<p>A critical section that works everywhere!</p>
<p>When writing software for embedded systems, its common to use a “critical section”
as a basic primitive to control concurrency. A critical section is essentially a
mutex global to the whole process, that can be acquired by only one thread at a time.
This can be used to protect data behind mutexes, to <a href="https://crates.io/crates/portable-atomic">emulate atomics</a> in
targets that dont support them, etc.</p>
<p>Theres a wide range of possible implementations depending on the execution environment:</p>
<ul>
<li>For bare-metal single core, disabling interrupts in the current (only) core.</li>
<li>For bare-metal multicore, disabling interrupts in the current core and acquiring a hardware spinlock to prevent other cores from entering a critical section concurrently.</li>
<li>For bare-metal using a RTOS, using library functions for acquiring a critical section, often named “scheduler lock” or “kernel lock”.</li>
<li>For bare-metal running in non-privileged mode, calling some system call is usually needed.</li>
<li>For <code>std</code> targets, acquiring a global <code>std::sync::Mutex</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Libraries often need to use critical sections, but theres no universal API for this in <code>core</code>. This leads
library authors to hard-code them for their target, or at best add some <code>cfg</code>s to support a few targets.
This doesnt scale since there are many targets out there, and in the general case its impossible to know
which critical section implementation is needed from the Rust target alone. For example, the <code>thumbv7em-none-eabi</code> target
could be cases 1-4 from the above list.</p>
<p>This crate solves the problem by providing this missing universal API.</p>
<ul>
<li>It provides functions <code>acquire</code>, <code>release</code> and <code>with</code> that libraries can directly use.</li>
<li>It provides a way for any crate to supply an implementation. This allows “target support” crates such as architecture crates (<code>cortex-m</code>, <code>riscv</code>), RTOS bindings, or HALs for multicore chips to supply the correct implementation so that all the crates in the dependency tree automatically use it.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="usage-in-no-std-binaries"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#usage-in-no-std-binaries">§</a>Usage in <code>no-std</code> binaries.</h3>
<p>First, add a dependency on a crate providing a critical section implementation. Enable the <code>critical-section-*</code> Cargo feature if required by the crate.</p>
<p>Implementations are typically provided by either architecture-support crates, HAL crates, and OS/RTOS bindings, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://crates.io/crates/cortex-m"><code>cortex-m</code></a> crate provides an implementation for all single-core Cortex-M microcontrollers via its <code>critical-section-single-core</code> feature</li>
<li>The <a href="https://crates.io/crates/riscv"><code>riscv</code></a> crate provides an implementation for all single-hart RISC-V microcontrollers via its <code>critical-section-single-hart</code> feature</li>
<li>The <a href="https://crates.io/crates/msp430"><code>msp430</code></a> crate provides an implementation for all MSP430 microcontrollers via its <code>critical-section-single-core</code> feature</li>
<li>The <a href="https://crates.io/crates/rp2040-hal"><code>rp2040-hal</code></a> crate provides a multi-core-safe critical section for the RP2040 microcontroller via its <code>critical-section-impl</code> feature</li>
<li>The <a href="https://crates.io/crates/avr-device"><code>avr-device</code></a> crate provides an implementation for all AVR microcontrollers via its <code>critical-section-impl</code> feature</li>
<li>The <a href="https://crates.io/crates/esp-hal-common"><code>esp-hal-common</code></a> crate provides an implementation for ESP32 microcontrollers which is used by the ESP HALs</li>
<li>The <a href="https://docs.embassy.dev/embassy-rp"><code>embassy-rp</code></a> crate provides a multi-core-safe critical section for the RP2040 microcontroller via its <code>critical-section-impl</code> feature</li>
<li>The <a href="https://docs.embassy.dev/nrf-softdevice"><code>nrf-softdevice</code></a> crate provides a critical section thats compatible with the nRF soft-device firmware via its <code>critical-section-impl</code> feature</li>
</ul>
<p>For example, for single-core Cortex-M targets, you can use:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-toml"><code>[dependencies]
cortex-m = { version = &quot;0.7.6&quot;, features = [&quot;critical-section-single-core&quot;]}
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then you can use <code>critical_section::with()</code>.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>core::cell::Cell;
<span class="kw">use </span>critical_section::Mutex;
<span class="kw">static </span>MY_VALUE: Mutex&lt;Cell&lt;u32&gt;&gt; = Mutex::new(Cell::new(<span class="number">0</span>));
critical_section::with(|cs| {
<span class="comment">// This code runs within a critical section.
// `cs` is a token that you can use to "prove" that to some API,
// for example to a `Mutex`:
</span>MY_VALUE.borrow(cs).set(<span class="number">42</span>);
});
</code></pre></div>
<h3 id="usage-in-std-binaries"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#usage-in-std-binaries">§</a>Usage in <code>std</code> binaries.</h3>
<p>Add the <code>critical-section</code> dependency to <code>Cargo.toml</code> enabling the <code>std</code> feature. This makes the <code>critical-section</code> crate itself
provide an implementation based on <code>std::sync::Mutex</code>, so you dont have to add any other dependency.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-toml"><code>[dependencies]
critical-section = { version = &quot;1.1&quot;, features = [&quot;std&quot;]}
</code></pre></div><h3 id="usage-in-libraries"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#usage-in-libraries">§</a>Usage in libraries</h3>
<p>If youre writing a library intended to be portable across many targets, simply add a dependency on <code>critical-section</code>
and use <code>critical_section::free</code> and/or <code>Mutex</code> as usual.</p>
<p><strong>Do not</strong> add any dependency supplying a critical section implementation. Do not enable any <code>critical-section-*</code> Cargo feature.
