Merge tag 'locking-core-2026-02-08' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar: "Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking, using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features (Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited in distribution, admittedly)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back, if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )
Rust integration updates: (Alice Ryhl, Fujita Tomonori, Boqun Feng)
- Add support for Atomic<i8/i16/bool> and replace most Rust native AtomicBool usages with Atomic<bool>
- Clean up LockClassKey and improve its documentation
- Add missing Send and Sync trait implementation for SetOnce
- Make ARef Unpin as it is supposed to be
- Add __rust_helper to a few Rust helpers as a preparation for helper LTO
- Inline various lock related functions to avoid additional function calls
WW mutexes:
- Extend ww_mutex tests and other test-ww_mutex updates (John Stultz)
Misc fixes and cleanups:
- rcu: Mark lockdep_assert_rcu_helper() __always_inline (Arnd Bergmann)
- locking/local_lock: Include more missing headers (Peter Zijlstra)
- seqlock: fix scoped_seqlock_read kernel-doc (Randy Dunlap)
- rust: sync: Replace `kernel::c_str!` with C-Strings (Tamir Duberstein)"

rust: helpers: Add i8/i16 relaxed atomic helpers
Add READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE based helpers for i8 and i16 types to support relaxed atomic operations in Rust.
While relaxed operations could be implemented purely in Rust using read_volatile() and write_volatile(), using C's READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() macros ensures complete consistency with the kernel memory model.
These helpers expose different symbol names than their C counterparts so they are split into atomic_ext.c instead of atomic.c. The symbol names; the names make the interface Rust/C clear, consistent with i32/i64.

rust: helpers: Add i8/i16 atomic_read_acquire/atomic_set_release helpers
Add helper functions to expose smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() for i8 and i16 types.
The smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() macros require type information (sizeof) to generate appropriate architecture-specific memory ordering instructions. Therefore, separate helper functions are needed for each type size.
These helpers expose different symbol names than their C counterparts so they are split into atomic_ext.c instead of atomic.c. The symbol names; atomic_[i8|i16]_read_acquire and atomic_[i8|i16]_set_release makes the interface Rust/C clear, consistent with i32/i64.
These helpers will be used by the upcoming Atomic<i8> and Atomic<i16> implementation to provide proper Acquire/Release semantics across all architectures.
