Sweep direct `use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex, RwLock, atomic::*}` imports
across the workspace to `concurrency::sync` so loom/shuttle test builds
can route through instrumented primitives via one feature flip.
Two enforcement layers:
* `clippy.toml` extends `disallowed-types` for the lock primitives.
parking_lot's lock types are distinct concrete types, so clippy
sees through the `concurrency::sync` re-export without flagging
legitimate uses.
* `.semgrep/rules/no-std-sync-direct.yaml` covers the rest (`Arc`,
`Weak`, atomics, `LazyLock`, `OnceLock`, `Once`, `Barrier`,
`Condvar`) where clippy's alias resolution can't distinguish the
facade re-export from `std::sync`. The `concurrency` crate and its
tests are exempt by path.
`mgmt/tests/reconcile.rs` keeps a direct `std::sync::Mutex` because
bolero's `catch_unwind` needs `RefUnwindSafe`, which parking_lot's
`Mutex` doesn't impl. Documented inline with `clippy::disallowed_types`
allow + `nosemgrep` annotation.

`std::thread::Builder::spawn_scoped` is inherent on std but missing on
the loom and shuttle Builders; both ship `Scope::spawn` instead. Add a
`concurrency::thread::BuilderExt` trait with one method:
* std: forwards to the inherent `Builder::spawn_scoped` via
fully-qualified call (Rust's method resolution prefers the
inherent, so the trait impl is dead but kept for symmetry).
* shuttle / loom: discards advisory Builder config, delegates to
`Scope::spawn`, wraps the infallible return in `Ok` to match
std's `io::Result` signature.
`use concurrency::thread::BuilderExt;` lets call sites write
`builder.spawn_scoped(scope, f)` under every backend. Used by the
kernel driver's named scoped threads in a follow-up.

Collapse the chained `shuttle_dfs -> shuttle_pct -> shuttle` features into a single `shuttle` feature backed by `shuttle::PortfolioRunner`. The runner drives `RandomScheduler` and `PctScheduler` in parallel; any scheduler finding a counterexample fails the test (`stop_on_first_failure = true`). `shuttle_dfs` becomes an additive opt-in that adds `DfsScheduler` to the same portfolio. `stress.rs` now has one shuttle arm instead of three, and `#[concurrency::test]` emits one leaf per backend (`loom` / `shuttle`) instead of three shuttle variants. Workspace consumers (`nat`, `flow-entry`) and CI (`dev.yml`) drop the `shuttle_pct` step; the existing `shuttle` step covers Random + PCT in one pass. Tests previously gated `not(feature = "shuttle_pct")` to opt out of single-threaded bodies that PCT panics on are rewritten to `not(feature = "shuttle")` since PCT now runs in every shuttle build.

Tier A of the std::thread sweep that complements the `concurrency::sync`
facade migration. Swap `use std::thread` to `use concurrency::thread`
in two test modules whose tests are candidates for
`#[concurrency::test]` conversion:
* `routing/src/fib/test.rs` -- prerequisite for the FIB race-test
conversion later in the stack.
* `dpdk/src/acl/mod.rs::classify_concurrent_arc_shared` -- import
swap only; the test runs under real DPDK EAL so the macro
conversion is deferred.
Production threading sites (`dpdk/src/lcore.rs`, `mgmt/src/processor/
launch.rs`, `routing/src/router/rio.rs`, `dataplane/src/statistics`,
`test-utils`) are left alone -- they need real OS threads and never
compile under loom/shuttle. A later sweep adds clippy/semgrep
enforcement once production sites are also routed.

