Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney: - Bitmap parsing support for "all" as an alias for all bits - Documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes, including some that overlap into mm and lockdep - kvfree_rcu() updates - mem_dump_obj() updates, with acks from one of the slab-allocator maintainers - RCU NOCB CPU updates, including limited deoffloading - SRCU updates - Tasks-RCU updates - Torture-test updates * 'core-rcu-2021.07.04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: (78 commits) tasks-rcu: Make show_rcu_tasks_gp_kthreads() be static inline rcu-tasks: Make ksoftirqd provide RCU Tasks quiescent states rcu: Add missing __releases() annotation rcu: Remove obsolete rcu_read_unlock() deadlock commentary rcu: Improve comments describing RCU read-side critical sections rcu: Create an unrcu_pointer() to remove __rcu from a pointer srcu: Early test SRCU polling start rcu: Fix various typos in comments rcu/nocb: Unify timers rcu/nocb: Prepare for fine-grained deferred wakeup rcu/nocb: Only cancel nocb timer if not polling rcu/nocb: Delete bypass_timer upon nocb_gp wakeup rcu/nocb: Cancel nocb_timer upon nocb_gp wakeup rcu/nocb: Allow de-offloading rdp leader rcu/nocb: Directly call __wake_nocb_gp() from bypass timer rcu: Don't penalize priority boosting when there is nothing to boost rcu: Point to documentation of ordering guarantees rcu: Make rcu_gp_cleanup() be noinline for tracing rcu: Restrict RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD to at most four CPUs rcu: Make show_rcu_gp_kthreads() dump rcu_node structures blocking GP ...

The final ``rcu_gp_init()`` pass through the ``rcu_node`` tree traverses
breadth-first, setting each ``rcu_node`` structure's ``->gp_seq`` field
to the newly advanced value from the ``rcu_state`` structure, as shown
in the following diagram.

This change will also cause each CPU's next call to
``__note_gp_changes()`` to notice that a new grace period has started,
