Changes:

Make expedited grace periods expedite normal RCU callbacks

Miscellaneous fixes:
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj().
 * Documentation updates.
 * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states.
 * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields.
 * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space.

Tasks RCU updates:
 * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output.
 * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Documentation updates.
 * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline
   function.

SRCU updates:
 * Add Rust helpers for SRCU.
 * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time.

Torture-test updates:
 * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting.
 * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq).
 * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap().
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing,
   and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier.
 * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period.
 * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure.

+What:		/sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/scale
+Date:		July 2019
+KernelVersion:	5.4
+Contact:	Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org>
+Description:
+		Description of the scale of the brightness curve.
+
+		The human eye senses brightness approximately logarithmically,
+		hence linear changes in brightness are perceived as being
+		non-linear. To achieve a linear perception of brightness changes
+		controls like sliders need to apply a logarithmic mapping for
+		backlights with a linear brightness curve.
+
+		Possible values of the attribute are:
+
+		unknown
+		  The scale of the brightness curve is unknown.
+
+		linear
+		  The brightness changes linearly with each step. Brightness
+		  controls should apply a logarithmic mapping for a linear
+		  perception.
+
+		non-linear
+		  The brightness changes non-linearly with each step. Brightness
+		  controls should use a linear mapping for a linear perception.

+Date:		Apr, 2010
+KernelVersion:	v2.6.35
+Contact:	Michael Hennerich <michael.hennerich@analog.com>
+Description:
+		(RO) Get conversion value of the light sensor.
+
+		The value is automatically updated every 80 ms when the
+		light sensor is enabled.
+
+		The value range is device-driver specific:
+
+		For ADP8870:
+
+		  It returns integer between 0 (dark) and 8000 (max ambient
+		  brightness).
+
+		For ADP8860:
+
+		  It returns a 13-bits integer.

+
+Description:
+		(RW) Read or write the specific brightness level at which the
+		backlight operates.
+
+		The value meaning is device-driver specific:
+
+		For ADP8860:
+
+		  ==	==========================
+		   0	Off: Backlight set to 0 mA
+		   1	Level 1: daylight
+		   2	Level 2: bright
+		   3	Level 3: dark
+		  ==	==========================
+
+		For ADP8870:
+
+		  ==	==========================
+		   0	Off: Backlight set to 0 mA
+		   1	Level 1: daylight
+		   2	Level 2: bright
+		   3	Level 3: office
+		   4	Level 4: indoor
+		   5	Level 5: dark
+		  ==	==========================
+
+		Writing 0 returns to normal/automatic ambient light level
+		operation.
+
+		It can be enabled by writing the value stored in
+		/sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/max_brightness to
+		/sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/brightness.
