Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:

 - RCU torture, locktorture and generic torture infrastructure updates
   that include various fixes, cleanups and consolidations.

   Among the user visible things, ftrace dumps can now be found into
   their own file, and module parameters get better documented and
   reported on dumps.

 - Generic and misc fixes all over the place. Some highlights:

     * Hotplug handling has seen some light cleanups and comments

     * An RCU barrier can now be triggered through sysfs to serialize
       memory stress testing and avoid OOM

     * Object information is now dumped in case of invalid callback
       invocation

     * Also various SRCU issues, too hard to trigger to deserve urgent
       pull requests, have been fixed

 - RCU documentation updates

 - RCU reference scalability test minor fixes and doc improvements.

 - RCU tasks minor fixes

 - Stall detection updates. Introduce RCU CPU Stall notifiers that
   allows a subsystem to provide informations to help debugging. Also
   cure some false positive stalls.

* tag 'rcu-next-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks: (56 commits)
  srcu: Only accelerate on enqueue time
  locktorture: Check the correct variable for allocation failure
  srcu: Fix callbacks acceleration mishandling
  rcu: Comment why callbacks migration can't wait for CPUHP_RCUTREE_PREP
  rcu: Standardize explicit CPU-hotplug calls

for the package mask. :-)

Since these names are CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y only, rename them to make the
name less ambiguous.

[ Shrikanth Hegde: rename on s390 as well. ]
[ Valentin Schneider: also rename it in the comments. ]

rcu_report_dead() and rcutree_migrate_callbacks() have their headers in
rcupdate.h while those are pure rcutree calls, like the other CPU-hotplug
functions.

Also rcu_cpu_starting() and rcu_report_dead() have different naming
conventions while they mirror each other's effects.

Fix the headers and propose a naming that relates both functions and
aligns with the prefix of other rcutree CPU-hotplug functions.

<title>powerpc: Add HOTPLUG_SMT support</title>

<id>73c58e7e14126466701705820c4eb47daddc357d</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for HOTPLUG_SMT, which enables the generic sysfs SMT support
files in /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt, as well as the "nosmt" boot
parameter.

Implement the recently added hooks to allow partial SMT states, allow
any number of threads per core.

Tie the config symbol to HOTPLUG_CPU, which enables it on the major
platforms that support SMT. If there are other platforms that want the
SMT support that can be tweaked in future.

<title>powerpc: Account mm_cpumask and active_cpus in init_mm</title>

init_mm mm_cpumask and context.active_cpus is not maintained at boot
and hotplug. This seems to be harmless because init_mm does not have a
userspace and so never gets user TLBs flushed, but it looks odd and it
prevents some sanity checks being added.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Extend KCSAN support to 32-bit and BookE. Add some KCSAN annotations

 - Make ELFv2 ABI the default for 64-bit big-endian kernel builds, and
   use the -mprofile-kernel option (kernel specific ftrace ABI) for big
   endian ELFv2 kernels

 - Add initial Dynamic Execution Control Register (DEXCR) support, and
   allow the ROP protection instructions to be used on Power 10

 - Various other small features and fixes

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molar:
 "Build footprint &amp; performance improvements:

   - Reduce memory usage with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y

     In the worst case of an allyesconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y kernel,
     DWARF creates almost 200 million relocations, ballooning objtool's
     peak heap usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.

     On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce
     objtool's peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.

     These changes also improve the runtime significantly.

  Debuggability improvements:

   - Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
     debugging output
   - Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
   - Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
   - Include backtrace in verbose mode
   - Detect missing __noreturn annotations
   - Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
   - Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
   - Move noreturn function list to separate file
   - Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns

  Unwinder improvements:

   - Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions
   - drm/vmwgfx: Add unwind hints around RBP clobber

  Cleanups:

   - Move the x86 entry thunk restore code into thunk functions
   - x86/unwind/orc: Use swap() instead of open coding it
   - Remove unnecessary/unused variables

  Fixes for modern stack canary handling"

   - Reduce memory usage with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y

     In the worst case of an allyesconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y kernel,
     DWARF creates almost 200 million relocations, ballooning objtool's
     peak heap usage to 53GB. These patches reduce that to 25GB.

     On a distro-type kernel with kernel IBT enabled, they reduce
     objtool's peak heap usage from 4.2GB to 2.8GB.

     These changes also improve the runtime significantly.

  Debuggability improvements:

   - Add the unwind_debug command-line option, for more extend unwinding
     debugging output
   - Limit unreachable warnings to once per function
   - Add verbose option for disassembling affected functions
   - Include backtrace in verbose mode
   - Detect missing __noreturn annotations
   - Ignore exc_double_fault() __noreturn warnings
   - Remove superfluous global_noreturns entries
   - Move noreturn function list to separate file
   - Add __kunit_abort() to noreturns

  Unwinder improvements:

   - Allow stack operations in UNWIND_HINT_UNDEFINED regions
   - drm/vmwgfx: Add unwind hints around RBP clobber

  Cleanups:

   - Move the x86 entry thunk restore code into thunk functions
   - x86/unwind/orc: Use swap() instead of open coding it
   - Remove unnecessary/unused variables

  Fixes for modern stack canary handling"

<title>powerpc: Annotate accesses to ipi message flags</title>

IPI message flags are observed and consequently consumed in the
smp_ipi_demux_relaxed function, which handles these message sources
until it observes none more arriving. Mark the checked loop guard with
READ_ONCE, to signal to KCSAN that the read is known to be volatile, and
that non-determinism is expected. Mark write for message source in
smp_muxed_ipi_set_message().

<title>locking/atomic: treewide: use raw_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;()</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we have raw_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;() definitions, there's no need to use
arch_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;() definitions outside of the low-level atomic
definitions.

Move treewide users of arch_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;() over to the equivalent
raw_atomic*_&lt;op&gt;().

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
