summary

Rust for Linux moves from a large prototype to a focused v9 that is trimmed to ~500 lines and reduces the surface from ~40k to ~13k lines, aiming to land minimal kernel module support first. Tooling now uses stable Rust, removes allocation panics, and adds workqueue-based async executor plus a local executor, basic RCU read-side, IRQ and file-op support. A kernel 9p server runs with no unsafe blocks (~1k lines) and doc examples compile and run under kunit; upstreaming and wider maintainer adoption are next.
