canonical module name "stinger".

Changes in v6:
  - Developer identity: updated author and Signed-off-by to developer's
    real name (Vecheslav Filatov) across all commits in compliance with
    the Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO).

Changes in v5:
  - serio: decoupled child device allocation and publication in Driver
    lifecycle (init -> start -> attach). Child input devices are
    allocated and configured before opening the port, but only registered
    via Driver::start() after serio_open() succeeds. This prevents
    premature registration and spurious uevents on probe failures.
  - serio: added C wrappers rust_helper_serio_pause_rx() and
    rust_helper_serio_continue_rx() to safely attach child devices in
    Driver::attach() under hardware RX pause, eliminating races with
    concurrent interrupts without sleeping.
  - serio: removed redundant Device::as_device() method and made
    Device::as_raw() crate-private (pub(crate)), relying on the standard
    AsRef<device::Device> implementation.

Changes in v4:
  - Makefile: restored analog.o and db9.o in joystick Makefile
    that were inadvertently removed during previous revisions.
  - serio: eliminated concurrent borrow_mut() and aliasing data races
    between connect_callback() and interrupt_callback() by initializing
    and registering the input device prior to serio_open().
  - serio: mapped interrupt return codes without missing constants.
  - serio & stinger: formatted all module imports in strict vertical
    style with trailing // comments.
  - serio: annotated Registration::drop() and Driver::disconnect() with
    #[inline].

Changes in v3:
  - input: added AllocatedDevice::set_phys_from_parent() to dynamically
    format the physical device path ("%s/input0") in an owned kernel
    heap buffer.
  - input: managed parent device reference counts in set_parent(), drop(),
    and register() using get_device()/put_device() to avoid dangling
    pointers and reference leaks.
  - input: eliminated manual cleanup duplication in register() by checking
    to_result() before mem::forget(self).
  - input: implemented Send and Sync for AllocatedDevice, added #[inline]
    on small methods, and formatted imports vertically.
  - serio: integrated serio::Device with kernel device abstractions via
    AsBusDevice, impl_device_context_deref!, and AsRef<device::Device>.
  - stinger: restored userspace-visible device name ("Gravis Stinger")
    and dynamic phys path, preserving udev and EVIOCGNAME compatibility.
  - stinger: maintained module name "stinger.ko" using Kbuild object
    aliasing under CONFIG_JOYSTICK_STINGER_RUST.

Changes in v2:
  - Combined serio subsystem abstractions and Gravis Stinger driver
    port into a single patch (2/2).
  - Retained original C driver (stinger.c) under CONFIG_JOYSTICK_STINGER
    and introduced CONFIG_JOYSTICK_STINGER_RUST to avoid regressions on
    architectures and configurations without Rust support.
  - Ensured IS_REACHABLE() guards for C helpers and #[cfg(CONFIG_* = "y")]
    for rust/kernel modules to prevent unresolved symbols.

[PATCH v11 1/2] rust: input: add input device abstractions

[Vecheslav Filatov]

Add safe Rust abstractions for Linux input devices (struct input_dev).

This provides:
- `AllocatedDevice`: a newly allocated, unregistered input device handle
  that allows configuring capabilities (keys, absolute axis limits, parent
  device) before registration.
- Safe string methods: `set_name` and `set_phys` accept `&'static CStr`
  to prevent use-after-free since the input core does not copy strings.
- `set_phys_from_parent`: dynamic physical location path formatting
  ("%s/input0") stored safely in an owned kernel heap buffer.
- Device lifecycle and reference count management: `set_parent` takes
  a reference count via `bindings::get_device` to avoid dangling pointers,
  releasing it appropriately on drop or post-registration.
- Bounds-checked `set_abs_params` validating `axis < ABS_CNT` (0x40)
  to prevent memory corruption in `dev->absinfo`.
- `RegisteredDevice`: a registered input device handle providing safe,
  inlined methods to report keys, absolute coordinates, and synchronization
  events. Automatically calls `input_unregister_device` on drop (RAII).
- Constants for bus types (`bus::*`) and event types (`event_type::*`).
- Alphabetically sorted imports and module entries gated with
  `#[cfg(CONFIG_INPUT = "y")]` and `#if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_INPUT)`
  to avoid link failures when CONFIG_INPUT is disabled or modular.

[PATCH v11 2/2] rust: serio: add serio bus abstractions and port Gravis Stinger driver

[Vecheslav Filatov]

Add safe Rust abstractions for the serio (Serial I/O) bus subsystem and
port the legacy Gravis Stinger serial gamepad driver to safe Rust.

This introduces:
- DeviceId: a transparent wrapper around struct serio_device_id
  implementing RawDeviceId for type-safe matching tables.
- IdTable and serio_device_table! macro: guarantees a zero sentinel
  termination entry at compile time and creates modpost device aliases.
- Device: a serio port device instance implementing AsBusDevice,
  impl_device_context_deref!, and AsRef<device::Device>.
- Port lifecycle & interrupt race protection: T::init initializes
  driver state and allocates input devices, storing drvdata BEFORE
  serio_open() opens the hardware port. T::start publishes child
  devices only after serio_open() succeeds, and T::attach safely
  binds them under serio_pause_rx with bounded borrow_mut lifetime.
- IrqReturn mapping: directly returns bindings::irqreturn_IRQ_*
  constants without constructor calls or UB.
- Driver trait: safe interface for serio drivers (init, start,
  attach, interrupt, disconnect).
- Registration<T>: safe RAII registration adapter that stores
  Opaque<bindings::serio_driver> inside Pin<KBox<...>> and calls
  __serio_register_driver with the caller's &'static ThisModule
  to correctly track module ownership.
- stinger_rust: port of the Gravis Stinger serial gamepad driver in
  safe Rust (drivers/input/joystick/stinger_rust.rs), containing zero
  unsafe blocks, preserving the userspace device name ("Gravis Stinger")
  for udev/EVIOCGNAME, dynamically formatting phys paths ("%s/input0"),
  and compiling as the standard stinger.ko module name with crate-name
  stinger for correct builtin modalias.
- Non-regression Kconfig: adds CONFIG_JOYSTICK_STINGER_RUST guarded on
  RUST && SERIO=y && INPUT=y while retaining the original C driver
  (stinger.c) to maintain hardware support on non-Rust configurations
  and architectures without HAVE_RUST.
- Gated module entry #[cfg(CONFIG_SERIO = "y")] and helper guards
  #if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_SERIO) to avoid undefined symbols when serio
  is disabled or modular.