Tier B of the std::thread sweep. `ThreadPortMap` keys a per-thread `RwLock<HashMap<ThreadId, _>>` by `std::thread::current().id()`. Each backend ships its own `ThreadId`, so a std-typed map would silently work in production while loom/shuttle key the table by their own thread identity. Route the import and call sites through `concurrency::thread` so the key tracks the active backend. No behavioural change under the default backend. Prerequisite for any future loom/shuttle exercise of the NAT allocator. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Noland <daniel@githedgehog.com>
Replace the hand-rolled `shuttle::check_random(... 100)` wrappers in `shuttle_tests` with `#[concurrency::test]`, which routes bodies through `concurrency::stress` (loom `model`, shuttle `PortfolioRunner`). The module is renamed `concurrency_tests` and gated to `cfg(any(feature = "shuttle", feature = "loom"))`. `FlowTable::insert` spawns a tokio task for the flow timer, which would panic without a running runtime; the existing `start_timer` bypass under shuttle is extended to loom. Tokio-driven coverage of `insert` stays in `std_tests`. `test_flow_table_timeout` is dropped from the model-checker mod: it's single-threaded (PCT rejects), and `std_tests` already has the authoritative `#[tokio::test(start_paused = true)]` version. Adds `loom = ["concurrency/loom"]` to `flow-entry/Cargo.toml` so the macro-emitted cfg arm resolves to a known feature.

Move `test_fib_removals` and `test_leftright_destroy_race_simple` out of the `#[concurrency_mode(std)]` block into a sibling `concurrency_tests` module that runs through `#[concurrency::test]`: default backend smoke run, `loom::model` under loom, shuttle's PortfolioRunner under shuttle. The heavy fuzz loops (`test_concurrency_fib` / `test_concurrency_fibtable`) stay on std -- their 100k+ packet iteration counts are TSAN-calibrated, not for per-iteration model-checking cost. Iteration counts are tuned per backend via `cfg_select!`: 5 rounds under loom/shuttle (vs 1000 on std), with a fixed reader/worker budget under the model checkers so unbounded poll loops don't trip shuttle's `max_steps` ceiling. `test_packet` is inlined because the original lives in the std-gated `mod tests` and is invisible under loom/shuttle. Add `loom`, `shuttle`, `shuttle_dfs` features to `routing/Cargo.toml` so the macro-emitted cfg arms resolve to known features.

Bump `concurrency::stress`'s shuttle `Config::stack_size` from the default 32 KiB to 4 MiB. Shuttle wraps each atomic/lock primitive with bookkeeping that pushes per-instance size into the 100-byte range (an `AtomicBool` is ~100 bytes under shuttle), so any non-trivial atomic-heavy body blows through the default. The historical workaround was per-call `shuttle::Config` overrides at 1 MiB (notably in NAT's allocator tests). One number in the dispatcher kills the per-test knob. 4 MiB carries the heaviest workspace consumer (NAT allocator's per-block atomic arrays) with headroom; the cost is `N workers * 4 MiB` per stress iteration, well below CI memory pressure. `shuttle::Config` is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so written as a mutation of `Config::default()`.

Now that `concurrency::stress` carries a 4 MiB shuttle stack and the
PortfolioRunner runs Random + PCT in parallel, the custom
`shuttle_config` / `run_shuttle_random` / `run_shuttle_pct`
scaffolding in `tests_shuttle` is redundant. Replace with a single
`mod concurrency_tests` that flips each test to `#[concurrency::test]`:
* `test_concurrent_allocations_two_ips` (was
`..._without_shuttle`) -- two threads against distinct source IPs;
smoke run on default backend, full coverage on
`--features shuttle`.
* `test_concurrent_allocations_three_workers` (was
`..._shuttle_random` + `_pct`, collapsed) -- portfolio runs both
schedulers in one invocation.
* `test_ensure_shuttle_works` -- gated to model-checker backends
only; the deliberate race only reaches the failing schedule under
a real scheduler, the default backend's one-shot run is
non-deterministic.
Drops the helpers plus the `Arc` / `thread` imports in `std_tests`
that they pulled in. Adds `loom = ["concurrency/loom"]` to
`nat/Cargo.toml` so the macro-emitted cfg arm resolves.

