mainlining shenanigans
618758ed3a
Add comments and memory barrier to kthread_use_mm and kthread_unuse_mm to allow the effect of membarrier(2) to apply to kthreads accessing user-space memory as well. Given that no prior kthread use this guarantee and that it only affects kthreads, adding this guarantee does not affect user-space ABI. Refine the check in membarrier_global_expedited to exclude runqueues running the idle thread rather than all kthreads from the IPI cpumask. Now that membarrier_global_expedited can IPI kthreads, the scheduler also needs to update the runqueue's membarrier_state when entering lazy TLB state.

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.
