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.

+ * task_current_syscall - Discover what a blocked task is doing.
+ * @target: thread to examine
+ * @info: structure with the following fields:
+ * .sp - filled with user stack pointer
+ * .data.nr - filled with system call number or -1
+ * .data.args - filled with @maxargs system call arguments
+ * .data.instruction_pointer - filled with user PC
+ *
+ * If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with @info.data.nr
+ * set to the call's number and @info.data.args filled in with its
+ * arguments. Registers not used for system call arguments may not be available
+ * and it is not kosher to use &struct user_regset calls while the system
+ * call is still in progress. Note we may get this result if @target
+ * has finished its system call but not yet returned to user mode, such
+ * as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
+ *
+ * If @target is blocked in the kernel during a fault or exception,
+ * returns zero with *@info.data.nr set to -1 and does not fill in
+ * @info.data.args. If so, it's now safe to examine @target using
+ * &struct user_regset get() calls as long as we're sure @target won't return
+ * to user mode.
+ *
+ * Returns -%EAGAIN if @target does not remain blocked.