Make `just features=loom test` build and run end-to-end across the
workspace. Earlier commits had loom working only on the `concurrency`
crate; everything else failed to compile or crashed at runtime with
stack overflow, Arc leak, or DashMap destructor panics. Bundled into
one commit because each fix was discovered by running the previous
one.
## concurrency
* `fn sleep(_: Duration)` shim under loom (loom 0.7 doesn't model
time; yields to the scheduler so the call still acts as a
schedule point).
* Enumerate `loom::thread` re-exports and shadow `spawn` with a
4 MiB default stack. Loom 0.7's default coroutine stack is 4 KiB,
which overflows trivially under atomic-heavy `concurrency::sync`
types.
* `stress` under loom wraps the body in a 4 MiB
`Builder::spawn` so the main 4 KiB coroutine just spawns and
joins. Costs one of loom's five thread slots.
* `loom_scope::Scope::spawn` routes through `super::spawn` for the
same default.
* `Slot::load()` / `SlotOption::load()` helpers used by
`common::cliprovider` to drop a redundant `load_full()` clone.
## nat
* `cfg_attr`-gate `#![feature(arbitrary_self_types)]`: loom wraps
`Arc<T>` in a facade newtype that isn't a blessed self-receiver,
so `self: Arc<Self>` methods on `AllocatedIp` /
`AllocatedPortBlock` need the unstable feature there.
* `#[concurrency_mode(loom)]` no-op `shuffle_slice` (loom needs
determinism for replay; shuffle is allocation-order heuristic,
not correctness).
* Gate `concurrency_tests` off loom: the facade's `Weak` shim holds
a strong clone of the `Arc`, so the allocator's
`Weak::upgrade().is_none()` liveness signal never fires and
loom's `Arc leaked` assertion catches it.
## flow-entry
* Gate `concurrency_tests` to shuttle only: `FlowTable`'s internal
`DashMap` panics in loom's end-of-execution cleanup (sharded
`RwLock`s don't fit loom's strict lifecycle accounting).
## routing
* Gate `fib::test::concurrency_tests` off loom: the `left_right`
epoch state space is too large for exhaustive search to terminate
in reasonable time.
## dataplane
* The binary builds an `Arc<dyn Fn(...) ...>` trait-object closure
in `packet_processor::setup_internal`, which needs `CoerceUnsized`
on the concrete `Arc`. Loom 0.7's `Arc` doesn't carry that trait,
and the facade newtype can't add it. Gate the bin out of loom
builds: extract the body to `dataplane/src/runtime.rs` and leave
`main.rs` with a stub `main` under loom that panics if invoked.
Library crates still get loom coverage through feature
propagation.
* `dataplane/src/drivers/dpdk.rs` switches `use crate::CmdArgs` to
`use args::CmdArgs;` to follow the new module layout.
CI's loom step in `.github/workflows/dev.yml` still scopes to
`--package=dataplane-concurrency` because the loom-incompatible tests
across the workspace are now cfg-gated rather than package-filtered;
the package scope is no longer load-bearing for the test invocation,
only for cargo's feature unification.
Default and `--features shuttle` builds unaffected.

The import-only enforcement let `static X: std::sync::LazyLock<T> = std::sync::LazyLock::new(...)` slip through, and one such site already existed in `config/src/external/overlay/vpcpeering.rs`. Extend the rule with a multi-line regex backstop that matches the facade-managed type names in any expression position, with a leading-comment lookahead so rustdoc intra-doc links (`/// [std::sync::Arc]`) don't false-positive. Also expand the grouped-import regex to span multiple lines. Convert the offending FQN to `concurrency::sync::LazyLock`. Move the deliberate `mgmt/tests/reconcile.rs` `nosemgrep:` onto the same line as the `std::sync::Mutex::new` it suppresses, and annotate the intentional `std::sync::Arc` in `concurrency::stress` (shared *across* `loom::model` invocations, so it must remain a std Arc).

The previous loom step ran `just test concurrency` only, which left the workspace-wide loom compile (the whole point of the facade's local `Weak<T>` shim and `Arc::downgrade`) unprotected. Add a `cargo check`-equivalent step ahead of the test run so a regression in any consumer crate fails CI directly. Tests stay scoped to the concurrency crate -- model-checking the whole workspace under loom is intractable. Update the inline comment to reflect the new reality.

