[PATCH v4] rust: add global lock support

Alice Ryhl
2024-09-30T13:11:26Z

Add support for creating global variables that are wrapped in a mutex or
spinlock. Optionally, the macro can generate a special LockedBy type
that does not require a runtime check.

The implementation here is intended to replace the global mutex
workaround found in the Rust Binder RFC [1]. In both cases, the global
lock must be initialized before first use. The macro is unsafe to use
for the same reason.

The separate initialization step is required because it is tricky to
access the value of __ARCH_SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED from Rust. Doing so will
require changes to the C side. That change will happen as a follow-up to
this patch.

This patch is based on top of v6.12-rc1 with:
* https://lore.kernel.org/r/BL0PR02MB4914579914884B5D7473B3D6E96A2@BL0PR02MB4914.namprd02.prod.outlook.com
---
Changes in v4:
- Evaluate `$value` in the surrounding scope.
- Make types `pub(crate)` to avoid "private type in public interface"
errors when using the macro.
- Add trylock method.
- using https://lore.kernel.org/r/BL0PR02MB4914579914884B5D7473B3D6E96A2@BL0PR02MB4914.namprd02.prod.outlook.com
- Add Send/Sync implementations of LockedBy.
- Fix examples so they compile.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240910-static-mutex-v3-1-5bebd11bdf3b@google.com

Changes in v3:
- Rewrite to provide a macro instead.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240827-static-mutex-v2-1-17fc32b20332@google.com

Changes in v2:
- Require `self: Pin<&Self>` and recommend `Pin::static_ref`.
- Other doc improvements including new example.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240826-static-mutex-v1-1-a14ee71561f3@google.com
