TINY_RCU's reset_cpu_stall_ticks() and check_cpu_stalls() functions
are defined unconditionally, and are empty functions if CONFIG_RCU_TRACE
is disabled (which in turns disables detection of RCU CPU stalls).
This commit saves a few lines of source code by defining these functions
only if CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y.

Now that TINY_PREEMPT_RCU is no more, exit_rcu() is always an empty
function. But if TINY_RCU is going to have an empty function, it should
be in include/linux/rcutiny.h, where it does not bloat the kernel.
This commit therefore moves exit_rcu() out of kernel/rcupdate.c to
kernel/rcutree_plugin.h, and places a static inline empty function in
include/linux/rcutiny.h in order to shrink TINY_RCU a bit.

TINY_PREEMPT_RCU adds significant code and complexity, but does not

can get much better memory footprint with TINY_RCU, or, if they really
need preemptible RCU, they can use TREE_PREEMPT_RCU with a relatively
minor degradation in memory footprint. Please note that this move

The current implementation can detect the beginning of a new grace period
before noting the end of a previous grace period. Although the current
implementation correctly handles this sort of nonsense, it would be
good to reduce RCU's state space by making such nonsense unnecessary,
which is now possible thanks to the fact that RCU's callback groups are
now numbered.
This commit therefore makes __note_new_gpnum() invoke
__rcu_process_gp_end() in order to note the ends of prior grace
periods before noting the beginnings of new grace periods.
Of course, this now means that note_new_gpnum() notes both the
beginnings and ends of grace periods, and could therefore be
used in place of rcu_process_gp_end(). But that is a job for
later commits.

__DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() currently creates an _rcuidle() tracepoint which
may safely be invoked from what RCU considers to be an idle CPU.
However, these _rcuidle() tracepoints may -not- be invoked from the
handler of an irq taken from idle, because rcu_idle_enter() zeroes
RCU's nesting-level counter, so that the rcu_irq_exit() returning to
idle will trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE().
This commit therefore substitutes rcu_irq_enter() for rcu_idle_exit()
and rcu_irq_exit() for rcu_idle_enter() in order to make the _rcuidle()
tracepoints usable from irq handlers as well as from process context.

possible that doesn't use rcu locking. Which luckily, is always used

that the branch trace wasn't converted for.
The forth patch fixes a bug caught by the RCU lockdep code where a
rcu_read_lock() is performed when rcu is disabled (either going to or
from idle, or user space). This happened on the irqsoff tracer as it
calls task_uid(). The fix here was to use current_uid() when possible
that doesn't use rcu locking. Which luckily, is always used when
irqsoff calls this code."
