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 &amp; 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&lt;i8/i16/bool&gt; and replace most Rust native
      AtomicBool usages with Atomic&lt;bool&gt;

    - 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)

Convert lock initialization to scoped guarded initialization where
lock-guarded members are initialized in the same scope.

This ensures the context analysis treats the context as active during member
initialization. This is required to avoid errors once implicit context
assertion is removed.

Enable context analysis for crypto subsystem.

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

Note the use of the __acquire_ret macro how to define an API where a
function returns a pointer to an object (struct scomp_scratch) with a
lock held. Additionally, the analysis only resolves aliases where the
analysis unambiguously sees that a variable was not reassigned after
initialization, requiring minor code changes.

Remove request batching support from crypto_engine, as there are no
drivers using this feature and it doesn't really work that well.

Instead of doing batching based on backlog, a more optimal approach
would be for the user to handle the batching (similar to how IPsec
can hook into GSO to get 64K of data each time or how block encryption
can use unit sizes much greater than 4K).

kthread_create() creates a kthread without running it yet. kthread_run()
creates a kthread and runs it.

On the other hand, kthread_create_worker() creates a kthread worker and
runs it.

This difference in behaviours is confusing. Also there is no way to
create a kthread worker and affine it using kthread_bind_mask() or
kthread_affine_preferred() before starting it.

Consolidate the behaviours and introduce kthread_run_worker[_on_cpu]()
that behaves just like kthread_run(). kthread_create_worker[_on_cpu]()
will now only create a kthread worker without starting it.

All callers ignore the return value, so simplify by not providing one.

Note that crypto_engine_exit() is typically called in a device driver's
remove path (or the error path in probe), where errors cannot be handled
anyhow.
