Subject: [PATCH 10/24] preempt: Introduce HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:30:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731203031.13679-11-boqun@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731203031.13679-1-boqun@kernel.org>
With the changes that enable preempt count to tracking irq disabling
nesting, we don't have enough bits in 32bit preempt count
implementation, as a result we move NMI nesting bits out of the 32bit
preempt count. However on the architectures that can support 64bit
preempt count implementation, we can keep the NMI nesting bits in the
32bit preempt count and avoid maintaining NMI nesting bits out of the
same cache line.
Therefore HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS is introduced to allow
architectures to select this. Note that under this kconfig, preempt
count is maintained in a 64bit word however preempt_count() still
remains as an int because all the effective bits still fit in
(previously we mask out NEED_RESCHED bit in preempt_count()). This
should make no functional changes for existing preempt_count() users.
Enable this for x86_64 along with the introduction of the Kconfig.
[boqun: Undo the __preempt_count_{add,sub}() optimization in 32bit
preempt count since it may introduce {over,under}flow]