Add the plumbing that lets cargo execute cross-compiled tests under
qemu-user when the host architecture doesn't match the target:
* `scripts/test-runner.sh` -- thin wrapper. When `MIRI_SYSROOT` is
set we delegate to `.cargo-miri-wrapped` so a miri run on a
matching host arch still goes through the miri interpreter
instead of running natively under qemu. Otherwise: native exec
when target == host, else `qemu-${target_machine}`.
* `.cargo/config.toml` -- runner entries for the four cross triples
we ship (x86_64 / aarch64 × gnu / musl). Explicit triples (not
cfg-patterns) because cargo miri injects a `cfg(all())` runner
and refuses to disambiguate between two cfg-pattern matches; the
explicit form wins method-resolution-style and the script's
`MIRI_SYSROOT` branch handles the miri case from inside.
* `default.nix` -- `qemu-user` joins the dev shell so the wrapper
has `qemu-x86_64` / `qemu-aarch64` on PATH locally and in CI.
No CI behaviour change yet -- this just makes `cargo test --target
<cross-triple>` work via emulation when run by hand. The CI step
that actually exercises the path lands in the next commit.

Add a `test` step to the cross job that runs the full nextest suite
against the cross-compiled archive. Each cross binary dispatches
through `scripts/test-runner.sh` (registered as the cargo runner in
`.cargo/config.toml`) which delegates to `qemu-${target_machine}`
when the host architecture doesn't match.
Gates:
* Only runs on `pull_request` runs with `ci:+cross` or
`ci:+cross/full` on the labels. push / merge_group cross legs
stay build-only; ISA emulation pays a real wall-clock cost and
we don't want to slow the merge queue.
* Gated to `matrix.recipe.args == 'dataplane'` so the test pass
isn't duplicated for the `frr.dataplane` row, which differs from
the `dataplane` row only in the container recipe, not in the
cross target.
`ci:+cross` (today's "run the cross job at all" label) implies
"include the qemu test pass" -- there is currently no way to
schedule cross/full builds without a label, so the same gate
serves both modes. Splitting them out (e.g. opting bump.yml into
cross/full automatically) is a follow-up.

The test hard-codes `3` as a "non-multiple of `RESULTS_MULTIPLIER`" which assumes the multiplier is 4 (x86_64). Under cross-compiled aarch64 builds the wrapper's `RESULTS_MULTIPLIER` constant binds to 1 -- the validator's "not-a-multiple" branch becomes unreachable because every positive integer is trivially a multiple of 1, so the validator returns `Ok` and the test panics on the `matches!` assert. Upstream DPDK defines `RTE_ACL_RESULTS_MULTIPLIER` as `XMM_SIZE / sizeof(uint32_t)`, which should be 4 on every supported ISA. Either bindgen on the cross sysroot doesn't see the right `XMM_SIZE` typedef on aarch64 or the cross headers ship a divergent `rte_vect.h`; needs a follow-up investigation. Skip on aarch64 with a TODO so the rest of the cross-aarch64 test surface can run green under qemu-user. This is the only known target-specific divergence in the dpdk binding; the rest of the sweep passes cleanly under musl+qemu.

