[PATCH v1] rust: time: Avoid 64-bit integer division

[PATCH v1] rust: time: Avoid 64-bit integer division

[FUJITA Tomonori]

Avoid 64-bit integer division that 32-bit architectures don't
implement generally. This uses ktime_to_ms() and ktime_to_us()
instead.

The timer abstraction needs i64 / u32 division so C's div_s64() can be
used but ktime_to_ms() and ktime_to_us() provide a simpler solution
for this timer abstraction problem. On some architectures, there is
room to optimize the implementation of them, but such optimization can
be done if and when it becomes necessary.

One downside of calling the C's functions is that the as_micros/millis
methods can no longer be const fn. We stick with the simpler approach
unless there's a compelling need for a const fn.

Oops, they should call ktime_to_us() and ktime_to_ms() respectively.

I'll send v2 later.

In general, we want to keep helpers mapping to the functions as close
as possible to the C side (e.g. same arguments), unless there is a
good reason not to -- but since you are changing it, let's review
v2...

What about adding a couple examples to their docs so that they are
also tested and this would be caught?

(In another patch, possibly in another series or not. We could also
open a good first issue)

Thanks!

I'll submit another patch to add some doctests once this is merged.

As I said a few times, we should rely on compiler's optimization when
available, i.e. it's a problem that ARM compiler doesn't have this
optimization, don't punish other architecture of no reason.

Did you mean that we should do something like the following?

pub fn as_millis(self) -> i64 {
    #[cfg(CONFIG_ARM)]
    {
        // SAFETY: It is always safe to call `ktime_to_ms()` with any value.
        unsafe { bindings::ktime_to_ms(self.nanos) }
    }
    #[cfg(not(CONFIG_ARM))]
    {
        self.as_nanos() / NSEC_PER_MSEC
    }
}

I think `cfg`s may be better inside, i.e. as local as reasonably
possible, so that we share e.g. signature as well as any attributes
and docs.

I'll go with the following.

#[inline]
pub fn as_millis(self) -> i64 {
    #[cfg(CONFIG_ARM)]
    // SAFETY: It is always safe to call `ktime_to_ms()` with any value.
    unsafe {
        bindings::ktime_to_ms(self.as_nanos())
    }

    #[cfg(not(CONFIG_ARM))]
    {
        self.as_nanos() / NSEC_PER_MSEC
    }
}

What is Arm specific here? I'm not aware of the compiler doing anything
different from the other 32-bit architectures, though most are missing
an optimized __arch_xprod_64() and fall back to slightly worse code
from the asm-generic version.

I'm sure this is still broken on all 32-bit targets.

Because Arm is the only 32bit architecture that selects CONFIG_HAVE_RUST
for non-UML cases, i.e. this is the only 32bit architecture that has
this problem. If your point is we should do this for all 32bit
architectures, then I won't disagree. Just s/CONFIG_ARM/CONFIG_32BIT
then.

I would be for using `CONFIG_32BIT` since from what I understand this
applies to all 32bit architectures. It feels a bit weird to single out
arm just because it is the only one that currently has rust support.

CONFIG_32BIT doesn't work because 32-bit ARM doesn't set it. I use
CONFIG_64BIT, enabled on all 64-bit architectures supported by Rust.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250502004524.230553-1-fujita.tomonori@gmail.com/

Unlike CONFIG_ARM, the intention behind CONFIG_64BIT is clear, so I
also think it's the better choice.

Thanks!

Sorry, I did follow that for the last two patchsets (generalizing
Instant and hrtimer), but somehow I messed up with this one.

Should I resend v2 of this fix to the correct email address?
