Pull RCU update from Paul McKenney: - Documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes - Callback-offloading updates, mainly simplifications - RCU-tasks updates, including some -rt fixups, handling of systems with sparse CPU numbering, and a fix for a boot-time race-condition failure - Put SRCU on a memory diet in order to reduce the size of the srcu_struct structure - Torture-test updates fixing some bugs in tests and closing some testing holes - Torture-test updates for the RCU tasks flavors, most notably ensuring that building rcutorture and friends does not change the RCU-tasks-related Kconfig options - Torture-test scripting updates - Expedited grace-period updates, most notably providing milliseconds-scale (not all that) soft real-time response from synchronize_rcu_expedited(). This is also the first time in almost 30 years of RCU that someone other than me has pushed for a reduction in the RCU CPU stall-warning timeout, in this case by more than three orders of magnitude from 21 seconds to 20 milliseconds. This tighter timeout applies only to expedited grace periods * tag 'rcu.2022.05.19a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: (80 commits) rcu: Move expedited grace period (GP) work to RT kthread_worker rcu: Introduce CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT srcu: Drop needless initialization of sdp in srcu_gp_start() srcu: Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU srcu: Add contention check to call_srcu() srcu_data ->lock acquisition srcu: Automatically determine size-transition strategy at boot rcutorture: Make torture.sh allow for --kasan rcutorture: Make torture.sh refscale and rcuscale specify Tasks Trace RCU rcutorture: Make kvm.sh allow more memory for --kasan runs torture: Save "make allmodconfig" .config file scftorture: Remove extraneous "scf" from per_version_boot_params rcutorture: Adjust scenarios' Kconfig options for CONFIG_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC torture: Enable CSD-lock stall reports for scftorture torture: Skip vmlinux check for kvm-again.sh runs scftorture: Adjust for TASKS_RCU Kconfig option being selected rcuscale: Allow rcuscale without RCU Tasks Rude/Trace rcuscale: Allow rcuscale without RCU Tasks refscale: Allow refscale without RCU Tasks Rude/Trace refscale: Allow refscale without RCU Tasks rcutorture: Allow specifying per-scenario stat_interval ...
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.
