Hi Peter,
Please pull this Rust synchronization changes for v7.3 into tip.
The major changes are the introduction of preempt_count backed interrupt
disabling level tracking, i.e. the local_interrupt_{enable, disable}(),
along with the user (the Rust SpinLockIrq). This should unblock a few
drivers in Rust. For other changes, please refer the following change
log.
The following changes since commit 5e601ab3615c86be7c4068ce992f94654693a032:

rust: revocable: Use LKMM atomics instead of Rust atomics (2026-07-30 13:38:53 -0700)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rust synchronization changes for v7.3:
* Safe SpinLockIrq
- Introduce refcounted interrupt disabling and corresponding spinlock
primitives, which tracks the interrupt disabling "level" in
preempt_count, as a result, this set of primitives can automatically
restore the interrupt disabling status when the outermost critical
section exits.
- Based on the above, a SpinLockIrq is introduced on the Rust side,
the guard of which will automatically restore the interrupt
disabling status when dropped. This avoid playing unsafe games when
using irq disabled spinlocks.
* Add synchronize_rcu() safe abstraction.
* Generic memory barrier: this extends our Rust barrier primitives to
include more barriers for DMA as well.
* Replace the atomic usage in Revocable with LKMM atomics.

From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
Move NMI nesting tracking from the preempt_count bits to a separate per-CPU
counter (nmi_nesting). This is to free up the NMI bits in the preempt_count,
allowing those bits to be repurposed for other uses.
Reduce NMI_BITS from 4 to 1, using it only to detect if we're in an NMI.
The per-CPU counter currently caps nesting at 15.
[boqun: Solve Steven Rostedt's comment on the BUG_ON() condition]
[boqun: Use preempt_count_set() in __nmi_exit() to avoid underflow]

using part of preempt_count() to track interrupt disabling nested level,
change the preempt_count() layout to contain 8-bit HARDIRQ_DISABLE

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>
In order to use preempt_count() to tracking the interrupt disable
nesting level, __preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() are introduced, as
their name suggest, these primitives return the new value of the
preempt_count() after changing it. The following example shows the usage
of it in local_interrupt_disable():
// increase the HARDIRQ_DISABLE bit
new_count = __preempt_count_add_return(HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET);
// if it's the first-time increment, then disable the interrupt
// at hardware level.
if ((new_count & HARDIRQ_DISABLE_MASK) == HARDIRQ_DISABLE_OFFSET) {
local_irq_save(flags);
raw_cpu_write(local_interrupt_disable_state.flags, flags);
}
Having these primitives will avoid a read of preempt_count() after
changing preempt_count() on certain architectures.

While OpenRISC currently doesn't fail to build upstream, it appears that
include <asm/smp.h> in the right headers is enough to break that -
primarily because OpenRISC's asm/smp.h header doesn't actually provide any
definition for struct cpumask. Which means the only reason we aren't
failing to build kernel is because we've been lucky enough that every spot
including asm/smp.h already has definitions for struct cpumask pulled in.
This became evident when trying to work on a patch series for adding
ref-counted interrupt enable/disables to the kernel, where introducing a
new interrupt_rc.h header suddenly introduced a build error on OpenRISC:

To fix this, let's take an example from the smp.h headers of other
architectures (x86, hexagon, arm64, probably more): just include
linux/cpumask.h at the top.

From: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>
Currently the nested interrupt disabling and enabling is present by
_irqsave() and _irqrestore() APIs, which are relatively unsafe, for
example:
<interrupts are enabled as beginning>
spin_lock_irqsave(l1, flag1);
spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(l1, flags1);
<l2 is still held but interrupts are enabled>
// accesses to interrupt-disable protect data will cause races.
This is even easier to triggered with guard facilities:
unsigned long flag2;
scoped_guard(spin_lock_irqsave, l1) {
spin_lock_irqsave(l2, flag2);
}
// l2 locked but interrupts are enabled.
spin_unlock_irqrestore(l2, flag2);
(Hand-to-hand locking critical sections are not uncommon for a
fine-grained lock design)
And because this unsafety, Rust cannot easily wrap the
interrupt-disabling locks in a safe API, which complicates the design.
To resolve this, introduce a new set of interrupt disabling APIs:
* local_interrupt_disable();
* local_interrupt_enable();
They work like local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() except that 1)
the outermost local_interrupt_disable() call save the interrupt state
into a percpu variable, so that the outermost local_interrupt_enable()
can restore the state, and 2) a percpu counter is added to record the
nest level of these calls, so that interrupts are not accidentally
enabled inside the outermost critical section.
Also add the corresponding spin_lock primitives: spin_lock_irq_disable()
and spin_unlock_irq_enable(), as a result, code as follow:
spin_lock_irq_disable(l1);
spin_lock_irq_disable(l2);
spin_unlock_irq_enable(l1);
// Interrupts are still disabled.
spin_unlock_irq_enable(l2);
doesn't have the issue that interrupts are accidentally enabled.
This also makes the wrapper of interrupt-disabling locks on Rust easier
to design.

