When building the kernel on Arch Linux using on x86_64 with tools:
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.84.0 (9fc6b4312 2025-01-07)
$ cargo --version
cargo 1.84.0 (66221abde 2024-11-19)
$ clang --version
clang version 19.1.7
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

The following symbols are generated:
$ nm vmlinux | rg ' _R' | rustfilt | rg faux
ffffffff81959ae0 T <kernel::faux::Registration>::new
ffffffff81959b40 T <kernel::faux::Registration as core::ops::drop::Drop>::drop

However, these Rust symbols are wrappers around bindings in the C faux
code. Inlining these functions removes the middle-man wrapper function
After applying this patch, the above function signatures disappear.

Is there a reason you didn't drop this from the commit message?

On v1 I replied with:

Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com>

So you should add that to the commit message when you send a new
version. :)

(Unless there are changes that require me to review it again.)

I wasn't sure if the authoritative answer was to drop it. I will not
include it from now on. Thanks.

My apologies. I forgot to include it, as b4 usually pulls them down for
me and I was just using format-patch and mutt to send v2.

Thanks for applying the patch, Greg.

Thanks everyone for their help. Rust in the kernel isn't as scary as it
seems! I'll be back to help some more ;).
