This is the sixth version of the pin-init API. See [1] for v5.

The tree at [2] contains these patches applied on top of 6.3-rc1.
The Rust-doc documentation of the pin-init API can be found at [3].

These patches are a long way coming, since I held a presentation on
safe pinned initialization at Kangrejos [4]. And my discovery of this
problem was almost a year ago [5].

- #1 enables the `pin_macro` feature which is already stable in Rust
  version 1.68.
- #2 adds a utility macro `quote!` for proc-macros. This macro converts
  the typed characters directly into Rust tokens that are the output of
  proc-macros. It is used by the pin-init API proc-macros.
- #3 changes the `Err` types of the constructor functions of `Arc` and
  `UniqueArc` to `AllocError`.
- #4 adds the `assume_init` function to `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` that
  unsafely assumes the pointee to be initialized and returns a
  `UniqueArc<T>`. `UniqueArc::write` is modified to use this new function.
  Later patches use it as well.
- #5 adds `Opaque::raw_get` to access the value inside of an `Opaque` from
  a raw pointer only.
- #6-11 introduce the pin-init API. The commit message of #4 details the
  problem it solves and lays out the overall architecture. The
  implementation details are fairly complex; however, this is required to
  provide a safe API for users -- reducing the amount of `unsafe` code is a
  key goal of the Rust support in the kernel. An example of the
  before/after difference from the point of view of users is provided in
  the commit message. It is a goal to at some point have pin-init as a
  language feature of Rust. A first step in this direction is the Field
  Projection RFC [6].
- #12 adds important traits and macros from pin-init to the prelude.
- #13 adds functions for easier initialization of `Opaque<T>` via
  FFI and raw pointer initializer functions. This is necessary when writing
  Rust wrappers and will be used by Wedson's `sync` module patches.
- #14 improves the `UniqueArc::try_new_uninit` function by using the
  pin-init API. The old version first allocated uninitialized memory on the
  stack and then moved it into the location in the heap. The new version
  directly allocates this on the heap.
- #15 adds functions for initializing already allocated `UniqueArc`s, this
  will be used by the Android Binder driver.

Changelog:
v5 -> v6:
- Change `pinned_drop` macro to allow `mut self` in the signature.
- Change statement fragment to tt fragemnt in `pinned_drop` to prevent
  parsing errors.
- Move evaluation of the value in `stack_pin_init!`/`stack_try_pin_init!`
  to the beginning.
- Move setting uninitialized flag in front of dropping the value in
  `StackInit::init`.
- Remove `Unpin` requirement on `zeroed()`.
- Add note about `Pointee` to the `Zeroable` impl on raw pointers.

v4 -> v5:
- Add `pin_macro` to `rust_allowed_features`.
- Improve wording of commit message #6.
- Remove `PinInit` as a supertrait from `Init`, instead add a blanket impl:
  `impl PinInit<T, E> for Init<T, E>`.
- Fix `BigBuf` example on `try_init!`.
- Fix imports in `arc.rs`.

v3 -> v4:
- Improve documentation.
- Fixing doc-tests imports, comments and full paths in macro examples.
- Implement `Zeroable` for many more types.
- Fix unsoundness: `Zeroable` allowed to create fat pointers with a null
  VTABLE pointer.
- Split fallible components from `stack_pin_init!` into
  `stack_try_pin_init!`.
- Move `Invariant` type alias and `InitClosure` into `__internal`.
- Change the error type of the constructor functions of `Arc` and
  `UniqueArc` to `AllocError`.
- Add `try` variants to `InPlaceInit` to allow custom error types.
- Make `StackInit::init` a safe function.
- Rename `OnlyCallFromDrop::create` to `OnlyCallFromDrop::new`.
- Enable the `pin_macro` feature for use inside of `stack_pin_init!`.
- Make `quote!` and `quote_spanned!` use absolute paths.

