The x86/mtrr code does horrific things because hardware. It uses
stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu(), which does a wakeup (of the stopper
thread on another CPU), which uses RCU, all before the CPU is onlined.

RCU complains about this, because wakeups use RCU and RCU does
(rightfully) not consider offline CPUs for grace-periods.

Fix this by initializing RCU way early in the MTRR case.

<title>rcu: Declare rcu_eqs_special_set() in public header</title>

<content type='text'>
Because rcu_eqs_special_set() is declared only in internal header
kernel/rcu/tree.h and stubbed in include/linux/rcutiny.h, it is
inaccessible outside of the RCU implementation.  This patch therefore
moves the  rcu_eqs_special_set() declaration to include/linux/rcutree.h,
which allows it to be used in non-rcu kernel code.

Now that the irq path uses the rcu_nmi_{enter,exit}() algorithm,
rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() may be used from any context.  There is
thus no need for rcu_irq_enter_disabled() and for the checks using it.
This commit therefore eliminates rcu_irq_enter_disabled().

This commit removes a #ifdef and saves a few lines of code by moving
the rcu_end_inkernel_boot() function from include/linux/rcupdate.h to
include/linux/rcutiny.h (for TINY_RCU) and to include/linux/rcutree.h
(for TREE_RCU).

The various functions similar to rcu_batches_started(), the

rcu_force_quiescent_state(), and the variables rcutorture_testseq and
rcutorture_vernum are used only within RCU.  There is therefore no point

<title>rcu: Move torture-related definitions from rcupdate.h to rcu.h</title>

<content type='text'>
The include/linux/rcupdate.h file contains a number of definitions that
are used only to communicate between rcutorture, rcuperf, and the RCU code
itself.  There is no point in having these definitions exposed globally
throughout the kernel, so this commit moves them to kernel/rcu/rcu.h.
This change has the added benefit of shrinking rcupdate.h.

<title>rcu: Make non-preemptive schedule be Tasks RCU quiescent state</title>

<id>bcbfdd01dce5556a952fae84ef16fd0f12525e7b</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, a call to schedule() acts as a Tasks RCU quiescent state
only if a context switch actually takes place.  However, just the
call to schedule() guarantees that the calling task has moved off of
whatever tracing trampoline that it might have been one previously.
This commit therefore plumbs schedule()'s "preempt" parameter into
rcu_note_context_switch(), which then records the Tasks RCU quiescent
state, but only if this call to schedule() was -not- due to a preemption.

To avoid adding overhead to the common-case context-switch path,
this commit hides the rcu_note_context_switch() check under an existing
non-common-case check.

This commit provides rcu_exp_batches_completed() and
rcu_exp_batches_completed_sched() functions to allow torture-test modules
to check how many expedited grace period batches have completed.
These are analogous to the existing rcu_batches_completed(),
rcu_batches_completed_bh(), and rcu_batches_completed_sched() functions.
