This picks up from Michal Rostecki's work[0]. Per Michal's guidance I
have omitted Co-authored tags, as the end result is quite different.

Changes in v11:
- Use `quote_spanned!` to avoid `use<'a, T>` and generally reduce manual
token construction.
- Add a commit to simplify `quote_spanned!`.
- Drop first commit in favor of
https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240906164448.2268368-1-paddymills@….
(Miguel Ojeda)
- Correctly handle expressions such as `pr_info!("{a}", a = a = a)`.
(Benno Lossin)
- Avoid dealing with `}}` escapes, which is not needed. (Benno Lossin)
- Revert some unnecessary changes. (Benno Lossin)
- Rename `c_str_avoid_literals!` to `str_to_cstr!`. (Benno Lossin &
Alice Ryhl).
- Link to v10: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250524-cstr-core-v10-0-6412a94d9d75@gmail.com
Changes in v10:
- Rebase on cbeaa41dfe26b72639141e87183cb23e00d4b0dd.
- Implement Alice's suggestion to use a proc macro to work around orphan
rules otherwise preventing `core::ffi::CStr` to be directly printed
with `{}`.
- Link to v9: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250317-cstr-core-v9-0-51d6cc522f62@gmail.com
Changes in v9:
- Rebase on rust-next.
- Restore `impl Display for BStr` which exists upstream[1].
- Link: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/bstr/struct.ByteStr.html#impl-Display… [1]
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250203-cstr-core-v8-0-cb3f26e78686@gmail.com
Changes in v8:
- Move `{from,as}_char_ptr` back to `CStrExt`. This reduces the diff
some.
- Restore `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut`, `to_cstring`.
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v7-0-da1802520438@gmail.com
Changes in v7:
- Rebased on mainline.
- Restore functionality added in commit a321f3ad0a5d ("rust: str: add
{make,to}_{upper,lower}case() to CString").
- Used `diff.algorithm patience` to improve diff readability.
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250202-cstr-core-v6-0-8469cd6d29fd@gmail.com
Changes in v6:
- Split the work into several commits for ease of review.
- Restore `{from,as}_char_ptr` to allow building on ARM (see commit
message).
- Add `CStrExt` to `kernel::prelude`. (Alice Ryhl)
- Remove `CStrExt::from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut` and restore
`DerefMut for CString`. (Alice Ryhl)
- Rename and hide `kernel::c_str!` to encourage use of C-String
literals.
- Drop implementation and invocation changes in kunit.rs. (Trevor Gross)
- Drop docs on `Display` impl. (Trevor Gross)
- Rewrite docs in the style of the standard library.
- Restore the `test_cstr_debug` unit tests to demonstrate that the
implementation has changed.
Changes in v5:
- Keep the `test_cstr_display*` unit tests.
Changes in v4:
- Provide the `CStrExt` trait with `display()` method, which returns a
`CStrDisplay` wrapper with `Display` implementation. This addresses
the lack of `Display` implementation for `core::ffi::CStr`.
- Provide `from_bytes_with_nul_unchecked_mut()` method in `CStrExt`,
which might be useful and is going to prevent manual, unsafe casts.
- Fix a typo (s/preffered/prefered/).
Changes in v3:
- Fix the commit message.
- Remove redundant braces in `use`, when only one item is imported.
Changes in v2:
- Do not remove `c_str` macro. While it's preferred to use C-string
literals, there are two cases where `c_str` is helpful:
- When working with macros, which already return a Rust string literal
(e.g. `stringify!`).
- When building macros, where we want to take a Rust string literal as an
argument (for caller's convenience), but still use it as a C-string
internally.
- Use Rust literals as arguments in macros (`new_mutex`, `new_condvar`,
`new_mutex`). Use the `c_str` macro to convert these literals to C-string
literals.
- Use `c_str` in kunit.rs for converting the output of `stringify!` to a
`CStr`.
- Remove `DerefMut` implementation for `CString`.

Tamir Duberstein (5):
rust: macros: reduce collections in `quote!` macro
rust: support formatting of foreign types
rust: replace `CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr`
rust: replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings
rust: remove core::ffi::CStr reexport

[ Upstream commit c2bcc8e9577a35f9cf4707f8bb0b58bce30991aa ]
With -Wmissing-prototypes the compiler will warn about non-static
functions which don't have a prototype defined.
As they are not used from a different compilation unit they don't need to
be defined globally.
Avoid the issue by marking the functions static.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees.
**Rationale:** 1. **Legitimate Build Fix**: The commit addresses a real
compiler warning issue (`-Wmissing-prototypes`) that affects build
cleanliness and code quality. Modern build systems increasingly use
stricter warning flags, making this fix valuable for stable trees. 2.
**Zero Functional Risk**: The changes are purely cosmetic from a runtime
perspective. Adding `static` to functions that were already internal has
no impact on functionality, memory layout, or behavior - it only affects
compiler symbol visibility and warnings. 3. **Minimal and Contained**:
The diff is extremely small (4 function signatures with `static` added)
and isolated to the kselftest harness framework. There are no complex
logic changes or cross-subsystem impacts. 4. **Testing Infrastructure
Improvement**: While the kselftest framework isn't critical runtime
code, it's important for kernel testing and validation. Improving build
compliance in testing infrastructure benefits stable kernel maintenance.
5. **Standard Practice**: Compiler warning fixes of this nature (adding
missing `static` keywords) are routinely backported to stable trees as
they represent good coding practices without functional risk. 6.
**Different from Similar Commits**: Unlike the referenced similar
commits (all marked "NO") which involved feature additions, API changes,
or structural modifications, this commit is purely a build compliance
fix with no behavioral changes. The commit meets all stable tree
criteria: it fixes an issue (compiler warnings), has minimal risk (no
functional changes), and improves code quality without introducing new
features or architectural changes. Tools like `kselftest_harness.h:241`,
`kselftest_harness.h:290`, `kselftest_harness.h:970`, and
`kselftest_harness.h:1188` are the specific locations where these low-
risk improvements are made.
