This pull request contains the following branches:
doc.2023.01.05a: Documentation updates.
fixes.2023.01.23a: Miscellaneous fixes, perhaps most notably:
o Throttling callback invocation based on the number of callbacks
that are now ready to invoke instead of on the total number
of callbacks.
o Several patches that suppress false-positive boot-time
diagnostics, for example, due to lockdep not yet being
initialized.
o Make expedited RCU CPU stall warnings dump stacks of any tasks
that are blocking the stalled grace period. (Normal RCU CPU
stall warnings have doen this for mnay years.)
o Lazy-callback fixes to avoid delays during boot, suspend, and
resume. (Note that lazy callbacks must be explicitly enabled,
so this should not (yet) affect production use cases.)
kvfree.2023.01.03a: Cause kfree_rcu() and friends to take advantage of
polled grace periods, thus reducing memory footprint by almost
two orders of magnitude, admittedly on a microbenchmark.
This series also begins the transition from kfree_rcu(p) to
kfree_rcu_mightsleep(p). This transition was motivated by bugs
where kfree_rcu(p), which can block, was typed instead of the
intended kfree_rcu(p, rh).
srcu.2023.01.03a: SRCU updates, perhaps most notably fixing a bug that
causes SRCU to fail when booted on a system with a non-zero boot
CPU. This surprising situation actually happens for kdump kernels
on the powerpc architecture. It also adds an srcu_down_read()
and srcu_up_read(), which act like srcu_read_lock() and
srcu_read_unlock(), but allow an SRCU read-side critical section
to be handed off from one task to another.
srcu-always.2023.02.02a: Cleans up the now-useless SRCU Kconfig option.
There are a few more commits that are not yet acked or pulled
into maintainer trees, and these will be in a pull request for
a later merge window.
tasks.2023.01.03a: RCU-tasks updates, perhaps most notably these fixes:
o A strange interaction between PID-namespace unshare and the
RCU-tasks grace period that results in a low-probability but
very real hang.
o A race between an RCU tasks rude grace period on a single-CPU
system and CPU-hotplug addition of the second CPU that can result
in a too-short grace period.
o A race between shrinking RCU tasks down to a single callback list
and queuing a new callback to some other CPU, but where that
queuing is delayed for more than an RCU grace period. This can
result in that callback being stranded on the non-boot CPU.
torture.2023.01.05a: Torture-test updates and fixes.
torturescript.2023.01.03a: Torture-test scripting updates and fixes.
stall.2023.01.09a: Provide additional RCU CPU stall-warning information
in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_CPUTIME=y, and
restore the full five-minute timeout limit for expedited RCU
CPU stall warnings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
