Subject: [PATCH v3 rcu 05/11] arch/x86: Add ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS Kconfig option
Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2022 15:58:40 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221019225846.2501109-5-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221019225838.GA2500612@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>

The x86 architecture uses an add-to-memory instruction to implement
this_cpu_add(), which is NMI safe.  This means that the old and
more-efficient srcu_read_lock() may be used in NMI context, without
the need for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe().  Therefore, add the new Kconfig
option ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS to arch/x86/Kconfig, which will
cause NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE to be deselected, thus preserving the current
srcu_read_lock() behavior.
