Subject: rust: sync: atomic: Add atomic bool support via i8 representation
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=06bd0e52bfd78eae1c7dd5db163ce64161b495e7;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

rust: sync: atomic: Add atomic bool support via i8 representation

Add `bool` support, `Atomic<bool>` by using `i8` as its underlying
representation.

Rust specifies that `bool` has size 1 and alignment 1 [1], so it
matches `i8` on layout; keep `static_assert!()` checks to enforce this
assumption at build time.
