Subject: Merge branches 'expcb.2026.07.24a', 'misc.2026.07.30a',
 'rcu-tasks.2026.07.30a', 'srcu.2026.08.11a' and 'torture.2026.08.14a' into
 HEAD

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.

+title: Persistent Memory Regions
+
+description: |
+  Persistent memory refers to a class of memory devices that are:
+
+    a) Usable as main system memory (i.e. cacheable), and
+    b) Retain their contents across power failure.
+
+  Given b) it is best to think of persistent memory as a kind of memory mapped
+  storage device. To ensure data integrity the operating system needs to manage
+  persistent regions separately to the normal memory pool. To aid with that this
+  binding provides a standardised interface for discovering where persistent
+  memory regions exist inside the physical address space.
+
+properties:
+  compatible:
+    const: pmem-region
+
+  reg:
+    maxItems: 1
+
+  volatile:
+    description:
+      Indicates the region is volatile (non-persistent) and the OS can skip
+      cache flushes for writes
+    type: boolean
+
+required:
+  - compatible
+  - reg

+additionalProperties: false

+examples:

+        compatible = "pmem-region";
+        reg = <0x00005000 0x00001000>;
