Linus Torvalds 067610ebaa RCU pull request for v6.12
This pull request contains the following branches:
 
 context_tracking.15.08.24a: Rename context tracking state related
         symbols and remove references to "dynticks" in various context
         tracking state variables and related helpers; force
         context_tracking_enabled_this_cpu() to be inlined to avoid
         leaving a noinstr section.
 
 csd.lock.15.08.24a: Enhance CSD-lock diagnostic reports; add an API
         to provide an indication of ongoing CSD-lock stall.
 
 nocb.09.09.24a: Update and simplify RCU nocb code to handle
         (de-)offloading of callbacks only for offline CPUs; fix RT
         throttling hrtimer being armed from offline CPU.
 
 rcutorture.14.08.24a: Remove redundant rcu_torture_ops get_gp_completed
         fields; add SRCU ->same_gp_state and ->get_comp_state
         functions; add generic test for NUM_ACTIVE_*RCU_POLL* for
         testing RCU and SRCU polled grace periods; add CFcommon.arch
         for arch-specific Kconfig options; print number of update types
         in rcu_torture_write_types();
         add rcutree.nohz_full_patience_delay testing to the TREE07
         scenario; add a stall_cpu_repeat module parameter to test
         repeated CPU stalls; add argument to limit number of CPUs a
         guest OS can use in torture.sh;
 
 rcustall.09.09.24a: Abbreviate RCU CPU stall warnings during CSD-lock
         stalls; Allow dump_cpu_task() to be called without disabling
         preemption; defer printing stall-warning backtrace when holding
         rcu_node lock.
 
 srcu.12.08.24a: Make SRCU gp seq wrap-around faster; add KCSAN checks
         for concurrent updates to ->srcu_n_exp_nodelay and
         ->reschedule_count which are used in heuristics governing
         auto-expediting of normal SRCU grace periods and
         grace-period-state-machine delays; mark idle SRCU-barrier
         callbacks to help identify stuck SRCU-barrier callback.
 
 rcu.tasks.14.08.24a: Remove RCU Tasks Rude asynchronous APIs as they
         are no longer used; stop testing RCU Tasks Rude asynchronous
         APIs; fix access to non-existent percpu regions; check
         processor-ID assumptions during chosen CPU calculation for
         callback enqueuing; update description of rtp->tasks_gp_seq
         grace-period sequence number; add rcu_barrier_cb_is_done()
         to identify whether a given rcu_barrier callback is stuck;
         mark idle Tasks-RCU-barrier callbacks; add
         *torture_stats_print() functions to print detailed
         diagnostics for Tasks-RCU variants; capture start time of
         rcu_barrier_tasks*() operation to help distinguish a hung
         barrier operation from a long series of barrier operations.
 
 rcu_scaling_tests.15.08.24a:
         refscale: Add a TINY scenario to support tests of Tiny RCU
         and Tiny SRCU; Optimize process_durations() operation;
 
         rcuscale: Dump stacks of stalled rcu_scale_writer() instances;
         dump grace-period statistics when rcu_scale_writer() stalls;
         mark idle RCU-barrier callbacks to identify stuck RCU-barrier
         callbacks; print detailed grace-period and barrier diagnostics
         on rcu_scale_writer() hangs for Tasks-RCU variants; warn if
         async module parameter is specified for RCU implementations
         that do not have async primitives such as RCU Tasks Rude;
         make all writer tasks report upon hang; tolerate repeated
         GFP_KERNEL failure in rcu_scale_writer(); use special allocator
         for rcu_scale_writer(); NULL out top-level pointers to heap
         memory to avoid double-free bugs on modprobe failures; maintain
         per-task instead of per-CPU callbacks count to avoid any issues
         with migration of either tasks or callbacks; constify struct
         ref_scale_ops.
 
 fixes.12.08.24a: Use system_unbound_wq for kfree_rcu work to avoid
         disturbing isolated CPUs.
 
 misc.11.08.24a: Warn on unexpected rcu_state.srs_done_tail state;
         Better define "atomic" for list_replace_rcu() and
         hlist_replace_rcu() routines; annotate struct
         kvfree_rcu_bulk_data with __counted_by().
