2.	Fix description of kvfree_rcu(), courtesy of "Uladzislau Rezki
	(Sony)".

3.	Add mutex for rcu boost kthread spawning and affinity setting,
	courtesy of David Woodhouse.

[PATCH rcu 1/9] MAINTAINERS: Add Frederic and Neeraj to their RCU files

[Paul E. McKenney]

Adding Frederic as an RCU maintainer for kernel/rcu/tree_nocb.h given his
work with offloading and de-offloading callbacks from CPUs.  Also adding
Neeraj for kernel/rcu/tasks.h given his focused work on RCU Tasks Trace.
As in I am reasonably certain that each understands the full contents
of the corresponding file.

[PATCH rcu 2/9] rcu: Fix description of kvfree_rcu()

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@gmail.com>

The kvfree_rcu() header comment's description of the "ptr" parameter
is unclear, therefore rephrase it to make it clear that it is a pointer
to the memory to eventually be passed to kvfree().

[PATCH rcu 3/9] rcu: Add mutex for rcu boost kthread spawning and affinity setting

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

As we handle parallel CPU bringup, we will need to take care to avoid
spawning multiple boost threads, or race conditions when setting their
affinity. Spotted by Paul McKenney.

[PATCH rcu 5/9] kasan: Record work creation stack trace with interrupts enabled

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

Recording the work creation stack trace for KASAN reports in
call_rcu() is expensive, due to unwinding the stack, but also
due to acquiring depot_lock inside stackdepot (which may be contended).
Because calling kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() does not require
interrupts to already be disabled, this may unnecessarily extend
the time with interrupts disabled.

Therefore, move calling kasan_record_aux_stack() before the section
with interrupts disabled.

[PATCH rcu 6/9] rcu: Mark writes to the rcu_segcblist structure's ->flags field

[Paul E. McKenney]

KCSAN reports data races between the rcu_segcblist_clear_flags() and
rcu_segcblist_set_flags() functions, though misreporting the latter
as a call to rcu_segcblist_is_enabled() from call_rcu().  This commit
converts the updates of this field to WRITE_ONCE(), relying on the
resulting unmarked reads to continue to detect buggy concurrent writes
to this field.

This is a rarely used function, so uninlining its 3 instructions
is probably a win or a wash - but the main motivation is to

[PATCH rcu 9/9] rcu: Replace cpumask_weight with cpumask_empty where appropriate

[Paul E. McKenney]

From: Yury Norov <yury.norov@gmail.com>

In some places, RCU code calls cpumask_weight() to check if any bit of a
given cpumask is set. We can do it more efficiently with cpumask_empty()
because cpumask_empty() stops traversing the cpumask as soon as it finds
first set bit, while cpumask_weight() counts all bits unconditionally.

Speaking of, we have:

rcu_init()
   for_each_online_cpu(cpu) // should be boot CPU only at this stage ?
       rcutree_prepare_cpu(cpu)
           rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread(cpu)

    rcu_spawn_gp_kthread()
        rcu_spawn_boost_kthreads()

cpu_up()
    rcutree_prepare_cpu(cpu)
        rcu_spawn_one_boost_kthread(cpu)


My guess is that we could remove rcu_spawn_boost_kthreads() and simplify
rcu_init(). Something like this (untested yet):

nocb kthread creation is similar but it depends on the gp kthread.
So we can't rely on rcu_init() -> rcu_prepare_cpu() and we must keep
the early_initcall() -> rcu_spawn_gp_kthread().

That would become (untested again):

If you also add a WARN_ON() for more than one CPU being online at
rcu_init() time, I am good with this approach.  The main danger that
the pre-rcu_init() portion of the boot time becomes the long straw in
the eternal quest to make systems boot faster, but it is not hard to
put it back.  Hence the WARN_ON() to make it clear that adjustment
is needed.  ;-)
