Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:
- Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.
I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
window.
- Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.
Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.
- Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
kernels, fixed by Zqiang.
- Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.
- Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.
A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
they're asking for by being explicit:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/
- Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
comments.
- Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.
- Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.
Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.
- Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
module parameter, and more
- Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
