Subject: [PATCH v1] rust: alloc: remove the `borrow` module (`ToOwned`, `Cow`)
Date:   Tue,  6 Dec 2022 02:05:19 +0100
Message-Id: <20221206010519.39075-1-ojeda@kernel.org>
MIME-Version: 1.0

From: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

The `Cow` type [1] requires that its generic parameter type implements
the `ToOwned` trait [2], which provides a method to create owned data
from borrowed data, usually by cloning.

However, it is infallible, and thus in most cases it is not useful for
the kernel. [3]

Therefore, introduce `cfg(no_borrow)` to remove the `borrow` module
(which contains `ToOwned` and `Cow`) from `alloc`.

-/// A clone-on-write smart pointer.
-///
-/// The type `Cow` is a smart pointer providing clone-on-write functionality: it
-/// can enclose and provide immutable access to borrowed data, and clone the
-/// data lazily when mutation or ownership is required. The type is designed to
-/// work with general borrowed data via the `Borrow` trait.
-///
-/// `Cow` implements `Deref`, which means that you can call
-/// non-mutating methods directly on the data it encloses. If mutation
-/// is desired, `to_mut` will obtain a mutable reference to an owned
-/// value, cloning if necessary.
-///
-/// If you need reference-counting pointers, note that
-/// [`Rc::make_mut`][crate::rc::Rc::make_mut] and
-/// [`Arc::make_mut`][crate::sync::Arc::make_mut] can provide clone-on-write
-/// functionality as well.
-///
-/// # Examples
-///
-/// ```
-/// use std::borrow::Cow;
-///
-/// fn abs_all(input: &mut Cow<[i32]>) {
-///     for i in 0..input.len() {
-///         let v = input[i];
-///         if v < 0 {
-///             // Clones into a vector if not already owned.
-///             input.to_mut()[i] = -v;
-///         }
-///     }
-/// }
-///
-/// // No clone occurs because `input` doesn't need to be mutated.
-/// let slice = [0, 1, 2];
-/// let mut input = Cow::from(&slice[..]);
-/// abs_all(&mut input);
-///
-/// // Clone occurs because `input` needs to be mutated.
-/// let slice = [-1, 0, 1];
-/// let mut input = Cow::from(&slice[..]);
-/// abs_all(&mut input);
-///
-/// // No clone occurs because `input` is already owned.
-/// let mut input = Cow::from(vec![-1, 0, 1]);
-/// abs_all(&mut input);
-/// ```
-///
-/// Another example showing how to keep `Cow` in a struct:
-///
-/// ```
-/// use std::borrow::Cow;
-///
-/// struct Items<'a, X: 'a> where [X]: ToOwned<Owned = Vec<X>> {
-///     values: Cow<'a, [X]>,
-/// }
-///
-/// impl<'a, X: Clone + 'a> Items<'a, X> where [X]: ToOwned<Owned = Vec<X>> {
-///     fn new(v: Cow<'a, [X]>) -> Self {
-///         Items { values: v }
-///     }
-/// }
-///
-/// // Creates a container from borrowed values of a slice
-/// let readonly = [1, 2];
-/// let borrowed = Items::new((&readonly[..]).into());
-/// match borrowed {
-///     Items { values: Cow::Borrowed(b) } => println!("borrowed {b:?}"),
-///     _ => panic!("expect borrowed value"),
-/// }
-///
-/// let mut clone_on_write = borrowed;
-/// // Mutates the data from slice into owned vec and pushes a new value on top
-/// clone_on_write.values.to_mut().push(3);
-/// println!("clone_on_write = {:?}", clone_on_write.values);
-///
-/// // The data was mutated. Let's check it out.
-/// match clone_on_write {
-///     Items { values: Cow::Owned(_) } => println!("clone_on_write contains owned data"),
