This pull request contains the following branches:
doc.2021.11.30c: Documentation updates, perhaps most notably Neil Brown's
writeup of the reference-counting analogy to RCU.
exp.2021.12.07a: Expedited grace-period cleanups.
fastnohz.2021.11.30c: Remove CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ due to lack of valid
users. I have asked around, posted a blog entry, and sent this
series to LKML without result.
fixes.2021.11.30c: Miscellaneous fixes.
nocb.2021.12.09a: RCU callback offloading updates, perhaps most notably
Frederic Weisbecker's updates allowing CPUs booted in the
de-offloaded state to be offloaded at runtime.
nolibc.2021.11.30c: nolibc fixes from Willy Tarreau and Anmar Faizi, but
also including Mark Brown's addition of gettid().
tasks.2021.12.09a: RCU Tasks Trace fixes, including changes that increase
the scalability of call_rcu_tasks_trace() for the BPF folks
(Martin Lau and KP Singh).
torture.2021.12.07a: Various fixes including those from Wander Lairson
Costa and Li Zhijian.
torturescript.2021.11.30c: Fixes plus addition of tests for the increased
