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)"

security/tomoyo: Enable context analysis

Enable context analysis for security/tomoyo.

This demonstrates a larger conversion to use Clang's context
analysis. The benefit is additional static checking of locking rules,
along with better documentation.

Tomoyo makes use of several synchronization primitives, yet its clear
design made it relatively straightforward to enable context analysis.

One notable finding was:

security/tomoyo/gc.c:664:20: error: reading variable 'write_buf' requires holding mutex '&tomoyo_io_buffer::io_sem'
664 | is_write = head->write_buf != NULL;

For which Tetsuo writes:

"Good catch. This should be data_race(), for tomoyo_write_control()
might concurrently update head->write_buf from non-NULL to non-NULL
with head->io_sem held."

Merge patch series "Zacas/Zabha support and qspinlocks"

Alexandre Ghiti <alexghiti@rivosinc.com> says:

This implements [cmp]xchgXX() macros using Zacas and Zabha extensions
and finally uses those newly introduced macros to add support for
qspinlocks: note that this implementation of qspinlocks satisfies the
forward progress guarantee.

It also uses Ziccrse to provide the qspinlock implementation.