v2 -> v3:
- Split the big original commit into six smaller commits.
- Use `PinnedDrop` in the `RawFoo` code example.
- Move the `init::common::ffi_init` functions to `Opaque::ffi_init`.
- Move all `#[doc(hidden)]`, internal types into the new `__internal`
  module.
- Specify safety guarantees and requirements of the initializer macros.
- Add a detailed example of what the expanded code of the various macros
  looks like.
- Require generics in the initializer macros to use turbofish syntax
  (`::<>`).
- Refactor the internals of the initializer macros, this way they have
  better type inference and generic arguments can be omitted more often.
- Replace `init::from_value` with a blanket impl of the initializer traits
  for ordinary objects.
- Add initializing functions for already allocated `UniqueArc`s.
- Add `Opaque::manual_init` functions akin to `ffi_init`, but they take an
  `extern "Rust" fn` instead.
- Documentation and inline comment improvements.

v1 -> v2:
- Split the common module and `UniqueArc::assume_init` into their own
  commits.
- Change the generics syntax of `pin_init!` to reflect normal struct
  generic syntax.
- Replace `PinnedDrop::__ensure_no_unsafe_op_in_drop` with an only unsafely
  creatable token.
- Hide `StackInit<T>` in the docs, because it is internal API.
- Improve macro internals of `pin_init!` according to Gary's review.
- Add check for `PhantomPinned` fields without a `#[pin]` attribute in
  `#[pin_data]`, as those fields will not have the intended effect.
- Add docs to `quote.rs`.

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

Add the `quote!` macro for creating `TokenStream`s directly via the
given Rust tokens. It also supports repetitions using iterators.

It will be used by the pin-init API proc-macros to generate code.

Change the error type of the constructors of `Arc` and `UniqueArc` to be
`AllocError` instead of `Error`. This makes the API more clear as to
what can go wrong when calling `try_new` or its variants.

Adds the `assume_init` function to `UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` that
unsafely assumes the value to be initialized and yields a value of type
`UniqueArc<T>`. This function is used when manually initializing the
pointee of an `UniqueArc`.

This function mirrors `UnsafeCell::raw_get`. It avoids creating a
reference and allows solely using raw pointers.
The `pin-init` API will be using this, since uninitialized memory
requires raw pointers.

This API is used to facilitate safe pinned initialization of structs. It
replaces cumbersome `unsafe` manual initialization with elegant safe macro
invocations.

Due to the size of this change it has been split into six commits:
1. This commit introducing the basic public interface: traits and
   functions to represent and create initializers.
2. Adds the `#[pin_data]`, `pin_init!`, `try_pin_init!`, `init!` and
   `try_init!` macros along with their internal types.
3. Adds the `InPlaceInit` trait that allows using an initializer to create
   an object inside of a `Box<T>` and other smart pointers.
4. Adds the `PinnedDrop` trait and adds macro support for it in
   the `#[pin_data]` macro.
5. Adds the `stack_pin_init!` macro allowing to pin-initialize a struct on
   the stack.
6. Adds the `Zeroable` trait and `init::zeroed` function to initialize
   types that have `0x00` in all bytes as a valid bit pattern.

--

In this section the problem that the new pin-init API solves is outlined.
This message describes the entirety of the API, not just the parts
introduced in this commit. For a more granular explanation and additional
information on pinning and this issue, view [1].

Pinning is Rust's way of enforcing the address stability of a value. When a
value gets pinned it will be impossible for safe code to move it to another
location. This is done by wrapping pointers to said object with `Pin<P>`.
This wrapper prevents safe code from creating mutable references to the
object, preventing mutable access, which is needed to move the value.
`Pin<P>` provides `unsafe` functions to circumvent this and allow
modifications regardless. It is then the programmer's responsibility to
uphold the pinning guarantee.

Many kernel data structures require a stable address, because there are
foreign pointers to them which would get invalidated by moving the
structure. Since these data structures are usually embedded in structs to
use them, this pinning property propagates to the container struct.
Resulting in most structs in both Rust and C code needing to be pinned.

So if we want to have a `mutex` field in a Rust struct, this struct also
needs to be pinned, because a `mutex` contains a `list_head`. Additionally
initializing a `list_head` requires already having the final memory
location available, because it is initialized by pointing it to itself. But
this presents another challenge in Rust: values have to be initialized at
all times. There is the `MaybeUninit<T>` wrapper type, which allows
handling uninitialized memory, but this requires using the `unsafe` raw
pointers and a casting the type to the initialized variant.

