Subject: [PATCH 1/2] rust: kbuild: treat `build_error` and `rustdoc` as kernel objects
Date: Sun, 2 Nov 2025 22:28:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251102212853.1505384-1-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
Even if normally `build_error` isn't a kernel object, it should still
be treated as such so that we pass the same flags. Similarly, `rustdoc`
targets are never kernel objects, but we need to treat them as such.
Otherwise, starting with Rust 1.91.0 (released 2025-10-30), `rustc`
will complain about missing sanitizer flags since `-Zsanitizer` is a
target modifier too [1]:
error: mixing `-Zsanitizer` will cause an ABI mismatch in crate `build_error`
--> rust/build_error.rs:3:1
|
3 | //! Build-time error.
| ^
|
= help: the `-Zsanitizer` flag modifies the ABI so Rust crates compiled with different values of this flag cannot be used together safely
= note: unset `-Zsanitizer` in this crate is incompatible with `-Zsanitizer=kernel-address` in dependency `core`
= help: set `-Zsanitizer=kernel-address` in this crate or unset `-Zsanitizer` in `core`
= help: if you are sure this will not cause problems, you may use `-Cunsafe-allow-abi-mismatch=sanitizer` to silence this error
Thus explicitly mark them as kernel objects.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # Needed in 6.12.y and later (Rust is pinned in older LTSs).
