This introduces a module for dealing with interrupt-disabled contexts,
including the ability to enable and disable interrupts
(with_irqs_disabled()) - along with the ability to annotate functions as
expecting that IRQs are already disabled on the local CPU.

V2:
* Actually make it so that we check whether or not we have interrupts
  disabled with debug assertions
* Fix issues in the documentation (added suggestions, missing periods, made
  sure that all rustdoc examples compile properly)
* Pass IrqDisabled by value, not reference
* Ensure that IrqDisabled is !Send and !Sync using
  PhantomData<(&'a (), *mut ())>
* Add all of the suggested derives from Benno Lossin

V3:
* Use `impl` for FnOnce bounds in with_irqs_disabled()
* Use higher-ranked trait bounds for the lifetime of with_irqs_disabled()
* Wording changes in the documentation for the module itself

V4:
* Use the actual unsafe constructor for IrqDisabled in
  with_irqs_disabled()
* Fix comment style in with_irqs_disabled example
* Check before calling local_irq_restore() in with_irqs_disabled that
  interrupts are still disabled. It would have been nice to do this from a
  Drop implementation like I hoped, but I realized rust doesn't allow that
  for types that implement Copy.
* Document that interrupts can't be re-enabled within the `cb` provided to
  `with_irqs_disabled`, and link to the github issue I just filed about
  this that describes the solution for this.

V5:
* Rebase against rust-next for the helpers split
* Fix typo (enabled -> disabled) - Dirk

V6:
* s/indicate/require/ in IrqDisabled docs
* Reword comment above with_irqs_disabled in code example requested by
  Benno
* Add paragraph to with_irqs_disabled docs requested by Benno
* Apply the comments from Boqun's review for V4 that I missed
* Document type invariants of `IrqDisabled`

irq is a patently bad name for this as it might get confused or conflict
with actual interrupt related functions irq_.....

The C naming is not ideal either but it's all about the CPU local
interrupt enable/disable, while irq_*() is related to actual interrupt
handling and chips.

So can we please have some halfways sensible mapping to the C namings?

What's the point of the IrqDisabled::new() here? The above just disabled
them, no?

And here you open code the check which is in IrqDisabled::new()

So I'd rather see this as:

   token = unsafe { IrqDisabled::new() };
   let ret = cb(token);
   assert_valid(token);

I might misunderstand rust here, but the provided code does not make
sense to me.

Thanks,

I'm fine with renaming this, looking at the naming of the C functions perhaps
this would be preferrable?

TBH I kind of agree, the original version of this patch series didn't actually
call the constructor here and just created the token directly - but IMHO I'm
not sure how necessary it is when we can see the call for disabling right
above.

What do you suggest? `local_irq.rs`?

Yes, the above disabled them (the functions in `bindings` are exactly
the C functions [or helper functions, if the C function is static
inline]).

The point of `IrqDisabled` is that it is a token type signifying simply
by its existence that interrupts are disabled. The `new` function is a
way to create the token without touching the current interrupt status.

Lyude mentioned that she has a use case where C calls a Rust function
with IRQ already disabled and thus we need a way to create the token in
an unchecked manner.

The purpose of this check is to catch any dumb implementations of the
closure `cb` passed to the function. For example

    with_irqs_disabled(|irq| {
        let guard = spin_lock_irq.lock(irq); // lock a spinlock with IRQ disabled
        unsafe { enable_irq() };
        drop(guard); // unlock it with IRQ being enabled
    });

The debug assert would catch this error.


Of course we can move the debug assert into its own function taking the
token. I think it's a good idea.

Since I'm respinning this series now, I'll go with `local_irq.rs` for the
module name and leave us with `IrqDisabled` and `SpinLockIrq` for the time
being. Mainly because:

 * It maps closely to the actual C primitives (_irq, _irqsave, etc.)
 * It maps closely to SpinLockIrq

We could also do LocalIrqDisabled instead of IrqDisabled, but that's up to you
(I'm open to changing any of the other names too of course). Before making a
decision though, keep in mind that when/if we grow rust code relating to
actual IRQ chips someday - rust's namespacing is pretty helpful in preventing
confusion with name conflicts along with allowing for shorter names in
situations where conflicts aren't a concern. We already take advantage of that
with some of the kernel device bindings in rust, where we in areas like DRM we
may deal with both the kernel's core `kernel::device::Device` type (struct
device) and DRM's `kernel::drm::device::Device` type (struct drm_device).

(if you're curious about this, I recommend taking a quick look here:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/use-declarations.html

...maybe you already know these things about rust already, but I figured it
couldn't hurt to cover my bases just in case :)

Correct - in my case it's the vblank interrupt handling code in
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_vblank.c .

I'm fine with this - we could add a method to IrqDisabled itself to do an
assertion for this.

It could be worth mentioning that you probably won't be calling this
function directly if you need an IrqDisabled, linking to
with_irqs_disabled instead.

Either way this looks great!