This problem gets exacerbated when considering encapsulation and the normal
safety requirements of Rust code. The fields of the Rust `Mutex<T>` should
not be accessible to normal driver code. After all if anyone can modify
the fields, there is no way to ensure the invariants of the `Mutex<T>` are
upheld. But if the fields are inaccessible, then initialization of a
`Mutex<T>` needs to be somehow achieved via a function or a macro. Because
the `Mutex<T>` must be pinned in memory, the function cannot return it by
value. It also cannot allocate a `Box` to put the `Mutex<T>` into, because
that is an unnecessary allocation and indirection which would hurt
performance.

The solution in the rust tree (e.g. this commit: [2]) that is replaced by
this API is to split this function into two parts:

1. A `new` function that returns a partially initialized `Mutex<T>`,
2. An `init` function that requires the `Mutex<T>` to be pinned and that
   fully initializes the `Mutex<T>`.

Both of these functions have to be marked `unsafe`, since a call to `new`
needs to be accompanied with a call to `init`, otherwise using the
`Mutex<T>` could result in UB. And because calling `init` twice also is not
safe. While `Mutex<T>` initialization cannot fail, other structs might
also have to allocate memory, which would result in conditional successful
initialization requiring even more manual accommodation work.

Combine this with the problem of pin-projections -- the way of accessing
fields of a pinned struct -- which also have an `unsafe` API, pinned
initialization is riddled with `unsafe` resulting in very poor ergonomics.
Not only that, but also having to call two functions possibly multiple
lines apart makes it very easy to forget it outright or during refactoring.

Here is an example of the current way of initializing a struct with two
synchronization primitives (see [3] for the full example):

    struct SharedState {
        state_changed: CondVar,
        inner: Mutex<SharedStateInner>,
    }

    impl SharedState {
        fn try_new() -> Result<Arc<Self>> {
            let mut state = Pin::from(UniqueArc::try_new(Self {
                // SAFETY: `condvar_init!` is called below.
                state_changed: unsafe { CondVar::new() },
                // SAFETY: `mutex_init!` is called below.
                inner: unsafe {
                    Mutex::new(SharedStateInner { token_count: 0 })
                },
            })?);

            // SAFETY: `state_changed` is pinned when `state` is.
            let pinned = unsafe {
                state.as_mut().map_unchecked_mut(|s| &mut s.state_changed)
            };
            kernel::condvar_init!(pinned, "SharedState::state_changed");

            // SAFETY: `inner` is pinned when `state` is.
            let pinned = unsafe {
                state.as_mut().map_unchecked_mut(|s| &mut s.inner)
            };
            kernel::mutex_init!(pinned, "SharedState::inner");

            Ok(state.into())
        }
    }

The pin-init API of this patch solves this issue by providing a
comprehensive solution comprised of macros and traits. Here is the example
from above using the pin-init API:

    #[pin_data]
    struct SharedState {
        #[pin]
        state_changed: CondVar,
        #[pin]
        inner: Mutex<SharedStateInner>,
    }

    impl SharedState {
        fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
            pin_init!(Self {
                state_changed <- new_condvar!("SharedState::state_changed"),
                inner <- new_mutex!(
                    SharedStateInner { token_count: 0 },
                    "SharedState::inner",
                ),
            })
        }
    }

Notably the way the macro is used here requires no `unsafe` and thus comes
with the usual Rust promise of safe code not introducing any memory
violations. Additionally it is now up to the caller of `new()` to decide
the memory location of the `SharedState`. They can choose at the moment
`Arc<T>`, `Box<T>` or the stack.

--

The API has the following architecture:
1. Initializer traits `PinInit<T, E>` and `Init<T, E>` that act like
   closures.
2. Macros to create these initializer traits safely.
3. Functions to allow manually writing initializers.

