[PATCH v8 0/7] rust: extend `module!` macro with integer parameter support

[Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@kernel.org>]

Extend the `module!` macro with support module parameters. Also add some string
to integer parsing functions and updates `BStr` with a method to strip a string
prefix.

Based on code by Adam Bratschi-Kaye lifted from the original `rust` branch [1].

Changes in v8:
- Change print statement in sample to better communicate parameter name.
- Use imperative mode in commit messages.
- Remove prefix path from `EINVAL`.
- Change `try_from_param_arg` to accept `&BStr` rather than `&[u8]`.
- Parse integers without 128 bit integer types.
- Seal trait `FromStrRadix`.
- Strengthen safety requirement of `set_param`.
- Remove comment about Display and `PAGE_SIZE`.
- Add note describing why `ModuleParamAccess` is pub.
- Typo and grammar fixes for documentation.
- Update MAINTAINERS with rust module files.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250218-module-params-v3-v7-0-5e1afabcac1b@kernel.org

Changes in v7:
- Remove dependency on `pr_warn_once` patches, replace with TODO.
- Rework `ParseInt::from_str` to avoid allocating.
- Add a comment explaining how we parse "0".
- Change trait bound on `Index` impl for `BStr` to match std library approach.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250211-module-params-v3-v6-0-24b297ddc43d@kernel.org

Changes in v6:
- Fix a bug that prevented parsing of negative default values for
  parameters in the `module!` macro.
- Fix a bug that prevented parsing zero in `strip_radix`. Also add a
  test case for this.
- Add `AsRef<BStr>` for `[u8]` and `BStr`.
- Use `impl AsRef<BStr>` as type of prefix in `BStr::strip_prefix`.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250204-module-params-v3-v5-0-bf5ec2041625@kernel.org

Changes in v5:
- Fix a typo in a safety comment in `set_param`.
- Use a match statement in `parse_int::strip_radix`.
- Add an implementation of `Index` for `BStr`.
- Fix a logic inversion bug where parameters would not be parsed.
- Use `kernel::ffi::c_char` in `set_param` rather than the one in `core`.
- Use `kernel::c_str!` rather than `c"..."` literal in module macro.
- Rebase on v6.14-rc1.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250109-module-params-v3-v4-0-c208bcfbe11f@kernel.org

Changes in v4:
- Add module maintainers to Cc list (sorry)
- Add a few missing [`doc_links`]
- Add panic section to `expect_string_field`
- Fix a typo in safety requirement of `module_params::free`
- Change `assert!` to `pr_warn_once!` in `module_params::set_param`
- Remove `module_params::get_param` and install null pointer instead
- Remove use of the unstable feature `sync_unsafe_cell`
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241213-module-params-v3-v3-0-485a015ac2cf@kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- use `SyncUnsafeCell` rather than `static mut` and simplify parameter access
- remove `Display` bound from `ModuleParam`
- automatically generate documentation for `PARAM_OPS_.*`
- remove `as *const _ as *mut_` phrasing
- inline parameter name in struct instantiation in  `emit_params`
- move `RacyKernelParam` out of macro template
- use C string literals rather than byte string literals with explicit null
- template out `__{name}_{param_name}` in `emit_param`
- indent template in `emit_params`
- use let-else expression in `emit_params` to get rid of an indentation level
- document `expect_string_field`
- move invication of `impl_int_module_param` to be closer to macro def
- move attributes after docs in `make_param_ops`
- rename `impl_module_param` to impl_int_module_param`
- use `ty` instead of `ident` in `impl_parse_int`
- use `BStr` instead of `&str` for string manipulation
- move string parsing functions to seperate patch and add examples, fix bugs
- degrade comment about future support from doc comment to regular comment
- remove std lib path from `Sized` marker
- update documentation for `trait ModuleParam`
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240819133345.3438739-1-nmi@metaspace.dk/

Changes in v2:

- Improve documentation for `try_from_param_arg`.
- Use prelude import.
- Refactor `try_from_param_arg` to return `Result`.
- Refactor `ParseInt::from_str` to return `Result`.
- Move C callable functions out of `ModuleParam` trait.
- Rename literal string field parser to `expect_string_field`.
- Move parameter parsing from generation to parsing stage.
- Use absolute type paths in macro code.
- Inline `kparam`and `read_func` values.
- Resolve TODO regarding alignment attributes.
- Remove unnecessary unsafe blocks in macro code.
- Improve error message for unrecognized parameter types.
- Do not use `self` receiver when reading parameter value.
