Merge tag 'rcu.release.v7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux
Pull RCU updates from Boqun Feng:
- RCU Tasks Trace:
Re-implement RCU tasks trace in term of SRCU-fast, not only more than
500 lines of code are saved because of the reimplementation, a new
set of API, rcu_read_{,un}lock_tasks_trace(), becomes possible as
well. Compared to the previous rcu_read_{,un}lock_trace(), the new
API avoid the task_struct accesses thanks to the SRCU-fast semantics.
As a result, the old rcu_read{,un}lock_trace() API is now deprecated.
- RCU Torture Test:
- Multiple improvements on kvm-series.sh (parallel run and
progress showing metrics)
- Add context checks to rcu_torture_timer()
- Make config2csv.sh properly handle comments in .boot files
- Include commit discription in testid.txt
- Miscellaneous RCU changes:
- Reduce synchronize_rcu() latency by reporting GP kthread's
CPU QS early
- Use suitable gfp_flags for the init_srcu_struct_nodes()
- Fix rcu_read_unlock() deadloop due to softirq
- Correctly compute probability to invoke ->exp_current()
in rcutorture
- Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings detect stall-end races
- RCU nocb:
- Remove unnecessary WakeOvfIsDeferred wake path and callback
overload handling
- Extract nocb_defer_wakeup_cancel() helper