The initializers (an `impl PinInit<T, E>`) receive a raw pointer pointing
to uninitialized memory and their job is to fully initialize a `T` at that
location. If initialization fails, they return an error (`E`) by value.

This way of initializing cannot be safely exposed to the user, since it
relies upon these properties outside of the control of the trait:
- the memory location (slot) needs to be valid memory,
- if initialization fails, the slot should not be read from,
- the value in the slot should be pinned, so it cannot move and the memory
  cannot be deallocated until the value is dropped.

This is why using an initializer is facilitated by another trait that
ensures these requirements.

These initializers can be created manually by just supplying a closure that
fulfills the same safety requirements as `PinInit<T, E>`. But this is an
`unsafe` operation. To allow safe initializer creation, the `pin_init!` is
provided along with three other variants: `try_pin_init!`, `try_init!` and
`init!`. These take a modified struct initializer as a parameter and
generate a closure that initializes the fields in sequence.
The macros take great care in upholding the safety requirements:
- A shadowed struct type is used as the return type of the closure instead
  of `()`. This is to prevent early returns, as these would prevent full
  initialization.
- To ensure every field is only initialized once, a normal struct
  initializer is placed in unreachable code. The type checker will emit
  errors if a field is missing or specified multiple times.
- When initializing a field fails, the whole initializer will fail and
  automatically drop fields that have been initialized earlier.
- Only the correct initializer type is allowed for unpinned fields. You
  cannot use a `impl PinInit<T, E>` to initialize a structurally not pinned
  field.

To ensure the last point, an additional macro `#[pin_data]` is needed. This
macro annotates the struct itself and the user specifies structurally
pinned and not pinned fields.

Because dropping a pinned struct is also not allowed to break the pinning
invariants, another macro attribute `#[pinned_drop]` is needed. This
macro is introduced in a following commit.

These two macros also have mechanisms to ensure the overall safety of the
API. Additionally, they utilize a combined proc-macro, declarative macro
design: first a proc-macro enables the outer attribute syntax `#[...]` and
does some important pre-parsing. Notably this prepares the generics such
that the declarative macro can handle them using token trees. Then the
actual parsing of the structure and the emission of code is handled by a
declarative macro.

For pin-projections the crates `pin-project` [4] and `pin-project-lite` [5]
had been considered, but were ultimately rejected:
- `pin-project` depends on `syn` [6] which is a very big dependency, around
  50k lines of code.
- `pin-project-lite` is a more reasonable 5k lines of code, but contains a
  very complex declarative macro to parse generics. On top of that it
  would require modification that would need to be maintained
  independently.

+//! To initialize a `struct` with an in-place constructor you will need two things:
+//! - an in-place constructor,
+//! - a memory location that can hold your `struct`.
+//!
+//! To get an in-place constructor there are generally two options:
+//! - a custom function/macro returning an in-place constructor provided by someone else,
+//! - using the unsafe function [`pin_init_from_closure()`] to manually create an initializer.
+//!
+//! Aside from pinned initialization, this API also supports in-place construction without pinning,

Add the following initializer macros:
- `#[pin_data]` to annotate structurally pinned fields of structs,
  needed for `pin_init!` and `try_pin_init!` to select the correct
  initializer of fields.
- `pin_init!` create a pin-initializer for a struct with the
  `Infallible` error type.
- `try_pin_init!` create a pin-initializer for a struct with a custom
  error type (`kernel::error::Error` is the default).
- `init!` create an in-place-initializer for a struct with the
  `Infallible` error type.
- `try_init!` create an in-place-initializer for a struct with a custom
  error type (`kernel::error::Error` is the default).

Also add their needed internal helper traits and structs.

