The "rcu_dyntick" naming convention has been turned into "rcu_watching" for
all helpers now, align the trace event to that.

To add to the confusion, the strings passed to the trace event are now
reversed: when RCU "starts" the dyntick / EQS state, it "stops" watching.

Add an rcu_sr_normal() trace event. It takes three arguments
first one is the name of RCU flavour, second one is a user id
which triggeres synchronize_rcu_normal() and last one is an
event.

There are two traces in the synchronize_rcu_normal(). On entry,
when a new request is registered and on exit point when request
is completed.

Please note, CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y is required to activate traces.

Pull RCU updates from Joel Fernandes:

 - Updates and additions to MAINTAINERS files, with Boqun being added to
   the RCU entry and Zqiang being added as an RCU reviewer.

   I have also transitioned from reviewer to maintainer; however, Paul
   will be taking over sending RCU pull-requests for the next merge
   window.

 - Resolution of hotplug warning in nohz code, achieved by fixing
   cpu_is_hotpluggable() through interaction with the nohz subsystem.

   Tick dependency modifications by Zqiang, focusing on fixing usage of
   the TICK_DEP_BIT_RCU_EXP bitmask.

 - Avoid needless calls to the rcu-lazy shrinker for CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=n
   kernels, fixed by Zqiang.

 - Improvements to rcu-tasks stall reporting by Neeraj.

 - Initial renaming of k[v]free_rcu() to k[v]free_rcu_mightsleep() for
   increased robustness, affecting several components like mac802154,
   drbd, vmw_vmci, tracing, and more.

   A report by Eric Dumazet showed that the API could be unknowingly
   used in an atomic context, so we'd rather make sure they know what
   they're asking for by being explicit:

      https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221202052847.2623997-1-edumazet@google.com/

 - Documentation updates, including corrections to spelling,
   clarifications in comments, and improvements to the srcu_size_state
   comments.

 - Better srcu_struct cache locality for readers, by adjusting the size
   of srcu_struct in support of SRCU usage by Christoph Hellwig.

 - Teach lockdep to detect deadlocks between srcu_read_lock() vs
   synchronize_srcu() contributed by Boqun.

   Previously lockdep could not detect such deadlocks, now it can.

 - Integration of rcutorture and rcu-related tools, targeted for v6.4
   from Boqun's tree, featuring new SRCU deadlock scenarios, test_nmis
   module parameter, and more

 - Miscellaneous changes, various code cleanups and comment improvements

Now that -&gt;nocb_timer and -&gt;nocb_bypass_timer have become quite similar,
this commit merges them together.  A new RCU_NOCB_WAKE_BYPASS wake level
is introduced.  As a result, timers perform all kinds of deferred wake
ups but other deferred wakeup callsites only handle non-bypass wakeups
in order not to wake up rcuo too early.

The timer also unconditionally executes a full barrier so as to order
timer_pending() and callback enqueue although the path performing
RCU_NOCB_WAKE_FORCE that makes use of it is debatable. It should also
test against the rdp leader instead of the current rdp.

This unconditional full barrier shouldn't bring visible overhead since
these timers almost never fire.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New feature:

   - A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory.

     When set the function tracer will detect if the current function
     being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of
     recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the
     function is repeated in a row. And when another function is
     recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that
     repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of
     when the last repeated function occurred.

  Enhancements:

   - In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
     buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
     as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
     timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no
     longer needs to waste ring buffer space.

   - New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
     dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.

  Fixes:

   - No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for
     "saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows
     for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the
     task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New feature:

   - A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory.

     When set the function tracer will detect if the current function
     being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of
     recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the
     function is repeated in a row. And when another function is
     recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that
     repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of
     when the last repeated function occurred.

  Enhancements:

   - In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
     buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
     as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
     timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no
     longer needs to waste ring buffer space.

   - New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
     dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.

  Fixes:

   - No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for
     "saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows
     for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the
     task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than
     32768.

   - Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.

  Clean ups:

   - Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.

   - Better management of ftrace_page allocations"
