Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/7] linux-yocto: enable Rust support in kernel configuration
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 04:25:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023112547.4044904-7-Harish.Sadineni@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251023112547.4044904-1-Harish.Sadineni@windriver.com>
From: Harish Sadineni <Harish.Sadineni@windriver.com>
Add initial support for building the Linux kernel with Rust enabled:
- Introduce `rust.cfg` to set Rust-related kernel config options, including:
- `CONFIG_RUST`, `CONFIG_HAVE_RUST`, and `CONFIG_RUST_IS_AVAILABLE`
- Rust sample modules and developer checks (overflow/debug assertions)
- Disable BTF and module versioning for compatibility
- Add `rust.scc` to include `rust.cfg` via `kconf` in the kernel feature stack
- Update `linux-yocto_${PV}.bb` to:
- Append `rust.scc` to `SRC_URI` and `KERNEL_FEATURES`
- Suppress `buildpaths` QA warning due to Rust path inclusion during builds