This has to be done by the end user, enabling the correct implementation for their target.</p>
<p><strong>Do not</strong> enable any Cargo feature in <code>critical-section</code>.</p>
<h3 id="usage-in-std-tests-for-no-std-libraries"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#usage-in-std-tests-for-no-std-libraries">§</a>Usage in <code>std</code> tests for <code>no-std</code> libraries.</h3>
<p>If you want to run <code>std</code>-using tests in otherwise <code>no-std</code> libraries, enable the <code>std</code> feature in <code>dev-dependencies</code> only.
This way the main target will use the <code>no-std</code> implementation chosen by the end-users binary, and only the test targets
will use the <code>std</code> implementation.</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-toml"><code>[dependencies]
critical-section = &quot;1.1&quot;
[dev-dependencies]
critical-section = { version = &quot;1.1&quot;, features = [&quot;std&quot;]}
</code></pre></div><h3 id="providing-an-implementation"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#providing-an-implementation">§</a>Providing an implementation</h3>
<p>Crates adding support for a particular architecture, chip or operating system should provide a critical section implementation.
It is <strong>strongly recommended</strong> to gate the implementation behind a feature, so the user can still use another implementation
if needed (having two implementations in the same binary will cause linking to fail).</p>
<p>Add the dependency, and a <code>critical-section-*</code> feature to your <code>Cargo.toml</code>:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-toml"><code>[features]
# Enable critical section implementation that does &quot;foo&quot;
critical-section-foo = [&quot;critical-section/restore-state-bool&quot;]
[dependencies]
critical-section = { version = &quot;1.0&quot;, optional = true }
</code></pre></div>
<p>Then, provide the critical implementation like this:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="comment">// This is a type alias for the enabled `restore-state-*` feature.
// For example, it is `bool` if you enable `restore-state-bool`.
</span><span class="kw">use </span>critical_section::RawRestoreState;
<span class="kw">struct </span>MyCriticalSection;
<span class="macro">critical_section::set_impl!</span>(MyCriticalSection);
<span class="kw">unsafe impl </span>critical_section::Impl <span class="kw">for </span>MyCriticalSection {
<span class="kw">unsafe fn </span>acquire() -&gt; RawRestoreState {
<span class="comment">// TODO
</span>}
<span class="kw">unsafe fn </span>release(token: RawRestoreState) {
<span class="comment">// TODO
</span>}
}</code></pre></div>
<h3 id="troubleshooting"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#troubleshooting">§</a>Troubleshooting</h3><h4 id="undefined-reference-errors"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#undefined-reference-errors">§</a>Undefined reference errors</h4>
<p>If you get an error like these:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-not_rust"><code>undefined reference to `_critical_section_1_0_acquire&#39;
undefined reference to `_critical_section_1_0_release&#39;
</code></pre></div>
<p>it is because you (or a library) are using <code>critical_section::with</code> without providing a critical section implementation.
Make sure youre depending on a crate providing the implementation, and have enabled the <code>critical-section-*</code> feature in it if required. See the <code>Usage</code> section above.</p>
<p>The error can also be caused by having the dependency but never <code>use</code>ing it. This can be fixed by adding a dummy <code>use</code>:</p>
<div class="example-wrap ignore"><a href="#" class="tooltip" title="This example is not tested"></a><pre class="rust rust-example-rendered"><code><span class="kw">use </span>the_cs_impl_crate <span class="kw">as _</span>;</code></pre></div>
<h4 id="duplicate-symbol-errors"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#duplicate-symbol-errors">§</a>Duplicate symbol errors</h4>
<p>If you get errors like these:</p>
<div class="example-wrap"><pre class="language-not_rust"><code>error: symbol `_critical_section_1_0_acquire` is already defined
</code></pre></div>
<p>it is because you have two crates trying to provide a critical section implementation. You can only
have one implementation in a program.</p>
<p>You can use <code>cargo tree --format '{p} {f}'</code> to view all dependencies and their enabled features. Make sure
that in the whole dependency tree, exactly one implementation is provided.</p>
<p>Check for multiple versions of the same crate as well. For example, check the <code>critical-section-single-core</code>
feature is not enabled for both <code>cortex-m</code> 0.7 and 0.8.</p>
<h3 id="why-not-generics"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#why-not-generics">§</a>Why not generics?</h3>
<p>An alternative solution would be to use a <code>CriticalSection</code> trait, and make all
code that needs acquiring the critical section generic over it. This has a few problems:</p>
<ul>
<li>It would require passing it as a generic param to a very big amount of code, which
would be quite unergonomic.</li>
<li>Its common to put <code>Mutex</code>es in <code>static</code> variables, and <code>static</code>s cant
be generic.</li>
<li>It would allow mixing different critical section implementations in the same program,
which would be unsound.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="minimum-supported-rust-version-msrv"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#minimum-supported-rust-version-msrv">§</a>Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)</h3>
<p>This crate is guaranteed to compile on the following Rust versions:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the <code>std</code> feature is not enabled: stable Rust 1.54 and up.</li>
<li>If the <code>std</code> feature is enabled: stable Rust 1.63 and up.</li>
</ul>
<p>It might compile with older versions but that may change in any new patch release.</p>
