Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 rcu 7/8] arch/loongarch: Add ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS Kconfig option
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2022 11:07:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220929180731.2875722-7-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220929180714.GA2874192@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>

The loongarch architecture uses the atomic read-modify-write amadd
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.
