If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Miguel Ojeda commit ded103c7eb23753f22597afa500a7c1ad34116ba upstream. If one attempts to build an essentially empty file somewhere in the kernel tree, it leads to a build error because the compiler does not recognize the `new_uninit` unstable feature: error[E0635]: unknown feature `new_uninit` --> :1:9 | 1 | feature(new_uninit) | ^^^^^^^^^^ The reason is that we pass `-Zcrate-attr='feature(new_uninit)'` (together with `-Zallow-features=new_uninit`) to let non-`rust/` code use that unstable feature. However, the compiler only recognizes the feature if the `alloc` crate is resolved (the feature is an `alloc` one). `--extern alloc`, which we pass, is not enough to resolve the crate. Introducing a reference like `use alloc;` or `extern crate alloc;` solves the issue, thus this is not seen in normal files. For instance, `use`ing the `kernel` prelude introduces such a reference, since `alloc` is used inside. While normal use of the build system is not impacted by this, it can still be fairly confusing for kernel developers [1], thus use the unstable `force` option of `--extern` [2] (added in Rust 1.71 [3]) to force the compiler to resolve `alloc`. This new unstable feature is only needed meanwhile we use the other unstable feature, since then we will not need `-Zcrate-attr`.
