Merge branch 'for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into core/rcu

Pull v5.10 RCU changes from Paul E. McKenney:

- Debugging for smp_call_function().

- Strict grace periods for KASAN.  The point of this series is to find
  RCU-usage bugs, so the corresponding new RCU_STRICT_GRACE_PERIOD
  Kconfig option depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT, and is
  further disabled by dfefault.  Finally, the help text includes
  a goodly list of scary caveats.

- New smp_call_function() torture test.

- Torture-test updates.

- Documentation updates.

- Miscellaneous fixes.

This option provides a kernel module that runs torture tests
on the smp_call_function() family of primitives. The kernel
module may be built after the fact on the running kernel to
be tested, if desired.

help
This option enables debug prints when CPUs are slow to respond
to the smp_call_function*() IPI wrappers. These debug prints
include the IPI handler function currently executing (if any)
and relevant stack traces.
