<title>rcu: Move gp_state_names[] and gp_state_getname() to tree_stall.h</title>

Only tree_stall.h needs to get name from GP state, so this commit
moves the gp_state_names[] array and the gp_state_getname()
from kernel/rcu/tree.h and kernel/rcu/tree.c, respectively, to
kernel/rcu/tree_stall.h.  While moving gp_state_names[], this commit
uses the GCC syntax to ensure that the right string is associated with
the right CPP macro.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU are always identical,
but some code depends on CONFIG_PREEMPTION to access to
rcu_preempt functionality. This patch changes CONFIG_PREEMPTION
to CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU in these cases.

<title>rcu: Remove kfree_rcu() special casing and lazy-callback handling</title>

<id>77a40f97030b27b3fc1640a3ed203870f0817f57</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit removes kfree_rcu() special-casing and the lazy-callback
handling from Tree RCU.  It moves some of this special casing to Tiny RCU,
the removal of which will be the subject of later commits.

This results in a nice negative delta.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and
   Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann,
   Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers.

   As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex,
   document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests,
   and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc:
   linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-)

 - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree
   closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies
   into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual
   introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches
   to go though.

 - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to
   allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage.

 - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS).

 - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count
   applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints.

 - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present.

 - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality.

 - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets
   rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's
   being offlined.

 - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from
   setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization.
   Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and
   the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken
   before.

 - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more
   optimal.

 - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath.

 - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems.

 - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see
   the Git log for more details.

* 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (53 commits)
  sched/psi: Correct overly pessimistic size calculation

This commit adds a rcu_cpu_stall_ftrace_dump kernel boot parameter, that,
when set, causes the trace buffer to be dumped after an RCU CPU stall
warning is printed.  This kernel boot parameter is disabled by default,
maintaining compatibility with previous behavior.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same
functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Switch the conditionals in RCU to use CONFIG_PREEMPTION.

That's the first step towards RCU on RT. The further tweaks are work in
progress. This neither touches the selftest bits which need a closer look
by Paul.

<title>rcu: Correctly unlock root node in rcu_check_gp_start_stall()</title>

<content type='text'>
On systems whose rcu_node tree has only one node, the
rcu_check_gp_start_stall() function's values of rnp and rnp_root will
be identical.  In this case, it clearly does not make sense to release
both rnp-&gt;lock and rnp_root-&gt;lock, but that is exactly what this function
does in the last early exit.  This commit therefore unlocks only rnp-&gt;lock
when rnp and rnp_root are equal.

The Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt file says that stall warnings
print "D" if dyntick-idle processing is enabled, but the code in
print_cpu_stall_fast_no_hz() prints "." instead.  This commit therefore
reverses the sense of the test to make the code match the documentation.
