Merge tag 'rust-i2c-for-7.3' into i2c/i2cgrafted
i2c: rust: mark I2cAdapter methods as inline A single cleanup for the Rust I2C abstractions, targeting 7.3. `I2cAdapter::get`, `inc_ref`, and `dec_ref` are trivial wrappers around `i2c_get_adapter`/`i2c_put_adapter` and were showing up as their own symbols in the build. Mark them `#[inline]` so they get folded into their callers instead. Signed-off-by: Igor Korotin <igor.korotin@linux.dev> * tag 'rust-i2c-for-7.3': i2c: rust: mark I2cAdapter methods as inline

+# Feature name: membarrier-sync-core
+# Kconfig: ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE
+# description: arch supports core serializing membarrier
+#
+# Architecture requirements
+#
+# * arm/arm64/powerpc/s390
+#
+# Rely on implicit context synchronization as a result of exception return
+# when returning from IPI handler, and when returning to user-space.
+#
+# * riscv
+#
+# riscv uses xRET as return from interrupt and to return to user-space.
+#
+# Given that xRET is not core serializing, we rely on FENCE.I for providing
+# core serialization:
+#
+# - by calling sync_core_before_usermode() on return from interrupt (cf.
+# ipi_sync_core()),
+#
+# - via switch_mm() and sync_core_before_usermode() (respectively, for
+# uthread->uthread and kthread->uthread transitions) before returning
+# to user-space.
+#
+# The serialization in switch_mm() is activated by prepare_sync_core_cmd().
+#
+# * x86
+#
+# x86-32 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
+# However, it uses both IRET and SYSEXIT to go back to user-space. The IRET
+# instruction is core serializing, but not SYSEXIT.
+#
+# x86-64 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
+# However, it can return to user-space through either SYSRETL (compat code),
+# SYSRETQ, or IRET.
+#
+# Given that neither SYSRET{L,Q}, nor SYSEXIT, are core serializing, we rely
+# instead on write_cr3() performed by switch_mm() to provide core serialization
+# after changing the current mm, and deal with the special case of kthread ->
+# uthread (temporarily keeping current mm into active_mm) by issuing a
+# sync_core_before_usermode() in that specific case.
