<title>rcu: Eliminate NOCBs CPU-state Kconfig options</title>

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.

RCU's debugfs tracing used to be the only reasonable low-level debug
information available, but ftrace and event tracing has since surpassed
the RCU debugfs level of usefulness.  This commit therefore removes
RCU's debugfs tracing.

<title>rcu: Remove the now-obsolete PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option</title>

<content type='text'>
The PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option was initially added due to
the volume of messages from PROVE_RCU: Doing just one per boot would
have required excessive numbers of boots to locate them all.  However,
PROVE_RCU messages are now relatively rare, so there is no longer any
reason to need more than one such message per boot.  This commit therefore
removes the PROVE_RCU_REPEATEDLY Kconfig option.

by commit 0edd1b1784cb ("nohz_full: Add full-system-idle state machine"),
but has not been used.  This commit therefore removes it.

If it turns out to be needed later, this commit can always be reverted.

<title>rcu: Remove *_SLOW_* Kconfig options</title>

The RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_PREINIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT,
RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_INIT_DELAY, RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP,
and RCU_TORTURE_TEST_SLOW_CLEANUP_DELAY Kconfig options are only
useful for torture testing, and there are the rcutree.gp_cleanup_delay,
rcutree.gp_init_delay, and rcutree.gp_preinit_delay kernel boot parameters
that rcutorture can use instead.  The effect of these parameters is to
artificially slow down grace period initialization and cleanup in order
to make some types of race conditions happen more often.

This commit therefore simplifies Tree RCU a bit by removing the Kconfig
options and adding the corresponding kernel parameters to rcutorture's
.boot files instead.  However, this commit also leaves out the kernel
parameters for TREE02, TREE04, and TREE07 in order to have about the
same number of tests slowed as not slowed.  TREE01, TREE03, TREE05,
and TREE06 are slowed, and the rest are not slowed.

<title>rcu: Move docbook comments out of rcupdate.h</title>

<content type='text'>
The include/linux/rcupdate.h file is included by more than 200
files, so shrinking it should provide some build-time benefits.
This commit therefore moves several docbook comments from rcupdate.h to
kernel/rcu/update.c, kernel/rcu/tree.c, and kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h, thus
reducing the number of times that the compiler has to scan these comments.
This likely provides only a small benefit, but every little bit helps.

This commit also fixes a malformed bulleted list noted by the 0day
Test Robot.

Wait/wakeup operations do not guarantee ordering on their own.  Instead,
either locking or memory barriers are required.  This commit therefore
adds memory barriers to wake_nocb_leader() and nocb_leader_wait().

The RCU_NOGP_WAKE_NOT, RCU_NOGP_WAKE, and RCU_NOGP_WAKE_FORCE flags
are used to mediate wakeups for the no-CBs CPU kthreads.  The "NOGP"
really doesn't make any sense, so this commit does s/NOGP/NOCB/.

Comments can be helpful, but assertions carry more force.  This commit
therefore adds lockdep_assert_held() and RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() calls to
enforce lock-held and interrupt-disabled preconditions.
