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/firmware/secvar
+Date:		August 2019
+Contact:	Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description:	This directory is created if the POWER firmware supports OS
+		secureboot, thereby secure variables. It exposes interface
+		for reading/writing the secure variables
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/secvar/vars
+Date:		August 2019
+Contact:	Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description:	This directory lists all the secure variables that are supported
+		by the firmware.
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/secvar/format
+Date:		August 2019
+Contact:	Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description:	A string indicating which backend is in use by the firmware.
+		This determines the format of the variable and the accepted
+		format of variable updates.
+
+		On powernv/OPAL, this value is provided by the OPAL firmware
+		and is expected to be "ibm,edk2-compat-v1".
+
+		On pseries/PLPKS, this is generated by the kernel based on the
+		version number in the SB_VERSION variable in the keystore. The
+		version numbering in the SB_VERSION variable starts from 1. The
+		format string takes the form "ibm,plpks-sb-v<version>" in the
+		case of dynamic key management mode. If the SB_VERSION variable
+		does not exist (or there is an error while reading it), it takes
+		the form "ibm,plpks-sb-v0", indicating that the key management
+		mode is static.
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable name>
+Date:		August 2019
+Contact:	Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description:	Each secure variable is represented as a directory named as
+		<variable_name>. The variable name is unique and is in ASCII
+		representation. The data and size can be determined by reading
+		their respective attribute files.
+
+		Only secvars relevant to the key management mode are exposed.
+		Only in the dynamic key management mode should the user have
+		access (read and write) to the secure boot secvars db, dbx,
+		grubdb, grubdbx, and sbat. These secvars are not consumed in the
+		static key management mode. PK, trustedcadb and moduledb are the
+		secvars common to both static and dynamic key management modes.
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/size
+Date:		August 2019
+Contact:	Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description:	An integer representation of the size of the content of the
+		variable. In other words, it represents the size of the data.
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/data
+Date:		August 2019
+Contact:	Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description:	A read-only file containing the value of the variable. The size
+		of the file represents the maximum size of the variable data.
+
+What:		/sys/firmware/secvar/vars/<variable_name>/update
+Date:		August 2019
+Contact:	Nayna Jain <nayna@linux.ibm.com>
+Description:	A write-only file that is used to submit the new value for the
+		variable. The size of the file represents the maximum size of
+		the variable data that can be written.
