* rust: map `long` to `isize` and `char` to `u8`Gary Guo2024-12-161-1/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following FFI types are replaced compared to `core::ffi`: 1. `char` type is now always mapped to `u8`, since kernel uses `-funsigned-char` on the C code. `core::ffi` maps it to platform default ABI, which can be either signed or unsigned. 2. `long` is now always mapped to `isize`. It's very common in the kernel to use `long` to represent a pointer-sized integer, and in fact `intptr_t` is a typedef of `long` in the kernel. Enforce this mapping rather than mapping to `i32/i64` depending on platform can save us a lot of unnecessary casts.

Reworded slightly and reformatted a few documentation comments. Rebased on top of `rust-next`. Added the removal of two casts to avoid Clippy warnings. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
* rust: use custom FFI integer typesGary Guo2024-11-101-0/+13
Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types instead of `core::ffi`. This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit yet.

Rebased on top of `rust-next` (e.g. migrated more `core::ffi` cases). Reworded crate docs slightly and formatted. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
