<title>rust: sync: atomic: Add atomic operation helpers over raw pointers</title>

<id>e2f9c86f33abb89d3e52436018f58e5fb951cc04</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to synchronize with C or external memory, atomic operations
over raw pointers are need. Although there is already an
`Atomic::from_ptr()` to provide a `&amp;Atomic&lt;T&gt;`, it's more convenient to
have helpers that directly perform atomic operations on raw pointers.
Hence a few are added, which are basically an `Atomic::from_ptr().op()`
wrapper.

Note: for naming, since `atomic_xchg()` and `atomic_cmpxchg()` have a
conflict naming to 32bit C atomic xchg/cmpxchg, hence the helpers are
just named as `xchg()` and `cmpxchg()`. For `atomic_load()` and
`atomic_store()`, their 32bit C counterparts are `atomic_read()` and
`atomic_set()`, so keep the `atomic_` prefix.

Add AtomicFlag type for boolean flags.

Document when AtomicFlag is generally preferable to Atomic&lt;bool&gt;: in
particular, when RMW operations such as xchg()/cmpxchg() may be used
and minimizing memory usage is not the top priority. On some
architectures without byte-sized RMW instructions, Atomic&lt;bool&gt; can be
slower for RMW operations.

Atomic pointer support is an important piece of synchronization
algorithm, e.g. RCU, hence provide the support for that.

Note that instead of relying on atomic_long or the implementation of
`Atomic&lt;usize&gt;`, a new set of helpers (atomic_ptr_*) is introduced for
atomic pointer specifically, this is because ptr2int casting would
lose the provenance of a pointer and even though in theory there are a
few tricks the provenance can be restored, it'll still be a simpler
implementation if C could provide atomic pointers directly. The side
effects of this approach are: we don't have the arithmetic and logical
operations for pointers yet and the current implementation only works
on ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW architectures, but these are implementation
issues and can be added later.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Lock debugging:

   - Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
     using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
     (Marco Elver)

     We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
     removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
     Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
     positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
     context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
     side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
     analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
     the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
     maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
     active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
     the annotations &amp; fixers to developers who introduce new code.

     Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
     trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
     model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
     results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
     our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
     default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
     that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
     zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
     in distribution, admittedly)

     Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
     zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
     and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
     for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
     disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.

     ( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
       if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
       relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )

  Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng)

    - Add support for Atomic&lt;i8/i16/bool&gt; and replace most Rust native
      AtomicBool usages with Atomic&lt;bool&gt;

    - Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation

    - Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce

    - Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be

    - Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for
      helper LTO

    - Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional function
      calls

  WW mutexes:

    - Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John
      Stultz)

  Misc fixes and cleanups:

    - rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline (Arnd
      Bergmann)

    - locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra)

    - seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap)

    - rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings (Tamir

       = note: this error originates in the macro `::core::assert` which comes from the expansion of the macro `static_assert` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

The reason is that `rusttest` runs on the host, so for e.g. a x86_64
builder `isize` is 64 bits but it is not a `CONFIG_64BIT` build.

Fix it by providing a stub for `rusttest` as usual.

<content type='text'>
Add `bool` support, `Atomic&lt;bool&gt;` by using `i8` as its underlying
representation.

Rust specifies that `bool` has size 1 and alignment 1 [1], so it
matches `i8` on layout; keep `static_assert!()` checks to enforce this
assumption at build time.

<title>rust: sync: atomic: Add i8/i16 xchg and cmpxchg support</title>

<id>584f286f822afecc1a6521a27b3caf3e2f515d41</id>
<content type='text'>
Add atomic xchg and cmpxchg operation support for i8 and i16 types
with tests.

Note that since the current implementation of
Atomic::&lt;{i8,i16}&gt;::{load,store}() is READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()-based.
The atomicity between load/store and xchg/cmpxchg is only guaranteed if
the architecture has native RmW support, hence i8/i16 is currently
AtomicImpl only when CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RWM=y.

CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RWM=y]
