locking: Introduce local_lock() preempt_disable() and local_irq_disable/save() are in principle per CPU big kernel locks. This has several downsides: - The protection scope is unknown - Violation of protection rules is hard to detect by instrumentation - For PREEMPT_RT such sections, unless in low level critical code, can violate the preemptability constraints. To address this PREEMPT_RT introduced the concept of local_locks which are strictly per CPU. The lock operations map to preempt_disable(), local_irq_disable/save() and the enabling counterparts on non RT enabled kernels. If lockdep is enabled local locks gain a lock map which tracks the usage context. This will catch cases where an area is protected by preempt_disable() but the access also happens from interrupt context. local locks have identified quite a few such issues over the years, the most recent example is: b7d5dc21072cd ("random: add a spinlock_t to struct batched_entropy") Aside of the lockdep coverage this also improves code readability as it precisely annotates the protection scope. PREEMPT_RT substitutes these local locks with 'sleeping' spinlocks to protect such sections while maintaining preemtability and CPU locality. local locks can replace: - preempt_enable()/disable() pairs - local_irq_disable/enable() pairs - local_irq_save/restore() pairs They are also used to replace code which implicitly disables preemption like: - get_cpu()/put_cpu() - get_cpu_var()/put_cpu_var() with PREEMPT_RT friendly constructs.
