Linus Torvalds 1fab45ab6e RCU pull request for v6.2

This pull request contains the following branches:
 
 doc.2022.10.20a: Documentation updates.  This is the second
 	in a series from an ongoing review of the RCU documentation.
 
 fixes.2022.10.21a: Miscellaneous fixes.
 
 lazy.2022.11.30a: Introduces a default-off Kconfig option that depends
 	on RCU_NOCB_CPU that, on CPUs mentioned in the nohz_full or
 	rcu_nocbs boot-argument CPU lists, causes call_rcu() to introduce
 	delays.  These delays result in significant power savings on
 	nearly idle Android and ChromeOS systems.  These savings range
 	from a few percent to more than ten percent.
 
 	This series also includes several commits that change call_rcu()
 	to a new call_rcu_hurry() function that avoids these delays in
 	a few cases, for example, where timely wakeups are required.
 	Several of these are outside of RCU and thus have acks and
 	reviews from the relevant maintainers.
 
 srcunmisafe.2022.11.09a: Creates an srcu_read_lock_nmisafe() and an
 	srcu_read_unlock_nmisafe() for architectures that support NMIs,
 	but which do not provide NMI-safe this_cpu_inc().  These NMI-safe
 	SRCU functions are required by the upcoming lockless printk()
 	work by John Ogness et al.
 
 	That printk() series depends on these commits, so if you pull
 	the printk() series before this one, you will have already
 	pulled in this branch, plus two more SRCU commits:
 
 	0cd7e350abc4 ("rcu: Make SRCU mandatory")
 	51f5f78a4f80 ("srcu: Make Tiny synchronize_srcu() check for readers")
 
 	These two commits appear to work well, but do not have
 	sufficient testing exposure over a long enough time for me to
 	feel comfortable pushing them unless something in mainline is
 	definitely going to use them immediately, and currently only
 	the new printk() work uses them.
 
 torture.2022.10.18c: Changes providing minor but important increases
 	in test coverage for the new RCU polled-grace-period APIs.
 
 torturescript.2022.10.20a: Changes that avoid redundant kernel builds,
 	thus providing about a 30% speedup for the torture.sh acceptance
 	test.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates. This is the second in a series from an ongoing
   review of the RCU documentation.

 - Miscellaneous fixes.

 - Introduce a default-off Kconfig option that depends on RCU_NOCB_CPU
   that, on CPUs mentioned in the nohz_full or rcu_nocbs boot-argument
   CPU lists, causes call_rcu() to introduce delays.

   These delays result in significant power savings on nearly idle
   Android and ChromeOS systems. These savings range from a few percent
   to more than ten percent.

   This series also includes several commits that change call_rcu() to a

 - Changes providing minor but important increases in torture test
   coverage for the new RCU polled-grace-period APIs.
