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.

+=================
+Keyboard notifier
+=================
+
+One can use register_keyboard_notifier to get called back on keyboard
+events (see kbd_keycode() function for details).  The passed structure is
+keyboard_notifier_param (see <linux/keyboard.h>):
+
+- 'vc' always provide the VC for which the keyboard event applies;
+- 'down' is 1 for a key press event, 0 for a key release;
+- 'shift' is the current modifier state, mask bit indexes are KG_*;
+- 'ledstate' is the current LED state;
+- 'value' depends on the type of event.
+
+- KBD_KEYCODE events are always sent before other events, value is the keycode.
+- KBD_UNBOUND_KEYCODE events are sent if the keycode is not bound to a keysym.
+  value is the keycode.
+- KBD_UNICODE events are sent if the keycode -> keysym translation produced a
+  unicode character. value is the unicode value.
+- KBD_KEYSYM events are sent if the keycode -> keysym translation produced a
+  non-unicode character. value is the keysym.
+- KBD_POST_KEYSYM events are sent after the treatment of non-unicode keysyms.
+  That permits one to inspect the resulting LEDs for instance.
+
+For each kind of event but the last, the callback may return NOTIFY_STOP in
+order to "eat" the event: the notify loop is stopped and the keyboard event is
+dropped.
+
+In a rough C snippet, we have::
+
+    kbd_keycode(keycode) {
+	...
+	params.value = keycode;
+	if (notifier_call_chain(KBD_KEYCODE,&params) == NOTIFY_STOP)
+	    || !bound) {
+		notifier_call_chain(KBD_UNBOUND_KEYCODE,&params);
+		return;
+	}
+
+	if (unicode) {
+		param.value = unicode;
+		if (notifier_call_chain(KBD_UNICODE,&params) == NOTIFY_STOP)
+			return;
+		emit unicode;
+		return;
+	}
+
+	params.value = keysym;
+	if (notifier_call_chain(KBD_KEYSYM,&params) == NOTIFY_STOP)
+		return;
+	apply keysym;
+	notifier_call_chain(KBD_POST_KEYSYM,&params);
+    }
+
+.. note:: This notifier is usually called from interrupt context.
