[PATCH v2 1/2] rust: time: Implement Add<Delta>/Sub<Delta> for Instant

[Lyude Paul]

In order to maintain the invariants of Instant, we use saturating
addition/subtraction that is clamped to the valid value range for a
non-negative Ktime.

[PATCH v2 2/2] rust: time: Implement basic arithmetic operations for Delta

[Lyude Paul]

While rvkms is only going to be using a few of these, since Deltas are
basically the same as i64 it's easy enough to just implement all of the
basic arithmetic operations for Delta types.

Keep in mind there's one quirk here - the kernel has no support for
i64 % i64 on 32 bit platforms, the closest we have is i64 % i32 through
div_s64_rem(). So, instead of implementing ops::Rem or ops::RemAssign we
simply provide Delta::rem_nanos().

Signed-off-by: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>

---
V2:
* Don't forget to make sure that we inline all of these
* Drop ops::Rem and ops::RemAssign implementations for Delta, replace with
  Delta::rem_nanos() instead. It turns out that there's actually no way to
  perform i64 % i64 on 32 bit platforms in the kernel at the moment, the
  closest that we have is div_s64_rem() which only allows a 32 bit divisor.
* Actually use the kernel arithmetic helpers for division/remainders so

You're not using saturating operations in the patch?

We could still provide the trait implementations on CONFIG_64BIT? WDYT?

This pattern seems to be rather common in this patchset & in general I
think I've also seen it elsewhere. We should think about adding a
`if_cfg!` macro:

    Self {
        nanos: if_cfg! {
            if CONFIG_64BIT {
                self.nanos / rhs.nanos
            } else {
                unsafe { ... }
            }
        },
    }

But we can do that later. I'll file a good-first-issue.

I would say `i64` instead of `s64`.

I'd just say "`&mut rem` is a valid pointer.".

This kind of macro breaks rustfmt, so I wouldn't recommend it. I would
suggest just using the native Rust pattern rather than introduce even
more macros.

I think you missed Alice point regarding units [1]. delta x delta does
not return delta. Division does not make sense either.

Why the need for a macro. `cfg!` is built-in [1]:

  if cfg!(CONFIG_64BIT) {
     ...
  } else {
     ...
  }

The conditional expression should be optimized statically and the dead
part should be removed.

Ah then just use `if_cfg!(...)` that should work.

Trevor showed me https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/115585, so we
can use that in the future. I still think the macro is useful though.

AIUI the `self.nanos / rhs.nanos` won't compile on 32 bit platforms.
