Merge tag 'rcu.release.v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux
Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
"SRCU:
- Introduction of the new SRCU-lite flavour with a new pair of
srcu_read_[un]lock_lite() APIs. In practice the read side using
this flavour becomes lighter by removing a full memory barrier on
LOCK and a full memory barrier on UNLOCK. This comes at the expense
of a higher latency write side with two (in the best case of a
snaphot of unused read-sides) or more RCU grace periods on the
update side which now assumes by itself the whole full ordering
guarantee against the LOCK/UNLOCK counters on both indexes, along
with the accesses performed inside.
Uretprobes is a known potential user.
Note this doesn't replace the default normal flavour of SRCU which
still behaves the same as usual.
- Add testing of SRCU-lite through rcutorture and rcuscale
- Various cleanups on the way.
Fixes:
- Allow short-circuiting RCU-TASKS-RUDE grace periods on
architectures that have sane noinstr boundaries forbidding tracing
on low-level idle and kernel entry code. RCU-TASKS is enough on
such configurations because it involves an RCU grace period that
waits for all idle tasks to either schedule out voluntarily or
enter into RCU unwatched noinstr code.
- Allow and test start_poll_synchronize_rcu() with IRQs disabled.
- Mention rcuog kthreads in relevant documentation and Kconfig help
- Various fixes and consolidations
rcutorture:
- Add --no-affinity on tools to leave the affinity setting of guests
up to the user.
- Add guest_os_delay parameter to rcuscale for better warm-up
control.
- Fix and improve some rcuscale error handling.
- Various cleanups and fixes
stall:
- Remove dead code
- Stop dumping tasks if a stalled grace period eventually ended
midway as that only produces confusing output.
- Optimize detection of stalling CPUs and avoid useless node locking
otherwise.
NOCB:
- Fix rcu_barrier() hang due to a race against callbacks
deoffloading. This is not yet used, except by rcutorture, and waits
for its promised cpusets interface.
- Remove leftover function declaration"
