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.

+description: |+
+  This binding is intended for performance management of groups of devices or
+  CPUs that run in the same performance domain. Performance domains must not
+  be confused with power domains. A performance domain is defined by a set
+  of devices that always have to run at the same performance level. For a given
+  performance domain, there is a single point of control that affects all the
+  devices in the domain, making it impossible to set the performance level of
+  an individual device in the domain independently from other devices in
+  that domain. For example, a set of CPUs that share a voltage domain, and
+  have a common frequency control, is said to be in the same performance
+  domain.
+
+  This device tree binding can be used to bind performance domain consumer
+  devices with their performance domains provided by performance domain
+  providers. A performance domain provider can be represented by any node in
+  the device tree and can provide one or more performance domains. A consumer
+  node can refer to the provider by a phandle and a set of phandle arguments
+  (so called performance domain specifiers) of length specified by the
+  \#performance-domain-cells property in the performance domain provider node.
