Hi Peter,

This is a follow-up for Lyude's work [1]. After learning the current
preempt_count() usage and how ARM64 handle this, I came up with this
series that could resolve your feedback [2]. The basic idea is based on:

1) preempt_count() previously already masks our NEED_RESCHED bit, so the
   effective bits is 31bits
2) with a 64bit preempt count implementation (as in your PREEMPT_LONG
   proposal), the effective bits that record "whether we CAN preempt or
   not" still fit in 32bit (i.e. an int)

as a result, I don't think we need to change the existing
preempt_count() API, but rather keep "32bit vs 64bit" as an
implementation detail. This saves us the need to change the printk code
for preempt_count().

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20260508042111.243...

Changes since v1:

* Rename PREEMPT_COUNT_64BIT to HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS per
  Mark Rutland.
* Add s390's support for HAS_SEPARATE_PREEMPT_RESCHED_BITS for Heiko
  Carstens, thank you!
* Reorder patch #1 and #2 per Steven Rostedt.
* Keep the NMI count warning per Steven Rostedt and Joel Fernandes.
* Fix an race between interrupt disabling and softirq reported by
  sashiko (see the changes in __irq_exit_rcu()).
* Add Context Analysis annotations for the newly introduced API.
* Sync the preempt bits changes to BPF tests.

I would like to target this changes for 7.2 if possible.
