Linus Torvalds af96134dc8 RCU pull request for v6.5
This pull contains the following branches:
 
 doc.2023.05.10a: Documentation updates
 
 fixes.2023.05.11a: Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
 
 o	Remove RCU_NONIDLE().  The new visibility of most of the idle
 	loop to RCU has obsoleted this API.
 
 o	Make the RCU_SOFTIRQ callback-invocation time limit also apply
 	to the rcuc kthreads that invoke callbacks for CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
 
 o	Add a jiffies-based callback-invocation time limit to handle
 	long-running callbacks.  (The local_clock() function is only
 	invoked once per 32 callbacks due to its high overhead.)
 
 o	Stop rcu_tasks_invoke_cbs() from using never-onlined CPUs,
 	which fixes a bug that can occur on systems with non-contiguous
 	CPU numbering.
 
 kvfree.2023.05.10a: kvfree_rcu updates
 
 o	Eliminate the single-argument variant of k[v]free_rcu() now
 	that all uses have been converted to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep().
 
 o	Add WARN_ON_ONCE() checks for k[v]free_rcu*() freeing callbacks
 	too soon.  Yes, this is closing the barn door after the horse
 	has escaped, but Murphy says that there will be more horses.
 
 nocb.2023.05.11a: Callback-offloading updates
 
 o	Fix a number of bugs involving the shrinker and lazy callbacks.

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.
