This commit creates a new kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.c file that
contains non-trivial segcblist functions.  Trivial functions
remain as static inline functions in kernel/rcu/rcu_segcblist.h

SRCU is optional, and included only if there is a "select SRCU" in effect.
However, we now have Tiny SRCU, so this commit defaults CONFIG_SRCU=y.

<title>srcu: Fix Kconfig botch when SRCU not selected</title>

<id>677df9d4615a2db6774cd0e8951bf7404b858b3b</id>
<content type='text'>
If the CONFIG_SRCU option is not selected, for example, when building
arch/tile allnoconfig, the following build errors appear:

	kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_online_cpu':
	tree.c:(.text+0x4248): multiple definition of `srcu_online_cpu'
	kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2120): first defined here
	kernel/rcu/tree.o: In function `srcu_offline_cpu':
	tree.c:(.text+0x4250): multiple definition of `srcu_offline_cpu'
	kernel/rcu/srcutree.o:srcutree.c:(.text+0x2160): first defined here

The corresponding .config file shows CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y, but no sign
of CONFIG_SRCU, which fatally confuses SRCU's #ifdefs, resulting in
the above errors.  The reason this occurs is the folowing line in
init/Kconfig's definition for TREE_SRCU:

	default y if !TINY_RCU &amp;&amp; !CLASSIC_SRCU

If CONFIG_CLASSIC_SRCU=n, as it will be in for allnoconfig, and if
CONFIG_SMP=y, then we will get CONFIG_TREE_SRCU=y but no CONFIG_SRCU,
as seen in the .config file, and which will result in the above errors.
This error did not show up during rcutorture testing because rcutorture
forces CONFIG_SRCU=y, as it must to prevent build errors in rcutorture.c.

This commit therefore conditions TREE_SRCU (and TINY_SRCU, while it is
at it) with SRCU, like this:

	default y if SRCU &amp;&amp; !TINY_RCU &amp;&amp; !CLASSIC_SRCU

<title>rcu: Make RCU_FANOUT_LEAF help text more explicit about skew_tick</title>

<content type='text'>
If you set RCU_FANOUT_LEAF too high, you can get lock contention
on the leaf rcu_node, and you should boot with the skew_tick kernel
parameter set in order to avoid this lock contention.  This commit
therefore upgrades the RCU_FANOUT_LEAF help text to explicitly state
this.

<title>srcu: Introduce CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option</title>

<id>dad81a2026841b5e2651aab58a7398c13cc05847</id>
<content type='text'>
The TREE_SRCU rewrite is large and a bit on the non-simple side, so
this commit helps reduce risk by allowing the old v4.11 SRCU algorithm
to be selected using a new CLASSIC_SRCU Kconfig option that depends
on RCU_EXPERT.  The default is to use the new TREE_SRCU and TINY_SRCU
algorithms, in order to help get these the testing that they need.
However, if your users do not require the update-side scalability that
is to be provided by TREE_SRCU, select RCU_EXPERT and then CLASSIC_SRCU
to revert back to the old classic SRCU algorithm.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "Several noteworthy changes.

   - Parav's rdma controller is finally merged. It is very straight
     forward and can limit the abosolute numbers of common rdma
     constructs used by different cgroups.

   - kernel/cgroup.c got too chubby and disorganized. Created
     kernel/cgroup/ subdirectory and moved all cgroup related files
     under kernel/ there and reorganized the core code. This hurts for
     backporting patches but was long overdue.

   - cgroup v2 process listing reimplemented so that it no longer
     depends on allocating a buffer large enough to cache the entire
     result to sort and uniq the output. v2 has always mangled the sort
     order to ensure that users don't depend on the sorted output, so
     this shouldn't surprise anybody. This makes the pid listing
     functions use the same iterators that are used internally, which
     have to have the same iterating capabilities anyway.

   - perf cgroup filtering now works automatically on cgroup v2. This
     patch was posted a long time ago but somehow fell through the
     cracks.

   - misc fixes asnd documentation updates"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven
   Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the
   discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated
   and discussed at lkml[1].

 - Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive
   printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in
   sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit.

   The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or
   would cause a deadlock.

   Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off.
   The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that
   were hidden before[3][4].

 - Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past
   change.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk:
  printk: drop call_console_drivers() unused param
  printk: convert the rest to printk-safe
  printk: remove zap_locks() function
  printk: use printk_safe buffers in printk
  printk: report lost messages in printk safe/nmi contexts
  printk: always use deferred printk when flush printk_safe lines
  printk: introduce per-cpu safe_print seq buffer
  printk: rename nmi.c and exported api
  printk: use vprintk_func in vprintk()