+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! ## Using the [`pin_init!`] macro
+//!
+//! If you want to use [`PinInit`], then you will have to annotate your `struct` with
+//! `#[`[`pin_data`]`]`. It is a macro that uses `#[pin]` as a marker for
+//! [structurally pinned fields]. After doing this, you can then create an in-place constructor via
+//! [`pin_init!`]. The syntax is almost the same as normal `struct` initializers. The difference is
+//! that you need to write `<-` instead of `:` for fields that you want to initialize in-place.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+//! use kernel::{prelude::*, sync::Mutex, new_mutex};
+//! # use core::pin::Pin;
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! struct Foo {
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     a: Mutex<usize>,
+//!     b: u32,
+//! }
+//!
+//! let foo = pin_init!(Foo {
+//!     a <- new_mutex!(42, "Foo::a"),
+//!     b: 24,
+//! });
+//! ```
+//!
+//! `foo` now is of the type [`impl PinInit<Foo>`]. We can now use any smart pointer that we like
+//! (or just the stack) to actually initialize a `Foo`:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+//! # use kernel::{prelude::*, sync::Mutex, new_mutex};
+//! # use core::pin::Pin;
+//! # #[pin_data]

+//! # let foo = pin_init!(Foo {
+//! #     a <- new_mutex!(42, "Foo::a"),
+//! #     b: 24,
+//! # });
+//! let foo: Result<Pin<Box<Foo>>> = Box::pin_init(foo);
+//! ```
+//!
+//! For more information see the [`pin_init!`] macro.
+//!
+//! ## Using a custom function/macro that returns an initializer
+//!
+//! Many types from the kernel supply a function/macro that returns an initializer, because the
+//! above method only works for types where you can access the fields.
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use kernel::{new_mutex, sync::{Arc, Mutex}};
+//! let mtx: Result<Arc<Mutex<usize>>> = Arc::pin_init(new_mutex!(42, "example::mtx"));

+//!
+//! To declare an init macro/function you just return an [`impl PinInit<T, E>`]:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+//! # use kernel::{sync::Mutex, prelude::*, new_mutex, init::PinInit, try_pin_init};

+///
+/// Arbitrary Rust expressions can be used to set the value of a variable.
+///
+/// The fields are initialized in the order that they appear in the initializer. So it is possible

+///
+/// # Init-functions
+///
+/// When working with this API it is often desired to let others construct your types without
+/// giving access to all fields. This is where you would normally write a plain function `new`
+/// that would return a new instance of your type. With this API that is also possible.
+/// However, there are a few extra things to keep in mind.
+///
+/// To create an initializer function, simply declare it like this:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+/// # use kernel::{init, pin_init, prelude::*, init::*};
+/// # use core::pin::Pin;

+/// impl Foo {

+///             b: Bar {
+///                 x: 64,
+///             },
+///         })
+///     }
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// Users of `Foo` can now create it like this:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #![allow(clippy::disallowed_names, clippy::new_ret_no_self)]
+/// # use kernel::{init, pin_init, macros::pin_data, init::*};
+/// # use core::pin::Pin;
+/// # #[pin_data]
+/// # struct Foo {
+/// #     a: usize,
+/// #     b: Bar,
+/// # }
+/// # #[pin_data]
+/// # struct Bar {
+/// #     x: u32,
+/// # }
+/// # impl Foo {
+/// #     fn new() -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+/// #         pin_init!(Self {
+/// #             a: 42,
+/// #             b: Bar {
+/// #                 x: 64,

+/// #         })
+/// #     }
+/// # }
+/// let foo = Box::pin_init(Foo::new());
+/// ```
+///
+/// They can also easily embed it into their own `struct`s:

+///             other,
+///         })
+///     }
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// Here we see that when using `pin_init!` with `PinInit`, one needs to write `<-` instead of `:`.
+/// This signifies that the given field is initialized in-place. As with `struct` initializers, just
+/// writing the field (in this case `other`) without `:` or `<-` means `other: other,`.
+///
+/// # Syntax
+///
+/// As already mentioned in the examples above, inside of `pin_init!` a `struct` initializer with
+/// the following modifications is expected:
+/// - Fields that you want to initialize in-place have to use `<-` instead of `:`.
+/// - In front of the initializer you can write `&this in` to have access to a [`NonNull<Self>`]
+///   pointer named `this` inside of the initializer.
+///
+/// For instance:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # use kernel::pin_init;
+/// # use macros::pin_data;
+/// # use core::{ptr::addr_of_mut, marker::PhantomPinned};
+/// #[pin_data]

