kernel-per-CPU-kthreads.txt: standardize document format

2017-07-14T19:51:43+00:00

Each text file under Documentation follows a different
format. Some doesn't even have titles!

Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

- Use title markups;
- use "-" for bulletted lists;
- Split Name/Purpose on two lines, in order to make visually
  easier to read (in text format), and to bold the title
  (on ReST output)
- Add blank lines to split bulleted lists;
- use sub-titles for the several kthread softirq types;
- mark one literal var with asterisk as such, in order to
  avoid an error warning on Sphinx.

rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options

2017-06-09T01:52:43+00:00

The CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL, CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_NONE, and
CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ZERO Kconfig options are used only in testing and
are redundant with the rcu_nocbs= boot parameter.  This commit therefore
removes these three Kconfig options and adjusts the rcutorture scripts
to use the boot parameter instead.

The new name is irq_poll as iopoll is already taken.  Better suggestions
welcome.

This commit documents the ability to apply CPU affinity to WQ_SYSFS
workqueues, thus offloading them from the desired worker CPUs.
