2025-09-15rust: sync: atomic: Add the framework of arithmetic operationsBoqun Feng1-2/+92
One important set of atomic operations is the arithmetic operations, i.e. add(), sub(), fetch_add(), add_return(), etc. However it may not make senses for all the types that `AtomicType` to have arithmetic operations, for example a `Foo(u32)` may not have a reasonable add() or sub(), plus subword types (`u8` and `u16`) currently don't have atomic arithmetic operations even on C side and might not have them in the future in Rust (because they are usually suboptimal on a few architecures). Therefore the plan is to add a few subtraits of `AtomicType` describing which types have and can do atomic arithemtic operations. One trait `AtomicAdd` is added, and only add() and fetch_add() are added. The rest will be added in the future.

2025-09-15rust: sync: atomic: Add atomic {cmp,}xchg operationsBoqun Feng1-1/+167
xchg() and cmpxchg() are basic operations on atomic. Provide these based on C APIs. Note that cmpxchg() use the similar function signature as compare_exchange() in Rust std: returning a `Result`, `Ok(old)` means the operation succeeds and `Err(old)` means the operation fails.

2025-09-15rust: sync: atomic: Add generic atomicsBoqun Feng1-0/+271
To provide using LKMM atomics for Rust code, a generic `Atomic<T>` is added, currently `T` needs to be Send + Copy because these are the straightforward usages and all basic types support this. Implement `AtomicType` for `i32` and `i64`, and so far only basic operations load() and store() are introduced.

2025-09-15rust: sync: atomic: Add ordering annotation typesBoqun Feng1-0/+2
Preparation for atomic primitives. Instead of a suffix like _acquire, a method parameter along with the corresponding generic parameter will be used to specify the ordering of an atomic operations. For example, atomic load() can be defined as: impl<T: ...> Atomic<T> { pub fn load<O: AcquireOrRelaxed>(&self, _o: O) -> T { ... } } and acquire users would do: let r = x.load(Acquire); relaxed users: let r = x.load(Relaxed); doing the following: let r = x.load(Release); will cause a compiler error. Compared to suffixes, it's easier to tell what ordering variants an operation has, and it also make it easier to unify the implementation of all ordering variants in one method via generic. The `TYPE` associate const is for generic function to pick up the particular implementation specified by an ordering annotation.

2025-09-15rust: sync: Add basic atomic operation mapping frameworkBoqun Feng1-0/+22
Preparation for generic atomic implementation. To unify the implementation of a generic method over `i32` and `i64`, the C side atomic methods need to be grouped so that in a generic method, they can be referred as <type>::<method>, otherwise their parameters and return value are different between `i32` and `i64`, which would require using `transmute()` to unify the type into a `T`. Introduce `AtomicImpl` to represent a basic type in Rust that has the direct mapping to an atomic implementation from C. Use a sealed trait to restrict `AtomicImpl` to only support `i32` and `i64` for now. Further, different methods are put into different `*Ops` trait groups, and this is for the future when smaller types like `i8`/`i16` are supported but only with a limited set of API (e.g. only set(), load(), xchg() and cmpxchg(), no add() or sub() etc). While the atomic mod is introduced, documentation is also added for memory models and data races. Also bump my role to the maintainer of ATOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE to reflect my responsibility on the Rust atomic mod.
