Rust for Linux: Writing Safe Abstractions and Drivers

Explore the integration of Rust into the Linux kernel in this comprehensive mentorship session led by Miguel Ojeda, Rust for Linux Maintainer. Delve into the key benefits of Rust as a system programming language, including its guarantee of no undefined behavior, prevention of common errors, and enhanced safety features. Learn about the Rust support infrastructure in the kernel, covering compilation models, documentation, testing, and coding guidelines. Gain hands-on knowledge on setting up and building a kernel with Rust support, creating new bindings to the C side, developing safe abstractions, and writing Rust modules without unsafe code. Suitable for all skill levels, no prior Rust knowledge is required to participate in this informative 1-hour 31-minute session that showcases the potential of Rust in Linux kernel development.
