Merge tag 'rcu.2023.02.10a' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:

      - Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
        that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number of
        callbacks

      - Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
        diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
        initialized

      - Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
        that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
        stall warnings have done this for many years)

      - Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
        resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled, so
        this should not (yet) affect production use cases)

 - Make kfree_rcu() and friends take advantage of polled grace periods,
   thus reducing memory footprint by almost two orders of magnitude,
   admittedly on a microbenchmark

   This also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
   kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs where
   kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the intended
   kfree_rcu(p, rh)

 - SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that causes SRCU to
   fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot CPU. This
   surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels on the
   powerpc architecture

   This also adds an srcu_down_read() and srcu_up_read(), which act like
   srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side
   critical section to be handed off from one task to another

 - Clean up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option

   There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled into
   maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for a later
   merge window

 - RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:

      - A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
        RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
        very real hang

      - A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
        system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can
        result in a too-short grace period

      - A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback
        list and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where
        that queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This
        can result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU

 - Torture-test updates and fixes

 - Torture-test scripting updates and fixes

 - Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information in kernels built
   with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and restore the full five-minute
   timeout limit for expedited RCU CPU stall warnings
