This patchset makes RCU more aggressive about entering dyntick-idle mode in order to improve energy efficiency, converts a few more call_rcu()s to kfree_rcu(), applies a number of rcutree fixes and cleanups to rcutiny, removes CONFIG_SMP #ifdef from treercu, allows RCU CPU stall times to be set via sysfs, add CPU-stall capability to rcutorture, adds more RCU-abuse diagnostics, updates documentation, and yet more fixes from the still-ongoing top-to-bottom inspection of RCU with a special focus on the CPU-hotplug code path. The patches are as follows: 1,26,41,40. Documentation upgrades. 2. Improve synchronize_rcu() diagnostics, courtesy of Frederic Weisbecker. 3. Add lockdep-RCU checks for simple self deadlock, such as calling synchronize_rcu() while in an RCU read-side critical section. 4. Add a diagnostic for misaligned rcu_head structures. This is preparation for a call_rcu_lazy() for added energy efficiency. 5,14,36. Upgrades to CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ. 6. Move CONFIG_RCU_TRACE to lib/Kconfig.debug: not for production use. 7-11. Convert several call_rcu() primitives to kfree_rcu(). 12,13,15,16,37-39. Fixes to and streamlining of CPU-hotplug handling based on review. 17. Remove dubious single-rcu_node optimization from rcu_start_gp(). 18-22. Apply prior rcutree fixes to rcutiny. 23. Catch rcu_preempt_needs_cpu()'s name up with 2011. 24. Check for idle-loop entry while in an RCU read-side critical section. 25. Check for sleeping in TREE_RCU read-side critical sections. 27,35. Remove "#ifdef CONFIG_SMP" from treercu, move code accordingly. 28. Allow RCU CPU stall times to be adjusted at runtime via sysfs. 29. Print scheduling-clock timer information on RCU CPU stall warning messages if requested by CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_INFO config parameter. 30. Allow rcutorture to be told to hold off CPU-hotplug operations during early boot. 31. Allow rcutorture to generate CPU stalls in order to test RCU CPU stall warning facility. 33. Silence module-parameter warnings by converting a couple of rcutorture's module parameters to bool. 34. Check for illegal use of RCU from offlined CPUs. 41. Fix misplaced NULL-pointer check in rcutorture.
