All architectures have an interruptible RCU extended quiescent state (EQS) as part of their idle sequences, where interrupts can occur without RCU watching. Entry code must account for this and wake RCU as necessary; the common entry code deals with this in irqentry_enter() by treating any interrupt from an idle thread as potentially having occurred within an EQS and waking RCU for the duration of the interrupt via rcu_irq_enter() .. rcu_irq_exit(). Some architectures may have other interruptible EQSs which require similar treatment. For example, on s390 it is necessary to enable interrupts around guest entry in the middle of a period where core KVM code has entered an EQS. So that architectures can wake RCU in these cases, this patch adds a new arch_in_rcu_eqs() hook to the common entry code which is checked in addition to the existing is_idle_thread() check, with RCU woken if either returns true. A default implementation is provided which always returns false, which suffices for most architectures. As no architectures currently implement arch_in_rcu_eqs(), there should be no functional change as a result of this patch alone. A subsequent patch will add an s390 implementation to fix a latent bug with missing RCU wakeups.

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 reStructuredText 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.
