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/leds/<led>/pattern
+Date:		September 2018
+KernelVersion:	4.20
+Description:
+		Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+		the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+		timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
+
+		The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and
+		duration (ms).
+
+		The exact format is described in:
+		Documentation/devicetree/bindings/leds/leds-trigger-pattern.txt
+
+What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/hr_pattern
+Date:		April 2024
+Description:
+		Specify a software pattern for the LED, that supports altering
+		the brightness for the specified duration with one software
+		timer. It can do gradual dimming and step change of brightness.
+
+		Unlike the /sys/class/leds/<led>/pattern, this attribute runs
+		a pattern on high-resolution timer (hrtimer).
+
+What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/hw_pattern
+Date:		September 2018
+KernelVersion:	4.20
+Description:
+		Specify a hardware pattern for the LED, for LED hardware that
+		supports autonomously controlling brightness over time, according
+		to some preprogrammed hardware patterns. It deactivates any active
+		software pattern.
+
+		Since different LED hardware can have different semantics of
+		hardware patterns, each driver is expected to provide its own
+		description for the hardware patterns in their documentation
+		file at Documentation/leds/.
+
+What:		/sys/class/leds/<led>/repeat
+Date:		September 2018
+KernelVersion:	4.20
+Description:
+		Specify a pattern repeat number. -1 means repeat indefinitely,
+		other negative numbers and number 0 are invalid.
+
+		This file will always return the originally written repeat
+		number.
+
+		It should be noticed that some leds, like EL15203000 may
+		only support indefinitely patterns, so they always store -1.
