2014-02-26rcu: Ensure kernel/rcu/rcu.h can be sourced/used stand-alonePaul Gortmaker
The kbuild test bot uncovered an implicit dependence on the trace header being present before rcu.h in ia64 allmodconfig that looks like this: In file included from kernel/ksysfs.c:22:0: kernel/rcu/rcu.h: In function '__rcu_reclaim': kernel/rcu/rcu.h:107:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_kfree_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] kernel/rcu/rcu.h:112:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'trace_rcu_invoke_callback' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Looking at other rcu.h users, we can find that they all were sourcing the trace header in advance of rcu.h itself, as seen in the context of this diff. There were also some inconsistencies as to whether it was or wasn't sourced based on the parent tracing Kconfig. Rather than "fix" it at each use site, and have inconsistent use based on whether "#ifdef CONFIG_RCU_TRACE" was used or not, lets just source the trace header just once, in the actual consumer of it, which is rcu.h itself. We include it unconditionally, as build testing shows us that is a hard requirement for some files.

2014-02-17rcu: Move SRCU grace period work to power efficient workqueueShaibal Dutta
For better use of CPU idle time, allow the scheduler to select the CPU on which the SRCU grace period work would be scheduled. This improves idle residency time and conserves power. This functionality is enabled when CONFIG_WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT is selected. Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2014-02-17rcu: Stop tracking FSF's postal addressPaul E. McKenney
All of the RCU source files have the usual GPL header, which contains a long-obsolete postal address for FSF. To avoid the need to track the FSF office's movements, this commit substitutes the URL where GPL may be found.

The srcu_barrier() docbook header left out the "sp" argument, so this commit adds that argument's docbook text. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
