The Linux kernel coding style says that single-statement blocks should
omit curly braces unless the other leg of the "if" statement has
multiple statements, in which case the curly braces should be included.
This commit fixes RCU's violations of this rule.

If the nohz= boot parameter disables nohz, then RCU_FAST_NO_HZ needs to
also disable itself. This commit therefore checks for tick_nohz_enabled
being zero, disabling rcu_prepare_for_idle() if so. This commit assumes
that tick_nohz_enabled can change at runtime: If this is not the case,
then a simpler approach suffices.

Currently, if several CPUs in the same package have all lazy RCU
callbacks, their wakeups will be uncorrelated. If all the CPUs are in the
same power domain (as is often the case), this will result in unnecessary
power-ups of the package. This commit therefore uses round_jiffies()
to round the timeouts to a second boundary, increasing the odds that
they can be coalesced with each other or with other timeouts.

It is time to optimize CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU's synchronize_rcu()
for uniprocessor optimization, which means that rcu_blocking_is_gp()
can no longer rely on RCU read-side critical sections having disabled

The __call_rcu() function will invoke the RCU core, for example, if
it detects that the current CPU has too many callbacks. However, this
can happen on an offline CPU that is on its way to the idle loop, in
which case it is an error to invoke the RCU core, and the excess callbacks
will be adopted in any case. This commit therefore adds checks to
__call_rcu() for running on an offline CPU, refraining from invoking
the RCU core in this case.

The child threads in the rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() are improperly
synchronized, which can cause the rcu_barrier() tests to hang. The
failure mode is as follows:
1. CPU 0 running in rcu_torture_barrier() sets barrier_cbs_count
to n_barrier_cbs.
2. CPU 1 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, posts
its RCU callback, and atomically decrements barrier_cbs_count.
Because barrier_cbs_count is not zero, it does not do the wake_up().
3. CPU 2 running in rcu_torture_barrier_cbs() wakes up, but
finds that barrier_cbs_count is not equal to n_barrier_cbs,
and so returns to sleep.
4. The value of barrier_cbs_count therefore never reaches zero,
which causes the test to hang.
This commit therefore uses a phase variable to coordinate the test,
preventing this scenario from occurring.

The rcu_node tree array is sized based on compile-time constants,
including NR_CPUS. Although this approach has worked well in the past,
the recent trend by many distros to define NR_CPUS=4096 results in
excessive grace-period-initialization latencies.
This commit therefore substitutes the run-time computed nr_cpu_ids for
the compile-time NR_CPUS when building the tree. This can result in
much of the compile-time-allocated rcu_node array being unused. If
this is a major problem, you are in a specialized situation anyway,

Continuation lines are buffered internally, intended to merge the
chunked printk()s into a single record, and to isolate potentially
racy continuation users from usual terminated line users.
This though, has the effect that partial lines are not printed to
the console in the moment they are emitted. In case the kernel
crashes in the meantime, the potentially interesting printed
information would never reach the consoles.
Here we share the continuation buffer with the console copy logic,
and partial lines are always immediately flushed to the available
consoles. They are still buffered internally to improve the
readability and integrity of the messages and minimize the amount
of needed record headers to store.

The recent changes to the printk buffer management resulted in
SYSLOG_ACTION_READ to only return a single message, whereas previously
the buffer would get filled as much as possible. As, when too small to
fit everything, filling it to the last byte would be pretty ugly with
the new code, the patch arranges for as many messages as possible to
get returned in a single invocation. User space tools in at least all
SLES versions depend on the old behavior.
This at once addresses the issue attempted to get fixed with commit
b56a39ac263e5b8cafedd551a49c2105e68b98c2 ("printk: return -EINVAL if
the message len is bigger than the buf size"), and since that commit
widened the possibility for losing a message altogether, the patch
here assumes that this other commit would get reverted first
(otherwise the patch here won't apply).
Furthermore, this patch also addresses the problem dealt with in
commit 4a77a5a06ec66ed05199b301e7c25f42f979afdc ("printk: use mutex
lock to stop syslog_seq from going wild"), so I'd recommend reverting
that one too (albeit there's no direct collision between the two).
