rcu: Remove restrictions on no-CBs CPUs
Currently, CPU 0 is constrained to not be a no-CBs CPU, and furthermore at least one no-CBs CPU must remain online at any given time. These restrictions are problematic in some situations, such as cases where all CPUs must run a real-time workload that needs to be insulated from OS jitter and latencies due to RCU callback invocation. This commit therefore provides no-CBs CPUs a (very crude and energy-inefficient) way to start and to wait for grace periods independently of the normal RCU callback mechanisms. This approach allows any or all of the CPUs to be designated as no-CBs CPUs, and allows any proper subset of the CPUs (whether no-CBs CPUs or not) to be offlined. This commit also provides a fix for a locking bug spotted by Xie ChanglongX <changlongx.xie@intel.com>. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
