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)"

Context Analysis is a language extension, which enables statically
checking that required contexts are active (or inactive) by acquiring
and releasing user-definable "context locks".
Clang's name of the feature is "Thread Safety Analysis". Requires
Clang 22 or later.
Produces warnings by default. Select CONFIG_WERROR if you wish to
turn these warnings into errors.
For more details, see Documentation/dev-tools/context-analysis.rst.

This builds the test for compiler-based context analysis. The test
does not add executable code to the kernel, but is meant to test that
common patterns supported by the analysis do not result in false
positive warnings.
When adding support for new context locks, it is strongly recommended
to add supported patterns to this test.
