This pull request contains the following branches: doc.2022.06.21a: Documentation updates. fixes.2022.07.19a: Miscellaneous fixes. nocb.2022.07.19a: Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters. This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms. poll.2022.07.21a: Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace periods. rcu-tasks.2022.06.21a: Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead. torture.2022.06.21a: Torture-test updates. ctxt.2022.07.05a: Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track context independently of RCU. This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEbK7UrM+RBIrCoViJnr8S83LZ+4wFAmLgMcgTHHBhdWxtY2tA a2VybmVsLm9yZwAKCRCevxLzctn7jArXD/0fjbCwqpRjHVTzjMY8jN4zDkqZZD6m g8Fx27hZ4ToNFwRptyHwNezrNj14skjAJEXfdjaVw32W62ivXvf0HINvSzsTLCSq k2kWyBdXLc9CwY5p5W4smnpn5VoAScjg5PoPL59INoZ/Zziji323C7Zepl/1DYJt 0T6bPCQjo1ZQoDUCyVpSjDmAqxnderWG0MeJVt74GkLqmnYLANg0GH8c7mH4+9LL kVGlLp5nlPgNJ4FEoFdMwNU8T/ETmaVld/m2dkiawjkXjJzB2XKtBigU91DDmXz5 7DIdV4ABrxiy4kGNqtIe/jFgnKyVD7xiDpyfjd6KTeDr/rDS8u2ZH7+1iHsyz3g0 Np/tS3vcd0KR+gI/d0eXxPbgm5sKlCmKw/nU2eArpW/+4LmVXBUfHTG9Jg+LJmBc JrUh6aEdIZJZHgv/nOQBNig7GJW43IG50rjuJxAuzcxiZNEG5lUSS23ysaA9CPCL PxRWKSxIEfK3kdmvVO5IIbKTQmIBGWlcWMTcYictFSVfBgcCXpPAksGvqA5JiUkc egW+xLFo/7K+E158vSKsVqlWZcEeUbsNJ88QOlpqnRgH++I2Yv/LhK41XfJfpH+Y ALxVaDd+mAq6v+qSHNVq9wT3ozXIPy/zK1hDlMIqx40h2YvaEsH4je+521oSoN9r vX60+QNxvUBLwA== =vUNm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'rcu.2022.07.26a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney: - Documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

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.
