Merge tag 'rcu.release.v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rcu/linux 

Pull RCU updates from Frederic Weisbecker:
 "SRCU:

   - Introduction of the new SRCU-lite flavour with a new pair of
     srcu_read_[un]lock_lite() APIs. In practice the read side using
     this flavour becomes lighter by removing a full memory barrier on
     LOCK and a full memory barrier on UNLOCK. This comes at the expense
     of a higher latency write side with two (in the best case of a
     snaphot of unused read-sides) or more RCU grace periods on the
     update side which now assumes by itself the whole full ordering
     guarantee against the LOCK/UNLOCK counters on both indexes, along
     with the accesses performed inside.

     Uretprobes is a known potential user.

     Note this doesn't replace the default normal flavour of SRCU which
     still behaves the same as usual.

   - Add testing of SRCU-lite through rcutorture and rcuscale

   - Various cleanups on the way.

  Fixes:

   - Allow short-circuiting RCU-TASKS-RUDE grace periods on
     architectures that have sane noinstr boundaries forbidding tracing
     on low-level idle and kernel entry code. RCU-TASKS is enough on
     such configurations because it involves an RCU grace period that
     waits for all idle tasks to either schedule out voluntarily or
     enter into RCU unwatched noinstr code.

   - Allow and test start_poll_synchronize_rcu() with IRQs disabled.

   - Mention rcuog kthreads in relevant documentation and Kconfig help

   - Various fixes and consolidations

  rcutorture:

   - Add --no-affinity on tools to leave the affinity setting of guests
     up to the user.

   - Add guest_os_delay parameter to rcuscale for better warm-up
     control.

   - Fix and improve some rcuscale error handling.

   - Various cleanups and fixes

  stall:

   - Remove dead code

   - Stop dumping tasks if a stalled grace period eventually ended
     midway as that only produces confusing output.

   - Optimize detection of stalling CPUs and avoid useless node locking
     otherwise.

  NOCB:

   - Fix rcu_barrier() hang due to a race against callbacks
     deoffloading. This is not yet used, except by rcutorture, and waits
     for its promised cpusets interface.

   - Remove leftover function declaration"