+
+//! This module provides the macros that actually implement the proc-macros `pin_data` and
+//! `pinned_drop`.
+//!
+//! These macros should never be called directly, since they expect their input to be
+//! in a certain format which is internal. Use the proc-macros instead.
+//!
+//! This architecture has been chosen because the kernel does not yet have access to `syn` which
+//! would make matters a lot easier for implementing these as proc-macros.
+//!
+//! # Macro expansion example
+//!
+//! This section is intended for readers trying to understand the macros in this module and the
+//! `pin_init!` macros from `init.rs`.
+//!
+//! We will look at the following example:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use kernel::init::*;
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! #[repr(C)]
+//! struct Bar<T> {
+//!     #[pin]
+//!     t: T,
+//!     pub x: usize,
+//! }
+//!
+//! impl<T> Bar<T> {
+//!     fn new(t: T) -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+//!         pin_init!(Self { t, x: 0 })
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This example includes the most common and important features of the pin-init API.
+//!
+//! Below you can find individual section about the different macro invocations. Here are some
+//! general things we need to take into account when designing macros:
+//! - use global paths, similarly to file paths, these start with the separator: `::core::panic!()`
+//!   this ensures that the correct item is used, since users could define their own `mod core {}`
+//!   and then their own `panic!` inside to execute arbitrary code inside of our macro.
+//! - macro `unsafe` hygene: we need to ensure that we do not expand arbitrary, user-supplied
+//!   expressions inside of an `unsafe` block in the macro, because this would allow users to do
+//!   `unsafe` operations without an associated `unsafe` block.
+//!
+//! ## `#[pin_data]` on `Bar`
+//!
+//! This macro is used to specify which fields are structurally pinned and which fields are not. It
+//! is placed on the struct definition and allows `#[pin]` to be placed on the fields.
+//!
+//! Here is the definition of `Bar` from our example:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! # use kernel::init::*;
+//! #[pin_data]
+//! #[repr(C)]
+//! struct Bar<T> {
+//!     t: T,
+//!     pub x: usize,
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This expands to the following code:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! // Firstly the normal definition of the struct, attributes are preserved:
+//! #[repr(C)]
+//! struct Bar<T> {
+//!     t: T,
+//!     pub x: usize,
+//! }
+//! // Then an anonymous constant is defined, this is because we do not want any code to access the
+//! // types that we define inside:
+//! const _: () = {
+//!     // We define the pin-data carrying struct, it is a ZST and needs to have the same generics,
+//!     // since we need to implement access functions for each field and thus need to know its
+//!     // type.
+//!     struct __ThePinData<T> {
+//!         __phantom: ::core::marker::PhantomData<fn(Bar<T>) -> Bar<T>>,
+//!     }
+//!     // We implement `Copy` for the pin-data struct, since all functions it defines will take
+//!     // `self` by value.
+//!     impl<T> ::core::clone::Clone for __ThePinData<T> {
+//!         fn clone(&self) -> Self {
+//!             *self
+//!         }
+//!     }
+//!     impl<T> ::core::marker::Copy for __ThePinData<T> {}
+//!     // For every field of `Bar`, the pin-data struct will define a function with the same name
+//!     // and accessor (`pub` or `pub(crate)` etc.). This function will take a pointer to the
+//!     // field (`slot`) and a `PinInit` or `Init` depending on the projection kind of the field
+//!     // (if pinning is structural for the field, then `PinInit` otherwise `Init`).
+//!     #[allow(dead_code)]
+//!     impl<T> __ThePinData<T> {
+//!         unsafe fn t<E>(
+//!             self,

+//!         }

+//!     // that we constructed beforehand.

