Linus Torvalds 7d9d077c78 RCU pull request for v5.20 (or whatever)
This pull request contains the following branches:
 
 doc.2022.06.21a: Documentation updates.
 
 fixes.2022.07.19a: Miscellaneous fixes.
 
 nocb.2022.07.19a: Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
 	RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to
 	be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
 	This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS
 	and Android.  In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel
 	boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering
 	with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms.
 
 poll.2022.07.21a: Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably
 	making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace
 	periods.
 
 rcu-tasks.2022.06.21a: Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing
 	the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than
 	a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks.	The reduction
 	is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems
 	reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might
 	see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead.
 
 torture.2022.06.21a: Torture-test updates.
 
 ctxt.2022.07.05a: Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into
 	context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to
 	kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution
 	for kernels that track context independently of RCU.  This is
 	expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
 	CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.

Merge tag 'rcu.2022.07.26a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y
