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`
--> <crate attribute>: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`.

commit ded103c 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` --> <crate attribute>: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`.

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`.

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2070337 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` --> <crate attribute>: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 is a tracking issue for the MCP rust-lang/compiler-team#605:
forceoption for--externflag.About tracking issues
Tracking issues are used to record the overall progress of implementation.
They are also used as hubs connecting to other relevant issues, e.g., bugs or open design questions.
A tracking issue is however not meant for large scale discussion, questions, or bug reports about a feature.
Instead, open a dedicated issue for the specific matter and add the relevant feature gate label.