While making changes to the refcounted interrupt patch series, at some
point on my local branch I broke something and ended up writing some kunit
tests for testing refcounted interrupts as a result. So, let's include
these tests now that we have refcounted interrupts.

The semantics of various irq disabling guards match what
*_irq_{disable,enable}() provide, i.e. the interrupt disabling is
properly nested, therefore it's OK to switch to use
*_irq_{disable,enable}() primitives.

The preempt_offset is always 0 in all the callsites of __cant_sleep(),
hence remove it. It also allows us to clear the code a bit by stopping
using a "preempt_count() > .." comparison.

Currently preempt_count() is always a non-negative int on all archs
(PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED archs will mask out the MSB when return
preempt_count()), hence the checking in __cant_migrate() is in fact just
checking whether preempt_count() is 0 or not. In a future change, we are
going to use all the 32 bits of preempt_count(), which would make
negative int values possible from preempt_count(). Therefore convert the
"> 0" comparison into a zero checking to prepare for the future change.
No functional changes are intended.

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]

ARM64 already uses 64bit preempt count and the need reschedule bit is
maintained in a separate 32bit than the preempt count. Therefore preempt
count has enough bits to represent 16 level of NMI nesting, hence enable
it for ARM64. This saves a per-CPU variable and additional instructions
in the NMI path.

In local_interrupt_enable(), we could avoid re-reading preempt count
because of should_resched() by using the result from
hardirq_disable_exit(), however this means __preempt_count_add_return()
and __preempt_count_sub_return() need to return all the preempt count
bits (including the PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED bit), since the only user of
__preempt_count_{add,sub}_return() is hardirq_disable_{enter,exit}(),
hence make them return "unsigned long" to optimize this.

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>
This introduces a module for dealing with interrupt-disabled contexts,
including the ability to enable and disable interrupts along with the
ability to annotate functions as expecting that IRQs are already
disabled on the local CPU.
[Boqun: This is based on Lyude's work on interrupt disable abstraction,
I port to the new local_interrupt_disable() mechanism to make it work
as a guard type. I cannot even take the credit of this design, since
Lyude also brought up the same idea in zulip. Anyway, this is only for
POC purpose, and of course all bugs are mine]

A variant of `SpinLock` that ensures interrupts are disabled in the
critical section. `lock()` will ensure that either interrupts are already
disabled or disable them. `unlock()` will reverse the respective operation.

From: Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>
`SpinLockIrq` and `SpinLock` use the exact same underlying C structure,
with the only real difference being that the former uses the irq_disable()
and irq_enable() variants for locking/unlocking. These variants can
introduce some minor overhead in contexts where we already know that
local processor interrupts are disabled, and as such we want a way to be
able to skip modifying processor interrupt state in said contexts in order
to avoid some overhead - just like the current C API allows us to do.
In order to do this, we add some special functions for SpinLockIrq:
lock_with() and try_lock_with(), which allow acquiring the lock without
changing the interrupt state - as long as the caller can provide a
LocalInterruptDisabled reference to prove that local processor interrupts
have been disabled.
In some hacked-together benchmarks we ran, most of the time this did
actually seem to lead to a noticeable difference in overhead:
From an aarch64 VM running on a MacBook M4:
lock() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 500 }
lock_with() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 292 }
lock() when irq is enabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 834 }
lock() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 459 }
lock_with() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 291 }
lock() when irq is enabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 709 }
From an x86_64 VM (qemu/kvm) running on a i7-13700H
lock() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 1002 }
lock_with() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 729 }
lock() when irq is enabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 1516 }
lock() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 754 }
lock_with() when irq is disabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 966 }
lock() when irq is enabled, 100 times cost Delta { nanos: 1227 }
(note that there were some runs on x86_64 where lock() on irq disabled
vs. lock_with() on irq disabled had equivalent benchmarks, but it very
much appeared to be a minority of test runs.
While it's not clear how this affects real-world workloads yet, let's add
this for the time being so we can find out.
This makes it so that a `SpinLockIrq` will work like a `SpinLock` if
interrupts are disabled. So a function:
(&'a SpinLockIrq, &'a InterruptDisabled) -> Guard<'a, .., SpinLockBackend>
makes sense. Note that due to `Guard` and `InterruptDisabled` having the
same lifetime, interrupts cannot be enabled while the Guard exists.

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
Implement a generic interface for memory barriers (full system/DMA/SMP).
The interface uses a parameter to force user to specify their intent
with barriers.
Provide `Read`, `Write`, `Full` orderings which map to the existing
`rmb()`, `wmb()` and `mb()`. Generic is used here instead of providing
individual standalone functions to reduce code duplication; for example,
the `CONFIG_SMP` check in `smp_mb` is uniformly implemented for all SMP
barriers. This could extend to `virt_mb`'s if they're introduced in the
future. It would also make it easier if new ordering types are
introduced in the future (e.g. `Acquire`, `Release`).

Kernel code should use LKMM atomics. The existing code is `AtomicBool`
with the need to use `xchg`, so convert it to `AtomicFlag`.
