Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] reduce latency of normal synchronize_rcu() v2

v1 is here https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231025140915.590390-1-urezki@gmail.com/T/

The delta v1 -> v2:
- rework a commit message;
- use non-ordered __llist* API for a wait list manipulation.

The aim of this series is to reduce a latency, make synchronize_rcu()
more generic, unify it. Because currently a behavior depends much on
RCU kconfig combinations, like, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU, CONFIG_RCU_LAZY.
For example we have a soft-irq/ksoftirqd context or a regular kthread. 

Uladzislau Rezki (Sony) (3):
  rcu: Reduce synchronize_rcu() latency
  rcu: Add a trace event for synchronize_rcu_normal()
  doc: Add rcutree.rcu_normal_wake_from_gp to kernel-parameters.txt