+//!     //   not be trivial, e.g. the user has a `#[pin] PhantomPinned` field -- this is

+//! ## `pin_init!` in `impl Bar`
+//!
+//! This macro creates an pin-initializer for the given struct. It requires that the struct is
+//! annotated by `#[pin_data]`.
+//!
+//! Here is the impl on `Bar` defining the new function:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! impl<T> Bar<T> {
+//!     fn new(t: T) -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+//!         pin_init!(Self { t, x: 0 })
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This expands to the following code:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! impl<T> Bar<T> {
+//!     fn new(t: T) -> impl PinInit<Self> {
+//!         {
+//!             // We do not want to allow arbitrary returns, so we declare this type as the `Ok`
+//!             // return type and shadow it later when we insert the arbitrary user code. That way
+//!             // there will be no possibility of returning without `unsafe`.
+//!             struct __InitOk;
+//!             // Get the pin-data type from the initialized type.
+//!             // - the function is unsafe, hence the unsafe block
+//!             // - we `use` the `HasPinData` trait in the block, it is only available in that
+//!             //   scope.

The `InPlaceInit` trait that provides two functions, for initializing
using `PinInit<T, E>` and `Init<T>`. It is implemented by `Arc<T>`,
`UniqueArc<T>` and `Box<T>`.

The `PinnedDrop` trait that facilitates destruction of pinned types.
It has to be implemented via the `#[pinned_drop]` macro, since the
`drop` function should not be called by normal code, only by other
destructors. It also only works on structs that are annotated with
`#[pin_data(PinnedDrop)]`.

+//! ## Manual creation of an initializer
+//!
+//! Often when working with primitives the previous approaches are not sufficient. That is where
+//! [`pin_init_from_closure()`] comes in. This `unsafe` function allows you to create a
+//! [`impl PinInit<T, E>`] directly from a closure. Of course you have to ensure that the closure
+//! actually does the initialization in the correct way. Here are the things to look out for
+//! (we are calling the parameter to the closure `slot`):
+//! - when the closure returns `Ok(())`, then it has completed the initialization successfully, so
+//!   `slot` now contains a valid bit pattern for the type `T`,
+//! - when the closure returns `Err(e)`, then the caller may deallocate the memory at `slot`, so
+//!   you need to take care to clean up anything if your initialization fails mid-way,
+//! - you may assume that `slot` will stay pinned even after the closure returns until `drop` of
+//!   `slot` gets called.
+//!
+//! ```rust

+//! This macro is used to implement the `PinnedDrop` trait, since that trait is `unsafe` and has an

+//!
+//! Here is the `PinnedDrop` impl for `Foo`:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! #[pinned_drop]
+//! impl PinnedDrop for Foo {
+//!     fn drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>) {
+//!         println!("{self:p} is getting dropped.");
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! This expands to the following code:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! // `unsafe`, full path and the token parameter are added, everything else stays the same.
+//! unsafe impl ::kernel::init::PinnedDrop for Foo {
+//!     fn drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>, _: ::kernel::init::__internal::OnlyCallFromDrop) {

+//!     }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## `pin_init!` on `Foo`
+//!
+//! Since we already took a look at `pin_init!` on `Bar`, this section will only explain the
+//! differences/new things in the expansion of `pin_init!` on `Foo`:
+//!
+//! ```rust
+//! let a = 42;
+//! let initializer = pin_init!(Foo {
+//!     a,
+//!     b <- Bar::new(36),
+//! });
+//! ```
+//!

The `stack_pin_init!` macro allows pin-initializing a value on the
stack. It accepts a `impl PinInit<T, E>` to initialize a `T`. It allows
propagating any errors via `?` or handling it normally via `match`.

Add the `Zeroable` trait which marks types that can be initialized by
writing `0x00` to every byte of the type. Also add the `init::zeroed`
function that creates an initializer for a `Zeroable` type that writes
`0x00` to every byte.

Add helper functions to more easily initialize `Opaque<T>` via FFI and
rust raw initializer functions.
These functions take a function pointer to the FFI/raw initialization
function and take between 0-4 other arguments. It then returns an
initializer that uses the FFI/raw initialization function along with the
given arguments to initialize an `Opaque<T>`.

`UniqueArc::try_new_uninit` calls `Arc::try_new(MaybeUninit::uninit())`.
This results in the uninitialized memory being placed on the stack,
which may be arbitrarily large due to the generic `T` and thus could
cause a stack overflow for large types.

