Pull v4.20 RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:
- Documentation updates, including some good-eye catches from
Joel Fernandes.
- SRCU updates, most notably changes enabling call_srcu() to be
invoked very early in the boot sequence.
- Torture-test updates, including some preliminary work towards
making rcutorture better able to find problems that result in
insufficient grace-period forward progress.
- Consolidate the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors into
a single flavor similar to RCU-sched in !PREEMPT kernels and
into a single flavor similar to RCU-preempt (but also waiting
on preempt-disabled sequences of code) in PREEMPT kernels. This
branch also includes a refactoring of rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}()
from Byungchul Park.
- Now that there is only one RCU flavor in any given running kernel,
the many "rsp" pointers are no longer required, and this cleanup
series removes them.
- This branch carries out additional cleanups made possible by
the RCU flavor consolidation, including inlining how-trivial
functions, updating comments and definitions, and removing
now-unneeded rcutorture scenarios.
- Initial changes to RCU to better promote forward progress of
grace periods, including fixing a bug found by Marius Hillenbrand
and David Woodhouse, with the fix suggested by Peter Zijlstra.
- Now that there is only one flavor of RCU in any running kernel,
there is also only on rcu_data structure per CPU. This means
that the rcu_dynticks structure can be merged into the rcu_data
structure, a task taken on by this branch. This branch also
contains a -rt-related fix from Mike Galbraith.
