RCU Tasks Trace:
Re-implement RCU tasks trace in term of SRCU-fast, not only more than 500 lines
of code are saved because of the reimplementation, a new set of API,
rcu_read_{,un}lock_tasks_trace(), becomes possible as well. Compared to the
previous rcu_read_{,un}lock_trace(), the new API avoid the task_struct accesses
thanks to the SRCU-fast semantics. As a result, the old
rcu_read{,un}lock_trace() API is now deprecated.
RCU Torture Test:
- Multiple improvements on kvm-series.sh (parallel run and progress showing
metrics)
- Add context checks to rcu_torture_timer().
- Make config2csv.sh properly handle comments in .boot files.
- Include commit discription in testid.txt.
Miscellaneous RCU changes:
- Reduce synchronize_rcu() latency by reporting GP kthread's CPU QS early.
- Use suitable gfp_flags for the init_srcu_struct_nodes().
- Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to softirq.
- Correctly compute probability to invoke ->exp_current() in rcutorture.
- Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings detect stall-end races.
RCU nocb:
- Remove unnecessary WakeOvfIsDeferred wake path and callback overload
handling.
- Extract nocb_defer_wakeup_cancel() helper.
