From 7044dcff8301b29269016ebd17df27c4736140d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benno Lossin benno.lossin@proton.me Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2024 18:52:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] rust: macros: fix soundness issue in `module!` macro MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The `module!` macro creates glue code that are called by C to initialize the Rust modules using the `Module::init` function. Part of this glue code are the local functions `__init` and `__exit` that are used to initialize/destroy the Rust module.

These functions are safe and also visible to the Rust mod in which the `module!` macro is invoked. This means that they can be called by other safe Rust code. But since they contain `unsafe` blocks that rely on only being called at the right time, this is a soundness issue.

Wrap these generated functions inside of two private modules, this guarantees that the public functions cannot be called from the outside. Make the safe functions `unsafe` and add SAFETY comments.