Introduce a single `emulated` cfg as the umbrella over both
emulation backends in the test surface:
* `miri.just`: append `--cfg=emulated` to `RUSTFLAGS` so miri
invocations set it.
* `nix/profiles.nix`: set `--cfg=emulated` whenever `for-tests` is
true and the target arch differs from the build host's
(`is-emulated-test`). Today this covers cross-arch test builds
that run under qemu-user on the lab runners. `--check-cfg=cfg
(emulated)` is set unconditionally so unused branches don't
trip `unexpected_cfgs`.
* `default.nix`: plumb the build host's arch
(`stdenv.hostPlatform.parsed.cpu.name`) through to
`profiles.nix` as `host-arch`, so `is-emulated-test` compares
target against actual host rather than hard-coded \`"x86_64"\`.
* `.cargo/config.toml`: same `--check-cfg=cfg(emulated)` for the
native dev build path.
Sweep existing `cfg_attr(miri, ignore)` / `cfg(miri)` / `cfg_select!
{ miri => N }` sites that apply equally to qemu-user:
* `routing/src/router/rio.rs`, `routing/src/frr/test.rs`,
`routing/src/atable/resolver.rs`, `cli/src/cliproto.rs`: tests
that bind Unix domain sockets / read kernel-state files now
skip under any emulation backend, not just miri. qemu-user's
epoll readiness emulation has the same gaps that justified the
original miri skips.
* `routing/src/fib/test.rs`, `net/src/packet/hash.rs`,
`flow-entry/src/flow_table/nf_lookup.rs`,
`left-right-tlcache/src/lib.rs`, `k8s-intf/src/bolero/support
.rs`, `config/src/utils/collapse.rs`: per-arm iteration counts
in `cfg_select!` are now keyed by `emulated` rather than `miri`.
qemu-user runs at ~5-10x slowdown vs native and the original
miri count (which targeted miri's much steeper slowdown) is
still a sensible upper bound for qemu-user too.
Pair this with two CI/runtime side changes:
* `.config/nextest.toml`: new `cross-qemu` nextest profile sets a
`slow-timeout = { period = "60s", terminate-after = 5 }` so a
qemu hang gets killed and surfaces as a TIMEOUT in the report
instead of wedging the whole run. `fail-fast` is permissive
so we collect the full list of qemu-affected tests in one go.
* `.github/workflows/dev.yml`: cross-job `test` step is
restricted to `matrix.libc == 'musl'` because gnu's libgcc_s
unwinder mis-handles qemu-user's emulated signal frames on
aarch64 (every panic-unwind path turns into SIGABRT). musl's
LLVM libunwind walks those frames correctly, so musl legs run
the full suite clean; gnu legs stay build-only until/unless we
fix the gnu unwinder story.
* `.gitignore`: ignore `**/qemu_*.core` so the SIGABRT cores
qemu drops when running gnu cross binaries locally don't show
up in `git status`.

Two halves of one logical change:
* `.github/workflows/dev.yml`: extend the cross job's `if:` to fire
on `ci:+cross/full` in addition to `ci:+cross`, so a PR labeled
only with `ci:+cross/full` (no `ci:+cross`) still gets cross.
* `.github/workflows/bump.yml`: auto-apply `ci:+cross/full` to the
weekly cargo-upgrades PR.
The weekly cargo-upgrades PR is the right place to catch cross-arch
regressions introduced by transitive dep churn (a crate dropping an
aarch64 target, changing alignment, etc.). Without an opt-in label
the cross job stays build-only on PR runs, so we add
\`ci:+cross/full\` alongside the existing \`automated\` and
\`dependencies\` labels. Today that label triggers the qemu-user
test step on the existing 4-leg cross matrix; once the matrix
scope split lands, the same label will expand the matrix to the
full hardware x libc sweep without further changes here.

Cross stays advisory (`continue-on-error: true`) on every PR, push,
and merge_group run, so leg flakes never block merge. That's the
right default for interactive PRs and the merge queue, but it makes
genuine cross failures easy to miss on the weekly cargo-bump PR
(auto-labeled `ci:+cross/full`), where catching upstream-driven
aarch64 regressions is the whole point.
Add a sticky-comment surfacing step:
* New composite action `.github/actions/sticky-pr-comment` --
create-or-update a PR comment keyed by an HTML-comment marker
(so subsequent runs find and update the same comment instead of
spamming the thread).
* New steps in the `summary` job that read the cross matrix's
real per-leg conclusions from the Actions REST API (via
`actions/github-script`) and, if any leg failed, post the
sticky comment with a link back to the failing run. The
summary job grows `pull-requests: write` (for the comment) and
`actions: read` (for the API call).
We can't gate on `needs.cross.result` here: at the job level,
`continue-on-error: true` makes that always report `success` to
dependents, which is exactly the property we want for merge
gating but which also hides the failure from this step. Reading
the underlying job results sidesteps the masking.
The alternative -- making cross blocking when `ci:+cross/full` is
present -- creates an attribution trap: a non-labeled PR that
silently regresses cross would land on main, and the next
cross/full-labeled bump PR would inherit the broken main and read
as "the bump caused the regression." A sticky comment gives
reviewers a loud in-PR signal without that misattribution risk and
preserves the "leg-flake doesn't block merge" property uniformly.