Change the implementation to use the pin-init API which enables in-place
initialization. In particular it avoids having to first construct and
then move the uninitialized memory from the stack into the final location.

Add two functions `init_with` and `pin_init_with` to
`UniqueArc<MaybeUninit<T>>` to initialize the memory of already allocated
`UniqueArc`s. This is useful when you want to allocate memory check some
condition inside of a context where allocation is forbidden and then
conditionally initialize an object.

I personally don't like the fact that this is using function pointers,
as that generally causes a difficulty for static analysis tools.

How useful would this helper be?

unsafe {
    Opaque::ffi_init2(
        bindings::__init_waitqueue_head,
        name.as_char_ptr(),
        key.as_ptr(),
    )
}

doesn't save much from

unsafe {
    init::pin_init_from_closure(move |slot| {
        bindings::__init_waitqueue_head(
            Opaque::raw_get(slot),
            name.as_char_ptr(),
            key.as_ptr(),
       )
    )
}

Could you elaborate why? To make sure the $val evaluation happens
unconditionally?

This is done to allow `stack_pin_init!(let value = value);` i.e. naming
the variable the same as the expression that is evaluated.

> +//! This module provides the macros that actually implement the proc-macros `pin_data` and

> +//!
> +//! These macros should never be called directly, since they expect their input to be
> +//! in a certain format which is internal. Use the proc-macros instead.
> +//!
> +//! This architecture has been chosen because the kernel does not yet have access to `syn` which

> +//!
> +//! # Macro expansion example
> +//!
> +//! This section is intended for readers trying to understand the macros in this module and the
> +//! `pin_init!` macros from `init.rs`.
> +//!
> +//! We will look at the following example:
> +//!
> +//! ```rust
> +//! # use kernel::init::*;
> +//! #[pin_data]
> +//! #[repr(C)]
> +//! struct Bar<T> {
> +//!     #[pin]
> +//!     t: T,
> +//!     pub x: usize,
> +//! }
> +//!
> +//! impl<T> Bar<T> {
> +//!     fn new(t: T) -> impl PinInit<Self> {
> +//!         pin_init!(Self { t, x: 0 })
> +//!     }
> +//! }
> +//! ```
> +//!
> +//! This example includes the most common and important features of the pin-init API.
> +//!
> +//! Below you can find individual section about the different macro invocations. Here are some
> +//! general things we need to take into account when designing macros:
> +//! - use global paths, similarly to file paths, these start with the separator: `::core::panic!()`
> +//!   this ensures that the correct item is used, since users could define their own `mod core {}`
> +//!   and then their own `panic!` inside to execute arbitrary code inside of our macro.
> +//! - macro `unsafe` hygene: we need to ensure that we do not expand arbitrary, user-supplied
> +//!   expressions inside of an `unsafe` block in the macro, because this would allow users to do
> +//!   `unsafe` operations without an associated `unsafe` block.
> +//!
> +//! ## `#[pin_data]` on `Bar`
> +//!
> +//! This macro is used to specify which fields are structurally pinned and which fields are not. It
> +//! is placed on the struct definition and allows `#[pin]` to be placed on the fields.
> +//!
> +//! Here is the definition of `Bar` from our example:
> +//!
> +//! ```rust
> +//! # use kernel::init::*;
> +//! #[pin_data]
> +//! #[repr(C)]
> +//! struct Bar<T> {
> +//!     t: T,
> +//!     pub x: usize,
> +//! }
> +//! ```
> +//!
> +//! This expands to the following code:
> +//!
> +//! ```rust
> +//! // Firstly the normal definition of the struct, attributes are preserved:
> +//! #[repr(C)]
> +//! struct Bar<T> {
> +//!     t: T,
> +//!     pub x: usize,
> +//! }
> +//! // Then an anonymous constant is defined, this is because we do not want any code to access the
> +//! // types that we define inside:
> +//! const _: () = {
> +//!     // We define the pin-data carrying struct, it is a ZST and needs to have the same generics,

> +//!     struct __ThePinData<T> {

function initializes the contents via a user-supplied initializer for
`T`.
