This includes no use-after-free mistakes, no double frees, no data races, etc. It also provides other important benefits, such as improved error handling, stricter typing, sum types, pattern matching, privacy, closures, generics, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Possible Rust for Linux topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rust in the kernel (e.g. status update, next steps&#8230;).<\/li>\n<li>Use cases for Rust around the kernel (e.g. subsystems, drivers,<br \/>\nother modules&#8230;).<\/li>\n<li>Discussions on how to abstract existing subsystems safely, on API design, on coding guidelines&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Integration with kernel systems and other infrastructure (e.g. build system, documentation, testing and CIs, maintenance, unstable features, architecture support, stable\/LTS releases, Rust versioning, third-party crates&#8230;).Updates on its subprojects (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/rust-for-linux.com\/klint\">klint<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rust-for-linux.com\/pinned-init\">pinned-init<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Possible Rust topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Language and standard library (e.g. upcoming features, stabilization of the remaining features the kernel needs, memory model&#8230;).<\/li>\n<li>Compilers and codegen (e.g. rustc improvements, LLVM and Rust, rustc_codegen_gcc, Rust GCC&#8230;).<\/li>\n<li>Other tooling and new ideas (bindgen, Cargo, Miri, Clippy, Compiler Explorer, Coccinelle for Rust&#8230;).<\/li>\n<li>Educational material.<\/li>\n<li>Any other Rust topic within the Linux ecosystem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Last year was the first edition of the Rust MC and the focus was on showing the ongoing efforts by different parties (compilers, Rust for Linux, CI, eBPF&#8230;). Shortly after the Rust MC, Rust got merged into the Linux kernel. Abstractions are getting upstreamed, with the first major drivers looking to be merged soon: <a href=\"https:\/\/rust-for-linux.com\/android-binder-driver\">Android Binder<\/a>, the Asahi GPU driver and the <a href=\"https:\/\/rust-for-linux.com\/nvme-driver\">NVMe driver<\/a> (presented in that MC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LPC 2023 will host the second edition of the Rust MC.
