Linus Torvalds 890f242084 RCU pull request for v6.1
This pull request contains the following branches:
 
 doc.2022.08.31b: Documentation updates.  This is the first in a series
 	from an ongoing review of the RCU documentation.  "Why are people
 	thinking -that- about RCU?  Oh.  Because that is an entirely
 	reasonable interpretation of its documentation."
 
 fixes.2022.08.31b: Miscellaneous fixes.
 
 kvfree.2022.08.31b: Improved memory allocation and heuristics.
 
 nocb.2022.09.01a: Improve rcu_nocbs diagnostic output.
 
 poll.2022.08.31b: Add full-sized polled RCU grace period state values.
 	These are the same size as an rcu_head structure, which is double
 	that of the traditional unsigned long state values that may still
 	be obtained from et_state_synchronize_rcu().  The added size
 	avoids missing overlapping grace periods.  This benefit is that
 	call_rcu() can be replaced by polling, which can be attractive
 	in situations where RCU-protected data is aged out of memory.
 
 	Early in the series, the size of this state value is three
 	unsigned longs.  Later in the series, the synchronize_rcu() and
 	synchronize_rcu_expedited() fastpaths are reworked to permit
 	the full state to be represented by only two unsigned longs.
 	This reworking slows these two functions down in SMP kernels
 	running either on single-CPU systems or on systems with all but
 	one CPU offlined, but this should not be a significant problem.
 	And if it somehow becomes a problem in some yet-as-unforeseen
 	situations, three-value state values can be provided for only
 	those situations.
 
 	Finally, a pair of functions named same_state_synchronize_rcu()
 	and same_state_synchronize_rcu_full() allow grace-period state
 	values to be compared for equality.  This permits users to
 	maintain lists of data structures having the same state value,
 	removing the need for per-data-structure grace-period state
 	values, thus decreasing memory footprint.
 
 poll-srcu.2022.08.31b: Polled SRCU grace-period updates, including
 	adding tests to rcutorture and reducing the incidence of Tiny
 	SRCU grace-period-state counter wrap.
 
 tasks.2022.08.31b: Improve Tasks RCU diagnostics and quiescent-state
 	detection.

Merge tag 'rcu.2022.09.30a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates.

   This is the first in a series from an ongoing review of the RCU
   documentation. "Why are people thinking -that- about RCU? Oh. Because
   that is an entirely reasonable interpretation of its documentation."

 - Miscellaneous fixes.

 - Improved memory allocation and heuristics.

 - Improve rcu_nocbs diagnostic output.

 - Add full-sized polled RCU grace period state values.

   These are the same size as an rcu_head structure, which is double
   that of the traditional unsigned long state values that may still be
   obtained from et_state_synchronize_rcu(). The added size avoids
   missing overlapping grace periods. This benefit is that call_rcu()
   can be replaced by polling, which can be attractive in situations
   where RCU-protected data is aged out of memory.

   Early in the series, the size of this state value is three unsigned
   longs. Later in the series, the fastpaths in synchronize_rcu() and
   synchronize_rcu_expedited() are reworked to permit the full state to
   be represented by only two unsigned longs. This reworking slows these
   two functions down in SMP kernels running either on single-CPU
   systems or on systems with all but one CPU offlined, but this should
   not be a significant problem. And if it somehow becomes a problem in
   some yet-as-unforeseen situations, three-value state values can be

   be compared for equality. This permits users to maintain lists of
   data structures having the same state value, removing the need for
   per-data-structure grace-period state values, thus decreasing memory
   footprint.

   rcutorture and reducing the incidence of Tiny SRCU grace-period-state
   counter wrap.

 - Improve Tasks RCU diagnostics and quiescent-state detection.

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.
