The RCU documentation contains old-style cross references which
do not follow the best practices outlined in doc-guide/sphinx.rst.
In addition, some of the cross references use URLs that should be replaced
by pathnames.
Update all of these cross references and adjust the surrounding words.
Summary of changes:
- out-of-date plaintext file names (*.txt) -> *.rst
- references by :ref: tags -> path names of *.rst
* use relative paths to .rst files under the RCU/ subdirectory
* use abs paths of Documentation/xxx for other .rst files
- references by URL under https://www.kernel.org/ -> paths of *.rst
- adjust surrounding words of some of updated references.
Note:
The automarkup.py script interprets references via "*.txt" as if they
were via "*.rst", so the *.txt -> *.rst changes should be regarded as
cleanups rather than bug fixes.

To avoid the ``foo`` markup inside the `bar`__ hyperlink marker,
use the "replace" directive [1].
This should restore the intended appearance of the link.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul E. McKenney:
- Documentation updates.
- Miscellaneous fixes.
- kfree_rcu() updates: Addition of mem_dump_obj() to provide allocator return
addresses to more easily locate bugs. This has a couple of RCU-related commits,
but is mostly MM. Was pulled in with akpm's agreement.
- Per-callback-batch tracking of numbers of callbacks,
which enables better debugging information and smarter
reactions to large numbers of callbacks.
- The first round of changes to allow CPUs to be runtime switched from and to
callback-offloaded state.
- CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT-related changes.
- RCU CPU stall warning updates.
- Addition of polling grace-period APIs for SRCU.
- Torture-test and torture-test scripting updates, including a "torture everything"
script that runs rcutorture, locktorture, scftorture, rcuscale, and refscale.
Plus does an allmodconfig build.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today
depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.
Update the documents and mention CONFIG_PREEMPTION. Spell out
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT (instead PREEMPT_RT) since it is an option now.

Back in the day, RCU_INIT_POINTER() was the only way to avoid
memory-barrier instructions while storing NULL to an RCU-protected
pointer. Fortunately, in 2016, rcu_assign_pointer() started checking for
compile-time NULL pointers and omitting the memory-barrier instructions in
that case. Unfortunately, RCU's Requirements.rst document was not updated
accordingly. This commit therefore at long last carries out that update.

It appears the Compaq link moved to a machine at HP for a while
after the merger of the two, but that doesn't work either. A search
of HP for "wiz_2637" (w and w/o html suffix) comes up empty.
Since the references aren't critical to the documents we remove them.
Also, the lkml.kernel.org/g links have been broken for ages, so replace
them with lore.kernel.org/r links - standardize on lore for all links too.
Note that we put off fixing these 4y ago - presumably thinking that a
treewide fixup was pending. Probably safe to go fix the RCU ones now.

During the process of converting the documentation to reST, some links
were converted using the following wrong syntax (and sometimes using %20
instead of spaces):
`Display text <#section-name-in-html>`__
This syntax isn't valid according to the docutils' spec [1], but more
importantly, it is specific to HTML, since it uses '#' to link to an
HTML anchor.
The right syntax would instead use a docutils hyperlink reference as the
embedded URI to point to the section [2], that is:
`Display text <Section Name_>`__
This syntax works in both HTML and PDF.
The LaTeX toolchain doesn't mind the HTML anchor syntax when generating
the pdf documentation (make pdfdocs), that is, the build succeeds but
the links don't work, but that syntax causes errors when trying to build
using the not-yet-merged rst2pdf:
ValueError: format not resolved, probably missing URL scheme or undefined destination target for 'Forcing%20Quiescent%20States'
So, use the correct syntax in order to have it work in all different
output formats.

The [smp_]read_barrier_depends() barrier macros no longer exist as
part of the Linux memory model, so remove all references to them from
the Documentation/ directory.
Although this is fairly mechanical on the whole, we drop the "CACHE
COHERENCY" section entirely from 'memory-barriers.txt' as it doesn't
make any sense now that the dependency barriers have been removed.

Protecting the code in a trampoline can also require protecting a
number of instructions prior to actually entering the trampoline.
For example, these earlier instructions might be computing the address
of the trampoline. This commit therefore updates RCU's requirements to
record this for posterity.

The scheduler is currently required to hold rq/pi locks across the entire
RCU read-side critical section or not at all. This is inconvenient and
leaves traps for the unwary, including the author of this commit.
But now that excessively long grace periods enable scheduling-clock
interrupts for holdout nohz_full CPUs, the nohz_full rescue logic in
rcu_read_unlock_special() can be dispensed with. In other words, the
rcu_read_unlock_special() function can refrain from doing wakeups unless
such wakeups are guaranteed safe.
This commit therefore avoids unsafe wakeups, freeing the scheduler to
hold rq/pi locks across rcu_read_unlock() even if the corresponding RCU
read-side critical section might have been preempted. This commit also
updates RCU's requirements documentation.
This commit is inspired by a patch from Lai Jiangshan:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191102124559.1135-2-laijs@linux.alibaba.com
This commit is further intended to be a step towards his goal of permitting
the inlining of RCU-preempt's rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock().
