Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney: - Fix idle detection (Neeraj Upadhyay) and missing access marking detected by KCSAN. - Reduce coupling between rcu_barrier() and CPU-hotplug operations, so that rcu_barrier() no longer needs to do cpus_read_lock(). This may also someday allow system boot to bring CPUs online concurrently. - Enable more aggressive movement to per-CPU queueing when reacting to excessive lock contention due to workloads placing heavy update-side stress on RCU tasks. - Improvements to RCU priority boosting, including changes from Neeraj Upadhyay, Zqiang, and Alison Chaiken. - Various fixes improving test robustness and debug information. - Add tests for SRCU size transitions, further compress torture.sh build products, and improve debug output. - Miscellaneous fixes. * tag 'rcu.2022.03.13a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: (49 commits) rcu: Replace cpumask_weight with cpumask_empty where appropriate rcu: Remove __read_mostly annotations from rcu_scheduler_active externs rcu: Uninline multi-use function: finish_rcuwait() rcu: Mark writes to the rcu_segcblist structure's ->flags field kasan: Record work creation stack trace with interrupts enabled rcu: Inline __call_rcu() into call_rcu() rcu: Add mutex for rcu boost kthread spawning and affinity setting rcu: Fix description of kvfree_rcu() MAINTAINERS: Add Frederic and Neeraj to their RCU files rcutorture: Provide non-power-of-two Tasks RCU scenarios rcutorture: Test SRCU size transitions torture: Make torture.sh help message match reality rcu-tasks: Set ->percpu_enqueue_shift to zero upon contention rcu-tasks: Use order_base_2() instead of ilog2() rcu: Create and use an rcu_rdp_cpu_online() rcu: Make rcu_barrier() no longer block CPU-hotplug operations rcu: Rework rcu_barrier() and callback-migration logic rcu: Refactor rcu_barrier() empty-list handling rcu: Kill rnp->ofl_seq and use only rcu_state.ofl_lock for exclusion torture: Change KVM environment variable to RCUTORTURE ...
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.
