Linus Torvalds 67da125e30 RCU pull request for v6.18
This pull request contains the following branches, non-octopus merged:
 
 Documentation updates:
 
   - Update whatisRCU.rst and checklist.rst for recent RCU API additions.
 
   - Fix RCU documentation formatting and typos.
 
   - Replace dead Ottawa Linux Symposium links in RTFP.txt.
 
 Miscellaneous RCU updates:
 
   - Document that rcu_barrier() hurries RCU_LAZY callbacks.
 
   - Remove redundant interrupt disabling from
     rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_handler().
 
   - Move list_for_each_rcu from list.h to rculist.h, and adjust the
     include directive in kernel/cgroup/dmem.c accordingly.
 
   - Make initial set of changes to accommodate upcoming system_percpu_wq
     changes.
 
 SRCU updates:
 
   - Create an srcu_read_lock_fast_notrace() for eventual use in tracing,
     including adding guards.
 
   - Document the reliance on per-CPU operations as implicit RCU readers
     in __srcu_read_{,un}lock_fast().
 
   - Document the srcu_flip() function's memory-barrier D's relationship
     to SRCU-fast readers.
 
   - Remove a redundant preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() pair from
     srcu_gp_start_if_needed().
 
 Torture-test updates:
 
   - Fix jitter.sh spin time so that it actually varies as advertised.
     It is still quite coarse-grained, but at least it does now vary.
 
   - Update torture.sh help text to include the not-so-new --do-normal
     parameter, which permits (for example) testing KCSAN kernels without
     doing non-debug kernels.
 
   - Fix a number of false-positive diagnostics that were being triggered
     by rcutorture starting before boot completed.  Running multiple
     near-CPU-bound rcutorture processes when there is only the boot CPU
     is after all a bit excessive.
 
   - Substitute kcalloc() for kzalloc().
 
   - Remove a redundant kfree() and NULL out kfree()ed objects.
