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.

+GFXOFF
+======
+
+GFXOFF is a feature found in most recent GPUs that saves power at runtime. The
+card's RLC (RunList Controller) firmware powers off the gfx engine
+dynamically when there is no workload on gfx or compute pipes. GFXOFF is on by
+default on supported GPUs.
+
+Userspace can interact with GFXOFF through a debugfs interface (all values in
+`uint32_t`, unless otherwise noted):
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff``
+-----------------
+
+Use it to enable/disable GFXOFF, and to check if it's current enabled/disabled::
+
+ $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff
+ 01
+
+- Write 0 to disable it, and 1 to enable it.
+- Read 0 means it's disabled, 1 it's enabled.
+
+If it's enabled, that means that the GPU is free to enter into GFXOFF mode as
+needed. Disabled means that it will never enter GFXOFF mode.
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_status``
+------------------------
+
+Read it to check current GFXOFF's status of a GPU::
+
+ $ xxd -l1 -p /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_gfxoff_status
+ 02
+
+- 0: GPU is in GFXOFF state, the gfx engine is powered down.
+- 1: Transition out of GFXOFF state
+- 2: Not in GFXOFF state
+- 3: Transition into GFXOFF state
+
+If GFXOFF is enabled, the value will be transitioning around [0, 3], always
+getting into 0 when possible. When it's disabled, it's always at 2. Returns
+``-EINVAL`` if it's not supported.
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_count``
+-----------------------
+
+Read it to get the total GFXOFF entry count at the time of query since system
+power-up. The value is an `uint64_t` type, however, due to firmware limitations,
+it can currently overflow as an `uint32_t`. *Only supported in vangogh*
+
+``amdgpu_gfxoff_residency``
+---------------------------
+
+Write 1 to amdgpu_gfxoff_residency to start logging, and 0 to stop. Read it to
+get average GFXOFF residency % multiplied by 100 during the last logging
+interval. E.g. a value of 7854 means 78.54% of the time in the last logging
+interval the GPU was in GFXOFF mode. *Only supported in vangogh*
