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.

+==========================
+Understanding fbdev's cmap
+==========================
+
+These notes explain how X's dix layer uses fbdev's cmap structures.
+
+-  example of relevant structures in fbdev as used for a 3-bit grayscale cmap::
+
+    struct fb_var_screeninfo {
+	    .bits_per_pixel = 8,
+	    .grayscale      = 1,
+	    .red =          { 4, 3, 0 },
+	    .green =        { 0, 0, 0 },
+	    .blue =         { 0, 0, 0 },
+    }
+    struct fb_fix_screeninfo {
+	    .visual =       FB_VISUAL_STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR,
+    }
+    for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
+	info->cmap.red[i] = (((2*i)+1)*(0xFFFF))/16;
+    memcpy(info->cmap.green, info->cmap.red, sizeof(u16)*8);
+    memcpy(info->cmap.blue, info->cmap.red, sizeof(u16)*8);
+
+-  X11 apps do something like the following when trying to use grayscale::
+
+    for (i=0; i < 8; i++) {
+	char colorspec[64];
+	memset(colorspec,0,64);
+	sprintf(colorspec, "rgb:%x/%x/%x", i*36,i*36,i*36);
+	if (!XParseColor(outputDisplay, testColormap, colorspec, &wantedColor))
+		printf("Can't get color %s\n",colorspec);
+	XAllocColor(outputDisplay, testColormap, &wantedColor);
+	grays[i] = wantedColor;
+    }
+
+There's also named equivalents like gray1..x provided you have an rgb.txt.
+
+Somewhere in X's callchain, this results in a call to X code that handles the
+colormap. For example, Xfbdev hits the following:
+
+xc-011010/programs/Xserver/dix/colormap.c::
+
+  FindBestPixel(pentFirst, size, prgb, channel)
+
+  dr = (long) pent->co.local.red - prgb->red;
+  dg = (long) pent->co.local.green - prgb->green;
+  db = (long) pent->co.local.blue - prgb->blue;
+  sq = dr * dr;
+  UnsignedToBigNum (sq, &sum);
+  BigNumAdd (&sum, &temp, &sum);
+
+co.local.red are entries that were brought in through FBIOGETCMAP which come
+directly from the info->cmap.red that was listed above. The prgb is the rgb
+that the app wants to match to. The above code is doing what looks like a least
+squares matching function. That's why the cmap entries can't be set to the left
+hand side boundaries of a color range.
