This pull request contains the following branches, non-octopus merged:
Documentation updates:
- Update whatisRCU.rst and checklist.rst for recent RCU API additions.
- Fix RCU documentation formatting and typos.
- Replace dead Ottawa Linux Symposium links in RTFP.txt.
Miscellaneous RCU updates:
- Document that rcu_barrier() hurries RCU_LAZY callbacks.
- Remove redundant interrupt disabling from
rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler().
- Move list_for_each_rcu from list.h to rculist.h, and adjust the
include directive in kernel/cgroup/dmem.c accordingly.
- Make initial set of changes to accommodate upcoming system_percpu_wq
changes.
SRCU updates:
- Create an srcu_read_lock_fast_notrace() for eventual use in tracing,
including adding guards.
- Document the reliance on per-CPU operations as implicit RCU readers
in __srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast().
- Document the srcu_flip() function's memory-barrier D's relationship
to SRCU-fast readers.
- Remove a redundant preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() pair from
srcu_gp_start_if_needed().
Torture-test updates:
- Fix jitter.sh spin time so that it actually varies as advertised.
It is still quite coarse-grained, but at least it does now vary.
- Update torture.sh help text to include the not-so-new --do-normal
parameter, which permits (for example) testing KCSAN kernels without
doing non-debug kernels.
- Fix a number of false-positive diagnostics that were being triggered
by rcutorture starting before boot completed. Running multiple
near-CPU-bound rcutorture processes when there is only the boot CPU
is after all a bit excessive.
- Substitute kcalloc() for kzalloc().
- Remove a redundant kfree() and NULL out kfree()ed objects.
