vasilito cb424d7448 build: static patch-sanity linter (shift-left the malformed-patch class)
verify-patch-sanity.py validates every active recipe .patch has internally-
consistent hunk line counts — catching the 'malformed patch at line N' failure
at commit/CI/preflight time instead of hours into a cook. This cycle hit that
class three times (qtwaylandscanner, sddm, xwayland), each only discovered when
cookbook tried to apply the patch.

Running it across the repo found 29 latent malformed patches (validated against
GNU patch: e.g. relibc/P3-sysv-ipc reproduces 'malformed patch at line 22').
They were harmless only because they sit in vendored recipes (baked, not re-
applied) — but would fail on any version-bump re-derivation. --fix recounts the
hunk headers (body untouched) and repaired all 29.

Wired into build-preflight.sh (Phase 1.0D) and redbear-ci.yml, with a unit test
(test-patch-sanity.sh). Skips archived/legacy trees and unvalidatable formats
(empty placeholders, bare-@@ git hunks).

Rusticl
=======
Rusticl is an OpenCL implementation on top of Gallium drivers.
Enabling
--------
In order to use Rusticl on any platform the environment variable
:envvar:`RUSTICL_ENABLE` has to be used. Rusticl does not advertise devices
for any driver by default yet as doing so can impact system stability until
remaining core issues are ironed out.
Enabling drivers by default
---------------------------
Distributions and everybody building rusticl themselves can opt-in or opt-out
certain drivers from being enabled by default. The
``gallium-rusticl-enable-drivers`` takes a list of drivers to enable by
default. The environment variable :envvar:`RUSTICL_ENABLE` will overwrite this
list at runtime.
Not all drivers are supported to be enabled by default, because that should
require opt-in by the driver maintainers. Check out the meson option
documentation to see for which drivers this option is supported.
The ``auto`` option might not enable all drivers supported by this flag, but
for distribution it's recommended to use that one unless they get an ack from
driver maintainers to expand the list.
Building
--------
To build Rusticl you need to satisfy the following build dependencies:
- ``rustc``
- ``rustfmt`` (highly recommended, but only *required* for CI builds
or when authoring patches)
- ``bindgen``
- `LLVM <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/>`__ built with
``libclc`` and ``-DLLVM_ENABLE_DUMP=ON``.
- `SPIRV-Tools <https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Tools>`__
- `SPIRV-LLVM-Translator
<https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-LLVM-Translator>`__ for a
``libLLVMSPIRVLib.so`` matching your version of LLVM, i.e. if you're
using LLVM 15 (``libLLVM.so.15``), then you need a
``libLLVMSPIRVLib.so.15``.
The minimum versions to build Rusticl are:
- Rust: 1.82
- Meson: 1.7.0
- Bindgen: 0.71.1
- LLVM: 15.0.0 (recommended 19.0.0)
- Clang: 15.0.0
Updating clang requires a rebuilt mesa and rusticl if and only if the value of
``CLANG_RESOURCE_DIR`` changes. It is defined through ``clang/Config/config.h``.
- SPIRV-Tools: any version (recommended: v2025.1)
Afterwards you only need to add ``-Dgallium-rusticl=true -Dllvm=enabled
-Drust_std=2021`` to your build options.
Most of the code related to Mesa's C code lives inside ``/mesa``, with
the occasional use of enums, structs or constants through the code base.
If you need help ping ``karolherbst`` either in ``#dri-devel`` or
``#rusticl`` on OFTC.
Contributing
------------
The minimum configuration you need to start developing with rust
is ``RUSTC=clippy-driver meson configure -Dgallium-rusticl=true
-Dllvm=enabled -Drust_std=2021``. In addition you probably want to enable
any device drivers on your platform. Some device drivers as well as some
features are locked behind flags during runtime. See
:ref:`Rusticl environment variables <rusticl-env-var>` for
more info.
All patches that are potentially conformance breaking and also patches
that add new features should be ran against the appropriate conformance
tests.
Also, make sure the formatting is in order before submitting code. That
can easily be done via ``git ls-files */{lib,main}.rs | xargs rustfmt``.
When submitting Merge Requests or filing bugs related to Rusticl, make
sure to add the ``Rusticl`` label so people subscribed to that Label get
pinged.
Known issues
------------
One issue you might come across is, that the Rust edition meson sets is
not right. This is a known `meson bug
<https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/10664>`__ and in order to
fix it, simply run ``meson configure $your_build_dir -Drust_std=2021``
