[PATCH 1/3] rust: Introduce irq module

[PATCH 1/3] rust: Introduce irq module

[Lyude Paul]

This introduces a module for dealing with interrupt-disabled contexts,
including the ability to enable and disable interrupts
(with_irqs_disabled()) - along with the ability to annotate functions as
expecting that IRQs are already disabled on the local CPU.

Nit, the '{' goes on the next line for a function declaration in C.
checkpatch.pl should have caught this, right?

Ah yes - I will make sure to remember to run make checkpatch, this is the
first time I've sent a kernel patch that wasn't for C so it slipped my mind by
mistake when trying to figure out all of the style checkers I needed to run
for rust patches.

I would expect the function to take `IrqDisabled` by value instead of by
reference.

Because then you don't need a borrow (`&`) here.

You would also need to `#[derive(Clone, Copy)]` and since we're at it, I
would also add `Debug, Ord, Eq, PartialOrd, PartialEq, Hash`.
The last ones are important if we want to have structs that can only
exist while IRQs are disabled. I don't know if that makes sense, but I
think it's fine to add the derives now.

Another thing, I am wondering if we want this to be invariant over the
lifetime, I don't have a good reason, but I still think we should
consider it.

I don't see a check in the function below.

What about adding a function here (taking `self` or `&self`, it doesn't
matter if you derived `Copy`) that checks if IRQs are disabled when
debug assertions are on?

I vaguely remember that there were some problems with sleeping in IRQ
disabled contexts, is that me just misremembering (eg confusing it with
atomic context), or do we need to watch out for that?
Because if that is the case, then we would need to use klint.

Just to make sure, this function only enables interrupts, if they were
enabled before the call to `local_irq_save` above, right?

Agh, thanks for pointing this out! I totally forgot I wanted to investigate

You're correct - sleeping isn't allowed in no-irq contexts. 

> Because if that is the case, then we would need to use klint.

Ok - I've never used klint before but I'm happy to look into it and try to
implement something for it.

FWIW too: I assume we would still want klint anyway, but I think it's at least
worth mentioning the kernel does have a compile option for WARNing on sleeps
in sleepless contexts

Correct - `local_irq_save()` only saves the CPU's current IRQ flags. So if
interrupts were already disabled in the context we call `local_irq_save()`, we
end up restoring the same IRQ-disabled flags on the processor when we get to
`local_irq_restore()`. This is also why the closure interface for this is
necessary - to ensure that nested interrupt flag saves are always undone in
the reverse order to ensure this assumption always holds.

I am not 100% up to date, last time I heard Gary (the maintainer/author
of klint) talk about it, I remember that it wasn't fully ready for this
stuff. Don't know if this has changed in the meantime.
I don't think this is anything that you can do much, since it's rather
complex, so I will just ping Gary on the status.

So the plan always was to not make it a hard error. Essentially instead
of having `unsafe` littered al over the place when you switch context,
klint would ensure (like the borrow checker for ownership) that
everything is fine.

I don't think lifetime necessarily needs to be discussed here, since
this doesn't have any  action on drop. A functional description may be
better, possibly:

        A token that is only available in contexts where IRQs are disabled.

        [`IrqDisabled`] is marker made available when interrupts are
        not active. Certain functions (such as [`SOMETHING`]) take an
        `IrqDisabled` in order to indicate that they may only be run in
        IRQ-free contexts.

        This is a marker type; it has no size, and is simply used as a
        compile-time guarantee that interrupts are disabled where required.

        This token can be created by [`with_irqs_disabled`]. See
        [`with_irqs_disabled`] for examples and further information.

I think it would be okay to only have examples in one place, possible
`with_irqs_disabled` since that seems like it will get more direct use.
If you would like one here, this one and its docs may need an update
(takes by reference rather than by value).

The wording makes it sound like the entire function is a no-op if IRQs
are disabled, rather than the act of disabling IRQs. Could you clarify?

Suggested docs addition:

        This creates an [`IrqDisabled`] token, which can be passed to
        functions that must be run  without interrupts.

        ```
        fn some_sync_action(_irq: IrqDisabled<'_>) {
                /* When the token is available, IRQs are known to be disabled.
                   Actions that rely on this can be safely performed. */
        }

        with_irqs_disabled(|irq_dis| {
                some_sync_action(irq_dis);
        })
        ```

Maybe it would be better to put some more extensive module-level docs
with a couple examples, then for the function / type-level docs just
link there?

