Joel Fernandes b9616d9721 rust: gpu: Add GPU buddy allocator bindings
Add safe Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
allocator for physical memory management. The GPU buddy allocator
implements a binary buddy system useful for GPU physical memory
allocation. nova-core will use it for physical memory allocation.

//! GPU buddy allocator bindings.
//!
//! C header: [`include/linux/gpu_buddy.h`](srctree/include/linux/gpu_buddy.h)
//!
//! This module provides Rust abstractions over the Linux kernel's GPU buddy
//! allocator, which implements a binary buddy memory allocator.
//!
//! The buddy allocator manages a contiguous address space and allocates blocks
//! in power-of-two sizes, useful for GPU physical memory management.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Create a buddy allocator and perform a basic range allocation:
//!
//! ```
//! use kernel::{
//! gpu::buddy::{
//! GpuBuddy,
//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags,
//! GpuBuddyAllocMode,
//! GpuBuddyParams, //
//! },
//! prelude::*,
//! ptr::Alignment,
//! sizes::*, //
//! };
//!
//! // Create a 1GB buddy allocator with 4KB minimum chunk size.
//! let buddy = GpuBuddy::new(GpuBuddyParams {
//! base_offset: 0,
//! size: SZ_1G as u64,
//! chunk_size: Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>(),
//! })?;
//!
//! assert_eq!(buddy.size(), SZ_1G as u64);
//! assert_eq!(buddy.chunk_size(), Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>());
//! let initial_free = buddy.avail();
//!
//! // Allocate 16MB. Block lands at the top of the address range.
//! let allocated = KBox::pin_init(
//! buddy.alloc_blocks(
//! GpuBuddyAllocMode::Simple,
//! SZ_16M as u64,
//! Alignment::new::<SZ_16M>(),
//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags::default(),
//! ),
//! GFP_KERNEL,
//! )?;
//! assert_eq!(buddy.avail(), initial_free - SZ_16M as u64);
//!
//! let block = allocated.iter().next().expect("expected one block");
//! assert_eq!(block.offset(), (SZ_1G - SZ_16M) as u64);
//! assert_eq!(block.order(), 12); // 2^12 pages = 16MB
//! assert_eq!(block.size(), SZ_16M as u64);
//! assert_eq!(allocated.iter().count(), 1);
//!
//! // Dropping the allocation returns the range to the buddy allocator.
//! drop(allocated);
//! assert_eq!(buddy.avail(), initial_free);
//! # Ok::<(), Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! Top-down allocation allocates from the highest addresses:
//!
//! ```
//! # use kernel::{
//! # gpu::buddy::{GpuBuddy, GpuBuddyAllocMode, GpuBuddyAllocFlags, GpuBuddyParams},
//! # prelude::*,
//! # ptr::Alignment,
//! # sizes::*, //
//! # };
//! # let buddy = GpuBuddy::new(GpuBuddyParams {
//! # base_offset: 0,
//! # size: SZ_1G as u64,
//! # chunk_size: Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>(),
//! # })?;
//! # let initial_free = buddy.avail();
//! let topdown = KBox::pin_init(
//! buddy.alloc_blocks(
//! GpuBuddyAllocMode::TopDown,
//! SZ_16M as u64,
//! Alignment::new::<SZ_16M>(),
//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags::default(),
//! ),
//! GFP_KERNEL,
//! )?;
//! assert_eq!(buddy.avail(), initial_free - SZ_16M as u64);
//!
//! let block = topdown.iter().next().expect("expected one block");
//! assert_eq!(block.offset(), (SZ_1G - SZ_16M) as u64);
//! assert_eq!(block.order(), 12);
//! assert_eq!(block.size(), SZ_16M as u64);
//!
//! // Dropping the allocation returns the range to the buddy allocator.
//! drop(topdown);
//! assert_eq!(buddy.avail(), initial_free);
//! # Ok::<(), Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! Non-contiguous allocation can fill fragmented memory by returning multiple
//! blocks:
//!
//! ```
//! # use kernel::{
//! # gpu::buddy::{
//! # GpuBuddy, GpuBuddyAllocFlags, GpuBuddyAllocMode, GpuBuddyParams,
//! # },
//! # prelude::*,
//! # ptr::Alignment,
//! # sizes::*, //
//! # };
//! # let buddy = GpuBuddy::new(GpuBuddyParams {
//! # base_offset: 0,
//! # size: SZ_1G as u64,
//! # chunk_size: Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>(),
//! # })?;
//! # let initial_free = buddy.avail();
//! // Create fragmentation by allocating 4MB blocks at [0,4M) and [8M,12M).
//! let frag1 = KBox::pin_init(
//! buddy.alloc_blocks(
//! GpuBuddyAllocMode::Range(0..SZ_4M as u64),
//! SZ_4M as u64,
//! Alignment::new::<SZ_4M>(),
//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags::default(),
//! ),
//! GFP_KERNEL,
//! )?;
//! assert_eq!(buddy.avail(), initial_free - SZ_4M as u64);
//!
//! let frag2 = KBox::pin_init(
//! buddy.alloc_blocks(
//! GpuBuddyAllocMode::Range(SZ_8M as u64..(SZ_8M + SZ_4M) as u64),
//! SZ_4M as u64,
//! Alignment::new::<SZ_4M>(),
//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags::default(),
//! ),
//! GFP_KERNEL,
//! )?;
//! assert_eq!(buddy.avail(), initial_free - SZ_8M as u64);
//!
//! // Allocate 8MB, this returns 2 blocks from the holes.
//! let fragmented = KBox::pin_init(
//! buddy.alloc_blocks(
//! GpuBuddyAllocMode::Range(0..SZ_16M as u64),
//! SZ_8M as u64,
//! Alignment::new::<SZ_4M>(),
//! GpuBuddyAllocFlags::default(),
//! ),
//! GFP_KERNEL,
//! )?;
//! assert_eq!(buddy.avail(), initial_free - SZ_16M as u64);
//!
//! let (mut count, mut total) = (0u32, 0u64);
//! for block in fragmented.iter() {
//! assert_eq!(block.size(), SZ_4M as u64);
//! total += block.size();
//! count += 1;
//! }
//! assert_eq!(total, SZ_8M as u64);
//! assert_eq!(count, 2);
//! # Ok::<(), Error>(())
//! ```
//!
//! Contiguous allocation fails when only fragmented space is available:
//!
//! ```
//! # use kernel::{
//! # gpu::buddy::{
//! # GpuBuddy, GpuBuddyAllocFlag, GpuBuddyAllocFlags, GpuBuddyAllocMode, GpuBuddyParams,
//! # },
//! # prelude::*,

//! # sizes::*, //
//! # };
//! // Create a small 16MB buddy allocator with fragmented memory.
//! let small = GpuBuddy::new(GpuBuddyParams {
//! base_offset: 0,
//! size: SZ_16M as u64,
//! chunk_size: Alignment::new::<SZ_4K>(),
//! })?;
//!
//! let _hole1 = KBox::pin_init(
