Hi everyone!
This short series is part of the set of dependencies for the drm/asahi
Apple M1/M2 GPU driver.
The first two patches make concat_idents!(bindings::foo, bar) work.
I use this later in the DRM abstractions to construct DRM IOCTL command
names [1], which avoids having to import all of bindings::*.
The third patch allows specifying multiple module aliases. Since modules
can have multiple aliases, the macro naturally needs to be able to take
an array instead of a single alias. I don't use this in the current
iteration of the driver, since I introduced proper support for automatic
modpost alias generation for Rust modules, but it can be useful both to
remove that support as a blocking factor (we can specify aliases manually
as a fallback), and for modules which need extra aliases not covered by
device ID tables.

Thank you,
~~ Lina
This makes it mirror the way expect_ident() works, and means we can more
easily push the result back into the token stream.

This makes things like concat_idents!(bindings::foo, bar) work.
Otherwise, there is no way to concatenate two idents and then use the
result as part of a type path.

2.35.1
Modules can (and usually do) have multiple alias tags, in order to
specify multiple possible device matches for autoloading. Allow this by
changing the alias ModuleInfo field to an Option<Vec<String>>.
Note: For normal device IDs this is autogenerated by modpost (which is
not properly integrated with Rust support yet), so it is useful to be
able to manually add device match aliases for now, and should still be
useful in the future for corner cases that modpost does not handle.
This pulls in the expect_group() helper from the rfl/rust branch
(with credit to authors).

Note, manually specifying the MODULE_ALIAS is only really ever done for
platform drivers today (and I would argue we need to fix that up),
otherwise the use of MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() should really really be used
instead of having to manually specify aliases.
And why would a module alias be needed for new (i.e. rust) code anyway?
You aren't trying to do any backwards-compatibility stuff yet :)
Or is this just for a platform driver? It's hard to review
infrastructure changes without seeing any real users :(
thanks,

That's the plan, I just added this before adding support for
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() when I first realized that it wasn't yet in there!
We were briefly hardcoding the bus aliases for downstream kernels
because the depmod stuff couldn't work with the way device ID tables
were done in Rust downstream at the time (and I only noticed the first
time I tried to build it as a module, since I always develop with
monolithic kernels). That's fixed now ^^
However, the issue is that right now the module macro already takes a
single optional alias, and that doesn't make sense as an API. We could
remove support for this entirely (if I get my Rust MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
implementation in, there will be zero users of the alias argument as far
as I know), or add support for multiple aliases. But I think just
leaving it as a single alias doesn't really make sense? It doesn't
represent the way module aliases work, which is 0..N.
I'm fine with removing it if people prefer that, I just thought that for
something as basic as module metadata we might as well do it properly
even if there are no users right now, since it's already half in there...

How about just removing it so that people don't think it is something
that they really should be doing and adding real MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE()
support instead?
Although the first filesystem that gets written will need the
MODULE_ALIAS() logic added back, oh well.
Anyway, no objection for me for this for now, just trying to point out
that drivers really should not be using MODULE_ALIAS() at all.

It seems weird to me that this is called `concat_idents` despite
working for more things than just idents.
How about just implement a simple version of the `paste` macro instead?

Opened https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux/issues/983 in case we
