Pull RCU updates from Boqun Feng:
 "Documentation:
   - Add broken-timing possibility to stallwarn.rst
   - Improve discussion of this_cpu_ptr(), add raw_cpu_ptr()
   - Document self-propagating callbacks
   - Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering
   - Add CONFIG_RCU_LAZY delays to call_rcu() kernel-doc header
   - Clarify RCU_LAZY and RCU_LAZY_DEFAULT_OFF help text
   - Remove references to old grace-period-wait primitives

  srcu:
   - Introduce srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast(), which is similar to
     srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite(): avoid smp_mb()s in lock and unlock
     at the cost of calling synchronize_rcu() in synchronize_srcu()

     Moreover, by returning the percpu offset of the counter at
     srcu_read_lock_fast() time, srcu_read_unlock_fast() can avoid
     extra pointer dereferencing, which makes it faster than
     srcu_read_{un,}lock_lite()

     srcu_read_{un,}lock_fast() are intended to replace
     rcu_read_{un,}lock_trace() if possible

  RCU torture:
   - Add get_torture_init_jiffies() to return the start time of the test
   - Add a test_boost_holdoff module parameter to allow delaying
     boosting tests when building rcutorture as built-in
   - Add grace period sequence number logging at the beginning and end
     of failure/close-call results
   - Switch to hexadecimal for the expedited grace period sequence
     number in the rcu_exp_grace_period trace point
   - Make cur_ops-&gt;format_gp_seqs take buffer length
   - Move RCU_TORTURE_TEST_{CHK_RDR_STATE,LOG_CPU} to bool
   - Complain when invalid SRCU reader_flavor is specified
   - Add FORCE_NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE Kconfig for testing, which forces SRCU
     uses atomics even when percpu ops are NMI safe, and use the Kconfig
     for SRCU lockdep testing

  Misc:
   - Split rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() mask parameter and use for tracing
   - Remove READ_ONCE() for rdp-&gt;gpwrap access in __note_gp_changes()
   - Fix get_state_synchronize_rcu_full() GP-start detection
   - Move RCU Tasks self-tests to core_initcall()
   - Print segment lengths in show_rcu_nocb_gp_state()
   - Make RCU watch ct_kernel_exit_state() warning
   - Flush console log from kernel_power_off()
   - rcutorture: Allow a negative value for nfakewriters
   - rcu: Update TREE05.boot to test normal synchronize_rcu()
   - rcu: Use _full() API to debug synchronize_rcu()

  Make RCU handle PREEMPT_LAZY better:
   - Fix header guard for rcu_all_qs()
   - rcu: Rename PREEMPT_AUTO to PREEMPT_LAZY
   - Update __cond_resched comment about RCU quiescent states
   - Handle unstable rdp in rcu_read_unlock_strict()
   - Handle quiescent states for PREEMPT_RCU=n, PREEMPT_COUNT=y
   - osnoise: Provide quiescent states
   - Adjust rcutorture with possible PREEMPT_RCU=n &amp;&amp; PREEMPT_COUNT=y
     combination
   - Limit PREEMPT_RCU configurations
   - Make rcutorture senario TREE07 and senario TREE10 use
     PREEMPT_LAZY=y"

This commit reformats the expedited grace-period numbers into hexadecimal
for easier decoding and comparison.  The normal grace-period numbers
remain in decimal for the time being.

<content type='text'>
Tree RCU does not handle kvfree_rcu() by queueing individual objects by
call_rcu() anymore, thus the tracepoint and associated
__is_kvfree_rcu_offset() check is dead code now. Remove it.

<content type='text'>
The "rcu_dyntick" naming convention has been turned into "rcu_watching" for
all helpers now, align the trace event to that.

To add to the confusion, the strings passed to the trace event are now
reversed: when RCU "starts" the dyntick / EQS state, it "stops" watching.

<content type='text'>
Add an rcu_sr_normal() trace event. It takes three arguments
first one is the name of RCU flavour, second one is a user id
which triggeres synchronize_rcu_normal() and last one is an
event.

There are two traces in the synchronize_rcu_normal(). On entry,
when a new request is registered and on exit point when request
is completed.

Please note, CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y is required to activate traces.

Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:

 - Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
   the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.

   I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
   will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
   window.

 - Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
   cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.

   Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
   the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.

 - Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
   kernels, fixed by Zqiang.

 - Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.

 - Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
   increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
   drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.

   A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
   used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
   they're asking for by being explicit:

      https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/

 - Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
   clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
   comments.

 - Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
   of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.

 - Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
   synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.

   Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.

 - Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
   from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
   module parameter, and more

 - Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements

This commit saves a line of code by switching from strncpy() to strscpy()
by permitting the later NUL assignment to be removed.  While in the area,
save another line by taking advantage of 100 characters.

This commit saves a few lines by checking first for an empty callback
list.  If the callback list is empty, then that CPU is taken care of,
regardless of its online or nocb state.  Also simplify tracing accordingly
and fold a few lines together.
