-4.4 Controlling compiler options for host programs
+4.4 Using Rust for host programs
+--------------------------------
+
+ Kbuild offers support for host programs written in Rust. However,
+ since a Rust toolchain is not mandatory for kernel compilation,
+ it may only be used in scenarios where Rust is required to be
+ available (e.g. when ``CONFIG_RUST`` is enabled).
+
+ Example::
+
+ hostprogs := target
+ target-rust := y
+
+ Kbuild will compile ``target`` using ``target.rs`` as the crate root,
+ located in the same directory as the ``Makefile``. The crate may
+ consist of several source files (see ``samples/rust/hostprogs``).