I think you need to make this type !Send and !Sync (because you are
going to make it Copy). Otherwise, you will be able to pass the irq
disabled token to another thread on a different CPU which doesn't have
irq disabled.

Oh yeah this is a good catch! (although it should not matter at the
moment, see the end of the note below)

Just a note: it is not because of making it Copy, this problem already
exists in the current implementation. One could have sent the reference
to a different thread using a "scoped spawn"-esque function [1]. IIRC we
currently do not have such a function, but it should be possible to
later add such a function. (and it is much more accurate to make this
type not be thread safe)

Ah, you're right. I was thinking ahead, i.e. dont_interrupt_me() takes a
`IrqDisabled` instead of a `&IrqDisabled`. But it comes along with the
deal of making `IrqDisabled` `Copy` ;-)

Yes, scoped spawned timers and works will be very useful, because they
can use stacks for the data structures.

[PATCH 2/3] rust: sync: Introduce LockContainer trait

[Lyude Paul]

We want to be able to use spinlocks in no-interrupt contexts, but our
current `Lock` infrastructure doesn't allow for the ability to pass
arguments when acquiring a lock - meaning that there would be no way for us
to verify interrupts are disabled before granting a lock since we have
nowhere to pass an `IrqGuard`.

It doesn't particularly made sense for us to add the ability to pass such
an argument either: this would technically work, but then we would have to
pass empty units as arguments on all of the many locks that are not grabbed
under interrupts. As a result, we go with a slightly nicer solution:
introducing a trait for types which can contain a lock of a specific type:
LockContainer. This means we can still use locks implemented on top of
other lock types in types such as `LockedBy` - as we convert `LockedBy` to
begin using `LockContainer` internally and implement the trait for all
existing lock types.

I think there is a solution that would allow us to have both[1]:
1. Add a new associated type to `Backend` called `Context`.
2. Add a new parameter to `Backend::lock`: `ctx: Self::Context`.
3. Add a new function to `Lock<T: ?Sized, B: Backend>`:
   `lock_with(&self, ctx: B::Context)` that delegates to `B::lock`.
4. Reimplement `Lock::lock` in terms of `Lock::lock_with`, by
   constraining the function to only be callable if
   `B::Context: Default` holds (and then using `Default::default()` as
   the value).

This way people can still use `lock()` as usual, but we can also have
`lock_with(irq)` for locks that require it.

[1]: I think I saw this kind of a pattern first from Wedson in the
context of passing default allocation flags.

This safety requirement is rather unclear to me, there isn't really a
good place to put the `LockContainer` requirements when implementing
this trait.
I also don't understand the use-case where a lock can only be acquired
in certain circumstances, do you have an example?

[PATCH 3/3] rust: sync: Add IrqSpinLock

[Lyude Paul]

A variant of SpinLock that is expected to be used in noirq contexts, and
thus requires that the user provide an kernel::irq::IrqDisabled to prove
they are in such a context upon lock acquisition. This is the rust
equivalent of spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_lock_irqrestore().

So aside from the horrendous camel-case thing, why are you naming this
thing the wrong way around? Shouldn't it be SpinLockIrq rather than
IrqSpinLock? Or possibly even SpinLockIrqSave?

Randomly changing the names of things isn't going to make it any easier
for people to use this stuff.

Yeah you're probably right - I'll fix this on the next iteration

Also - sorry I didn't notice this comment before, but I wanted to respond
since it seems like you may not be aware: camel case is mandated as part of
the rust standard:

https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html

Of course the kernel has its own coding standards that we need to conform to
within reason! But if we tried to ignore camel casing for rust code we'd end
up with rust code where everything would be mixed between types from core
being camel cased and types from kernel crates not being camel cased.

> thing the wrong way around? Shouldn't it be SpinLockIrq rather than

fwiw too: I'm going to go with SpinLockIrq. SpinLockIrqSave would be a bit
misleading to what this type does because the interface simply makes it so
that it's impossible to acquire the lock outside of no-irq contexts without
resorting to unsafe blocks. Which is fine, since unsafe code is expected to be
able to violate any invariant of the language and relies on programmer-
enforced correctness like C.

Yeah, I'm aware, it is one of the very many reasons I find it very very
hard to like Rust :/
