Summary
Continue working towards Rust for Linux on stable, turning focus to compiler and tooling.
Why this goal?
This goal continues our work from 2024H2 in supporting the experimental support for Rust development in the Linux kernel. Whereas in 2024H2 we were focused on stabilizing required language features, our focus in 2025H1 is stabilizing compiler flags and tooling options. We will (1) implement RFC #3716 which lays out a design for ABI-modifying flags; (2) take the first step towards stabilizing build-std by creating a stable way to rebuild core with specific compiler options; (3) extending rustdoc, clippy, and the compiler with features that extract metadata for integration into other build systems (in this case, the kernel's build system).
