Subject: [PATCH 2/2] rust: kbuild: workaround `rustdoc` doctests modifier bug
Date: Sun,  2 Nov 2025 22:28:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251102212853.1505384-2-ojeda@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251102212853.1505384-1-ojeda@kernel.org>

The `rustdoc` modifiers bug [1] was fixed in Rust 1.90.0 [2], for which
we added a workaround in commit abbf9a449441 ("rust: workaround `rustdoc`
target modifiers bug").

However, `rustdoc`'s doctest generation still has a similar issue [3],
being fixed at [4], which does not affect us because we apply the
workaround to both, and now, starting with Rust 1.91.0 (released
2025-10-30), `-Zsanitizer` is a target modifier too [5], which means we
fail with:

      RUSTDOC TK rust/kernel/lib.rs
    error: mixing `-Zsanitizer` will cause an ABI mismatch in crate `kernel`
     --> rust/kernel/lib.rs:3:1
      |
    3 | //! The `kernel` crate.
      | ^
      |
      = 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

A simple way around is to add the sanitizer to the list in the existing
workaround (especially if we had not started to pass the sanitizer
flags in the previous commit, since in that case that would not be
necessary). However, that still applies the workaround in more cases
than necessary.

Instead, only modify the doctests flags to ignore the check for
sanitizers, so that it is more local (and thus the compiler keeps checking
it for us in the normal `rustdoc` calls). Since the previous commit
already treated the `rustdoc` calls as kernel objects, this should allow
us in the future to easily remove this workaround when the time comes.

By the way, the `-Cunsafe-allow-abi-mismatch` flag overwrites previous
ones rather than appending, so it needs to be all done in the same flag.
Moreover, unknown modifiers are rejected, and thus we have to gate based
on the version too.

Finally, `-Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers` is not affected, so it is
not needed in the workaround.
