Merge branch 'core-rcu.2021.08.28a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu
Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
"RCU changes for this cycle were:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes
- Offloaded-callbacks updates
- Updates to the nolibc library
- Tasks-RCU updates
- In-kernel torture-test updates
- Torture-test scripting, perhaps most notably the pinning of
torture-test guest OSes so as to force differences in memory
latency. For example, in a two-socket system, a four-CPU guest OS
will have one pair of its CPUs pinned to threads in a single core
on one socket and the other pair pinned to threads in a single core
on the other socket. This approach proved able to force race
conditions that earlier testing missed. Some of these race
conditions are still being tracked down"
