Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] rcu, arm64: PREEMPT_RT fixlets

Hi folks,

this is v2 of:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210721115118.729943-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com/

respun from Frederic and Paul's helpful feedback. Tested atop v5.14-rc4-rt6 with
the v1 patches reverted. There, commit 

  d76e0926d835 ("rcu/nocb: Use the rcuog CPU's ->nocb_timer")

prevents the NOCB offload warning from firing if there are no NOCB CPUs (which
is sensible). Adding a single NOCB CPU brings the warning back, which patch 3
fixes.

Note that patches 2 & 4 are already in v5.14-rc4-rt6, but still apply against
mainline.

Revisions
=========

v1 -> v2
++++++++

o Rebased and tested against v5.14-rc4-rt6
o Picked rcutorture patch from
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210803225437.3612591-2-valentin.schneider@arm.com/
o Added a local_lock to protect NOCB offload state under PREEMPT_RT (Frederic,
  Paul)

Valentin Schneider (4):
  rcutorture: Don't disable softirqs with preemption disabled when
    PREEMPT_RT
  sched: Introduce is_pcpu_safe()
  rcu/nocb: Protect NOCB state via local_lock() under PREEMPT_RT
  arm64: mm: Make arch_faults_on_old_pte() check for migratability
